Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of protein extraction, and particularly relates to a method for extracting protein from Akebia trifoliata seeds. Background Art

[0002] Akebia trifoliata, also known as Akebia trifoliata fruit, golden kidney fruit, August explosion, wild banana, cow kidney fruit, etc., its fruit is edible and has significant medicinal value and health care effects, and is a typical resource for both medicine and food. Akebia trifoliata seeds account for more than 20% of the fresh weight of the fruit and are one of the main by-products in the processing and utilization of Akebia trifoliata. Akebia trifoliata seeds are rich in oil, vitamins, protein and carbohydrates, among which the protein content is about 35.5%, and it is a good source of plant protein. At present, there is no relevant research on the extraction process of Akebia trifoliata seed protein, and it has great development prospects. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention aims to provide a method for extracting protein from Akebia trifoliata seeds to improve the extraction rate and purity of Akebia trifoliata seed protein.

[0004] A method for extracting protein from Akebia trifoliata seeds in this solution includes the following steps:

[0005] Step 1: Crush Akebia trifoliata seeds, and perform stirring degreasing treatment with n-hexane or petroleum ether at 40-45 °C. After removing the oil, dry to obtain Akebia trifoliata seed powder.

[0006] Step 2: Put the Akebia trifoliata seed powder into a microwave reaction container, and then add a sodium hydroxide solution with a concentration of 0.1-0.12 mol / L for microwave-assisted alkali extraction. The ratio of Akebia trifoliata seed powder to sodium hydroxide solution is 1 g: 10-15 ml; during microwave-assisted alkali extraction, the microwave power is 300-350 W, and the microwave treatment time is 15-20 min.

[0007] Step 3: Cool the reaction solution of microwave-assisted alkali extraction to room temperature, and then transfer it to the reaction chamber of a pulsed electric field treatment device for pulsed electric field-assisted ultrasonic-assisted enzymatic hydrolysis. After treatment, add neutral protease to the reaction solution, and then put it into an ultrasonic cleaner for ultrasonic-assisted enzymatic hydrolysis.

[0008] Step 4: After the enzymatic hydrolysis in Step 3 is completed, cool the reaction solution to room temperature; slowly add ammonium sulfate powder to the reaction solution for salting-out precipitation.

[0009] Step 5: Centrifuge the salted-out mixture at a rotation speed of 3500-4500 r / min for 10-20 min; collect the supernatant.

[0010] Step 6: Pass the supernatant collected in Step 5 through an affinity chromatography column pre-equilibrated with pH 7.0 phosphate buffer, controlling the flow rate at 1 - 1.2 mL / min; then rinse the chromatography column with pH 7.0 phosphate buffer to remove unbound impurities; then use an eluent containing 1 - 1.2 mol / L sodium chloride to elute the protein of Hovenia acerba seeds bound to the chromatography column, and collect the eluent;

[0011] Step 7: Add a 0.9 - 1.2 mol / L sodium hydroxide solution to the eluent collected in Step 6, adjust the pH value to 10.5 - 11.5, and stir and extract at 40 - 45 °C for 1 - 2 h; after the extraction is completed, centrifuge again to collect the supernatant; slowly add a 0.9 - 1.2 mol / L hydrochloric acid solution to the supernatant to adjust the pH value of the supernatant to 5, then centrifuge and collect the precipitate;

[0012] Step 8: Dissolve the precipitate collected in Step 7 with pH 7.0 phosphate buffer, put it into a dialysis bag and dialyze it in deionized water at 3 - 5 °C for 20 - 30 h, changing the dialysis solution 3 - 4 times during the period; after the dialysis is completed, take out the solution, place it in an oven, and dry it to a constant weight at 40 - 50 °C to obtain the protein of Hovenia acerba seeds.

[0013] Beneficial effects of this scheme: This scheme first uses n-hexane or petroleum ether to stir and degrease the crushed Hovenia acerba seeds at 40 - 45 °C to remove oil interference and lay a foundation for subsequent steps; then, using a sodium hydroxide solution with a specific concentration, under precise control of microwave power and time, the protein is fully dissolved, greatly improving the release efficiency of the protein from Hovenia acerba seed powder. The subsequent pulsed electric field-assisted ultrasonic-assisted enzymatic hydrolysis and ultrasonic-assisted enzymatic hydrolysis processes further decompose and dissociate protein molecules. The reaction solution after enzymatic hydrolysis provides a suitable system for salting-out precipitation, enabling the protein to be preliminarily separated by salting out.

[0014] The mixture after salting out is centrifuged to collect the supernatant, and the supernatant enters a pre-equilibrated affinity chromatography column. The affinity chromatography column uses the binding characteristics of a specific ligand and the protein of Hovenia acerba seeds to separate the protein from impurities under the control of the flow rate, and then precisely elutes the target protein with a specific eluent, greatly improving the protein purity. The eluted protein solution is further purified by adjusting the pH value for extraction, precipitation and other operations to remove residual impurities. The finally collected precipitate is dissolved with phosphate buffer, dialyzed and dried to obtain high-purity protein of Hovenia acerba seeds.

[0015] Further, in Step 1, the ratio of the crushed Augustea seeds to the solvent is 1 g : 8 - 10 ml, and the degreasing treatment is carried out 2 - 3 times, each time for 1.5 - 2 h; the stirring speed is 200 - 300 rpm. Multiple degreasing treatments ensure a lower residual oil content, reduce its interference with processes such as enzymatic hydrolysis and separation in the subsequent protein extraction process, create a more favorable environment for the efficient extraction of subsequent proteins, and further improve the protein extraction rate. A stirring speed of 200 - 300 rpm can not only ensure sufficient contact between the solvent and the Augustea seed powder but also prevent the destruction of the protein structure due to overly intense stirring.

[0016] Further, in Step 3, when using pulsed electric field-assisted ultrasonic-assisted enzymatic hydrolysis, the electric field strength is 18 - 22 kV / cm, the pulse width is 90 - 110 μs, the pulse frequency is 9 - 10 Hz, and the treatment is carried out for 2 - 5 min. This parameter combination can effectively utilize the synergistic effect of the pulsed electric field and ultrasound to further accelerate the decomposition and dissociation of protein molecules. An appropriate electric field strength can change the structure of protein molecules, increasing their sensitivity to enzymatic hydrolysis, while the cavitation effect of ultrasound can further promote the contact between the enzyme and the protein substrate. The two work together to achieve a better enzymatic hydrolysis effect in a shorter time, improve the protein extraction efficiency, reduce the enzymatic hydrolysis time and the amount of enzyme used, and lower the cost.

[0017] Further, in Step 3, the mass ratio of neutral protease to the substrate is 1:90 - 120. At this ratio, the enzyme can fully act on the protein substrate, neither resulting in incomplete enzymatic hydrolysis due to insufficient enzyme amount nor causing waste due to excessive enzyme amount.

[0018] Further, in Step 3, the parameters for ultrasonic-assisted enzymatic hydrolysis are: ultrasonic power 180 - 220 W, frequency 30 - 50 kHz, and ultrasonic-assisted enzymatic hydrolysis is carried out at 40 - 45 °C for 1 - 2 h. This ultrasonic power and frequency can, without destroying the protein structure, further promote the interaction between the enzyme and the protein through the mechanical effect and thermal effect of ultrasound, accelerating the enzymatic hydrolysis reaction. The temperature condition of 40 - 45 °C not only conforms to the active temperature range of neutral protease but also synergizes with the ultrasonic effect to achieve the best enzymatic hydrolysis effect, further improving the protein extraction efficiency and quality.

[0019] Further, in Step 4, when adding ammonium sulfate powder, it is added while stirring to make its saturation reach 50%, and after adding, continue to stir for 30 - 50 min for salting-out precipitation. This helps to ensure the uniform dispersion of ammonium sulfate in the reaction solution, makes the salting-out process more complete and stable, and helps the protein to precipitate fully, improving the effect of salting-out precipitation and providing a better basis for the subsequent separation and purification of proteins.

[0020] Further, in Step 6, the stationary column of the affinity chromatography column is selected as a dextran gel column.

[0021] Further, in step six, the flow rate during the elution of the Hovenia acerba seed protein bound to the chromatography column is 0.5 - 0.8 mL / min. This elution flow rate enables the eluent to fully interact with the protein bound to the chromatography column, ensuring that the target protein can be completely eluted, while avoiding incomplete protein elution due to too fast a flow rate or affecting production efficiency due to too slow a flow rate.

[0022] Further, in step seven, the rotation speed for the centrifugation treatment is 3500 - 4500 r / min, and the centrifugation treatment time is 10 - 20 min. This rotation speed and time setting can ensure complete precipitation of the protein while avoiding damage to the protein structure caused by too high a rotation speed or too long a centrifugation time.

[0023] Further, in step eight, during the dialysis treatment, dialysis is carried out in deionized water at 3 - 5 °C for 20 - 30 h, and the dialysis solution is changed 3 - 4 times during this period. Low-temperature dialysis can reduce protein degradation and maintain the activity and structural integrity of the protein.

[0024] Experiments have proved that the above-mentioned Hovenia acerba seed protein has obvious antioxidant ability. Therefore, this application also claims the protection of the application of Hovenia acerba seed protein in the preparation of antioxidants. Description of the Drawings

[0060] 3. Hydroxyl radical scavenging ability

[0061] Referring to the method of Bai Ranran et al. in

[21] (

[21] Bai Ranran, Song Mingfa, Zhang Qian, et al. Study on the modification of insoluble dietary fiber from ginger residue by compound enzyme method and its antioxidant activity [J]. China Condiment, 2023, 48(01): 87-92), 50 μL of AP-SDF, 50 μL of 9 mM FeSO4 solution, 50 μL of 9 mM salicylic acid-ethanol solution, and 50 μL of 8 mM H2O2 solution were taken in a 96-well microplate, shaken and mixed evenly, incubated at 37 °C for 30 min, and the absorbance was measured at 510 nm.

[0064] 4. IC 50 comparison

[0065] By calculating the IC 50 values of the scavenging rates of Actinidia latifolia seed protein against DPPH, ABTS, and OH free radicals, the antioxidant activities were further compared. The results are as shown in Figure 4 the following. The scavenging ability of Actinidia latifolia seed protein against free radicals is in the order of ABTS > OH > DPPH. The IC 50 of ABTS free radical = 0.5128 mg / mL, the IC 50 of hydroxyl free radical = 0.5710 mg / mL, and the IC 50 of DPPH free radical = 0.5899 mg / mL. Among them, the scavenging ability against ABTS free radical is the strongest. It may be due to the difference in the types of free radicals and the different mechanisms of its scavenging activity against different free radicals, resulting in differences in the scavenging rates of different free radicals.
