Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of polypeptide extraction technology, and particularly relates to a method for extracting oat polypeptides. Background Technology

[0002] Oats, a recognized all-around grain, boast nutritional value far exceeding that of traditional staple foods. Not only is it rich in soluble dietary fiber beta-glucan, but it is also renowned for its superior protein quality, with a protein content as high as 12%-20%, significantly better than wheat and rice. More importantly, oat protein has a balanced amino acid profile, especially rich in lysine, making it a high-quality plant protein source with immense development potential.

[0003] Plant peptides, small molecular fragments generated from proteins through enzymatic hydrolysis or fermentation, have become a research frontier in the fields of functional foods and biomedicine. Compared to intact proteins, these small peptide fragments are more easily absorbed by the human body and exhibit diverse and significant physiological regulatory activities. Oat peptides, obtained through targeted enzymatic hydrolysis of oat protein, are an important type of plant peptide. Studies have confirmed that oat peptides possess multiple biological benefits: their antioxidant activity helps scavenge free radicals and delay aging; their angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitory activity has a positive effect on blood pressure regulation; simultaneously, they also show good potential in immune regulation, anti-inflammation, and improving lipid metabolism. This gives oat peptides a broad market prospect in the development of specific health functional foods, dietary supplements, and even lead drug ingredients.

[0004] However, efficiently and with high purity, obtaining target active peptides from complex oat hydrolysates remains a technological bottleneck for industrialization. Existing separation techniques, such as membrane separation, have limited selectivity, while precision methods like high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) are costly and susceptible to contamination if used to directly process crude extracts. Therefore, developing an integrated purification strategy that allows for both enrichment and purification is crucial. In recent years, novel adsorption materials such as graphene have attracted attention due to their enormous specific surface area; however, how to specifically modify them to selectively adsorb peptides remains a pressing technical problem. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the technical problems of limited separation selectivity, high cost, and insufficient specificity of graphene materials for peptide adsorption in the existing technologies, the present invention aims to provide a highly efficient, highly selective, and cost-effective method for extracting oat peptides. This method utilizes a specific adsorption material homologous to the raw material for pretreatment, combined with high-performance chromatographic purification, to achieve rapid enrichment and purification of target active peptides from complex enzymatic hydrolysates.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the following technical solution is adopted: This invention provides a method for extracting oat polypeptides, comprising the following steps:

[0007] S1. Mix oat protein raw materials with water, adjust the pH value, add protease to carry out enzymatic hydrolysis reaction, and inactivate the enzyme after the reaction is completed to obtain crude oat polypeptide extract;

[0008] S2. The crude extract of oat peptides obtained in step S1 is mixed with modified graphene material, and the mixture is subjected to oscillation and adsorption. Then, solid-liquid separation is performed to obtain modified graphene loaded with peptides.

[0010] S4. Load the preliminarily enriched polypeptide solution obtained in step S3 onto a reversed-phase C18 column, and elute using a gradient elution program of aqueous and organic phases, collecting the elution fraction rich in the target polypeptide.

Mix the biomass powder obtained in step P1 with concentrated sulfuric acid at a mass-to-volume ratio of 1g:(5-15)mL, and carry out a hydrothermal reaction at 180-220℃ for 6-12h under nitrogen protection. After the reaction is completed, cool the product, dilute it with deionized water, filter it, and then purify it by dialysis or ultrafiltration to obtain an aqueous solution of carbon dots with sulfonic acid groups on the surface, and then concentrate it.

[0016] P3. Disperse graphene oxide in water to prepare a dispersion of 0.5-2.0 mg / mL;

[0017] P4. Mix the sulfonic acid carbon dot solution obtained in step P2 with the graphene oxide dispersion obtained in step P3 at a carbon dot to graphene oxide mass ratio of 1:(2-5). Under acidic conditions of pH=3-5, stir at 40-60℃ for 2-4 hours. Then transfer the mixture to a hydrothermal reactor and react at 120-160℃ for 4-8 hours.

[0018] P5. After the reaction is complete, the product is naturally cooled, collected by centrifugation, and washed with ethanol and deionized water until neutral. Finally, the obtained solid is vacuum dried at 60-80℃ and ground to obtain the modified graphene.

[0019] Further, in step S2, the amount of modified graphene added is 0.1%-1.0% of the mass of the crude oat polypeptide extract; the conditions for oscillation adsorption are: temperature 20-40℃, rotation speed 100-200rpm, and adsorption time 30-90min.

[0020] Further, in step S3, the desorption solvent is an acidic aqueous solution with a pH of 2.0-4.0, or an ethanol aqueous solution with a volume concentration of 50%-80%, or an alcohol-water solution containing 0.1%-1.0% ammonia; the desorption method is ultrasonic-assisted desorption or static extraction, and the desorption time is 10-30 min.

[0022] Further, in step S4, the gradient elution program is as follows: using a 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid aqueous solution as mobile phase A, and a 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid acetonitrile solution as mobile phase B; the elution gradient is as follows: 0-10 min, phase B linearly increases from 5% to 25%; 10-25 min, phase B linearly increases from 25% to 45%; 25-30 min, phase B is maintained at 45% for rinsing; 30-35 min, phase B rapidly decreases from 45% to 5% for column equilibration; the flow rate is 1-5 mL / min, and the detection wavelength is 214 nm.

[0023] Furthermore, in step S5, the concentration is carried out using a rotary evaporator at a temperature not exceeding 50°C; the drying is carried out by vacuum freeze drying or spray drying.

[0024] Furthermore, in step P2, the hydrothermal reaction is carried out in a high-pressure reactor with a polytetrafluoroethylene liner; the purification is performed using a dialysis bag with a molecular weight cutoff of 500-1000 Da.

[0025] Furthermore, in step P4, the acidic condition is achieved by adding citrate-sodium citrate buffer or acetic acid-sodium acetate buffer.

[0026] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention utilizes sulfonic acid-modified graphene prepared from oat processing byproducts as an adsorbent, combined with reversed-phase C18 chromatography, to construct a highly efficient and selective oat peptide extraction and purification process. Firstly, by leveraging the large specific surface area and abundant sulfonic acid groups on the surface of the modified graphene, peptides can be efficiently and efficiently enriched from complex enzymatic hydrolysates through strong electrostatic interactions, significantly removing impurities and solving the problems of load and interference in subsequent chromatographic separation. Secondly, this process uses oat byproducts to prepare the modified material, which not only achieves resource recycling and cost reduction but may also enhance the specific adsorption of oat peptides due to homology. The entire process of this invention is characterized by mild conditions and recyclable solvents, demonstrating green economic efficiency. Finally, through fine gradient separation and mild post-processing using reversed-phase C18 chromatography, high-purity and highly active target oat peptide products can be obtained, providing a reliable technical solution for the development of functional peptide products.
