A novel approach to producing high-purity fucoxanthinol (FXOH) was exploited as a sustainable method to maximize fucoxanthin (FX) utilization. Through fusing the genes of cholesterol esterase and SpyTag and then expressing them in Escherichia coli, the fusion chimera was self-assembled into insoluble active aggregates by SpyTag, which could be regarded as carrier-free immobilization. The immobilization yield of the active cholesterol esterase aggregates could reach 60%. They have expressed good activity retention at 92.48% and 60.13% after 3 and 12 cycles, respectively, which is an exciting finding. The conversion ratio of FX to FXOH is 95.02%, which is remarkably higher than those realized via the conventional chemical reduction method (55.86%) and the enzymatic hydrolysis method by free cholesterol esterases (84.51%). The purity of FXOH obtained by this method is as high as 98%, which is much higher than those obtained by other methods. Thus, a promising method for simultaneously purifying and immobilizing active cholesterol esterase aggregates is demonstrated in this study by SpyTag tailoring. In addition, this study provides an eco-friendly method for producing high-purity FXOH from FX in a highly efficient manner.
