Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of agricultural biotechnology, and more specifically, to a synthetic organic nutrient solution based on small peptides derived from animal keratin cleavage. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of organic agriculture, traditional chemical fertilizers are increasingly restricted due to their environmental pollution, soil compaction, and declining quality of agricultural products. Developing highly efficient and environmentally friendly biostimulants has become an important direction for global agricultural technology. Animal keratin, a waste resource from the slaughtering and leather industries, has a global annual production exceeding ten million tons. Its rich cysteine content (12%-18%) and hydrophobic amino acids constitute a unique molecular structure, theoretically capable of being converted into high-value small peptide nutrient solutions. However, due to the highly cross-linked disulfide network and stable helical conformation of keratin, conventional hydrolysis techniques struggle to achieve targeted cleavage, leading to problems such as uncontrollable active ingredients and low plant absorption rates in existing animal protein fertilizers. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a keratin resource utilization solution based on enzyme engineering and molecular screening technologies to convert waste keratin into small peptide nutrient preparations with defined molecular weight ranges and biological functions, thus solving agricultural pollution problems while achieving high-value utilization of waste resources.
[0003] Current keratin resource utilization technologies face three major bottlenecks: First, while chemical hydrolysis (such as the strong alkali and high-temperature treatment used in patent CN108424276A) can break disulfide bonds, it leads to amino acid racemization and the production of toxic substances. The resulting product has a molecular weight >5000 Da, and the plant absorption rate is less than 15%. Second, single enzymatic hydrolysis processes (such as the use of keratinase in patent JP2020152000A) cannot completely deconstruct the keratin crystal domains, resulting in a hydrolysis degree of only 40%-60%, and the proportion of functional small peptides in the product is <30%. Third, there are design flaws in the end products. Existing protein fertilizers often directly mix inorganic nutrients (such as CN112159329A), lacking a chelation stabilization system. Metal ions combine with small peptides to produce precipitation, reducing bioavailability by more than 40%. More importantly, existing technologies have not established a molecular weight-bioactivity correlation mechanism, have not identified characteristic growth-promoting peptides (such as KVLPVP), and cannot achieve precise regulation of crop physiological responses.
[0004] Therefore, a synthetic organic nutrient solution based on animal keratin cleavage peptides is proposed to address the above problems. Summary of the Invention
