Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a mulberry leaf fermentation method based on electrically stimulating bacteria, and products and applications thereof, and belongs to the field of agricultural technology. BACKGROUND

[0002] China is short of feed resources, and the gap between supply and demand is large. Through microbial fermentation and other technologies, the quality of traditional feed grains can be improved, and non-traditional feed resources can be developed. China is a large country of traditional mulberry cultivation and silkworm breeding. Mulberry leaves have high nutritional value and are a new type of feed resource with good development potential. Mulberry leaves, which have high nutritional value, are a high-quality and complete feed. Compared with alfalfa, which is known as the "king of feed", mulberry leaves have higher nutritional value and stronger health care effect. When applied in animal breeding, mulberry leaves can improve production performance, increase immunity, and improve the quality of livestock products, and reduce feeding costs. Mulberry leaves contain bioactive substances such as flavonoids, polyphenols, polysaccharides, and alkaloids, which have antioxidant, antibacterial, and immune-enhancing effects, and have health care functions for livestock and poultry. However, the presence of anti-nutritional factors such as phytic acid and tannin in mulberry leaves limits the amount of mulberry leaves used in feed. Microbial fermentation can effectively reduce the content of anti-nutritional factors and improve the utilization rate of mulberry leaves. Therefore, the application of fermented mulberry leaves in animal feed can not only alleviate the problem of feed shortage, but also improve the meat quality and immunity of animals, which is conducive to the sustainable development of animal husbandry.

[0003] Currently, there are many studies on mulberry leaf fermentation methods. However, there are still few fermentation preparation methods for reducing the anti-nutritional factors of mulberry leaves. Electric stimulation is a method of promoting cell proliferation and accelerating microbial metabolism by applying a small voltage or current. Compared with general electrochemical methods, it has the advantages of low power consumption and no production of toxic and harmful substances. Moreover, electric stimulation technology does not require the addition of ion exchange membranes and has low requirements for electrode materials, so it has the advantages of simple reactor and easy operation. However, there are few reports on the use of electric stimulation technology to improve the anti-nutritional factors of fermented mulberry leaves. SUMMARY

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is to provide a method for increasing the crude protein content of mulberry leaves while reducing the content of anti-nutritional factors phytic acid and tannin, which is low in price and simple in process.

In particular, the fermentation of tannin, phytic acid and other anti-nutritional factors in mulberry leaves is optimized for digestion, thereby improving the palatability and nutritional value of fermented mulberry leaves, and better applying mulberry leaf powder in animal breeding.
