Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of food fermentation, and in particular relates to edible fungus fermented black beans based on co-fermentation of Mucor and Aspergillus and a koji making process thereof. Background Art

[0002] Douchi is one of the four traditional fermented soybean products in my country. It has many health functions such as anti-oxidation, thrombolysis, and blood pressure reduction. Generally, it can be divided into three types according to the different microorganisms involved in the fermentation: Aspergillus type, Mucor type, and bacterial type. Among them, Mucor type Douchi and Aspergillus type Douchi are unique traditional condiments in Sichuan and Chongqing and Hunan respectively. The koji making of Douchi is a key stage that determines the quality and function of Douchi. In this process, the enzyme system produced by Mucor / Aspergillus plays an important role in the accumulation of nutrients and the conversion of components. For example, protease can decompose the protein in soybeans into peptones, peptides, and free amino acids, which is more conducive to human absorption; β-glucosidase can convert glycoside-type soybean isoflavones in soybeans into aglycone-type soybean isoflavones with higher functional activity, so that Douchi has better health functions than soybeans.

[0003] The Chinese patent application with publication number CN 110169539 A discloses a method for preparing soybean and black bean mixed fermented black beans. The method uses soybean and black bean mixed in a certain proportion as raw materials, soaks and cooks, first inoculates Mucor for fermentation, then adds salt (salt content 10% to 13%) and other auxiliary materials to inoculate Aspergillus oryzae for continued fermentation, and prepares soybean and black bean mixed fermented black beans. The fermented black beans prepared by this method have better appearance and flavor than traditional soybean fermented black beans, and are more popular with people. However, on the one hand, this method has the disadvantages of complex operation and long fermentation time (up to 6 months or more); on the other hand, the addition of high salt will also inhibit the growth of Aspergillus oryzae, reduce the activity of β-glucosidase, hinder the biotransformation of soybean isoflavones, reduce the nutritional and health value of fermented black beans, and also increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, which is not conducive to human health. Therefore, a method for making koji with simpler operation and shorter fermentation time is needed to develop fermented black beans with better nutrient content, biological activity and health effects.

[0004] Edible fungi are a kind of edible large fungi with high protein, low fat, rich in polysaccharides, flavonoids, active peptides, nucleosides and other active substances. They have multiple health functions such as anti-cancer, anti-diabetes, and anti-obesity. According to statistics, in 2018, the total output of edible fungi in China reached 40 million tons, with a total output value of 274.178 billion yuan, accounting for more than 75% of the world's total output, while the output of edible fungi in Sichuan Province reached 2.2 million tons, with an output value of 12.6 billion yuan, ranking seventh in the country. At present, 80% of edible fungi in Sichuan Province are mainly used for fresh sales, and 20% are used for deep processing. In the above sales and processing processes, a large amount of edible fungi waste will be generated, including mushroom feet, mushroom slices, mushroom stems, deformed mushrooms, and fungi entity residues after functional component extraction, accounting for about 30% of the total output. Because the appearance and flavor of the waste are relatively poor and difficult to be accepted by consumers, they are often directly thrown away as animal feed or waste, which not only causes serious waste of edible fungi resources, but also brings certain environmental pollution problems.

[0005] So far, there are few research reports on the preparation method of edible fungus fermented black beans. Among them, the Chinese patent application with publication number CN103053952A discloses a process for producing fermented black beans by edible fungus fermentation method, in which edible fungus is used as the only strain to ferment soybeans to make fermented black beans, and the process flow is: soybean washing, soaking → bottling → sterilization → cooling → inoculation → spawning culture → making finished products. Because edible fungi are rich in amino acids, the fermented products taste delicious. However, on the one hand, in this process, soybeans are mainly used as the fermentation nutrient matrix of edible fungi to provide nutrition for edible fungi mycelium, while ignoring the important nutritional active ingredient of soybeans itself-the biotransformation of soybean isoflavones, so that the obtained fermented black beans have low amino acid nitrogen content, insufficient fermented black bean flavor, and low antioxidant activity, which is very different from traditional fermented black beans; on the other hand, this process can only use fresh and complete edible fungi as strains, and cannot effectively use edible fungi waste such as mushroom feet, mushroom slices, mushroom stems, deformed mushrooms and fungi entity residues after functional component extraction, resulting in resource waste.

[0006] In summary, in order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, it is urgent to develop a koji making method with simpler operation, shorter fermentation time and more resource-saving to prepare fermented black beans with better nutrient content, biological activity and health benefits.

[0019] And / or, the edible fungi are one or both of Pleurotus eryngii and Pleurotus ostreatus.

[0020] The invention also provides a koji making process for the edible fungus fermented black beans, which comprises the following steps: soaking beans in water, draining, uniformly mixing with edible fungi or their wastes, high pressure steaming, cooling, inoculating mixed fungus spore liquid, and fermenting to obtain the edible fungus fermented black beans.

[0021] Furthermore, the mass volume ratio of the beans to water is 1:(2-5) g / mL, preferably 1:3 g / mL, the soaking temperature is 24-45° C., preferably 35° C., and the soaking time is 2-5 h, preferably 4 h.

[0055]

[0056] As can be seen from Table 1, compared with Comparative Examples 1-4, the protease activity, β-glucosidase activity, amino acid nitrogen content, soy isoflavone content and antioxidant activity of the edible fungus Douchiqu prepared by co-fermentation of Aspergillus oryzae and Mucor racemosus prepared in Example 1 of the present invention are significantly improved. Specifically, compared with the fermented bean curd with Mucor racemosus edible fungus of comparative example 1, the fermented bean curd with Aspergillus oryzae edible fungus of comparative example 2, and the fermented bean curd without adding edible fungi of comparative example 3, the protease activity of the mixed bacteria fermented edible fungus fermented bean curd in Example 1 of the present invention was respectively increased by 641.81%, 213.30% and 34.92%, the β-glucosidase activity was respectively increased by 48.69%, 335.52% and 121.43%, the amino acid nitrogen content was respectively increased by 400.00%, 50.94% and 220.00%, the soy isoflavone content was respectively increased by 56.97%, 63.38% and 50.75%, and the DPPH scavenging ability was respectively increased by 193.51%, 25.70% and 13.02%.

[0059] The beneficial effects of the present invention are described below through test examples.

[0060] Experimental Example 1: Optimization of fermentation process of edible fungi and fermented black beans and koji and analysis of antioxidant activity

[0061] 1. Single factor experiment on preparation technology of fermented black bean curd

[0062] Select soybeans that are free of mold and have full grains, and wash them with clean water. Then add distilled water at a ratio of 1:3 (m:V) between soybeans and water, and soak at a constant temperature of 35°C for 4 hours (more than 90% of the beans are wrinkle-free). Drain the soaked soybeans and mix them with a certain amount of edible fungus waste powder, and steam them in a 0.1MPa high-pressure sterilizer at 121°C for 30 minutes. When cooled to room temperature, transfer the mixture to a sterile culture dish in an ultra-clean workbench in 20g portions, and quickly inoculate a certain amount of mixed spore liquid of Aspergillus oryzae 41736 and Mucor racemosus (concentration: 1×10 7CFU / mL), and finally fermented at a constant temperature (28°C) in an incubator with a relative humidity of 80% for a certain period of time to obtain fermented black bean curd.

[0063] According to the above preparation method, the effects of the following four factors on the neutral protease activity and β-glucosidase activity of Douchiqu were studied respectively. The preparation method of Douchiqu is as follows, and each treatment is repeated 3 times:

[0064] (1) The fermented bean curd making process of Example 1 was followed, except that the inoculation amount of the mixed spore solution was replaced with 2%, 4%, 6%, 8%, 10% or 12% (mL / g).

[0065] (2) Referring to the fermented black bean koji making process of Example 1, the only difference is that the quantitative ratio of Aspergillus oryzae to Mucor racemosus in the mixed spore liquid is modified to 6:1, 4:1, 2:1, 1:1, 1:2, 1:4 or 1:6 (v / v).

[0066] (3) Referring to the fermented black bean koji making process of Example 1, the only difference is that the amount of edible fungus waste dry powder added is modified to 0, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30% or 35% (g / g) of the mass of soybeans;

[0067] (4) Referring to the koji making process of fermented black beans in Example 1, the only difference is that the fermentation time is modified to 24h, 36h, 48h, 54h, 68h, 72h or 96h.

[0068] The neutral protease activity of the obtained fermented black bean curd samples was determined according to the SB / T 23527-2009 method, the β-glucosidase activity was determined by the p-nitrophenol colorimetric method, the amino acid nitrogen content was determined by the formaldehyde titration method, the aglycone-type soy isoflavone content was determined by HPLC, and the antioxidant activity was determined by the FRAP method. The TEAC value was expressed as μmol Trolox / g DW, and the FRAP value was expressed as μmol Fe2+ / DW.

[0069] The results are as follows Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown. It can be seen that at an inoculum concentration of 6% ( Figure 1 As shown), the ratio of Aspergillus oryzae to Mucor racemosus is 1:1 (as shown Figure 2 As shown), the amount of edible fungus dry powder added is 20% (as shown Figure 3 As shown), the fermentation time is 60h (as shown Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the neutral protease activity and β-glucosidase activity of edible fungus Douchiqu were the highest overall.

[0070] 2. Response surface optimization experiment

[0071] According to the above single factor test results, the ratio of Aspergillus oryzae to Mucor racemosus was kept at 1:1, and the three factors of inoculation amount (X1), edible fungus powder addition amount (X2) and fermentation time (X3) that had a significant impact on the neutral protease activity and β-glucosidase activity of edible fungi Douchiqu were selected as independent variables. The neutral protease activity and β-glucosidase activity of edible fungi Douchiqu were used as evaluation indicators (Y). The central composite design method was used to design a three-factor three-level analysis test. The experimental design factors and levels are shown in Table 2, and the experimental design scheme and results are shown in Table 3.

[0072] Table 2. Factor levels and codes of Box-Benhnken design experiment for pre-fermentation conditions of edible fungi and fermented black beans

[0073]

[0074] Table 3. Response surface design and results of edible fungus fermentation conditions

[0075]

[0076]

[0077] The software Design-Expert 7.0 was used to perform quadratic polynomial regression fitting on the experimental data in Table 3, and a quadratic multivariate regression equation was established:

[0078] Y1=791.65-7.47A+12.28B+26.43C-1.79AB-6.39AC-9.90BC-39.37A 2 -12.62B 2 -78.73C 2 ;

[0079] Y2=1160.73+7.63A+6.59B+121.51C+28.05AB-0.8662AC-16.31BC-56.46A 2 -82.57B 2 -192.71C 2 .

[0080] The response surface model analysis predicted that the optimal conditions for mixed edible fungus fermentation of fermented black beans were as follows: inoculation amount 5.908%, edible fungus powder addition amount 20.65%, koji making time 62.753 h, predicted protease activity value 794.997 U / g, and predicted β-glucosidase activity value 1176.816 U / g.

[0081] 3. Verification of mixed fermentation process of edible fungi, fermented black beans and koji

[0082] According to the above process investigation results, combined with actual production, the optimal fermentation process was determined to be a mixed spore solution with a ratio of 1:1 between Aspergillus oryzae and Mucor racemosus, an inoculation amount of 6%, an edible fungus powder addition amount of 21%, and a fermentation time of 63h. According to the above process, 6 batches of edible fungus Douchi Koji were prepared for verification experiments, and the measured values ​​of protease activity and β-glucosidase activity were 792.03±9.76U / g and 1162.00±35.95U / g, which were close to the predicted values ​​of 794.997U / g and 1176.816U / g.

[0083] The above experimental results show that in the koji making process of the mixed fermented edible fungus fermented black beans of the present invention, when a mixed fungus spore liquid with a ratio of Aspergillus oryzae to Mucor racemosus of 1:1 is used, the inoculation amount is 6%, the edible fungus powder addition amount is 21%, and the fermentation time is 63h, the protease activity and β-glucosidase activity of the obtained edible fungus fermented black beans koji are significantly improved.

[0084] In summary, the present invention provides an edible fungus fermented black beans based on co-fermentation of Mucor and Aspergillus and a koji making process thereof. The protease activity, β-glucosidase activity, amino acid nitrogen content, soybean isoflavone content and antioxidant activity of the edible fungus fermented black beans provided by the present invention are significantly improved, and the edible fungus fermented black beans provided by the present invention have excellent nutrient content, biological activity and health care effects. The koji making process of the present invention is simple to operate, low in cost, short in fermentation time, and has broad application prospects.
