After sealing the bag, it is placed at room temperature for 20 minutes. Then the dough is washed with 2% sodium chloride solution to obtain gluten. The gluten is precisely weighed and divided into 6 parts, denoted as groups A-F. Ultrpure water is added to the gluten in groups A-F to obtain a mixture with a concentration of 0.1g / ml; Protease is added to the mixture in groups A-D to obtain a reaction with an enzyme concentration of 500U / ml, and then heated enzyme hydrolysis is carried out for 2.5h to obtain the enzyme hydrolysis product. The enzyme hydrolysis product is treated by centrifugation and ultrafiltration to obtain the filtrate; The mixtures in groups E and F are placed in a specific temperature condition for 2.5h of standing reaction to obtain the reaction product. The reaction product is treated by centrifugation and ultrafiltration to obtain the filtrate; Based on the preparation conditions of groups A-D, the raw materials therein are replaced with common wheat, and one-to-one corresponding control groups a-f are set. The settings of each group are shown in Table 1.

Efficacy detection To further study the efficacy of black wheat extract, the prepared black wheat extract and common wheat extract are taken as the measured objects, and the polypeptide content, antioxidant efficacy, melanin inhibition efficacy, barrier repair efficacy and anti-inflammatory efficacy are detected.

[0023] 2.1. Polypeptide content detection The protein polypeptide concentration in the triticale extract of group A-F and the common wheat extract of group a-f was quantitatively detected using a BCA kit (brand: Thermo, item number: 23227), a standard curve of the protein polypeptide concentration of the standard sample was drawn, and the protein polypeptide concentration of the measured substance was calculated; The results are shown in Table 2. As can be seen from Table 2: (1) Under the same preparation method, the polypeptide content in the triticale extract is higher than that in the common wheat extract; (2) In the process of preparing the triticale extract, the use of protease for enzymatic treatment can effectively improve the polypeptide content in the triticale extract obtained, and the effect of neutral protease is the most significant.

[0024] Table 2 Polypeptide content detection results of each group ; 2.2, antioxidant performance detection 2.2.1, DPPH free radical scavenging rate determination DPPH ethanol solution is purple red, and has a maximum absorption wavelength at 519 nm. When a free radical scavenger is added, DPPH free radicals are scavenged, the solution gradually becomes lighter, and the absorbance at 519 nm decreases accordingly. The lighter the solution color, the lower the absorbance value, and the better the effect of the free radical scavenger on scavenging DPPH free radicals.

[0025] The specific method is: using sample solvent to dilute the measured substance into sample solutions of multiple concentrations; using a 96-well plate, setting up experimental holes (T), experimental control holes (T0), DPPH model holes (C) and model control holes (C0), and for each test concentration of each sample, 3 parallel holes are set up for the experimental holes (T), and 3 parallel holes are also set up for the DPPH model holes (C); In the experimental holes (T) and the experimental control holes (T0), 100 μl of sample solution was added, and in the DPPH model holes (C) and the model control holes (C0), 100 μl of ultrapure water was added, respectively. In the experimental holes (T) and the DPPH model holes (C), 100 μl of DPPH working solution (0.5 mmol / L) was added, and in the experimental control holes (T0) and the model control holes (C0), 100 μl of anhydrous ethanol was added instead; After the 96-well plate was placed at room temperature for 30 min in the dark, the absorbance was measured at 519 nm, and the DPPH free radical scavenging rate of each group of measured sample was calculated according to the absorbance value, and the formula is as follows: ; In the formula: Amod-DPPH model hole absorbance; Amod-DPPH model control hole absorbance; A sample-experimental hole absorbance; A sample-experimental control hole absorbance.

ABTS+ has a maximum absorption at 734 nm, and the absorbance is determined, and the magnitude of the absorbance value can quantitatively determine the radical scavenging capacity of the reactant. That is, the lower the absorbance value, the stronger the ability of the substance with antioxidant properties to scavenge ABTS radicals.

[0027] The specific method is: dilute the measured substance with a sample solvent to obtain sample solutions of multiple concentrations; use a 96-well plate to set up experimental wells (T), experimental control wells (T0), ABTS model wells (C), and model control wells (C0). For each test concentration of each sample, 3 parallel wells of experimental wells (T) are set up, and 3 parallel wells of ABTS model wells (C) are also set up. In experimental wells (T) and experimental control wells (T0), 50 μl of sample solution of the same concentration is added, and 50 μl of ultrapure water is added to ABTS model wells (C) and model control wells (C0), respectively; 150 μl of ABTS working solution (7.4 mmol / L ABTS solution and 2.6 mmol / L K2S2O8 solution mixed at a ratio of 1:1, placed for 12 h, and then diluted 20 times) is added to experimental wells (T) and ABTS model wells (C), and 150 μl of ultrapure water is added to experimental control wells (T0) and model control wells (C0) instead; after 6 min at room temperature, the absorbance is measured at 734 nm, and finally the ABTS radical scavenging rate of the measured substance at different concentrations is calculated according to the absorbance value, and the formula is as follows: ; In the formula: Amod-ABTS model well absorbance; Amod-ABTS model control well absorbance; A sample- experimental well absorbance; A sample- experimental control well absorbance.

[0042] Table 6 PCR detection results of each group ; 2.5, Anti-inflammatory efficacy detection RAW264.7 cells are one of the most commonly used in vitro models for inflammation research. Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) is a unique component of the cell wall of gram-negative bacteria, and LPS can cause a cascade of immune stimulation and toxic pathophysiological activities in the body. When bacteria invade the human body, they release LPS on their surface. LPS first binds to lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP), which transports LPS to the membrane surface of immune cells and binds to the membrane protein CD14. Subsequently, CD14 transports LPS to the protein complex of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and myeloid differentiation protein 2 (MD2), activates the expression of downstream cytokines, and induces immune inflammatory response. LPS pre-stimulation can significantly increase the secretion level of cell pro-inflammatory mediator NO, and the detection of NO in the culture medium can reflect the effect of the test substance on inflammation. The specific detection method is as follows: (1) Cell recovery and culture Take the frozen mouse monocyte macrophage leukemia cells RAW264.7 cells from the liquid nitrogen, quickly put them into a 37°C water bath for thawing, then transfer them to a centrifuge tube containing preheated culture medium, centrifuge and discard the supernatant, resuspend the cells with fresh culture medium and inoculate into a culture dish, and place it in a culture incubator for culture until the cells grow to the logarithmic phase.

[0044] (3) Test substance intervention The control group (only adding culture medium, not adding test substance), model group (cell culture solution containing 10 μg / ml of LPS), positive control group (cell culture solution containing 10 μg / ml of LPS and 100 μg / ml of dexamethasone), and test substance group (cell culture solution containing 10 μg / ml of LPS and different concentrations of test substance) are set. After the cells are adhered and stabilized, the original culture medium is removed, and the above culture solutions are added according to the experimental grouping, and the cells are cultured for 24 h. Multiple replicates are set in each group to ensure the reliability of the results.

[0045] (4) NO content detection The cell culture plate is removed, and 100 μl of culture solution is taken to a 96-well plate for 3 replicates and a control well. 50 μl of 1% sulfanilamide solution (dissolved in 5% phosphoric acid) and 50 μl of 0.1% naphthyl ethylenediamine dihydrochloride solution are added to each well, and mixed well. The control well is added with 100 μl of ultrapure water. Place at room temperature for 10 min, and measure the absorbance at 550 nm. Calculate the NO inhibition rate of each group relative to the cell model group.

[0046] NO inhibition rate = × 100%; The detection results are shown in Table 1: Figure 3 Compared with the model control group, at an experimental concentration of 20% (V / V), all ordinary wheat extracts and black wheat extracts except the ordinary wheat extract treated with neutral protease have the effect of inhibiting NO secretion; at an experimental concentration of 10%, all ordinary wheat extracts and black wheat extracts have the effect of inhibiting NO secretion, and the effect of black wheat extract is significantly better.

[0047] 3. Application of black wheat extract in skin care products 3.1. Preparation materials (1) T group (serum experimental group) The 5% black wheat extract serum contains 5% black wheat extract, 2% nicotinamide, 1% hyaluronic acid (1% aqueous solution), 5% glycerol, 2% pentylene glycol, 0.1% xanthan gum, 0.6% phenoxyethanol, 0.2% ethylhexylglycerin, appropriate amount of triethanolamine (for adjusting pH to 5.5-6.0) and deionized water (the balance to 100%) The specific preparation method is as follows: ① Preparation stage: all containers and equipment are cleaned and sterilized, and ready for use. Accurately weigh each raw material component with an electronic balance.

[0048] ② Aqueous phase preparation: Add approximately 80% of the total formula volume of deionized water to main beaker A, and heat to 75-80℃ in a water bath. Slowly sprinkle in xanthan gum while rapidly stirring with a glass rod or homogenizer to ensure thorough dispersion and dissolution, preventing clumping. Continue stirring for approximately 15-20 minutes until a homogeneous, transparent colloidal solution is formed. Stop heating, add glycerol and pentylene glycol, and stir until completely dissolved and homogeneous.

[0049] ③ Dissolve the active ingredient: Remove beaker A from the water bath and cool to 40-45℃ (slightly warm to the touch). Add nicotinamide and stir until completely dissolved. Add black wheat extract and stir until completely dissolved and homogeneous.

[0050] ④ Dissolving hyaluronic acid: In another small beaker B, pre-disperse and swell the hyaluronic acid with a small amount of room temperature deionized water (or directly use a pre-prepared 1% hyaluronic acid solution) to form a gel. Add the hyaluronic acid gel to the main beaker A and stir thoroughly to mix evenly.

[0051] ⑤ Cooling and pH Adjustment: Continuously stir to cool the solution to room temperature (25-30℃). Add the preservatives phenoxyethanol and ethylhexylglycerin, stirring until completely dissolved. Slowly adjust the pH of the solution with triethanolamine (pre-diluted to a 10% aqueous solution), with a final target of 5.5-6.0. Stir thoroughly and measure the pH after each drop is added to avoid over-adjustment.

[0052] ⑥ Volume Adjustment and Filling: Rinse the container that held the raw materials with the remaining deionized water, and add the washings to the main beaker. Finally, add the remaining volume to 100%, and stir thoroughly for 15-20 minutes to ensure the system is completely homogeneous. After standing to remove foam, it can be filled to obtain the final essence product.

[0053] (2) Group C (Serum Control Group) The 5% black wheat extract-free essence, by weight percentage, comprises 2% niacinamide, 1% hyaluronic acid (1% aqueous solution), 5% glycerin, 2% pentylene glycol, 0.1% xanthan gum, 0.6% phenoxyethanol, 0.2% ethylhexylglycerin, appropriate amount of triethanolamine (for adjusting pH to 5.5-6.0) and deionized water (balance to 100%). The preparation method is similar to that of Group T, except that the step of adding black wheat extract is omitted.

[0056] 3.3 Conduct comparative experiments (1) Experimental setup An open-label test was conducted over four weeks. Instrumental testing was used to evaluate changes in skin ITA, elasticity, transepidermal moisture loss, and redness in subjects after 0, 2, and 4 weeks of product use. The test was used to verify the efficacy of the sample in anti-oxidation, whitening, barrier repair, and anti-inflammation. The test instruments and test items are arranged as shown in Table 7.

[0057] Table 7 Test Instruments and Items ; (2) Testing process ① First visit, test explanation to the subject, and signing of the informed consent form.

[0058] ② Test day, clean face and wait: the subject cleans the face and dries the skin with a dry paper towel, and sits for 30 minutes in a laboratory with a temperature of 21℃±1℃ and a humidity of 50%±10% (RH); ③ Test: the laboratory technician performs image acquisition of the subject's face using ANTERA 3D, and tests the subject's skin for transepidermal water loss (TEWL) value, skin elasticity R2 value, and skin elasticity R7 value; ④ After the test is completed, the subject is given instructions for use, and after the subject listens to the instructions, the product is issued, and the subject uses the test sample at home for 4 consecutive weeks, during which the subject visits the designated place after 2 and 4 weeks of continuous use of the product, and performs the facial test according to steps 2) and 3). The amount of product used is confirmed at the beginning and end of the test; During the entire test process, the test environment conditions are set as follows: temperature 21℃±1℃, humidity 50%±10% (RH).

[0059] (3) Test results and data analysis The test results and data analysis are shown in Figure 4 , 5 and Table 8. As can be seen from the chart: In group C, after 4 weeks of use of the serum without black wheat extract by the subjects (33 people), the test results showed that the skin ITA was improved by 1.22%, the stratum corneum transepidermal water loss was improved by 21.37%, the redness was improved by 20.21%, the elasticity R2 was improved by 29.06%, and the elasticity R7 was improved by 14.25%; In group T, after 4 weeks of use of the serum containing black wheat extract by the subjects (33 people), the test results showed that the skin ITA was improved by 6.81%, the stratum corneum transepidermal water loss was improved by 37.19%, the redness was improved by 27.37%, the elasticity R2 was improved by 34.19%, and the elasticity R7 was improved by 36.64%; The above results show that, compared with week 0, the ITA, elasticity, transepidermal water loss, and redness of the skin of the subjects in group C were improved, indicating that the serum without black wheat extract has the effects of antioxidant, whitening, barrier repair, and anti-inflammatory. However, the serum containing black wheat extract in group T has a significantly better effect on improving the ITA, elasticity, transepidermal water loss, and redness of the skin of the subjects, indicating that black wheat extract has the effects of antioxidant, whitening, barrier repair, and anti-inflammatory, and the serum containing black wheat extract has a better effect on improving the skin of the users.
