Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Although the representative embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail, those of ordinary skill in the technical field to which the present invention belongs will understand that various modifications and changes can be made to the present invention without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should not be limited to the embodiments, but should be defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.

[0022] The present invention provides a method for preparing a fermented feed containing 3-hydroxybutyric acid, comprising the following steps:

[0023] (1) Destroy the structure of lignocellulose in the straw to obtain a pretreated raw material; the straw can be selected from rice straw, corn straw, and wheat straw according to actual conditions.

[0024] Specifically, the straw raw material is pulverized, and baking soda, glycerol, Tween 20, and fermented soybean meal are added thereto and mixed, and the moisture is controlled at 25-40%, and it is placed at 25-30 °C for 1-4 days to destroy the structure of lignocellulose to obtain a pretreated raw material for subsequent fermentation. The fermented soybean meal can crosslink with lignin to reduce the inhibitory effect of lignin on enzymes in subsequent processes.

[0025] Based on the mass of the straw, the addition amount of baking soda is 1-3%, the addition amount of glycerol is 0.5-1%, the addition amount of Tween 20 is 0.1-0.5%, and the addition amount of fermented soybean meal is 1-5%.

[0026] (2) Treat the pretreated raw material by a chemical method combined with an enzymatic method;

[0027] Specifically, based on the mass of the pretreated raw material, 0.5-1% sulfuric acid, 100-500 U / g phytase, 200-1000 U / g cellulase, and 100-500 U / g xylanase are added to the pretreated raw material, the moisture is controlled at 40-50%, and enzymatic hydrolysis is carried out at 30-50 °C for 24-48 hours to make the enzyme preparation fully react and maintain the pH between 3 and 6.

[0028] In order to promote the fermentation of straw by Kluyveromyces marxianus to produce 3-hydroxybutyric acid in the subsequent fermentation process, 0.5-1% sulfuric acid, 0.01-0.05% calcium pantothenate, 0.01-0.05% nicotinic acid, 0.5-1% ammonium sulfate, 100-500 U / g phytase, 200-1000 U / g cellulase, and 100-500 U / g xylanase are sequentially added to the pretreated raw material.

[0030] For the convenience of storing the fermented feed and increasing the storage period, the final sample is dried at 50-60 °C.

[0031] The effects of the fermented feed containing 3-hydroxybutyric acid and its preparation method of the present invention are studied through specific examples below.

[0032] Example 1:

[0033] This example provides a fermented feed containing 3-hydroxybutyric acid, which is prepared by the following steps:

[0034] (1) Pretreatment of raw materials

[0035] After the rice straw raw material is pulverized, baking soda, glycerol, Tween 20 and fermented soybean meal are added thereto and mixed, and the moisture is controlled at 25%, and it is placed at 25 °C for 2 days to destroy the structure of lignocellulose to obtain a pretreated raw material for subsequent fermentation. Fermented soybean meal can produce a cross-linking effect with lignin, reducing the inhibitory effect of lignin on enzymes in subsequent processes.

[0036] Based on the mass of the straw, the addition amount of baking soda is 1%, the addition amount of glycerol is 0.5%, the addition amount of Tween 20 is 0.1%, and the addition amount of fermented soybean meal is 1%.

[0037] (2) Chemical method combined with enzymatic method treatment

[0041] Example 2:

[0042] This example provides a fermented feed containing 3-hydroxybutyric acid, which is prepared by the following steps:

[0043] (1) Pretreatment of raw materials

[0044] After the rice straw raw material is pulverized, baking soda, glycerol, Tween 20 and fermented soybean meal are added thereto and mixed, and the moisture is controlled at 40%, and it is placed at 30 °C for 2 days to destroy the structure of lignocellulose to obtain a pretreated raw material for subsequent fermentation. Fermented soybean meal can produce a cross-linking effect with lignin, reducing the inhibitory effect of lignin on enzymes in subsequent processes.

[0045] Based on the straw quality, the addition amount of sodium bicarbonate is 1%, the addition amount of glycerol is 0.5%, the addition amount of Tween 20 is 0.1%, and the addition amount of fermented soybean meal is 1%.

[0046] (2) Chemical method combined with enzymatic method treatment

[0048] (3) Fermentation

[0049] Add the bacterial powder of Kluyveromyces marxianus (CGMCC 10621) at 20 billion cfu / g to the enzymatically hydrolyzed raw material and mix it with the raw material to keep the viable bacteria count in the raw material at 10 7 cfu / g, control the moisture content to be 60%, ferment at 30 °C for 10 days, and finally dry the sample at 60 °C. The content of 3-hydroxybutyric acid in it is detected by high performance liquid chromatography to be 2.05%.

[0050] Example 3:

[0051] This example provides a fermented feed containing 3-hydroxybutyric acid, which is prepared by the following steps:

[0052] (1) Raw material pretreatment

[0053] After the rice straw raw material is pulverized, sodium bicarbonate, glycerol, Tween 20 and fermented soybean meal are added to it and mixed. Control the moisture content to be 40%, and place it at 30 °C for 2 days to break the structure of lignocellulose to obtain the pretreated raw material for subsequent fermentation. Fermented soybean meal can produce a cross-linking effect with lignin to reduce the inhibitory effect of lignin on enzymes in subsequent processes.

[0054] Based on the straw quality, the addition amount of sodium bicarbonate is 1%, the addition amount of glycerol is 0.5%, the addition amount of Tween 20 is 0.1%, and the addition amount of fermented soybean meal is 1%.

[0055] (2) Chemical method combined with enzymatic method treatment

[0056] Based on the mass of the pretreated raw material, 0.5% sulfuric acid, 100 U / g phytase, 200 U / g cellulase, and 100 U / g xylanase are sequentially added to the pretreated raw material. Control the moisture content to be 50%, and carry out enzymatic hydrolysis at 50 °C for 24 hours to make the enzyme preparation fully react and maintain the pH at 5.

[0057] (3) Fermentation

[0058] Add the Kluyveromyces marxianus (CGMCC 10621) bacterial powder with 20 billion cfu / g to the enzymatically hydrolyzed raw material and mix it with the raw material to keep the viable bacteria count in the raw material at 10 7 cfu / g, control the moisture content to 60%, ferment at 30°C for 10 days, finally dry the sample at 60°C, and detect the 3-hydroxybutyric acid content in it by high performance liquid chromatography, which is 0.08%. Since no nutritional elements such as calcium pantothenate, nicotinic acid, and ammonium sulfate are added during the fermentation process, the production effect of 3-hydroxybutyric acid has decreased.

[0059] Example 4:

[0060] This example provides a fermented feed containing 3-hydroxybutyric acid, which is prepared by the following steps:

[0061] (1) Raw material pretreatment

[0062] After the rice straw raw material is pulverized, add baking soda, glycerol, and Tween 20 to it and mix, control the moisture content at 40%, and place it at 30°C for 2 days.

[0063] Based on the mass of the straw, the addition amount of baking soda is 1%, the addition amount of glycerol is 0.5%, and the addition amount of Tween 20 is 0.1%.

[0064] (2) Chemical method combined with enzymatic method treatment

[0065] Based on the mass of the pretreated raw material, add 0.5% sulfuric acid, 0.01% calcium pantothenate, 0.01% nicotinic acid, 0.5% ammonium sulfate, 100 U / g phytase, 200 U / g cellulase, and 100 U / g xylanase to the pretreated raw material in sequence. Control the moisture content at 50%, enzymatically hydrolyze at 50°C for 24 hours to make the enzyme preparation fully react and maintain the pH at 5.

[0066] (3) Fermentation

[0067] Add the Kluyveromyces marxianus (CGMCC 10621) bacterial powder with 20 billion cfu / g to the enzymatically hydrolyzed raw material and mix it with the raw material to keep the viable bacteria count in the raw material at 10 7 cfu / g, control the moisture content to 60%, ferment at 30°C for 10 days, finally dry the sample at 60°C, and detect the 3-hydroxybutyric acid content in it by high performance liquid chromatography, which is 0.1%. The cross-linking of lignin in unfermented soybean meal and straw will affect the enzyme activity and prevent the fibers in the straw from being degraded into fermentable sugars, thus affecting the efficiency of fermenting to produce 3-hydroxybutyric acid.

[0068] Example 5:

[0069] This example provides a fermented feed containing 3-hydroxybutyric acid, which is prepared by the following steps:

[0070] (1) Raw material pretreatment

[0072] Based on the mass of the straw, the addition amount of baking soda is 1%, the addition amount of glycerol is 0.5%, the addition amount of Tween 20 is 0.1%, and the addition amount of fermented soybean meal is 1%.

[0073] (2) Chemical method combined with enzymatic method treatment

The moisture is controlled at 40%, and enzymatic hydrolysis is carried out at 30°C for 24 hours to make the enzyme preparation react fully and maintain the pH at 4.

[0075] (3) Fermentation

The content of 3-hydroxybutyric acid in it is detected by high performance liquid chromatography to be 0.08%.

[0077] Comparative Example 1:

[0078] This comparative example provides a fermented feed, which is prepared by the following steps:
