Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of aquatic product preservation, and specifically discloses a preservative containing insect-derived extract as well as a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Aquatic products such as fish, shrimp, crab and the like are rich in nutrients and delicious, and contain rich unsaturated fatty acids and active substances beneficial to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and are more and more favored by people. Since aquatic products are rich in protein and moisture, they are more likely to cause bacterial proliferation and spoilage than meat. Common spoilage bacteria of aquatic fresh products are usually Pseudomonas spp. or Shewanella putrefaciens. Once spoiled, volatile amine substances will be produced, and peculiar smell will be emitted, which is easy to cause food poisoning after eating. Common preservation methods are freezing and preservative soaking. However, freezing will cause the meat of aquatic products to be emulsified, dehydrated, dried and hardened, and the fresh taste will be greatly reduced, which greatly affects the taste. At present, preservatives basically use chemical substances such as sulfites, sodium acetate or composite phosphates, and it is difficult to ensure the safety of food. Therefore, the development and application of safe and non-toxic natural preservatives in aquatic product preservation are highly valued.

[0003] As one of the natural preservatives, plant essential oils have special composition and biological activity, and can be applied to food preservation. However, there are many limitations in the application of plant essential oils in food preservation. The bacteriostatic effect in the actual preservation process is much weaker than that in vitro, and it is necessary to increase the concentration of essential oils to achieve the preservation effect. Not only the cost is increased, but also the essential oils are easy to volatilize and oxidize, which greatly affects the smell and internal structure of food, and reduces the acceptability of food.

[0004] Insect species are rich in resources, widely distributed, and rich in nutrients such as protein, chitin, and oil. As a source of protein food, edible insects or feed products can be commercially accepted. The main edible insects are fly larvae, locusts, black soldier flies, yellow mealworms, silkworm chrysalis, and cicadas. At present, the application research on insects mainly focuses on the insect body and insect manure. The insect body can be used as high-quality protein feed, and the insect manure can be used as organic fertilizer. However, the utilization rate of insect exuviae, pupal shells, insect shells, and dead adult insects is low. The reported insect resource extracts are mainly proteins and polysaccharides, which have antioxidant and antibacterial properties. For example, insect oil is mainly used for feed / health product additives or cosmetic base oil, but there are few reports on its preservative and antibacterial effects. CN112931627A discloses that yellow mealworm protein combined with mulberry leaf extract can be used to prepare antioxidant products. The antioxidant properties of single-component yellow mealworm protein or mulberry leaf extract are weak, and the combination of the two can produce a synergistic effect, significantly improving the antioxidant effect. CN111296558A discloses that black soldier fly-derived chitosan combined with fludioxonil can be used to prepare preservatives for sugar oranges or inhibitors for citrus penicillium. However, fludioxonil is a non-systemic broad-spectrum fungicide with biological toxicity. Therefore, there is still great potential and unlimited possibilities for the comprehensive development and utilization of insect resource by-products. SUMMARY

[0005] In view of the above problems of the prior art, the present application provides a preservative containing insect-derived extracts and a preparation method and application thereof. The present application effectively prolongs the shelf life of aquatic products, maintains their original flavor, taste, and nutrients, and the whole component of the preservative is green, natural, and non-toxic, which has no effect on human health and the environment, so that the insect resources and by-products are fully utilized.

[0060] A preservative containing insect-derived extracts, comprising the following components in mass fraction: 12% of black soldier fly chitosan, 8% of black soldier fly oil, 2% of sea buckthorn seed oil, and 78% of water.

[0061] The preparation method of the preservative in Comparative Example 2 is different from that in Example 1 in that the black soldier fly protein is not added in the aqueous phase in step 3, and the other operation steps and parameters are the same as those in Example 1, which are not repeated here.

[0062] Comparative Example 3

[0063] A preservative containing insect-derived extracts, comprising the following components in mass fraction: 8% of black soldier fly protein, 12% of black soldier fly chitosan, 8% of black soldier fly oil, 2% of sea buckthorn seed oil, and 70% of water.

[0064] The preparation method of the preservative in Comparative Example 3 is different from that in Example 1 in that the black soldier fly powder after step 1 is subjected to enzymatic hydrolysis by using a complex enzyme papain and trypsin (the ratio of the amount of the papain and the trypsin is 1:2, and the enzyme activity is 200 KU / g), and the other operation steps and parameters are the same as those in Example 1, which are not repeated here.

[0065] Comparative Example 4

[0066] A preservative containing insect-derived extracts, comprising the following components in mass fraction: 8% of black soldier fly protein, 12% of black soldier fly chitosan, 10% of sea buckthorn seed oil, and 70% of water.

[0067] The preservative preparation method of Comparative Example 4 is different from that of Example 1 in that the oil phase in step 3 does not add black soldier fly oil, and an equal amount of sea buckthorn seed oil is added, and other operation steps and parameters are the same as those of Example 1, which are not repeated here.

[0068] Comparative Example 5

[0069] A preservative containing insect-derived extracts, by mass fraction: black soldier fly protein 8%, black soldier fly chitosan 12%, soybean oil 8%, sea buckthorn seed oil 2%, and water 70%;

[0070] The preservative preparation method of Comparative Example 5 is different from that of Example 1 in that the oil phase in step 3 replaces black soldier fly oil with soybean oil, and other operation steps and parameters are the same as those of Example 1, which are not repeated here.

[0073] The preservative preparation method of Comparative Example 6 is different from that of Example 1 in that the oil phase in step 3 does not add sea buckthorn seed oil, and an equal amount of black soldier fly oil is added, and other operation steps and parameters are the same as those of Example 1, which are not repeated here.

[0074] Experimental Example 1: Emulsion stability determination

[0075] Test method:

[0076] The obtained emulsion is placed at 37°C under accelerated test conditions, and the emulsion stability is observed and recorded after 1, 3, and 6 months, respectively.

[0077] Table 1

[0078] Group After 1 month After 3 months After 6 months Example 1 No layering, no oiling out No layering, no oiling out No layering, no oiling out Example 2 No layering, no oiling out No layering, no oiling out No layering, no oiling out Example 3 No layering, no oiling out No layering, no oiling out No layering, no oiling out Example 4 No layering, no oiling out No layering, no oiling out No layering, no oiling out Comparative Example 1 No layering, no oiling out No layering, no oiling out Oiling out, flocculation Comparative Example 2 No layering, no oiling out Oiling out, flocculation Layering Comparative Example 3 No layering, no oiling out No layering, no oiling out Oiling out, flocculation Comparative Example 4 No layering, no oiling out No layering, no oiling out No layering, no oiling out Comparative Example 5 No layering, no oiling out No layering, no oiling out No layering, no oiling out Comparative Example 6 No layering, no oiling out No layering, no oiling out No layering, no oiling out

[0079] As shown in Table 1, the emulsion preservative prepared by the present application can maintain good stability. When the oil phase components in Comparative Examples 4-6 are changed, the stability of the emulsion does not change significantly, but when the protein components in Comparative Examples 1-3 are changed or deleted, the stability of the emulsion decreases significantly, which may be due to the good compatibility and affinity of insect-derived enzymatic protein and chitosan. When used as water phase, it can better improve the oil-water interface and effectively increase the stability of the formed emulsion.

[0080] Experimental Example 2: Bacteriostatic performance determination

[0081] Test method: The common spoilage bacteria and pathogenic bacteria in aquatic products were determined according to the evaluation method of the bacteriostatic effect described in WS / T650-2019, and the bacteriostatic rate was ≥50-90%, indicating that the bacteriostatic effect was good; and the bacteriostatic rate was ≥90%, indicating that the bacteriostatic effect was strong.

[0082] The bacteriostatic rate is shown in Table 2.

[0083] Table 2

[0084]

[0085] As shown in Table 2, the preservative emulsion prepared by the application has a strong bacteriostatic effect on spoilage bacteria and pathogenic bacteria. In Comparative Examples 1, 2 and 3, the insect protein is replaced by soybean protein isolate, no insect protein is added, or the insect protein prepared by changing the enzyme hydrolysis conditions, and the bacteriostatic ability of the emulsion preservative is significantly reduced, indicating that the insect protein prepared by the application has a significant synergistic effect on the bacteriostatic effect and the stability of the emulsion. At the same time, when the components of the preservative are changed, the bacteriostatic effect is not as good as that of the components described in the application, for example, in Comparative Example 4, the oil phase only exists in sea buckthorn seed oil, the bacteriostatic effect of the emulsion on the spoilage bacteria is weak, in Comparative Example 5, the sea buckthorn seed oil is used in combination with soybean oil, and the bacteriostatic effect is not significantly improved, and in Comparative Example 6, the oil phase only exists in insect oil, and the bacteriostatic effect on spoilage bacteria is not good, indicating that the combination of insect oil and sea buckthorn seed oil in the oil phase has a synergistic effect, which significantly enhances the bacteriostatic effect on spoilage bacteria and pathogenic bacteria.

[0086] Experimental Example 3, verification test of preservation effect

[0087] Select 550 fresh caught sea shrimps, divide them into 11 groups, 50 shrimps in each group:

[0088] Blank control group: wash the sea shrimps, drain and put them into a preservation box and store them at-2℃;

[0089] Example group and comparative example group: soak the other 10 groups of sea shrimps in the preservatives prepared in Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-6 for 10 minutes, take them out, drain and put them into a preservation box and store them at-2℃.

[0090] (1) Sensory and index evaluation of the preservation effect of sea shrimps: observe the sea shrimps in the blank group, the comparative example group and the example group every day, record the changes in the appearance of the shrimps and evaluate the sensory score. The number of people evaluating the changes in the appearance of the shrimps is 10, the score range is 1-5, the sensory evaluation standard is shown in Table 3, and the average score of each person and each sea shrimp is compared.

[0091] Table 3

[0092]

[0093] The sensory evaluation results are shown in Table 4.

[0094] Table 4

[0095]

[0096]

[0097] From Table 4, there is a significant difference between the blank group, the example group and the comparison group. The shrimp in the blank group rapidly blackens, the head and neck and the meat shell are obviously loose, and the muscle is decomposed after 3 days of refrigeration. The shrimp in the blank group has a foul smell after 5 days, and the sensory evaluation score is low. Although the decomposition rate of the shrimp in the comparison group is slower than that of the blank group, most of the shrimp in the comparison group have black spots and loose meat shells after 3 or 4 days. The shrimp in the comparison group has no fresh shrimp smell after 4 days, and has an unpleasant odor, which is below the edible range. In comparison, the shrimp in the example group has the best preservation effect. The shrimp in the example group still has a fresh shrimp smell after 7 days of refrigeration, and the meat is elastic and has no odor.

[0098] (2) Data index determination: The determination of TVB-N refers to the relevant national standards. The content of TVB-N (volatile salt-based nitrogen) is the ammonia and low-level amine produced by the decomposition of protein due to the action of enzymes and bacteria, which can be used as an evaluation index for the initial decomposition of sea shrimp. According to the GB2733-2015 standard, the content of TVB-N in seawater fish and shrimp should be ≤30mg / 100g, which is used as the freshness evaluation standard for aquatic products.

[0099] The change of TVB-N content (mg / 100g) with refrigeration time is shown in Table 5.

[0100] Table 5

[0101]

[0102]

[0103] As can be seen from Table 5, the TVB-N content of the shrimp determined by each group increases with the increase of refrigeration days. The TVB-N content of the blank group reaches 34.2mg / 100g after 3 days of refrigeration, which is not fresh according to the standard. Although the results of the comparison group are better than those of the blank group, the TVB-N content of the comparison group exceeds 30mg / 100g after 5 days, and the shrimp is no longer fresh. The TVB-N content of the shrimp treated with the emulsion preservative prepared by the present application does not exceed 30mg / 100g after 6 days, and the shrimp is considered to still maintain freshness.

[0104] From the above analysis, the prepared emulsion preservative containing insect source can effectively inhibit the growth of spoilage bacteria and pathogenic bacteria of aquatic products in the cold storage process, slow down the blackening of shrimp body and the generation of volatile odor, and significantly prolong the preservation period of aquatic products.

[0105] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail above, but the present application is not limited to the described embodiments. For those skilled in the art, various changes, modifications, replacements and variations of the embodiments can be made without departing from the principles and spirits of the present application, and still fall within the protection scope of the present application.
