Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of dairy product processing, and in particular to a method for improving the nutritional retention rate of bovine colostrum and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Bovine colostrum not only contains rich milk nutrients, but also contains a variety of biologically active ingredients, such as immunoglobulins, lactoferrin, lactoperoxidase, proline peptides, insulin growth factor, epidermal growth factor, transforming growth factor, etc. It has a series of physiological active functions such as immune regulation, improving gastrointestinal function, promoting growth and development, and inhibiting a variety of pathogenic microorganisms. It is known as the "healthy food of the 21st century" and is a very rare and precious resource. Bovine colostrum has high nutritional value and huge development potential, but due to the limitations of process, equipment and technology, the research, development and utilization of bovine colostrum is very difficult. The non-fat milk solids of bovine colostrum are significantly higher than those of normal milk, the quality is unstable, the acidity is high, the viscosity is high, the thermal stability is poor, and it is easy to coagulate when heated. Therefore, it is greatly restricted in development and application. Most of the active substances in bovine colostrum are very sensitive to temperature, and the heat treatment process can easily destroy their biological activity. The collection, transportation, processing and application of bovine colostrum must be carried out under low temperature conditions to preserve its immune activity. In addition, if the conditions of collection, transportation and processing are not appropriate, some key nutrients in colostrum are very easy to degrade, such as vitamins, immunoglobulins, lactoferrin, lactoperoxidase, osteopontin, etc. Therefore, the collection, transportation, temporary storage and processing of colostrum require precise control of conditions to avoid the corruption of colostrum and reduce the loss of various nutrients.

[0003] Due to the limited production of bovine colostrum and the difficulty of collecting it, the collected bovine colostrum has to be frozen, stored and transported first, and then thawed after collecting enough for research and processing applications. In order to ensure that the properties and active ingredients of bovine colostrum are not destroyed, strict control must be carried out from the source of colostrum collection to ensure the quality of colostrum raw materials. At present, the conventional bovine colostrum processing method is to fill the colostrum into a colostrum bag after the colostrum is collected, and then directly put it into a -20℃ refrigerator or cold storage for freezing and preservation. When used, it is transported to the processing factory by low-temperature cold chain, temporarily stored in a -20℃ cold storage, and finally taken out of the cold storage, thawed in a room temperature or 45℃ warm water bath for use. Ice crystals are easily formed in the frozen samples of this method, and the thawed samples are prone to fat floating, whey precipitation, protein granulation, and uneven samples. In addition, the nutrients such as vitamins and some immune active substances in the thawed samples of this method are severely lost, which greatly reduces the quality of the raw milk.

[0004] In view of this, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a method and application for improving the nutritional retention rate of bovine colostrum, which can retain various nutrients in bovine colostrum to a greater extent, improve the uniformity and stability of bovine colostrum, and provide high-quality raw materials for further in-depth research and processing applications of bovine colostrum.

After the bovine colostrum is collected and subjected to quick freezing, storage and slow thawing treatments in sequence, the obtained bovine colostrum raw material sample is in a uniform state without undesirable conditions such as fat floating, whey precipitation, and protein granulation. In addition, the retention rate of nutrients in the obtained colostrum raw material is high, and high-quality raw materials can be provided for further in-depth research and processing applications of bovine colostrum. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] Due to the limited production of bovine colostrum and the difficulty of collecting it, the collected bovine colostrum has to be frozen, stored and transported first, and then thawed after collecting a sufficient amount for research and processing applications. Bovine colostrum has a high total solid content, high fat and protein content. It is more likely to have undesirable conditions such as fat floating, whey precipitation, and protein granulation after being thawed again after freezing. In addition, when studying the composition of bovine colostrum, the collected samples cannot be tested in time. They need to be frozen and then thawed for testing, which will cause the degradation of certain nutrients and functional components, and the test values ​​are low, which cannot reflect the true situation of fresh bovine colostrum.

[0028] The present invention studies a series of processing methods such as bovine colostrum collection, quick freezing, transportation, thawing, processing and application, strictly controls the cooling method, transportation method and thawing method after sampling, detects the content of certain nutrients, and improves the detection accuracy, so as to protect and restore the nutrition and characteristics of bovine colostrum to a greater extent, and provide high-quality raw materials for further in-depth research and processing and application of bovine colostrum.

[0029] Specifically, during sample collection, the present invention cools down while milking, so that the fresh colostrum sample quickly reaches an equilibrium temperature, inhibits the growth of microorganisms, and ensures the freshness of the sample.

[0030] Specifically, after the sample is packaged, the milk storage bag is put into a mixture of dry ice and ethanol to quickly freeze the sample, and the milk sample is frozen into a solid in a short time and is not easy to form ice crystals. The quick freezing step of the present invention is simple to operate, and dry ice is continuously replenished during the quick freezing process, and dry ice is kept at the bottom of the container. The present invention uses a mixture of dry ice and ethanol to quickly form a low-temperature water bath of -72°C, and the temperature of the low-temperature water bath formed by other quick-freezing reagents is higher than -72°C. When dry ice is mixed with organic solvents such as acetone, ether, and chloroform to make a low-temperature water bath, a low temperature condition below -72°C can also be achieved, but acetone, ether, and chloroform are toxic, and human inhalation after volatilization can cause dizziness, headache, respiratory poisoning, etc., which are not suitable for operation under conventional conditions. In a more specific embodiment, the operation process of quick freezing is as follows: first add ethanol to a fixed container, the liquid level is 30-50cm, and then slowly add dry ice cubes to the solution. The reaction is relatively violent at the beginning, and do not add too fast. After the reaction is stable, a large amount of dry ice can be added, and dry ice can be kept at the bottom of the container. At this point, the low-temperature water bath is ready, and you can put the sealed colostrum bag in for rapid freezing, making sure the colostrum bag is completely submerged during freezing. During the process, you need to constantly add dry ice to keep dry ice at the bottom of the container to maintain the water bath temperature.

[0031] Specifically, the present invention adopts a method of slowly thawing samples in stages: take them out from a -20°C refrigerator or cold storage, first perform low-frequency ultrasonic treatment, shorten the thawing time, and improve thawing uniformity. After low-frequency ultrasonic treatment, slowly thaw step by step, and control the thawing temperature and time. First place it in a 4°C refrigerator for 8-12 hours to slowly thaw it, and then take it out and put it in a room temperature water bath to completely thaw it. Although the speed of slow thawing step by step is relatively slow, the state of the samples after thawing is uniform, without adverse conditions such as fat floating, whey precipitation, protein granulation, and less loss of vitamins and some immunoactive substances.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention provides a process and method suitable for collecting, transporting and processing bovine colostrum, and the operating steps of the method include:

[0033] (1) Collection of fresh bovine colostrum: Use vacuum milking equipment to collect fresh bovine colostrum. After milking, fill the colostrum in the milk bucket into a sterile milk storage bag and seal it tightly. The specification of the milk storage bag is 1-5L.

[0034] (2) Rapid freezing: Place the milk storage bag in a mixture of dry ice and ethanol to quickly freeze the sample. The milk sample will freeze solid in a short time without forming ice crystals.

[0035] (3) Frozen storage and cold chain transportation: The quick-frozen samples are transferred to a -20℃ refrigerator or cold storage for storage. When used, they must be transported to the processing factory through the cold chain and cannot be thawed during the entire process.

[0036] (4) Slow thawing of samples: Take out from -20℃ refrigerator or cold storage, first perform low-frequency ultrasonic treatment to shorten the thawing time and improve thawing uniformity. Then place in a 4℃ refrigerator for 6-12 hours. After taking out, place in a room temperature water bath to thaw, and mix evenly after the sample is completely dissolved before use.

[0037] (5) Sample testing and processing application: The completely thawed samples are mixed evenly before testing and processing application.

[0038] In a more preferred and specific embodiment, the operation method of step (1) is: use vacuum milking equipment to collect fresh colostrum separately, adjust the appropriate milking speed to milk evenly, and it usually takes 5-15 minutes for a single cow to complete. Clean the milking machine before each milking, sterilize and dry the milking bucket at high temperature to reduce contamination during the milking process. During milking, strictly follow the standard milking specifications, and the processes such as pre-disinfection, drug bath, discarding the first three handfuls of milk, wiping, cupping, cup inspection, cup removal, and post-dip bathing must be standardized. During milking, the milk bucket is placed in a refrigeration type external circulation thermostat, the temperature is set to 4°C, and the milk is collected while cooling. At the end of milking, the temperature of the milk sample in the milking bucket is 4-8°C. Cooling while milking allows the fresh colostrum sample to quickly reach the equilibrium temperature, inhibits the growth of microorganisms, and ensures the freshness of the sample.

[0039] In a more preferred and specific embodiment, the operation method of step (2) is as follows: after milking, the milk in the milk bucket is quickly filled into a sterile milk storage bag in a clean environment, and the seal is tightened. The specification of the milk storage bag is 1000 ml. The milk storage bag is placed in a mixture of dry ice and ethanol to quickly freeze the sample. The quick freezing time is 10-40 minutes. The milk sample is frozen into a solid in a short time without forming large ice crystals, thereby ensuring the homogeneity of the sample.

[0040] The colostrum collected by the conventional method is directly placed in a -20°C cold storage for slow freezing, which is prone to ice crystals. In step (2) of the present invention, the milk storage bag is placed in a mixture of dry ice and ethanol to quickly freeze the sample, so that the milk sample is frozen into a solid in a short time and is not prone to forming ice crystals.

[0041] In a more preferred and specific embodiment, the operation method of step (4) is: take out from the -20°C refrigerator or cold storage, first perform low-frequency ultrasonic treatment to shorten the thawing time and improve the thawing uniformity. The ultrasonic frequency is 50-150kHz and the intensity is 0.2-0.4W / cm 2, ultrasonic time 10-30min. Then place in a 4℃ refrigerator for 6-12h. After taking out, put in a water bath to thaw for 1-3h, the water bath temperature is 10-30℃, and the sample is mixed evenly after it is completely dissolved. The tissue state of the slowly thawed sample is close to that of fresh milk, the sample is uniform, and there is no undesirable state such as fat floating, whey precipitation, and protein granulation. The thawing speed at room temperature is too slow. Although the thawing speed is relatively fast when thawing in a 45℃ warm water bath, it is easy to cause uneven samples, serious loss of vitamins and some immune active substances, reduce the quality of raw milk, and easily cause undesirable states such as fat floating, whey precipitation, and protein granulation after thawing. In step (4) of the present invention, the sample is first placed in a 4℃ refrigerator for 6-12h. Take it out and put it in a room temperature water bath to thaw for 1-3h, and mix it evenly after the sample is completely dissolved for use. After the low-frequency ultrasonic treatment, the present invention slowly thaws step by step to control the thawing temperature and time. The sample is in a uniform state after being slowly thawed step by step in the present invention, without unfavorable conditions such as fat floating, whey precipitation, protein granulation, etc., and the loss of vitamins and some immune active substances is relatively small.

[0042] After the sampling, rapid freezing, cold chain transportation, low-temperature temporary storage and slow thawing operations of the present invention, the colostrum raw material sample finally obtained is in a uniform state, without undesirable conditions such as fat floating, whey precipitation, protein granulation, etc., and the retention rate of nutrients in the obtained colostrum raw material is high, which can provide high-quality raw materials for further in-depth research and processing applications of bovine colostrum.
