Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of corn peptide production technology, specifically relating to a corn peptide product with flavor-enhancing function, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Corn peptides are small molecule polypeptides obtained from proteins extracted from corn through targeted enzymatic digestion and specific small peptide separation technology. They are characterized by good solubility, high stability, safety, rich nutrition and easy absorption. They also have functions such as lowering blood pressure, inhibiting alcohol poisoning, anti-fatigue, protecting the liver and improving the body's immunity.

[0003] Corn peptides have significant applications in food flavoring. Enzymatic hydrolysis of corn protein yields a large amount of flavor peptides, which can enhance food quality and flavor, provide flavor precursors, or generate other aromatic substances through Maillard reactions. They are important raw materials for natural compound seasonings. Flavor peptides can be widely used in the flavoring of instant noodles, frozen foods, seasonings, meat products, and pickled vegetables. They can reduce the saltiness of salt, the dryness of monosodium glutamate, enhance the umami and richness of the product, and improve the harmony of various flavors. Furthermore, flavor peptides align with the trend of "natural, nutritious, and safe" food development, possessing excellent development prospects and high utilization value.

[0214] As shown in Table 2, the results show that the 189-10000 Da polypeptide content in the corn peptide products prepared in Examples 1-7 of this invention can reach 40-60%. However, as can be seen from Comparative Examples 1-4, when the amount of amylase, phospholipase, triglyceridease or cellulase used at medium temperature is small, the non-protein components in corn flour cannot be removed well, resulting in the polypeptide content not reaching 40-60%.

[0217] As shown in Table 3, the results indicate that the total nitrogen in the corn peptide products prepared in Examples 1-7 of this invention can reach 8-14%. However, when the amount of amylase, phospholipase, triglyceridease or cellulase used in medium temperature is small, the non-protein components in corn flour cannot be effectively removed, resulting in a low total nitrogen content.

[0224] As shown in Table 5, the results indicate that when the bitterness score of Comparative Example 1 is 10, the bitterness scores of the corn peptide products prepared in Examples 1-7 of this invention are relatively low. This is because the amount of flavor protease added in Comparative Example 1 is insufficient, resulting in a high bitterness score.

[0226] serial number Total free amino acid content (%) Free glutamic acid content (%) Example 1 14.5 3.6 Example 2 16 3.7 Example 3 17.3 4.2 Example 4 16 4.1 Example 5 18 4.5 Example 6 17 4.8 Example 7 13 3.6 Comparative Example 1 8.4 1.9 Comparative Example 2 6.8 1.7 Comparative Example 3 5 1.2 Comparative Example 4 8.1 1.8

[0227] As shown in Table 6, the results show that the total content of free amino acids in the corn peptide products prepared by Examples 1-7 of the present invention is higher than that in Comparative Examples 1-4. Among them, the content of free glutamic acid, which has a umami and rich flavor, is higher than that in Comparative Examples 1-4. This proves that the corn peptide products obtained by the preparation method of the present invention have good umami and rich flavor to a certain extent and have the potential to be applied in the field of condiments.
