Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical fields of biological fermentation and skin care raw materials, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a Cordyceps militaris fermentation product with moisturizing and anti-wrinkle effects. Background Art

[0003] As a medicinal and edible fungus, Cordyceps militaris contains 18 kinds of amino acids, various vitamins, more than 30 trace elements, rich protein, polysaccharide and fat basic nutrients, and also contains various functional components. At present, it has been found that Cordyceps militaris polysaccharide and cordycepin have pharmacological effects such as antibacterial, anti-fatigue, anti-tumor, anti-infection, immune regulation, blood sugar lowering, and anti-aging. Compared with solid fermentation to obtain Cordyceps militaris fruiting bodies, the advantages of liquid fermentation of Cordyceps militaris mycelia in terms of fermentation scale, mycelial growth rate, growth density, and controllability enable the rapid and efficient acquisition of metabolically active substances of Cordyceps militaris mycelia by liquid deep culture. Existing patents such as CN118064507A, CN111172216A, CN104497160A, CN113462725B, etc. disclose the use of Cordyceps militaris liquid fermentation methods to obtain intracellular or extracellular products with different activities by using different fermentation raw materials and extraction processes. Among them, CN118064507A discloses adding licorice to the Cordyceps militaris fermentation medium, and the obtained Cordyceps militaris two-way fermentation broth has significantly improved moisturizing, anti-aging, and repair effects on the skin compared with the fermentation broth without adding licorice; CN111172216A discloses a liquid fermentation medium formula: 50 g of sucrose, 4 g of KNO3, 1 g of KH2PO4, 1 g of MgSO4·7H2O, 0.05 g of vitamin B1, 1000 mL of water, and a pH value of 6.5, and prepares Cordyceps militaris polysaccharide with the function of inhibiting macrophages from secreting NO as Cordyceps militaris intracellular polysaccharide and Cordyceps militaris extracellular polysaccharide; CN113462725B discloses inoculating Cordyceps militaris strains into Artemisia annua L. medium for cultivation, and extracting Cordyceps militaris secondary metabolites with skin acne-removing, repairing, and soothing effects from the mycelia; CN104497160A discloses a liquid fermentation medium formula: 50 g of sucrose, 4 g of KNO3, 1 g of KH2PO4, 1 g of MgSO4·7H2O, 0.05 g of vitamin B1, 1000 mL of water, and a pH value of 6.5, and prepares a Cordyceps militaris polysaccharide extract applied to lipid-lowering drugs or health foods.

[0004] Wheat germ is the life source of wheat grains and contains extremely rich and high-quality proteins, fats, various vitamins, and some trace physiological active ingredients. Currently, the functional components extracted from wheat germ are mostly used in various health foods. There are few reports on using fermentation technology to enhance the skin care efficacy of the active ingredients in wheat germ. CN118374366A discloses fermenting a wheat germ enzymolysis solution with Kluyveromyces marxianus at 42°C - 45°C, and the resulting fermentation broth has stronger skin moisturizing and skin elasticity enhancing abilities. Currently, no application research has been found on fermenting and transforming wheat germ with Cordyceps militaris to prepare fermentation products for the fields of moisturizing and anti-wrinkle skin care. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a Cordyceps militaris fermentation product with moisturizing and anti-wrinkle effects in view of the deficiencies of the above-mentioned existing technologies. This fermentation product has significant moisturizing, anti-wrinkle, and skin tightening effects. The Cordyceps militaris fermentation product with moisturizing and anti-wrinkle effects of the present invention is prepared by fermenting wheat germ culture solution with Cordyceps militaris. The fermentation broth is filtered, concentrated, ethanol-precipitated, filtered after precipitation, and then dried and pulverized to obtain a soluble protein-polysaccharide complex fermentation product.

[0006] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0007] A Cordyceps militaris fermentation product with moisturizing and anti-wrinkle effects, characterized in that it is prepared by the following method:

[0008] (1) Prepare a Cordyceps militaris strain slant: Inoculate the Cordyceps militaris mother strain on a solid slant medium and perform activation culture at 22 - 32°C for 8 - 10 days to obtain a Cordyceps militaris strain slant;

[0009] (2) Prepare a wheat germ culture solution: By weight percentage: 2 - 5% glucose, 0.4 - 0.6% potassium dihydrogen phosphate, 0.2 - 0.6% magnesium sulfate heptahydrate, and the remaining amount is wheat germ enzymolysis solution. After preparation, sterilize at 105°C - 121°C for 20 - 30 minutes and cool to 25 - 40°C;

[0010] (3) Fermentation and transformation: Pick a Cordyceps militaris solid slant strain with an area the size of a fingernail and inoculate it into 200 ml of wheat germ liquid medium. The fermentation temperature is 30 - 32°C, control the rotation speed at 150 - 220 rpm / min, and perform shaking culture for 5 - 8 days. Boil the fermentation broth to sterilize and cool it to room temperature, then centrifuge at 8000 - 10000 rpm / min for 20 minutes to remove hyphae and insoluble substances to obtain a clarified fermentation broth;

[0011] (4) Product separation: Concentrate the fermentation filtrate to 1 / 20 of its weight, add 4 - 5 times its weight of anhydrous ethanol for ethanol precipitation; dry the precipitated protein-polysaccharide at 60 - 80°C for 4 - 6 hours, then pulverize it through a 100-mesh sieve to obtain a soluble protein and polysaccharide complex;

[0012] Furthermore, the formula of the solid slant medium in step (1) is by weight ratio: 1-2% glucose, 0.4-0.6% potassium dihydrogen phosphate, 0.2-0.6% magnesium sulfate heptahydrate, 0.3-0.8% peptone, 2.5-3.0% agar, and the balance is potato decoction; the preparation method of the potato decoction is: put 100 g of potatoes into 900 mL of water, boil for 30-50 min, filter, and the filtrate is the potato decoction.

[0013] Furthermore, the preparation method of the wheat germ enzymolysis solution in step (2) is: ultramicro-pulverize defatted wheat germ to 800-1000 mesh, add 20 times the weight of water of wheat germ, add a composite enzyme of cellulase and trypsin, the addition amount of cellulase is 0.2-0.6% of the weight of wheat germ, the addition amount of trypsin is 0.1-0.5% of the weight of wheat germ, adjust the pH to 6.8-7.0 with sodium hydroxide, and treat and enzymolyze at 35-50 °C for 3-5 hours to obtain wheat germ enzymolysis solution. Defatting wheat germ can prevent the presence of grease in the extract, which will hinder the contact and combination of hyphae with oxygen and reduce the fermentation efficiency. Defatted wheat germ can be obtained by low-temperature pressing method, solvent extraction method, or supercritical CO2 extraction method. Wheat germ is rich in protein, colloid, polysaccharide, cellulose, etc., which are distributed in the germ tissue. Hydrolysis with a composite enzyme of cellulase and trypsin can effectively release them for Cordyceps militaris fermentation and metabolism conversion. The advantage of ultramicro-pulverization is that after micronization, the enzymolysis efficiency of the composite enzyme is improved.

[0014] Furthermore, the prepared soluble protein and polysaccharide complex has significant moisturizing and anti-wrinkle effects, and acceptable excipients for cosmetics can be added to make cosmetics.

[0015] Furthermore, the cosmetics include any one of cream, essence, lotion, facial cleanser, and shampoo.

[0016] Furthermore, for the said cosmetics, calculated by mass percentage, the dosage of the soluble protein polysaccharide is 0.1%-5.0% of the cosmetics.

[0017] The beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0018] (1) The present invention compares the differences in the activity of fermentation products of different strains and different culture medium matrices through theoretical research and experimental testing, and finally finds that wheat germ enzymatic hydrolysate is used as the main culture medium component, and Cordyceps militaris is used to ferment the culture medium. On the one hand, the nutrients of wheat germ culture medium can provide rich nutrition for the accumulation of metabolites by liquid fermentation of Cordyceps militaris hyphae, and produce diversified active metabolites and enzymes. On the other hand, Cordyceps militaris produces a variety of special enzymes, which modify the structure of certain material components in wheat germ and improve its functionality. Finally, soluble proteins and polysaccharide complexes with moisturizing, anti-wrinkle and firming effects are formed in the fermentation liquid, and the activity is significantly better than the soluble proteins and polysaccharide complexes obtained by combining other strains and fermentation culture medium matrices. The present invention ferments germ culture liquids from different crop sources by Cordyceps militaris, including corn germ, wheat germ, and rice germ. It is found that Cordyceps militaris ferments wheat germ culture liquid, and the obtained soluble protein and polysaccharide complex is used for skin external use, and has significant moisturizing and anti-wrinkle effects.

[0019] (2) The soluble protein and polysaccharide complex prepared by the present invention has significant moisturizing and anti-wrinkle effects, is safe and non-irritating, and can be added with cosmetically acceptable excipients to make various cosmetics including facial creams, essences, lotions, toners, cleansers, and shampoos.

[0020] (3) The process of the present invention is simple, the process is green and environmentally friendly, and there is no pollution to the environment. In addition, the product extracted by this process has a high extraction rate, is easy to operate, and is easy to industrialize. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0107] Chorioallantoic membrane test of chicken embryos: The sample is a 5% aqueous solution of the soluble protein and polysaccharide complex prepared in Examples 1-5; the negative control is physiological saline; the positive control is 0.1 mol / L NaOH solution.

[0108] Test operation steps: In this test, 6 chicken embryos are selected for each group, and the situation of the chorioallantoic membrane is recorded with a photographing device. Place it in a polytetrafluoroethylene resin ring, record the time of adding the sample and cover the air chamber with a moistened plastic wrap, move the chicken embryos to a constant temperature and humidity incubator for culture, and observe the degree of change in each toxic effect.

[0123] Performance test.

[0124] Take the soluble protein and polysaccharide complexes obtained in Examples 1 - 5 and Comparative Examples 1 - 9 as test objects for testing:

[0125] 1) Inhibition rate of elastase.

[0126] Skin relaxation and wrinkling are mainly related to elastic fibers, and elastic fibers will be decomposed by elastase, resulting in the loss of collagen and thus causing skin relaxation and wrinkling. Therefore, by measuring the inhibition rate of the firming and anti-wrinkle plant composition on elastase, the purpose of detecting the firming and anti-wrinkle effect can be achieved.

[0127] The specific operation is to mix 100 μL of 0.2 mol / L tris-HCl buffer solution, 25 μL of 10 mmol / L N-methoxysuccinyl-alanine-proline-valine-4-nitroaniline, and 30 mg of soluble protein and polysaccharide complex, let it stand for 10 min at 25 °C, add 25 μL of 0.3 U / mL elastase and continue to let it stand for 10 min. Finally, measure the OD value under the condition of 410 nm, and use 0.3 mL of deionized water to replace the soluble protein and polysaccharide complex as a blank control.

[0128] The inhibition rate of soluble protein and polysaccharide complex on elastase (%) = (OD value of the control group - OD value of the experimental group) / OD value of the control group × 100%.

[0129] 2) Antioxidant performance test.

[0130] The specific operation is to take 30 mg of soluble protein and polysaccharide complex and place it in a test tube, add 5 mL of DPPH free radical solution (0.1 mmol / L) dissolved in 95% ethanol, shake for 10 s, then place it at room temperature for reaction for 20 min. After the reaction is completed, measure the OD value of the reaction mixture under the condition of 517 nm, and use 0.3 mL of deionized water to replace the soluble protein and polysaccharide complex as a blank control.

[0131] The scavenging rate of soluble protein and polysaccharide complex on DPPH free radicals (%) = (OD value of the control group - OD value of the experimental group) / OD value of the control group × 100%.

[0132] The test results of the inhibition rate of elastase and antioxidant performance are recorded in Table 4 below.

[0133] Table 4 Test results of the inhibition rate of elastase and antioxidant performance.

[0134]

[0135]

[0136] It can be concluded from the data in Table 4 that the soluble protein and polysaccharide complex prepared in Examples 1-5 has significantly higher inhibition rate on elastase and scavenging rate on DPPH free radicals compared with the fermentation products prepared in Comparative Examples 1-9.

[0137] Application examples.

[0138] Use the fermentation products prepared in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-9 to prepare skin care essence and blank control skin care essence respectively. The blank group is the skin care essence base formula without fermentation products. The basic formula of the skin care essence is shown in Table 5.

[0139] Table 5 Skin care essence formula

[0140]

[0141] According to the above formula, add water, glycerol, 1,3-butanediol, acryloyldimethyltauramide / VP copolymer into the emulsifying pot, heat to 85°C, stir evenly, then cool down to 45°C, and successively add ethylhexylglycerin, hydroxyacetophenone, fermentation product - soluble protein and polysaccharide complex, stir at 30 rpm / min for 10 min to obtain the skin care essence.

[0142] Recruit 90 subjects, and finally 90 valid data are obtained. The subjects are healthy Chinese men and women with sensitive skin, dry or combination dry skin, and wrinkle grade above level 2. In the examples and comparative examples, each group has 9 people. The volunteers use the skin care essence and blank essence twice a day. The usage amount is to take a soybean-sized amount of essence after each facial cleansing and evenly apply it on the face. After 4 hours and 4 weeks, measure the water content in the epidermal stratum corneum (the water content in the stratum corneum is measured 5 times and the average value is taken). The VISIA-CR facial skin image analyzer is used to test the improvement of wrinkles. Each volunteer has the initial wrinkle area measured before using the essence. After 4 weeks of use, it is compared with the initial value before use to analyze the wrinkle reduction rate and measure the change rate after 28 days. The test results are shown in Table 6 below.

[0143] Table 6 Changes in water content of the stratum corneum and wrinkles of the skin using the essence formula

[0144]

[0145] It can be seen from the test results that the essence milks prepared in Examples 1-5 all have good moisturizing and anti-wrinkle effects; while the moisturizing and anti-wrinkle effects of Comparative Examples 1-9 and the blank example are significantly weaker.

[0146] In summary, through the test examples and application examples, the fermentation products of Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-9 are tested and compared, indicating that using the cordyceps militaris strain and wheat germ of the present invention for fermentation has significant advantages, and the obtained fermentation products have significant moisturizing, anti-wrinkle and firming effects.

Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the examples, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention can be modified or equivalently replaced without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and they should all be covered by the scope of the claims of the present invention.
