Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of microbial technology, for example to a Haematococcus pluvialis RXXHp1 and its applications. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, with a significant increase in health awareness, the public's dietary concepts have gradually shifted from "eating enough" to "eating well," and then from "eating well" to "food therapy." Against this backdrop, the phenomenon of hidden hunger deserves particular attention. It refers to a state of malnutrition that, despite adequate calorie intake, results from a long-term deficiency of essential vitamins and minerals in the diet, leading to a condition that is difficult to detect but seriously affects health. According to the 2022 Global Nutrition Report, over 2 billion people worldwide are suffering from hidden hunger; among these, the supplementation of the trace element selenium is particularly difficult, becoming one of the nutritional deficiencies that urgently need to be addressed.
[0003] Selenium, an essential nutrient for the human body, plays a vital role in maintaining immune function, protecting cardiovascular health, and fighting tumors. However, selenium is not an essential element for the growth and development of higher plants, making it difficult to provide a stable, precise, and high-quality selenium supply through conventional diets of grains, vegetables, and fruits. Inorganic selenium, due to its high toxicity, is not an ideal choice. In contrast, organic selenium has gained attention due to its higher bioavailability and lower toxicity. Organic selenium mainly includes selenoamino acids, selenoproteins, selenopolysaccharides, selenonucleic acids, and various methylated selenium compounds; among them, selenoproteins are the crown jewel of organic selenium. Studies show that selenoproteins are mainly found in algae, humans, and animals, but have not yet been found in fungi, higher plants, and yeast. Compared to other species, algae have a higher quantity of selenoproteins and a richer variety of organic selenium. Microalgae, as the main absorbers of selenium in aquatic ecosystems, can rapidly absorb inorganic selenium from water and convert it into organic selenium, which is more efficiently absorbed by the human body, making them an excellent carrier for selenium fortification. Therefore, using microalgae as substrate organisms and agro-biofortification to increase the concentration of selenoproteins is considered a simple, rapid, and effective solution to address selenium deficiency in the human body, particularly in cases of latent hunger.
[0004] Haematococcus pluvialis is a single-celled eukaryotic green algae and a new resource food approved by the National Health Commission of China. As one of the earliest photosynthetic life forms on Earth, Haematococcus pluvialis has survived five mass extinctions. It not only possesses characteristics such as not competing with humans for food, land, fertilizer, or agricultural opportunities, and being unaffected by seasonal limitations, but also boasts advantages such as industrial production capability, high energy efficiency, strong resistance to adverse conditions, high yield, edibility of the entire plant, and high nutritional value. More importantly, Haematococcus pluvialis can synthesize and accumulate astaxanthin, making it a high-quality natural source of astaxanthin. Astaxanthin is a natural tetraterpenoid secondary metabolite with powerful antioxidant properties; its antioxidant capacity is 500 times that of vitamin E and 6000 times that of vitamin C. It also has a highly efficient ability to scavenge free radicals and is widely used in food, pharmaceuticals, feed, and cosmetics.
[0005] For example, Chinese patent document CN202210992437.2 provides a method for obtaining microalgae products with high organic selenium content through heterotrophic culture. This method improves the tolerance and accumulation capacity of heterotrophic Chlorella by directionally domesticating it. It has the advantages of simplicity, convenience, low cost, and wide applicability. The domesticated algal strains can be heterotrophically cultured to obtain Chlorella products with high organic selenium content and high density. Therefore, the aforementioned patent document only discloses a method for enriching selenium using domesticated heterotrophic Chlorella, but it does not address Haematococcus pluvialis, which can enrich selenium, and even synergistically enrich organic selenium and astaxanthin.
[0006] In summary, there is an urgent need for a Haematococcus pluvialis species that can enrich organic selenium, and even synergistically enrich organic selenium and astaxanthin. Summary of the Invention

[0092] Example 2: Collection, activation, separation, purification, and identification of algal strains
[0093] 1. Collection of algal strains
[0094] Water samples were collected on July 20, 2022, from Tianfu New Area, Chengdu, Sichuan Province (30°24′10″N, 104°7′18″E) using a phytoplankton net with an aperture of 64μm (i.e., 200 mesh).
[0095] 2. Algal strain activation
[0096] Transfer the collected water sample to a 15mL centrifuge tube and let it stand for 1-2 hours. Gently remove most of the supernatant, leaving 2-3mL of liquid at the bottom. Mix thoroughly and then incubate on a shaker at 25±1℃ and 180rpm for 6 hours to fully activate the sample.
[0097] 3. Isolation of algal strains
[0098] 10 μL of the activated sample was aspirated and dropped onto a glass slide. After confirming the presence of suspected target algal cells under a microscope, a single cell was picked up under the microscope using a capillary siphon method. This process of aspiration, microscopic examination, and dilution was repeated until only a single target algal cell was contained in the water droplet. The sample was then transferred to a 96-well plate containing 100 μL of BG11 liquid medium (without antibiotics) and incubated statically at a light / dark cycle of 12 h / 12 h and a light intensity of 20–30 μmol / m². -2 / s -1 The culture temperature is 25±1℃. During the static culture period, BG11 liquid culture medium should be added to about 100μL as needed.
[0099] 4. Purification of algal strains
[0100] After statically culturing individual target algal cells for 20–30 days, the growth of the algal species was examined under a microscope. If the algal cells grew well, they were serially diluted to 10-1. 0 10 -1 10 -2 and 10 -3 The concentrations were thoroughly mixed, and 200 μL of each gradient dilution was taken and spread onto a plate containing 50 mg / L ampicillin (Amp... 50+ ), 50 mg / L kanamycin (Kan 50+ ) and 100 mg / L cephalosporin (Cef 100+ Place the plates on BG11 solid plates and invert them in a constant temperature and light incubator. The light / dark cycle is 12h / 12h, and the light intensity is 10–30 μmol / m². -2 / s -1 The culture temperature was 25±1℃, and the plates were inverted for 7–15 days until single algal colonies appeared. The growth of single algal colonies and other microorganisms on the plates was then observed. If obvious microorganisms were present on the plates, single algal colonies were transferred to 200 μL of BG11 liquid medium (containing Amp) 100+ Kan 50+ Cef 100+ Mix thoroughly by suction and whisk, then dilute serially to 10⁻⁶. -1 and 10 -2 The concentration was thoroughly mixed and recoated onto a BG11 solid plate (which also contains Amp). 100+ Kan 50+ Cef 100+ The algae were cultured on a plate. The algal strain was purified through multiple platings until no obvious contaminating bacteria were observed on either the plate or individual algal colonies. Then, individual algal colonies were transferred to a modified BG11 liquid medium (containing Amp) for further purification. 25+ Cef 50+ The culture was carried out in a shaker for stepwise scaling-up, at a temperature of 25±1℃, a rotation speed of 180 rpm, a light / dark cycle of 12h / 12h, and a light intensity of 50 μmol / m². -2 / s -1 This serves as a reserve of algal cells for subsequent steps.
[0101] 5. Identification of algal species
[0102] 5.1 Morphological observation of algal species
[0103] A small amount of purified fresh algal cells were taken and their morphology was observed under a Leica DM5000 inverted microscope (Leica, Germany). Images were acquired using a Leica DFC320 CCD and photographed using differential interference contrast (DIC) and phase contrast (PH).
[0104] The morphological changes of algal cells are as follows Figure 1 As shown, the morphological description is as follows: The plant body is unicellular. The motile cells are green, oval, spherical, or pear-shaped, with two flagella of equal length. The cell wall is clearly separated from the protoplast, forming a peritopic space. As the cell volume increases, the motile cells begin to turn greenish-brown (red in the center and green on the outside), and the shape is mainly spherical. With the increase of culture time, most cells lose their flagella and produce new walls outside the protoplast, becoming spherical immobile cells. The immobile cell period can last for several months. During this period, the cells can still slowly proliferate and gradually increase in volume. The immobile cell diameter is 20-50 μm. As the volume increases, most cells, in addition to having thickened new walls, no longer retain the original cell wall and peritopic space. The contents of the cells also change from greenish-brown to bright red or dark red.
[0105] 5.2 Molecular identification of algal species
[0106] The purified algal strain was centrifuged at 5000 rpm for 5 min to collect the algal cells. The cells were repeatedly resuspended in sterile water to remove the liquid culture medium, and then collected for further molecular identification. The Ezup column-based plant tissue genomic DNA extraction kit from Sangon Biotech Co., Ltd. was used to extract the algal genome according to the manufacturer's instructions. New England Biolabs... High-Fidelity DNA Polymerase was used for PCR amplification.
[0107] The 50 μL PCR reaction system consisted of 25 ng of genomic DNA from the RXXHp1 algal strain. 10 μL Reaction Buffer, 1 μL 10 mM dNTPs, 2.5 μL each of 10 μM forward and reverse primers. 0.5 μL of High-Fidelity DNA Polymerase was added, and the volume was made up to 50 μL with double-distilled water.
[0108] PCR was used to identify three genes: 18S ribosomal RNA gene (18S rRNA), ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase / oxygenase large subunit (RbcL), and translation elongation factor Tu (tufA). The reaction conditions were: 94℃ pre-denaturation for 5 min, 94℃ denaturation for 1 min, 55℃ annealing for 30 s, 72℃ extension for 30 s, for 35 cycles; 72℃ extension for 5 min.
[0109] Among them, there are three pairs of primers for molecular identification, namely:
[0110] 1) Amplify the 18S rRNA region using the upstream primer 5'-AACCTGGTTGATCCTGCCAGT-3' and the downstream primer 5'-TGATCCTTCTGCAGGTTCACCTAC-3';
[0111] 2) Amplify the RbcL region using the upstream primer 5'-CAACCAGGTGTTCCASCTGAAG-3' and the downstream primer 5'-CTAAAGCTGGCATGTGCCATAC-3';
[0112] 3) Amplify the tufA region using the upstream primer 5'-TGAAACAGAAMAWCGTCATTATGC-3' and the downstream primer 5'-CCTTCNCGAATMGCRAAWCGC-3'.
[0113] The 18S rRNA, RcbL, and tufA products obtained by PCR amplification were recovered and purified using a Takara gel extraction kit and sent to the Chengdu branch of Sangon Biotech (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. for sequencing. The sequencing results were submitted to the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) database for Nucleotide BLSAT sequence alignment, and it was found that 18S rRNA (such as RcbL, RcbL, and tufA) was... Figure 2 As shown), RbcL (as shown) Figure 3 (as shown) and tufA (as shown) Figure 4 The gene sequencing results (shown) showed that the query coverage of Haematococcus pluvialis was 97%, 98%, and 97%, respectively, and the per-identity was 98.38%, 99.69%, and 99.57%, respectively, with an E-value of 0 for all of them.

[0118] Example 3: Selenium tolerance test of Haematococcus pluvialis RXXHp1
[0119] 1. Experimental Methods
[0120] 1.1 Treatment with different concentrations of sodium selenite (i.e., Na2SeO3)
[0121] Haematococcus pluvialis RXXHp1 (i.e., RXXHp1) was inoculated into modified BG11 liquid medium containing 25 mg / L ampicillin and 50 mg / L cephalosporin and then cultured stepwise on a shaker at a temperature of 25 ± 1 °C, a rotation speed of 180 rpm, a light / dark cycle of 12 h / 12 h, and a light intensity of 50 μmol·m⁻¹. -2 ·s -1 Once Haematococcus pluvialis RXXHp1 was cultured to the late logarithmic growth phase, the culture medium was replaced with fresh modified BG11 liquid medium, and the initial concentration of algal cells was adjusted to OD680 = 0.2. The culture was then dispensed into 50 mL Erlenmeyer flasks for subsequent treatment experiments.
[0122] Different concentrations of Na2SeO3 were used for treatment, namely 0 mg / L, 100 mg / L, 200 mg / L, 500 mg / L, 1000 mg / L, 1500 mg / L, 2000 mg / L and 3000 mg / L. The culture temperature was 25±1℃, the culture speed was 180 rpm, and the heterotrophic culture was carried out continuously for 7 days without light.
[0123] 1.2 Determination of microalgal growth curves
[0124] A certain amount of fresh algal solution was taken, and the optical density value of RXXHp1 cells at 680nm was measured using an ELISA reader (Metash, UV-9000, China), and a growth curve was plotted.
[0125] 1.3 Chlorophyll Fluorescence Analysis
[0126] Chlorophyll fluorescence was measured using MAXI-IMAGING-PAM (WALZ, Germany). After mixing the samples, 200 μL was pipetted into each black 96-well plate, and chlorophyll fluorescence parameters were measured after 5 min of dark adaptation.
[0127] 2. Experimental Results
[0128] 2.1 RXXHp1 exhibits a certain degree of tolerance to Na2SeO3 stress.
[0129] This example investigated the effects of different concentrations of Na₂SeO₃ (0 mg / L, 100 mg / L, 200 mg / L, 500 mg / L, 1000 mg / L, 1500 mg / L, 2000 mg / L, and 3000 mg / L) on the growth characteristics of RXXHp1 algal cells under heterotrophic, light-free continuous culture for 7 days. The results are as follows: Figures 8-15 As shown. The specific manifestations are as follows:
[0130] Compared to the 0 mg / L Na₂SeO₃ treatment, in the 100–1500 mg / L Na₂SeO₃ treatments, the color of the RXXHp1 culture medium changed from green to light yellow as the concentration increased (e.g., Figure 8 (As shown); the color of the algal cells changed from green to light brown, and some cells turned red (as shown). Figure 9 As shown); the cell optical density value gradually increased with the extension of treatment time (e.g. Figure 10 (as shown); chlorophyll fluorescence changes from blue-green to orange (as shown). Figure 11 As shown in the figure, the maximum photosynthetic efficiency Fv / Fm and the actual photosynthetic efficiency Y(II) gradually decrease with the extension of treatment time (e.g. Figure 12 (as shown in A and 12B);
[0131] The significant difference was that after treatment with high concentrations of Na₂SeO₃ (2000 mg / L and 3000 mg / L, respectively), the culture medium of RXXHp1 turned pale yellow (e.g., ...). Figure 13 (As shown); the algal cells turned reddish-brown, with a higher proportion of red cells, and some cells died (as shown). Figure 14 (As shown); chlorophyll fluorescence imaging showed almost no detectable values from day 5 to day 7 of treatment (e.g.) Figure 13 (As shown); the maximum photosynthetic efficiency Fv / Fm and the actual photosynthetic efficiency Y(II) decreased most significantly. Between days 5 and 7, the actual photosynthetic efficiency Y(II) was almost undetectable (as shown). Figure 15 (As shown in A and 15B).
[0132] In summary, RXXHp1 exhibits a certain degree of tolerance to Na2SeO3 concentrations less than or equal to 1500 mg / L.
[0133] Example 4: Test on the synergistic enrichment effect of Haematococcus pluvialis RXXHp1 on organic selenium and astaxanthin.
[0134] 1. Experimental Methods
[0135] 1.1 Treatment with different concentrations of sodium selenite (i.e., Na2SeO3)
[0136] Haematococcus pluvialis RXXHp1 (i.e., RXXHp1) was inoculated into modified BG11 liquid medium containing 25 mg / L ampicillin and 50 mg / L cephalosporin and then cultured stepwise on a shaker at a temperature of 25 ± 1 °C, a rotation speed of 180 rpm, a light / dark cycle of 12 h / 12 h, and a light intensity of 50 μmol·m⁻¹. -2 ·s -1 Once Haematococcus pluvialis RXXHp1 was cultured to the late logarithmic growth phase, the culture medium was replaced with fresh modified BG11 liquid medium, and the initial concentration of algal cells was adjusted to OD680 = 0.2. The culture was then dispensed into 50 mL Erlenmeyer flasks for subsequent treatment experiments.
[0137] Treatment with different concentrations of Na₂SeO₃ (0 mg / L, 100 mg / L, 200 mg / L, 500 mg / L, 1000 mg / L, and 1500 mg / L) was conducted at a culture temperature of 25 ± 1 °C and a culture speed of 180 rpm, using a 300 μmol·m⁻¹ hydrochloric acid generator. -2 ·s -1 Cultured under continuous light for 7 days.
[0138] 1.2 Determination of Carotenoid Content
[0139] Determination of carotenoid content: 50±5 mg of freeze-dried algal powder was weighed, and astaxanthin and other carotenoids were extracted according to the national standard (GB / T311520-2015). Carotenoid content was detected by HPLC-DAD and LC-QTOF-MS, and quantification was performed using reference standards. The standards were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich.
[0140] 1.3 Determination of selenate and selenite ions
[0141] Weigh 100±1 mg of freeze-dried algae powder and determine and calculate the selenate and selenite content according to the national supply and marketing cooperative industry standard (GH / T 1429-2023) using high performance liquid chromatography-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry.
[0142] 1.4 Determination of total selenium content
[0143] Weigh 100±1 mg of freeze-dried algae powder and determine and calculate the total selenium content according to the first method of ICP-MS in the national standard (GB 5009.93-2017). Organic selenium content = total selenium content - (selenate content + selenite content).
[0144] It should be noted that the other experimental methods involved in this embodiment are the same as those in Embodiment 2, and will not be repeated here.
[0145] 2. Experimental Results
[0146] 2.1 Effects of different concentrations of Na₂SeO₃ on the growth of RXXHp1 under illumination
[0147] The initial concentration of RXXHp1 cells was OD680 = 0.2, 300 μmol·m -2 ·s -1 After 7 days of continuous light cultivation, the results were as follows: Figures 16-17 As shown, specifically, under treatment with 100–1500 mg / L Na₂SeO₃, the macroscopic phenotypic color of microalgae changed to orange-red (e.g., Figure 16 (As shown); the cell optical density value showed a significant increase, with the increase in 1500 mg / L Na2SeO3 being relatively slower (as shown). Figure 17 (As shown).
[0148] The above results indicate that treatment with 100–1500 mg / L Na2SeO3 promotes the accumulation of colored pigments in RXXHp1 algal cells, and the growth rate gradually slows down as the treatment concentration increases.
[0149] 2.2 Analysis of the effect of different concentrations of Na₂SeO₃ on chlorophyll fluorescence of RXXHp1 under light irradiation
[0150] The effects of different concentrations of Na₂SeO₃ on the chlorophyll fluorescence parameters of RXXHp1 under illumination are as follows: Figures 18-19 As shown, specifically, compared to 0 mg / L Na2SeO3, under treatment with 100–1500 mg / L Na2SeO3, the chlorophyll fluorescence of RXXHp1 changed from blue-green to yellow-brown on days 0–5, and this change was alleviated on day 7 (e.g., Figure 18 (As shown); the maximum photosynthetic efficiency Fv / Fm and the actual photosynthetic efficiency Y(II) generally showed a decreasing trend from day 0 to day 5, while increasing from day 5 to day 7 (as shown). Figure 19 (As shown in A and 19B).
[0151] The above results indicate that RXXHp1 has an adaptive and self-regulating recovery function after being subjected to selenium stress.
[0152] 2.3 Effects of different concentrations of Na2SeO3 under light on the enrichment of organic selenium and astaxanthin in RXXHp1
[0153] The effects of different concentrations of Na2SeO3 treatment under light on the enrichment of organic selenium and astaxanthin in RXXHp1 are as follows: Figures 20-21 As shown in the figure, the specific results of the astaxanthin content test are as follows: Figure 20 As shown, under illumination, the astaxanthin accumulation of RXXHp1 gradually increased with the increase of Na2SeO3 treatment concentration, reaching 10.53 mg / g after 7 days of treatment with 1500 mg / L Na2SeO3; the results of organic selenium content detection are as follows. Figure 21 As shown, under illumination, the content of organic selenium enriched by RXXHp1 gradually increased with the increase of Na2SeO3 treatment concentration. After 7 days of treatment with 1500 mg / L Na2SeO3, the content of organic selenium reached 739 mg / kg, and no inorganic selenium content was detected, indicating that RXXHp1 had a good effect on enriching organic selenium.
[0154] It should be noted that the astaxanthin and organic selenium contents in this embodiment are data obtained only from the co-culture of RXXHp1 under different concentrations of Na2SeO3 for 7 days; therefore, it should be understood that the astaxanthin and organic selenium contents will increase accordingly with the increase of culture time.
[0155] In conclusion, Haematococcus pluvialis RXXHp1 can promote the accumulation of astaxanthin while enriching organic selenium.
[0156] Example 5: Application of Haematococcus pluvialis RXXHp1 in the preparation of 42% vol liqueur
[0157] After the Haematococcus pluvialis RXXHp1 cultured in Example 2 was allowed to settle naturally for 2-3 days, the algal sludge was collected and then spray-dried using a spray dryer (temperature 150-200℃) to obtain algal powder, which was then stored in a cool, dark place (temperature 4-10℃) for later use.
[0158] The preparation method of the above-mentioned liqueur includes: adding Haematococcus pluvialis RXXHp1 algal powder to 42% vol light-aroma sorghum liquor base liquor, stirring evenly, homogenizing it once with a high-pressure homogenizer (pressure 30-40 MPa), sealing it, soaking it in the dark at 15-20℃ for 7-100 days, and then filtering it to obtain the liqueur.
[0159] It should be noted that a total of 4 groups of liquor were prepared in this embodiment, in which the mass of Haematococcus pluvialis RXXHp1 algal powder accounted for 0%, 1%, 2%, and 5% of the mass of 42% vol light-aroma sorghum liquor base liquor, respectively.
[0160] The results are as follows Figure 22 As shown, except for the liqueur prepared from algal powder without the addition of Haematococcus pluvialis RXXHp1, the liqueurs prepared from the remaining groups all effectively extracted the red substances from Haematococcus pluvialis. The higher the concentration of algal powder added, the more obvious the red color appeared. The taste of the liqueur has both a light fragrance and an algal aroma. Furthermore, the astaxanthin content and free radical scavenging ability of the liqueur also increased with the increase of the concentration of algal powder added.
[0161] Therefore, Haematococcus pluvialis RXXHp1 can not only effectively improve the color of 42% vol liqueur, but also increase its astaxanthin content, thereby enhancing its free radical scavenging ability.
[0162] Example 6: Application of Haematococcus pluvialis RXXHp1 in the preparation of 47% vol liqueur
[0163] After the Haematococcus pluvialis RXXHp1 cultured in Example 2 was allowed to settle naturally for 2-3 days, the algal sludge was collected and then spray-dried using a spray dryer (temperature 150-200℃) to obtain algal powder, which was then stored in a cool, dark place (temperature 4-10℃) for later use.
[0164] The preparation method of the above-mentioned liqueur includes: adding Haematococcus pluvialis RXXHp1 algal powder to 47% vol light-aroma sorghum liquor base liquor, stirring evenly, homogenizing it once with a high-pressure homogenizer (pressure 30-40 MPa), sealing it, soaking it in the dark at 15-20℃ for 7-100 days, and then filtering it to obtain the liqueur.
[0165] It should be noted that a total of 4 groups of liquor were prepared in this embodiment, in which the mass of Haematococcus pluvialis RXXHp1 algal powder accounted for 0%, 1%, 2%, and 5% of the mass of 47% vol light-aroma sorghum liquor base liquor, respectively.
[0166] The results are as follows Figure 23 As shown, except for the liqueur prepared from algal powder without the addition of Haematococcus pluvialis RXXHp1, the liqueurs prepared from the remaining groups all effectively extracted the red substances from Haematococcus pluvialis. The higher the concentration of algal powder added, the more obvious the red color appeared. The taste of the liqueur has both a light fragrance and an algal aroma. Furthermore, the astaxanthin content and free radical scavenging ability of the liqueur also increased with the increase of the concentration of algal powder added.
[0167] Therefore, Haematococcus pluvialis RXXHp1 can not only effectively improve the color of 47% vol liqueur, but also increase its astaxanthin content, thereby enhancing its free radical scavenging ability.
[0168] Example 7: Application of Haematococcus pluvialis RXXHp1 in the preparation of 53% vol liqueur
[0169] After the Haematococcus pluvialis RXXHp1 cultured in Example 2 was allowed to settle naturally for 2-3 days, the algal sludge was collected and then spray-dried using a spray dryer (temperature 150-200℃) to obtain algal powder, which was then stored in a cool, dark place (temperature 4-10℃) for later use.
[0170] The preparation method of the above-mentioned liqueur includes: adding Haematococcus pluvialis RXXHp1 algal powder to 53% vol light-aroma sorghum liquor base liquor, stirring evenly, homogenizing it once with a high-pressure homogenizer (pressure 30-40 MPa), sealing it, soaking it in the dark at 15-20℃ for 7-100 days, and then filtering it to obtain the liqueur.
[0171] It should be noted that a total of 4 groups of liquor were prepared in this embodiment, in which the mass of Haematococcus pluvialis RXXHp1 algal powder accounted for 0%, 1%, 2%, and 5% of the mass of 53% vol light-aroma sorghum liquor base liquor, respectively.
[0172] The results are as follows Figure 24 As shown, except for the liqueur prepared from algal powder without the addition of Haematococcus pluvialis RXXHp1, the liqueurs prepared from the remaining groups all effectively extracted the red substances from Haematococcus pluvialis. The higher the concentration of algal powder added, the more obvious the red color appeared. The taste of the liqueur has both a light fragrance and an algal aroma. Furthermore, the astaxanthin content and free radical scavenging ability of the liqueur also increased with the increase of the concentration of algal powder added.
[0173] Therefore, Haematococcus pluvialis RXXHp1 can not only effectively improve the color of 53% vol liqueur, but also increase its astaxanthin content, thereby enhancing its free radical scavenging ability.
[0174] Example 8: Application of Haematococcus pluvialis RXXHp1 in the Preparation of Liqueur
[0175] The physicochemical properties, biological activity, and flavor of liqueurs prepared from Haematococcus pluvialis RXXHp1 algal powder (HPSW) with different addition amounts were comprehensively evaluated and analyzed. The results are as follows:
[0176] With the increase of algae powder addition, such as Figure 25 As shown in (A), the color of the liqueur gradually deepens; as Figure 25 As shown in (B), the pH of the liqueur gradually increases, exhibiting a slightly acidic state; as Figure 25 As shown in (C), the total acid content of the liqueur gradually increases; as Figure 25 As shown in (D), regarding alcohol content, with an addition of 1%, the alcohol content of the liqueur decreases to 44 degrees; as Figure 25 As shown in (E) and (F), the addition of algae powder reduced the content of both reducing sugars and total esters; as Figure 25 As shown in (G) and (H), in terms of active ingredients, the addition of algae powder can significantly increase the content of the two active ingredients, total flavonoids and total polyphenols.
[0177] like Figure 26 As shown in (A), with the increase of algae powder addition, the antioxidant activity indicators of the liqueur, such as DPPH, ABTS, and FRAP, were significantly improved; Figure 26 As shown in (B), in terms of DNA protection activity, liqueur exhibits superior DNA protection activity compared to baijiu (channel 5), and can protect DNA and slow down oxidation under the strong oxidizing environment of Fenton's reagent. These results indicate that liqueur prepared using Haematococcus pluvialis RXXHp1 algal powder has excellent antioxidant and DNA protection bioactivities, making it healthier for the human body.
[0178] Furthermore, electronic noses and electronic tongues can simulate human senses to reflect the flavor and quality of food. For example... Figure 27 As shown, in terms of aroma, the addition of algae powder resulted in a difference in aroma between the liqueur and baijiu, with the 1% HPSW concentration showing the most significant difference. In terms of taste, the four types of liqueur—baijiu, 0.1% HPSW, 0.5% HPSW, and 1% HPSW—did differ, and the electronic tongue could distinguish them well. The 1% HPSW liqueur had a stronger sweet and bitter flavor. These data indicate that the flavor and quality of Haematococcus pluvialis liqueur prepared using Haematococcus pluvialis RXXHp1 algae powder were improved.
[0179] Example 9: Application of Haematococcus pluvialis RXXHp1 in the preparation of 75% vol liqueur
[0180] After the Haematococcus pluvialis RXXHp1 cultured in Example 2 was allowed to settle naturally for 2-3 days, the algal sludge was collected and then spray-dried using a spray dryer (temperature 150-200℃) to obtain algal powder, which was then stored in a cool, dark place (temperature 4-10℃) for later use.
[0181] The preparation method of the above-mentioned liqueur includes: adding Haematococcus pluvialis RXXHp1 algal powder to 75% vol light-aroma sorghum liquor base liquor, stirring evenly, homogenizing it once with a high-pressure homogenizer (pressure 30-40 MPa), sealing it, soaking it in the dark at 15-20℃ for 7-100 days, and then filtering it to obtain the liqueur.
[0182] It should be noted that a total of 8 groups of liquor were prepared in this embodiment, in which the mass of Haematococcus pluvialis RXXHp1 algal powder accounted for 0%, 0.075%, 0.1%, 0.15%, 0.25%, 0.4%, 1%, and 5% of the mass of 75% vol light-aroma sorghum liquor base liquor, respectively.
[0183] The results are as follows Figure 28 As shown, except for the liqueur prepared from Haematococcus pluvialis RXXHp1 without its addition, the remaining liqueurs effectively extracted the red substances from Haematococcus pluvialis. The higher the concentration of the added algae powder, the more obvious the red color appeared. The liqueur had both a light fragrance and an algal aroma. Furthermore, the content of astaxanthin and lutein in the liqueur, as well as the free radical scavenging ability of the liqueur, increased with the increase of the concentration of added algae powder.
[0184] Therefore, Haematococcus pluvialis RXXHp1 can not only effectively improve the color of 75% vol liqueur, but also increase its astaxanthin and lutein content, thereby enhancing its free radical scavenging ability.
[0185] Example 10: Application of Haematococcus pluvialis RXXHp1 in the preparation of 100% vol liqueur
[0186] After the Haematococcus pluvialis RXXHp1 cultured in Example 2 was allowed to settle naturally for 2-3 days, the algal sludge was collected and then spray-dried using a spray dryer (temperature 150-200℃) to obtain algal powder, which was then stored in a cool, dark place (temperature 4-10℃) for later use.
[0187] The preparation method of the above-mentioned liqueur includes: adding Haematococcus pluvialis RXXHp1 algal powder to 100% vol light-aroma sorghum liquor base liquor, stirring evenly, homogenizing it once with a high-pressure homogenizer (pressure 30-40 MPa), sealing it, soaking it in the dark at 15-20℃ for 7-100 days, and then filtering it to obtain the liqueur.
[0188] It should be noted that a total of 8 groups of liquor were prepared in this embodiment, in which the mass of Haematococcus pluvialis RXXHp1 algal powder accounted for 0%, 0.075%, 0.1%, 0.15%, 0.25%, 0.4%, 1%, and 5% of the mass of 100% vol light-aroma sorghum liquor base liquor, respectively.
[0189] The results are as follows Figure 29 As shown, except for the liqueur prepared from Haematococcus pluvialis RXXHp1 without its addition, the remaining liqueurs effectively extracted the red substances from Haematococcus pluvialis. The higher the concentration of the added algae powder, the more obvious the red color appeared. The liqueur had both a light fragrance and an algal aroma. Furthermore, the content of astaxanthin and lutein in the liqueur, as well as the free radical scavenging ability of the liqueur, increased with the increase of the concentration of added algae powder.
[0190] Therefore, Haematococcus pluvialis RXXHp1 can not only effectively improve the color of 100% vol liqueur, but also increase its astaxanthin and lutein content, thereby enhancing its free radical scavenging ability.
[0191] In conclusion, the liqueur developed using Haematococcus pluvialis RXXHp1 algal powder exhibits physicochemical properties, active ingredients, antioxidant activity, DNA protection activity, and flavor quality that differ from baijiu (Chinese white liquor), resulting in an overall improved quality. It is expected to serve as a functional liquor with health benefits.
[0192] Therefore, the Haematococcus pluvialis RXXHp1 disclosed herein has a certain tolerance to selenium ion stress environment, and can not only enrich organic selenium, but also promote the accumulation of astaxanthin; in addition, using the Haematococcus pluvialis RXXHp1 in the preparation of wine can significantly increase the content of active substances such as astaxanthin and lutein in the wine, thereby improving the color and flavor of the wine and enhancing its antioxidant capacity.
