Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of chitooligosaccharide production, and specifically relates to a method for preparing chitooligosaccharide based on enzymatic hydrolysis, and also relates to chitooligosaccharide prepared by this method. Background Art

[0002] Freshwater shrimps in Jiangsu mainly include Macrobrachium nipponense (including green shrimps and river shrimps), Macrobrachium rosenbergii, and freshwater crayfish (Procambarus clarkii). The annual output is nearly 3 million tons, and the current annual processing volume is 500,000 - 800,000 tons. During the processing of shrimp meat, a large amount of by-products such as shrimp heads, shrimp shells, and substandard small-sized products and scraps are generated, accounting for about 35% - 40%, with a very large proportion. Some of these by-products have been appropriately recycled, but generally speaking, they are of low quality and low efficiency, resulting in a large waste of resources.

[0003] Chitooligosaccharide (N-acetyl chito oligosaccharides, NACOS) is a degradation product of chitin. Due to its excellent properties such as safety, biocompatibility, and biodegradability, NACOS has been widely used in fields such as medicine, food, agriculture, cosmetics, and biomaterials. Currently, relatively in-depth research has been carried out on its preparation, extraction, and activity evaluation at home and abroad. In terms of preparation, some use snail enzyme for hydrolysis (Xie Xiaolan et al., 2015), some use exochitinase produced by Aspergillus fumigatus for preparation (Wu Yuanyuan et al., 2008), and some use genetically engineered recombinant chitinase for preparation (Ohnuma Takayuki et al., 2019). The core tool for preparing chitooligosaccharide is chitinase. Although there is a rich gene resource, the actual degradation effect is poor, mainly because of the poor solubility of chitin. Hydrolysis through colloidal chitin cannot form large-scale preparation, which becomes a technical bottleneck that cannot be promoted industrially. Summary of the Invention

[0018] Further, in step (4), enzymatic hydrolysis is carried out at a pH value of 7.4 and a temperature of 40 °C for 3 h to obtain an enzymatic hydrolysis product.

[0019] Further, in step (5), the viable count of the Lactobacillus reuteri bacterial liquid is 10 7 cfu / mL.

[0020] Further, in step (5), enzymatic hydrolysis is carried out under airtight conditions at a pH value of 5.0 and a temperature of 40 °C for 0.5 h to obtain an enzymatic hydrolysis product.

[0021] Further, in step (6), spray drying is carried out under the conditions that the inlet air temperature is 140 °C and the outlet air temperature is 70 °C.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0023] In the present application, for the by-products such as small shrimps, shrimp heads, and shrimp shells with a relatively large proportion, the present invention first adopts a physical peeling method, uses a roller extrusion method to recover the surface organic matter in the shrimp shells, and preliminarily crushes chitin to make its structure loose, which is beneficial to subsequent biological fermentation; then adopts specific enzymatic hydrolysis for directional release and multi-strain co-fermentation, combines bacteria and enzymes, efficiently recovers the remaining proteins, activates the soluble chitooligosaccharides in the by-products, and does not require the use of a large amount of acids and alkalis. While improving the processing precision and resource utilization efficiency, it greatly reduces the environmental pollution during the processing process.

Through deep hydrolysis, it provides a good nutritional environment for subsequent multi-strain co-fermentation, and the combined action of bacteria and enzymes. Comparing Example 2 with Comparative Examples 2, 3, and 4, it can be seen that the present invention adopts a multi-strain fermentation process, uses Bacillus subtilis natto ND-1-A27 that can secrete a high level of extracellular protease and produce a large amount of vitamin K and has probiotic effects, and at the same time uses Bacillus mucilaginosus to increase the hydrolysis of colloidal chitin. Through the coordinated fermentation of different Bacillus strains, it promotes the proliferation of microorganisms and the generation of various biological enzymes. Utilizing the coordinated growth and enzyme-producing ability of multiple microorganisms, on the one hand, it can remove the residual biomass in the shrimp shell and ferment the remaining chitin in situ, and on the other hand, through the growth of microorganisms, it can weaken the natural structure of chitin, and through the chitinase, chitosanase, and oxidase secreted by microorganisms, it can promote the hydrolysis of the surface chitin to obtain substances such as chitooligosaccharide with high immunological activity. It can be seen from Example 2 and Comparative Example 1 that after the coordinated aerobic fermentation of Bacillus subtilis natto ND-1-A27 and Bacillus mucilaginosus in this application, anaerobic fermentation of Lactobacillus reuteri is carried out. In the anaerobic state, the previous Bacillus strains enter the spore resting state or dissolve, releasing more biological enzymes. Through the fermentation of lactic acid bacteria, the pH of the system decreases, producing organic acids to promote the dissolution of calcium, and at the same time promoting the further release of chitooligosaccharide. The fermentation of lactic acid bacteria also plays a role in correcting the taste of the system and providing various probiotic factors.
