Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical fields of genetic engineering and microecological fermentation technology, and in particular to a lactic acid bacterium producing aminopeptidase and its application in oligopeptide feed fermentation for debittering. Background Art
[0002] Soybean meal is a by-product after soybean oil is extracted from soybeans, and is often used as the main raw material in the preparation of animal feed, accounting for more than 60% of the protein sources in the feed industry. Due to its high protein content and good nutritional characteristics, it is known as the king of vegetable protein feeds. Among the proteins contained in soybean meal, the proportion of water-soluble proteins is relatively high, but these water-soluble protein molecules have large molecular weights and complex structures. If soybean meal is directly used to feed animals, the proportion of its protein absorbed and utilized is not high, which will cause waste of soybean meal resources and indirectly lead to an increase in feeding costs. In addition, there are certain amounts of anti-nutritional factors in soybean meal, which hinder the digestion and absorption of feed protein by animals.
[0003] Research shows that animals have better absorption effects on oligopeptides and small molecule peptides than on macromolecular proteins. The existing technology is to use enzymatic hydrolysis and microbial fermentation methods to process soybean meal to prepare high-efficiency animal feed. For example, using enzymes in combination with Bacillus coagulans to produce high-efficiency protein feed, using the method of mixed fermentation of microbial live dry bacteria to prepare soybean meal feed, using compound probiotics to ferment soybean meal feed to improve the conversion rate of soybean isoflavones, and using the method of enzymatic hydrolysis to prepare oligopeptide soybean meal for aquatic feed. By enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation treatment of soybean meal, firstly, macromolecular proteins can be converted into oligopeptides and small molecule peptides, and secondly, anti-nutritional factors in soybean meal can be eliminated. Therefore, the absorption efficiency of animals for feed nutrients can be greatly improved. However, when macromolecular proteins are hydrolyzed, a certain amount of bitter peptides will be produced, thus affecting the palatability of animals.
[0004] In the existing technology, aminopeptidase is used to treat protein hydrolysates to achieve the effect of debittering. For example, aminopeptidase is used to treat the intermediate product of soybean meal fermentation for debittering. Due to the high price of aminopeptidase, the cost of debittered protein feed is increased.
[0005] Existing aminopeptidases generally have problems such as low yield, low enzyme activity, and high price. For the heterologous expression research of aminopeptidase, most of them focus on microorganisms such as Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis, which have the advantages of clear genetic background, fast reproduction speed, and short fermentation cycle. However, Escherichia coli can only express intracellularly, and heterologous expression is prone to form inclusion bodies, and there are endotoxins in Escherichia coli, which limits its application in the food industry; although Bacillus subtilis has strong secretion ability, due to its own ability to produce a large amount of extracellular proteases that can recognize and degrade foreign proteins, only a few heterologous proteins can be produced on an industrial scale. Currently, food-grade excretory aminopeptidase gene engineering strains are rare. Summary of the Invention

The fermentation feed and drinking water are mixed evenly at a solid-liquid ratio of 1:2, filtered to obtain the filtrate. After rinsing their mouths with distilled water, the appraisers take an appropriate amount of the filtrate to be evaluated and hold it in their mouths, then spit it out after 10 s. Using a series of quinine sulfate concentration solutions as the standard reference substances, if the bitterness of the sample solution to be measured is similar to that of a certain concentration standard solution, the bitterness intensity of the sample solution to be measured can be considered as the bitterness intensity of that standard solution. Finally, the average value of the 9 appraisers is taken as the bitterness value of the fermentation feed.
