Method for extracting fat-soluble components from algae

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for easily extracting at high concentration, fat-soluble components such as fucoxanthin, EPA and β-carotene contained in algae, and a food and a cosmetic composition which are mixed with the extract.SOLUTION: A method is for extracting at high concentration, fat-soluble components from algae. The method for extracting at high concentration, fat-soluble components from algae includes: (1) a step of pulverizing algae; (2) a step of making a solution by adding a low polar solvent to the pulverized algae; and (3) a step of obtaining an extract by subjecting the solution to wet-type atomization treatment.SELECTED DRAWING: None
