Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of lime fruit vinegar preparation, and particularly relates to a method for optimizing a lime fruit vinegar preparation process by using a double-enzyme response surface method. BACKGROUND

[0002] Lime (Citrus aurantium L; CAL) is a plant of the Rutaceae family and the Citrus genus. The mature fruit is bitter and has poor taste. The mature lime fruit after the harvest period is rich in functional components such as dietary fiber (DF) and flavonoids, and has potential application value. The peel accounts for 30%-50% of the whole fruit, and unreasonable use of the CAL peel will cause great waste of resources, so it is necessary to improve the added value of the CAL peel.

[0003] Liquid fermentation has the advantages of short fermentation period, high yield and easy control, but still has some shortcomings, and the most obvious disadvantage is that the single strain has a strong sour taste. To ensure that the growth state of the yeast is not changed, the use of mixed strains for fermentation as much as possible can provide rich flavor substances for the fermentation stage. The lime and by-products such as peel are fermented into fruit vinegar, which has outstanding significance in resource utilization and value enhancement. The low-value raw materials such as small fruits and peels can be effectively converted, and the waste can be greatly reduced, which is in line with the concept of sustainable development. The lime fruit vinegar obtained by fermentation not only has unique flavor and rich layers, but also far exceeds ordinary vinegar, and further integrates the health benefits of vinegar acid, such as digestion and metabolism regulation. The nutritional value is doubled, and has stronger antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and potential health promotion functions. This deep processing method creates high-value characteristic products, expands market applications, improves the overall efficiency of the industry, and can realize resource recycling and value innovation.

[0004] During the fermentation of fruit vinegar, yeast and acetic acid bacteria are usually used for combined fermentation. The yeast primarily completes the efficient conversion of sugar to ethanol to provide the necessary substrate for acetic acid bacteria, and generates ester and other flavor precursor substances to lay the foundation for the aroma of fruit vinegar. The acetic acid bacteria are responsible for oxidizing ethanol to acetic acid and enriching functional components to achieve flavor setting and health efficacy enhancement. Due to the naturally high-acid environment of lime juice, screening and enhancing acid-tolerant yeast is the key to this process. It can resist acid stress and maintain high ethanol yield, ensuring seamless connection between the two-stage fermentation and avoiding metabolic interruption or flavor deterioration, which is a decisive factor for improving product quality and process stability. SUMMARY

[0005] The application discloses a method for optimizing a lime fruit vinegar preparation process by using a double-enzyme response surface method, to solve the above and any potential problems in the prior art. To solve the above technical problems, the application provides the following process:

[0006] Raw material pretreatment: select the diameter of less than 6 cm of lime, and lime peel, clean after mixing, according to the quality ratio of pulp: peel 4:6, add water according to the ratio of material to liquid 1:6, use the pulper to break it into pulp;

[0007] Enzymolysis, sugar adjustment: add 0.3% pectinase and 0.2% cellulase to the above slurry, and carry out enzymolysis at 55°C for 1h, add citric acid or sodium bicarbonate to adjust the initial pH value to 4.0, and place in water bath at 70°C for 30min for pasteurization, and cool to room temperature;

[0008] Fermentation: through the setting of response surface optimization test, the strengthened yeast and acetic acid bacteria liquid are fermented according to the optimal fermentation process conditions obtained by response surface optimization;

[0009] Filtration and clarification: after fermentation is completed, the fruit residue is separated out with filter cloth, then 0.5% chitosan is added for treatment for 1h, and then filtration is carried out with filter cloth; after the filtrate is sterilized in water bath at 70°C for 30min, it is cooled to room temperature; centrifugation is carried out at room temperature at 4000r / min for 20min, the supernatant is collected, boiled for 10min, and hotly filled, to obtain lime fruit vinegar.

[0010] The fermentation is: adding sucrose to adjust the sugar degree to 16-20% in the adjusted lime fruit slurry, adding 8-12% of bacteria liquid, wherein the inoculation ratio of the strengthened yeast and acetic acid bacteria liquid is 1:1-3, and the fermentation is carried out at 28-32°C for 4-6d.

[0011] The culture of the strengthened yeast includes:

[0012] Prepare 1078.11-1091.61 portions of basic medium, adjust the initial pH to 5.0-5.5 with hydrochloric acid or sodium hydroxide, sterilize at 90°C for 15min, cool to 30°C, inoculate 20-30 portions of yeast dry powder under sterile conditions, the temperature is 30°C±1°C, the shaking speed is 150-200rpm, culture for 2h, collect the bacteria by sterile centrifugation at 4000rpm for 10min at 4°C; wash the bacteria once with sterile 0.85% NaCl solution to remove residual basic medium components;

[0013] Resuspend the washed wet bacteria in the transformation medium, the resuspended cell density OD600 is 5-20 concentrated suspension, the electric field pulse treatment field strength is 8kV / cm, the pulse length is 1μs, the pulse number is 2-5 times / min, the pulse interval is 2min, the temperature is 28-31°C, the time is 1h, after the transformation culture is completed, immediately perform sterile centrifugation at 4000rpm for 10min, discard the supernatant;

[0014] The wet bacteria collected after 1-2 times of gentle washing of the bacteria with sterile 0.85% mass fraction NaCl solution are the fortified yeast bacteria.

[0015] The components of the basic culture medium are: 1000 parts of water, 50-60 parts of glucose, 10 parts of yeast extract powder, 10 parts of peptone, 5-6 parts of NH4Cl, 2-4 parts of KH2PO4, 0.5 parts of MgSO4·7H2O, 0.1-0.3 parts of CaCl2·2H2O, 0.01 parts of MnSO4·H2O, 0.5-0.8 parts of Tween 80.

[0016] The conversion culture medium formula is: 1000 parts of water, 20-30 parts of glucose, 0.2 parts of MgSO4·7H2O, 5-10 parts of inducer, and the pH is controlled to be 5.5±0.1 by using 2.56% mass fraction sodium citrate buffer.

[0017] The inducer is L-arginine-alpha-ketoglutarate.

[0018] The advantages and beneficial effects of the present application are:

[0019] 1. The response surface method for preparing lime fruit vinegar provided by the present application significantly improves the quality, production efficiency and resource utilization rate of fruit vinegar by precisely controlling fermentation through raw material treatment, core strain strengthening and response surface optimization, and realizes the dual optimization of product value and process efficiency.

[0020] 2. The process reduces the waste of processing byproducts, more fully integrates the sugar of the pulp and the unique aromatic oils, flavonoids and other active ingredients of the peel, and the pectinase and cellulase double enzyme synergistic fermentation reduces the viscosity by degrading pectin through pectinase, improves the juice yield by hydrolyzing fiber bundles through cellulase, deeply releases terpene aroma substances and phenolic active ingredients, and at the same time completely removes pectin and fiber impurities, improves the light transmittance, and lays a solid foundation for the final fruit vinegar with rich complex flavor and potential health value.

[0021] 3. The culture method of the fortified yeast bacteria significantly enhances the tolerance of the yeast cells by using specific basic culture combined with electric field pulse treatment technology and selecting L-arginine-alpha-ketoglutarate as a key inducer, so that the yeast cells can effectively resist the subsequent high-sugar and high-acid fermentation environment pressure. Compared with ordinary additives that only adjust the pH value, the inducer can more naturally activate the stress response mechanism of the yeast by acting as a specific precursor or signal molecule, improve the survival vitality and fermentation performance of the yeast, and avoid the risk of chemical residues.

[0022] 4. Using L-arginine-α-ketoglutarate as an inducer has significant advantages. It is not only an acidic substance, but also a combination of amino acids with physiological activity. During the intensification process, it can be effectively absorbed and utilized by yeast, not only significantly enhancing the tolerance of the bacterial body to high acidity and high osmotic pressure, ensuring its vigorous activity under harsh conditions for efficient production of acid precursors such as alcohol, but more importantly, it can enhance the ability of yeast to secrete or activate related enzyme systems by regulating specific metabolic pathways, thereby more effectively acting on the abundant flavonoids, limonin and other beneficial ingredients in the acid orange peel, promoting the release, transformation or stabilization of these substances, and ultimately contributing to the more excellent biological activity, flavor complexity and potential health value of the finished fruit vinegar.

[0023] 5. In the double-enzyme fermentation, the yeast is intensified by its excellent tolerance and high-efficiency alcohol conversion ability, which can quickly produce stable and high-quality wine in an acidic high-sugar environment, providing a substrate basis for acetic acid fermentation. The synergistic effect of the two bacteria under the optimized conditions of the response surface ensures not only the high conversion rate of alcohol to acetic acid, but also the formation of complex flavor substances, especially esters, making the fruit vinegar more rich in flavor levels and better in quality.

[0092] The total flavonoid content was determined by aluminum nitrate colorimetry. The obtained fruit vinegar was extracted with 60% ethanol, and the clear liquid was obtained by filtration. 1 mL of sample extract was taken, 5 mL of distilled water was added, and then 1 mL of 5% sodium nitrite solution was added. After shaking, it was placed for 6 min, then 1 mL of 10% aluminum nitrate solution was added, shaken and placed for 6 min. 10 mL of 5% sodium hydroxide solution was added, and the volume was made to 25 mL with 60% ethanol, shaken and mixed, placed in a 45°C water bath for 10 min, then taken out and cooled. Centrifugation was performed at 3000 r / min for 5 min, and the supernatant was taken to measure the absorbance at 505 nm.

[0093] The total phenol content was determined by directly diluting the fruit vinegar sample, taking 100 μL of sample liquid, adding 7 mL of distilled water, adding 0.5 mL of Folin reagent, shaking for 1 min, then adding 1.5 mL of 20% sodium carbonate solution, making the volume to 10 mL, placing in the dark for 1 h, and measuring the absorbance at 760 nm.
