Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of health foods, and specifically to a method for preparing selenium-enriched yeast. Background Art

[0002] Selenium is an essential trace element for the human body. Appropriate intake of selenium can increase the selenium level in the body, increase the activity of glutathione peroxidase in the body, and scavenge free radical particles generated by metabolism in the body. At the same time, it protects cell membranes and their contents from serious damage. Compared with many selenium preparations, selenium-enriched yeast is an ideal selenium supplement for humans and animals. When yeast grows, it absorbs selenium, and the selenium is organically combined with proteins and polysaccharides in the yeast to be converted into biological selenium. It not only retains the original functions of selenium such as improving immunity, scavenging free radicals, and inhibiting tumor cells, but also eliminates the toxic side effects and gastrointestinal irritation of chemical selenium to the human body.

[0003] Currently, the preparation of selenium-enriched yeast mainly still uses the deep liquid fermentation method, that is, selenium-enriched yeast is obtained through enlarged culture, centrifugation, washing, and freeze-drying. Patent CN 103911299 B discloses a selenium-enriched yeast and its preparation method, that is, hydrolyzed sugar is used as a carbon source in a yeast liquid fermentation medium, and amino acids, sodium selenite, and other nutrient elements are additionally added, and cultured for 18 - 25 h to produce selenium-enriched yeast. Patent CN 113999780 B discloses a method for preparing selenium-enriched yeast powder. This method adds a kelp hydrolysate and cultures for 12 - 36 h to prepare selenium-enriched yeast. And patent CN 114214216 B uses the screened yeast, adds nutrients during fermentation and adds a sodium selenite solution in batches, and after liquid fermentation culture for 16 - 48 h, selenium-enriched yeast with a selenium content greater than 7600 μg / g and an organic selenium conversion rate as high as over 93% can be obtained.

[0004] Although the above methods can prepare selenium-enriched yeast on a large scale, the fermentation cycle is long, and it is necessary to gradually enlarge the culture or even supplement the feed, and the nutrient components of the culture medium are relatively complex. Secondly, in order to obtain edible selenium-enriched yeast, the fermentation broth needs to be separated and purified. The process is not only cumbersome, energy-consuming, but also has high requirements for equipment, and the cost of the entire yeast preparation will be relatively high.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new method for preparing selenium-enriched yeast to overcome the defects brought by the above traditional methods for preparing selenium-enriched yeast. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing selenium-enriched yeast. By using the simplest solid-state fermentation method, a large amount of selenium-enriched yeast can be prepared in a short fermentation time. At the same time, since both the carbon and nitrogen sources are cheap edible raw materials and no other chemical components are added, after fermentation, it can be directly eaten through simple fluidized bed drying, with low cost, safety, and reliability.

[0007] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0008] The present invention provides a method for preparing selenium-enriched yeast, comprising the following steps:

[0010] S2. Dissolve 1 - 20 parts of yeast, 5 - 15 parts of white sugar, 1 - 2 parts of salt, and 0.5 - 5 parts of baking soda in 10 - 25 parts of warm water in advance. After complete dissolution, stir for 5 - 10 min, then add 0.1 - 1 part of selenium-containing compound and stir for 5 - 10 min to obtain a pre-prepared liquid. Pour the prepared pre-prepared liquid into the mixed powder, then add 25 - 40 parts of warm water, turn on the blender and stir for 1 - 4 h to obtain a paste;

[0011] S3. Let the obtained paste stand for fermentation;

[0014] Further, in the step S1, the flour is selected from any one or more of high-gluten flour, medium-gluten flour, and low-gluten flour.

[0015] Further, in the step S1, the bean powder is selected from any one or more of soybean powder, pea powder, and chickpea powder.

[0016] Furthermore, the bean powder is selected from any one or more of soybean cake powder, soybean meal powder, soy protein isolate, soy protein concentrate, soy textured protein, pea protein isolate, and pea protein concentrate.

[0017] Further, in the step S2, the temperature of the warm water is 25 - 40 °C.

[0018] Further, in the step S2, the selenium-containing compound is selected from any one or more of selenium sulfide, sodium selenate, sodium selenite, L-seleno-methylselenocysteine, L-selenomethionine, L-selenocysteine, and selenoglucose.

[0019] Further, in the step S2, the yeast is any one of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Zygosaccharomyces rouxii, Kluyveromyces marxianus, Pichia pastoris, and Yarrowia lipolytica.

[0020] Further, in the step S3, the temperature of the static fermentation is 25-40 °C, the humidity is 70-80%, and the fermentation time is 1-4 h.

[0021] Further, in the step S4, the added mass of the absolute alcohol is 400% of the mass of the fermentation product.

[0022] Further, in the step S5, the thickness of the laid material layer is 5-15 cm, the inlet air temperature is 60-100 °C, and the air velocity is 0.5-2.5 m / s.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0024] The present invention uses flour as a carbon source and soybean powder as a nitrogen source, abandons the traditional liquid fermentation method of yeast, and adopts the simplest solid fermentation method. It can prepare a large amount of selenium-enriched yeast in only 1-4 h. At the same time, since both the carbon and nitrogen sources are cheap edible raw materials and no other chemical components are added, there is no need for a complex separation and purification process after fermentation, and it can be directly eaten only by simple fluidized bed drying, with low cost, safety and reliability.
