Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of anti-fatigue peptide preparation technology, specifically to a method for preparing anti-fatigue peptides. Background Technology
[0002] Anti-fatigue peptides, as a class of small molecule active substances composed of amino acids linked by peptide bonds, have the characteristics of small molecular weight, easy absorption, high biological activity, and good safety. They can exert anti-fatigue effects through multiple pathways such as participating in energy metabolism, scavenging free radicals, and regulating endocrine function, showing broad application prospects in the fields of functional foods, health products, and medicines.
[0003] Currently, the preparation of anti-fatigue peptides mainly uses animal and plant proteins as raw materials, employing methods such as enzymatic hydrolysis, acid hydrolysis, and alkaline hydrolysis for extraction. Among these, enzymatic hydrolysis is widely used due to its advantages such as mild reaction conditions and good preservation of product activity. However, existing enzymatic hydrolysis processes mostly use single proteases, resulting in low hydrolysis efficiency and low product yield. Furthermore, the lack of effective auxiliary methods during enzymatic hydrolysis leads to long reaction times and low substrate conversion rates. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a method to prepare anti-fatigue peptides that can improve both yield and purity. Summary of the Invention

[0027] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0028] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a method for preparing anti-fatigue peptides, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0029] 1. The preparation method of this anti-fatigue peptide adopts a synergistic enzymatic hydrolysis process using a compound enzyme and ultrasound. The synergistic effect of the compound enzyme combined with the assistance of ultrasound promotes full contact between the enzyme and the substrate, significantly improving the hydrolysis efficiency. Compared with traditional single enzymatic hydrolysis or methods without ultrasound assistance, the yield of anti-fatigue peptide is increased by more than 20%. At the same time, the two-step purification technology of macroporous adsorption resin and ultrafiltration membrane effectively removes impurities, increasing the product purity by more than 30% and making the molecular weight distribution more uniform, thus improving the product quality.
[0030] 2. The preparation method of this anti-fatigue peptide adopts a combination of low-temperature freeze-drying and ultra-fine pulverization with nitrogen protection in the raw material pretreatment stage, which avoids the damage of active ingredients in the raw materials by high temperature and the oxidation and deterioration during the pulverization process, and improves the retention rate of active ingredients by more than 25%.

The subsequent concentration and drying steps can yield stable solid products that are easy to store and transport, providing a technical solution for large-scale industrial production. Attached Figure Description
[0032] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a method for preparing an anti-fatigue peptide according to the present invention. Detailed Implementation
[0033] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0034] Please see Figure 1 This invention provides a new technical solution: a method for preparing an anti-fatigue peptide, comprising the following steps:
[0035] Step 1: Raw material pretreatment: Select fresh deep-sea fish skin (cod skin or salmon skin), requiring that the surface of the fish skin be undamaged and odorless, and the collection time not exceed 24 hours;
[0036] Rinse the fish skin surface with deionized water to remove blood and impurities, repeating the rinsing 3-5 times until the rinsing solution is clear;
[0037] Cut the cleaned fish skin into uniform 1cm x 1cm pieces with a stainless steel knife, avoiding the use of iron knives to prevent metal ion contamination.
[0038] Spread the cut fish skin pieces evenly on the freeze-drying tray, with a thickness of 0.5-1cm, and place them in the freeze dryer;
[0039] Set the freeze-drying parameters: first pre-freeze at -40℃ for 2 hours, then maintain a vacuum of 10Pa and continue freeze-drying for 12-16 hours until the moisture content of the fish skin is below 5%;
[0040] The dried fish skin was transferred to the feeding chamber of the ultrafine pulverizer, and nitrogen was introduced to replace the air in the chamber three times (each time for 30 seconds, with a 1-minute interval), and pulverized under a nitrogen protective atmosphere.
[0041] During the pulverization process, the pulverizer speed is controlled at 3000 r / min and the pulverization time is 15-20 min. After screening through a 2000-mesh sieve, fish skin micro powder with a particle size of 5-10 μm is obtained and sealed and stored in a desiccator for later use. This step combines ultra-low temperature freeze drying and ultra-fine pulverization with nitrogen protection to retain the active ingredients in the raw materials to the greatest extent and avoid oxidation and deterioration.
[0042] Step 2: Preparation of compound enzymatic hydrolysate: After completing the pretreatment of raw materials and obtaining fish skin powder, the compound enzymatic hydrolysate is prepared; accurately weigh 3g of trypsin (activity unit ≥2500U / mg), 2g of papain (activity unit ≥600U / mg) and 1g of bromelain (activity unit ≥1000U / mg), place them in a sterile beaker, and gently stir and mix them evenly with a glass rod;
[0043] To prepare a phosphate buffer solution with a pH of 7.0: Weigh 0.68 g of potassium dihydrogen phosphate, dissolve it in 500 mL of deionized water, adjust the pH to 7.0 with 0.1 mol / L sodium hydroxide solution, and bring the volume to 1000 mL.
[0044] The mixed complex enzyme was slowly added to the above phosphate buffer solution while stirring with a magnetic stirrer (200 r / min) for 30 min until the enzyme was completely dissolved, resulting in a complex enzyme hydrolysate with a total enzyme concentration of 2.5%.
[0045] Transfer the enzymatic hydrolysate to a brown reagent bottle and store at 4°C for later use (storage time not exceeding 24 hours); the synergistic effect of the complex enzyme can more fully decompose proteins and increase the yield of peptides.
[0046] Step 3: Enzymatic hydrolysis reaction: Once the compound enzymatic hydrolysate is prepared, the enzymatic hydrolysis reaction can be carried out. According to the mass-to-volume ratio of fish skin powder to compound enzymatic hydrolysate of 1:15 (g / mL), slowly add fish skin powder to the compound enzymatic hydrolysate, place it in a constant temperature water bath, and turn on the magnetic stirrer (150 r / min).
[0047] When the temperature rises to 45℃, start the ultrasonic generator, set the ultrasonic power to 300W, the ultrasonic time to 5s, and the interval time to 10s, and start the enzymatic hydrolysis reaction.
[0048] During the reaction, a sample was taken every 30 minutes to measure the pH value of the reaction solution. If the pH value deviated from 7.0±0.2, it was adjusted to the set value with 0.1mol / L hydrochloric acid or sodium hydroxide solution.
[0049] The total enzymatic hydrolysis time was controlled at 3 hours, and the ultrasonic treatment was stopped 10 minutes before the end of the reaction. Ultrasonic assistance can promote the contact between enzyme and substrate and accelerate the reaction.
[0050] Step 4: Enzyme inactivation treatment: After the enzymatic hydrolysis reaction is completed, enzyme inactivation treatment is required to terminate the enzyme activity; transfer the reaction solution to a three-necked flask, place it in a constant temperature water bath at 90℃, and start stirring at 100 r / min for 15 min.
[0051] After enzyme inactivation is complete, immediately place the three-necked flask in an ice bath and rapidly cool it to room temperature (25±2℃). Stir continuously during the cooling process to ensure a uniform temperature drop. High-temperature enzyme inactivation can quickly terminate the reaction and avoid excessive enzymatic hydrolysis.
[0052] Step 5: Centrifugation: After enzyme inactivation and cooling to room temperature, centrifuge the reaction solution to remove impurities; dispense the cooled reaction solution into centrifuge tubes, each tube not exceeding 2 / 3 of the tube's volume, and place them into a high-speed centrifuge after equilibration.
[0053] Set the centrifuge parameters as follows: speed 8000 r / min, centrifugation time 20 min, temperature 25℃;
[0054] After centrifugation, carefully remove the centrifuge tube and use a pipette to transfer the supernatant into a beaker. Discard the precipitate at the bottom (the precipitate can be collected for component analysis or other purposes). Centrifugation can separate most of the impurities, resulting in a relatively pure enzymatic hydrolysate.
[0055] Step 6: Preliminary purification: After centrifugation to obtain the supernatant, perform preliminary purification; Pretreatment of macroporous adsorption resin column: Soak AB-8 type macroporous adsorption resin in 95% ethanol for 24 hours, then pack it into the chromatography column (column diameter to column height ratio 1:8), wash with 95% ethanol at a flow rate of 3 BV / h until the effluent mixed with distilled water (1:5) is not turbid, and then wash with deionized water at a flow rate of 5 BV / h until there is no ethanol smell;
[0056] Sample loading: Filter the supernatant after centrifugation through a 0.45μm microporous membrane, and then pump it into the pretreated macroporous adsorption resin column at a flow rate of 2BV / h. The sample loading volume is 1 / 3 of the column volume.
[0057] Rinsing: After sample loading, rinse the resin column with deionized water at a flow rate of 3 BV / h until the absorbance of the effluent at 280 nm is less than 0.02 (considered colorless).
[0058] Elution: Use a 30% ethanol solution (prepared with deionized water) to elute at a flow rate of 2 BV / h, and collect the eluent (starting from when the effluent has obvious absorbance at 280 nm and ending when the absorbance value is below 0.05); macroporous adsorption resin can effectively adsorb target peptides and remove some small molecule impurities.
[0059] Step 7: Ultrafiltration purification: After obtaining the eluent through preliminary purification, further ultrafiltration purification is carried out; Ultrafiltration system pretreatment: The surface of the ultrafiltration membrane with a molecular weight cutoff of 3kDa is first rinsed with deionized water, then soaked in 0.5% sodium hydroxide solution for 30 minutes, and then rinsed with deionized water until neutral;
[0060] Pour the eluent into the ultrafiltration cup, install the ultrafiltration membrane, set the operating pressure to 0.2 MPa and the temperature to 30°C, and start stirring (300 r / min) to perform ultrafiltration;
[0061] During ultrafiltration, when the volume of the concentrate is 1 / 4 of the original volume, add an equal amount of deionized water and continue ultrafiltration. Repeat the operation twice and collect the permeate.
[0062] After ultrafiltration, the ultrafiltration membrane is rinsed with deionized water and stored in 0.1% formaldehyde solution for later use. Ultrafiltration can further separate substances of different molecular weights to obtain peptide solutions with more uniform molecular weight.
[0063] Step 8: Decolorization treatment: After ultrafiltration purification, the permeate is decolorized to remove pigments and other impurities; accurately weigh activated carbon (particle size 200 mesh, specific surface area ≥1000m² / g), add it to the permeate at 1.5% of the mass of the ultrafiltration permeate, and place it on a constant temperature water bath.
[0064] Set the temperature to 50℃, turn on the stirrer (150 r / min), and time for 30 minutes to ensure that the activated carbon is fully dispersed;
[0065] After decolorization, the product is filtered using a Buchner funnel. First, it is filtered with qualitative filter paper, and then with a 0.22μm microporous membrane to remove activated carbon particles. Activated carbon can adsorb pigments and other impurities, thus improving product purity.
[0066] Step 9: Concentration and Drying: After the decolorization process, the solution is concentrated and dried to obtain a solid product; Rotary Evaporation Concentration: The decolorized solution is transferred into the evaporation flask of a rotary evaporator, and the water bath temperature is set to 60℃, the vacuum degree to 0.08MPa, and the rotation speed to 50r / min for reduced pressure concentration;
[0067] When the solution volume is concentrated to 1 / 5 of the original volume, stop the concentration and transfer the concentrated solution to a clean petri dish, with the thickness controlled at 0.3-0.5 cm.
[0068] Freeze-drying: Place the petri dish in a freeze dryer, pre-freeze at -50℃ for 3 hours, then maintain a vacuum of 5Pa and freeze-dry for 24-30 hours until constant weight;
[0069] The dried solid is taken out, ground into fine powder with an agate mortar, and passed through a 100-mesh sieve to obtain the anti-fatigue peptide product, which is then vacuum-sealed in an aluminum foil bag; concentration and drying can yield a solid product, which is convenient for storage and transportation.
[0070] Step 10: Quality Inspection: After obtaining the anti-fatigue peptide product, quality inspection is required to ensure product quality; Peptide content determination: The Coomassie Brilliant Blue method is used, with bovine serum albumin as the standard, to determine the mass fraction of peptides in the finished product;
[0071] Molecular weight distribution determination: High-performance gel permeation chromatography (GPC) was used with a TSK gel G2000SWxl column, a mobile phase of 0.1 mol / L phosphate buffer (pH 7.0), a flow rate of 0.5 mL / min, and a column temperature of 30 °C. The molecular weight distribution range was determined by comparison with standards.
[0072] Anti-fatigue activity test: The weighted swimming test of mice was used. Kunming mice were randomly divided into groups and administered different doses of anti-fatigue peptide solution by gavage. The control group was given physiological saline. After gavage for 7 consecutive days, the time to exhaustion of the mice was measured and the rate of extension of exhaustion time was calculated.
[0073] Other indicators: The moisture content (Kal Fischer method), ash content (muffle furnace ignition method), and heavy metal content (atomic absorption spectrometry) of the finished product are tested to ensure compliance with relevant quality standards; various indicators of the obtained anti-fatigue peptide products are tested, including peptide content, molecular weight distribution, and anti-fatigue activity, to ensure that the product quality meets the requirements.
