[0002] Bile acid is a series of steroidal substances produced during cholesterol metabolism in animals. It has multiple biological activities and is the main active component of bile. Bile acid molecules contain a steroid skeleton consisting of three 6-membered rings and one 5-membered ring, a carboxyl group and different numbers of hydroxyl groups. Its main functions in the body include: promoting the digestion and absorption of lipids, promoting liver circulation and inhibiting the precipitation of cholesterol in bile, inhibiting the growth of intestinal microorganisms, protecting the integrity of the bile duct, and reducing inflammation and sterilization.
[0003] In recent years, research on the types and composition of animal bile acids has continued to deepen. For example, when studying the effects of mammalian intestinal microorganisms on bile acid metabolism, the effects of microorganisms on bile acid metabolism can be evaluated by measuring the content of different bile acid types in animal bile. In addition, some studies have found that the types and content of animal bile acids may be related to the occurrence and development of some diseases, such as liver disease and metabolic diseases. Therefore, it is crucial to determine the types and content of bile acids in animal bile.

[0067] Example 6
[0068] The specific steps for sample testing and determination of the types and contents of various bile acids are as follows:
[0069] 1) The bile acid products obtained in Examples 1 to 5 were weighed and dissolved in chromatographic grade methanol to prepare a 25 mg / ml methanol solution, which was passed through a disposable organic filter membrane (with a membrane pore size of 0.22 μm) to obtain a sample to be tested, which was then tested on a machine.
[0070] Before the machine test, prepare the standard regression curves of the concentration and peak area of the standards of bile acid, deoxycholic acid, chenodeoxycholic acid, hyodeoxycholic acid, and 7-ketolithocholic acid for high performance liquid chromatography determination in advance. Prepare at least 5 standard working solutions of bile acid, deoxycholic acid, chenodeoxycholic acid, hyodeoxycholic acid, and 7-ketolithocholic acid with a concentration gradient of 1 to 10 mg / mL, pass through a disposable organic filter membrane (pore size of 0.22 μm), and obtain each standard solution sample for machine test.
[0071] 2) The prepared standard solution samples and the samples to be tested were subjected to HPLC-UV detection. The external standard method was used for detection, and the test conditions were as follows: chromatographic column: Agilent 5HC-C18 250×4.6mm, 5μm; mobile phase: acetonitrile: phosphoric acid (pH2.6) = 50:50 (v / v); flow rate: 1mL / min; column temperature: 35℃; injection volume: 10μL; UV detector detection wavelength was 192nm.
[0072] The test results are analyzed as follows:
[0073] According to the corresponding relationship between the peak area and concentration of bile acid, deoxycholic acid, chenodeoxycholic acid, hyodeoxycholic acid, and 7-ketolithocholic acid measured by the standard solution, a regression standard curve was made to obtain the following results:
[0074] When the UV detector wavelength is 192nm:
[0075] The standard curve of bile acid is y = 475.74x-283.15R 2 =0.9996
[0076] The standard curve of deoxycholic acid is y = 354.83x-174.17R 2 =0.9991
[0077] The standard curve of chenodeoxycholic acid is y = 508.8x-277.94R 2 =0.9990
[0078] The standard curve of hyodeoxycholic acid is y = 235.61x + 114.1R 2 =0.9994
[0079] The standard curve of 7-ketolithocholic acid is y=2856.8x-299.63R 2 =0.9992
[0080] Wherein x is the concentration of cholic acid, deoxycholic acid, chenodeoxycholic acid, hyodeoxycholic acid or 7-ketolithocholic acid, and y is the peak area; the concentrations of cholic acid, deoxycholic acid, chenodeoxycholic acid, hyodeoxycholic acid and 7-ketolithocholic acid in the samples of Examples 1 to 5 are calculated according to the standard curve.
[0081] The corresponding extraction rate X is calculated based on the concentrations of bile acid, deoxycholic acid, chenodeoxycholic acid, hyodeoxycholic acid, and 7-ketolithocholic acid in the samples of Examples 1 to 5, and the specific calculation formula is as follows:
[0082] X=(C×m) / 25M×100%
[0083] Wherein: C is the concentration of bile acid, deoxycholic acid, chenodeoxycholic acid, hyodeoxycholic acid or 7-ketolithocholic acid in the sample obtained from the standard curve, in mg / mL; M is the mass of animal bile paste raw material; m is the mass of bile acid obtained after animal bile paste extraction.
[0084] The liquid chromatogram of the mixed sample of bile acid, deoxycholic acid, chenodeoxycholic acid, hyodeoxycholic acid and 7-ketolithocholic acid standard products measured by the above-mentioned high performance liquid chromatography (UV detector wavelength 192nm standard product concentration 5mg / ml) is as follows Figure 2 As shown in the chromatogram, it can be seen that the peak times of cholic acid, deoxycholic acid, chenodeoxycholic acid, hyodeoxycholic acid, and 7-ketolithocholic acid are 7.147 min (peak), 19.192 min (peak), 17.056 min (peak), 8.066 min (peak), and 11.330 min (peak), respectively. The liquid chromatograms of the samples of Examples 1 to 5 are shown in FIG. Figures 3 to 7 As shown, from the chromatogram of each sample, it can be intuitively judged whether the sample contains bile acid, deoxycholic acid, chenodeoxycholic acid, hyodeoxycholic acid, and 7-ketolithocholic acid, and the corresponding content can be calculated according to the peak area and the standard curve. Table 1 lists the different bile acid contents in the samples of each embodiment. In addition, it can also be judged according to known literature reports that the unknown bile acids in the pig bile paste of Example 1 and the duck bile paste of Example 3 are hyodeoxycholic acid and allocholic acid, respectively (as shown in Table 1).
