Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of composition preparation, and in particular to a preparation method of a coffee composition and its application in weight loss. Background Art

[0002] Coffee beans are the kernels inside the fruit of the coffee tree. They contain a variety of bioactive ingredients, such as alkaloids, phenolic acids, flavonoids, etc., which have antioxidant, lipid-lowering, blood sugar-lowering, and neuroprotective effects. Coffee drinks obtained by roasting, grinding, hot water extraction, and filtering coffee beans are simple to make and are popular in the market. However, this extraction process makes it difficult to fully utilize the efficacy of coffee beans and easily leads to waste of resources. Patent CN105899222A discloses a method for producing green coffee bean extract, which is to treat the green coffee bean raw material with supercritical carbon dioxide and then extract it with an organic solvent to obtain the green coffee bean extract. The green coffee bean extract contains 28%-37% 5-caffeoylquinic acid and 45%-60% total chlorogenic acid. It has pharmacological activities such as antioxidant, antiviral, anticancer, antibacterial, and fat-reducing activities. However, the extraction process requires the use of supercritical carbon dioxide extraction, which requires high equipment and is not conducive to controlling production costs. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention aims to provide a method for preparing a coffee composition and its application for weight loss. The invention uses an aqueous solution diluted with a L-carnitine-resveratrol eutectic solvent as an extractant to extract coffee beans. This method not only simplifies the process and requires minimal equipment, but also provides an oral preparation prepared using the extract, coffee condensate and coffee oil, as raw materials, which exhibits excellent weight loss and lipid-lowering effects.

[0004] The present invention provides a method for preparing a coffee composition, comprising the following steps:

[0005] S1: adding L-carnitine and resveratrol in a molar ratio of 1:(0.25-6) to a solvent consisting of at least one of ultrapure water, methanol, ethanol, and acetonitrile to dissolve, and then subjecting the mixture to microwave treatment to obtain a first mixed solution; subjecting the first mixed solution to vacuum evaporation treatment until no distillate is evaporated to obtain a second mixed solution; and drying the second mixed solution to a constant weight to obtain a L-carnitine-resveratrol low eutectic solvent; wherein the L-carnitine-resveratrol low eutectic solvent is composed of L-carnitine molecules and resveratrol molecules, the carbonyl group in the L-carnitine molecule and the hydroxyl group in the resveratrol molecule have hydrogen bond interactions, and the distance between the carbonyl group in the L-carnitine molecule and the hydroxyl group in the resveratrol molecule is The L-carnitine-resveratrol deep eutectic solvent is diluted with water to obtain an extractant, wherein the concentration of the extractant is 2wt%-50wt%;

[0055] Example 1

[0056] S1: In a nitrogen protective gas atmosphere, L-carnitine and resveratrol were added to ultrapure water at a molar ratio of 1:1 and dissolved, stirred at room temperature for 6 hours, and then reacted under microwave conditions at a temperature of 50°C, a frequency of 2.4 GHz, and a power of 600 W for 4 hours to obtain a first mixed solution of L-carnitine and resveratrol; under vacuum conditions of a temperature of 60°C and a pressure of -0.07 MPa, the first mixed solution was vacuum evaporated until no distillate was evaporated to obtain a second mixed solution; the second mixed solution was placed in a vacuum constant temperature drying oven at 50°C and dried at a constant temperature until the weight was constant to obtain a L-carnitine-resveratrol low eutectic solvent, and the L-carnitine-resveratrol low eutectic solvent was diluted with ultrapure water to obtain an extractant with a concentration of 10 wt%;

[0057] S2: The coffee beans are crushed through an 80-mesh sieve and dried in a constant temperature drying oven at 40°C for 24 hours to obtain coffee bean powder. The coffee bean powder is mixed with the extractant in step S1 at a solid-liquid ratio of 100g:1L and then subjected to steam distillation extraction for 6 hours. After the distillation, the solid-liquid mixture in the distillation flask and the first oily mixture in the condenser are centrifuged at a centrifugal speed of 10,000 r / min for 15 minutes. The supernatant of the solid-liquid mixture is filtered through a 0.45um organic phase filter membrane to separate the lower layer as coffee condensate L-1 and the upper layer as the second oily mixture. The upper oily liquid of the first oily mixture in the condenser is filtered through a 0.45um organic phase filter membrane to remove impurities and mixed with the second oily mixture to obtain coffee oil L-1, thereby completing the extraction of the coffee beans.

[0058] S3: Take 30 parts of coffee condensate L-1 and 10 parts of coffee oil L-1 obtained in step S2, and mix them evenly with 6 parts of white kidney bean extract, 6 parts of green tea extract, 3 parts of vitamin B1, and 3 parts of vitamin B2 by weight to obtain coffee composition L-1; then add 0.5 parts of Tween 20, 0.5 parts of polyglycerol, 3 parts of guar gum, 2 parts of pectin, 1 part of potassium sorbate and 27 parts of water, and mix and stir them in a water bath at a temperature of 50°C for 20 minutes to obtain an aqueous phase; 3 parts of egg yolk lecithin and 3 parts of phosphatidylserine are mixed evenly to obtain an oil phase; the oil phase is added to the aqueous phase and homogenized by stirring at a stirring rate of 10,000 rpm for 15 minutes to obtain a weight loss microemulsion L-1.

[0059] For example, Figure 1 These are the quantum chemical characterization diagrams of the L-carnitine-resveratrol deep eutectic solvent, where (a) is the structure optimization diagram, (b) is the ESP potential analysis diagram, and (c) is the IRI analysis diagram.

[0060] like Figure 1As shown in (a), the geometry optimization and frequency calculation of the L-carnitine-resveratrol eutectic solvent converged, and no imaginary frequency was found, indicating that the current structure is at the local minimum point of the potential energy surface and can exist stably. The hydroxyl group of resveratrol and the carbonyl group of L-carnitine have hydrogen bond interactions, and the distance between the hydroxyl group and the carbonyl group is Much shorter than the van der Waals radius.

[0061] As shown in Figure (1) (b), the formation mechanism of the L-carnitine-resveratrol deep eutectic solvent was qualitatively analyzed by ESP. The depth of color represents different electric potentials. For L-carnitine, the carbonyl region is electronegative, while a large area surrounding the nitrogen atom is electropositive. For resveratrol, the hydroxyl region is electropositive. After the formation of the deep eutectic solvent, the electronegative region of L-carnitine and the electropositive region of resveratrol attract each other, forming a stable deep eutectic solvent.

[0062] The interaction region indicator function (IRI) is used to characterize the van der Waals force, hydrogen bond, and steric repulsion of molecules, such as Figure 1 As shown in (c), different color blocks represent different intermolecular forces. The small discs within the ring structure represent steric hindrance. The stronger the steric hindrance, the less likely the atoms in the corresponding regions are to attract each other. The small discs outside the ring structure represent interactions that combine attraction and steric hindrance, or strong attraction, such as hydrogen bonds. The large, blocky transitional regions represent weak van der Waals interactions. The presence of large, blocky interaction regions between L-carnitine and resveratrol indicates the presence of van der Waals forces. Furthermore, the small discs between the hydroxyl and carbonyl groups strongly suggest the presence of strong hydrogen bonds between these two sites, based on existing research.

Based on the volume V of the extractant and the mass M of the coffee bean powder, the total polyphenol yield Y1 was calculated as (C1 - C2) * V / M × 100%.

[0109] (2) Caffeic acid yield test method

[0110] A Phenomenex Luna C18 column (4.6 mm × 250 mm, 5 μm) was selected, with a column temperature of 30°C, a flow rate of 1 mL / min, a detection wavelength of 285 nm, an injection volume of 10 μL, and mobile phases A and B: 0.5% formic acid in water. Gradient elution was performed using the elution program shown in Table 1. Accurately weigh 1.0 mg of caffeic acid standard into a 50 mL volumetric flask and dilute to volume with ultrapure water to prepare a caffeic acid standard stock solution (20 μg / mL). This caffeic acid standard stock solution was diluted with 50% methanol to obtain caffeic acid standard solutions with concentrations of 10.0, 5.0, 2.0, 1.0, and 0.2 μg / mL, respectively. The caffeic acid concentration of coffee condensate diluted 100-fold was measured, with the standard concentration plotted on the horizontal axis (X) and the peak area plotted on the vertical axis (Y). After obtaining the caffeic acid concentration in the diluted coffee condensate, the actual caffeic acid concentration C3 in the coffee condensate after extraction was calculated based on the dilution factor of 100.

[0119] The results showed that with the increase of the extractant concentration of the L-carnitine-resveratrol deep eutectic solvent water dilution solution, the contents of total polyphenols, caffeic acid and coffee oil in the coffee bean extract first gradually increased and then stabilized or even decreased slightly. This is because as the extractant concentration increases, the degree of cell wall damage of the coffee beans increases, and more L-carnitine-resveratrol deep eutectic solvent interacts with the coffee beans. However, when the extractant concentration is too high, the system viscosity is large, which affects the mass transfer efficiency and makes it difficult to improve the extraction efficiency.

[0120] The test results of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 show that the L-carnitine and resveratrol mixture also promotes coffee bean extraction, but the extraction efficiency of coffee beans is significantly enhanced after forming a deep eutectic solvent. This may be attributed to the fact that the intermolecular forces between L-carnitine and resveratrol, such as hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces, are much stronger after forming a deep eutectic solvent than those in a physical blend. Therefore, it can more effectively destroy the cell walls of coffee beans, thereby effectively improving the extraction efficiency of coffee beans. This has positive significance for the in-depth development and utilization of plant resources.

[0121] From the test results of Example 1, Comparative Example 2, and Comparative Example 3, it can be found that by adding a 10wt% NaCl solution as an extractant on the basis of traditional steam distillation, the solubility of the active ingredients in the coffee beans in water can be increased, thereby improving the extraction efficiency, but it is still difficult to achieve the extraction effect of a deep eutectic solvent; and the enzymatic extraction process in Comparative Example 4 also achieves the purpose of improving the extraction efficiency by destroying the cellulose structure in the plant cell wall, causing more active ingredients to flow out. Comparing Example 1 with Comparative Examples 2-4, it can be seen that the selection of a water dilution of the L-carnitine-resveratrol deep eutectic solvent as the extractant for coffee beans has an extraction efficiency much higher than that of using water, 10wt% NaCl as an extractant, and enzymatic extraction, which can solve the pain point problem of poor extraction efficiency of the traditional extraction process.

[0122] It can be seen from Example 1 and Comparative Examples 5-8 that changing the composition of the deep eutectic solvent will affect the extraction efficiency. After replacing resveratrol with propylene glycol, 1,3-butylene glycol, panthenol or glycolic acid, although the extraction effect on coffee beans is better than water extraction, the extraction effect is best when the L-carnitine-resveratrol deep eutectic solvent diluent is used as the extraction agent.

[0123] By comparing the proportion of caffeic acid in total polyphenols in Examples 1-9 and Comparative Examples 1-4, it can be found that the proportion of caffeic acid in Examples 1-9 is relatively high, indicating that the L-carnitine-resveratrol deep eutectic solvent can selectively extract caffeic acid when extracting polyphenol compounds and has specific recognition ability for caffeic acid.

[0124] This paper investigates the possible mechanism of high extraction efficiency of polyphenolic compounds including caffeic acid in the L-carnitine-resveratrol deep eutectic solvent system through quantum chemical calculations. Using caffeic acid as a calculation model, the form and strength of the interaction between the L-carnitine-resveratrol deep eutectic solvent and caffeic acid were analyzed. The quantum chemical characterization results of the interaction between the L-carnitine-resveratrol deep eutectic solvent and caffeic acid are shown in Figure 2. Figure 2 As shown, (a) is the structure optimization diagram, (b) is the ESP potential analysis diagram, and (c) is the IRI analysis diagram.

[0125] The optimized structures of L-carnitine resveratrol deep eutectic solvent and caffeic acid are as follows Figure 2 As shown in (a), both the geometry optimization and frequency calculation converged, and no imaginary frequency was found, indicating that the current structure is at the local minimum of the potential energy surface and can exist stably. The distance between the carbonyl group of L-carnitine and the hydroxyl group of caffeic acid is much shorter than the van der Waals radius, which indicates that there is a hydrogen bond interaction between the L-carnitine resveratrol deep eutectic solvent and caffeic acid. Figure 2As shown in (b), the carbonyl regions of L-carnitine and caffeic acid are electronegative, while the hydroxyl groups are electronegative. When forming a stable structure, the electronegative regions of the L-carnitine-resveratrol deep eutectic solvent and the electronegative regions of caffeic acid attract each other, and the overall electrostatic potential is close to 0, thus forming a stable structure. The interaction region indicator function analysis of the L-carnitine-resveratrol deep eutectic solvent and caffeic acid is shown in Figure 2. Figure 2 As shown in (c), large, blocky regions of interaction exist between the L-carnitine-resveratrol deep eutectic solvent and caffeic acid, indicating the presence of van der Waals forces. Furthermore, small discs exist between the carbonyl groups in the L-carnitine-resveratrol deep eutectic solvent and the hydroxyl groups of caffeic acid. Existing research strongly suggests strong hydrogen bonding between these two sites, contributing to the formation and stability of the overall system. ESP, structural optimization, and IRI explain the higher yields of caffeic acid and total polyphenols in the L-carnitine-resveratrol deep eutectic solvent system.

[0127] 1. DPPH free radical scavenging test

[0128] The weight loss microemulsions prepared in Example 1, Example 10, Example 11, Comparative Example 1, and Comparative Example 4 were subjected to DPPH free radical scavenging tests according to the following method:

[0129] Set up a sample tube (T), sample background (T0), DPPH tube (C) and solvent background (C0). For each sample tube (T) of the slimming microemulsion, three parallel tubes need to be set up, and different concentrations of slimming microemulsion solutions (0.0625 mg / mL, 0.125 mg / mL, 0.25 mg / mL, 0.5 mg / mL, 1 mg / mL) are respectively prepared. The dilution solvent of the slimming microemulsion is water.

[0130] For example, taking a 1 mg / mL slimming microemulsion solution as an example, the following sample tube (T), sample background (T0), DPPH tube (C) and solvent background (C0) are set:

[0131] Sample tube (T): 1 mL of slimming microemulsion solution (concentration of 1 mg / mL) + 2 mL of water + 1 mL of DPPH ethanol solution (concentration of 0.04 mg / mL);

[0132] Sample background tube (T0): 1 mL of slimming microemulsion solution (concentration 1 mg / mL) + 2 mL of water + 1 mL of 95 vol% ethanol solution;

[0134] Solvent background tube (C0): 3 mL water + 1 mL 95% vol ethanol solution;

[0135] The solutions in the above reaction tubes were transferred into cuvettes, and the absorbance was measured at 517 nm. The DPPH radical scavenging rates of the different weight loss microemulsions were calculated using the following formula (I). The specific results are shown in Table 3.

[0142] Set up the sample tube (A 样品 ), loss pipe (A 损 ), undamaged (A 未损 ), three parallel tubes are required for each sample tube (T) of the slimming microemulsion, each of which is equipped with slimming microemulsion solutions of different concentrations (0.0625 mg / mL, 0.125 mg / mL, 0.25 mg / mL, 0.5 mg / mL, 1 mg / mL), and the solvent for diluting the slimming microemulsion solution is water.

[0143] A 样品 : 1 mL of o-phenanthroline ethanol solution (concentration of 5 mmol / L) + 2 mL of phosphate buffer (concentration of 0.2 mol / L) + 1 mL of weight loss microemulsion solution + 1 mL of ferrous sulfate solution (5 mmol / L) + 1 mL of H2O2 solution (concentration of 0.1% v / v);

[0144] A 损 : 1 mL of o-phenanthroline ethanol solution (concentration of 5 mmol / L) + 2 mL of phosphate buffer (concentration of 0.2 mol / L) + 1 mL of ultrapure water + 1 mL of ferrous sulfate solution (5 mmol / L) + 1 mL of H2O2 solution (concentration of 0.1% v / v);

[0145] A 未损 : 1 mL of o-phenanthroline ethanol solution (concentration of 5 mmol / L) + 2 mL of phosphate buffer (concentration of 0.2 mol / L) + 1 mL of ferrous sulfate solution (5 mmol / L) + 2 mL of ultrapure water.

[0146] The solutions in the above reaction tubes were transferred into cuvettes, and the absorbance was measured at 536 nm. The hydroxyl radical scavenging rates of the different weight loss microemulsions were calculated using the following formula II. The specific results are shown in Table 4.

[0147] Formula II:

[0169] (2) Experimental animal grouping

[0170] The animals were acclimated for one week and randomly divided into two groups. One group, consisting of eight SD rats, served as the control group and were fed a basal diet. The remaining 42 rats were used to establish an obese rat model, which took approximately one month to establish. This group of rats was fed a high-fat diet. During this process, obesity-sensitive and obesity-resistant rats were screened and removed, resulting in 32 rats with an average weight greater than 20% higher than the control group. These rats were designated as obese rats for subsequent experiments. The experimental group consisted of a normal control (NC) group, a high-fat diet (HFD) group, and groups receiving slimming microemulsions L-1, D-1, and D-4. The NC group continued to be fed a basal diet with ad libitum access. The other groups were fed a high-fat diet, and the slimming microemulsions were administered via oral gavage.

The results showed that the NC group had lower TG levels than all other groups. Compared with the HFD group, the TG levels of rats in the slimming microemulsion L-1, slimming microemulsion D-1, and slimming microemulsion D-4 groups were significantly lower, indicating that the slimming microemulsion can reduce serum TG levels. The total cholesterol levels of rats in the HFD group were significantly higher than those in all other groups. The total cholesterol levels of rats in the slimming microemulsion L-1, D-1, and D-4 groups were similar to those in the NC group, indicating that the slimming microemulsion can restore total cholesterol levels in obese rats to normal levels, with the slimming microemulsion L-1 group showing the greatest recovery effect.
