[0021] In the application, the step of hydrolyzing the corn steep liquor comprises the following steps: heating the corn steep liquor, keeping the temperature after heating, cooling the corn steep liquor after keeping the temperature, adding concentrated sulfuric acid to the corn steep liquor, adjusting the pH to below 2.5, and stirring to obtain the corn steep liquor hydrolysate.

[0022] In the application, the corn steep liquor is heated to 100-130 DEG C, preferably 110-125 DEG C, and further preferably 120 DEG C; and the keeping temperature is kept for 10-30 min, preferably 18-28 min, and further preferably 20 min.

[0023] In the application, the corn steep liquor is cooled to 70-90 DEG C, preferably 78-88 DEG C, and further preferably 80 DEG C during the hydrolysis of the corn steep liquor.

[0024] In the application, the volume ratio of sulfuric acid to corn steep liquor is 1:1-4, preferably 1:1.5-3.5, and further preferably 1:2.5. The application increases the proportion of sulfuric acid during hydrolysis and reduces the pH, which is not conducive to the growth of bacteria.

The liquid material is forced to pass through a micro gap under high pressure, so that the material becomes fine and uniform under the action of high pressure and shearing force. When the material passes through the homogenization valve under high pressure, shearing, impact and cavitation effects are generated, so that the particles in the material are broken and the homogenization effect is achieved. The high-pressure homogenization method can effectively crack the residual microorganisms in the corn steep liquor and decompose macromolecular proteins and other substances into easily utilized nutrients.

[0026] In the application, the homogenized corn steep liquor is heated to 70-90 DEG C, preferably 78-88 DEG C, and further preferably 80 DEG C.

[0057] Experimental Example 2

[0058] The corn syrup for fermentation prepared in Example 1 is used to ferment and produce lysine, and the steps are as follows:

[0059] (1) Preparation of primary seed tank medium: 450 g of beet molasses, 2 g of ferrous sulfate, 2 g of manganese sulfate, 40 g of potassium dihydrogen phosphate, 200 g of corn syrup for fermentation, 350 g of ammonium sulfate, 15 mg of copper sulfate, 15 mg of zinc sulfate, 50 mg of biotin and 2 ml of defoaming agent are dissolved in water, and the volume is made to be 10.5 L in a 30 L fermentation tank. Sterilization is carried out at 121℃ for 20 min. 1 kg of glucose powder and 20 g of magnesium sulfate are weighed and dissolved in water, and the volume is made to be 1.5 L in a feeding tank. The plug is wrapped with gauze and cowhide paper, and sterilized in a sterilization pot at 121℃ for 20 min.

[0060] (2) After sterilization, the liquid in the feeding tank is added into the tank through a peristaltic pump. The temperature is set to 32℃, the pH is set to 7.0, the stirring speed is set to 600 r, the tank pressure is set to 0.1 Mpa, and the air volume is set to 7.5 L / min. After maintaining stability for 10 min, the dissolved oxygen is calibrated to 100%. Under the protection of a flame ring, 500 mL of lysine corynebacterium seed is poured into the fermentation tank through the inoculation port. The stirring speed is set to 300 r, the air volume is set to 7.5 L / min, and the tank pressure is set to 0.05 Mpa. During the fermentation process, the stirring speed and air volume are increased when the dissolved oxygen decreases, and the dissolved oxygen is maintained at 30-40%.

[0061] (3) Preparation of large tank medium: 2.5 g of ferrous sulfate, 2.5 g of manganese sulfate, 15 g of potassium dihydrogen phosphate, 300 g of ammonium sulfate, 15 mg of copper sulfate, 15 mg of zinc sulfate, 40 mg of biotin, 200 g of corn syrup for fermentation, 300 g of beet molasses, 10 g of betaine, 15 g of magnesium sulfate and 2 ml of defoaming agent are dissolved in water, and the volume is made to be 11 L in a 50 L fermentation tank. Sterilization is carried out at 121℃ for 20 min.

[0062] ​(4) Preparation of the flow addition of small materials: ferrous sulfate 2 g, manganese sulfate 2 g, phosphoric acid 45 g, magnesium sulfate 55 g, copper sulfate 100 mg, zinc sulfate 100 mg, biotin 40 mg, corn syrup for fermentation 400 g, sugar beet molasses 450 g, betaine 60 g, and antifoaming agent 2 ml were dissolved in water, and the volume was made up to 6 L in a flow addition tank. The tank was sterilized at 121°C for 20 min. The sugar solution and ammonium sulfate for production were taken from the workshop and sterilized at 121°C for 20 min.

[0063] (5) After sterilization, 300 g of the sugar solution was added to the fermentation tank by peristaltic pump. The bacteria in the primary seed tank were transferred to the large tank by a transfer pipe, and the transfer volume was 2.5 L. The temperature was set to 37°C, the pH was set to 6.9, the stirring speed was set to 300 r, the tank pressure was set to 0.05 MPa, the air volume was set to 0.5 m 3 / h, and the dissolved oxygen was calibrated to 100%. The tank was controlled to start fermentation.

[0064] After the pH rose again, the sugar solution, small materials, and ammonium sulfate were added for 24 h. The flow addition ratio of the sugar solution to the small materials was 8:1 (v / v) before 24 h, and 9:1 (v / v) after 24 h. The residual sugar was controlled to 0.5-1.0%, the ammonia nitrogen was controlled to 0.3-0.4%, and the dissolved oxygen was controlled to more than 30% during fermentation. As the fermentation proceeded, the stirring speed, air volume, and tank pressure were gradually increased when the dissolved oxygen was less than 30% to maintain the dissolved oxygen at more than 30% until the highest conditions. When the dissolved oxygen was too high in the late fermentation, the stirring speed and air volume were gradually reduced until the end of fermentation. The tank was discharged after 48 h of fermentation, and the lysine content and conversion rate were determined.

[0065] Experimental Example 3

[0066] The difference from Experimental Example 2 is that the fermentation corn syrup prepared in Example 1 is replaced with the fermentation corn syrup prepared in Comparative Example 1.

[0067] Experimental Example 4

[0068] The difference from Experimental Example 2 is that the fermentation corn syrup prepared in Example 1 is replaced with the fermentation corn syrup prepared in Comparative Example 2.

[0075] Experimental Example 8

[0076] The lysine content is determined by titration.

[0077] The conversion rate is calculated based on the following formula: sugar acid conversion rate = acid yield / total sugar consumption x 100%, acid yield = acid content x tank volume, and total sugar consumption is the actual consumption of glucose mass.

[0078] The results of the determined lysine content and conversion rate are shown in Table 1.

[0079] Table 1 Comparison results of lysine content and conversion rate of each group of fermentation

[0080]

[0081] Lysine fermentation has a relatively mature fermentation process, and it is found during the experiment that it is difficult to have a greater fermentation level improvement by making formula or process improvement. However, as can be seen from the results in Table 1, during the fermentation of lysine, the lysine content and conversion rate of lysine fermented by the fermentation corn steep liquor prepared in Example 1 are improved relative to the fermentation corn steep liquor prepared in Comparative Examples 1-5, indicating that the fermentation corn steep liquor prepared by the preparation process set by the present application has the effect of improving the yield of lysine.

[0082] Experimental Example 9

[0083] L-isoleucine is fermented and produced by using the fermentation corn steep liquor prepared in Example 1, and the steps are as follows:

[0084] (1) Prepare the first-stage seed tank medium: dissolve 0.8 g of ferrous sulfate, 0.5 g of manganese sulfate, 60 g of potassium dihydrogen phosphate, 600 g of fermentation corn steep liquor, 18 mg of copper sulfate, 12 mg of zinc sulfate, 0.16 g of biotin and 2 ml of defoaming agent in water, and make up to 10.5 L in a 30 L fermentation tank, and sterilize at 121°C for 20 min. Weigh 1 kg of glucose powder, 23 g of magnesium sulfate and 400 g of sugar beet molasses, dissolve in water, make up to 1.5 L in a flow tank, wrap the plug with gauze and cow leather, and sterilize in a sterilization pot at 121°C for 20 min.

[0085] (2) After sterilization, the feed liquid in the flow tank was added into the tank by peristaltic pump. The temperature was set at 30°C, pH 7.4, stirring 600 r, tank pressure 0.05 Mpa, air volume 12 L / min, and the stable state was maintained for 5 min before calibration of the dissolved oxygen 100%. Under the protection of the flame ring, 50 mL of Corynebacterium isolevi seed was poured into the fermenter through the inoculation port, and the stirring was set at 300 r, the air volume was 6 L / min, and the tank pressure was 0.05. During the fermentation process, the stirring speed and air volume were increased when the dissolved oxygen decreased, and the dissolved oxygen was maintained at 30-40%. OD detection was started at 8 h, and the detection was performed once every 2 h. After 22 h, the OD value was 0.653, and the pressure was maintained.

[0086] (3) Preparation of large tank medium: ferrous sulfate 50 mg, manganese sulfate 70 mg, potassium dihydrogen phosphate 20 g, ammonium sulfate 60 g, copper sulfate 12 mg, zinc sulfate 14 mg, biotin 0.15 g, and defoaming agent 2 ml were dissolved in water, and the volume was made up to 18 L in a 50 L fermenter. The medium was sterilized at 121°C for 20 min. 4 kg of glucose powder, 19 g of magnesium sulfate, and 430 g of sugar beet molasses were weighed and dissolved in water, and the volume was made up to 6 L in a flow tank. The plug was wrapped with gauze and cowhide paper, and sterilized in a sterilization pot at 121°C for 20 min.

[0087] (4) After sterilization, the feed liquid in the flow tank was added into the tank by peristaltic pump. The temperature was set at 32°C, pH 7.4, stirring 650 r, tank pressure 0.05 Mpa, air volume 1 m³ / h, and the stable state was maintained for 5 min before calibration of the dissolved oxygen 100%. The first stage seed tank liquid was transferred to the large tank by a transfer pipe, and the transfer volume was 4 L. The stirring was set at 300 r, the tank pressure was 0.05, and the ventilation ratio was 0.3, and the tank was controlled.

[0088] (5) During the fermentation process, the initial sugar content was 12 g / dL. When the dissolved oxygen was lower than 20%, the stirring speed was gradually increased to maintain the dissolved oxygen at 20-30%. When the stirring speed was increased to 350 r, the ventilation ratio was increased by 0.1. Then the stirring speed was gradually increased to 400 r, and the ventilation ratio was increased to 0.4. In this way, the highest condition was achieved. In the later stage of fermentation, the stirring speed was gradually reduced when the dissolved oxygen was too high, and the ventilation ratio remained unchanged until the end of fermentation. After 21 h of fermentation, the pH increased, and after 10 min of pH increase, the L-isoleucine acid content and conversion rate were measured.

[0098] The difference from Experimental Example 9 is that the fermentation corn steep liquor prepared in Example 1 is replaced with the fermentation corn steep liquor prepared in Comparative Example 5.

[0099] Experimental Example 15

[0100] The L-isoleucine content is determined by high performance liquid chromatography.

[0101] The conversion rate is calculated based on the following formula: sugar acid conversion rate = acid yield / total sugar consumption x 100%, acid yield = acid content x tank volume, and the total sugar consumption is the actual consumption of glucose mass.

[0102] The determined isoleucine content and conversion rate are shown in Table 2.

[0103] Table 2 Comparison of L-isoleucine content and conversion rate in each group

[0104]

[0105] Isoleucine fermentation itself produces low acid and belongs to low conversion rate fermentation. Compared with other amino acids, it is difficult to greatly improve the conversion rate, and a small increase in the conversion rate is a relatively large change in the experimental or production process. As can be seen from the results in Table 2, during the fermentation of isoleucine, the use of the fermentation corn steep liquor prepared in Example 1 to produce L-isoleucine has improved the L-isoleucine content and conversion rate relative to the fermentation corn steep liquor prepared in Comparative Examples 1-5, indicating that the fermentation corn steep liquor prepared by the preparation process of the present application has the effect of improving the yield of L-isoleucine.

[0106] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application, and it should be noted that for those skilled in the art, without departing from the principles of the present application, a number of improvements and refinements can be made, and these improvements and refinements should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present application.
