Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of biotechnology, and particularly relates to a fermented quinoa chickpea with probiotic function and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The five-fingered ginseng is a fig of the Moraceae family, with its root as the main edible part. It is widely grown in Guangxi, Guangdong and other regions, and is a local Chinese medicinal material in the Lingnan region, known as the "Guangdong ginseng". The five-fingered ginseng is sweet and mild in nature, and has the effects of replenishing qi and deficiency, promoting dampness and relaxing muscles, strengthening the spleen and lungs. As a plant with both medicinal and edible properties, it has a long history and is widely used. The five-fingered ginseng contains a variety of active ingredients, mainly including flavonoids, coumarins, phenylpropionic acid, lignans, etc. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the five-fingered ginseng has the effects of antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, analgesic and tranquilizing the mind, and strengthening the body. In recent years, modern medical research has found that the active ingredients of the five-fingered ginseng have the ability to improve the structure of intestinal microbial communities and maintain intestinal health.

[0003] Chickpea is an annual herb and the third largest grain legume in the world (FAO, 1994). In the 1980s, hundreds of chickpeas were introduced from the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICAR) and the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) and widely planted in Gansu, Qinghai and Xinjiang, China, boosting grain production in western my country. Chickpea protein is considered an important source of high-quality dietary protein because of its well-balanced essential amino acid composition and high bioavailability. In addition, chickpeas can be hydrolyzed by enzymes to form a variety of biologically active proteins, which can inhibit the activity of angiotensin I converting enzyme and reduce antigenic sensitization. Chickpeas contain oligosaccharides, which can promote the synthesis of short-chain fatty acids, vitamins, etc. by probiotics. Therefore, chickpeas have received more and more attention as a health and leisure food.

[0004] Fermented products made from chickpeas fermented with lactic acid bacteria can not only produce highly active probiotics, but also effectively utilize chickpea proteins and sugars, as well as a variety of active substances produced by microbial metabolism, and give them unique flavor and nutrition, enriching the development and utilization of chickpea products. Summary of the invention

[0014] Preferably, in step 2, 3 parts of an aqueous solution of 10% by mass of white sugar are added to each portion of the quinoa chickpeas and the mixture is steamed for 1.5 hours.

[0015] Preferably, the lactic acid bacteria in step 4 are Lactobacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus casei, and the mixing ratio is a volume ratio of Lactobacillus plantarum liquid to Lactobacillus casei liquid of 1:1.

[0016] Preferably, the lactic acid bacteria activation method in step 4 is: after the lactic acid bacteria are revived in MRS agar medium, they are inoculated in MRS liquid medium for expansion culture for 48 hours, and the logarithmic phase lactic acid bacteria are taken and the cell density is adjusted to 1.0×10 7 CFU / mL, prepare lactic acid bacteria seed solution, and dilute the seed solution to 1.0×10 6 CFU / mL, and then mix the Lactobacillus plantarum solution and the Lactobacillus casei solution in a volume ratio of 1:1.

[0017] Preferably, the inoculated activated lactic acid bacteria are inoculated into a mixture of quinoa and chickpeas at a volume ratio of 8%.

[0018] Preferably, the fermentation conditions in step 4 are: fermentation in a constant temperature incubator at 35-37°C for 2-3 days.

[0019] Preferably, the low-temperature storage in step 5 is carried out at 4° C. and is sealed.

[0029] In this embodiment, the lactic acid bacteria selected are Lactobacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus casei. Other commercial fermented lactic acid bacteria, such as Lactobacillus, Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, etc., may also be selected.

[0030] After lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus lactis ACCC 10183 and Lactobacillus plantarum BNCC194165) were revived in MRS agar medium, they were inoculated in MRS liquid medium for expansion culture for 48 h, and the logarithmic phase lactic acid bacteria were selected and the cell density was adjusted to 1.0×10 7 CFU / mL, prepare lactic acid bacteria seed solution, and dilute the seed solution to 1.0×10 6 CFU / mL, and then mix the Lactobacillus plantarum solution and the Lactobacillus casei solution in a volume ratio of 1:1.

[0031] Weigh 3kg of chickpeas, clean them, soak them in 10L of water overnight, and drain the water. Mix them with 1kg of five-fingered peach, add 3L of water containing 10% white sugar by mass, cook for 1.5h, and let it cool naturally ( Figure 1 ). Inoculated at a volume ratio of 8% with a viable count of 1.0×10 6CFU / mL lactic acid bacteria mixture (Lactobacillus lactis ACCC 10183 purchased from China Agricultural Microbial Culture Collection and Lactobacillus plantarum BNCC194165 purchased from Beijing Beina Chuanglian Biotechnology Research Institute, mixed in a volume ratio of 1:1) was naturally fermented in a 37°C constant temperature incubator for 2 days. The mixture was sealed and stored at 4°C to obtain fermented five-fingered ginseng chickpeas. 1g of fermented five-fingered ginseng chickpeas was taken out to determine the number of viable bacteria during the fermentation process ( Figure 2 ), after fermentation, the number of viable bacteria in the fermented five-fingered ginseng chickpeas reached 1.0×10 9 CFU / g. The methods for determining the nutritional components were: water activity was determined by water activity meter method, total sugar level was determined by phenol-sulfuric acid titration method, total acid level was determined by phenolphthalein titration method, crude fat content was determined by Soxhlet extraction method, total protein content was determined by Kjeldahl method, and dietary fiber was determined by enzyme gravimetric method (Table 1).
