Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the fields of food technology and microbial fermentation technology, and in particular to a medicine-food fermented product for improving constipation and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Constipation is a common digestive system problem, often manifested by symptoms such as reduced bowel movements, dry stools and difficulty in defecation. With the changes in modern lifestyle and dietary structure, the incidence of constipation has gradually increased, seriously affecting people's quality of life, especially chronic constipation. The patient's intestinal dysfunction and long-term constipation problems may cause more serious intestinal diseases. Currently, the methods for treating constipation mainly include drug therapy, dietary fiber supplementation and lifestyle intervention, but these methods often have limited efficacy and have certain side effects.

[0003] In recent years, functional foods based on Chinese medicinal materials have received widespread attention in improving constipation. Chinese medicinal materials not only have medicinal value, but also have therapeutic effects. In particular, Chinese medicinal materials that are both medicinal and edible can play a mild and sustained laxative effect by improving intestinal function and regulating gastrointestinal motility. Chinese medicinal materials such as Cistanche, Angelica, Astragalus, and red dates are widely used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat gastrointestinal discomfort and constipation. Among them, Cistanche has the effects of tonifying the kidney and assisting yang, moistening the intestine and promoting bowel movements; Angelica has the effects of nourishing blood and moistening the intestine, nourishing blood and activating blood circulation; Astragalus can replenish qi and raise yang, and enhance intestinal motility; red dates have the effects of nourishing the spleen and stomach and regulating qi and blood. These Chinese medicinal materials work synergistically through multiple pathways, and are expected to form a safe and effective laxative combination.

[0004] Probiotic fermentation technology has been a research hotspot in the food field in recent years. Probiotic fermentation can enhance the biological activity of food ingredients, improve their digestion and absorption rate, and increase the regulatory effect on intestinal microecology. Probiotic fermentation of Chinese medicinal materials can not only retain their original pharmacological activity, but also give them new functional properties, such as regulating the balance of intestinal flora and promoting intestinal peristalsis. Therefore, preparing functional foods based on Chinese medicinal materials that are both medicinal and edible and combined with probiotic fermentation technology for the prevention and improvement of constipation problems is an innovative approach with good application prospects.

[0005] At present, there are many kinds of functional foods for constipation on the market, but most of them use dietary fiber as the main ingredient, and there is a lack of products based on Chinese medicinal materials and probiotic fermentation. The present invention combines Chinese medicinal materials with both medicinal and edible properties, such as Cistanche, Angelica, Astragalus, and Red Dates, with probiotic fermentation technology to develop a new functional food, which aims to regulate intestinal health and improve constipation symptoms in a safe and effective way, and has important innovative value and application prospects.

[0054] Example 1 Fermentation process optimization

[0055] Prepare the fermentation liquid, mix the Chinese medicine raw materials and water in a certain proportion, and stir evenly. Control the initial pH of the liquid to 7, and use sodium carbonate for pH adjustment. Next, the mixed liquid is enzymatically hydrolyzed. The enzymatic hydrolysis process is carried out at a temperature of 45 degrees Celsius and pH 4.8, and the reaction time is one hour. After the enzymatic hydrolysis is completed, continue to load the liquid into the fermentation tank, pass nitrogen gas to reduce the dissolved oxygen content. Set the fermentation temperature and time, and start the automatic control system. At the end of the fermentation, take a sample and filter the sample with two layers of filter cloth. The filtered sample is diluted 100 times. Filter again using a 3kD ultrafiltration membrane. Repeat the experiment three times and take the average value. Take the filtered sample, measure the sugar content by the phenol-sulfuric acid method, and measure the absorbance at 490nm.

[0056] (1) Drawing of standard curve

[0057] Oligosaccharides were used as reference substances and the standard curve was drawn using the phenol-sulfuric acid method. The absorbance of the sample solutions with different gradient concentrations at a wavelength of 490 nm was measured by ultraviolet spectrophotometry, and the linear regression equation of the total oligosaccharides in the sample was obtained as follows: A = 8.5667C + 0.062, R 2 =0.999, such as Figure 1 shown.

[0058] (2) Fermentation time optimization

[0059] The fermentation time was set to 12h, 24h, 36h, and 48h respectively. After the fermentation was completed, the sample was filtered, diluted, ultrafiltered, and the absorbance at 490nm was measured. Figure 2 As shown in the experimental results, it can be seen that the oligosaccharide content in the sample is the highest when the fermentation time is 24h.

[0060] (3) Optimization of fermentation feed-liquid ratio

[0061] The material-liquid ratio was set to 1:5, 1:8, 1:10, and 1:15 respectively. After the fermentation was completed, the sample was filtered, diluted, ultrafiltered, and the absorbance at 490nm was measured. As shown in the figure, the experimental results show that when the fermentation material-liquid ratio is 1:5, the oligosaccharide content is the highest.

[0062] (4) Fermentation temperature optimization

[0063] The fermentation temperature was set to 30°C, 35°C, 40°C, and 45°C respectively. After the fermentation was completed, the sample was filtered, diluted, and ultrafiltered, and the absorbance at 490nm was measured. Figure 4As shown in the experimental results, it can be seen that the oligosaccharide content is the highest when the fermentation temperature is 35°C.

[0064] (5) Orthogonal test

[0065] Table 1 Fermentation orthogonal test table

[0066]

[0067]

[0068] From the orthogonal test results, we can see that the maximum range is 3.532 with the yield as the index. It can be seen that the main influencing factor of the extraction process is the fermentation time, and the order of influence of each factor is A>B>C. From the mean analysis, we can see that the best extraction process is A2B1C2. That is, the fermentation time is 24h, the fermentation material-liquid ratio is 1:5, and the fermentation temperature is 35℃.

[0069] Example 2 Alcohol extraction process optimization

[0070] Optimize the alcohol extraction process of the drug residue, find the best decoction time and material-liquid ratio by adjusting the decoction time and material-liquid ratio, and increase the content of the active ingredients in the compound. In this experiment, Cistanche deserticola was used as the main drug, and its index component echinacoside was used to calculate the content of its active ingredients.

[0071] The fermented medicinal materials were filtered through a filter cloth to obtain the medicinal residues. Three groups of decoction times were prepared: 0.5 hours, 1 hour, 1.5 hours, and 2 hours; three groups of material-liquid ratios were prepared: 1:10, 1:15, and 1:20. The content of echinacoside was determined using a high performance liquid chromatograph HPLC.

[0072] (1) Optimization of alcohol extraction and decoction time

[0073] like Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the experimental results show that when the decoction time is 2h, the yield of echinacoside is the highest, but starting from 1.5h, the growth trend is slow.

[0074] (2) Optimization of alcohol extraction and decoction material-liquid ratio

[0075] like Figure 6 As shown in the experimental results, it can be seen that when the solid-liquid ratio is 1:20, the yield of echinacoside is the highest.

[0076] (3) Orthogonal test

[0077] Table 2 Alcohol extraction orthogonal test table

[0078]

[0079] From the orthogonal test results, we can see that the maximum range is 0.25 with the yield as the index. It can be seen that the main influencing factor of the extraction process is the solid-liquid ratio, and the order of influence of each factor is B>A. The mean analysis shows that the best extraction process is A3B3, that is, the decoction time is 2h and the solid-liquid ratio is 1:20.

[0080] Example 3 Animal Pharmacology Experiment

[0081] (1) Experimental animals and groups

[0082] ① Experimental animals: SPF Kunming mice, male, 7-8 weeks old, weighing 40-50g, were housed in separate cages in the clean animal experimental center of China Pharmaceutical University, with a temperature of 24±1℃ and a humidity of 50±10%. They were given free access to water and food, and the indoor light / dark cycle was 12h. Rats were given normal growth-grade feed. Animal ethics and all experimental procedures were approved by the Animal Ethics Committee of China Pharmaceutical University.

[0083] ② Grouping: After one week of adaptive feeding, the rats were randomly divided into a blank group (K), a model group (M), a positive drug group (Y), and a fermented self-prepared formula group (G) according to their body weight, with 10 rats in each group.

[0084] ③ The blank control group and the model control group were given distilled water in the same way. The test samples were given for 30 days.

[0085] (2) Reagent preparation

[0086] Preparation of prucalopride tablet solution: Use 0.9% sterile saline to prepare prucalopride tablet into a 0.0259 mg / mL solution, which is the positive drug in this experiment.

[0087] Preparation of fermented self-prepared solution: Weigh an appropriate amount of dry powder and dissolve it in 0.9% sterile saline to prepare a solution to ensure that the dosage for mice is 4.68 g / kg / d.

[0088] Preparation of ink: Accurately weigh 100g of gum arabic, add 800mL of water, boil until the solution becomes transparent, weigh 50g of activated carbon (powdered) and add it to the above solution and boil it three times. After the solution cools, add water to make up to 1000mL, store in a refrigerator at 4℃, and shake well before use.

[0089] (3) Establishment of mouse constipation model

[0090] The mice in the model control group, positive drug group and three dose groups were given loperamide 4 mg / kg BW by oral gavage for 30 consecutive days to establish a mouse constipation model. The blank control group was given an equal amount of normal saline. After two hours of loperamide administration every day, the subsequent drug administration treatment of each group was carried out.

[0091] Group G: 4.68 g / kg / d of the test sample was administered by gavage.

[0092] Blank group and model group were intragastrically administered with an equal amount of normal saline.

[0093] After the model was established, on the 30th day of the experiment, mice in each group were fasted for 16 hours (but allowed to drink water). After the fasting, loperamide was administered, and ink was administered by gavage 0.5 hours after the drug administration, and the experimental record began.

[0094] (4) Sample collection and processing

[0095] ①The time of the first black stool and the defecation situation record:

[0096] 0.5 hours after the administration of compound diphenoxylate or loperamide, the mice in the negative control group and the model control group were gavaged with ink, while the mice in each dose group were given ink containing the test samples.

[0097] The animals were housed individually and had normal drinking water and food intake. The time of the first black stool of each mouse from the time of ink injection was recorded, and the number and weight of black stools were recorded within 5 hours.

[0098] ② Determination of small intestinal propulsion rate:

[0099] After the defecation data were recorded, the animals were fasted for 16 hours but not water. After the fasting period, loperamide was given again, and ink was administered intragastrically 0.5 hours after the drug administration.

[0100] After 25 minutes of ink infusion, the mice were killed by cervical dislocation and the small intestine was separated after dissection. After separation of the mesentery, the small intestine segment from the pylorus to the ileocecal part was cut, the small intestine was gently straightened, and the total length of the small intestine and the ink push length were measured.

[0101] The calculation formula of ink advancement rate is:
