To accurately, efficiently, and environmentally prepare carrageenan oligosaccharides, we have developed a method that uses H2O2 and TiO2 as catalysts for the photodegradation of κ-carrageenan (KC). The photodegradation of KC was monitored using various amounts of TiO2 and H2O2 and different concentrations of KC via HPLC and it could decrease the average molecular weight of KC into 1.6 kDa within 2 h. Further research under optimal conditions. As a control, the effects of UV, UV/H2O2, UV/TiO2, and H2O2/TiO2 treatments were studied. In contrast, UV/H2O2/TiO2 treatments showed a coordinated effect. The effect of degradation on the structure of KC was investigated by FT-IR, XRD, and there was no obvious remotion of sulfate groups. Furthermore, oral administration of KCO prolonged the healthy lifespan of nematodes induced by ultraviolet stress and significantly regulated oxidative stress. This study suggests that the precise preparation and application of KCO may be beneficial.
