Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of biological product processing, and particularly relates to a large-scale production process of earthworm protein peptide with low molecular weight, low arsenic content and high fibrinolytic activity. BACKGROUND

[0002] Earthworm, also known as worm, is rich in amino acids, organic acids, enzymes, fatty acids and lipids, proteins and other nutrients. It can not only be used as animal feed and for the production of medicines and cosmetics, but also be used in the field of food and health food as a "new resource food" approved in 2009. Earthworm is often used as a traditional Chinese medicinal material, and has the effects of clearing heat and calming wind, relieving asthma, dredging collaterals and diuresis. In modern times, earthworm is still widely used in the production of medicines due to its unique effects.

[0003] Modern research shows that earthworm protein has a wide impact on the coagulation system and fibrinolytic system in the body. It can not only significantly reduce the platelet adhesion rate of rats, prolong the formation of thrombus in the body and dissolve thrombus in the body, but also increase cerebral blood flow, reduce cerebral vascular resistance, improve microcirculation, reduce the harm of three highs to the human body, and also confirm its good anticoagulant activity by fibrin plate method. Compared with macromolecular earthworm protein, small molecular earthworm protein peptide is more easily absorbed by the human body. At present, the method for preparing earthworm protein peptide mainly includes the processes of inducing vomiting from fresh earthworms, water extraction, enzymolysis, ultrafiltration and / or column separation, etc. The disadvantage is that there is no simple, efficient and large-scale production process.

[0004] As prior art CN114262727B discloses that earthworm protein with a molecular weight greater than 3000 Da is first obtained by ultrasonic assistance, then alkaline protease is added for ultrasonic-assisted enzymolysis, the enzymolysis product is ultrafiltered using a 10 kDa filter membrane to collect components smaller than 10 kDa, then a HiPrep16 / 10 DEAE FF pre-packed column is used for elution, and each fraction is collected. The product obtained has a peak area of more than E+07, and 39 peptides with a Denovo Score of more than 80 points are identified (molecular weight in the range of 510-947 Da, wide molecular weight distribution range, and complex peptide segments, such as containing 5-10 amino acids), of which the proportion of high-activity peptides is low. This method needs to use ultrafiltration process and column separation, and has many process steps and complex post-treatment, which greatly increases the cost, prolongs the process cycle, and has low product yield.

[0005] In addition, due to the special living environment of earthworms, they are easily polluted by heavy metals, among which the arsenic exceeds the standard most seriously. Therefore, when earthworm protein peptides are applied in clinical, food or health products, arsenic removal process is essential. At present, the technologies for removing arsenic in industry mainly include activated carbon adsorption, macroporous resin adsorption and other methods. However, the activated carbon adsorption has the problems of low adsorption capacity, poor selectivity for arsenic and complicated post-processing. The macroporous resin adsorption has the problems of poor selectivity for arsenic and the risk of secondary pollution caused by easy desorption after adsorption. Therefore, an efficient, safe and scalable arsenic removal process is urgently needed, which can reduce the total arsenic content to below 0.3 mg / kg while retaining the content of earthworm protein peptides.

[0006] Therefore, there is a need to screen a preparation method of earthworm protein peptides with fewer process steps, simple post-processing, low cost, short process cycle, high product yield, low arsenic residue, more concentrated molecular weight and higher fibrinolytic activity. SUMMARY

[0007] The purpose of the present application is to provide a preparation method of earthworm protein peptides with fewer process steps, simple post-processing, low cost, short process cycle, high product yield, low arsenic residue, more concentrated molecular weight and higher fibrinolytic activity.

[0010] Further improvement is that the earthworm protein peptide extraction supernatant is prepared by twice enzyme digestion, and the earthworm protein peptides with an average molecular weight of 700-900 Da and a fibrinolytic activity of 1100-1200 U / mg can be obtained without using filter membrane.

[0011] Further improvement lies in that the twice enzymolysis is one enzymolysis using bromelain and secondary enzymolysis using trypsin.

[0012] Further improvement lies in that the one enzymolysis controls pH at 7.0-9.0, enzymolysis temperature at 20-55 DEG C, adds bromelain at 1-5 g / L (mass-volume ratio of bromelain and homogenate supernatant of dilm), stirs and enzymolyzes for 4-12 h, inactivates by heating, and centrifugates to obtain one enzymolysis supernatant.

[0013] Further improvement lies in that the secondary enzymolysis controls pH at 7.5-8.5, enzymolysis temperature at 20-37 DEG C, adds trypsin at 0.1-0.5 g / L (mass-volume ratio of trypsin and homogenate supernatant of dilm), stirs and enzymolyzes for 4-12 h, inactivates by heating, and centrifugates to obtain dilm protein peptide extraction supernatant.

[0014] Further improvement lies in that the dilm is added with purified water in a mass-volume ratio of m:v = 1:1-3 after washing to crush and homogenate and break the wall.

[0015] Further improvement lies in that the chelating resin pretreatment is that the chelating resin is first rinsed with purified water, then pretreated with sodium hydroxide solution and sodium chloride solution, and rinsed with purified water until pH value is below 9.

[0016] Further improvement lies in that the pretreated macroporous chelating resin is added to the dilm protein peptide extraction supernatant in a chelating resin adding amount of 100-800 g / L to adsorb, the adsorption pH is controlled at 5-9, the adsorption temperature is controlled at 25-40 DEG C, and the adsorption time is controlled at 4-12 h.

[0017] Further improvement lies in that after the chelating resin adsorption ends, the supernatant after adsorption is treated with 0.22 mu m hollow fiber membrane to collect the clear filtrate, the clear filtrate of dilm protein peptide after adsorption is filtered and sterilized with 0.22 mu m filter core, and finally dried to obtain low-molecular-weight low-arsenic and high-fibrinolytic-activity dilm protein peptide.

[0018] Further improvement lies in that the drying is spray drying, the inlet air temperature is 180-200 DEG C, and the outlet air temperature is 80-95 DEG C to obtain low-molecular-weight low-arsenic and high-fibrinolytic-activity dilm protein peptide.

[0019] Further improvement includes a regeneration treatment step of the chelating resin, the chelating resin is first rinsed with sodium hydroxide solution and sodium chloride solution, and then rinsed with purified water until pH value is below 9.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the application has the following beneficial effects: The application discloses a large-scale production process of low-molecular-weight low-arsenic earthworm protein peptide with good fibrinolytic activity, and has the following advantages: 1) the problem that macromolecular earthworm protein is not easy to be absorbed by the human body is solved, the step of ultrafiltration screening after enzymolysis is avoided, and the average molecular weight of the earthworm protein peptide is less than 1000 Da through two-step enzymolysis, the average molecular weight of the small-molecular-weight earthworm protein peptide prepared by the compound enzyme is 700-900 Da (the molecular weight is more concentrated), the small-molecular-weight earthworm protein peptide is more easily absorbed by the human body, has better fibrinolytic activity, and the fibrinolytic activity is 1100-1200 U / mg. 2) By changing the adding amount, pH, temperature and adsorption time of the resin, the total arsenic residue in the earthworm protein peptide is effectively controlled, the total arsenic residue is reduced from >7 mg / kg to below 0.3 mg / kg, and the protein recovery rate is greater than or equal to 90%.

It should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the techniques disclosed in the examples represent techniques discovered by the inventors to function well in the practice of the application.

Any equivalent techniques that replace the specific implementation described herein with other technical solutions that have substantially the same effect are intended to be within the scope of the patent.

[0023] The materials, reagents and the like used in the following examples, unless otherwise specified, can be obtained commercially.

[0024] The macroporous chelating resin was pretreated by first rinsing with 2 BV of purified water, then pretreating with 2% mass concentration sodium hydroxide solution and 8% mass concentration sodium chloride solution at room temperature, and finally rinsing with purified water until the pH value was less than 9.

[0025] The macroporous chelating resin was regenerated by first rinsing with 2% mass concentration sodium hydroxide solution and 8% mass concentration sodium chloride solution at room temperature, and then rinsing with purified water until the pH value was less than 9.

[0026] The fibrinolytic activity of the earthworm protein peptide was detected by the fibrin plate method according to the method for determining the specific activity of earthworm lumbrokinase, and a standard curve was drawn using an earthworm lumbrokinase standard. Figure 1 Figure 2 The fibrin plate method was used to detect the fibrinolytic activity of the earthworm protein peptide.

[0027] Preparation of the buffer solution: 0.01 mol / L phosphate buffer solution: take 3.58 g of disodium hydrogen phosphate, dissolve and dilute to 100 ml with water to obtain solution A; take 0.78 g of sodium dihydrogen phosphate dihydrate, dissolve and dilute to 500 ml with water to obtain solution B, and mix solutions A and B to a pH of 7.8.

[0028] Working solution: mix 0.01 mol / L phosphate buffer solution (pH 7.8) and 0.9% sodium chloride solution (1:17).

[0033] ​Preparation of test sample solution: take the earthworm protein peptide sample prepared in the examples of the present application, add 0.9% sodium chloride solution to dissolve and dilute to a concentration within the standard curve range.

[0034] Fibrin plate method detection process: Take 39 ml of fibrinogen solution and place it in a beaker. While stirring, add 39 ml of 55℃ agarose solution and 3 ml of thrombin solution. Mix immediately and quickly pour into a 14 cm diameter plastic culture dish. Place at room temperature horizontally for 1 hour, then punch a hole. Precisely measure 10 μl of earthworm kinase standard solution and test sample solution and place them on the same dish. Cover and place in a 37℃ constant temperature incubator for 18 hours. After removal, measure the vertical diameters of the dissolution circle with a vernier caliper.

Multiply the result by 6.25 to get the protein concentration of the test sample solution. Example 1: screening of different single proteases

[0036] Freeze the fresh earthworm and thaw it at room temperature. Wash the thawed fresh earthworm with clean water to remove mud and sticky substances. After washing, drain the excess water. Take 7 kg of washed earthworm and add purified water at a ratio of m:v=1:2 to crush and homogenize the wall for 30 minutes. Centrifuge the homogenate to collect the supernatant. Divide the supernatant into 7 groups and investigate the effects of pepsin, trypsin, neutral protease, papain, acid protease, flavor protease and bromelain on earthworm protein peptide. Add 7 kinds of proteases to the homogenate supernatant at an addition amount of 1 g / L. Adjust the pH of the enzyme solution to 2.0, 8.5, 7.0, 7.0, 3.0, 7.0 and 7.0 respectively. Adjust the enzyme solution temperature to 37℃, 37℃, 50℃, 55℃, 50℃, 50℃ and 50℃ respectively. Stir the enzyme solution for 6 hours. After enzyme hydrolysis, heat inactivate and centrifuge to obtain earthworm protein peptide extract supernatant. Treat the earthworm protein peptide extract supernatant with a 0.22 μm hollow fiber membrane. Collect the clear filtrate. Filter the clear filtrate with a 0.22 μm filter to remove bacteria. Finally, spray dry at an inlet temperature of 185℃ and an outlet temperature of 85℃ to obtain earthworm protein peptide.

[0037] Molecular exclusion method (GPC) and fibrin plate method were used to detect the average molecular weight and fibrinolytic activity of different earthworm protein peptides.

[0038] Protease species Enzymolysis pH Enzymolysis temperature (℃) Average molecular weight (Da) Fibrinolytic activity (U / mg) Pepsin 2.0 37 1657 622.30 Trypsin 8.5 37 4550 592.28 Neutral protease 7.0 50 965 572.92 Papain 7.0 55 1080 439.52 Acid protease 3.0 50 936 650.32 Flavourzyme 7.0 50 883 605.12 Bromelain 7.0 50 980 819.64 From the data of Example 1, it can be concluded that pepsin, neutral protease, papain, acid protease, flavor protease and bromelain are easy to hydrolyze earthworm protein to a lower molecular weight, mainly because pepsin, neutral protease, papain, acid protease and bromelain belong to non-specific endoprotease, flavor protease belongs to complex enzyme, which contains non-specific endoprotease and non-specific exopeptidase, and only trypsin belongs to specific endoprotease, which strictly recognizes specific amino acid sequences, has the strongest specificity, and the average molecular weight of earthworm protein peptide prepared by enzymatic hydrolysis is also the largest. In addition, non-specific protease cleaves the peptide bond between amino acids, has certain preference for amino acid hydrolysis sites, resulting in certain differences in the composition and size of amino acid hydrolysis fragments, resulting in different amino acid compositions of peptide segments and different fibrinolytic activities. At the same time, the pH value of pepsin and acid protease is too low, and more acid and alkali processing aids need to be added, which introduces inorganic salts that are not easy to remove, reducing the content of earthworm protein peptide product. Therefore, the present application selects neutral protease, papain, flavor protease and bromelain for further research. Example 2: Screening of different protease combinations

[0039] In view of the enzymatic specificity of different enzymes, the effects of one-step enzymolysis using neutral protease, papain, flavor protease and bromelain and two-step enzymolysis using specific trypsin for secondary enzymolysis were compared to prepare earthworm protein peptide, and the changes in molecular weight and fibrinolytic activity of earthworm protein peptide after stepwise enzymolysis by different enzyme combinations were investigated.

[0040] The frozen fresh leeches are thawed at room temperature, and the thawed fresh leeches are washed with clean water to remove sludge and stickiness. After washing, the leeches are drained of excess water. 6 kg of washed leeches are taken, and purified water is added to the washed leeches at a ratio of m:v = 1:2 for 30 minutes of homogenate wall breaking. The homogenate supernatant is collected by centrifugation, and the homogenate supernatant is evenly divided into 6 groups. The proteinase combinations (step-by-step enzymolysis: first neutral protease and then trypsin), (step-by-step enzymolysis: first papain and then trypsin), (step-by-step enzymolysis: first flavor protease and then trypsin), and (step-by-step enzymolysis: first bromelain and then trypsin), (one-pot enzymolysis: bromelain + trypsin), (step-by-step enzymolysis: first trypsin and then bromelain) are used to investigate the enzymolysis of leech protein. In the step-by-step enzymolysis, neutral protease, papain, flavor protease, bromelain, and trypsin are added to the homogenate supernatant at an addition amount of 1 g / L, 1 g / L, 1 g / L, 1 g / L, and 0.1 g / L, respectively, the pH of the first enzymolysis is adjusted to 7.0, 7.0, 7.0, 7.0, and 8.5, respectively, the temperature of the first enzymolysis is adjusted to 50℃, 55℃, 50℃, 50℃, and 37℃, respectively, and the stirring enzymolysis is performed for 6 hours. After the enzymolysis is completed, the first enzymolysis supernatant is obtained by heating and inactivating centrifugation. In the second enzymolysis, trypsin and bromelain are added to the different first enzymolysis supernatants in group 5 at an addition amount of 0.1 g / L and 1 g / L, respectively, the pH of the second enzymolysis is adjusted to 8.5, 8.5, 8.5, 8.5, and 7.0, respectively, the temperature of the second enzymolysis is adjusted to 37℃, 37℃, 37℃, 37℃, and 50℃, respectively, and the stirring enzymolysis is performed for 6 hours. After the enzymolysis is completed, the leech protein peptide extraction supernatant is obtained by heating and inactivating centrifugation. In addition, in the one-pot enzymolysis, bromelain and trypsin are added to the homogenate supernatant at an addition amount of 1 g / L and 0.1 g / L, respectively, the enzymolysis pH is adjusted to 7.5, the enzymolysis temperature is adjusted to 37℃, and the stirring enzymolysis is performed for 6 hours. After the enzymolysis is completed, the leech protein peptide extraction supernatant is obtained by heating and inactivating centrifugation. The 6 groups of leech protein peptide extraction supernatants are treated using a 0.22 μm hollow fiber membrane, and the leech protein peptide clear filtrate is collected. The leech protein peptide clear filtrate is filtered using a 0.22 μm filter cartridge to remove bacteria, and finally spray dried. The inlet air temperature of the spray drying is 185℃, and the outlet air temperature is 85℃. The leech protein peptide product is obtained.

[0041] The average molecular weight and fibrinolytic activity of different leech protein peptides are detected by molecular exclusion method (GPC) and fibrin plate method, respectively. Figure 3 is the standard curve of GPC molecular weight detection of the present scheme; Figure 4 is a typical spectrum of GPC molecular detection of the present scheme.

[0042] Experimental group Protease species Average molecular weight (Da) Fibrinolytic activity (U / mg) Experimental group 1 Neutral protease first, then trypsin 824 650.42 Experimental group 2 Papain first, then trypsin 852 535.12 Experimental group 3 Flavourzyme first, then trypsin 792 635.24 Experimental group 4 Bromelain first, then trypsin 832 1100.15 Experimental group 5 Trypsin first, then bromelain 865 850.46 Experimental group 6 Bromelain + trypsin one-pot method (simultaneous enzymolysis) 883 823.43

[0043] As can be seen from the data of Example 2, by stepwise enzymolysis, the average molecular weight of the leech protein peptide can be further reduced, which helps to improve the bioavailability of the leech protein peptide. As can be seen from the comparison of the fibrinolytic activity data, the leech protein peptide prepared by stepwise enzymolysis of bromelain and trypsin in experimental group 4 has the highest fibrinolytic activity. The trypsin recognizes and enzymolyzes specific amino acid sequences, and the small molecule peptides produced show stronger fibrinolytic activity. The fibrinolytic activity of the rest of experimental groups 1-3 has increased, but the increase is limited. The fibrinolytic activity of experimental group 5 and experimental group 6 is also lower than that of experimental group 4, which may be because the non-selective hydrolysis of bromelain after specific cutting changes the composition of the peptide segment, and the non-selective hydrolysis of bromelain also reduces the activity of trypsin.

[0044] Examples 3-6 further investigate the effects of different enzymolysis conditions on the average molecular weight and fibrinolytic activity of the leech protein peptide. Example 3: Fibrinolytic activity and GPC molecular weight detection 1

Example 12: Study on efficacy

[0065] The earthworm protein peptide prepared by using Example 9 was used to study its influence on carrageenan rat thrombosis.

[0066] Fifty SD rats with equivalent weight were selected, and after adaptive feeding for one week, they were randomly divided into 5 groups, 10 rats in each group, namely normal group, model control group, earthworm protein peptide low-dose group (25 mg / kg), earthworm protein peptide medium-dose group (50 mg / kg), and earthworm protein peptide high-dose group (100 mg / kg). Except for the normal control group, the rest of the groups were subcutaneously injected with 1% carrageenan (prepared with normal saline) at 50 mg / kg.bw on the back of the rats to induce thrombosis, and the environmental temperature was controlled at 17℃, and the rats were free to eat. After 24 h and 48 h of modeling, the length of the tail vein thrombus of the rats was measured with a vernier caliper, and the proportion of the rats with tail vein thrombosis was counted. The experimental results are as follows: Table Influence of earthworm protein peptide on tail vein thrombosis (x± S , n=10) Note: Compared with the model control group, *P<0.05, **P<0.01 After injection of carrageenan, some rats in each test group and the model group had different degrees of congestion and black tails. Compared with the model group, the low-dose earthworm protein peptide could significantly shorten the length of the tail vein thrombus of the rats, but did not reduce the formation rate of the tail vein thrombus of the rats. The medium-dose earthworm protein peptide and the high-dose earthworm protein peptide could both significantly shorten the average length of the tail vein thrombus of the rats after 24 h and 48 h of modeling. The high-dose group had obvious advantages in shortening the average length of the tail vein thrombus of the rats after modeling and reducing the formation rate of the tail vein thrombus, and the thrombosis formation rate was reduced by 40% and 10%, respectively. The experimental results show that the earthworm protein peptide can reduce the formation rate of thrombosis and play a thrombolytic role, and has a certain preventive effect on thrombosis.
