Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of biological medicine manufacturing, and particularly relates to a method for extracting high-solubility ovotransferrin from egg white. BACKGROUND

[0002] Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is a global public health problem, which has attracted high attention from governments around the world. Iron fortification and supplementation is an effective means to treat IDA, but most iron supplements have side effects such as causing intestinal oxidative stress and inflammation, so developing iron supplements with less side effects and higher safety has become a big problem to be solved. Ovotransferrin (ovotransferrin) is also known as conalbumin, which is an iron-binding glycoprotein from egg white. As a member of the transferrin family, ovotransferrin has a strong iron-binding capacity and has the potential to be an ideal candidate for a natural, safe and non-toxic iron supplement.

[0003] Ovotransferrin can be separated from egg white by water phase and ethanol fractionation program, ammonium sulfate fractionation precipitation. However, these technical methods have defects. Firstly, the complex of ovotransferrin, ovalbumin, lysozyme and other proteins is formed, and ovotransferrin is not fully exposed in the system, thereby hindering the separation process of ovotransferrin and reducing the yield and purity of ovotransferrin. Therefore, researchers try to use physical fields such as ultrasonic waves to destroy the protein complex, but due to the special composition of egg white system, the ovomucin is highly glycosylated, which can provide a stable skeleton for the protein complex, making the structure of the protein complex stable and difficult to be dissociated. Secondly, the extraction process involves high-concentration ethanol and extremely acidic environment, and the extracted ovotransferrin is denatured to varying degrees, affecting the solubility and iron-binding capacity of ovotransferrin. In order to overcome these shortcomings, researchers have developed ion exchange chromatography and fixed metal affinity chromatography methods on a laboratory scale, but these technologies are difficult to apply on a pilot scale due to low production efficiency and high cost. Therefore, developing a method for simply, quickly and economically extracting ovotransferrin from egg white is conducive to the development of the activity of ovotransferrin and the development of related research and industry. SUMMARY

[0004] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the present application provides a method for extracting high-solubility ovotransferrin from egg white, which mainly utilizes the cavitation effect, molecular polarization effect and molecular reciprocating motion of ultrasonic complex high-voltage alternating electric field to destroy the protein complex, fully expose the ovotransferrin, and promote the structure stretching of the ovotransferrin, which is helpful for the ovotransferrin to bind Fe 3+, and then ethanol is used to remove proteins such as ovalbumin, ovomucin and lysozyme in egg white, and then ethanol is removed by ultrafiltration and the protein solution is concentrated. Then, the pH of the system is adjusted to be acidic by using citric acid, so that the ovotransferrin releases Fe 3+ , and AG1-X2 resin is added to remove free Fe 3+ . In addition, the cavitation effect, molecular polarization effect and molecular reciprocating motion generated by ultrasonic complex high-voltage alternating electric field promote the stretching of protein structure, the exposure of internal hydrophobic groups, and the reduction of the water molecule binding capacity, which helps to reduce the solubility of ovotransferrin by using high biocompatibility PEG8000, thereby obtaining ovotransferrin. The ovotransferrin obtained by the extraction method has high solubility and iron binding capacity, and can be used to prepare ovotransferrin iron preparation for improving IDA by recombining iron elements. The whole preparation process is green, low in cost and can be mass-produced in industry.

The blood samples of the mice were analyzed using a full-automatic blood analyzer, and the content of hemoglobin was less than 100 g / L, which was considered as the successful establishment of an iron deficiency anemia (IDA) model. Subsequently, the mice were intragastrically administered with ovotransferrin iron preparation for 30 days, and the blood biochemical indicators were detected to clarify the application value of ovotransferrin as an iron element carrier.

[0161] Effect of different treatment methods on the particle size of egg white:

[0162] The proteins in the natural egg white system form large particle complexes, which reduces the protein extraction efficiency. Ultrasonic treatment can effectively destroy the protein complexes, but due to the strong viscosity of ovomucin in the egg white system, the ovomucin can provide a stable skeleton for the protein complexes, so that the ultrasonic treatment is not enough to completely destroy the structure. Therefore, on the basis of ultrasonic treatment, the application adopts high-voltage alternating electric field to fully destroy the protein complexes in the system by using molecular polarization effect and reciprocating motion, so as to reduce the particle size of the egg white. The effects of different treatment methods on the particle size distribution of the egg white are shown in Table 1. Figure 1 As shown in Table 1, the particle size distribution of the untreated egg white is in a three-peak distribution, and after the ultrasonic treatment (Example 2), high-voltage alternating electric field treatment (Example 3), high-voltage pulse electric field treatment (Example 4) or ultrasonic combined high-voltage alternating electric field treatment (Example 1), the particle size distribution of the egg white shifts to the small particle size direction, and the effect of the high-voltage alternating electric field is better than that of the high-voltage pulse electric field. The volume-weighted average particle size (d 4,3 ) is calculated by weighting the particle size distribution data, and the results are shown in Table 1. The d 4,3 of the untreated egg white is 629.89 nm, and the d 4,3 of the egg white treated by ultrasonic, high-voltage alternating electric field, high-voltage pulse electric field and ultrasonic combined high-voltage alternating electric field is 464.54 nm, 245.49 nm, 343.34 nm and 118.89 nm respectively. It is shown that the protein complexes in the egg white system in Example 1 are disintegrated under the triple action of cavitation effect, molecular polarization effect and molecular reciprocating motion, so as to form smaller protein particles.

[0163] Table 1 Effects of different treatment methods on the particle size and zeta potential of egg white

[0164]

[0165] Effects of different treatment methods on the Zeta potential of egg white:

[0166] By destroying the protein complexes in the egg white system by ultrasonic combined high-voltage alternating electric field, the contact probability of ovotransferrin and Fe 3+ is improved, and the ovotransferrin chelates Fe 3+ . The test results of the Zeta potential of the egg white protein are shown in Table 1. Under the action of molecular polarization effect, the Zeta potential of the protein is also significantly reduced. The Zeta potential of the untreated egg white is-14.46 mV, and the Zeta potential of the egg white treated by ultrasonic, high-voltage alternating electric field, high-voltage alternating electric field and ultrasonic combined high-voltage alternating electric field is reduced to-19.53 mV, -27.67 mV, -27.23 mV and-36.06 mV respectively, which is helpful for the chelation of ovotransferrin and Fe 3+ .

[0167] Effect of different treatment methods on egg white structure:

[0168] When the excitation wavelength is 280 nm, the aromatic amino acids contained in egg white protein, such as phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan residues, produce fluorescence, i.e. endogenous fluorescence. From Figure 2 It can be seen that the ultrasonic combined high-voltage alternating electric field treatment increases the endogenous fluorescence intensity of egg white, because the cavitation effect and molecular polarization effect act on egg white protein, making the protein structure loose, the egg white protein molecules stretched, and the aromatic amino acids, especially the tryptophan residues, exposed, so that the fluorescence intensity increases. At the same time of the exposure of the aromatic amino acids, the hydrophobic groups inside the protein are also exposed with the unfolding of the protein structure, and the results of the determination of the surface hydrophobicity are shown in Figure 3 . The increase of the surface hydrophobicity effectively reduces the ability of the protein molecules to compete with the system water molecules, which helps the subsequent impurity removal and the use of PEG8000 to separate ovotransferrin.

[0169] Effect of different treatment methods on the chelation of Fe 3+ by ovotransferrin:

[0170] The concentration of free Fe 3+ in the egg white system is used to characterize the chelation of Fe 3+ by ovotransferrin, and the lower the concentration of free Fe 3+ , the more Fe 3+ is chelated by ovotransferrin, which helps to improve the yield of ovotransferrin. The concentration of free Fe 3+ in the egg white system is determined by using the flame atomic absorption spectrometry in the national standard GB5009.90-2016, and the results are shown in Figure 5 . The concentration of free Fe 3+ in the untreated egg white system is 35.87 mg / L, and after the ultrasonic treatment (Example 2), high-voltage alternating electric field treatment (Example 3), high-voltage pulse electric field treatment (Example 4) or ultrasonic combined high-voltage alternating electric field treatment (Example 1), the concentrations of free Fe 3+ in the egg white system are 27.98 mg / L, 29.34 mg / L and 22.31 mg / L respectively, indicating that the ultrasonic combined high-voltage alternating electric field treatment helps the combination of Fe 3+ by ovotransferrin, which is also consistent with the previous conclusion.

[0171] Comparison of the impurity removal effects of different ethanol addition amounts:

[0172] After the combination of Fe 3+ by ovotransferrin, the environmental resistance of ovotransferrin is increased, which can resist the denaturation effect caused by a certain concentration of ethanol. In the present application, different concentrations of ethanol are used to remove other proteins in the egg white system except ovotransferrin, and the precipitate after the addition of ethanol is taken for SDS-PAGE electrophoresis analysis, and the results are shown inFigure 6 No obvious ovotransferrin band was observed when the ethanol concentration was 40% (Example 6) and 45% (Example 1). In addition, a band appeared at 66 kDa when the ethanol concentration was 45%, indicating that the impurity removal effect of 45% ethanol was better than that of 40%. When the ethanol concentration was higher than 45%, different degrees of precipitation of ovotransferrin occurred. In summary, 45% ethanol was selected as the optimal concentration.

[0173] Effect of different pH on ovotransferrin deferrization:

[0174] The filtrate of step 6) in Examples 1, 10-13 was used to determine the Fe 3+ content, and the results are shown in Figure 7 Table 2. Between pH = 2.5-4.0 (Examples 1, 11-13), the residual amount of Fe 3+ was negatively correlated with pH. When pH < 2.5, the residual amount of Fe 3+ in the solution no longer decreased, indicating that pH = 2.5 (Example 1) was the optimal pH for ovotransferrin deferrization.

[0175] Effect of different molecular weight PEG and its addition amount, system pH on yield and purity:

[0176] To determine the effect of different molecular weight PEG and its addition amount on yield and purity, the extraction pH was fixed at 5.5, and the results are shown in Table 2. First, set the addition amount to 15%, and select PEG4000, PEG6000, PEG8000 and PEG10000 to extract ovotransferrin, and then use HPLC to determine its purity and yield. The results show that PEG8000 has the best extraction effect. Subsequently, PEG8000 was used to explore the effect of its addition amount on the purity and yield of ovotransferrin, and the results show that when the addition amount is 15%, the extraction effect is the best. Selecting 15% PEG8000 to extract ovotransferrin, it was found that different pH had no obvious effect on the purity of ovotransferrin, but had a significant effect on its yield. When pH = 5.5, the yield of ovotransferrin was the highest. The data show that when pH = 5.5 and 15% PEG8000 is added (Example 1), the extraction effect is the best, with a yield of 95.79% and a purity of 95.23%.

[0177] Yield and purity of ovotransferrin in Examples 1-5:

[0178] To further clarify the positive role of ultrasonic complex high-voltage alternating electric field in the present application, SDS-PAGE electrophoresis analysis was performed on the products of Examples 1-5, and the results are shown in Figure 8As shown. The molecular weight of ovotransferrin is approximately 77.6 kDa. The band in Example 1 is mainly concentrated in this area, and no other obvious bands were found. However, in Examples 2-5, some small molecule protein bands were still present, indicating that ultrasonic combined with high-voltage alternating electric field treatment helps to improve the purity of ovotransferrin.

[0179] The yield was calculated based on a 12% content of ovotransferrin in egg white protein, and its purity was determined by HPLC. The results are shown in Table 2. The cavitation effect, molecular polarization effect, and molecular reciprocating motion generated by the ultrasonic combined high-voltage alternating electric field increased the yield of ovotransferrin and Fe... 3+ The chelation efficiency was improved, thereby increasing the yield of ovotransferrin. The yield of Example 1 was 95.79%, and the purity was 95.23%, both significantly higher than other examples. The results of SDS-PAGE electrophoresis were further verified. In summary, Example 1 showed a significant improvement in both purity and yield; therefore, the products of Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were selected for further characterization to explore the differences in their basic properties.

[0180] Table 2. Purity and yield of ovotransferrin extracted in the examples and comparative examples.

[0181]

[0182] Example 1, the yield and purity of ovotransferrin extracted from Comparative Examples 1-3:

[0183] The SDS-PAGE electrophoresis results of Examples 1 and 3 are as follows: Figure 9 As shown in Table 2, the yield and purity of the product are as follows. Ultrasonic treatment combined with a high-voltage alternating electric field significantly reduced the content of proteins smaller than 77.6 kDa in the product, thus improving the yield and purity. Calculations showed that the yield of Example 1 was increased by 14.05%, 16.25%, and 12.07% compared to Comparative Examples 1-3, respectively; the purity was increased by 29.90%, 10.81%, and 7.88% compared to Comparative Examples 1-3, respectively.

[0184] Example 1, Comparative Examples 1-3: Solubility, iron content, and iron-binding capacity of ovotransferrin extracted from the samples.

[0185] The solubility, iron content, and iron-binding capacity of the ovotransferrin extracted in Examples 1 and 1-3 are as follows: Figures 10-12As shown. The solubility of Example 1 reached 97.08%, which was increased by 70.14%, 36.14%, and 18.93% compared to Comparative Examples 1-3, respectively. The iron content of Example 1 was 0.12 mg / g protein, while that of Comparative Examples 1-3 was 1.35 mg / g protein, 0.04 mg / g protein, and 0.18 mg / g protein, respectively. Furthermore, the iron-binding capacity of Example 1 at pH=9.0 was 90.72%, which was stronger than that of Comparative Examples 1-3, indicating that the ovotransferrin obtained in Example 1 had a stronger iron-loading capacity.

[0186] Example 1, Comparative Examples 1-3: FTIR spectra and secondary structures of ovotransferrin extracted from the animal:

[0187] Example 1, FTIR spectra of ovotransferrin extracted from Comparative Examples 1-3 are as follows: Figure 13 As shown. Ovotransferrin extracted in Example 1 was subjected to [a process / concentration] at 1100 cm⁻¹. -1 The significantly enhanced absorption caused by CO stretching vibrations at the region indicates a structural difference between the ovotransferrin extracted in Example 1 and those extracted in Comparative Examples 1-3. Unwinding of the amide I region using Omnic and Peakfit software revealed that the amide I band (1600-1700 cm⁻¹)... -1 There are significant differences, and their second derivatives are as follows: Figure 14 As shown in the table. Further calculations were performed on the composition and proportion of the protein's secondary structure, and the results are shown in Table 3. The α-helix proportion of ovotransferrin extracted in Example 1 was 34.41%, which was higher than that extracted in Comparative Examples 1-3. According to literature reports, the proportion of α-helices in iron-binding proteins such as myoglobin and hemoglobin is significantly higher than in other secondary structures, which may be one of the reasons why the ovotransferrin extracted in Example 1 has a stronger iron-binding capacity.

[0188] The above analysis shows that egg white proteins form protein complexes, hindering component separation and purification. For this unique material system, egg white is treated with a combination of ultrasound and a high-voltage alternating electric field. This overcomes the problem of difficult protein separation caused by the inability of ultrasound or high-voltage pulsed electric field treatment to completely destroy protein complexes. The cavitation effect, molecular polarization effect, and molecular reciprocating motion generated by the ultrasound combined with the high-voltage alternating electric field disrupt the protein complexes, fully exposing ovotransferrin and promoting its structural extension, which facilitates the binding of Fe by ovotransferrin. 3+This process enhances the protein's environmental tolerance, facilitating the subsequent removal of proteins such as ovalbumin, ovomucoid, and lysozyme from egg white using high-concentration ethanol. Furthermore, the exposure of hydrophobic groups within the proteins during processing reduces their water-binding capacity, allowing for the specific use of highly biocompatible PEG8000 to reduce the solubility of ovotransferrin, thus yielding the final ovotransferrin. The ovotransferrin extracted using this invention exhibits high solubility and iron-binding capacity, and is environmentally friendly, low-cost, and suitable for large-scale industrial production.

[0189] Table 3. Secondary structures of ovotransferrin extracted from Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-3

[0190]

[0191] The iron-supplementing effect of ovotransferrin:

[0192] The above data indicate that the ovotransferrin obtained in Example 1 has good solubility and iron-binding capacity, and has the potential to act as an iron carrier. Therefore, its effect as an iron supplement was verified by constructing iron deficiency anemia (IDA) mice, and the results are shown in Table 4. OVT-Fe effectively improved the decrease in hemoglobin, blood cell count, serum iron, and other indicators caused by IDA, and its effect was similar to that of FeSO4, indicating that OVT-Fe has a good iron supplementation effect. In order to further clarify the difference between OVT-Fe and FeSO4 in iron supplementation, the oxidative stress and inflammatory factor expression in the duodenum of mice were measured, and the results are shown in Table 4. Figures 15-16 As shown, IDA induced a decrease in the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX) in the duodenum of mice. Oral administration of OVT-Fe significantly increased the activities of SOD and GSH-PX, with effects 42.28% and 83.54% higher than those of oral administration of FeSO4, respectively. Furthermore, oral administration of OVT-Fe also reduced the expression of TNF-α and IL-1β, with effects 22.30% and 30.21% higher than those of oral administration of FeSO4, respectively. In conclusion, OVT-Fe, while supplementing iron, reduces intestinal oxidative stress and the expression of inflammatory factors, contributing to balancing intestinal homeostasis. It is an excellent iron supplement and can be used to improve IDA symptoms.
