Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of biotechnology, and more particularly to a method for efficiently extracting biological fermentation products. Background Art

[0002] The downstream technology of microbial fermentation engineering is the technology of separating, extracting, processing and refining biological raw materials obtained from various bio-industrial production processes such as microbial fermentation broth, animal and plant cell tissue culture broth, enzyme reaction broth, etc., and finally making them into products. In microbial fermentation production, separation and purification are important links to finally obtain commercial products. The characteristics of the downstream technology processing process of microbial fermentation engineering are mainly manifested as: complex raw material system, a wide variety of products, low content, variability, and empirical. Generally, the desired product has a low concentration in the fermentation broth, and is often sensitive to heat, acid, alkali, organic solvents, shear force, etc., and is easily inactivated or degraded. However, the content of other substances in the fermentation broth is very high, such as residual fermentation medium and other metabolites, which increases the difficulty of product separation and purification. The extraction method shows superiority in separation due to its characteristics of less product loss and low equipment cost. However, due to the particularity of the fermentation broth, such as high viscosity, large mass transfer resistance, demanding requirements for solvents, and cell-affected fluid dynamics, it is greatly restricted in the separation of fermentation products. At present, there are various methods for separation and purification of products. Patent CN109880770A uses a two-phase aqueous extraction method to extract β-farnesene from the fermentation broth with a separation yield of 88.2% and a purity of more than 95%, which effectively improves the yield and purity; Patent CN112022779A uses ultrafiltration membrane filtration and ceramic membrane contactor to achieve the extraction and purification of various cosmetic water-retaining substances; Patent CN116836098A extracts astaxanthin through ethyl acetate and secondary extraction of astaxanthin with supercritical carbon dioxide, thereby achieving a total extraction rate of more than 82% from yeast wet cells to astaxanthin concentrate. Although the above methods all achieve efficient extraction of products, their versatility is poor.

[0003] Therefore, providing an efficient extraction method for biological fermentation products is an urgent problem to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a method for efficiently extracting biological fermentation products, which improves the technology for separation and purification of fermentation products. On the basis of ensuring the purity of various fermentation products, the applicability of the method is improved, and a technical reference is provided for subsequent separation and purification of fermentation products.

[0005] The present invention provides a method for separating and purifying fermentation products with strong versatility. Experiments have shown that better separation and purification of glucosamine, inositol, sialic acid and the like can be achieved. Experimental verification shows that after using the method to separate, purify and crystallize the above-mentioned various fermentation products, the purity of the obtained crystals can reach more than 85%. The method has strong versatility and is more suitable for industrial production.

[0009] (2) Filtration and impurity removal: The liquid treated in step (1) is initially filtered through a ceramic membrane to remove proteins and bacteria in the fermentation liquid;

[0010] (3) Sterilization by heating, enzyme inactivation and impurity removal: The liquid obtained in step (2) is subjected to heating by steam heating to sterilize and enzyme inactivation, thereby further inactivating the bacteria or protein therein; the liquid after the heating treatment is added to diatomaceous earth for heat preservation, stirring and adsorption for 30-60 minutes; the liquid after the treatment is filtered through a ceramic membrane to remove impurities, and a clear liquid is obtained;

[0011] (4) Decolorization and desalination: Add 5-10 kg / m 3 The activated carbon is decolorized by controlling the temperature at 50-70℃ for 30-60min of adsorption reaction, and the activated carbon is removed by filtration. The clear and transparent liquid obtained after the treatment is treated with a nanofiltration membrane to remove small pigment molecules and salt ions therein;

[0019] When the fermentation engineering bacteria is yeast, the pore size of the ceramic membrane is selected to be 80-200nm.

[0020] Furthermore, the sterilization and enzyme inactivation in step (3) is carried out by heating with high temperature steam, maintaining the temperature in the range of 50-80°C for 1-2h; and if the antioxidant added in step (1) is ascorbic acid or sodium ascorbate, the temperature should be controlled not to exceed 65°C.

[0021] Furthermore, the amount of diatomaceous earth added in step (3) is 1-3 kg / m 3 .

[0022] Furthermore, the pore size of the ceramic membrane in step (3) should not be larger than the pore size of the ceramic membrane in step (2).

[0023] Furthermore, in step (4), the pore size of the nanofiltration membrane is 100-200 Da, the operating pressure is 3-6 bar, and the temperature is 30-45°C.

[0024] Furthermore, the chromatographic separation in step (5) uses at least one of a macroporous adsorption resin, a cation exchange resin and an anion resin; the selection of the chromatographic resin needs to be based on the properties of the product itself. If the product is neutral, a macroporous adsorption resin can be selected for selective adsorption; if the product itself contains carboxyl or amino polar groups, the corresponding anionic and cationic lipids should be selected for adsorption.

9. The method for efficiently extracting a biological fermentation product according to claim 8, characterized in that: The reverse osmosis membrane of step (5) has a pore size of 10-100 Da, an operating pressure of 0.5-5.0 bar, and a temperature of 20-45°C.

10. The method for efficiently extracting a biological fermentation product according to claim 9, characterized in that: The organic solvent in step (6) is ethanol, methanol, acetic acid, isopropanol or acetone.
