AI Technical Summary
The complex cross-linked structure of straw makes it difficult to separate lignocellulose components under mild conditions, resulting in resource waste and environmental problems.
Methanesulfonic acid-thymol was mixed with straw at near room temperature to rapidly remove lignin through supramolecular interactions. The mixture was then washed with ethanol and treated with cellulase and xylanase to prepare a carbon source for culturing Bifidobacteria.
This method enables the rapid decomposition of straw at room temperature, and the resulting colorless powder serves as an efficient carbon source. It also allows for the cultivation of high-density Bifidobacteria, solving the problem of straw utilization and reducing resource waste and environmental pollution.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of straw treatment technology, specifically relating to a method for decomposing straw and the application of the decomposed straw. Background Technology
[0002] There is a regional, seasonal, and structural surplus of straw, with a large amount of straw resources going unused and resulting in significant waste. The indiscriminate dumping and burning of straw is rampant, causing not only resource waste but also a series of environmental problems. Its complex cross-linked structure and other characteristics pose significant obstacles to its utilization, as the lignocellulose components are almost impossible to separate under mild conditions. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a method for decomposing straw and the application of the decomposed straw. The addition of mesylate-thymol enables the rapid removal of almost all lignin under near-room temperature conditions, making the decomposition convenient and quick.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] On the one hand, the present invention provides a method for decomposing and processing straw, comprising the following steps:
[0006] S1. Crush the straw;
[0007] S2. After mixing and filtering the crushed straw and methanesulfonic acid-thymol, filter residue is obtained.
[0008] S3. Mix the filter residue and ethanol and filter to obtain a colorless powder, which is the decomposed straw.
[0009] Preferably, in step S1, the straw is crushed to 30-80 mesh.
[0010] Preferably, in step S2, the molar ratio of methanesulfonic acid to thymol in the methanesulfonic acid-thymol mixture is 1:(1.5-3).
[0011] Preferably, in step S2, the ratio of straw to methanesulfonic acid-thymol is 1:(2.2-10).
[0012] Preferably, in step S2, after mixing the crushed straw and methanesulfonic acid-thymol, the reaction temperature is 30-80℃ and the reaction time is 0.5-10 min.
[0013] Preferably, in step S3, the filter residue and ethanol are mixed and washed until colorless, then filtered to obtain a colorless powder.
[0014] On the other hand, the present invention provides the application of the decomposed straw obtained by the aforementioned treatment method in the preparation of a culture medium for culturing Bifidobacteria.
[0015] Preferably, the specific preparation steps of the carbon source in the culture medium for culturing Bifidobacteria are as follows: the colorless powder obtained in step S3 is mixed with water, cellulase and xylanase and concentrated to obtain the carbon source for Bifidobacteria fermentation.
[0016] Preferably, the ratio of colorless powder to water is 1:(2.2-10); and / or,
[0017] The mass ratio of cellulase to colorless powder is (0.1-10):100; and / or,
[0018] The mass ratio of xylanase to colorless powder is (0.1-1):100.
[0019] Preferably, the colorless powder obtained in step S3 is mixed with water, cellulase, and xylanase, and then heated and stirred in a water bath at 30-80°C for 3-48 hours. After the reaction is completed, the mixture is concentrated to obtain the carbon source for Bifidobacterium fermentation.
[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0021] (1) In this invention, thymol reacts with methanesulfonic acid through its hydroxyl group to form methanesulfonic acid-thymol. Methanesulfonic acid-thymol can generate supramolecular interactions between the lignin-de-lignin medium and lignin, and can quickly remove almost all lignin under near room temperature conditions, making decomposition convenient and fast.
[0022] (2) In this invention, cellulase and xylanase are added to the colorless powder obtained after straw decomposition to enzymatically remove lignin solids and obtain glucose, xylose and oligosaccharides, which can be used as carbon sources to cultivate high-density bifidobacteria.
