Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of fermentation, and in particular relates to a strain of Lactobacillus breve. Background Art
[0002] Sauerkraut is a traditional food that is made by naturally fermenting the juice extracted from cabbage using salt. The complex flora (lactic acid bacteria, enterobacteria, pseudomonas and yeast) in the raw materials and the environment make the fermentation process of sauerkraut uncontrollable, resulting in prolonged fermentation time and unstable product quality, which in turn becomes a bottleneck for industrial fermentation. Due to the spontaneity of the sauerkraut production process, the vegetable raw materials are not sterilized, so during the fermentation process, corrupt microorganisms multiply in large numbers, causing the sauerkraut to spoil. Generally, in the late fermentation stage, corrupt microorganisms use the residual sugar or organic acid in the sauerkraut brine as a carbon source or energy source to reproduce and metabolize, which increases the pH of the sauerkraut system, forms a corrupt film, and produces an unpleasant odor. The plant cell wall degrading enzymes produced by metabolism soften the sauerkraut tissue, causing the sauerkraut to spoil. Common spoilage microorganisms of sauerkraut include Pichia kudriavzevii, Geotrichum candidum and Bacillus, especially Pichia kudriavzevii, which can cause discoloration, film formation, softening of tissue, and production of odor, thus leading to spoilage of sauerkraut. The presence of spoilage microorganisms can cause potential food safety problems and lead to significant economic losses.
[0003] At present, the main methods for controlling sauerkraut spoilage bacteria are chemical, physical and biological methods. In the chemical method, high-salinity pickling is generally used to inhibit spoilage bacteria, but this method also has obvious disadvantages, such as limiting the growth of certain normal fermentation bacteria, thereby inhibiting the formation of unique flavor. In the physical method, heat treatment is the most commonly used method, but this method will also lead to the loss of sensory and nutritional properties of sauerkraut. Biological methods have become the main research direction in recent years due to their safety, but how to select suitable strains to control sauerkraut spoilage is a key issue. Northeastern sauerkraut, as a typical representative of sauerkraut, is widely consumed in northern my country for its unique flavor and potential health benefits, but there is also the problem of sauerkraut spoilage bacteria contamination. Screening lactic acid bacteria that have the effect of inhibiting Northeastern sauerkraut spoilage bacteria can effectively control the occurrence of Northeastern sauerkraut spoilage, improve product quality, and extend the shelf life of commodities. At present, there is no report on the inhibition of Northeastern sauerkraut spoilage bacteria by Lactobacillus breve. Summary of the invention

[0046] In December 2022, naturally fermented sauerkraut samples were collected from farmers in Acheng District, Harbin. The fermented broth of the sauerkraut sample was diluted 10 times with sterile saline and vortexed to obtain the sauerkraut brine sample. 5 mL of the sauerkraut brine sample was transferred to 45 mL of sterile water and shaken to obtain a dilution (10 -110-fold gradient dilution), pipette 0.5 mL of the diluent into a sterilized test tube containing 4.5 mL of distilled water and continue to dilute by 10 times. Repeat the previous step until the dilution reaches the appropriate gradient. Select 3 appropriate dilution gradients (10 -4 times, 10 -5 Times and 10 -6 0.1 mL of the dilution (times) was applied evenly to an MRS solid medium containing methylene phenol green (final concentration 0.1 g / L) and cultured at 37°C for 48 hours. After the colonies grow, pick the yellow or yellow-green colonies and streak them on an MRS solid medium containing methylene phenol green (final concentration 0.1 g / L). Repeat 3-5 times until pure colonies are obtained. Pick a single colony for Gram staining and microscopic examination. By observing the size, color and other characteristics of different colonies, select a single colony for microscopic examination, observe the characteristics such as bacterial morphology, and screen out Gram-positive strains. The strain obtained by the above method was named strain HSDF-1bn-2023, which was used in subsequent experiments.
[0047] Use an inoculation loop to pick up a single colony of HSDF-lbn-2023 isolated and purified on an MRS solid medium plate, inoculate it into MRS solid medium, and culture it in a 37°C constant temperature incubator for 48 hours before taking it out and observing the colony morphology. Figure 1 As shown, the colonies of HSDF-lbn-2023 are round and shiny, white in color and do not produce pigments. The bacteria are short rod-shaped with a length-to-width ratio of 4:1-2:1.
[0048] The strain HSDF-lbn-2023 was subjected to physiological and biochemical identification tests to preliminarily identify the strain. The identification method includes the following steps: using an inoculation loop to pick a purified cultured HSDF-lbn-2023 single colony from an MRS plate and inoculate it into a physiological and biochemical identification tube, sealing it with a sealing film, placing it in a 37°C constant temperature incubator for 48 hours, and then taking it out. According to the color reaction of the identification tube, it is compared with the instructions for use of the physiological and biochemical identification tube to determine the test results. The identification results are shown in Table 1. It can be seen that the strain HSDF-lbn-2023 can utilize esculin and maltose.

[0055] Example 2 Spoilage bacteria pks
[0056] In October 2023, naturally fermented sauerkraut liquid was collected from farmers in Daoli District, Harbin, Heilongjiang Province. After the sauerkraut liquid was placed in a sterile reagent bottle and transported back to the laboratory at low temperature, 5 mL of the fermented sauerkraut liquid was taken and thoroughly mixed in 45 mL of sterile water. 0.5 mL of the dilution was drawn into a sterilized small test tube containing 4.5 mL of distilled water and continued to dilute 10 times. After vortexing, 10 -4 , 10 -5 , 10 -6 , 10 -7 Spread 0.1 mL of the dilution gradient on PDA medium and culture at 28°C for 48 h. After the colonies grow, pick a single colony and streak it on PDA medium. Repeat 3-5 times until pure colonies are obtained.
[0057] The spoilage bacteria were screened by the following method: the strain was inoculated into YPD liquid medium, and the second-generation bacterial solution was obtained after shaking culture at 28°C and 150 r / min for 24 h. The second-generation bacterial solution was then inoculated into YPD liquid medium at a 1% (volume percentage) inoculation rate, and the culture was placed in a constant temperature shaker at 28°C and 150 r / min for 24 h to obtain the third-generation bacterial solution, ensuring that the number of viable bacteria was about 1×10 8 CFU / mL. Cut fresh cabbage into slices, weigh, add sterile saline (final concentration of sodium chloride is 2%, mass percentage), inoculate with bacterial solution, inoculate at 2% (volume percentage), place in a sealed incubator at 22°C for 7 days, observe and record. At the same time, take naturally fermented samples as controls. Screen out strains that can make the brine of sauerkraut samples turbid, form a visible fragmented white film on the surface, have a strong sour smell, and soften the sauerkraut.
[0058] The strain with the best spoilage effect was screened out by the above method and named pks. pks was inoculated in PDA medium and placed in a constant temperature incubator at 28℃ for 48h. It was observed that the colonies of the spoilage bacteria pks on the PDA medium were white and had a dragon-like shape. The colonies were larger ( Figure 2 Left image); Microscopic examination shows an irregular spindle shape, with a round shield at one end and a pointed end, with a length-to-width ratio of 1:1 to 3:1 ( Figure 2 (right image).

The strain name is Pichia kudriavzevii HSDF-pks-2023, and the deposit number is CGMCC No.30584.
[0063] The pks was subjected to physiological and biochemical identification. The experimental method included the following steps: using an inoculation loop to pick a purified cultured pks single colony from a PDA plate and inoculate it into a physiological and biochemical identification tube, sealing it with a sealing film, placing it in a 37°C constant temperature incubator for 48 hours, and then taking it out.

HSDF-lbn-2023 bacterial solution was inoculated into MRS broth medium at a volume percentage of 1%, and cultured at 37°C for 24 hours to obtain HSDF-lbn-2023 bacterial solution.
[0091] A control group and an experimental group were set up. The control group: the pks suspension (prepared by the method of Example 2) was inoculated into sauerkraut juice at an inoculation amount of 2% (volume percentage); the experimental group (lbn-pks): the HSDF-lbn-2023 bacterial liquid and the pks suspension (prepared by the method of Example 2) were inoculated into sauerkraut juice together, the inoculation amount of the HSDF-lbn-2023 bacterial liquid was 2% (volume percentage), and the inoculation amount of the pks suspension was 2% (volume percentage).
[0092] The fermentation was carried out in a sealed container at 12°C for 7 days. After the fermentation, the pH, pks viable bacterial count, biofilm formation, organic acid content and biogenic amine content in the sauerkraut fermentation liquid were measured.
[0093] (1) Determination of the number of live spoilage bacteria: The number of colonies of pks grown on PDA medium was counted using the plate counting method according to the following literature method. Literature: Zhang, Feng, et al. Microbial composition of spoiled industrial-scale Sichuan paocai and characteristics of the microorganisms responsible for paocai spoilage. International journal of food microbiology, 2018, 275: 32-38.
[0094] The change of viable bacterial count of HSDF-1bn-2023 on pks is as follows Figure 3 As shown. Figure 3 It can be seen that the number of live bacteria in the experimental group was significantly reduced compared with the control group, which is consistent with the test results of the Oxford cup inhibition zone method, indicating that HSDF-1bn-2023 has a significant inhibitory effect on the number of live bacteria in pks. The number of live bacteria of spoilage bacteria in lbn-pks is 5.00×10 6CFU / mL, it is speculated that this may be due to the fact that strain HSDF-1bn-2023 produces metabolites with antibacterial activity such as cyclopeptides, bacteriocins and organic acids that inhibit the growth of spoilage bacteria. Therefore, strain HSDF-1bn-2023 can be used to extend the shelf life of food.
[0095] (2) Determination of the amount of biofilm formed by spoilage bacteria: The method of the following literature was used to observe whether there was biofilm formation on the surface of the sauerkraut fermentation liquid, and the biofilm dry weight method was used to determine it. Literature: Yang Lu, Qin Shuman, Li Zhihong, et al. Inhibitory effect of eugenol on biofilm at the air-liquid interface of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens [J]. Journal of Food Science and Technology, 2023, 41(01): 88-98.
[0096] The formation of film is the most typical feature of spoilage of Northeastern pickled cabbage products. Film formation significantly reduces the sensory quality of Northeastern pickled cabbage by softening its texture and producing odor. pks forms biofilm in the Northeastern pickled cabbage environment, with high film formation, which is very harmful to the production of Northeastern pickled cabbage. Figure 4 As shown, the changes in the amount of biofilm formed by HSDF-1bn-2023 on pks are as follows Figure 5 As shown. Figure 5 It can be seen that the amount of biofilm formation in the experimental group was reduced compared with the control group pks, indicating that HSDF-1bn-2023 has an inhibitory effect on the amount of biofilm formation in pks, and the amount of biofilm formation in lbn-pks is 0.021g. HSDF-1bn-2023 can reduce the formation of biofilm by inhibiting the growth of spoilage bacteria.
[0097] (3) Determination of pH: The pH of the fermented cabbage liquid was directly measured using a FiveEasy Plus pH meter. The change in pH is one of the important indicators for measuring the fermentation of sauerkraut and can affect the progress of sauerkraut fermentation. Figure 6 As shown. Figure 6 It can be seen that the pH of the experimental group decreased compared with the control group pks, and the lowest pH of lbn-pks was 3.34.
[0098] (4) Determination of organic acids: The content of organic acids in the fermented broth was determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The determination was carried out using the method of the following literature: Luo, Y., Liu, Y., Ren, T., Wang, B., Peng, Y., Zeng, S., & Su, Y. Sichuan paocai fermented by mixed-starter culture of lactic acid bacteria. Food Science & Nutrition, 2020, 8(10): 5402-5409.
[0099] Acid production is considered to be the most important mechanism by which lactic acid bacteria inhibit spoilage bacteria. The inhibitory effect of lactic acid bacteria on spoilage bacteria is mainly due to the production of organic acids. The inhibitory effect of organic acids is caused by undissociated molecules, which dominate in low pH environments. Figure 7 As shown. Figure 7 It can be seen that compared with the control group pks, the organic acid content of the experimental group increased, and the organic acid content of lbn-pks was the highest at 62.10 mg / mL, indicating that HSDF-1bn-2023 inhibited the growth of pks under acid stress.
[0100] (5) Determination of biogenic amines: The content of biogenic amines in sauerkraut fermentation broth was determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The determination was carried out using the method of the following literature: **YH, Lee J, Pawluk AM, et al. Inhibitory effects of nicotinic acid, glycine, and other food additives on biogenic amineformation in Baechu kimchi fermentation[J]. Lwt, 2022, 155: 112921.
[0101] Spoilage bacteria can decarboxylate amino acids into biogenic amines (BAs), such as histamine, cadaverine, putrescine, or tyramine. Ingestion of foods high in BAs can have health effects, such as migraines, increased blood pressure, and increased heart rate. Figure 8 As shown. Figure 8It can be seen that compared with the control group pks, the content of biogenic amines in the experimental group lbn-pks was significantly reduced, with tyramine of 31.17 mg / L, histamine of 5.39 mg / L, cadaverine of 6.66 mg / L and putrescine of 7.56 mg / L in the experimental group. The strain HSDF-1bn-2023 provided by the present invention can improve food safety.
