[0016] The medium used was MRS liquid medium: peptone 10.0 g, beef extract 10.0 g, yeast extract 5.0 g, glucose 20.0 g, diammonium citrate 2.0 g, sodium acetate 5.0 g, MgSO 4 2.0 g, MnSO 4 0.05 g, K 2 HPO 4 2.0 g, Tween 80 1.0 mL; distilled water 1000 mL; adjust the pH to 6.2 - 6.4, culture temperature 37 °C, culture time 16 h.
[0017] A preparation method of a composite fermentation agent for extending the shelf life of prefabricated dishes, comprising the following steps: (1)Pour Lactobacillus fermentum ( Lactobacillus fermentum )CZ22, Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus ( Lentilactobacillus parabuchneri )CZ23, Lactobacillus parafarraginis ( Companilactobacillus alimentarius )CZ24 into MRS liquid medium respectively on a sterile operating table, and culture at 37 °C for 24 h. The OD600 values of the above three MRS liquid media are 2.1 - 2.3 to obtain the fermentation agent seed liquid.
[0018] MRS liquid medium: peptone 10.0 g, beef extract 10.0 g, yeast extract 5.0 g, glucose 20.0 g, diammonium citrate 2.0 g, sodium acetate 5.0 g, MgSO 4 2.0 g, MnSO 4 0.05 g, K 2 HPO 42.0 g, Tween 80 1.0 mL; distilled water 1000 mL; adjust the pH to 6.2 - 6.4, culture temperature 37°C, culture time 16 h.
[0019] (2) Sterilize the MRS liquid medium at 121°C for 15 min, and immediately cool it to 42°C - 43°C after sterilization. Inoculate the starter culture seed liquid, and inoculate it into the fermentation broth at an inoculation amount of 3% according to the ratio of viable bacteria count of 1:1:1. After stirring evenly, immediately incubate it at a constant temperature of 37°C. When the acidity reaches 1.5% - 2.0%, the fermentation can be ended to obtain the compound fermentation agent, and it is refrigerated at 5°C - 10°C for 24 h for after-ripening to obtain the finished product.
[0020] Components of the fermentation broth: glucose 30.00 g / L, lactose 30.00 g / L, soy peptone 30.00 g / L, K 2 HPO 4 2.29 g / L, MgSO 4 ·7H 2 O 0.80 g / L, tomato juice addition amount 50 ml / L, peanut sprout juice addition amount 50 ml / L, and histidine 0.15 g / L, culture temperature 37°C, culture time 16 h.
[0021] Example 2. Determination of the pH value of the compound fermentation agent during fermentation After activating Lactobacillus fermentum CZ22, Lactobacillus brantae subsp. CZ23, and Lactobacillus alimentarius CZ24 for 2 generations in the MRS liquid medium, inoculate them into the MRS liquid medium at an inoculation amount of 5% according to the ratio of viable bacteria count of 1:1:1, and incubate them at a constant temperature of 37°C. Measure the pH value of the mixed bacterial liquid every 2 h. The pH change of the compound fermentation agent is shown in the following table.
[0022] Time (h) pH 0 6.19 2 6.14 4 5.89 6 5.33 8 4.21 10 4.04 12 3.85 14 3.65 16 3.3 18 3.25 20 3.25 22 3.24 24 3.23
[0023] It can be seen from this experiment that Lactobacillus fermentum CZ22, Lactobacillus brantae subsp. CZ23, and Lactobacillus alimentarius CZ24 can survive and reproduce in an environment with a relatively low pH value, reflecting the acid resistance of Lactobacillus fermentum CZ22, Lactobacillus brantae subsp. CZ23, and Lactobacillus alimentarius CZ24. After 16 h of culture time, the pH value no longer drops significantly and basically reaches stability. The fermentation of the fermentation broth is carried out at 37°C for 16 h.
[0024] Example 3. Determination of the viable bacteria count of the compound fermentation agent After activating Lactobacillus fermentum CZ22, Lactobacillus brantae - like CZ23, and Lactobacillus parafarraginis CZ24 for 2 generations in MRS liquid medium, inoculate them into the fermentation broth at an inoculation amount of 5% according to the ratio of viable cell counts of 1:1:1, and incubate them at a constant temperature of 37°C. The viable cell counts are determined by the plate colony counting method every 4 hours. Prepare MRS agar medium, autoclave it at 121°C for 15 minutes. After sterilization, wait for the medium to cool to 48°C and then pour the plates. Pour about 15 - 20 ml of MRS agar medium into each petri dish. Take samples for gradient dilution. Use a pipette to aspirate 1 ml of the bacterial suspension into a test tube containing 9 ml of sterile normal saline, and dilute the sample to 10 -1 , and repeat the operation to dilute it to 10 -7 . Use a pipette to aspirate 200 μl of 10 -5 , 10 -6 , and 10 -7 diluted bacterial suspensions onto the solidified MRS agar medium, spread them evenly with a sterile spreading rod, and incubate them upside down in a constant temperature incubator at 37°C for 16 hours and then count.
[0025] The changes in the viable cell counts of the complex fermentation bacterium agent during the fermentation process are shown in the following table: Cultivation time Total number of colonies 4 <![CDATA[4.34×10 4 > 8 <![CDATA[7.62×10 6 > 12 <![CDATA[3.77×10 8 > 16 <![CDATA[1.12×10 9 > When Lactobacillus fermentum CZ22, Lactobacillus brantae - like CZ23, and Lactobacillus parafarraginis CZ24 are co - fermented, the maximum viable cell count in the complex fermentation bacterium agent is 1.12×10 9 CFU / ml.
[0026] Example 4: Experiment on the antibacterial, bactericidal, anti - spoilage and preservation effects of the complex fermentation bacterium agent in beef, pork and fish Sample treatment: Completely immerse the raw materials (beef, pork, fish) in the preservative and seal them, and soak them for 8 - 10 hours under refrigeration conditions at 0 - 4°C.

[0029] The conventional preservative group and the test group were respectively set with three kinds of samples: beef, pork, and fish. Five parallel tests were conducted for each sample, and Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes, total colony count, coliform bacteria, Salmonella, Escherichia coli, and molds were detected. The results are shown in the following table:
[0030] When the test sample was beef, the total colony count detected in the test group was 3.52×10 5 CFU / g, and the total colony count detected in the conventional preservative group was 2.6×10 4 CFU / g; the coliform bacteria detected in the test group was <10 CFU / g, and the coliform bacteria detected in the conventional preservative group was 1.21×10 2 CFU / g; the molds detected in the test group was <10 CFU / g, and the molds detected in the conventional preservative group was 2.0×10 2 CFU / g.
[0031] When the test sample was pork, the total colony count detected in the test group was 6.58×10 5 CFU / g, and the total colony count detected in the conventional preservative group was 4.04×10 2 CFU / g.
[0032] When the test sample was fish, the total colony count detected in the test group was 3.30×10 6 CFU / g, and the total colony count detected in the conventional preservative group was 5.02×10 3 CFU / g; the coliform bacteria detected in the test group was <10 CFU / g, and the coliform bacteria detected in the conventional preservative group was 13 CFU / g; the molds detected in the test group was 5 CFU / g, and the molds detected in the conventional preservative group was 35 CFU / g.
[0033] Experimental conclusion: The test groups of beef, pork, and fish added with the compound fermentation agent had significantly better effects in inhibiting coliform bacteria and molds than the conventional preservative group, proving that the compound fermentation agent can effectively inhibit a variety of harmful microorganisms in the pretreatment of beef, pork, and fish ready-to-eat dishes, with good antibacterial effects and extended food shelf life.
[0034] Example 5. Effect of adding compound fermentation agent on the shelf life of pre-packaged crucian carp Experimental conditions: From October 15, 2024 to January 17, 2025 in Weifang, Shandong, with the temperature controlled at 18℃ - 38℃.
[0035] Sample treatment: Completely immerse the crucian carp in the preservative and seal it, and soak it for 8 - 10 hours under refrigeration conditions of 0 - 4℃.
[0036] Experimental group: Conventional preservative group (adding nisin, the mass ratio of nisin to crucian carp is 1:2000), experimental group (adding compound fermentation agent, the mass ratio of compound fermentation agent to crucian carp is 1:2000).
[0037] The conventional preservative group and the experimental group were each conducted with 5 parallel tests. The appearance of pre-packaged crucian carp was detected every 10 days. Staphylococcus aureus was detected according to GB 4789.10, Salmonella was detected according to GB 4789.4, and Escherichia coli was detected according to GB 4789.3.
