Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of food processing technology, and in particular to a specific compound enzyme inhibitor for wheat germ, wheat germ products, and their preparation methods. Background Technology

[0002] Wheat germ is a crucial byproduct of wheat processing. As the regenerative tissue of wheat, it has a complex composition, containing various components such as unsaturated fatty acids and multiple enzymes. Lipases, in particular, can break down fats, generating unstable unsaturated fatty acids that oxidize and cause rancidity, emitting an unpleasant odor. Untreated wheat germ spoils within days, so maintaining its stability is paramount for its development and utilization. Wheat germ stabilization is a complex process involving changes in enzymes and nutrients. The effectiveness of stabilization depends on processing and storage factors, making the stabilization process extremely complex. The goal of stabilization is to extend the shelf life of wheat germ while minimizing nutrient loss.

[0003] CN109007609 A discloses a method for preparing preserved wheat germ flakes, which first uses steam to inactivate the enzymes in wheat germ, followed by microwave treatment, addition of antioxidants, and low-temperature drying. This method achieves a shelf life of up to 12 months, but the overall process is complex, resulting in a relatively short product shelf life. CN103284076 A discloses a method for preparing long-shelf-life instant wheat germ powder, which mainly employs formulation technology to improve shelf life, but this reduces the overall nutritional value of the product. CN112617111 A discloses a method for preparing ready-to-eat wheat germ flakes, but the prolonged drying process damages the active ingredients to some extent, and the product has a short shelf life. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this invention provides a wheat germ-specific compound enzyme inhibitor, a wheat germ product, and a method for preparing the same product, achieving a balance between extending product shelf life and reducing nutrient loss.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a wheat germ-specific compound enzyme inhibitor, comprising, by weight percentage: 50-60% rosmarinic acid, 20-24% blueberry extract, 14-17% green tea extract and 5-9% turmeric extract.

[0006] In existing technologies, physical methods are often used to inhibit lipase activity in wheat germ flakes, thereby preventing spoilage and extending product shelf life. However, such methods have limited effectiveness and can lead to significant nutrient loss or changes in product color. This invention has found that treating wheat germ flakes with the aforementioned compound enzyme inhibitor can effectively inhibit 80%-90% of lipase activity, improve lipid stability, and reduce the destruction of active ingredients.

[0007] Rosmarinic acid (RosA) is an organic compound with the chemical formula C60. 18 H 16 O8 is a water-soluble natural phenolic acid compound isolated from rosemary, a plant in the Lamiaceae family. Rosmarinic acid is widely distributed, mainly found in various plants of the Lamiaceae, Boraginaceae, Cucurbitaceae, Tiliaceae, and Apiaceae families, with the highest content in plants of the Lamiaceae and Boraginaceae families. Rosmarinic acid has various biological activities, including antioxidant, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral effects.

[0008] Bilberry extract is a substance extracted from bilberry fruit. It is rich in compounds such as anthocyanins and flavonoids and has antioxidant properties.

[0009] Green tea extract is an active ingredient extracted from green tea leaves, mainly including tea polyphenols (catechins), caffeine, aromatic oils, water, minerals, pigments, carbohydrates, proteins, amino acids, and vitamins. Among these, tea polyphenols are the main component of green tea extract, possessing strong antioxidant and free radical scavenging effects. They can significantly reduce serum total cholesterol, triglycerides, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels in hyperlipidemia, while also restoring and protecting vascular endothelial function. Furthermore, green tea extract also exhibits various biological activities such as antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antitumor, and anti-radiation effects.

[0010] Turmeric extract is derived from the dried rhizome of turmeric, a plant in the ginger family. Its main components include volatile oils, curcumin, and curcuminone, and it has various biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial, and anticoagulant effects.

[0011] Therefore, existing technologies have not found that the four components—rosmarinic acid, bilberry extract, green tea extract, and turmeric extract—have an inhibitory effect on lipase activity, nor have they disclosed a specific ratio of these four components that can effectively inhibit 80%-90% of lipase activity in wheat germ, improve lipid stability, and reduce the destruction of active ingredients. After accidentally discovering the compound enzyme inhibitor of this invention, the inventors attempted to investigate whether this was due to their antioxidant properties, but found that replacing one component with another that also has antioxidant properties did not yield the same effect. This shows that it is not simply a matter of having antioxidant properties; rather, the synergistic effect is produced by the combination of these four components: rosmarinic acid, bilberry extract, green tea extract, and turmeric extract.

[0012] More preferably, the complex enzyme inhibitor further includes citric acid at a mass percentage of 0.05-0.1%. The addition of citric acid further enhances the effect of extending shelf life.

[0013] In some embodiments of the present invention, the rosmarinic acid, blueberry extract and green tea extract are water extracts, and the turmeric extract is an alcohol extract.

[0014] Secondly, the present invention provides a wheat germ product, comprising wheat germ flakes and the above-mentioned wheat germ flake-specific compound enzyme inhibitor.

[0015] Preferably, the amount of the compound enzyme inhibitor added is 0.05-0.09‰ of the weight of the wheat germ. If the amount added is too low, a good inhibitory effect on enzyme activity cannot be achieved; if the amount added is too high, it will reduce the lipid stability of wheat germ, affect the appearance, color and taste of the wheat germ, and increase the product processing cost.

[0016] After wheat germ flakes are treated with the compound enzyme inhibitor of the present invention, the wheat germ flake products have a rich wheat aroma, pure taste, and long shelf life. Specifically, in some embodiments of the present invention, the physicochemical indicators of the wheat germ flake products are: peroxide value ≤ 0.0600g / 100g, moisture content ≤ 4.0%, lipase activity ≤ 10.00mg / g, and retention rate of the heat-sensitive nutrient VE > 95%; the shelf life of the wheat germ flake products is more than 18 months.

[0017] Thirdly, the present invention provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned wheat germ product, comprising:

[0018] First, the compound enzyme inhibitor is dissolved in hot water at 80±5℃, homogenized, and sterilized to obtain a compound enzyme inhibitor solution; then, the compound enzyme inhibitor solution is mixed with the wheat germ flakes and then dried.

[0019] In some embodiments of the present invention, the amount of hot water used is such that the moisture content in the wheat germ is ≤22% after mixing with the complex enzyme inhibitor solution.

[0020] In some embodiments of the present invention, the mixing time between the compound enzyme inhibitor solution and the wheat germ flakes does not exceed 4 hours. Excessive contact can stimulate lipase activity and reduce its lipid stability. Specifically, the compound enzyme inhibitor solution can be sprayed onto the wheat germ flakes first, and then mixed evenly by manual or mechanical means.

[0021] In some embodiments of the present invention, the drying is carried out by hot air drying at a temperature of 90-130°C for a time of 60-90 minutes.

[0022] In some embodiments of the present invention, the specific preparation process of the wheat germ product is as follows:

[0023] (1) The complex enzyme inhibitor was dissolved, homogenized and sterilized in hot water at 80±5℃ to obtain a complex enzyme inhibitor solution.

[0024] (2) Detect the initial moisture content of wheat germ slices. Determine the amount of compound enzyme inhibitor solution to be added based on the moisture content of the mixed wheat germ slices being ≤22%. The amount of compound enzyme inhibitor added is 0.05-0.09‰ of the weight of wheat germ slices.

[0025] (3) Spray the compound enzyme inhibitor solution onto wheat germ slices and mix it evenly, requiring the mixing time to not exceed 4 hours;

[0026] (4) The processed wheat germ flakes are dried by hot air at a temperature of 130-90℃ for 60-90 minutes. After drying, they are packaged to obtain the finished product.

[0027] The above preparation method is simple, widely applicable, and easy to scale up for industrial production.

[0028] It is understood that the preparation method of the wheat germ product described in this invention can also be understood as the method of using the wheat germ-specific compound enzyme inhibitor.

[0029] In short, the method of using the wheat germ-specific compound enzyme inhibitor is as follows:

[0030] First, the compound enzyme inhibitor is dissolved in hot water at 80±5℃, homogenized, and sterilized to obtain a compound enzyme inhibitor solution; then, the compound enzyme inhibitor solution is mixed with the wheat germ flakes and then dried.

[0031] Furthermore, the amount of hot water used is such that the moisture content in the wheat germ is ≤22% after mixing with the complex enzyme inhibitor solution.

[0032] Furthermore, the mixing time between the compound enzyme inhibitor solution and the wheat germ slices should not exceed 4 hours. Excessive contact can stimulate lipase activity and reduce its lipid stability. Specifically, the compound enzyme inhibitor solution can be sprayed onto the wheat germ slices first, and then mixed evenly manually or mechanically.

[0033] Furthermore, the drying process employs hot air drying at a temperature of 90-130℃ for 60-90 minutes. More preferably, a two-stage drying process is used: the first stage involves drying at 110-130℃ for approximately 20 minutes, and the second stage involves drying at a temperature 10-20℃ lower than the first stage for approximately 50 minutes.

[0034] This invention provides a specific compound enzyme inhibitor for wheat germ flakes, a wheat germ flake product, and its preparation method. By selecting a compound enzyme inhibitor containing specific amounts of rosmarinic acid, bilberry extract, green tea extract, and turmeric extract, and adding it to wheat germ flakes in a certain amount, 80%-90% of the lipase activity in wheat germ flakes can be effectively inhibited, improving lipid stability, reducing the destruction of active ingredients, and resulting in wheat germ flakes with a rich wheat aroma, pure taste, and long shelf life. Moreover, this invention has a simple process, strong applicability, and is easy to scale up for industrial production. Attached Figure Description
