Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of food processing, in particular to a functional food based on wolfberry leaf peptide and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] As the leaves of the wolfberry plant, wolfberry leaves contain a rich variety of bioactive ingredients, such as polysaccharides, flavonoids, amino acids and peptides. In recent years, relevant studies have shown that the peptides in wolfberry leaves have a series of biological activities such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory. However, the number of products involving wolfberry leaves on the current market is limited, and they mainly exist in the form of tea or extracts. The in-depth development and utilization of wolfberry leaf peptides and the application of related products are relatively scarce.
[0003] Traditional methods of extracting wolfberry leaf peptides have problems such as low extraction efficiency and easy loss of active ingredients, which makes it difficult for the quality and output of wolfberry leaf peptide products to meet market demand. Therefore, developing a functional food with wolfberry leaf peptide as the core and optimizing the preparation method of wolfberry leaf peptide are of great significance in terms of market value and maintaining human health. Summary of the invention
[0004] The present invention aims to provide a functional food based on wolfberry leaf peptides and a preparation method thereof. By efficiently extracting and purifying active peptides from wolfberry leaves and combining them with other functional ingredients, a new type of food with antioxidant, immunomodulatory and anti-fatigue functions is prepared. At the same time, the preparation process of wolfberry leaf peptides is optimized to improve extraction efficiency and product quality.
[0005] The present invention is achieved in that the raw material composition of the functional food based on wolfberry leaf peptide (by weight percentage) is as follows: wolfberry leaf peptide accounts for 10% to 30%; wolfberry polysaccharide accounts for 5% to 15%; vitamin C accounts for 2% to 5%; dietary fiber accounts for 10% to 20%; natural sweetener accounts for 1% to 3%; and purified water makes up the balance.
[0006] The preparation method of wolfberry leaf peptide is as follows:
[0007] Step 1: Raw material pretreatment
[0008] Choose high-quality raw materials: Select fresh, pest-free, and mildew-free wolfberry leaves. You can choose fresh wolfberry leaves or dried wolfberry leaves. If you use dried wolfberry leaves, you need to ensure that their water content is within a reasonable range, generally controlled at 10% to 15%, to ensure the subsequent extraction effect.
[0009] Washing and crushing: The selected wolfberry leaves are repeatedly rinsed with flowing deionized water to remove dust, impurities and pesticide residues on the surface. After cleaning, drain the wolfberry leaves and then crush them into fine particles using a crusher or grinder. For dry wolfberry leaves, the particle size after crushing should be controlled at 20-40 meshes to increase the contact area with the solvent and enzyme during the subsequent soaking and enzymolysis process and improve the extraction efficiency; for fresh wolfberry leaves, they can be appropriately crushed into a more uniform crumb.
[0010] Step 2: Soaking and Extraction
[0011] Determine soaking parameters: Put the crushed wolfberry leaves into a stainless steel container and add deionized water at a mass ratio of 1:8-10. The soaking temperature is controlled at 10-35°C and the soaking time is 2-10 hours. During the soaking process, a stirring device can be used for appropriate stirring, and the stirring speed can be controlled at 50-100r / min to promote the dissolution of soluble components in the wolfberry leaves.
[0012] Centrifugal separation: After the soaking is completed, the soaking solution is transferred to a centrifuge and centrifuged at a centrifugal speed of 1000-4000 rpm for 10 seconds to 1 minute to remove the precipitate to obtain the first extract.
[0013] Step 3: Heating, sterilization and enzymatic hydrolysis
[0014] Heating and sterilizing: Transfer the first extract to a stainless steel enzymatic hydrolysis tank, slowly heat it to 100°C, and maintain it for 20 minutes to kill the microorganisms and bacteria therein and ensure the stability and safety of the subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis process.
[0015] Cooling and adding enzymes: After sterilization, the temperature of the extract is lowered to 50°C, and then a compound enzyme (such as neutral protease and flavor protease mixed in a 1:1 ratio) is added according to a certain enzyme addition amount. The amount of enzyme added is adjusted according to the weight of the wolfberry leaves and the activity of the enzyme, generally 0.5%-2% of the weight of the wolfberry leaves.
[0016] Enzyme hydrolysis reaction: After adding the enzyme, keep the temperature at 50℃ and carry out the enzymolysis reaction for 2-5 hours. During the enzymolysis process, continue stirring and control the stirring speed at 80-120r / min to ensure that the enzyme is fully in contact with the substrate and improve the enzymolysis efficiency. At the same time, regularly check the pH value of the enzymolysis solution and control it within the range of 6.5-7.5 to maintain the activity of the enzyme.
[0017] Step 4: Ultrafiltration membrane separation and concentration and drying
[0018] Ultrafiltration membrane separation: After the enzymatic hydrolysis is completed, the enzymatic hydrolyzate is separated by an ultrafiltration membrane. The molecular weight cutoff range of the ultrafiltration membrane is 500-1000Da to intercept the wolfberry leaf peptides within the target molecular weight range. During the separation process, deionized water is continuously added to the intercepted solution. When the conductivity of the intercepted solution drops below 1000μs / cm and the protein concentration drops below 3%, the water addition is stopped and the intercepted solution is collected.
[0019] Concentration: The retentate solution is concentrated by vacuum concentration or membrane concentration to 1 / 5-1 / 10 of the original volume to increase the concentration of wolfberry leaf peptide.
[0020] Drying: The concentrated solution can be dried by freeze drying or spray drying. During freeze drying, the concentrated solution is pre-frozen to below -40°C, and then sublimated and dried under a vacuum of 10-30Pa. The drying time depends on the amount of the sample and the performance of the freeze drying equipment, and is generally 24-48 hours. During spray drying, the inlet air temperature is controlled at 180-200°C, and the outlet air temperature is controlled at 80-90°C. The concentrated solution is sprayed into the drying tower in the form of droplets and dried into powder in an instant. Finally, high-purity wolfberry leaf peptide is obtained.
[0021] The preparation method of the functional food based on wolfberry leaf peptide is as follows:
[0022] First, the prepared wolfberry leaf peptide is mixed with wolfberry polysaccharides, vitamin C, dietary fiber, and natural sweetener in a predetermined ratio, and stirred using a high-speed stirrer at a stirring speed of 1000-2000 r / min for 15 to 30 minutes to ensure that the ingredients are evenly mixed.
[0023] Next, the mixed solution is homogenized at a pressure of 20-30 MPa for 2-3 times to ensure the stability and taste of the product. At the same time, a pH adjuster (such as citric acid or sodium hydroxide) is used to adjust the pH value of the mixed solution to a range of 6.0-7.0.
[0024] Finally, the mixture can be made into a powder product by spray drying technology. The inlet air temperature of spray drying is 180-200℃ and the outlet air temperature is 80-90℃; or it can be made into a liquid beverage through filling technology. The mixture needs to be sterilized before filling, such as high-temperature instantaneous sterilization (135-140℃, 3-5 seconds).
[0025] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0026] 1. Raw material innovation: This invention applies wolfberry leaf peptide as the main functional ingredient to the food field for the first time, and successfully develops a new type of food with antioxidant, immunomodulatory and anti-fatigue functions, filling the gap in the application of this raw material in functional food.
[0027] 2. Process innovation
[0028] The use of advanced composite enzymatic hydrolysis technology to extract wolfberry leaf peptides can retain its biological activity to the greatest extent while improving extraction efficiency. The use of ultrafiltration membrane separation technology to purify peptides can effectively remove impurities and improve product purity. The use of spray drying or filling technology effectively ensures the stability and portability of the product, meeting the needs of modern consumers for food convenience.
[0029] 3. Functional innovation: This product not only has the traditional efficacy of wolfberry leaves themselves, but also has multiple functions such as anti-oxidation, immune regulation and anti-fatigue through scientific formula design, which can better meet the diversified health needs of modern consumers.
