Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of food processing, and particularly relates to a preparation method and application of a highly water-soluble astragaloside IV complex. Background Art

[0002] Radix Astragali is one of the commonly used Chinese medicines. It is the dried root of Astragalusmembranaceus (Fischer) Bunge and A.membranaceus (Fisch.) Bungevar.mongholicus (Bunge) PKHsiao, both of the leguminous plants. Astragalosides IV (ASI) is a saponin compound with multiple pharmacological activities isolated from Radix Astragali and is an indicator component for the quality identification of Radix Astragali preparations. Studies have shown that Astragalosides IV has a wide range of pharmacological effects in the cardiovascular, immune, nervous, digestive, urinary, circulatory and endocrine systems. It is reported that Astragalosides IV can reduce the increased permeability of the blood-brain barrier caused by cerebral ischemia-reperfusion; it has a protective effect on ischemic brain damage; it exerts anti-cancer activity by regulating the expression of oncogenes; it has a hypoglycemic effect on diabetic mice; it has strong anti-hepatitis B virus activity; it can effectively inhibit or reverse PS-induced liver fibrosis in mouse models; its Chinese medicine preparation has been developed as a myocardial protective agent for the treatment of angina pectoris in coronary heart disease. However, practice shows that the content of astragaloside IV in Astragalus is extremely low and is greatly affected by the origin and season, generally about 0.04%. It is difficult to extract and separate, and the traditional extraction process is relatively complicated. Therefore, developing a relatively simple method that can increase the content of astragaloside IV has positive significance for the application and development of Astragalus. Astragaloside IV has poor water solubility and low bioavailability, which limits its development and use in the fields of food and health products. In order to improve the water solubility of astragaloside IV, some researchers have increased its water solubility through chemical modification, such as improving its physicochemical properties through derivatization; there are also studies to improve bioavailability by preparing nanosuspensions, polymer micelles, etc. The above-mentioned methods of improving the water solubility of astragaloside IV through chemical methods limit its application in the food field. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a simple and efficient method to improve the water solubility of astragaloside IV while also expanding its development in the food field. Chitosan oligosaccharide is a natural polymer with abundant sources. It is the only positively charged alkaline aminopolysaccharide among natural sugars. It has multiple biological activities such as anti-oxidation, anti-bacterial, anti-diabetic, and anti-tumor. At present, there is no report on the research of using chitosan oligosaccharide to improve the water solubility of astragaloside IV. Therefore, the present invention uses chitosan oligosaccharide and astragaloside IV to prepare a highly water-soluble astragaloside IV complex. Summary of the invention

[0003] Technical problems to be solved: In view of the above technical problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a preparation method and application of a highly water-soluble astragaloside IV complex.

[0004] Technical solution: A highly water-soluble astragaloside IV complex, wherein the astragaloside IV complex is specifically an astragaloside IV-chitosan oligosaccharide complex.

Take the astragalus powder, dissolve it in water, add cellulase, and perform enzymatic hydrolysis to obtain an enzymatic solution; S3. Glucose, peptone, dipotassium hydrogen phosphate and sodium acetate were added to the enzymatic solution, and the pH was adjusted to 7.0-7.2 to obtain a fermentation medium; S4. The single colony of Lactobacillus casei was inoculated into MRS liquid medium and cultured in a shaking incubator at 30-37°C and 80-100 r / min for 20-24 h to obtain a Lactobacillus casei seed solution; S5. The Lactobacillus casei seed solution was inoculated into the fermentation medium, and then an appropriate amount of sterile water was added to make the water content of the fermentation system 30-40%, mixed evenly, and fermented for 4-5 days to obtain a fermentation broth; S6. Soak the fermentation broth in ethanol and extract with n-butanol, and separate and purify the obtained extract with macroporous resin to obtain astragaloside IV. Furthermore, in step S2, the solid-liquid ratio of astragalus coarse powder to water is 1:(10-15). Furthermore, in step S2, the amount of cellulase added is 0.5-0.7%; the enzymatic hydrolysis time is 50-60 minutes, and the enzymatic hydrolysis temperature is 50-55°C. Furthermore, in step S3, the amount of glucose added is 30-80 g / L, the amount of peptone added is 30-80 g / L, the amount of dipotassium hydrogen phosphate added is 0.4-0.6 g / L, and the amount of sodium acetate added is 0.8-1.2 g / L. Furthermore, in step S5, the inoculation amount of Lactobacillus casei seed liquid is 2-5%. Furthermore, a method for preparing a highly water-soluble astragaloside IV complex comprises the following steps: Step 1: Weigh 5-8 parts of astragaloside IV and 3-4 parts of chitosan oligosaccharide, dissolve in deionized water, and stir evenly to obtain a mixed solution; Step 2: Centrifuge the mixed solution at 800-1000 r / min for 8-10 min and take the supernatant; Step 3: spray-dry the supernatant at 80-120° C. and 0.5-5 L / h to obtain the astragaloside IV complex. Furthermore, the astragaloside IV complex prepared by the preparation method can be used in food and health care products. Beneficial effects: 1. The present invention uses astragalus as a raw material, adds cellulase, and the enzymolysis solution obtained after enzymolysis can improve the leaching of effective ingredients in astragalus. The use of the astragalus enzymolysis solution is more conducive to the subsequent extraction of astragaloside IV in astragalus by lactobacillus casei during the fermentation process, thereby having a positive impact on the fermentation process and improving the quality of the fermented product; the present invention sequentially adopts a two-step method of cellulase enzymolysis and lactobacillus casei fermentation to prepare astragaloside IV, replacing the traditional physical and chemical method, avoiding the environmental pollution problem caused by the physical and chemical method, and the extraction method of the present invention is more conducive to improving the content and purity of astragaloside IV in astragalus; 2. The present invention adopts a spray drying method to prepare an astragaloside IV-chitosan oligosaccharide complex.

Performance Test: (2) Solubility determination An excess amount of the astragaloside IV complexes prepared in Examples 7-14 and the astragaloside IV prepared in Comparative Example 3 were placed in a brown glass bottle, 5 mL of water was added, and the mixture was vortexed for one hour. The amount dissolved was the solubility of astragaloside IV. Table 2 Solubility of Astragaloside Ⅳ prepared in Examples and Comparative Examples sample Solubility (mg / mL) sample Solubility (mg / mL) Example 7 13.6 Example 12 13.5 Example 8 13.8 Embodiment 13 13.7 Example 9 14.1 Embodiment 14 14.0 Example 10 14.2 Comparative Example 3 8.6 Embodiment 11 13.9 As can be seen from Table 2, the solubility of the astragaloside complex prepared in Examples 7-14 is 13.5-14.2 mg / mL, while the solubility of astragaloside IV prepared in Comparative Example 3 without adding chitosan oligosaccharide is only 8.6 mg / mL, which confirms that the addition of chitosan oligosaccharide allows astragaloside IV to form a stable complex with chitosan oligosaccharide through non-covalent interactions such as hydrogen bonds or van der Waals forces, thereby significantly improving the solubility of astragaloside IV in water. (3) Antioxidant assay 1) DPPH free radical scavenging rate The astragaloside IV complex prepared in Example 10 and the astragaloside IV prepared in Comparative Example 3 were selected and prepared into sample solutions of 0.0024, 0.012, 0.024, 0.12, 0.24 and 1.2 mg / mL with 50% methanol. Accurately measure 1 mL of the above test solution, add 1 mL of 0.1 mmol / L DPPH solution respectively, shake well, react at room temperature in the dark for 30 minutes, take 200 μL, and measure the absorbance A1 at a wavelength of 517 nm; take an equal volume of 50% methanol to replace the DPPH solution, and measure the absorbance A2 at a wavelength of 517 nm; take an equal volume of 50% methanol to replace the sample solution, and measure the absorbance A3 at a wavelength of 517 nm; take the absorbance value of VC as the positive control, and calculate the clearance rate according to the following formula: DPPH free radical scavenging rate (%) = [1-(A1-A2) / A3] × 100% Depend on Figure 1 It can be seen that with the increase of the concentration of astragaloside IV complex, the scavenging rate of DPPH free radicals also gradually increased. When the concentration is above 0.024 mg / mL, the DPPH scavenging rate can reach more than 50%, and the antioxidant effect is due to astragaloside IV, indicating that the antioxidant activity of astragaloside IV complex is improved compared with astragaloside IV. 2) ABTS free radical scavenging rate Mix 7.4mmol / LABTS solution and 2.6mmol / LK2S2O8 solution in a ratio of 1:1, keep in the dark at room temperature for 16h, dilute with ethanol to an absorbance of 0.70±0.02 (at 734nm wavelength), and use it immediately after preparation. The astragaloside IV complex prepared in Example 10 and the astragaloside IV prepared in Comparative Example 3 were selected and prepared into sample solutions of 0.0024, 0.012, 0.024, 0.12, 0.24 and 1.2 mg / mL with 50% methanol. 0.1 mL of the above sample solutions were measured, 3.9 mL of ABTS solution was added to each, shaken well, and allowed to stand at room temperature in the dark for 6 min. 200 μL was taken and the absorbance A1 was measured at 734 nm absorption wavelength; an equal volume of anhydrous ethanol was taken to replace the ABTS working solution, and the absorbance A2 was measured at 734 nm wavelength; an equal volume of 50% methanol was taken to replace the sample solution, and the absorbance A3 was measured at 734 nm wavelength. The absorbance value of VC was used as the positive control, and the clearance rate was calculated according to the following formula: ABTS free radical scavenging rate (%) = [1-(A1-A2) / A3] × 100% Depend on Figure 2It can be seen that with the increase of the concentration of astragaloside IV complex, the scavenging effect on ABTS free radicals also gradually increases, and the scavenging rate of astragaloside IV complex is higher than that of astragaloside IV alone. The higher the scavenging rate, the stronger the antioxidant activity of the sample. It can be seen that the astragaloside IV-chitosan oligosaccharide complex prepared by the addition of chitosan oligosaccharides is beneficial to improving the antioxidant properties of astragaloside IV. (4) Hypoglycemic effect 1) α-amylase activity inhibition assay Take an appropriate amount of the astragaloside complex prepared in Example 10 and the astragaloside prepared in Comparative Example 3, dissolve and dilute with distilled water to form sample solutions with mass concentrations of 20, 10, 5, 2.5, 1.25, and 0.625 mg / mL, add 40 μL of PBS solution, 40 μL of sample solution, and 20 μL of α-amylase solution to a 96-well plate, mix, react at 37° C. for 10 min, add 30 μL of soluble starch solution, mix, react at 37° C. for 10 min, add 20 μL of HCl solution to terminate the reaction, and finally add 120 μL of iodine solution, mix, and measure the absorbance A1 at a wavelength of 565 nm; take an equal volume of PBS solution instead of the starch solution, and measure the absorbance A2 at a wavelength of 565 nm; take an equal volume of PBS solution instead of the sample and α-amylase solution, and measure the absorbance A3 at a wavelength of 565 nm. Acarbose with a mass concentration of 20, 10, 5, 2.5, 1.25, and 0.625 mg / mL was used as a positive control. The test was repeated three times in parallel, and the average value was taken to calculate the inhibition rate of α-amylase activity according to the following formula: Inhibition rate (%) = [1-(A1-A2) / A3] × 100% Depend on Figure 3 It can be seen that acarbose did not show dose dependence, and the inhibition of astragaloside IV and astragaloside IV complex on α-amylase was concentration-dependent, with the astragaloside IV complex being more obvious. This shows that after astragaloside IV prepared by enzymatic and fermentation methods is combined with chitosan oligosaccharides, the complex can enhance the inhibitory effect on α-amylase, thereby achieving a hypoglycemic effect. 2) α-Glucosidase inhibition assay Take an appropriate amount of the astragaloside complex prepared in Example 10 and the astragaloside prepared in Comparative Example 3, dissolve and dilute with distilled water to form sample solutions with mass concentrations of 2, 1, 0.5, 0.25, 0.125, and 0.0625 mg / mL, add 145 μL of PBS solution, 15 μL of each sample solution, and 15 μL of α-glucosidase to a 96-well plate, mix, react at 37°C for 10 min, add 15 μL of PNPG, mix, react at 37°C for 20 min, then add 60 μL of Na2CO3, and measure the absorbance A1 at a wavelength of 405 nm; take an equal volume of PBS solution to replace α-glucosidase, and measure the absorbance A2 at a wavelength of 405 nm; take an equal volume of PBS solution to replace PNPG, and measure the absorbance A3 at a wavelength of 405 nm. Acarbose with a mass concentration of 2, 1, 0.5, 0.25, 0.125, and 0.0625 mg / mL was used as a positive control, and the results were repeated 3 times. The average value was taken and the α-glucosidase inhibition rate was calculated according to the following formula: Inhibition rate (%) = [1-(A1-A2) / A3] × 100% Depend on Figure 4 It can be seen that acarbose has the strongest inhibition rate on α-glucosidase, and the inhibitory effect of astragaloside IV complex is higher than that of astragaloside IV, indicating that the complex prepared by combining chitosan oligosaccharides and astragaloside IV can enhance the inhibitory effect on α-glucosidase and lower blood sugar by delaying the absorption of glucose.
