Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a method for extracting peanut meal protein with a natural low eutectic solvent, belonging to the technical field of peanut processing. Background Art

[0002] Peanut meal contains a variety of sugars, flavonoids and protein compounds as well as essential elements for the human body such as potassium, calcium, iron, sodium, zinc, and magnesium. It has high nutritional value, but most peanut meal resources are not fully utilized at present. Peanut meal contains 40% to 50% peanut protein, which has good emulsification, water retention and foaming ability. In addition, compared with soy protein, peanut protein is easier to absorb when the activity and functional properties are similar. Peanut protein is rich in amino acids, of which the essential amino acids for the human body are as high as 38.29%, and the umami amino acids in the non-essential amino acids are relatively high, so it can be used to develop flavored foods.

[0003] The commonly used methods for extracting peanut protein from peanut meal are mainly alkali dissolution and acid precipitation and alcohol washing. The alkali dissolution and acid precipitation method is simple to operate, but the extraction time is long, and it will produce wastewater, which may cause environmental pollution, and the acid-base treatment will cause a certain degree of damage to the structure and properties of the protein; the alcohol washing method has a simple process and ethanol is recyclable, so the extraction cost is low, it is suitable for large-scale production, and will not cause environmental pollution, but the extraction time is long, and ethanol treatment will have an adverse effect on the properties of the protein, reducing the protein's potency nitrogen solubility index and nitrogen solubility index.

[0004] Deep eutectic solvent (DES) is a homogeneous liquid mixture formed by hydrogen bond donors (HBD) and hydrogen bond acceptors (HBA) at a specific molar ratio through intermolecular hydrogen bonds. Natural deep eutectic solvent (NADES) is a subclass of DES. Because its HBA and HBD are both non-toxic and harmless natural derivative compounds, it is called the third solvent in living cells. NADES is simple to prepare and has good biodegradability, low cytotoxicity and reusability. In terms of physicochemical properties, NADE is not volatile, viscosity and polarity can be adjusted, and it has good solubility for a variety of compounds. In addition, due to the "designability" of NADES, it can be freely combined to adapt to different applications by selecting different HBA and HBD. Therefore, the use of NADES to extract natural biological compounds from various natural biological components has an excellent development prospect in the extraction of natural biological compounds, which has great theoretical and practical significance for the extraction of peanut meal protein in the future, and provides ideas for the processing of peanut protein in my country.

[0029] Example 1 Method for extracting peanut meal protein using a natural deep eutectic solvent

[0030] (I) Preparation of natural deep eutectic solvents

[0031] 1) 25.87 g of choline chloride and 34.13 g of glycerol were mixed, which was recorded as CG; 28.71 g of choline chloride and 31.29 g of xylitol were mixed, which was recorded as CX;

[0032] 2) the two groups of mixtures obtained in step 1) were subjected to magnetic stirring at 80° C. and a speed of 500 r / min for 40 min;

[0033] 3) cooling the two groups of mixtures obtained in step 2) to room temperature;

[0034] 4) The two groups of mixtures obtained in step 3) are diluted with water to reach a water content of 20%, thereby obtaining natural deep eutectic solvent CG and natural deep eutectic solvent CX.

[0035] (II) Peanut protein extraction

[0036] 5) mixing the peanut meal obtained in step 4) and the natural deep eutectic solvent in a ratio of 1:15 (g / g) and recording them as CG or CX;

[0037] The peanut meal and deionized water were mixed in a ratio of 1:12 (g / g) and recorded as the alkali-soluble and acid-precipitated group;

[0038] 6) heating and stirring the peanut meal solvent mixture of CG or CX obtained in step 5) at 60° C. and 500 r / min for 120 min; adjusting the pH of the alkali-dissolved and acid-precipitated mixture to 9.5 with 1.0 mol / L NaOH solution;

[0039] 7) cooling the CG or CX peanut meal solvent mixture obtained in step 6) to room temperature; heating the alkali-soluble and acid-precipitated mixture at 60° C. for 2 h;

[0040] 8) The CG or CX peanut meal solvent mixture obtained in step 7) was centrifuged at 5000 r / min for 10 min at 25° C.; the alkali-soluble and acid-precipitated mixture was centrifuged at 5000 r / min for 30 min;

[0041] 9) adding ethanol to the CG or CX supernatant obtained in step 8) for regeneration; the supernatant of the alkali-dissolved and acid-precipitated group is used

[0042] 1.0 mol / L HCl solution adjusted pH to 4.5;

[0043] 10) centrifuging the solution obtained in step 9) at 10000 r / min for 30 min at 4°C;

[0044] 11) washing the precipitate obtained in step 10) with ethanol;

[0045] 12) freeze-drying the precipitate obtained in step 11).

[0046] (III) Protein content determination

[0047] The protein content was determined by the Coomassie brilliant blue method, and a protein standard curve was drawn. The absorbance values ​​of the samples were determined and substituted into the regression equation to calculate the peanut protein content. The results are shown in Table 1. The extraction rates of natural deep eutectic solvent CG and natural deep eutectic solvent CX were 46.18% and 45.51%, respectively, and the protein purities were as high as 73.02% and 74.95%, respectively, which were significantly higher than 37.94% and 44.68% of the alkali dissolution and acid precipitation group (A1). This shows that the NADES extraction method has not only a higher extraction rate than the traditional alkali dissolution and acid precipitation method, but also a higher protein purity of the crude protein obtained.

[0049]

[0050] Note: The results are expressed as mean ± standard deviation. Different letters in the same column indicate significant differences among the groups (P < 0.05).

[0051] (IV) Physical and chemical properties of peanut protein

[0052] (1) SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE)

[0053] Gel Doc XR+ gel imaging was used to evaluate the protein content of peanut meal in different treatment groups. Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the approximate molecular weight of the sample protein subunits can be obtained by calculation. For the electrophoretic band on the left without the addition of β-mercaptoethanol, it is speculated from the literature that the high molecular weight subunit 65.2kDa is conarachidin II, the low molecular weight subunits 34.5, 30.2 and 23.6kDa are conarachidin, and 19.3 and 14.5kDa are conarachidin I. β-mercaptoethanol can reduce the disulfide bonds in protein molecules, so in the presence of β-mercaptoethanol, the polypeptide chains connected by disulfide bonds will dissociate into single peptide chains. Compared with the left side, it can be seen that the electrophoretic bands on the right side after adding β-mercaptoethanol are significantly increased, indicating that the sample protein contains intermolecular disulfide bonds. Regardless of whether β-mercaptoethanol is added, there is no obvious difference in the bands of the three groups of protein samples, but it can be seen that the bands of the crude protein sample extracted using NADES are darker in color, indicating that the protein content in the sample is higher.

[0054] (2) Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR)

[0055] The results of the FTIR-8400S infrared spectrometer are as follows: Figure 2 As shown, it can be seen that at 1000cm -1The infrared spectra of the proteins in each group were basically the same. The characteristic absorption peaks differed only in peak height, and there was almost no change in peak shift and peak shape, indicating that the various extraction methods had almost the same effect on the secondary structure of the protein. -1 The difference in the subsequent absorption peaks may be the result of the residual NADES.

[0056] (2) UV-visible absorption spectrum

[0057] The conformational changes of proteins were determined using a UV-2550 ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer. Figure 3 The peak positions and absorbances of UV-visible absorption spectra of peanut protein in CG and CX groups are almost the same, and the peak positions of UV-visible absorption spectra of peanut protein in Al group are also the same as those of the first two, but the absorbance is higher than that of the first two, which indicates that the content of aromatic amino acids on the surface of the protein is higher. The acid-base treatment during the alkaline extraction process will unfold the protein molecular structure, exposing the tryptophan and tyrosine residues buried inside the protein molecules. The NADES extraction process does not change the structure of the protein molecule, so there will be differences in absorbance.

[0058] (2) Fluorescence emission spectrum measurement

[0059] The results of the Cary Eclipse fluorescence spectrophotometer are as follows Figure 4 As shown in the figure, there is no obvious difference in the fluorescence emission spectra of peanut proteins in the CG group and the CX group, while the peanut protein in the Al group undergoes a red shift and the fluorescence intensity also increases, indicating that the protein molecules unfold after acid-base treatment and the tyrosine residues inside the molecules are exposed, which is consistent with the results of the UV-visible absorption spectrum.
