Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of plant active ingredient extraction and application. More specifically, it relates to a camellia oleifera fruit shell polyphenol extract, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Camellia oleifera fruit shells, also known as camellia seed shells, account for more than 60% of the weight of a single camellia fruit. They are a byproduct of camellia oil processing, with approximately three million tons produced annually. In actual production, most camellia oleifera fruit shells are discarded or incinerated, failing to achieve effective utilization. However, current research has found that camellia oleifera fruit shells are rich in active substances such as saponins, tannins, polyphenols, and polysaccharides, possessing various antioxidant, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer physiological activities. For example, phenolic substances such as proanthocyanidins and hydrolyzed tannins in camellia oleifera fruit shells have been proven to have a good inhibitory effect on intestinal amylase and α-glucosidase, helping to achieve slow digestion and absorption of starch, maintaining postprandial blood glucose homeostasis, and preventing various diet-related chronic diseases. Furthermore, as a natural product, the polyphenols in camellia oleifera fruit shells align with people's pursuit of natural, healthy, safe, and non-toxic medicines.

[0003] To improve the extraction efficiency of polyphenols from camellia oleifera fruit shells, existing technologies commonly use microwave, ultrasonic, and ultra-high pressure extraction techniques with auxiliary solvent extraction. For example, Chinese patent application CN103030710A discloses a method for the resource utilization of camellia oleifera fruit shells. This method involves microwave treatment of the fruit shells, followed by high-temperature, long-duration, and repeated alcohol and water extractions to obtain the active ingredients polyphenols and polysaccharides. The residue is then treated with additives and subjected to high-temperature pyrolysis to prepare bio-oil and biochar products. Although this method yields a high product rate, the high temperature, long duration, and repeated extraction operations can easily cause changes in the active ingredients in the camellia oleifera fruit shells, especially unstable active ingredients such as polyphenols, leading to a decrease in the activity of the extract. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a camellia oleifera fruit shell extraction method that improves the bioactivity of the extract while maintaining a high extraction rate. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the defects and shortcomings of the existing camellia fruit shell polyphenol extraction methods, which require high temperature, long time and multiple extractions, resulting in reduced activity of the extract.

[0180] Effects of different extraction conditions on extract yield and extract activity in experimental examples

[0181] The extraction yield, α-amylase inhibition rate, and α-glucosidase inhibition rate of the camellia oleifera fruit shell polyphenol extracts obtained in the examples and comparative examples were determined using the following methods:

[0182] 1. Determination of extract yield:

[0183] Polyphenol content was determined using the Folin-Ciocalteu method. 10 mg of gallic acid was accurately weighed, dissolved in water, and transferred to a 100 mL amber volumetric flask. The solution was then diluted to volume to obtain a 0.1 mg / mL stock solution. 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 mL of the stock solution were respectively transferred to 10 mL amber volumetric flasks and diluted to volume to obtain gallic acid standard solutions with concentrations of 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04, and 0.05 mg / mL. 1 mL of each standard solution was added to 2 mL of (0.1 N) Folin-Ciocalteu reagent, mixed, and allowed to stand for 5 min. Then, 4 mL of 7.5% Na₂CO₃ was added, and the solution was diluted to 10 mL. The solution was then incubated at room temperature in the dark for 1 h, and the absorbance was measured at 765 nm. A standard curve was plotted with the concentration c of the gallic acid standard sample as the x-axis and the absorbance as the y-axis, yielding the regression equation: y = 15.05x - 0.007(R²). 2 =0.999).

[0184] Make up the volume of the camellia fruit shell polyphenol extract solution to a certain volume, pipette 1 mL into a colorimetric tube, repeat the above operation, and calculate the polyphenol content in the sample according to the following equation. The result is expressed as mg / g.

[0185]

[0186] Where c represents the measured polyphenol concentration, mg / mL; V is the volume of the camellia fruit shell polyphenol extract solution, mL; and m is the dry weight of the camellia fruit shell, g.

[0187] 2. Determination of α-amylase inhibition rate:

[0188] 0.2 mL of Camellia oleifera fruit shell polyphenol extract solution and 0.2 mL of 0.4 mg / mL α-amylase solution (prepared with a pH 6.8 buffer) were placed in a colorimetric tube and incubated in a 37°C water bath for 10 min. Then, 0.2 mL of 1% starch solution was added, and the reaction was allowed to proceed for another 10 min. Finally, 0.2 mL of DNS reagent was added, and the mixture was heated in a boiling water bath for 8 min. After cooling, the volume was adjusted to 10 mL, and the absorbance was measured at 540 nm. The inhibition rate was calculated using the following formula:

[0189]

[0190] Among them, A i A0 represents the absorbance of the camellia oleifera fruit shell polyphenol extract solution, while A0 represents the absorbance measured using an equal volume of phosphate buffer solution instead of the camellia oleifera fruit shell polyphenol extract solution. t The absorbance values ​​measured in the bottom tube group of the Camellia oleifera fruit shell polyphenol extract solution were obtained by replacing the α-amylase solution with phosphate buffer solution.

[0191] 3. Determination of α-glucosidase inhibition rate:

[0192] Add 0.1 mL of Camellia oleifera fruit shell extract solution and 0.2 mL of 0.2 U / mL α-glucosidase (prepared with pH 6.8 buffer) to a test tube containing 0.9 mL of phosphate buffer. Incubate at 37°C for 10 min. Add 0.2 mL of 2.5 mmol pNPG solution and react for 30 min. Then add 0.8 mL of 0.2 mol / L Na₂CO₃. After standing for 15 min, measure the absorbance at 405 nm. The inhibition rate is calculated using the following formula:

[0193]

[0194] Among them, A i A0 represents the absorbance of the camellia oleifera fruit shell polyphenol extract solution, while A0 represents the absorbance measured using an equal volume of phosphate buffer solution instead of the camellia oleifera fruit shell polyphenol extract solution. t The absorbance values ​​measured in the bottom tube group of the Camellia oleifera fruit shell polyphenol extract solution were obtained by replacing the α-amylase solution with phosphate buffer solution.

[0195] The effects of solid additive type and dosage on extraction yield and extract activity are shown in Table 1.

[0196] Table 1. Effect of solid adjuvant dosage on extraction yield and extract activity.

[0197]

[0198] As shown in Table 1, pretreatment of the raw materials with 2%–4% of composite solid additives, 3% sodium carbonate, 3% hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin, and 3% microcrystalline cellulose can effectively increase the extraction yield of polyphenols from Camellia oleifera fruit shells, thereby enhancing their inhibitory ability on α-amylase and α-glucosidase.

[0199] The extract yield and activity of the fruit shell treated with 1% compound solid adjuvant did not change significantly. When the amount of compound solid adjuvant added increased from 1% to 4%, the extract yield and activity showed an increasing trend. When the amount reached 3%, the extract yield and activity reached their maximum and then remained basically unchanged.

[0200] When the amount of solid additives added was 3%, the polyphenol extraction yield and the ability to inhibit the two enzymes showed a consistent trend: composite solid additive (composed of sodium carbonate, hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin, and microcrystalline cellulose in different proportions) > hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin > sodium carbonate > microcrystalline cellulose. Sodium carbonate can react with polyphenols rich in phenolic hydroxyl groups to form salts, and the activities of α-amylase and α-glucosidase are easily affected by the phenolic hydroxyl groups of polyphenols in the environment. Therefore, a certain amount of solid alkali additive is beneficial to the dissolution of polyphenols and can improve the ability of polyphenol extracts to inhibit α-amylase and α-glucosidase. Hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin and microcrystalline cellulose can solubilize polyphenols and increase the extraction yield. The extract obtained from camellia fruit shells treated with the composite solid additive, which is a mixture of these three solid additives in a certain proportion, has a higher polyphenol extraction yield and stronger inhibition of α-amylase and α-glucosidase, which may be due to a synergistic relationship between the three substances.

[0201] The effects of microwave extraction conditions on the extraction yield and the activity of the extract are shown in Table 2.

[0202] Table 2 Effects of microwave extraction conditions on extract yield and extract activity.

[0203]

[0204] As shown in Table 2, the polyphenol extraction yield from Camellia oleifera fruit shells obtained by microwave extraction at 210W power for 1 minute is close to that obtained by extraction at 70℃ for 50 minutes. This indicates that microwave extraction can effectively shorten the extraction time and yield polyphenols close to those obtained by traditional extraction. Further analysis of α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibition rates revealed significant differences in the inhibitory activities of the polyphenol extracts from Camellia oleifera fruit shells obtained by the two methods: the longer extraction time and more thorough extraction, coupled with the prolonged thermal environment, easily decomposes large polyphenol molecules into smaller phenolic compounds, transforming strong inhibitory phenolic compounds into weakly inhibitory ones. In contrast, microwave extraction may contain higher levels of substances that inhibit α-amylase and α-glucosidase activity. Therefore, while the polyphenol content is similar between the extraction and microwave methods, the enzyme inhibitory activity is lower.

[0205] Furthermore, within a certain timeframe, as microwave power (210W–350W) increases, the system heats up rapidly, and the solid-liquid diffusion rate also accelerates, leading to intensified cell rupture and a gradual increase in the extraction yield of fruit shell polyphenols, reaching its maximum at around 350W. However, when the microwave power increases to 420W, it may cause excessively high local temperatures, easily decomposing polyphenolic substances. The higher extraction yield of Camellia oleifera fruit shell polyphenol extract did not exhibit the highest inhibitory activity against α-amylase and α-glucosidase; instead, the extract obtained at 280W power showed stronger activity. This may be because, during the increase in microwave power from 280W to 350W, more phenolic substances dissolved from the fruit shell, but the thermal effect of high power also led to the transformation of strongly inhibitory phenolic compounds into weakly inhibitory ones.

[0206] With increasing microwave time (0.5 min–2 min), the extraction yield of fruit shell polyphenols gradually increased, and the inhibition rates against α-amylase and α-glucosidase gradually increased, reaching a maximum at 1 min. When the microwave time was further extended, both the extraction yield and inhibitory activity of fruit shell polyphenols decreased. At microwave treatment times of 0.5 min and 2 min, the extraction yield of fruit shell polyphenols was lower than that obtained by immersion extraction, but the enzyme inhibitory activities were comparable.

[0207] The effects of macroporous resin purification on the extraction yield and extract activity are shown in Table 3.

[0208] Table 3. Effects of macroporous resin purification on extract yield and extract activity.

[0209]

[0210] The results in Table 3 show that purification with macroporous resin can effectively remove large molecules such as polysaccharides and proteins from the camellia oleifera fruit shell polyphenol extract obtained in S4, effectively avoiding the clogging of the nanofiltration membrane, thereby enriching more active polyphenols and significantly improving enzyme inhibitory activity.
