The experimental methods, detection methods, etc. involved in the following examples, unless otherwise specified, are all conventional experimental methods and detection methods available in the prior art.
[0029] The method for detecting the content of heavy metals (including arsenic, chromium and cadmium) in Sargassum fusiformis of the present invention refers to "SN / T 0448-2011".
[0030] The method for detecting the content of fishy substances in Sargassum fusiformis of the present invention is as follows: automatic sampling system: weigh 2 g of sample into a 20 mL headspace glass injection bottle, and use GC-IMS to analyze its volatile flavor substances. The injection bottle is placed on the sample rack, incubated at 50°C for 10 min, the incubation speed is 500 rpm, the automatic injection needle draws 500 μL of gas for injection, the injector temperature is 55°C, and the injection speed is 60 mL / min.
[0031] GC system conditions: The instrument analysis used a polar chromatographic column MXT-WAX (15 m×0.53 mm ID, 1.0 μm df, GAS, dortmund, Germany), the column temperature was 40°C, the temperatures before and after the chromatographic column transfer tube were 80°C and 50°C, respectively, and high-purity nitrogen was used as the carrier gas. The carrier gas flow rate was E2, the initial flow rate was 2 mL / min, the analysis was 2 min; it was increased to 10 mL / min, the analysis was 3 min; then it was increased to 15 mL / min, the analysis was 10 min; then it was increased to 50 mL / min, the analysis was 5 min; and finally it was increased to 150 mL / min, the analysis was 5 min. The total analysis time was 25 min.
[0032] IMS system conditions: drift tube length of 98 mm, temperature of 45 °C. Flow rate of 150 mL / min and kept constant. The radioactive source in the drift tube was deuterium, the gas was high-purity nitrogen, and the ionization was set to positive ion mode. Ortho-ketones (C4-C9) were used as external standards to prepare calibration curves under the same analytical conditions to calibrate the retention index of volatile organic compounds. The volatile components of the samples were collected using the instrument's built-in LAV software, and the compounds were qualitatively analyzed in combination with the GC×IMS Library Search software database.
[0033] The thermophilic streptococcus used in the present invention is a conventional strain in the prior art and can be purchased conventionally from Xi'an Mixianer Company.
[0034] Experiment 1 Study on the method of removing heavy metals from Sargassum fusiformis (1) Steaming: Take dried seaweed (soaked), wash, cut into small pieces 1 to 2 cm long, place in water, and steam for 0.5 to 2.5 hours to obtain steamed seaweed; The effects of cooking time (5 levels: 0.5 h, 1.0 h, 1.5 h, 2.0 h, 2.5 h; uncooked Sargassum fusiformis was used as control) on the contents of heavy metals (As, Cr, Cd) in Sargassum fusiformis were investigated. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown in the figure, it can be seen that when the cooking time is 2 hours and 2.5 hours, the removal effect of heavy metals is excellent and there is a significant difference.
[0035] The cooking time was selected as 2 h for subsequent investigation.
[0036] (2) Pickling: Mix the steamed Sargassum fusiformis with citric acid solution (concentration of 0.2% to 1.0%) at a solid-liquid ratio of 1:4 (kg:L) and stir at 50°C for 2 hours.
[0037] The citric acid solutions of various concentrations are prepared with food-grade citric acid and sterile water.
[0038] (a) The effect of citric acid concentration (five levels: 0.2%, 0.4%, 0.6%, 0.8%, 1.0%; uncooked Sargassum fusiformis was used as the control) on the arsenic content in Sargassum fusiformis was investigated. The results are as follows: Figure 4 As shown in the figure, it can be seen that when the citric acid concentration is 0.6% to 1.0%, the effect is excellent and there is a significant difference.
[0039] The citric acid concentration of 0.6% was selected for subsequent investigation.
[0040] (b) The effect of pickling temperature (6 levels: 40℃, 50℃, 60℃, 70℃, 80℃, 90℃; uncooked Sargassum fusiformis was used as control) on the arsenic content in Sargassum fusiformis was investigated. The results are as follows: Figure 5 As shown in the figure, it can be seen that when the temperature is 60-90°C, the effect is excellent and there is a significant difference.
[0041] The temperature was selected as 60°C for subsequent investigation.
[0042] (c) The effect of pickling time (five levels: 0.5 h, 1.0 h, 1.5 h, 2.0 h, 2.5 h; uncooked Sargassum fusiformis was used as the control) on the arsenic content in Sargassum fusiformis was investigated. Figure 6 As shown in the figure, it can be seen that the pickling time has little effect on the arsenic content and there is no significant difference.
[0043] (d) Citric acid response surface optimization experiment and optimal process verification Pickling temperature, pickling time, and citric acid concentration were selected as experimental factors, and As content was selected as the evaluation index. Design-Expert.V8.0.6 software was used to perform a three-factor three-level response surface experimental analysis to obtain a regression model. The regression model was used to predict the optimal process parameters for removing arsenic. The factor levels are shown in Table 1, the response surface analysis scheme and experimental results are shown in Table 2, and the regression model and variance analysis are shown in Table 3. Using Design-Expert.V8.0.6 software to perform a multivariate regression fitting analysis on the data in Table 1, the regression equation can be obtained as follows: Y=64.93424-0.72861A-24.34167B-6.42333C-0.12167AB-0.02333AC-2.37500BC+0.0056778A 2 +27.68750B 2 +2.28750C 2 The verification test was carried out under the optimal process parameters and repeated several times to determine the As content. The verification test results were compared with the predicted values of the regression model to determine the accuracy and reliability of the regression model.

[0046]
[0047] Note: R2=0.9938, R2Adj=0.9859, * indicates significant difference (P<0.05), ** indicates extremely significant difference (P<0.01).
[0048] The citric acid pickling process parameters predicted by the regression model were temperature 70.78℃, pickling time 1.9191 hours, citric acid concentration 0.6414%, and the lowest predicted As value was 22.172 mg / kg. For the convenience of operation, the optimized conditions were changed to: temperature 70℃, pickling time 2 hours, pickling concentration 0.64%. Three parallel experiments were carried out under this optimized condition, and the As content was 22.03 mg / kg±1.21 mg / kg, which was close to the predicted value, indicating that the optimized process parameters were accurate and reliable.
[0049] (3) Microbial fermentation: After the above-mentioned steaming (steaming time is 2 hours) and pickling (the concentration of the citric acid solution is 0.64%, the temperature is 70°C, and the treatment time is 2 hours), the pickled Sargassum fusiformis is obtained; the pickled Sargassum fusiformis is mixed with sterile water at a solid-liquid ratio of 1:4 (kg:L), and the thermophilic Streptococcus seed solution is inoculated at an inoculation amount of 5% (volume percentage), and fermented at 37°C for 2 to 7 days, and then washed.
[0050] The thermophilic streptococcus seed liquid is obtained by the following method: thermophilic streptococcus powder is mixed with sterile water at a solid-liquid ratio of 1:200 (g:ml), and activated at 37° C. for 1 hour to obtain the seed liquid.
[0051] The effects of fermentation time (3 levels: 2 days, 5 days, and 7 days; uncooked Sargassum fusiformis was used as the control) on the contents of heavy metals (As, Cr, and Cd) in Sargassum fusiformis were investigated. Figure 8 , Fig. 9 , Fig.10 As shown in the figure, when the fermentation time is 7 days, the removal effect of heavy metals is excellent and there is a significant difference. The influence of fermentation time on the relative content of fishy substances in Sargassum is shown in Table 4. As can be seen from Table 4, after 2 days, 5 days and 7 days of fermentation with 5% thermophilic Streptococcus, the content of important fishy substances is significantly reduced compared with the untreated sample. Comprehensive observation shows that the content of various fishy substances decreases the most after 5 days of fermentation.
[0052]
[0053] (4) Conclusion The use of steaming, pickling, and microbial fermentation can effectively reduce the content of heavy metals in Sargassum, especially arsenic. The principle of removing heavy metals is that Sargassum will release heavy metal ions into surface water droplets in a steam environment, and the water droplets drip into the bottom of the pot under the action of gravity. Citric acid is a strong chelating agent. Metal ions combine with citric acid and enter the solution. After filtering, Sargassum with low heavy metal content can be obtained. The surface of microorganisms can adsorb heavy metal ions, and the channels on the surface will also transport heavy metals into the cells. After the Sargassum is washed after microbial fermentation, the heavy metal content will drop significantly. The combination of the three methods can significantly reduce the heavy metal content of Sargassum. At the same time, it was unexpectedly found that it can also effectively reduce the content of fishy substances, which has the effect of removing fishy smell, increasing fragrance, and improving the flavor of Sargassum.

Modifications that are obvious to those skilled in the art will fall within the scope of the appended claims.
