Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of brewing microorganisms and brewing technology, specifically relating to an immobilized compound hexanoic acid bacteria, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Hexanoic acid bacteria refer to a class of microorganisms that can produce hexanoic acid when cultured, and are important functional bacteria in cellar mud. The characteristic aroma compound of strong-aroma baijiu is ethyl hexanoate, mainly produced by the esterification reaction between hexanoic acid produced by hexanoic acid bacteria in the cellar mud and ethanol produced by yeast metabolism. The content and hexanoic acid production capacity of hexanoic acid bacteria in the cellar mud determine the quality of the cellar mud and thus affect the quality of strong-aroma baijiu. Applying hexanoic acid bacteria solution for cellar maintenance or artificially cultivating cellar mud can replenish the cellar mud with highly active hexanoic acid bacteria, improve the biological activity of the cellar mud, and further enhance the quality of baijiu.

[0003] Traditional liquid culture of caproic acid bacteria has a long cultivation cycle, requiring 5-6 days to enter the acid-producing phase, which lasts approximately 3-4 days. Furthermore, the reaction time is short and production costs are high. Immobilized microbial culture technology, which emerged in the 1980s, offers advantages such as rapid cultivation, short cycle, low cost, simple process, and reusability, and has been widely adopted by many factories for producing caproic acid bacteria solutions.

[0004] Currently, most methods for immobilizing caproic acid bacteria use substances such as agar, polyvinyl alcohol, and sodium alginate as immobilization materials, and the immobilized caproic acid bacteria are mostly seed liquid from pit mud or pure caproic acid bacteria. For example, Xie Guopai et al. ("Research on Agar-Immobilized Cellar Mud Hexanoic Acid Bacteria Cultivation Technology", Brewing, December 2016) disclosed a method for producing hexanoic acid using agar-immobilized Clostridium kleinemannii; Zhong Guohui et al. ("Research Report on New Materials of Immobilized Hexanoic Acid Bacteria", Brewing, March 2009) disclosed a method for preparing immobilized hexanoic acid bacteria using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) encapsulation and activated carbon adsorption, with the immobilized strain being Clostridium kleinemannii; Patent CN1033644 (A New Method for the Preparation of Immobilized Hexanoic Acid Bacteria and Its Application in the Brewing of Strong-Aroma Baijiu) disclosed a method for immobilizing hexanoic acid bacteria using SiO2, Al2O3, and Fe2O3 as carriers; Zhang Jie ("Application of Hexanoic Acid Bacteria Cell Immobilization Technology in the Production of Strong-Aroma Baijiu", Brewing, January 1999) disclosed a method for preparing immobilized hexanoic acid bacteria using sodium alginate as a carrier. However, the microbial community structure of immobilized pit mud seed liquid is unclear and easily affected by environmental factors, leading to imbalances in the microbial community structure. Furthermore, the inconsistent microbial communities contained in different batches of pit mud result in varying effects between different batches of immobilized pit mud seed liquid. The hexanoic acid production capacity of immobilized pure-culture hexanoic acid bacteria is also easily affected by environmental factors during its application in pits. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings and deficiencies of the existing technology and to provide a method for preparing and applying immobilized composite solid hexanoic acid bacteria.

[0015] Furthermore, in step (1), the hexanoic acid bacterium is the fast-growing Clostridium JSJ-1CCTCC M 2020881.

[0016] Further, in step (1), the composition of the sodium ethanolacetate (ES) culture medium used to cultivate hexanoic acid bacteria is as follows: 1-1.5 parts yeast extract, 0.3-0.6 parts anhydrous sodium acetate, 0.02-0.04 parts MgSO4·7H2O, 0.03-0.06 parts K2HPO4, 0.03-0.06 parts (NH4)2SO4, 100 parts distilled water, and then aseptically added 2-2.5 parts anhydrous ethanol and 0-1.5 parts dry heat sterilized CaCO3.

[0028] In a second aspect, the present invention provides immobilized composite hexanoic acid bacteria prepared using the method of the first aspect.

[0029] Thirdly, the present invention provides the application of immobilized compound hexanoic acid bacteria in the fermentation production of hexanoic acid.

[0030] Furthermore, the application of immobilized compound caproic acid bacteria in the fermentation of caproic acid involves adding immobilized compound caproic acid bacteria to a fermentation system containing ethanol and organic acids to produce caproic acid.

[0031] Fourthly, the present invention provides the application of immobilized compound caproic acid bacteria in the fermentation production of strong-aroma baijiu.

[0032] Furthermore, the application of immobilized compound caproic acid bacteria in the field of baijiu brewing refers to the application of immobilized compound caproic acid bacteria or immobilized compound caproic acid bacteria fermentation broth to cultivate artificial cellar mud, improve the quality of cellar mud, or produce strong-aroma baijiu without cellar mud.

[0033] Furthermore, the production and cultivation of artificial pit mud using immobilized compound caproic acid bacteria is achieved through the following steps: Select high-quality soil, steam it, and add a certain amount of water. Then add ES medium, 3%-6% of the soil mass of immobilized compound caproic acid bacteria or immobilized compound caproic acid bacteria fermentation broth, stir evenly, seal with plastic wrap, and incubate at 33-35℃ for 30-50 days.

Seal and ferment in a solid-state environment for 30-45 days. Distill the fermented mash to obtain strong-aroma baijiu without fermentation pit mud.

[0035] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0036] (1) This invention employs a composite immobilization method of adsorption-embedding to immobilize Hexanoic acid bacteria. During adsorption, *Pleurotus eryngii* is used as the immobilization material, providing a novel immobilization carrier for the cell immobilization of *Hexanoic acid bacteria*. *Pleurotus eryngii* has strong water absorption and retention capacity, enabling it to effectively adsorb bacterial solutions. Furthermore, the dense structure of *Pleurotus eryngii* and its porous internal structure provide space for microbial growth. Through adsorption, *Hexanoic acid bacteria* can be immobilized on *Pleurotus eryngii*. Compared to free cells, immobilized *Hexanoic acid bacteria* also protects the strain from external environmental influences. Both *Pleurotus eryngii* and *Hexanoic acid bacteria* are fungi; *Hexanoic acid bacteria* exhibits better binding force on the *Pleurotus eryngii* carrier, making it easier to adsorb and less susceptible to degradation. In contrast, the single adsorption method easily leads to strain loss. This invention further utilizes agar for embedding on top of the adsorption method, resulting in better immobilization. It is non-toxic to microorganisms, has a simple immobilization process, and provides excellent immobilization results.

[0037] (2) This invention uses a compound caproic acid bacterial solution with a well-defined bacterial community structure, which has stronger adaptability to the environment. The compound caproic acid bacterial solution is a mixture of fast-growing Clostridium celerecrescens JSJ-1 and Angel thermostable yeast. Fast-growing Clostridium celerecrescens JSJ-1 is a high-yielding, oxygen-tolerant caproic acid bacterium that inhibits caproic acid production by glucose. When used in combination with Angel thermostable yeast, it can alleviate the inhibitory effect of glucose on caproic acid production by C. celerecrescens JSJ-1, and the ethanol produced by the yeast from glucose can provide ethanol, the substrate for caproic acid production by C. celerecrescens JSJ-1. Yeast is a facultative anaerobic microorganism, while C. celerecrescens JSJ-1 is an anaerobic bacterium that can tolerate a certain amount of oxygen. When yeast and C. celerecrescens JSJ-1 coexist, the yeast can create a more favorable living environment for C. celerecrescens JSJ-1 by utilizing oxygen.

[0038] (3) The immobilized hexanoic acid bacteria prepared by the present invention can be used for fermentation to produce hexanoic acid, and can also be used in the brewing of liquor. It can significantly increase the content of hexanoic acid and ethyl hexanoate in liquor, and the effect is stable. Detailed Implementation

The king oyster mushroom carrier that has adsorbed caproic acid bacteria is evenly sprinkled in. Then the remaining agar solution is poured into the shallow dish and left to stand at 20°C for 25 minutes until solidified. It is then cut into small pieces with a knife that has been disinfected with alcohol to obtain immobilized composite caproic acid bacteria.

[0085] Example 5

[0086] The hexanoic acid production effect of the immobilized compound hexanoic acid bacteria in Example 1 was compared with the hexanoic acid production effect of the free culture of compound hexanoic acid bacteria and the compound hexanoic acid bacteria prepared by the agar method.

[0087] Free culture: Following the method in Example 1, the compound hexanoic acid bacteria solution was directly inoculated into ES medium at an inoculation rate of 5% (v / v) and cultured for 10 days. Samples were taken periodically to detect hexanoic acid.

[0088] Agar fixation of compound caproic acid bacteria: The compound caproic acid bacteria solution was prepared according to Example 1. 15 parts water were added to 1 part agar, heated until melted, and then sterilized in an autoclave at 115°C for 20 minutes. After sterilization, the agar solution was removed and cooled to 70°C. The prepared compound caproic acid bacteria solution was mixed thoroughly with the agar solution and poured into a shallow dish sterilized with medical alcohol. The mixture was allowed to stand at 20°C for 25 minutes until solidified. The solidified bacteria were then cut into small pieces with an alcohol-sterilized knife to obtain the agar-fixed compound caproic acid bacteria. The agar-fixed compound caproic acid bacteria were added to ES medium at a concentration of 0.5% by weight and cultured for 10 days. Samples were taken periodically to detect caproic acid.

[0089] The effects of hexanoic acid production under the three conditions are shown in the table below.

[0090] Table 1 Comparison of Hexanoic Acid Production Effects

[0091]

[0092] Compared to free-cultured hexanoic acid bacteria, immobilized hexanoic acid production is significantly better, with a much earlier formation time. The immobilized composite hexanoic acid bacteria of this invention achieves hexanoic acid production in just 5 days, approaching the level of free culture after 10 days. Furthermore, the maximum hexanoic acid yield during immobilized culture is significantly higher than in free culture. In free culture, free cells are in direct contact with metabolites, leading to a large accumulation of hexanoic acid and a strong inhibitory effect on cell production. In this invention, the immobilized composite hexanoic acid bacteria, when culturing to produce hexanoic acid, have cells fixed within a carrier, which to some extent protects the bacteria from external environmental interference.

[0093] Compared with immobilized composite caproic acid bacteria prepared by direct encapsulation using the agar method, the immobilized caproic acid bacteria prepared by combining Pleurotus eryngii adsorption and agar encapsulation in this invention have better acid production effect and higher caproic acid yield.

[0094] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the invention.
