Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of microbial technology, specifically relating to a type of *Pichia kudrica* and its applications. Background Technology
[0002] Microbial protein, as an emerging protein resource, has attracted much attention compared to traditional plant, animal, and insect proteins due to its advantages such as short production cycle, wide availability of raw materials, environmental friendliness, low production cost, and high nutritional value. Microbial protein has been widely used in food processing, feed manufacturing, pharmaceutical production, and biotechnology.
[0003] In the production of microbial cell protein, microorganisms often face a series of complex environmental stressors, such as temperature fluctuations, pH changes, and osmotic pressure differences. Simultaneously, byproducts such as lactic acid, acetic acid, and ethanol produced by microbial metabolism during the production process or fermentation can exert a stress effect on microorganisms when their concentrations reach a certain threshold, thereby interfering with their normal growth and metabolic activities. Therefore, in order for microorganisms to maintain stable growth and metabolism, the production strains must possess corresponding tolerance to adapt to these specific environmental conditions.
[0004] Kudria zwibichi yeast ( Pichia kudriavzevii As a non-brewing yeast species widely distributed in nature, *Pichia kudriezvichi* has attracted much attention in recent years due to its unique physiological characteristics and potential wide-ranging applications. However, the existing *Pichia kudriezvichi* strain has limited substrate utilization, its tolerance to multiple stress environments needs improvement, and it contains relatively low protein content. Therefore, developing a high-protein *Pichia kudriezvichi* strain that combines multi-substrate utilization and high tolerance to multiple environmental stresses is of great significance for addressing the problems faced in industrial microbial production, such as limited raw material selection, low production efficiency, high costs, and significant environmental impact.

[0198] (1) Determination of moisture content in yeast milk: The moisture content was determined according to the direct drying method of the National Food Safety Standard of the People's Republic of China GB 5009.3-2016, Determination of Moisture in Food. The moisture content in yeast milk was 78%-82%.
[0199] (2) Protein content determination:
[0200] The specific operating steps are as follows:
[0201] 1.1.1. Principle
[0202] The proteins in yeast decompose with concentrated sulfuric acid under the action of a catalyst to produce ammonia. The ammonia reacts with sulfuric acid to produce ammonium sulfate. The ammonium sulfate is heated in an alkaline solution to release ammonia, which is received by boric acid solution and then titrated with a standard sulfuric acid solution, using methyl red-bromocresol green as an indicator.
[0203] 1.1.2. Reagents and Solutions
[0204] (1) Digestive powder Se:K2SO4 = 0.1 g:100;
[0205] (2) Sulfuric acid: analytical grade;
[0206] (3) 30% sodium hydroxide solution: Weigh 30 g of analytical grade sodium hydroxide, add an appropriate amount of distilled water to dissolve, cool, dilute to 100 mL, and mix well;
[0207] (4) 3% boric acid solution: Weigh 3 g of analytical grade boric acid, add an appropriate amount of distilled water to dissolve it, dilute to 100 mL, and mix well;
[0208] (5) Methyl red-bromocresol green mixed indicator:
[0209] ① Weigh 0.1 g of bromocresol green, dissolve it in 95% ethanol, and dilute it to 100 mL with 95% ethanol;
[0210] ② Weigh 0.2 g of methyl red and dissolve it in 95% ethanol, then dilute it to 100 mL with 95% ethanol;
[0211] ③ Mix bromocresol green indicator and methyl red indicator at a volume ratio of 3:1 and shake well.
[0212] (6) Sulfuric acid standard solution: Prepared according to GB / T 601-2016;
[0213] 1.1.3. Operating Procedures
[0214] Pour a small amount of well-mixed yeast milk into a 100mL dry beaker. Accurately weigh 1.5g of yeast milk (to the nearest 0.0002g) into a digestion tube using the subtraction method. Add 2.5g of digestion powder. Slowly add 10-12mL of concentrated sulfuric acid along the tube wall. Place a small funnel at the opening of the digestion tube and then place it on a digestion apparatus. Digest for about 3 hours until there is no smoke, the solution becomes clear, and it turns pale yellow. Continue heating for 10 minutes.
[0215] Remove the digestion tube, let it cool, rinse the tube wall with about 30 mL of distilled water, cool it again, and then transfer the digestion solution to a 100 mL volumetric flask through a small funnel. Rinse the digestion tube and funnel three times with a small amount of water, pour all of the solution into the volumetric flask, add water to make up to the mark, shake well, and the digestion solution is ready for use.
[0216] Accurately pipette 25 mL of digestive fluid into a digestion tube and place it on a distillation apparatus.
[0217] Take 25 mL of boric acid solution into an Erlenmeyer flask, add 4-6 drops of methyl red-bromocresol green mixed indicator, and place it at the outlet of the distillate as the receiving solution.
[0218] Add 25 mL of sodium hydroxide solution to the digestion tube, turn on the switch, and start distillation. Stop distilling when the receiving liquid is about 200-250 mL. The distillation time is about 6-8 minutes. Use pH test paper to check whether the last distillate is neutral to determine whether the distillation can be stopped. If it is neutral, it means that the nitrogen has been distilled.
[0219] Titrate the receiving solution with a 0.05 mol / L sulfuric acid standard solution until the color changes from green to slightly red, indicating the endpoint.
[0220] Perform a blank test simultaneously using the same method.
[0221] 1.1.5. Result Calculation
[0222] The protein content in the sample is calculated using the following formula:
[0223]
