Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of bio-fermentation technology, and in particular to an orchid fermentation broth, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, orchid extracts prepared from orchid plants have been widely used in the cosmetics industry, including various orchid varieties such as Phalaenopsis, Oncidium, and Cymbidium. Studies have shown that the main skin-care and beauty active ingredients of orchid plants include polysaccharides, phenols, alkaloids, organosulfur compounds, and terpenoid volatile aromatic components, which have excellent skin-care and beauty effects such as moisturizing, anti-oxidation, anti-inflammation, whitening, anti-aging, antibacterial, and fragrance enhancement.

[0003] Phalaenopsis aphrodite Rchb.F., belonging to the genus Phalaenopsis in the family Orchidaceae, is native to subtropical rainforests and is an epiphytic orchid. Its large, white aerial roots protrude around the leaves, serving not only to absorb nutrients from the air but also for growth and photosynthesis. During the Lunar New Year, the Phalaenopsis plant sends forth long flower stalks from the leaf axils, producing flowers that resemble butterflies in flight, making it a favorite among flower enthusiasts and earning it the title of "Queen of Orchids." Currently, methods for preparing orchid extracts from Phalaenopsis are mostly based on alcohol extraction or ultrasonic extraction. These methods are relatively simple, but the concentration of active substances in the extracts still needs improvement. Furthermore, existing orchid extracts often exhibit problems such as discoloration upon exposure to light.

[0004] Bifida ferment lysate is a metabolite, cytoplasmic fragment, cell wall component, and polysaccharide complex obtained through the cultivation, inactivation, and decomposition of Bifidobacterium. It is rich in amino acids, vitamins, polypeptides, and minerals, and contains a variety of active ingredients. It has biological activities such as scavenging free radicals and inhibiting lipid peroxidation. It has a good effect on improving skin microecology and skin function, and has been widely used as a cosmetic raw material in the development of related products. Summary of the Invention

[0047] The Phalaenopsis orchids described below are specifically variegated Phalaenopsis orchids, purchased from the Institute of Leisure Agriculture, Shandong Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

[0048] Example 1: Relationship between Phalaenopsis orchid growth cycle and antioxidant capacity

[0049] Orchid extracts are widely used in the cosmetics industry, and various orchids have been proven to possess antioxidant capabilities. This application focuses on Phalaenopsis orchids to explore their specific antioxidant effects.

[0050] The specific experimental procedure included: cleaning Phalaenopsis orchid materials at different growth stages, weighing 0.1g of each material, adding 5mL of 20mmol / L KH2PO4, grinding into a homogenate in a mortar, centrifuging at 10000r / min for 10min, and collecting the supernatant. Superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), and catalase (CAT) were used as representative indicators of antioxidant performance to test the supernatant. SOD activity was determined using the nitroblue tetrazolium photochemical reduction method, POD activity using the guaiacol colorimetric method, and CAT activity using the ultraviolet absorption method. The test results are shown in Table 1.

[0051] Table 1

[0052]

[0053] As shown in Table 1, the petals of Phalaenopsis orchids in their blooming and senescent stages contain higher levels of SOD, POD, and CAT, indicating that they have good antioxidant capacity.

[0054] Example 2: Phalaenopsis orchid fermentation experiment

[0055] Under the preferred conditions of Example 1, this application conducts fermentation experiments on Phalaenopsis orchids with different strains in order to obtain cosmetic materials with excellent properties.

[0056] The specific experimental procedure included: cleaning the Phalaenopsis orchid material, drying it at a low temperature of 20℃-50℃, pulverizing it to 80-100 mesh to obtain Phalaenopsis orchid powder, and mixing the Phalaenopsis orchid powder with MRS liquid culture medium at a material-to-liquid ratio of 1g:5-10mL to obtain the fermentation substrate. Different strains were used for anaerobic fermentation under different conditions. During fermentation, an anaerobic environment was maintained by passing nitrogen gas at an inoculum volume of 4%-6%, and the tank pressure was 3×10⁻⁶. 5 -4×10 5 After fermentation was completed, the SOD content in the fermentation broth was measured. The SOD activity was measured using the same method as in Example 1. The specific fermentation conditions and results are shown in Table 2. The total phenol content was determined using an industry-standard characteristic colorimetric method, and the β-glucan content was determined using the aniline blue colorimetric method.

[0057] Table 2

[0058]

[0059] As shown in Table 2, the petals of Phalaenopsis orchids in full bloom can produce more effective substances after fermentation with Bifidobacterium.

[0060] Fermentation of Phalaenopsis orchid petals during their blooming period using Bifidobacterium, especially Bifidobacterium longum subsp. CICC24935, helps to release superoxide dismutase (SOD) from the plant material, thereby increasing the SOD content in the fermentation broth. Furthermore, the fermentation process also produces more phenolic substances and polysaccharides (such as β-glucan). Previous studies have shown that phenolic substances in orchids are also related to antioxidant activity, while plant polysaccharides in orchids possess rich biological activities, giving them functions such as moisturizing, protecting against UV damage, treating acne, delaying aging, and whitening.

[0061] Example 3

[0062] Step 1: After cleaning the petals of the Phalaenopsis orchid during its blooming period, dry them at a low temperature of 20℃-50℃ and grind them to 90 mesh to obtain Phalaenopsis orchid powder. Mix the Phalaenopsis orchid powder and MRS liquid culture medium at a ratio of 1g:6mL to obtain the fermentation substrate.

[0063] Step 2: Prepare Bifidobacterium seed culture (OD) 600 The inoculum (approximately 5.5%) was inoculated into a fermenter containing the fermentation substrate at an inoculum size of 4%. The temperature was controlled at 37.5℃, the fermenter rotation speed at 150 rpm, and the pH was controlled at 5. During fermentation, an anaerobic environment was maintained by purging 5% nitrogen from the inoculum. The fermenter pressure was 3.530 × 10⁻⁶. 5 Pa, anaerobic fermentation time is 36h;

[0064] Step 3: The fermentation broth obtained after fermentation is completed is crushed using a high-pressure homogenizer. The homogenization pressure is 1300MPa, and the crushing process is repeated 6 times. During the crushing process, the temperature is controlled not to exceed 25℃. The homogenized broth after high-pressure homogenization is filtered through a 50-220nm membrane to remove macromolecular proteins and microorganisms, resulting in a sterile filtrate. This filtrate is then stored in a low-temperature storage tank and used as the Phalaenopsis orchid fermentation broth.

[0065] The Bifidobacterium mentioned was Bifidobacterium longum subsp. longum CICC24935, purchased from the China Industrial Microbial Culture Collection Center.

[0066] Cultivation method of Bifidobacterium seed culture: Inoculate Bifidobacterium longum subsp. CICC24935 into MRS solid medium at 37℃, 200 rpm, and pH 6.8 for approximately 24 hours, until OD reaches the target value. 600 The value is 5.5.

[0067] The Phalaenopsis orchid fermentation broth obtained in this embodiment is rich in antioxidant active substances, and also contains Bifida ferment lysate (Bifidobacterium) released after Bifidobacterium was broken up, as well as a variety of active substances produced by fermentation.

[0068] Example 4: Stability and Efficacy Tests

[0069] In this embodiment, the Phalaenopsis orchid fermentation broth obtained by the method in Example 3 was used as the sample for the experiment. During the experiment, it was found that although the Phalaenopsis orchid fermentation broth has excellent antioxidant activity, its stability is poor and it exhibits high sensitization during the test.

[0070] To improve the above problems, the Phalaenopsis orchid fermentation broth was compounded in this embodiment to obtain the following composition.

[0071] Composition 1: 15% Phalaenopsis orchid fermentation broth, 10% ectoine, 10% hyaluronic acid (5000-10000 da), 5% tripeptide-1, with the balance being water.

[0072] Composition 2: 15% Phalaenopsis orchid fermentation broth, 10% ectoine, 10% hyaluronic acid (10000-15000 Da), 5% tripeptide-1, with the balance being water.

[0073] Composition 3: 15% Phalaenopsis orchid fermentation broth, 10% ectoine, 5% tripeptide-1, with the balance being water.

[0080] Blank control group: 100% Phalaenopsis orchid fermentation broth.

[0081] Stability test

[0082] In this embodiment, it was found that the Phalaenopsis orchid fermentation broth had poor stability, specifically manifested in the easy discoloration and precipitation of the fermentation broth after exposure to light. Therefore, in this embodiment, the above-mentioned composition was used to conduct a stability experiment. Each composition was subjected to 8 hours of light treatment per day for one week. After one week, the stability of each composition was observed, and the specific observation results are shown in Table 3.

[0083] Table 3

[0084]
