  • Patent number: 11470861
    Abstract: Preparation method and application of astaxanthin H1-, or H2- or J-aggregate water dispersion system are provided. The three kind of color-different astaxanthin multimer nano-dispersion systems utilize a special molecular structure of natural biomacromolecule chitosan and fish sperm DNA as well as physical interaction between macromolecules to induce formation and stability of astaxanthin multimers under solvent and salt ion-effects. Low-toxicity ethanol is selected as a good solvent for astaxanthin. The organic solvent can be completely removed in the later stage of the preparation process, and can be further enriched and recycled, which is beneficial to clean production and low cost. By adjusting process parameters, the H1-, or H2- or J-type astaxanthin aggregate water dispersion system can be obtained, so as to control a coloration range of astaxanthin water-based products to be yellow, orange and pink.

  • Patent number: 11103601
    Abstract: Disclosed is a lymph targeting nuclear magnetic contrast agent using a brown algae polysaccharide as a carrier, and a preparation method and a use thereof. A macromolecular contrast agent with good water solubility was prepared by using the brown algae polysaccharide as the carrier, using mannose or mannose derivatives as a mannose receptor (MBP) recognition group, and using a paramagnetic metal ion chelate as a nuclear magnetic resonance imaging group. The binding capacity of lymphoid tissue was improved. The mannose or mannose derivative group introduced into the synthesized contrast agent molecule achieves the goal of binding to the enriched mannose receptors in the lymphoid tissues. At the same time, after the contrast agent is injected subcutaneously, both lymph vessels and lymph nodes were clearly visualized under MRI scanning.
