[0061] Example 2
[0062] S1. Leuconostoc mesenteroides was added to TSB medium, cultured at 37°C for 24 hours, and centrifuged to obtain a precipitate. 4 parts of whey protein, 3 parts of oligosaccharides, 2 parts of glucose, and 2 parts of medium-chain triglycerides were added to 100 parts of water by weight to obtain a fermentation medium. The precipitate was added to the fermentation medium. The amount of Leuconostoc mesenteroides added was 10 8 CFU / mL, fermented at 37°C for 48 h to obtain the fermentation product of Leuconostoc mesenteroides;
[0063] S2. vacuum freeze-drying the fermentation product of Leuconostoc mesenteroides to obtain fermentation product powder.
[0064] Example 3
[0065] S1. Leuconostoc mesenteroides was added to TSB medium, cultured at 37°C for 24 hours, and centrifuged to obtain a precipitate. 4 parts of skim milk powder, 3 parts of oligosaccharides, 2 parts of glucose, and 2 parts of medium-chain triglycerides were added to 100 parts of water by weight to obtain a fermentation medium. The precipitate was added to the fermentation medium. The amount of Leuconostoc mesenteroides added was 10 8 CFU / mL, fermented at 37°C for 48 h to obtain the fermentation product of Leuconostoc mesenteroides;
[0066] S2. vacuum freeze-drying the fermentation product of Leuconostoc mesenteroides to obtain fermentation product powder.
[0067] Example 4
[0068] S1. Add Leuconostoc mesenteroides to TSB medium, culture at 37°C for 24 hours, centrifuge to obtain a precipitate, add 4 parts of milk protein, 3 parts of oligosaccharides, 2 parts of glucose and 2 parts of medium-chain triglycerides to 100 parts of water by weight to obtain a fermentation medium, add the precipitate to the fermentation medium, and add 10 parts of Leuconostoc mesenteroides to the fermentation medium. 8 CFU / mL, fermented at 37°C for 48 h to obtain the fermentation product of Leuconostoc mesenteroides;
[0069] S2. vacuum freeze-drying the fermentation product of Leuconostoc mesenteroides to obtain fermentation product powder.
[0070] The pH before and after fermentation of Example 2, Example 3, and Example 4 were recorded. The results are shown in Table 3:
[0071] Table 3
[0072] Example 2 Example 3 Example 4 pH before fermentation 5.4 5.4 5.4 pH after fermentation 4.1 4.4 4.8
[0073] From Examples 2 to 4 and Table 3, it can be seen that the pH after fermentation in Example 2 is the lowest. The lower the pH, the more complete the fermentation. Therefore, the fermentation degree of Example 2 is the highest.
[0074] The total number of colonies was 10 5 CFU, 10 6 CFU and 10 7 CFU of Propionibacterium acnes were evenly spread on a fortified Clostridium culture medium plate, and then a drug-sensitive paper disc was placed on the coated Propionibacterium acnes. The fermentation product powders prepared in Examples 2, 3, and 4 were dissolved in 10 mL of sterile water, and 20 μL of each was dripped onto the drug-sensitive paper disc. The results are shown in Table 4:
[0075] Table 4
[0076]
[0077] Combining Examples 2 to 4 and Table 4, it can be seen that Example 2 has the largest inhibition zone, and therefore, Example 2 has the best effect in inhibiting Propionibacterium acnes.
[0078] 100 mg of the fermentation product powder prepared in Example 2 was dissolved in 500 μL of a solvent having an acetonitrile / water volume ratio of 1:1. Liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry analysis were performed using a mass spectrometer. Mobile phase A and mobile phase B were 25 mM ammonium formate and 0.1% acetonitrile formic acid solution, respectively. At the same time, multiple reaction monitoring mode was used to selectively and quantitatively monitor tryptophan metabolites in the fermentation product. Peak areas and retention times were extracted using Multiquant 3.0.2 software. Standard curves of 13 tryptophan metabolites at different concentrations were established for quantification. The results are shown in FIG. Figure 3 , combined with Example 2 and Figure 3 Compared with whey protein, the fermentation product powder prepared in Example 2 showed significant differences in the expression levels of tryptophan metabolites produced in Example 2, such as a significant increase in the content of indole-3-lactic acid (ILA) and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) that can reduce inflammation.
[0079] The zebrafish skin reacts similarly to the human skin in response to inflammatory stimulation. After the skin is subjected to inflammatory stimulation, neutrophils can be induced to gather on the skin surface. A zebrafish inflammation induction model was constructed using copper sulfate. After treatment with the test substance, the number of neutrophils on the skin surface was measured to evaluate whether the cosmetics had soothing and anti-inflammatory effects. Model group: copper sulfate (modeling drug), positive drug group: dexamethasone, sample group: fermentation product powder prepared in Example 2, the results are shown in Figure 4 , combined with Example 2 and Figure 4 Compared with the model group, the inhibition rate of neutrophil aggregation in the specific area of zebrafish in Example 2 was 84.35%, which was significantly different (p<0.05).
