[0040] The present application example also provides a use of a long-branch Trichoderma strain in the preparation of cigarette flavors.

[0041] That is, the long-branch Trichoderma strain is used to prepare cigarette flavor. Preferably, the method for preparing cigarette flavor using the long-branch Trichoderma strain comprises:

[0042] The long-branched Trichoderma is activated and cultured to obtain a bacterial liquid and hyphae, which are inoculated into a slant solid culture medium for culture. When green spores grow on the slant solid culture medium, sterile water is added into a slant test tube, the spores on the slant solid culture medium are removed and dissolved in the sterile water in the slant test tube to prepare a spore suspension, which is diluted and inoculated into a fermentation medium for fermentation.

[0043] Preferably, the spore concentration of the diluted spore suspension is 1×10 7 ~1.1×10 7 cfu / ml.

[0046] Preferably, the fermentation time of the diluted spore suspension in the fermentation medium is 72 hours, and the fermentation is carried out on a shaker at a rotation speed of 180 r / min.

[0047] Schematically, for the primary screening and rescreening of Trichoderma longibrachiatum strains, the tea samples were cut into pieces and placed in 0.9% (wt%) sterile saline, the volume ratio of the tea sample mass to the sterile saline was 10 g:100 mL, and the mixture was shaken in a shaker at 180 r / min at 30°C for 6-8 h, and then subjected to 10 -0 , 10 -1 , 10 -2 , 10 -3 , 10 -4 , 10 -5 After gradient dilution, the strains were spread on YPD solid culture medium and cultured at 30℃ for 24 to 48 hours to obtain primary screening strains, which were numbered and preserved. The primary screening strains were activated and cultured with YPD liquid culture medium for 16 hours, and the mycelium was hooked or centrifuged to obtain the bacterial precipitate, which was inoculated into the sterilized secondary screening fermentation medium. After multiple primary and secondary screenings, the fermentation liquid was smelled and the results were comprehensively analyzed. The strain with the most obvious aroma production effect was marked as QF-1.

[0048] For the morphological and molecular biological identification of Trichoderma longifolia strains:

[0049] 1. Colony preparation: Inoculate spores or mycelial fragments of the QF-1 long-branch Trichoderma strain onto YPD solid culture medium, and then insert a sterile glass slide into the culture medium to allow the QF-1 long-branch Trichoderma strain to grow on the glass slide to form colonies.

[0050] 2. Staining and microscopic observation: Stain the slide with QF-1 long-branch Trichoderma strain and observe the morphology of long-branch Trichoderma hyphae and spores. Figure 1 shown.

[0051] 3. Fungal DNA extraction steps:

[0052] (1) Adjust the water bath to 65°C in advance;

[0053] (2) Grind 50-100 mg of macrofungus or 20 mg of dried fruiting bodies into powder. The macrofungus can be mushrooms. Add them to a 1.5 ml centrifuge tube, add 400 μl of Buffer Digestion and 4 μl of β-mercaptoethanol, and shake to mix. Then, place the tube in a water bath at 65°C for 1 h until the cells are completely lysed. During the water bath, invert and mix every 10 min to promote sample lysis. If RNA-free DNA is required, add 20 μl of RNase A (10 mg / ml) after the water bath.

[0054] (3) Add 200 μl Buffer PF, mix thoroughly by inversion, and place at -20°C for 5 min;

[0055] (4) Centrifuge the tube at 10,000 rpm for 5 min at 25°C. Transfer 500-550 μl of the supernatant to another 1.5 ml centrifuge tube. If the supernatant is turbid, add an equal volume of chloroform to mix. Centrifuge the tube at 12,000 rpm and take the supernatant.

[0056] (5) Add an equal volume of isopropanol to the obtained supernatant, mix, and transfer to a new centrifuge tube. Invert 5-8 times to mix thoroughly. Place the centrifuge tube at 25°C for 2-3 minutes, then centrifuge the tube at 10,000 rpm for 5 minutes and discard the supernatant.

[0057] (6) Add 1 ml of 75% ethanol to the centrifuge tube, invert and rinse for 1-3 minutes, centrifuge the tube at 10,000 rpm for 2 minutes, and discard the supernatant;

[0058] (7) Repeat step 6 once;

[0059] (8) Place the centrifuge tube at 25 degrees Celsius for 5-10 minutes to allow the remaining ethanol to evaporate completely;

[0060] (9) The obtained DNA was dissolved in 50-100 μl TE Buffer. The extracted DNA can be used immediately for the next experiment or stored at -20°C. TE Buffer contains 10 mM Tris-HCl, 1 mM EDTA, pH 8.0.

[0061] 4. PCR amplification and sequencing identification: The universal PCR amplification primers ITS1 (5'-TCCGTAGGTGAACCTGCGG-3') and ITS4 (5'-TCCTCCGCTTATTGATATGC-3') of fungal ITSrDNA were used for amplification. The PCR products were stored at -20°C and sequenced after agarose gel electrophoresis. The sequencing results were compared by BLAST and the NeighborJoining algorithm was used to construct the phylogenetic tree of the target strain. The results are as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the screened strain is in the same branch and has the closest evolutionary distance to the standard strain of Trichoderma genus Trichoderma longibrachiatum, so the screened strain was identified as Trichoderma longibrachiatum and named QF-1.

[0062] The strain has been deposited in the General Microbiology Center (CGMCC) of China Microbiological Culture Collection, located at Institute of Microbiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, No. 3, Yard 1, Beichen West Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing, with the deposit number CGMCC NO: 41364.

[0063] Preparation of tobacco flavoring using Trichoderma longifolia strain QF-1:

[0064] The long-branch Trichoderma strain QF-1 is activated and cultured to obtain a bacterial liquid and hyphae, the bacterial liquid and hyphae are inoculated into a test tube slant solid culture medium for culture, and green spores grow on the slant solid culture medium, sterile water is added into the slant test tube, spores on the slant solid culture medium are scraped and dissolved in sterile water to prepare a spore suspension, and the spore suspension is inoculated into a fermentation medium at a ratio of 1% (v / v) for fermentation.

[0065] The fermentation medium consisted of 50 g tobacco extract and 50 mL water. The spore concentration of Trichoderma longifolia in the spore suspension was 1 × 10 7 ~1.1×10 7 cfu / ml, the fermentation temperature was 30℃, the fermentation speed was 180rpm / min, the fermentation time was 72h, and the fermentation medium without inoculation of long-branch Trichoderma spores was used as the control group. Three replicates were set for each treatment group. After the fermentation liquid was diluted with alcohol, 10μL was injected into blank cigarettes for sensory evaluation. Compared with the fermentation liquid without bacteria, the aroma quantity and aroma quality of the tobacco extract fermented with bacteria were significantly increased, the sweet aftertaste was enhanced, the impurities were reduced, the irritation was reduced, and the smoking quality of the cigarette was significantly improved.

[0066] As for the fermentation temperature of tobacco extract, the spore suspension was inoculated into the liquid fermentation medium at a ratio of 1% (v / v), the fermentation speed was set to 180 rpm / min, and fermented at 27°C, 30°C, and 33°C for 72h, respectively. After the fermentation, 10 μL was aspirated and injected into blank cigarettes for sensory evaluation. When fermented at 27°C, the aroma volume was increased, the fragrance was prominent, but the irritation was large. The aroma of the fermented liquid at 33°C was not full enough, but the irritation and miscellaneous smell were reduced compared with the original cigarette. When fermented at 30°C, the aroma quality and aroma volume were good, the irritation was small, and the aftertaste was sweet, clean and comfortable, and the application effect was good.

[0067] As for the fermentation speed of tobacco extract, the spore suspension was inoculated into the liquid fermentation medium at a ratio of 1% (v / v), the fermentation temperature was set to 30°C, and the fermentation was carried out at speeds of 120rpm / min, 150rpm / min, 180rpm / min, and 200rpm / min for 72h. After the fermentation, 10μL was taken and injected into blank cigarettes for sensory evaluation. When fermented at 120r / min, the aroma volume was slightly increased, but the irritation was large, there were more miscellaneous gases, and the aftertaste was bitter and spicy. When fermented at 150 and 200rpm / min for 72h, the aroma volume increased, but the aroma quality was not as high as that at 180rpm / min. The fermentation liquid fermented at 180rpm / min had an obvious honey sweet fragrance, supplemented by floral and fruity aromas, rich aroma, and better application effect.

[0068] As for the fermentation inoculum amount of tobacco extract, the fermentation temperature was set at 30°C and the rotation speed was 180rpm / min. The spore suspension was inoculated into the liquid fermentation medium at a ratio of 0.2% (v / v), 0.5%, 0.8%, 1%, 1.2%, and 1.5%, respectively, and fermented for 72 hours. After the fermentation, 10 μL was injected into blank cigarettes for sensory evaluation. With the increase of the inoculum amount, the sensory evaluation score was the highest at 1% (v / v). When the inoculum amount was too small or too large, the fermentation liquid had the problem of insufficient aroma when used in cigarettes for evaluation. At 1% (v / v), the aroma was richer, the aftertaste was comfortable, and the smoke was smooth and harmonious.

[0069] A three-factor three-level orthogonal experiment was formulated based on the three factors of fermentation temperature, fermentation speed and mycelium inoculation amount, and sensory evaluation and result scoring were carried out. The optimal combination conditions for the fermentation of tobacco extract by the long-branch Trichoderma strain QF-1 were 30°C environment, 180rpm / min rotation speed and 1% (v / v) inoculation amount. The rotation speed can be achieved by placing the culture medium in a fermentation tank and rotating it.

[0070] For the detection of aroma components of tobacco extract before and after the optimal fermentation conditions, the fermentation broth of Trichoderma longifolia strain QF-1 and the fermentation broth of the control group were centrifuged and filtered, and 10 μL was injected into blank cigarettes after dilution. Twenty sample cigarettes and 20 reference blank cigarettes were smoked using an RM20H rotary smoking machine according to the Canadian deep smoking mode (HCI) standard requirements. The smoking conditions were: the smoking volume was 55 mL, the duration was 2 s, and the aerosol of the heated cigarette was captured using a Cambridge filter with a diameter of 92 mm. Glue and retain the filter stick. After the suction is completed, transfer the Cambridge filter disc and filter stick that capture the flue gas to a 150mL conical flask, add 50mL of dichloromethane solution respectively, and then put it into a shaker for 40 minutes. Take the obtained extract and add it to the concentration bottle, then add 1mL of 0.204mg / mL phenylethyl acetate (internal standard) to start concentration. When it is concentrated to less than 1mL, use dichloromethane to make up to 1mL, pass it through a 0.22μm filter membrane in a 2.0mL chromatography bottle, and perform GC-MS analysis.

[0071] GC-MS analysis conditions:

[0072] Gas phase detection conditions: chromatographic column HP-5MS (60m×0.25mm×0.25μm); injection port temperature 280℃; carrier gas is high-purity helium; column oven is programmed temperature, starting temperature 50℃ for 1min, increasing to 148℃ at 4℃ / min for 1min, increasing to 172℃ at 2℃ / min for 1min, increasing to 280℃ at 4℃ / min for 5min; split ratio 10:1; flow rate 3.0mL / min.

[0073] Mass spectrometry conditions:

[0074] The ion source temperature was 230°C; the quadrupole temperature was 150°C; the EI ion source was 70 eV; the mass scanning range was 35-550 amu; and the NIST20 search was used.

[0075] The results are calculated as follows:

[0076] Aroma component content calculation method: Aroma component content = (component peak area * internal standard content) / internal standard peak area, the results are shown in Table 1 and Figure 4 .

[0077]

[0078]

[0079]

[0080] Table 1: Analysis results of aroma components of Trichoderma longifolia QF-1 fermentation broth after application in cigarettes

[0081] Note: The substance content (μg / g) in the table refers to the mass of the chemical substance measured in each gram of tobacco sample. "-" indicates that the content of volatile aroma components is extremely low or absent. The blank group is the sample obtained by smoking a blank cigarette without fermentation liquid, the control group is the sample obtained by smoking a cigarette without fermentation liquid of QF-1 bacteria, and the QF-1 group is the sample obtained by smoking a cigarette with fermentation liquid of QF-1 bacteria.

[0082] From Table 1 and Figure 4 It can be seen that after the QF-1 fermentation liquid is applied to cigarettes, the aroma components of alcohols, ketones, phenols, hydrocarbons, heterocyclics and other substances increase, while esters and acids decrease. The aroma content of QF-1 and the untreated control is higher than that of blank cigarettes. The total amount of aroma substances in the QF-1 group is the highest, which is 483.890μg / g, an increase of 41.4% over the control group. Among the alcohol substances, 2-furanmethanol increases by 138.5% compared with the control, which has a slight sweet and aromatic smell. Trans-geraniol and nerol have a fresh and sweet floral fragrance. The aldehyde substances increase the most, a total increase of 100.4% compared with the control, among which 5-hydroxymethylfurfural usually has a sweet, caramel-like aroma and is often used in baked goods. , coffee and caramel. 5-methyl-2-furaldehyde has sweet aromas such as almonds, nuts, roasted aroma and smoky aroma. It is mainly used in the preparation of flavors such as cocoa, nuts, caramel, bread and coffee. Its content is significantly increased compared with blank cigarettes. Both aldehydes may contribute to the outstanding sweet aroma of the QF-1 fermentation group. Ketones mostly have floral and fruity aromas, which can improve the taste of cigarettes and coordinate with the aroma of tobacco. After the QF-1 fermentation liquid is applied to cigarettes, the contents of DDMP and cyclopentenone substances are increased, and three ketone substances such as 3-ethyl-2-cyclopentene-1-one are newly added. It has been reported that furanones, pyrones and cyclopentenone compounds are important sources of roasted sweet aroma in the water-soluble component fraction of smoke particulate matter.

[0083] Among the phenolic substances, 4-methylguaiacol has been newly added to the QF-1 group. Studies have shown that 4-methylguaiacol (4-MG) is an important flavor compound of Luzhou-flavor liquor, contributing fruity and sweet, floral and smoky flavors to the liquor. Although the content of ester substances has decreased, scopoletin has been added to enhance the sweet aroma of tobacco leaves. Among the olefin substances, nodules have been newly added, which have woody, amber and ambergris-type aromas. There are more indoles in the heterocyclic class, and the smell itself is described as a complex mixture of soil, floral and animal scents, and may present a soft floral scent at low concentrations.

[0084] The flavors prepared by fermentation with tobacco extract as the fermentation substrate and inoculation with the long-branched Trichoderma strain QF-1 are better compatible with tobacco when applied to cigarettes. The aroma components measured by using a smoking machine to smoke and collect the particle phase are closer to the aroma felt by the smokers when they smoke. The increase in ketones and the sweet fragrance felt by smelling the fermentation liquid also indicate that QF-1 degrades the organic macromolecules in the crude tobacco concentrate during the fermentation process and forms a unique aroma style. This may make the ratio of chemical components in the fermentation liquid more coordinated. Its application in cigarettes not only increases the aroma volume, makes the smoke smooth and soft, but also gives the cigarettes a unique honey-sweet style.
