Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of fermentation technology, and specifically relates to a method for preparing white koji rich in Weizmannella coagulans and its application in treating functional gastrointestinal disorders. Background Art
[0002] Functional dyspepsia (FD) is an important functional gastrointestinal disorder. It is a common digestive system disease characterized by chronic dyspepsia symptoms, including upper abdominal pain, fullness, early satiety, nausea, vomiting and loss of appetite, but these symptoms cannot be explained by organic, systemic or metabolic diseases. The pathogenesis of FD is complex and involves multiple factors, including gastric motility disorder, psychological factors, dietary factors and gastrointestinal infections such as Helicobacter pylori. Among them, gastric motility disorder is an important factor in functional dyspepsia, which is manifested as delayed gastric emptying and decreased gastric fundus receptive relaxation function. In addition, patients with functional dyspepsia are often related to psychological factors, such as anxiety and depression, which disrupt the normal physiological activities of the central nervous system and cause uncoordinated operation of gastrointestinal function. With the accelerated pace of modern life and increased mental and psychological pressure, the prevalence of functional dyspepsia is also increasing year by year. Psychological factors play an important role in the onset of functional dyspepsia. Due to the complexity of the disease, Western medicine treatment of FD still has some limitations: first, there are large differences in the response of different patients to Western medicine treatment, and Western medicine may cause drug resistance and dependence problems; second, FD is a chronic and recurrent disease, and patients often need to rely on Western medicine treatment for a long time; in addition, FD patients are often accompanied by anxiety and depression, and these psychological factors may aggravate symptoms, making the condition more difficult to control with Western medicine; in addition, long-term use of certain Western medicines may bring side effects, increasing the economic and psychological burden on patients.
[0003] Compared with the limitations of Western medicine in treating FD, TCM has the following advantages in treating FD: TCM pays more attention to overall conditioning. TCM adopts the method of syndrome differentiation and treatment, focusing on overall conditioning and etiological treatment, rather than just symptom relief. In addition, TCM has the characteristics of multiple components, multiple targets and multiple functions. It can provide comprehensive treatment for complex diseases such as FD and has comprehensive efficacy. It not only focuses on symptom improvement, but also focuses on improving the overall quality of life of patients, including the adjustment of psychological state. Moreover, the efficacy of TCM in treating FD is relatively stable, with a lower recurrence rate and fewer adverse reactions. Therefore, the application of TCM in treating FD has gradually gained favor and attention.
[0004] Daqu is generally made of wheat, barley and other raw materials, which are crushed and pressed into brick-shaped koji. The temperature and humidity are artificially controlled to allow various microorganisms in nature to grow and reproduce on it. Because of its large block shape, it is named Daqu. There are many types of Daqu, and the names are not consistent. According to the different raw materials for making koji, it can be divided into wheat koji, rice koji and bran koji. According to the different methods of making koji, it can be divided into handmade koji and machine-made koji. According to the different sources of the bacteria used for making koji, it can also be divided into natural (natural) culture koji and pure bacteria culture koji. According to the different colors of the koji blocks, it can also be divided into red koji, black koji and white koji. The performance of each type of koji is different.
[0005] The present invention formulates a Baiqu prescription based on the theory of traditional Chinese medicine and the complex pathogenesis of FD, including 6 Chinese medicines for digestion and lipid reduction, such as Fuding old white tea, 3 Chinese medicines for regulating qi and strengthening the spleen, such as tangerine peel, 3 Chinese medicines for clearing away heat, detoxifying and promoting diuresis, such as gardenia, 4 Chinese medicines for dispelling wind and cold and warming the stomach, such as turmeric, and 3 Chinese medicines for promoting lung function and resolving phlegm, such as mulberry leaves, for a total of 25 Chinese medicines. The advantage of this prescription lies in the characteristics of overall conditioning and comprehensive treatment. It not only focuses on the relief of symptoms, but also focuses on adjusting and improving the overall physical and mental condition and physiological functions of patients. It can effectively relieve patients' symptoms, reduce the recurrence rate, and improve patients' quality of life. The most important innovation of the present invention is that the Baiqu is rich in Weizmannella coagulans ( Weizmannia_coagulans ), which brings many benefits to the treatment of FD. Weizmannella coagulans is a spore-forming probiotic with remarkable heat resistance, acid resistance and bile resistance. In the treatment of FD, this bacterium can consume free oxygen in the intestines and stomach, creating an environment conducive to the growth of anaerobic microorganisms such as lactobacilli and bifidobacteria, thereby helping to improve the balance of intestinal microorganisms. In addition, studies have shown that Weizmannella coagulans can promote intestinal peristalsis, increase fecal water content, help relieve constipation, and may relieve symptoms such as abdominal distension and abdominal pain in patients with FD. In particular, due to its high temperature and high pressure resistance, Weizmannella coagulans can remain active during the processing of a variety of foods, including hot drinks and baked goods, which makes it easy to be added to a variety of foods and supplements for consumers to take. Studies have shown that Weizmannella coagulans has the ability to inhibit Helicobacter pylori, improve the barrier function of the gastrointestinal tract, reduce inflammation, and help alleviate the symptoms of FD patients. In addition, Weizmannella coagulans has obtained GRAS certification from the FDA, and its safety and health benefits are supported by clinical studies. The efficacy of the white koji in the present invention in treating FD is further improved after being fermented with coagulant Weizmannella, providing a new perspective and method for the treatment of FD.

[0052] S5: sterilize the mixture obtained in step S4 in an autoclave at 100° C. for 60 min and then cool it to obtain a sterilized mixture.
[0053] S6: 0.009 parts by weight of the fermented product 1 obtained in step S1 and 1 part by weight of the sterilized mixture obtained in step S5 are put into a U-type blender and stirred for 20 minutes to obtain a soft material.
[0054] S7: Cut the soft material obtained in step S6 into blocks of 4.2 cm×2.7 cm×1 cm to obtain a semi-finished product.
[0055] S8: Evenly sprinkle a layer of fermentation product 1 obtained in step S1 on the surface of the semi-finished product obtained in step S7, the weight ratio of the semi-finished product to the fermentation product 1 is 100:1, and ferment in a fermentation room to obtain fermentation product 2, namely Baiqu; wherein the fermentation process lasts for 10 days in total, the temperature is controlled at 35°C and the humidity is controlled at 70% on the 1st to 3rd day of fermentation, the temperature is controlled at 38°C and the humidity is controlled at 80% on the 4th to 6th day of fermentation, and the temperature is controlled at 33°C and the humidity is controlled at 70% on the 7th to 10th day of fermentation.
[0056] The semi-finished product and white koji were sampled respectively to observe their properties, and their moisture content, ash content, total flavonoids content, and total polyphenol content were measured. The microbial community structure was analyzed using metagenomic sequencing.
[0057] like Figure 1 As shown, the prepared white koji has an off-white or off-yellow appearance.
[0058] As shown in Table 1, the moisture content, ash content, total flavonoids content and total polyphenols content of the semi-finished product were 10.56%, 8.31%, 1.375% and 0.51%, respectively; the moisture content, ash content, total flavonoids content and total polyphenols content of Baiqu were 4.83%, 14.41%, 1.3% and 0.45%, respectively.
[0059] Table 1 Water content, ash content, total flavonoids content and total polyphenols content of semi-finished products and white koji As shown in Table 2-1, the top 10 dominant bacterial species in terms of relative abundance in semi-finished products are Bacillus subtilis ( Bacillus subtilis , 13.97%), Rhizopus microsporus ( Rhizopus microsporus , 8.08%), Monascus purpurogenus ( Monascus purpureus , 3.66%), Lactobacillus plantarum ( Lactiplantibacillus plantarum , 3.39%), Saccharomyces cerevisiae ( Saccharomyces cerevisiae , 2.00%), Aspergillus Ryukyu ( Aspergillus luchuensis , 1.98%), Pediococcus acidilactici ( Pediococcus acidilactici , 1.96%), Lactobacillus-unclassified (Lactiplantibacillus_unclassified , 1.82%), Aspergillus oryzae ( Aspergillus oryzae , 1.78%), Lindnerella fabiennesii ( Cyberlindnera fabianii , 1.63%).

[0060] Table 2-1 Analysis of dominant bacterial flora in semi-finished products (species level) Table 2-2 Analysis of dominant bacterial flora in white koji (species level) Embodiment 2: Preparation of Baiqu decoction: weigh 60g of Baiqu prepared in Example 1, add 600g of water to soak for 30min, extract under reflux in a 100℃ water bath for 3 times, each time for 0.5h, filter with 200-mesh gauze after each extraction, then combine the 3 filtrates, concentrate at 60℃ by rotary evaporation to 100ml, equivalent to 0.6g / mL of the original medicinal material, and store in a 4℃ refrigerator for subsequent animal experiments.
[0061] Animal experiment: 50 C57 mice, half male and half female, were randomly divided into 5 groups (10 mice in each group) after 6 days of adaptive feeding: blank group, atropine model group (0.001g / kg), positive drug mosapride citrate group (0.003g / kg), Baiqu low-dose group (3g / kg), Baiqu high-dose group (6g / kg). Atropine (0.001g / kg) was injected intraperitoneally twice a day for 4 consecutive days in the atropine model group, positive drug mosapride citrate group, Baiqu low-dose group, and Baiqu high-dose group to complete the model; the blank group was injected intraperitoneally with the same volume of normal saline twice a day for 4 consecutive days. After the model was completed, each drug-treated group was continuously gavaged for 4 days, once a day, with a gavage volume of 10ml / kg; the blank group mice were gavaged with the same volume of normal saline. Before the last administration, the mice were fasted but not watered for 12 hours. Two hours after the last administration, each mouse was gavaged with 0.8 ml of nutrient semisolid paste containing carbon powder. After 20 minutes, blood was collected and the mice were quickly dissected. The gastric cardia and pylorus of the mice were ligated, and the complete stomach was cut. The gastric surface mucosa was removed. The whole stomach was weighed after being wiped dry with filter paper. Then the stomach body was cut open along the greater curvature of the stomach. The stomach contents were washed with saline and wiped dry. The net weight of the stomach was weighed. The difference between the total weight of the stomach and the net weight of the stomach was the weight of the residual content in the stomach. The gastric emptying rate was calculated according to the formula. Gastric emptying rate = [1-(total weight of the stomach-net weight of the stomach) / gavage mass] × 100%. At the same time, the small intestine from the pylorus to the ileocecal region was quickly cut, and the mesentery was gently peeled off and laid directly on white paper. The total length from the pylorus to the ileocecal region and the distance from the pylorus to the front of the black semisolid paste were measured. The percentage of the distance from the pylorus to the front of the black semisolid paste to the total length from the pylorus to the ileocecal region was the small intestine propulsion rate. Mouse eyeball blood was collected in a 1.5 ml centrifuge tube and allowed to stand at room temperature for 1 hour. The tube was then centrifuged at 4°C and 3000 r / min for 15 minutes, and the supernatant was collected and stored at -80°C. The levels of gastrointestinal hormones such as somatostatin (GAS), motilin (MTL), substance P (SP) and somatostatin (SS) in mouse serum were determined according to the instructions of the ELISA detection kit.
[0062] The results show that ( Figure 2 ), compared with the blank control group, the gastric emptying rate and small intestinal propulsion rate of the model group mice were reduced, indicating that the gastrointestinal motility disorder disease model was successfully established by intraperitoneal injection of atropine; after treatment, compared with the model group, the gastric emptying rate and small intestinal propulsion rate of the low-dose Baiqu administration group, the high-dose Baiqu administration group, and the positive drug mosapride citrate administration group were significantly increased. This shows that Baiqu administration can significantly improve the gastrointestinal motility of mice and effectively alleviate gastrointestinal motility disorders.
[0063] Gastrin (GAS) is a hormone that regulates gastrointestinal motility. It can promote gastric motility, enhance the contraction of the lower esophageal sphincter, and reduce gastroesophageal reflux. Motilin (MTL) is a brain-gut peptide distributed in the central nervous system and gastrointestinal tract. It is an important hormone that initiates the interdigestive gastrointestinal migrating motor complex (MMC). Somatostatin (SS) is a polypeptide hormone widely distributed in the digestive system that is secreted by D cells in the pancreatic islets and gastrointestinal mucosa. It can inhibit a variety of physiological functions. SS can act directly through neuroendocrine, and can also indirectly inhibit gastrointestinal motility by acting on other gastrointestinal hormones. Substance P (SP) is mostly distributed in the myenteric plexus and the central nervous system. It can act on smooth muscle, causing it to contract rapidly, thereby promoting gastrointestinal motility. This study further detected the changes in mouse gastrointestinal hormones through ELISA, and the results showed that ( Figure 3 ), compared with the blank group, the levels of GAS, motilin MTL, and SP in the serum of the model group mice were lower than those of the blank group (P<0.01), and the SS level was higher than that of the blank group, indicating that atropine modeling significantly changed the gastrointestinal hormone levels of mice, leading to gastrointestinal motility disorders; while the low-dose Baiqu administration group, the high-dose Baiqu administration group, and the positive drug mosapride citrate administration group could significantly reverse these changes in gastrointestinal hormone levels. This shows that Baiqu administration can improve gastrointestinal motility disorders by regulating the levels of serum gastrointestinal hormones such as GAS, MTL, SP, and SS.
[0064] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
