Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of biotechnology, and in particular to a separation, purification and preparation process of gamma-aminobutyric acid. Background Art
[0002] γ-Aminobutyric acid (also known as 4-aminobutyric acid, γ-aminobutyric acid, abbreviated as GABA) is a naturally occurring non-protein amino acid and an important inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. It is produced by L-glutamate (L-glutamic acid, L-Glu) catalyzed irreversibly by L-glutamate decarboxylase (glutamic acid decarboxylase, GAD). It has multiple physiological functions, including improving sleep and treating depression, enhancing immunity, lowering blood pressure, improving visual cortex function, resisting obesity, reducing anxiety and menopausal syndrome, and treating epilepsy. However, the content of GABA produced endogenously in the human body is low, and it often needs to be supplemented exogenously to maintain human health.
[0003] The preparation methods of γ-aminobutyric acid mainly include chemical synthesis, plant enrichment, microbial fermentation and biotransformation. Chemical synthesis mainly uses γ-butyrolactone, γ-halogenated butyronitrile, 2-bromopropionic acid and glutaric anhydride as substrates to synthesize GABA. It has a fast reaction speed and high yield, but it has harsh conditions, high energy consumption, high cost, low yield and poor safety, and cannot be used in the fields of food and medicine. Enriching GABA from plants by low temperature or high salt stress treatment is simple, safe and environmentally friendly, but it has the limitations of low enrichment yield and high cost, which cannot meet market demand. The microbial fermentation method has a long production cycle, low production yield and difficult subsequent separation and extraction, which limits its industrial application. The biotransformation method, i.e., the whole-cell catalytic conversion method, is increasingly favored due to its advantages of simple operation, mild conditions, high raw material utilization, high conversion rate and low separation and purification cost. Although the prior art discloses the preparation of γ-aminobutyric acid by bioconversion, the reaction time is long; and coenzymes are required in the reaction process, which is costly; in addition, glutamic acid and γ-aminobutyric acid are not easy to separate. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a new method for extracting γ-aminobutyric acid with a simple production process, low cost and high yield. Summary of the invention
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is: in view of the deficiencies of the prior art, a separation and purification process for preparing γ-aminobutyric acid is provided, by which a γ-aminobutyric acid product with high yield, high purity and high yield can be obtained.
[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution of the present invention is:
[0006] A separation, purification and preparation process of γ-aminobutyric acid comprises the following steps:

[0014] As an improved technical solution, the concentration of the glutamate solution in step (1) is 500-800 g / L, the amount of whole cells containing glutamate decarboxylase added is such that the OD600 value of the reaction system is 10-50 OD / ml, the pH is adjusted to 4-5, the temperature of the reaction system is controlled to be 20-40° C., and the reaction time is 4-6 h; the calcium salt solution is a calcium chloride solution, and the concentration of calcium ions in the calcium salt solution is 6-12 mM.
[0015] As an improved technical solution, a ceramic membrane with a pore size of 50-200 nm is used for filtration in step (2).
[0016] As an improved technical solution, the extractant in step (3) is ethyl acetate, ethyl ether, petroleum ether or n-hexane, preferably n-hexane; the stirring speed is controlled to 100-300 rpm, and the stirring is performed for 0.5-1h.
[0017] As an improved technical solution, the organic phase in step (4) is adjusted to a pH of 1-3 and then enters a strong acid cationic resin column at a flow rate of 1-3 BV / h.
[0018] As an improved technical solution, the analytical agent in step (4) is a 5-15wt% potassium chloride solution.
[0019] As an improved technical solution, in step (4), before the organic phase enters the strong acid cationic resin column, the strong acid cationic resin column needs to be eluted with 20-30wt% sodium chloride solution and water until the conductivity of the effluent is less than 10us / cm, thereby obtaining a transformed cationic resin column.
[0020] As an improved technical solution, in step (5), a nanofiltration membrane with a molecular weight cutoff of 100-200Da is used for the first concentration, and thermal concentration is used for the second concentration. The solid content of the second concentrated liquid is 70-80wt%.
[0021] As an improved technical solution, the anhydrous ethanol in step (6) is added in an amount of 1-4 times the volume of the second concentrated solution, and the temperature is lowered to 20-25°C.
[0022] As an improved technical solution, in step (7), purified water is added and heated to 60-80°C; the decolorizing solution is cooled to 10-15°C at a rate of 3-5°C / h.
[0023] After adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0024] The present invention uses glutamic acid solution and whole cells containing glutamic acid decarboxylase as reaction raw materials, adds calcium salt solution, adjusts pH, controls reaction temperature and time, and reacts to obtain a conversion liquid containing γ-aminobutyric acid, which is filtered through a ceramic membrane, and an extractant is added to the collected filtrate, and after stirring and standing for stratification, the collected lower organic phase is adjusted to pH to acidic, and then enters the transformed strong acid cation resin column, and then an analytical agent is used for analysis, and the collected analytical solution is concentrated once and concentrated twice, and then anhydrous ethanol is added, stirred, cooled, and filtered, and purified water is added to the collected γ-aminobutyric acid crude product, heated, stirred until dissolved, activated carbon is added, and continued stirring and filtering are performed, and the collected decolorized liquid is cooled, filtered, washed, and dried according to a gradient cooling method to obtain a γ-aminobutyric acid product.
