Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of microbial inoculant, and particularly relates to a freeze-drying protective composition and application thereof in preparation of freeze-dried Lactobacillus fermentum TY-F13 bacteria. BACKGROUND
[0002] Yogurt, as a globally popular fermented dairy product, is favored by consumers for its unique flavor and nutritional value. However, the shelf life of yogurt is significantly affected by mold and yeast contamination, which has become a key bottleneck restricting the industrial scale development. Mold and yeast can still reproduce in low temperature environments, leading to stratification, rancidity and flavor deterioration in yogurt, not only reducing product quality, but also potentially causing food safety risks and economic losses to production enterprises.
[0003] To solve the above problems, the industry traditionally uses chemical preservatives (such as potassium sorbate), strict environmental control (such as sterile filling), or packaging material upgrading to extend the shelf life. However, chemical additives are controversial for health, and physical control measures face problems such as high cost, complex operation, or limited antibacterial effect. In recent years, lactic acid bacteria have become a research hotspot due to their natural antibacterial properties and probiotic functions. Among them, direct-fed lactic acid bacteria powder gradually replaces traditional starter cultures to become the core raw material for yogurt production due to its advantages such as no need for activation and convenient use. However, in the existing preparation process of direct-fed lactic acid bacteria powder, the freeze-drying process easily leads to damage of lactic acid bacteria cell membranes and loss of active ingredients, and the freeze-dried bacteria powder has a rapid decrease in activity during storage and transportation, with insufficient stability of antibacterial efficacy. At the same time, the production cycle is long and the efficiency is low, which is difficult to meet the needs of high activity, long shelf life and low cost of bacteria powder for industrial production.
[0004] In view of the technical bottlenecks such as low activity, poor stability, fluctuation of antibacterial efficacy, and insufficient production efficiency of lactic acid bacteria powder in the prior art, the present application aims to provide an optimized preparation method for direct-fed lactic acid bacteria powder. By innovating the formula and preparation process of freeze-drying protective agents, the freeze-drying survival rate and storage stability of lactic acid bacteria are improved, and their inhibition ability against mold and yeast is enhanced, thereby effectively extending the shelf life of yogurt and maintaining the original quality of the product. At the same time, the production process is simplified and the cost is reduced, providing an efficient and safe technical solution for the fermented dairy product industry. SUMMARY

[0115] 2) Defatted reconstituted milk (defatted milk powder added amount 120 g / L, sugar added amount 60 g / L) was heated to 95°C in a water bath for sterilization for 15 minutes to obtain an emulsion, and the emulsion was cooled to about 42°C and inoculated with a starter culture (commercial starter culture with product number S4.01T from Zelenye Linii LLC, Russia, same below); in addition, in order to make the results of the antibacterial experiment more obvious, Penicillium sp. liquid was added to the above emulsion according to a final concentration of 100 spores / cup (30 mL);
[0116] 3) The emulsion to which the Penicillium sp. liquid was added was divided into a control group, a positive group, a low-dose experimental group, and a high-dose experimental group; wherein the control group was not treated; the positive group was added with commercial preservative bacteria powder Y (commercial starter culture with product number S3.02 from Zelenye Linii LLC, Russia, same below) according to a final concentration of 10 5 CFU / mL of emulsion; the low-dose experimental group was added with TY-F13 freeze-dried bacteria powder (prepared in Example 1) according to a final concentration of 10 5 CFU / mL of emulsion; the high-dose experimental group was added with TY-F13 freeze-dried bacteria powder (prepared in Example 1) according to a final concentration of 10 6 CFU / mL of emulsion; different groups of emulsions were respectively treated according to the above, and then stirred uniformly and filled into 30 mL / cup;
[0117] 4) The different samples after the above treatment were all fermented in a 42°C constant temperature incubator for 5h to a pH of 4.6, and then ripened at 4°C for 12h to obtain different yogurt samples;
[0118] 5) Different yogurt samples were respectively stored at 10°C and 28°C, and the state of the yogurt samples was observed regularly.
[0119] The state change of different groups of yogurt samples at 10°C and 28°C is shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The results show that for Penicillium CICC2515, the growth and reproduction speed is significantly accelerated under the storage condition of 28°C than under the storage condition of 10°C; although temperature has a significant effect on the growth of mold, the freeze-dried bacteria powder shows a consistent trend in preservation effect under different temperature storage conditions, and the specific mold prevention effect ranking is: TY-F13 bacteria powder (10 6 cfu / mL) > TY-F13 bacteria powder (10 5 cfu / mL) > commercial preservative bacteria powder Y (10 5 cfu / mL) > blank control. This shows that the TY-F13 bacteria powder has the best mold prevention effect at a concentration of 10 6 cfu / mL, and even at a concentration of 10 5 cfu / mL is better than the commercial preservative bacteria powder Y (105 TY-F13 powder showed significant mold inhibition effect at different storage temperatures, and the optimal mold inhibition effect was at 10 6 CFU / mL, which was significantly better than the commercial preservative powder Y.
[0120] (2) Mixed mold inhibition test in production workshop
[0121] 1) Fresh yogurt was exposed in the open air for 7 days in the production workshop of Chongqing Tianyou Dairy Co., Ltd., and then the spoilage molds were obtained by isolation and purification identification. The spoilage molds included Trichoderma longibrachiatum JD1, T. longibrachiatum JD2, Aspergillus pseudotuberculus JB, A. fumigatus DHZ926-1, Cladosporium resinae JD926-2, Aspergillus sydowii CS926-2, and A. japonicus DHZ1.
[0122] 2) The mold indicator bacteria of the above spoilage molds were cultured on PDA plates at 28°C for 4 days until spores were generated. The plate surface was washed with sterile water containing 0.05% Tween 80, filtered with sterile gauze to obtain a spore suspension, and the concentration of mold spores was adjusted to an appropriate concentration using a hemocytometer. The mixed mold liquid was obtained by mixing the seven mold indicator bacteria at an appropriate concentration and storing it in a 4°C refrigerator.
[0123] 3) The skimmed reconstituted milk (skimmed milk powder addition amount 120 g / L, sugar addition amount 60 g / L) was heated to 95°C in a water bath for sterilization for 15 minutes to obtain a milk emulsion, which was cooled to about 42°C for inoculation of the starter culture. In order to make the results of the inhibition experiment more obvious, the mixed mold liquid was added to the above milk emulsion according to a final concentration of 100 spores / cup (30 mL).
[0124] 4) The milk emulsion with the added mixed mold liquid was divided into a control group, a positive group, a low-dose experimental group, a medium-dose experimental group, and a high-dose experimental group. The control group was not treated. The positive group was added with the commercial preservative powder Y according to a final concentration of 10 8 CFU / mL of the milk emulsion (the optimal addition amount recommended by the manufacturer). The low-dose experimental group was added with the TY-F13 freeze-dried powder (prepared in Example 1) according to a final concentration of 10 4 CFU / mL of the milk emulsion. The medium-dose experimental group was added with the TY-F13 freeze-dried powder (prepared in Example 1) according to a final concentration of 10 5 CFU / mL of the milk emulsion. The high-dose experimental group was added with the TY-F13 freeze-dried powder (prepared in Example 1) according to a final concentration of 10 6 CFU / mL of the milk emulsion. The different groups of milk emulsions were stirred evenly after the above treatments and then filled into 30 mL / cup.
[0125] 5) The different group samples after the above treatment are fermented in a constant temperature incubator at 42°C for 5h to end fermentation at pH 4.6, and are post-ripened at 4°C for 12h to obtain different yogurt samples;
[0126] 6) The different yogurt samples are stored at 28°C, and the state of the yogurt samples is observed regularly.
[0127] The state change of the different group yogurt samples at 28°C is shown in Table 3, and the results show that:
[0128] For the 7 mixed molds separated from the production workshop of Chongqing Tianyou Dairy Co., Ltd., the control group yogurt without any preservative strains began to have a small amount of colonies on the 5th day, and a large amount of mold appeared as time went on; the control group yogurt added with commercial preservative strain powder Y showed strong antibacterial effect in the early stage, but its antibacterial effect gradually weakened as the culture time was prolonged, but the coverage area of the mold was still lower than that of the control group; for the experimental group, the yogurt added with different concentrations (10 4 CFU / mL, 10 5 CFU / mL and 10 6 CFU / mL) of TY-F13 preservative strain powder showed obvious antibacterial effect, and the antibacterial effect was enhanced as the concentration increased. Even at a lower concentration (10 4 CFU / mL), the growth of the mold was significantly inhibited, and the coverage area of the mold was still much less than that of the control group and the commercial preservative strain Y group on the 16th day. In summary, the TY-F13 preservative strain powder has a significant inhibitory effect on the growth of mold in yogurt, and the antibacterial effect is enhanced as the added concentration increases, showing a long-term antibacterial performance better than that of the commercial preservative strain powder Y.
[0129] (Three) Different medium culture test
[0130] The effects of different yeast extracts in the liquid medium in Test Example 1 and Examples 6 to 8 on the growth performance of Lactobacillus fermentum TY-F13 were tested as follows: under sterile conditions, a frozen tube of Lactobacillus fermentum TY-F13 was taken out, and the bacteria liquid stored at -80°C was restored to room temperature, then streaked on a solid medium and cultured at 37°C for 32h to obtain a purified strain; after culture, a single colony was picked on the plate and inoculated in 5mL of liquid medium, and cultured at 37°C for 16h for activation to obtain a first-stage seed liquid; the first-stage seed liquid was transferred to 100mL of liquid medium and cultured at 37°C, and the viable cell count was determined at 5h, 8h, 12h and 24h, respectively; wherein, the solid medium was prepared by adding 1.5% agar by mass fraction to the liquid medium.
[0131] The viable counts of Lactobacillus fermentum TY-F13 after culturing in culture media containing different yeast extracts for different periods of time are shown in Table 2 below.
[0132] Table 2 Effects of different yeast extracts on the growth performance of TY-F13
[0133]
[0134] From Table 2 above, we can see that:
[0135] The culture medium prepared with yeast extract powder FM803 in Example 1 and yeast extract powder FM802 in Example 7 reached a concentration of nearly 9.0×10 8 The number of viable bacteria CFU / g was significantly higher than that of the yeast extract in Example 6 and the yeast extract powder FM503 in Example 8, indicating that yeast extract powder FM803 and yeast extract powder FM802 can quickly provide the nutrients required by Lactobacillus fermentum TY-F13 (such as amino acids, nucleotides, and vitamins), promoting it to enter the logarithmic growth phase. In contrast, the ordinary yeast extract (Example 6) and FM503 (Example 8) only reached 10 in 5 hours. 8 level, indicating that its nutrient release rate or ingredient adaptability is weak;
[0136] At 12 hours, the viable counts of both Example 1 and Example 7 exceeded 1.7×10 9 CFU / g, significantly better than Example 1 (4.1×10 8 ) and Example 8 (4.1×10 8 ), showing stronger nutritional support ability and bacterial expansion potential; especially Example 7 (FM802), which reached 2.0×10 9 CFU / g, which was the highest value among all groups, indicating that it had a stronger growth-promoting effect at a specific stage;
[0137] By 24 hours, Example 1 and Example 7 still maintained at 10 7 CFU / g, while Example 6 and Example 8 have dropped to 10 6 CFU / g, indicating that yeast extracts FM803 and FM802 not only promote rapid growth but also extend the stable period of the strain and reduce mortality. This may be related to their rich content of natural buffer substances, antioxidants, or cytoprotective factors, which help alleviate the toxic pressure caused by the accumulation of metabolic byproducts.
[0138] It can be seen from the above that, compared with traditional yeast extract and other yeast extracts (such as FM503), the yeast extract FM803 and FM802 can accelerate the growth start of the strain, shorten the lag phase, increase the maximum viable cell density, enhance the fermentation efficiency, prolong the stable phase of the strain, and improve the survival stability, and have good industrial application prospects.
[0139] In addition, the influence of different protein peptones in the liquid medium in Test Example 9 and Examples 6 to 8 on the growth performance of Lactobacillus fermentum TY-F13 was tested as follows: under sterile conditions, a frozen tube of Lactobacillus fermentum TY-F13 was taken out, and the bacteria liquid stored at -80°C was restored to room temperature, then streaked on a solid culture medium and cultured at 37°C for 32h to obtain a purified strain; after culturing, a single colony was picked on the plate and inoculated in 5mL of liquid medium, and cultured at 37°C for 16h for activation to obtain a first-stage seed liquid; the first-stage seed liquid was transferred to 100mL of liquid medium and cultured at 37°C, and the viable cell count was determined at 5h, 8h, 12h and 24h, respectively; wherein, the solid culture medium was prepared by adding 1.5% agar by mass fraction to the liquid culture medium.
[0140] The viable cell count of Lactobacillus fermentum TY-F13 after being cultured in the medium containing different protein peptones for different time is shown in Table 3.
[0141] Table 3 Influence of different protein peptones on the growth performance of TY-F13
[0142] Group 5h viable count 8h viable count 12h viable count 24h viable count Example 1 1.9 x 10 9 ]]> 3.1 x 10 9 ]]> 3.2 x 10 9 ]]> 4.0 x 10 7 ]] Example 9 7.0 x 10 8 ]]> 1.8 x 10 9 ]]> 1.5 x 10 9 ]]> 1.5 x 10 7 ]]> Example 10 1.7 x 10 9 ]]> 3.4 x 10 9 ]]> 3.3 x 10 9 ]]> 5.5 x 10 7 <!-- 10 -->]]> Example 11 7.8 x 10 8 ]] 1.0 x 10 9 ]]> 1.2 x 10 9 ]]> 1.6 x 10 7 ]]>
[0143] It can be seen from the above Table 3 that, when yeast peptone FP 102 (Example 1) and cottonseed peptone (Example 10) are selected as the medium components, the viable cell count of Lactobacillus fermentum TY-F13 in each growth stage is significantly higher than that when soybean peptone (Example 11) and bovine bone peptone (Example 1) are used. This indicates that the nutritional factors in yeast peptone FP 102 and cottonseed peptone are more in line with the metabolic requirements of Lactobacillus fermentum TY-F13, which is beneficial to the proliferation thereof.
