Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of microbial spices, and specifically relates to a preparation method and application of aflatoxin, a microbial preparation and apricot spices. Background Art
[0002] In the field of flavor and fragrance production, both traditional artificial synthesis and natural plant and animal extraction methods have certain limitations. Although artificial synthetic fragrances are efficient, the public has doubts about their safety because they may use harmful raw materials and produce by-products. Long-term contact or ingestion may pose potential risks to human health. The extraction process of natural fragrances is complex and inefficient. Due to the limitations of the extraction process, it is difficult to meet the application standards, which not only limits the scope of use but also may cause waste of environmental resources. The use of microbial fermentation technology to prepare flavors and fragrances is relatively green and environmentally friendly through the metabolism of microorganisms, which can effectively reduce potential risks to human health. At the same time, microbial strains will produce different metabolites during the fermentation process, giving the fragrances a unique aroma and a richer sense of hierarchy.
[0003] At present, there is no apricot flavor fermented by Aspergillus flavus for tobacco, and there is no report of adding it to cigarettes. Using the unique metabolic characteristics of Aspergillus flavus to produce a unique biological apricot flavor for tobacco will help meet the market demand for high-quality flavors. Summary of the invention

The following examples are merely exemplary and can only be used to explain and illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, but cannot be construed as limiting the technical solution of the present invention.
[0033] The Aspergillus flavus HS-4 of this application is currently deposited in the General Biological Center of the China Microbiological Culture Collection Administration (CGMCC), located at No. 3, Yard 1, Beichen West Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing, with a postal code of 100101. The deposit date is May 17, 2024, and the deposit number is CGMCC No.41231.
[0034] In the present application, the formula of PDA liquid culture medium is: 30% potato extract powder, 2% glucose, and the formula of PDA solid culture medium is: 30% potato extract powder, 2% glucose, and 2% agar.
[0035] Example 1
[0036] Under sterile conditions, 10 g of jujube forest soil and 90 mL of sterile water were added to a conical flask, cultured at 28°C and 150 r / min for 4 h, taken out, and then inoculated into 100 mL of PDA liquid culture medium at a 10% inoculum (volume fraction) for enrichment culture for 48 h.
[0037] The enriched solution was diluted in series, and 10 -4 , 10 -6 , 10 -8 100 uL of the three dilution concentrations were evenly spread on solid PDA medium and cultured at 28°C for 48-72 h until clear single colonies were formed. Single colonies were picked and purified by streak method. The purified colonies were numbered and stored.
[0038] The purified strain was enriched and activated in PDA medium and then inoculated into apricot juice. It was cultured at 28°C and 150 r / min for 60 h. After the fermentation, a preliminary sensory evaluation was carried out. The strains with obvious aroma changes were marked and saved as HS-4.
[0039] The screened HS-4 strain (screened from the soil of the jujube forest in September 2023) was spread on PDA solid culture medium and cultured in a constant temperature incubator at 28°C for 24 h. The colony morphology was observed. The results were as follows: Figure 1 .like Figure 1 As shown, the HS-4 strain appeared as a milky white irregular shape on the PDA solid culture medium plate, with a fluffy surface, a dense center, a diffuse edge, and a dry colony texture. The strain morphology was observed using a cryo-type high-resolution field emission scanning electron microscope, and the results were as follows: Figure 2 shown.
[0040] Use a DNA extraction kit to extract the genomic DNA of the HS-4 strain, and the PCR amplification system is 25 μL: template DNA (20-50 ng / μL) 1 μL, primer (10 μmol / L) 0.5 μL, dNTP mixed solution (2.5 mmol / L) 1 μL, Taq enzyme 0.2 μL, 10×Buffer 2.5 μL, and ultrapure water 19.8 μL.
[0041] PCR amplification program: 94°C for 4 min; 94°C for 45 s, 55°C for 45 s, 72°C for 1 min, 30 cycles; 72°C for 30 min.
[0042] The PCR product was sent to Shanghai Bioengineering Co., Ltd. for 26S rDNA sequencing. The sequencing results were compared in NCBI GeneBank using BLAST software, and the target strain was identified based on homologous sequence similarity. MEGA 11 software was used to construct a phylogenetic tree based on the 26S rDNA sequencing results using the Neighbor-joining algorithm. The results are shown in Figure 3 As shown, the 26S rDNA of HS-4 strain had the highest similarity with MT528910.1 Aspergillus flavus clone EF 261, so the strain was named Aspergillus flavus.
[0043] The Aspergillus flavus strain HS-4 obtained by screening was cultivated in a conventional manner for 3-4 days, and then the content of aflatoxin produced by the metabolism of the Aspergillus flavus strain HS-4 was detected according to the fourth method of "GB5009.22-2016". The results are shown in Table 1.
[0044] Table 1 Aflatoxin metabolic yield
[0045] According to the test results in Table 1, the Aspergillus flavus strain HS-4 of the present application does not produce aflatoxin during the metabolic process and is safe.

After shaking culture for 24 hours, the Aspergillus flavus activation solution was diluted tenfold and applied to the PDA solid culture medium. The culture was cultured in a constant temperature incubator at 28°C for 60 hours until a clear single colony of Aspergillus flavus was observed. The single colony of Aspergillus flavus was inoculated into the PDA liquid culture medium, and the culture was shaken at 28°C and 150 r / min until the OD 600nm value of the culture liquid reached 0.8-1.0 to obtain the seed liquid; the seed liquid was centrifuged at 4°C and 10000 rpm / min for 8 minutes, the supernatant was discarded, and the solution was re-dissolved with an equal amount of sterile water.
