[0002] Dendrobium candidum is a precious Chinese herbal medicine with high medicinal value and health care functions. Traditionally, people use Dendrobium candidum by decocting or making tea, but these methods often fail to fully utilize its active ingredients. With the development of science and technology, people have begun to explore more efficient extraction and concentration methods in order to obtain better quality Dendrobium candidum products.

[0003] However, due to the high content and complex distribution of active ingredients in Dendrobium officinale, existing extraction technologies often fail to achieve ideal results, and some sensitive ingredients may be destroyed during the extraction process. Therefore, it is particularly important to develop an extraction and concentration method that can effectively retain the active ingredients in Dendrobium officinale. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of this, the present invention proposes a concentrated Dendrobium officinale powder and a preparation method and application thereof, aiming to provide a new method for extracting and concentrating Dendrobium officinale to maximize the retention of effective ingredients in Dendrobium officinale while reducing damage to sensitive components.

[0005] The present invention provides a method for preparing a concentrated powder of Dendrobium officinale, comprising:

[0006] After soaking the Dendrobium officinale in a bamboo leaf-based additive, the Dendrobium officinale pretreatment material is dried to obtain; after drying the Sophora alopecuroides, the Sophora alopecuroides is crushed, and then mixed with the Dendrobium officinale pretreatment material and spray-dried and concentrated to obtain the Dendrobium officinale concentrated powder;

[0007] The preparation method of the bamboo leaf-based additive comprises: fermenting fresh bamboo leaves, and crushing and screening the fermented mixture after the fermentation is completed to obtain the bamboo leaf-based additive.

[0008] Preferably, the preparation method of the bamboo leaf-based additive further comprises:

[0009] Drying the fresh bamboo leaves at 45±5° C. until the moisture content of the fresh bamboo leaves drops below 10%, thereby obtaining dried bamboo leaves;

[0010] After the dried bamboo leaves are crushed into bamboo leaf powder with a particle size of 50-100 nm, the bamboo leaf powder, water and chitosan are mixed to obtain a nano suspension;

[0011] The nano suspension is fermented by microorganisms, and after the fermentation is completed, the fermentation mixture is crushed and sieved to obtain the bamboo leaf-based additive.

[0012] Preferably, the microorganism is lactic acid bacteria.

[0013] Preferably, the Dendrobium officinale is fresh Dendrobium officinale.

[0014] Preferably, after soaking the Dendrobium officinale in the bamboo leaf-based additive, drying comprises:

[0015] The Dendrobium officinale is soaked in the fermented bamboo leaf extract, and after soaking, the Dendrobium officinale is dried to obtain the Dendrobium officinale pretreated material.

[0016] Preferably, when the Dendrobium officinale is dried after soaking, the drying temperature does not exceed 40° C. and the drying time does not exceed 12 hours.

[0022] The present invention also proposes an application of the above-mentioned concentrated Dendrobium officinale powder in the preparation of antioxidant and / or immune enhancement products.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] 1. Improve the extraction efficiency of active ingredients

[0025] Fermentation enhances extraction rate: Compared with traditional hot water extraction, alcohol extraction and other methods, the fermentation process can utilize the metabolism of microorganisms to promote the degradation, transformation and release of effective ingredients (such as polysaccharides, flavonoids, cyclic peptides, etc.) in Dendrobium officinale. The enzymes secreted by microorganisms can destroy the cell wall, making the effective ingredients inside the plant easier to dissolve and extract, greatly improving the extraction efficiency.

[0026] Low-temperature extraction protects active ingredients: The fermentation process is usually carried out under mild conditions, avoiding thermal degradation of active ingredients at high temperatures, and can maintain the biologically active ingredients in Dendrobium officinale, especially polysaccharides and flavonoids, to the greatest extent.

[0027] 2. Enhance the biological activity of Dendrobium candidum

[0028] Microbial transformation generates new active substances: During the fermentation process, the metabolism of microorganisms can not only degrade the macromolecular substances in Dendrobium officinale, but also synthesize new secondary metabolites. These products may have stronger biological activities than the original ingredients, such as enhancing immunity, anti-oxidation, and anti-tumor effects.

[0029] Transformation of polysaccharides and phenolic substances: Fermentation can convert the polysaccharides and phenolic compounds in Dendrobium officinale into smaller molecular and more active substances. The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of these substances are stronger than those of unfermented ingredients and have better health care effects.

[0030] 3. Enhance the bioavailability of Dendrobium candidum

[0031] Cell wall destruction and release of active ingredients: The dense structure of the cell wall of Dendrobium officinale makes it difficult to completely extract the active ingredients. Through the fermentation process, the enzyme activity of microorganisms can effectively degrade the cell wall and improve the bioavailability of active ingredients. In addition, the enzymes secreted by microorganisms during the fermentation process can also promote the release of active ingredients through dissolution and diffusion, improve their solubility in aqueous solution, and thus improve their bioavailability.

[0032] 4. No need for high temperature and high pressure conditions to reduce the destruction of nutrients

[0033] Operation under mild conditions: Compared with the traditional high-temperature extraction method, the fermentation process is carried out at room temperature or low temperature, which avoids the damage of high temperature to the active ingredients in Dendrobium candidum, especially the significant protective effect on heat-sensitive polysaccharides and flavonoids. This allows the fermented extract to better retain the original nutrients and pharmacological effects.

[0034] 5. Improve the stability of the extract

[0035] Antioxidant environment enhances stability: During the fermentation process, substances such as lactic acid produced by microbial metabolism can maintain the acidic environment of the solution and reduce the occurrence of oxidation reactions. This environment helps stabilize the active ingredients in Dendrobium officinale, prevents them from degradation during storage, and prolongs the shelf life of the product.

[0036] Synergistic effect of active ingredients: The new substances produced by microbial fermentation and the ingredients in traditional Dendrobium officinale work together to produce a synergistic effect, making the biological activity of the final extract more lasting and stable.

[0037] 6. Green and environmentally friendly, reducing dependence on organic solvents

[0038] Reduce the use of chemical solvents: Traditional extraction methods often rely on organic solvents (such as ethanol, methanol, etc.) for extraction, which poses the risk of solvent residues and environmental pollution. The use of fermentation technology can reduce dependence on organic solvents and use water or other green solvents, which is in line with the trend of modern green chemistry and has higher environmental protection and safety.

[0039] 7. Strong controllability and adjustable process

[0040] Synergistic effect with auxiliary materials such as bitter beans: During the fermentation process, the combination of bitter beans and other auxiliary materials can produce additional synergistic effects and improve the overall effect of Dendrobium officinale. This process optimization makes the product more targeted and effective in different application scenarios.

[0041] In summary, this method effectively improves the extraction efficiency and biological activity of Dendrobium officinale through fermentation technology, improves its bioavailability, and enhances its health functions such as antioxidant and immunomodulatory. It is operated under mild conditions, which can not only protect the active ingredients in Dendrobium officinale, but also reduce the dependence on chemical solvents, and has significant environmental protection and sustainability advantages. The Dendrobium officinale extract obtained by this method can have higher added value and application potential in the market. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0173] Comparative Example 3

[0174] Compared with Example 1, the only difference is that the comparative example does not add sophora alopecuroides.

[0175] Test Example 1

[0176] The concentrated powders obtained in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were subjected to performance tests.

[0177] 1. Test indicators and methods

[0178] 1. Antioxidant capacity test

[0179] Test method: DPPH free radical scavenging ability determination method is used.

[0180] Test parameters: The sample concentration was 1 mg / mL, the absorbance change (OD value) was measured and the free radical scavenging rate (%) was calculated.

[0181] Formula: Clearance rate (%) = (A0−A1) / A0×100%;

[0182] Among them, A0 is the absorbance of the blank control, and A1 is the absorbance of the sample after reaction.

[0183] 2. Test of immune enhancement effect

[0184] Test method: The proliferation rate was determined by MTT method through in vitro mouse spleen cell proliferation experiment.

[0185] Test parameters: Sample concentration was 10µg / mL, and OD570 value was recorded.

[0186] Formula: Proliferation rate (%) = (OD experimental group − OD blank group) / OD blank group × 100%.

[0187] 3. Determination of polysaccharide content

[0188] Test method: The polysaccharide content of the sample was determined by phenol-sulfuric acid colorimetry.

[0189] Test parameters: Use glucose as the standard, draw a standard curve, and calculate the polysaccharide content (mg / g) in the sample.

[0190] 2. Testing process

[0191] Sample preparation: Each group of samples was dissolved in distilled water to prepare a 1 mg / mL solution. Each test was repeated 3 times and the average value was taken.

[0192] Data recording: The DPPH clearance rate, splenocyte proliferation rate and polysaccharide content of each group of samples were recorded. All experiments were carried out under strict environmental conditions (temperature 25°C, humidity 50%).

[0193] 3. Test Results

[0194] The test results are shown in Table 1.

[0195] Table 1

[0196]

[0197] As shown in Table 1, the antioxidant capacity, immune enhancement effect and polysaccharide content of Examples 1-3 are all higher than those of Comparative Examples 1-3. This shows that in the preparation process of the concentrated powder of Dendrobium Officinale, the use of bamboo leaf-based adjuvants and bitter beans can significantly improve the antioxidant capacity and immune enhancement effect of the product, while increasing the polysaccharide content. Comparative Example 1 does not use bamboo leaf-based adjuvants, and its various indicators are lower than those of Example 1, indicating that bamboo leaf-based adjuvants have a positive effect on improving the performance of the concentrated powder of Dendrobium Officinale. Comparative Example 2 directly uses dried Dendrobium Officinale without undergoing a specific treatment process, and its performance index is also lower than that of Example 1, which may be because the specific treatment process helps to extract and retain more effective ingredients. Comparative Example 3 does not add bitter beans, and its performance index is the lowest, indicating that bitter beans also play an auxiliary role in improving the performance of the concentrated powder of Dendrobium Officinale. Therefore, taking all factors into consideration, the preparation method of Example 1 is the most ideal and can obtain the concentrated powder of Dendrobium Officinale with the best performance.

[0208] 5. Principle and Mechanism

[0209] From a microscopic perspective, the principles of Dendrobium officinale fermentation and extraction methods mainly involve multiple processes such as biochemical transformation, cell wall disruption, dissolution diffusion and molecular stabilization. These processes maximize the release of the effective ingredients of Dendrobium officinale and enhance its biological activity through the synergistic effect of microorganisms and physical and chemical means. The following is an analysis of the specific principles:

[0210] 1. Biochemical transformation of microbial fermentation

[0211] During the fermentation process, the added microorganisms (lactic acid bacteria) degrade, transform and activate the macromolecular substances (such as polysaccharides, proteins and phenols) in Dendrobium officinale through their metabolic activities, producing more active secondary metabolites:

[0212] Polysaccharide degradation: Enzymes secreted by microorganisms can degrade the macromolecular polysaccharides in Dendrobium officinale into oligosaccharides or oligosaccharides, which have higher water solubility and bioavailability and are easily absorbed by the human body.

[0213] Phenolic transformation: The metabolism of microorganisms can convert phenolic compounds into small molecule phenols, increasing their antioxidant capacity.

[0214] Secondary metabolite production: Microbial fermentation can also synthesize metabolites such as lactic acid and short-chain fatty acids, which have additional immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory effects.

[0215] 2. Cell wall disruption and component release

[0216] The cell wall of Dendrobium officinale is mainly composed of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin, with a dense structure and difficult to be destroyed, which limits the release of active ingredients:

[0217] Physical action: Physical means such as ultrasound and mechanical disruption can directly destroy the cell wall and release the active ingredients in the cell.

[0218] Enzymatic cell wall breaking: During the fermentation process, the cellulase and xylanase secreted by microorganisms can degrade the cellulose and hemicellulose in the plant cell walls, further releasing the flavonoids, polysaccharides and cyclic peptide components in the cells.

[0219] Solution osmosis: The acidic environment of the fermentation broth (metabolites such as lactic acid) can dissolve some cell wall components and accelerate the diffusion of effective ingredients into the liquid phase.

[0220] 3. Dissolution and diffusion mechanism

[0221] During the fermentation and extraction process, the dissolution and diffusion of active ingredients are affected by physical and chemical conditions such as solvent, temperature, and stirring:

[0222] Diffusion dynamics: After the cell wall is broken, the active ingredients in the cell diffuse outward driven by the concentration gradient. Appropriate stirring can accelerate this process.

[0223] 4. Molecular stabilization and synergistic effect

[0224] During extraction and subsequent processing, some active ingredients may be degraded by the external environment. Molecular stabilization is achieved through the following mechanisms:

[0225] Antioxidant environment: Secondary metabolites in the fermentation broth (such as lactic acid) can reduce the redox potential of the solution and inhibit the oxidative degradation of the target components.

[0226] Protective effect of polysaccharides: Dendrobium officinale polysaccharides form a protective layer in the solution, which can stabilize phenols and flavonoids and delay their degradation.

[0227] Synergistic effect: The combination of ingredients of Dendrobium officinale and Sophora alopecuroides produces a synergistic effect. For example, certain alkaloids of Sophora alopecuroides can enhance the antioxidant capacity of flavonoids in Dendrobium officinale, thereby improving the overall biological effect.

[0228] 5. The auxiliary mechanism of bitter bean

[0229] The trace alkaloids and other active ingredients contained in bitter beans can enhance the effects of Dendrobium officinale through the following mechanisms:

[0230] Promote absorption: Certain active ingredients in bitter beans can improve the gastrointestinal environment and promote the absorption of polysaccharides and flavonoids in Dendrobium officinale.

[0231] Enhance anti-inflammatory and immune regulation: The alkaloids in bitter beans work synergistically with Dendrobium officinale polysaccharides to further enhance the activity of immune cells and anti-inflammatory effects.

[0232] Summary: From a microscopic perspective, this method utilizes multiple mechanisms such as microbial metabolic transformation, cell wall destruction, and effective ingredient stabilization to transform the complex macromolecular components in Dendrobium officinale into more easily absorbed small molecular active substances, significantly improving its biological activity. At the same time, through the synergistic effect with Sophora alopecuroides, the overall function is further enhanced. The optimization of these microscopic mechanisms is the scientific basis of this technology in improving the biological effects of Dendrobium officinale.
