Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of grain and food processing, and particularly relates to a method for balancing the nutrition and eating quality of steamed buns by using wheat bran active protein. BACKGROUND

[0002] Wheat is one of the main crops for human beings, and has unique processing characteristics. Wheat flour ground from wheat can meet the needs of making various kinds of noodles such as bread, steamed buns, noodles, biscuits and the like. However, during the process of wheat milling, bran is produced as a main by-product, and the annual output is more than 20 million tons. The bran is rich in nutrients, accounting for 60%-80% of the total nutrients of wheat kernels, but the rough taste caused by the high content of dietary fiber makes it less acceptable to consumers. Therefore, most of the bran is used as livestock feed, and the utilization rate in food processing is less than 20%. This low-value utilization not only causes a large amount of nutrients to be lost, but also makes the over-processed flour products gradually evolve into high-energy and low-nutrition foods. Therefore, it is an urgent need for the grain industry and social development to improve the deep processing utilization rate of bran components, strengthen the dietary nutrition of flour products, and improve the taste and eating quality of flour products.

[0003] Bran protein is an important component in bran, and its content is only second to that of dietary fiber. Unlike gluten protein in wheat flour, bran protein is mainly composed of non-gluten protein (globulin and albumin). The amino acid composition is more balanced, and the content of lysine is 2 times higher than that of gluten protein, which can prevent "lysine deficiency" for a long time. In addition, bran protein contains rich bioactive peptides, which play an important role in reducing cholesterol, lowering blood pressure, lowering blood sugar, antioxidant, and especially weight loss and prevention of obesity. At present, the research on bran protein mainly focuses on the preparation of concentrates and bioactive peptides to meet the protein needs of special groups, and the functional properties (foaming ability, emulsifying properties, gelation, etc.) in food applications are evaluated. However, there is no report on how bran protein specifically affects the processing quality of flour products, which limits its deep processing utilization in the field of flour products.

[0004] In recent years, whole grain foods have gradually entered people's vision, and with the continuous in-depth study of the characteristics and components of bran, the excellent food functional properties of bran protein have been continuously explored. Researchers have found that bran protein not only can be used as a nutritional enhancer for flour products, but also has the potential to improve the processing quality of flour products. Therefore, extracting and purifying bran protein to strengthen the nutritional value and improve the eating quality of flour products is an important solution to overcome the negative effects of whole grain products.

[0005] At present, the raw bran is usually pretreated by ultrasonic wave before extracting the protein from the bran, and the traditional alkali-soluble acid precipitation method is usually used to extract the bran protein. However, this method has significant limitations:

[0006] 1) Although the ultrasonic pretreatment can improve the protein yield, it has high cost and high energy consumption and active loss. The wheat bran needs to be pretreated by ultrasonic wave at high temperature for a long time, which can improve the protein yield but also increases the energy consumption. The cavitation effect of ultrasonic wave can also cause the denaturation of protein. In addition, the cost of ultrasonic hardware equipment is high, which restricts the industrialization promotion.

[0007] 2) When the bran protein is extracted in an alkaline environment by the alkali-soluble acid precipitation method, the protein can be separated by adjusting the pH value, but the damage of strong acid and alkali environment to the function of protein cannot be ignored. The treatment method of alkali-soluble acid precipitation can easily cause the denaturation of protein. The alkaline environment can destroy the secondary and tertiary structures of protein, which can cause the significant decrease of functional properties (such as solubility, foaming property and emulsifying property) of protein. The denaturation not only affects the nutritional value of protein, but also causes the prepared bran active protein to be unable to effectively play its role in improving the texture and strengthening the nutrition of steamed bread, which further affects the balance between the nutrition and food quality of steamed bread and limits its application in food industry.

[0008] The superposition of the two problems makes the bran protein extracted by the existing technology not only difficult to balance the yield and activity, but also unable to effectively play its role in improving the texture and strengthening the nutrition of steamed bread due to the significant loss of functional properties. At present, due to the fine processing of wheat, the structural contradiction between the low-value utilization of wheat by-products bran and important components bran protein and the "high energy and low nutrition" structure of staple food continues to intensify. Therefore, in view of the problems that the bran protein is usually pretreated by ultrasonic wave to improve the protein yield but at the same time increases the energy consumption and equipment cost, and the bran protein is usually extracted by the traditional alkali-soluble acid precipitation method but is easy to cause the denaturation of protein, a method for balancing the nutrition and food quality of steamed bread by bran active protein is proposed to balance the nutrition and food quality of steamed bread, and promote the high-value utilization of wheat by-products. SUMMARY

[0009] The purpose of the present application is to solve the problems of denaturation and high energy consumption and cost in the extraction of bran protein at present, and to apply the bran protein, which is a wheat homologous protein resource, to the nutrition and processing quality improvement of steamed bread and other staple foods, so as to improve the high-value utilization of bran protein components of wheat processing by-products and realize the double improvement of nutrition and food quality of steamed bread and other staple foods.

And the high-activity protein can also significantly enhance the fermentation gas holding capacity of the dough at a certain addition amount, increase the specific volume of the steamed buns, make the internal structure of the steamed buns more soft and fluffy, improve the taste, and thus ensure the eating quality of the steamed buns. At the same time, the content of lysine in the steamed buns is higher, which effectively strengthens the nutrition function of the steamed buns, so that the steamed bun product can improve both nutrition and eating quality.

[0032] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs; the terminology used in the description herein is for describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application; the description herein and the claims of the application and the above description of the drawings herein are intended to cover all alternatives, modifications, and equivalents of the application falling within the scope of the application; the terms "comprising", "having", "including", and "containing" used herein are meant to be broad and encompass the terms "consisting of", "consisting essentially of", and "substantially consisting of". The terms "first", "second", and the like, used in the description and in the claims herein, are used for distinguishing between similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a particular sequential order.

[0033] In view of the fact that at present, wheat bran is mostly subjected to ultrasonic pretreatment to increase the protein yield, but at the same time, the energy consumption and equipment cost are increased, and the traditional alkali-soluble acid precipitation method is mostly used to extract and prepare the wheat bran protein, which easily leads to protein denaturation and inactivation. We propose a method for balancing the nutrition and food quality of steamed buns by using active wheat bran protein, wherein the method is implemented as follows: first, the bran raw material is subjected to enzymatic pretreatment, and the active wheat bran protein is extracted based on the water extraction gradient salting-out method to obtain the active wheat bran protein. Then, the commercially available wheat flour is added with the active wheat bran protein in a proportion of 0.5-4.0% (w / w) to the wheat flour to prepare a mixed flour of the active wheat bran protein and the wheat flour, the dough is formed by stirring with a needle and a mortar, the dough is made into a steamed bun embryo, and the steamed bun embryo is steamed to obtain a steamed bun rich in the active wheat bran protein.

[0034] It is considered that at present, the annual output of wheat by-products bran in China is more than 200 million tons, but most of the bran is used as feed or directly discarded due to the rough taste caused by high dietary fiber, while the bran carries 60%-80% of the nutritional essence of wheat kernels, especially lysine content, and these nutrients are lost with the waste. At the same time, due to the fine processing of wheat, the development of staple food such as flour in China is generally faced with the "high energy and low nutrition" dilemma, which also increases the difficulty and cost of processing wheat by-products. The present application promotes the value-added conversion of wheat by-products by converting the bran protein into a high-value-added product. In the embodiments of the present application, the bran raw material is subjected to synergistic treatment by cellulase and neutral protease, the active wheat bran protein is extracted from the bran by using the water extraction gradient salting-out method, and the extraction process is optimized, the active wheat bran protein is added to the wheat flour to process into a steamed bun product, and the nutritional function and processing quality of staple food products such as steamed buns in China are improved. By converting the active ingredients in the bran into a high-value-added product, the value-added conversion of bran is promoted, the wheat processing industry chain is extended, and strong support is provided for the sustainable development of China's health strategy and society and economy.

[0035] Embodiment 1

[0038] S20, commercially available wheat flour is taken, and the prepared wheat bran active protein is added into the wheat flour at a proportion of 0.5% (w / w) to prepare wheat bran active protein-wheat flour mixed powder, and the wheat bran active protein-wheat flour mixed powder is reserved;

[0039] S30, water with a weight of 40% of the wheat bran active protein-wheat flour mixed powder is added into the wheat bran active protein-wheat flour mixed powder based on a steamed bun processing technology, the water temperature is 25℃, the wheat bran active protein-wheat flour mixed powder is stirred and treated by using a needle type and a kneading bowl to form a dough, and the dough is made into a steamed bun embryo, wherein when the wheat bran active protein-wheat flour mixed powder is stirred and treated by using the needle type and the kneading bowl, the dough is formed by stirring and treating for 3 min, the dough is rolled 10 times from top to bottom at a tablet press face roller spacing of 0.5 to exhaust air, then the dough is evenly divided into two blocks, and each block is hand-kneaded for 20 times, so that the dough is moisturized and shaped to form the steamed bun embryo, and the steamed bun embryo is reserved;

[0040] S40, the prepared steamed bun embryo is placed in a constant-temperature and constant-humidity fermentation box, and then the steamed bun embryo is steamed to obtain a steamed bun rich in wheat bran active protein, wherein when the prepared steamed bun embryo is placed in the constant-temperature and constant-humidity fermentation box, the temperature of the fermentation box is 30℃, the humidity is 80%, and the fermentation time is 30 min.

[0041] In the embodiment, the method for extracting the wheat bran active protein based on the water extraction salting-out method comprises the following steps:

[0042] S101, the sieved bran raw material is taken, deionized water is added into the sieved bran raw material, so that the solid-liquid ratio of the bran raw material and the deionized water is 1:5, a bran water solution is prepared, the pH value is adjusted to 6, and the temperature of the bran water solution is 35℃, and the bran water solution is reserved;

[0043] S102, adding neutral protease and cellulase into the bran aqueous solution, and performing mixed enzymatic hydrolysis treatment on the bran aqueous solution by the neutral protease and the cellulase, wherein the neutral protease is used in an amount of 0.5%, the cellulase has a concentration of 0.04 IU / mL, and the synergistic effect of the cellulase and the neutral protease can efficiently decompose cellulose in the bran in a short time and effectively extract protein, thereby reducing energy consumption in the extraction process. Compared with ultrasonic treatment, the enzymatic hydrolysis treatment greatly reduces energy consumption. Meanwhile, in the traditional alkali dissolution and acid precipitation method, bran protein is treated under alkaline conditions, which can easily cause protein denaturation and reduce the functional properties of the protein. This denaturation not only affects the nutritional value of the protein, but also limits its application in the food industry. In contrast, the enzymatic hydrolysis combined with the water extraction gradient salting-out method adopted in the present application can reduce energy consumption and effectively avoid protein denaturation.

[0044] S103, after the enzymatic hydrolysis, centrifugal separation is performed to obtain supernatant, ammonium sulfate is added into the supernatant in a gradient manner until a 60% ammonium sulfate solution concentration is reached, and after fractional gradient precipitation, the ammonium sulfate precipitate is collected by centrifugation, desalted by dialysis, and vacuum freeze-dried to obtain bran active protein.

[0045] In the embodiment of the present application, the water extraction gradient salting-out method is used, which can ensure the activity of the extracted bran protein compared with the traditional alkali dissolution and acid precipitation method, and the synergistic treatment of cellulase and neutral protease significantly reduces the energy consumption for extracting the same target amount of bran active protein. Compared with the traditional extraction technology, the high-activity bran protein prepared has more nutritious and balanced amino acid composition, especially higher content of lysine, which is a limiting amino acid in Chinese steamed buns and other staple foods. The addition of the bran active protein effectively enhances the nutritional function of the steamed buns. At the same time, the high-activity protein can also significantly enhance the fermentation gas retention of the dough, increase the specific volume of the steamed buns, make the internal structure of the steamed buns more soft and fluffy, and improve the taste, so that steamed buns with balanced nutrition and food quality are finally prepared.

[0090] Comparative Example 2

[0091] The method of this comparative example was the same as that of Example 3, except that in step S30, the wheat bran active protein was added to the bread formula flour at a proportion of 0% (w / w), and a bread added with wheat bran active protein flour was made.

[0092] Performance test:

[0093] Steamed bun quality determination: The steamed buns prepared in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Example 1 of the present application were taken, the millet volume displacement method was used to determine the specific volume of the steamed buns, a texture analyzer was used to determine the hardness, chewiness and other texture properties, and a professional digital camera combined with Image J software was used to take pictures of the steamed bun images for microscopic observation of the pore structure.

[0094] Specifically, when determining the specific volume of the steamed bun, the steamed bun was first weighed using a balance, and then the volume of the steamed bun was determined using the millet volume displacement method. The steamed bun was gently placed into a container filled with millet, ensuring that the steamed bun was completely covered by the millet. The steamed bun was slowly taken out, and at this time the millet in the container would decrease due to the occupation of the steamed bun. The volume of the decreased millet was the volume of the steamed bun.

[0095] When determining the elasticity texture of the steamed bun, the steamed bun was sliced, and the middle three slices were taken for determination of the texture of the steamed bun. The P / 36R probe TPA mode was used for determination, the compression ratio of the steamed bun was 50%, the pre-measurement speed, the middle measurement speed and the post-measurement speed were 3 mm / s, 2 mm / s and 5 mm / s, respectively, the trigger force was 5 g, the interval time was 5 s, and each sample was repeated at least 5 times in parallel.

[0096] When the pore structure of steamed buns is measured, the steamed bun slices are photographed, and the steamed bun images are analyzed using Image J software, the area of 4x4 cm in the middle of each steamed bun slice is intercepted, and the porosity of the steamed bun slice is calculated. 2

[0097] It should be noted that the specific volume of steamed buns is one of the key indicators for measuring the quality of steamed buns, and directly reflects the steamed buns. The greater the specific volume value, the more soft and delicious the steamed buns are. Table 1 and Figure 1 The specific volume test results of the steamed buns prepared in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Example 1 of the present application are shown. The results show that with the addition of wheat bran active protein, the specific volume of steamed buns first shows an upward trend, reaches a peak at the addition amount of Example 3, but the specific volume of steamed buns with added wheat bran active protein is higher than that of Comparative Example 1 overall. This result shows that the appropriate addition of wheat bran active protein helps to improve the softness of steamed buns and improve the taste.

[0098] The texture properties of steamed buns, as a key indicator for evaluating the quality of food, directly affect the taste acceptance of the product. Table 1 and Figure 2 The texture property test results of the steamed buns prepared in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Example 1 of the present application are shown. Through texture analysis of steamed buns with different proportions of added wheat bran active protein and after fermentation and steaming, it is found that with the increase of the addition amount of wheat bran active protein, the hardness and chewiness of steamed buns show a trend of first decreasing and then increasing, and compared with Comparative Example 1, the steamed bun samples with added wheat bran active protein are overall reduced in these two indicators. This change means that the addition of wheat bran active protein effectively improves the softness of steamed buns, making the steamed buns more soft and delicious.

[0099] Table 1 and Figure 3 The pore structure test results of the steamed buns prepared in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Example 1 of the present application are shown. As can be seen from Table 1, the specific volume of steamed buns increases after the addition of wheat bran active protein, and the structure is more fluffy; at the same time, the hardness of steamed buns decreases, and the taste is more soft and delicate. Wheat bran active protein may interact with gluten protein, affecting the network structure of gluten protein. In the present application, the different addition amounts of wheat bran active protein affect the aggregation and disaggregation degree of gluten protein molecules, and the dual effect of aggregation and disaggregation affects the network structure of gluten protein. In terms of starch structure, wheat bran active protein can increase the order degree of starch, and promote the formation of more ordered structure of starch molecules in steamed buns. The changes in the structure of gluten protein and starch molecules jointly affect the gas holding property of fermented steamed buns, and then affect the texture and specific volume.

[0109] As can be seen from Table 3, the steamed buns added with wheat bran active protein have higher scores in appearance, taste, flavor and color compared with comparative example 1, so it can be known that the appearance, taste, flavor, texture and overall acceptability of the steamed buns prepared by the present application examples 1-5 are higher. The addition of an appropriate amount of wheat bran active protein can significantly improve the texture properties of steamed buns, making them softer and easier to chew, and improving the taste.

[0110] Nutrient component analysis: the steamed buns prepared by the present application examples 1-5 and comparative example 1 were respectively tested for protein content (Kjeldahl nitrogen determination method) and amino acid composition (amino acid analyzer) to evaluate the effect of improving nutritional value. Table 5, Figure 5 - Figure 6 shows the nutrient component analysis results.

[0115] As can be seen from Table 5, by gradient addition of bran active protein, the protein nutrient density of steamed buns is significantly improved, and the problem of lysine deficiency in traditional steamed buns is also solved. By comparing the bread prepared by the present application example 6 with the bread prepared by comparative example 2, the bread prepared by adding bran active protein to the bread flour also has the effect of nutritional fortification and quality improvement (see Table 2, Table 4, Table 6), thereby overcoming the limitations of high temperature and acidic environment during bread preparation, indicating that the wheat bran active protein prepared by the present application has high applicability.​

[0116] In summary, the present application provides a method for balancing the nutritional value and eating quality of steamed buns by using wheat bran active protein. In the embodiments of the present application, the wheat bran raw material is enzymatically hydrolyzed under the synergistic action of cellulase and neutral protease. Compared with ultrasonic treatment, the method improves the protein yield while significantly reducing the energy consumption and cost of extracting the same amount of wheat bran active protein. Compared with the traditional alkali dissolution and acid precipitation method, the water extraction and gradient salting method can ensure the activity of the extracted wheat bran active protein and improve its functional properties. Compared with traditional extraction techniques, the steamed buns prepared by the present application are more nutritious, with a balanced amino acid composition, especially a high content of lysine, which is a limiting amino acid in Chinese steamed buns and other staple foods. The addition of the high-activity protein effectively enhances the nutritional function of the steamed buns. It is worth noting that the high-activity protein can also significantly enhance the fermentation gas retention of the dough at a certain addition amount, increase the specific volume of the steamed buns, make the internal structure of the steamed buns more soft and fluffy, improve the taste, and thus improve the eating quality of the steamed buns. At the same time, the amino acid composition in the steamed buns is more balanced, especially the high content of lysine, which effectively enhances the nutritional function of the steamed buns, making the steamed bun products have both improved nutritional value and eating quality.
