To accurately, efficiently, and environmentally prepare carrageenan oligosaccharides, we have developed a method that uses HO and TiO as catalysts for the photodegradation of κ-carrageenan (KC). The photodegradation of KC was monitored using various amounts of TiO and HO 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/HO, UV/TiO, and HO/TiO treatments were studied. In contrast, UV/HO/TiO 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.
