Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of comprehensive utilization of aquatic products and processing by-products, and in particular relates to a method for preparing sea cucumber enzymes or postbiotics by using Cordyceps militaris as fermentation bacteria. Background Art

[0002] Enzymes are products containing specific biologically active ingredients that are made from animals, plants or fungi, with or without auxiliary materials, and fermented by microorganisms. Its biologically active ingredients include various nutrients provided by the raw materials and microorganisms, as well as some physiologically active substances generated by fermentation, such as amino acids, peptides, vitamins, polysaccharides, polyphenols, flavonoids, alcohols, esters, enzymes, mineral elements, organic acids and various probiotics. At present, there are reports on the preparation of sea cucumber enzymes using sea cucumbers as raw materials, but there are two fermentation methods: one is natural fermentation without adding any microorganisms; the other is composite fermentation with the addition of multiple lactic acid bacteria. Its fermentation products only contain the nutrients of sea cucumbers and the fermentation products of sea cucumbers.

[0003] Postbiotics are inactivated microorganisms and / or bacterial components with a clear genetic background that are beneficial to the health of the host, including or excluding their metabolites. The "Research Status and Industrial Application of Postbiotics" published by the Probiotics Branch of the Chinese Society of Food Science and Technology in the Journal of Chinese Institute of Food Science and Technology records the main connotations of postbiotics as follows: 1) The first condition for postbiotics is that they are beneficial to the health of the host, and the health effects must be scientifically based; 2) The microorganisms selected for postbiotics should be strains with recognized safety and clear genetic backgrounds and biological characteristics, and the components of health effects such as inactivated microorganisms, bacterial components and metabolites are clear; 3) Postbiotics include inactivated bacteria, bacterial components (including bacterial lysates) and their metabolites that are beneficial to the health of the host; vaccines, viruses (including bacteriophages), purified strain metabolites, and traditional fermented products with uncertain bacterial composition are not included.

[0004] Cordyceps militaris ( Cordyceps militaris (L.) Link) is also known as northern cordyceps, and is the model species of the genus Cordyceps of the family Clavicipitaceae of the subphylum Ascomycota. It is of the same genus as Cordyceps sinensis but of a different species. It is a medicinal and edible fungus with high nutritional value and medicinal efficacy. It not only contains nutrients such as protein and fat, but also contains active ingredients such as cordycepin, adenosine and cordyceps polysaccharides. Cordycepin is a unique nucleoside active substance in Cordyceps, which has anti-cancer, antibacterial and antiviral functions; adenosine is an endogenous nucleoside that is distributed throughout human cells, participates in myocardial energy metabolism, and has physiological effects on the cardiovascular system and many systems and tissues of the body; cordyceps polysaccharides are considered to be one of the very good immunostimulants, which can enhance the body's immune capacity. Since the artificial cultivation of Cordyceps militaris is obtained by isolating and domesticating wild Cordyceps militaris, and wild Cordyceps militaris usually parasitizes on the larvae or pupae of Lepidoptera insects, the culture medium used for artificial cultivation of Cordyceps militaris is a key factor in determining the success or failure of cultivation. The existing artificial cultivation method of Cordyceps militaris is to culture Cordyceps militaris strains in liquid potato culture medium to obtain Cordyceps militaris strain culture solution, and then inoculate the Cordyceps militaris strain culture solution into a solid culture medium for the cultivation of Cordyceps militaris fruiting bodies.

[0005] So far, there is no report on the preparation of sea cucumber enzymes or postbiotics using sea cucumber hydrolysate as the sole fermentation matrix and Cordyceps militaris as the fermentation bacteria. Summary of the invention

[0009] Step 2. preparing a sea cucumber enzymatic hydrolysate: adding distilled water to the sea cucumber raw material to crush it, and then adding protease to perform enzymatic hydrolysis to obtain a sea cucumber enzymatic hydrolysate;

[0010] Step 3. Prepare the secondary seed culture solution of Cordyceps militaris: transfer the Cordyceps militaris from the slant mother culture to liquid culture to obtain a cell density of ≥10 9 spores / mL of secondary seed culture solution of Cordyceps militaris;

[0011] Step 4.

[0012] Step 5. Prepare sea cucumber enzyme and postbiotics: freeze-dry the sea cucumber fermentation liquid into powder to obtain sea cucumber enzyme; or sterilize the sea cucumber fermentation liquid at high temperature, centrifuge it, take the supernatant, and freeze-dry it into powder to obtain sea cucumber postbiotics.

[0013] The step 1 is to cut the sea cucumber body wall and / or viscera into strips with a width of 2 to 5 cm, soak them in deionized water at a mass ratio of 1:10 for 4 to 8 hours, and repeatedly soak them 3 to 4 times to obtain the sea cucumber-based raw material.

[0014] The step 2 is to add distilled water to homogenize the sea cucumber raw material at a mass ratio of 1:8-10, then add 1-3% of protease at a mass ratio, control the temperature at 45-55°C, perform magnetic stirring for 2-3 hours of enzymolysis, filter and remove impurities, and sterilize at 115°C for 30 minutes to obtain a sea cucumber enzymolysis solution.

[0015] The step 3 is to take the slant surface of Cordyceps militaris covered with hyphae and store the mother culture of the slant, inoculate the slug into a liquid potato culture medium, and culture the slug in a shaking flask at 130-150 r / min for 5-7 days at 18-22° C. to obtain a first-level seed culture solution of Cordyceps militaris; then transfer the first-level seed culture solution of Cordyceps militaris to a fresh liquid potato culture medium at a ratio of 3-5%, and culture until the cell density is ≥10 9 spores / mL, and the secondary seed culture solution of Cordyceps militaris was obtained.

[0016] The step 5 of sterilizing the sea cucumber fermented liquid at high temperature and then centrifuging to obtain the supernatant is to sterilize the sea cucumber fermented liquid at 115° C. for 30 min, centrifuge at 10,000 r / min for 20 min, and obtain the supernatant.

[0017] The present invention is a method for preparing sea cucumber enzyme or postbiotics by pure bacterial fermentation using sea cucumber hydrolysate as the only fermentation matrix and utilizing edible and medicinal fungi-Cordyceps militaris. Sea cucumber hydrolysate provides nutrition for Cordyceps militaris as a matrix, and through the biotransformation of Cordyceps militaris, the prepared sea cucumber enzyme and postbiotics not only have functional components such as sea cucumber polysaccharides, sea cucumber saponins, cordyceps polysaccharides, cordycepin, etc. present in sea cucumber and Cordyceps militaris itself, but also have sea cucumber-based Cordyceps militaris fermentation products, and each component is organically combined and synergistically enhanced, significantly improving the fiber dissolving and antioxidant activity of sea cucumber enzyme and improving the skin care effects of sea cucumber postbiotics including anti-inflammatory, repair, firming, and antioxidant aspects. Because no other carbon source and nitrogen source need to be added during the fermentation process, the fermentation liquid and thalline can be enriched without separation, and the fishy smell of sea cucumber is significantly reduced during the fermentation process, and no other methods such as physical or chemical de-awakening treatment are required, which has the advantages of simple operation, energy saving, and ecological environmental protection.
