Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the cross field of food science and biomedical applications, and relates to a kind of preparation and application of food functional factor loaded probiotic biomimetic nanoparticles. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the improvement of living standards, people's requirements for food have also greatly improved, from the requirement of "eating enough" to eating nutrition and health. In addition to the main function of providing nutritional energy for the human body, the bioactive ingredients contained in food are increasingly favored. They are functional factors in food, mainly including proteins, functional lipids, polysaccharides, terpenes, polyphenols, carotenoids, flavonoids, probiotics, minerals, vitamins, etc. These functional factors play an important role in improving food quality, regulating physiological functions, preventing diseases and regulating human health. However, food functional factors are often characterized by poor solubility, poor stability and low bioavailability, and are easily affected by factors such as temperature, oxygen, pH, light, humidity, enzymes and metal ions, making it difficult to be widely applied in the processing industry.

[0003] In order to overcome the low solubility, stability and bioavailability of food functional factors, nano-particle-based functional factor delivery systems have been widely used in functional foods. Nanoparticles are internalized into cells by endocytosis, thereby improving the utilization rate of food functional factors. However, nanoparticles still have safety problems, poor biocompatibility, low bioavailability and other limitations. Research has found that even if food functional factors are protected by nanoparticles, their retention rate is only 20-30% after digestion by gastric acid, and further improvement is needed. Therefore, a new type of carrier system is needed to improve the bioavailability of food functional factor-loaded nanoparticles. SUMMARY

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0053] Raw material source

[0054] The Lactobacillus plantarum is purchased from the China Industrial Microbial Culture Collection Center, and the preservation number is CICC 24936;

[0055] The preparation of the sugar-based whey protein isolate nanoparticle embedding astaxanthin is disclosed in the invention patent with the publication number CN115844837B.

[0056] Example 1

[0057] The preparation method of the probiotic biomimetic nanoparticle loaded with a food functional factor includes the following steps:

[0058] S1, dissolve 1 gram of Lactobacillus plantarum in a NaCl solution, and obtain a probiotic suspension solution by magnetic stirring at room temperature; the OD value of the natural probiotic final concentration is 1, the NaCl solution concentration is 0.5 mg / mL, and the magnetic stirring is performed at room temperature for 60 min to obtain the bacterial suspension. 600 The OD value of the natural probiotic final concentration is 1, the NaCl solution concentration is 0.5 mg / mL, and the magnetic stirring is performed at room temperature for 60 min to obtain the bacterial suspension.

[0059] S2, adding a basic solution prepared with NaCl solution (NaCl concentration of 0.5 mg / mL) to the S1 bacterial suspension, stirring at 37°C for 24 hours to obtain a mixed system; the final concentration of NaCl in the mixed system is 0.5 mg / mL, the base is NaOH, and the final concentration of NaOH is 2.5 mg / mL; the bacterial cell wall suspension solution is subjected to SEM scanning electron microscopy imaging, and the results are shown in Figure 1 .

[0060] S3, centrifuging the mixed system in S2, washing the precipitate obtained by centrifugation, and then resuspending the precipitate with NaCl solution to obtain a bacterial cell wall suspension solution. The centrifugal force is 8000 rpm, and the centrifugation time is 6 minutes; the washing condition is 0.5 mg / mL NaCl solution, and the washing time is 3 times; the resuspension uses NaCl solution with a concentration of 0.5 mg / mL.

[0061] S4, adding 1 g of astaxanthin-embedded glycosylated whey protein isolate nanoparticles to 10 mL of the bacterial cell wall suspension solution (bacterial cell wall concentration of 1 mg / mL) prepared in S3, incubating at 37°C under vacuum conditions for 24 hours, and centrifuging to obtain probiotic biomimetic nanoparticles carrying food functional factors, with an embedding rate of more than 60%. The vacuum condition is 0.1 MPa, the centrifugal force is 8000 rpm / min, and the centrifugation time is 6 minutes.

[0062] Example 2

[0063] Referring to Example 1, only the final concentration of NaOH in the mixed system in step S2 is adjusted to 4 mg / mL and 1 mg / mL to prepare the bacterial cell wall suspension solution.

[0064] The bacterial cell wall suspension solution is subjected to SEM scanning electron microscopy imaging, and the results are shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 .

[0065] It can be found by comparison that for Lactobacillus plantarum, the final concentration of NaOH determines the size of the bacterial cell wall opening. Obviously, too low an alkali concentration will result in too small an opening, and too high an alkali concentration will result in too large an opening. Therefore, the final concentration of NaOH should be 2.5 mg / mL.

[0066] Example 3

[0067] Referring to Example 1, only the concentration of the bacterial cell wall suspension solution in step S4 is adjusted to 0.1 mg / mL to prepare the probiotic biomimetic nanoparticles.

[0068] The loading rate of the probiotic biomimetic nanoparticles is detected, and the loading rate is 88.28%.

[0069] Example 4

[0070] Reference is made to Example 1, wherein only the embedding astaxanthin sugar-based whey protein isolate nanoparticles in step S4 is replaced by embedding astaxanthin phospholipid liposome nanoparticles, the preparation method of which is as follows:

[0071] 1 g of phospholipid and 50 mg of astaxanthin are dissolved in 10 mL of ethanol, 2 g of sugar alcohol is added, and after being mixed well, a dry powder is obtained by rotary evaporation at 60°C and 1000 rpm. A small amount of powder is hydrated to obtain astaxanthin-embedded liposomes.

[0072] The preparation method of the probiotic biomimetic nanoparticles is as follows:

[0073] S4, 1 g of astaxanthin-embedded phospholipid liposome nanoparticles is added to 10 mL of the cell wall suspension solution prepared in S3 (cell wall concentration is 1 mg / mL), and incubated at 37°C for 24 hours under vacuum conditions. The probiotic biomimetic nanoparticles carrying food functional factors are obtained by centrifugation. The vacuum condition is 0.1 MPa, the centrifugal force is 8000 rpm / min, and the centrifugation time is 6 minutes.

[0074] The embedding rate of the probiotic on the phospholipid liposome nanoparticles is 80±4.52%, and the astaxanthin retention rate in the simulated gastrointestinal digestion is more than 90%, indicating that the method described in Example 1 has a certain universality.

[0075] Example 5

[0076] I. The probiotic cell shadow carrier obtained in Example 1 is subjected to SEM scanning electron microscopy imaging. The SEM scanning electron microscopy imaging results show that the probiotic cell shadow morphology is intact, the cell shadow outer wall has pores, and there is no probiotic sub-organ inside, indicating that the probiotic cell shadow carrier is successfully prepared.

[0077] II. The probiotic biomimetic nanoparticles obtained in Example 1 are subjected to ultrathin sectioning and transmission electron microscopy imaging. Compared with the single probiotic cell shadow, the probiotic nanoparticles have astaxanthin-embedded sugar-based whey protein isolate nanoparticles, as shown in Figure 4 , indicating that the probiotic cell shadow successfully embeds sugar-based whey protein isolate nanoparticles.

[0078] III. Metabolic kinetics analysis is performed on the probiotic biomimetic nanoparticles obtained in Example 1, as shown in Figure 5 , the results show that the astaxanthin content in the blood of the probiotic biomimetic nanoparticle group is higher than that of the astaxanthin nanoparticle group and the free astaxanthin group. At the same time, as shown in Figure 6 , it is also found that the astaxanthin content in the mouse liver of the probiotic biomimetic nanoparticle group is higher than that of the astaxanthin nanoparticle group and the free astaxanthin group.

[0079] Four, take the probiotic biomimetic nanoparticles obtained in Example 1 to intervene in non-alcoholic fatty liver.

[0080] The non-alcoholic fatty liver experiment was carried out by using 6-week-old C57BL / 6 male mice, and the experiment was divided into 5 groups, namely a blank group, a model group, an astaxanthin group (AXT), an astaxanthin nanoparticle group (AWG) and a probiotic biomimetic nanoparticle group (AWG@LBGs). From the 0th day, except that the blank group was fed with a control feed, the rest groups were fed with a high-fat feed lacking in choline for 8 weeks, and then nutritional intervention was carried out. The astaxanthin group, the astaxanthin nanoparticle group and the probiotic biomimetic nanoparticle group were respectively given free astaxanthin, astaxanthin nanoparticles and probiotic biomimetic nanoparticles samples containing an equal amount of astaxanthin (300 mg / each / day) 0.2 mL for intervention for 6 weeks. The blank group and the model group were given normal saline. After six weeks, the mice were sacrificed, and the tissues and organs of the mice were taken out.
