Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of food biological processing, and particularly relates to a low-temperature meat-derived lactic acid bacteria and application thereof in matured beef production. BACKGROUND

[0002] Matured beef is a kind of beef that is placed in a cold storage room with controlled temperature, humidity and wind speed for 21-45 days for maturation. During this period, the juice is absorbed by the meat, and the muscle fibers and fat are decomposed by enzymes, so that the beef is juicy, tender and has rich flavor.

[0003] In recent years, matured beef has been favored by consumers due to its high tenderness and rich flavor. According to reported data, the matured beef market in the United States reached 15 billion US dollars in 2020, and the export volume reached 9 billion US dollars. With the further introduction of technology, the domestic matured beef market has just begun to take shape. However, during the low-temperature maturation process, the proliferation of low-temperature spoilage bacteria on the surface of beef leads to surface spoilage of the beef skin, and only the "meat core" can be eaten after cutting off the spoiled outer shell. The spoiled outer shell cannot be eaten and accounts for 25-30% of the beef. Therefore, it is difficult to produce matured beef in a factory, and it is usually produced in small batches in a maturation cabinet, resulting in high prices of matured beef in the market, which cannot be widely promoted as "popular food". Therefore, how to prevent spoilage of matured beef in a low-temperature environment is one of the problems that need to be solved at present.

[0004] Currently, chemical preservatives and natural preservatives are mainly used for low-temperature meat preservation. Chemical preservatives (such as sodium benzoate and sodium lactate) have good preservative effect, simple operation and other advantages, but there are certain food safety risks, and sodium benzoate and calcium propionate also have an odor.

[0005] The use of natural preservatives mainly involves the application research of plant extracts, chitosan, Nisin, lactic acid bacteria antibacterial peptides, etc. The use of lactic acid bacteria is mostly limited to the use of lactic acid bacteria metabolites to extend the shelf life of low-temperature meat products, but the production cost is high.

[0066] 2. Preservative experiment of mature beef

[0067] Fresh beef was divided into 6 pieces, each weighing 3 kg, and the size was consistent.

[0068] Table 1 Preservative experiment grouping

[0069]

[0070] The strain SCB2557 group is to spray the above bacteria liquid on the surface of beef, while the control group is not treated as a control. Then put the two groups of meat into the aging refrigerator (1-6℃, humidity 75-85%) for 21 days.

[0071] During the aging period, the refrigerator uses "four-stage" variable temperature and humidity method, the scheme is as follows:

[0072] First stage (0-1d): refrigerator temperature 4-6℃, humidity 83-88%

[0073] Second stage (2-7d): refrigerator temperature 2-4℃, humidity 80-85%

[0074] Second stage (8-11d): refrigerator temperature 3-5℃, humidity 77-80%

[0076] On the 21st day, the total volatile base nitrogen (TVB-N) content, pH value, sensory evaluation, microbial indicators (total number of colonies, total number of lactic acid bacteria and total number of pseudomonas) were determined, the scheme is as follows.

[0077] pH value: take 10g meat sample, grind thoroughly, then add distilled water without CO2 to 100mL, shake, stand for 30min, then filter the filtrate and measure the pH with pH meter.

[0078] Volatile basic nitrogen content: During the storage of meat samples, basic nitrogen-containing substances such as ammonia, primary amines, secondary amines and tertiary amines generated by protein decomposition can be volatilized in an alkaline solution at 37°C and then collected by an absorbent solution. The volatile basic nitrogen content of the meat sample is determined by referring to the third method for determining volatile basic nitrogen in the GB 5009.228-2016 Food Safety National Standard Food, i.e., the micro-diffusion method. 10 g of the meat sample is ground in a mortar and stirred uniformly, transferred into a 100 mL volumetric flask and diluted with distilled water to 100 mL. The flask is shaken from time to time and immersed for 30 min, and then filtered to obtain a meat sample leachate. A water-based glue is coated on the outer chamber grinding mouth of a Conway dish, 1 mL of boric acid absorbent (20 g / L) and 1 drop of a mixed indicator of methyl red-ethanol indicator (2 g / L) and methylene blue indicator (1 g / L) are added to the inner chamber, 1 mL of the meat sample leachate is added to one side of the outer chamber, a glass cover is placed (the gap is not tightly covered), and then 1 mL of saturated potassium carbonate solution is added to the other side of the outer chamber through the gap in the glass cover. The glass cover is tightly covered, and the outer chamber sample solution and the alkaline solution are mixed uniformly by gently rotating. The Conway dish is placed in a 37°C constant temperature box for 2 hours, taken out, cooled to room temperature, and the cover is removed. The boric acid absorbent in the inner chamber is titrated with a hydrochloric acid standard solution (0.010 mol / L), and the end point is blue-violet. Two independent determination experiments are performed under repeatable conditions, and a blank test is also performed. The volatile basic nitrogen content in the meat sample is calculated by referring to the following formula:

[0079]

[0080] In the formula:

[0081] X: the content of volatile basic nitrogen in the meat sample, in units of milligrams per hundred grams (mg / 100 g);

[0082] V2: the volume of the standard acid solution consumed in titrating the sample, in units of milliliters (mL);

[0083] V3: the volume of the standard acid solution consumed in titrating the blank, in units of milliliters (mL);

[0084] C: the actual concentration of the hydrochloric acid standard solution, in units of moles per liter (mol / L);

[0085] m: the mass of the meat sample, in units of grams (g);

[0086] 14: the mass of nitrogen corresponding to 1.00 mL of the hydrochloric acid standard titration solution [c(HCl) = 1.000 mol / L], in units of milligrams (mg).

[0087] Microbial indicators: 25 g of the beef sample is cut into small pieces, accurately weighed into a sterile homogenization bag, 225 mL of sterilized physiological saline is added, and the sample is shaken for 1 min to obtain a 10 -1Diluted liquid, then 1 mL of sterile gun head to suck 1 mL of diluent, put into 9 mL of sterile saline, shake and mix into 10 -2 Diluted liquid. In turn, the continuous dilution to 10 -4 . According to the "GB 4789.2-2016 food safety national standard colony count method" to determine the total number of colonies; "SN / T 4044-2014 export grade meat products in the counting method of pseudomonas" to determine the total number of pseudomonas; "GB 4789.35-2010 food safety national standard food microbiology test lactic acid bacteria test" to determine the total number of lactic acid bacteria.

[0088] Sensory evaluation: from the refrigerator to take the meat sample, after thawing in warm water for 15 minutes, please 5 food professionals on its cut surface color, texture, smell evaluation. After the sensory identification of meat samples were fried, the taste of beef after cooking, taste evaluation. Scoring criteria are shown in Table 2.

[0091]

[0092] III. Results

[0093] 3.1 Strain low temperature growth curve

[0094] As Figure 2 shown, strain SCB2557 has good cold tolerance, can grow rapidly to 0.8-1.2 x 10 9 cfu / mL in 4℃ environment, and keep the number of bacteria stable in subsequent time; while the non cold tolerant Lactobacillus bulgaricus SCB0693 does not grow and reproduce in low temperature environment, and the number of bacteria decreases significantly in later period. Therefore, strain SCB2557 has good cold tolerance and can grow in low temperature environment.

[0095] 3.2 Antisepsis effect

[0096] Table 3 changes of physicochemical and microbial indicators of beef aging for 21 days

[0097]

[0098] Note: ** Indicates that the control group p<0.01, extremely significant difference; + indicates increase, - indicates decrease.

[0099] The changes of physicochemical and microbial indicators of beef aging for 21 days at 4℃ are shown in Table 3.

[0100] In terms of pH, the pH of the beef group sprayed with strain SCB2557 was slightly lower than that of the control group during the low-temperature aging of beef, with a decrease of 5.75%, which was due to the acid production of strain SCB2557. The decrease in pH is conducive to the inhibition of the growth of spoilage bacteria, but the decrease is small and is not enough to affect the taste of beef.

[0101] In terms of TVB-N content, the TVB-N content of beef before aging was 10.81 mg / 100 g. After 21 days of treatment, the TVB-N content of the control group was 33.29 mg / 100 g, while the TVB-N content of the beef sprayed with strain SCB2557 was 19.25 mg / 100 g, which was significantly lower than that of the control group by 42.17% (p<0.01). This indicates that the addition of the strain can effectively reduce the production of volatile basic nitrogen.

[0102] In terms of microbial indicators, after 21 days of beef aging, the SCB2557 treatment group and the control group had significant differences in various indicators (p<0.01). Compared with the control group, the total number of colonies and the total number of spoilage bacteria (Pseudomonas) in the treatment group were significantly reduced, with a decrease of 95.31% in the total number of colonies and a decrease of 99.33% in the number of Pseudomonas. The total number of lactic acid bacteria in the treatment group was significantly higher than that in the control group, with an increase of 108.05% compared with the control group. This indicates that strain SCB2557 has good competitiveness on the surface of beef in a low-temperature environment, can quickly occupy the ecological niche on the surface of beef, effectively inhibit the growth of spoilage bacteria, and achieve the effect of effectively preventing beef spoilage.

[0103] The sensory evaluation of beef after 21 days of aging is shown in Table 1. Figure 3 The sensory evaluation of beef after 21 days of aging is shown in Table 1.

Then, the seed culture solution was inoculated into sterilized soy milk medium at an inoculation amount of 1×10 7 cfu / mL and cultured at 30°C for 16 h to obtain a bacterial solution, which was stored at 4°C for later use (used within 3 days).

[0107] II. Aging beef preservation experiment

[0108] The above bacterial solution was sprayed on the surface of fresh beef, and then placed in an aging refrigerator (1-6°C, humidity 75-85%) for aging for 21 days. During the aging period, the refrigerator used a "four-stage" variable temperature and humidity method, with the following scheme:

[0109] First stage (0-1d): refrigerator temperature 4-6°C, humidity 83-88%

[0110] Second stage (2-7d): refrigerator temperature 2-4°C, humidity 80-85%

[0111] Second stage (8-11d): refrigerator temperature 3-5°C, humidity 77-80%

[0112] Fourth stage (12-21d): refrigerator temperature 1-3°C, humidity 75-78%

[0113] Every 7 days, samples were taken for metagenomic analysis.

[0114] III. Results

[0115] As shown in Figure 4 , after aging beef was sprayed with strain SCB2557, the bacterial community structure of the aged beef was greatly changed compared to the original bacterial community structure Figure 1 . At 7d, there was almost no growth of Pseudomonas, while at 14d and 21d, the relative abundance of Pseudomonas was about 50%. After 21 days of aging, the proportion of surface lactic acid bacteria increased significantly compared to the bacterial community structure on the surface of ordinary aged beef, and the niche of lactic acid bacteria on the surface of the aged beef increased greatly. This indicates that strain SCB2557 has good preservation effect and can inhibit the growth of spoilage bacteria through population competition.

[0116] Example 5, Effect of strain SCB2557 culture time on aging beef preservation

[0117] I. Bacterial solution preparation

[0118] Sterilized soy milk medium preparation: 50g / L sugar-free soy flour, 60g / L white sugar, 112°C sterilization for 15min.

[0119] The activated strain SCB2557 was inoculated into the sterilized soy milk medium and cultured at 30°C for 24h to obtain a seed culture solution; then the seed culture solution was inoculated into the sterilized soy milk medium at an inoculation amount of 1x10 6 cfu / mL and cultured at 30°C for 16h, 24h, and 32h, respectively, to obtain a bacterial solution, which was stored at 4°C for later use (within 3 days).

[0120] II. Aging beef preservation experiment

[0121] Fresh beef 12 pieces, each 3 kg, uniform size, divided into A, B, C, D four groups, each group of three pieces.

[0122] Among them, group A sprays the bacterial liquid cultured for 16h, group B sprays the bacterial liquid cultured for 24h, group C sprays the bacterial liquid cultured for 32h, and group D does not spray the bacterial liquid. And put it into the ripening refrigerator (1-6℃, humidity 75-85%) for 21 days. During the ripening period, the refrigerator adopts "four-stage" variable temperature and humidity method, and the scheme is as follows:

[0123] First stage (0-1d): refrigerator temperature 4-6℃, humidity 83-88%

[0124] Second stage (2-7d): refrigerator temperature 2-4℃, humidity 80-85%

[0125] Second stage (8-11d): refrigerator temperature 3-5℃, humidity 77-80%

[0126] Fourth stage (12-21d): refrigerator temperature 1-3℃, humidity 75-78%

[0127] On the 21st day, the pH value, microbial indicators (total number of colonies, total number of lactic acid bacteria and total number of pseudomonas) were determined.

[0128] III. Results

[0129] Table 4 Effect of strain SCB2557 incubation time on ripening beef

[0130]

[0131] Note: * Significant difference compared with the control group (p<0.05); ** Extremely significant difference compared with the control group (p<0.01)

[0132] As shown in Table 4, compared with the control group, the pH, total number of colonies and total number of pseudomonas of A, B and C groups were relatively small, with extremely significant difference (p<0.01), and the total number of lactic acid bacteria was relatively high, with good preservative effect. For A, B and C groups, the longer the incubation time of strain SCB2557, the lower the pH and the total number of pseudomonas, and the higher the total number of lactic acid bacteria. It shows that within a certain time limit, the longer the incubation time, the more dominant the strain SCB2557 occupies the ecological niche on the surface of beef, thereby inhibiting the growth of spoilage bacteria and improving the preservative effect.

[0133] Example 6, Effect of mixed milk ratio on the preservative effect of ripening beef

[0134] I. Preparation of sterile mixed milk culture medium

[0135] Three sterilized mixed milk culture media were prepared according to the following scheme:

[0136] Group A (3:1): 60 g / L of sugar-free soybean powder, 20 g / L of whole milk powder, 20 g / L of white sugar, sterilized at 105°C for 20 min

[0137] Group B (1:1): 40 g / L of sugar-free soybean powder, 40 g / L of whole milk powder, 20 g / L of white sugar, sterilized at 105°C for 20 min

[0138] Group C (1:3): 20 g / L of sugar-free soybean powder, 60 g / L of whole milk powder, 20 g / L of white sugar, sterilized at 105°C for 20 min

[0139] II. Preparation of bacterial solution

[0140] The activated strain SCB2557 was inoculated into the sterilized mixed milk culture media of groups A, B and C respectively, and incubated at 30°C for 24 h to obtain seed culture solution; then the seed culture solution was inoculated into the corresponding sterilized mixed milk culture media at an inoculation amount of 1 x 10 6 cfu / mL, and incubated at 30°C for 24 h to obtain bacterial solution, which was stored at 4°C for later use (used within 3 days).

[0141] III. Preservation experiment of cooked beef

[0142] Twelve pieces of fresh beef, each weighing 3 kg and having the same size, were divided into four groups, with three pieces in each group.

[0143] The bacterial solution of strain SCB2557 cultured in the sterilized mixed milk culture media of groups A, B and C was sprayed on the beef in the three groups respectively, and the beef in group D was not sprayed with bacterial solution, and then the beef was placed in a cooked cold storage (1-6°C, humidity 75-85%) for 21 days. During the cooking period, the cold storage was subjected to "four-stage" temperature and humidity changes, and the scheme was as follows:

[0144] First stage (0-1d): cold storage temperature 4-6°C, humidity 83-88%

[0145] Second stage (2-7d): cold storage temperature 2-4°C, humidity 80-85%

[0146] Second stage (8-11d): cold storage temperature 3-5°C, humidity 77-80%

[0147] Fourth stage (12-21d): cold storage temperature 1-3°C, humidity 75-78%

[0148] On the 21st day, the microbial indicators (total number of colonies, total number of lactic acid bacteria and total number of Pseudomonas) were determined.

[0149] IV. Results

[0150] Table 5 Effect of mixed milk ratio on cooked beef

[0151]

[0152] Note: There is no same letter between groups, and there is adjacent letter, which means p < 0.05

[0153] From Table 5, A, B, C three groups in four indicators are significantly different (p < 0.05). The ratio of soy milk and cow milk in mixed milk will affect the preservation effect of strain SCB2557 on mature beef. With the increase of the ratio of soy milk in mixed milk, the proliferation rate of strain SCB2557 increases, which makes the population competition advantage of strain SCB2557 on the surface of mature beef stronger, and better inhibits the growth of spoilage bacteria.
