Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of fermentation complex, in particular to a complex for promoting GLP-1 secretion, a fermentation preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a gut-secreted incretin hormone that plays a key role in maintaining blood glucose homeostasis and controlling appetite. GLP-1 can promote insulin secretion, inhibit glucagon release, delay gastric emptying and act on the central nervous system to produce satiety, and has important significance for the prevention and treatment of type II diabetes and obesity. Currently, GLP-1 receptor agonist drugs are used in the clinic for the treatment of diabetes and weight loss, but such drugs are expensive and require injection, and patient compliance is poor. Therefore, developing nutritional interventions that can promote endogenous GLP-1 secretion in vivo has become a research hotspot.

[0003] Many traditional plant extracts have been found to have the effects of reducing blood sugar and controlling weight. For example, mulberry leaves, as a commonly used Chinese herbal medicine, are recorded in "Compendium of Materia Medica" as being able to "treat diabetes". Modern pharmacological studies have confirmed that mulberry leaves contain active ingredients such as flavonoids and alkaloids, which can inhibit small intestinal disaccharidase activity, reduce glucose absorption, and stimulate small intestinal L cell secretion of GLP-1, thereby synergistically lowering blood sugar through multiple pathways. Among them, 1-deoxynojirimycin (1-DNJ) in mulberry leaves is a potent alpha-glucosidase inhibitor and has also been shown to exert a hypoglycemic effect through the GLP-1 pathway. However, there are significant limitations in the utilization of active ingredients in mulberry leaves: flavonoids such as rutin and quercetin have poor water solubility and are difficult to absorb, resulting in low oral bioavailability; while mulberry leaf 1-DNJ is easily soluble in water but has a very short half-life in the human body, making it difficult to maintain a sustained hypoglycemic effect. In addition, the content of 1-DNJ in mulberry leaves is low, and the extraction and utilization efficiency is limited; these factors often result in actual efficacy of traditional mulberry leaf extracts that is not as expected, and special processes are needed to improve the content and stability of active ingredients.

[0004] In addition to mulberry leaves, other plant-derived ingredients also have their own effects in assisting in blood sugar control and weight loss. Although each plant ingredient has the potential to lower blood sugar or reduce weight, direct and simple mixing of them often has limited effect; some existing technologies attempt to improve the performance of plant extracts through inclusion, nano-carriers, etc., but still have the disadvantages of complex process, high cost, or only targeting a single ingredient.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide an innovative composition and process that can organically integrate multiple plant active ingredients, improve the content and stability of key ingredients, and achieve the effect of synergistic blood sugar control and weight loss through multiple pathways. SUMMARY

[0006] The present application aims to provide a complex for promoting GLP-1 secretion, a fermentation preparation method and application thereof, and overcomes the technical problems of low activity, poor stability, low bioavailability and poor compatibility synergy of plant extracts in regulating blood sugar and weight in the prior art, and provides a plant-derived complex for promoting GLP-1 secretion and a fermentation preparation method thereof, and the complex is applied to a sugar-controlling and weight-reducing preparation.

[0007] The specific technical scheme is as follows:

[0008] A complex for promoting GLP-1 secretion, comprising the following components in mass percentage: 40-45% of fermented mulberry leaf powder, 25-30% of soybean oligosaccharide, 15-20% of kaempferia galantha root extract, 8-12% of birch juice concentrate, and 5-8% of white kidney bean extract; and each component is mixed and then embedded by microcapsules.

[0009] Further, the fermented mulberry leaf powder is obtained by inoculating mixed bacteria of Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Bifidobacterium adolescentis and Clostridium butyricum on mulberry leaves as raw materials for solid-state fermentation for 72 hours, and then refined by multi-stage directional enzymolysis and membrane separation.

[0010] Further, the soybean oligosaccharide mainly comprises mixed oligosaccharides of stachyose and raffinose, which is prepared by ultrasonic-assisted water extraction and step-by-step ethanol precipitation of defatted soybean powder, and then desalted by nanofiltration and purified by low-temperature crystallization.

[0011] Further, the kaempferia galantha root extract is prepared by supercritical CO2 extraction technology, and is rich in volatile oil and flavonoid active ingredients.

[0012] Further, the embedding by microcapsules is to embed the complex by sodium alginate and chitosan as wall materials to form microcapsules, and further add 5wt% of inulin as a glass transition carrier in the microcapsules to improve the glass transition temperature of the microcapsule wall, improve the stability of the active ingredients, and further add 0.05wt% of rosemary acid and 0.02wt% of alpha-tocopherol as antioxidant protective agents.

[0015] S2: Add deionized water to the defatted soybean powder, and extract with ultrasonic waves under the condition of water bath at 25°C. After completion, filter and add anhydrous ethanol to the extract to a solution ethanol volume fraction of 30%, stand for 1 hour, centrifuge to remove the precipitate, and then add anhydrous ethanol to the supernatant to a final concentration of 60%. After standing overnight at 4°C, centrifuge to collect the precipitate, dissolve the precipitate in pure water and transfer it into a dialysis bag, and desalt by nanofiltration with a membrane with a molecular weight cutoff of 500 Da. Stop dialysis when the dialysate has no reducing sugar reaction. Concentrate the dialysate and stand at 4°C for 24 hours to crystallize. Filter out the crystals and vacuum dry to obtain soybean oligosaccharides.

[0016] S3: Crush the sliced kaempferia galanga rhizome and place it in a supercritical CO2 extraction device. Adjust the pressure and temperature for extraction, which lasts for 2 hours. Collect the product every 15 minutes during the extraction process and combine the products. After the first extraction is complete, add 10% volume fraction of ethanol and continue the extraction at 28 MPa and 38°C for 1 hour. Finally, mix the two extracts together to obtain the kaempferia galanga rhizome extract.

[0017] S4: Mix the fermented mulberry leaf extract obtained in S1, the soybean oligosaccharides obtained in S2, the kaempferia extract obtained in S3, commercially available white birch juice freeze-dried powder, and commercially available white kidney bean extract powder. Dissolve in pure water and stir to form a mixed solution. Add the mixed solution to a sodium alginate solution and stir to form a suspension. Add inulin, rosemary acid, and alpha-tocopherol during stirring. Then perform high-voltage electrostatic spraying on the suspension. After completion, stand for 30 minutes to solidify. Filter out the solidified gel beads and place them in a chitosan solution. Stir for 15 minutes, filter and rinse to obtain wet microcapsules. Transfer to a freeze dryer, pre-freeze at -50°C for 2 hours, and then sublimate dry for 24 hours to obtain the compound preparation.

[0018] Further, the mixed bacterial strains of S1 have a mass ratio of Lactobacillus rhamnosus:Bifidobacterium adolescentis:Clostridium butyricum = 6:2:1.

[0019] Further, the temperature and relative humidity for fermentation culture in S1 are specifically set as follows: fermentation temperature 33-37°C, relative humidity 68-72%.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the application has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] (1) The application significantly improves the content and easy absorbability of active ingredients in mulberry leaves through fermentation and directional enzymolysis, so that the potential of mulberry leaves for reducing blood sugar is fully exerted; the high-content prebiotic intake is ensured through the purification process of soybean oligosaccharides, so that the production of short-chain fatty acids by intestinal flora is promoted and GLP-1 secretion is enhanced; the introduction of kaempferia extract provides a different pathway for reducing blood sugar than flavonoids in mulberry leaves; white kidney bean extract blocks the absorption of carbohydrates, so that more undigested carbohydrates reach the ileum and colon to stimulate L cells to release GLP-1, and the absorption of heat is reduced; white birch juice has anti-inflammatory effects, is rich in nutrients, and improves the taste.

[0024] (2) The components in the application produce a multi-target synergistic effect through scientific proportioning: on the one hand, the absorption of carbohydrates is inhibited, and blood sugar production is reduced; on the other hand, endogenous hormone secretion is promoted, and the utilization of glucose by the body is improved, so that blood sugar is regulated from the source and the end.

[0025] (3) The application uses a microcapsule embedding and antioxidant protection technical solution to stably release active ingredients in the gastrointestinal environment, and the bioavailability is obviously improved. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0034] The following examples further explain and illustrate the technical solutions of the present application. It is particularly pointed out that each specific embodiment is a specific embodiment and explanation of the technical solutions, and should not be regarded as a limitation on the protection scope of the present application. Those skilled in the art still have the right to modify the technical solutions of these examples, to equivalently replace part or all of the technical features, and these modifications or replacements do not change the essence of the corresponding technical solutions, and do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions described in the present application.

[0035] The present application proposes a compound for promoting the secretion of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), a fermentation preparation method and its application, as shown in the accompanying Figure 1 The preparation flow chart of the compound for promoting the secretion of GLP-1 of the present application is as follows, the preparation of the compound of the present application includes fermentation of mulberry leaf powder preparation, soybean oligosaccharide extraction and purification, preparation of kaempferia extract, and composite mixing and microcapsule embedding, the specific technical solution design and general preparation process are as follows:

[0036] 1. Plant source component system construction

[0037] The compound of the present application is composed of multiple medicinal and edible plant ingredients, including main material fermented mulberry leaf powder, synergistic material soybean oligosaccharide and kaempferia galanga rhizome extract, auxiliary material white birch juice concentrate and white kidney bean extract. Each component is in the following mass percentage: fermented mulberry leaf powder 40-45%, soybean oligosaccharide 25-30%, kaempferia galanga rhizome extract 15-20%, white birch juice concentrate 8-12%, and white kidney bean extract 5-8%. Each component plays a corresponding role and can have synergistic effect: the fermented mulberry leaf powder provides the main hypoglycemic component 1-deoxynojirimycin (1-DNJ) and high-activity flavonoids, the white kidney bean extract blocks starch absorption to reduce blood glucose production, the soybean oligosaccharide acts as a prebiotic to promote GLP-1 release, the kaempferia galanga extract enhances insulin sensitivity and assists in reducing blood glucose, and the white birch juice supplies trace nutrients and has antioxidant effect. After the multiple components are compounded, they maintain blood glucose balance and reduce fat accumulation through different mechanisms.

[0038] 2. Plant components are extracted respectively

[0039] (1) Preparation of main material fermented mulberry leaf powder: The mulberry leaves are treated by probiotic fermentation coupled with multi-stage enzymolysis to improve the content and accessibility of active ingredients. First, the mulberry leaf powder is inoculated with a specific proportion of complex probiotic strains and subjected to solid-state fermentation under suitable temperature and humidity. During the fermentation process, the β-glucosidase produced by the microorganisms can convert flavonoid aglycone precursors in the mulberry leaves into free flavonoid aglycones, increasing the content of effective components such as quercetin by 1-1.5 times. At the same time, the fermentation products are rich in vitamins and organic acids produced by microbial metabolism, which helps to improve the nutritional value. Then, the fermented mulberry leaf material is subjected to multi-stage directional enzymolysis: egg white lysozyme is added to lyse the cell wall and release water-soluble components such as 1-DNJ in the cells, increasing the extraction rate of 1-DNJ; natto kinase is then added to degrade plant residual proteins into easily absorbed small peptides; subsequently, papain is added to decompose fiber impurities and reduce the viscosity of the sample. After the above-mentioned step-by-step enzymolysis treatment, the clarity and active substance content of the mulberry leaf fermentation broth can be greatly improved. Finally, the enzymolysis liquid is filtered through a screen to remove undissolved substances, and an ultrafiltration membrane is used to separate and enrich the target product. The macromolecular impurities in the retentate are removed, and the permeate contains the main active small molecular components. Finally, the permeate is spray dried to obtain refined fermented mulberry leaf powder, in which the mulberry alkaloid 1-DNJ is highly preserved. Compared with the mulberry leaf powder without the above-mentioned fermentation and enzymolysis treatment, the method of the present application makes the active ingredients in the mulberry leaves more enriched and easily absorbed, and fully realizes the hypoglycemic potential of the mulberry leaves.

[0040] (2) Synergistic material soybean oligosaccharide extraction and purification: ultrasonic-assisted extraction combined with gradient alcohol precipitation process is used to efficiently obtain soybean oligosaccharide. Specifically, defatted soybean powder is added into deionized water at a ratio of 1:5, and the soybean powder is treated under the action of ultrasonic waves, which significantly improves the leaching rate of oligosaccharide; the extract is first added with ethanol to a volume fraction of 30%, and high-molecular polysaccharide impurities are precipitated and removed; the supernatant is then added with anhydrous ethanol to a volume fraction of 60%, at which time the main target oligosaccharide is selectively precipitated, in which the oligosaccharide is mainly composed of raffinose and stachyose with a molecular weight of about 500; the second precipitate is dissolved in a small amount of pure water, and then the impurities such as monosaccharide and inorganic salt are removed through nanofiltration membrane to obtain a purified oligosaccharide solution. The oligosaccharide concentrate is placed at 4°C for 24 hours to crystallize, and needle-shaped crystals are precipitated, which are then filtered and dried to obtain high-purity soybean oligosaccharide powder.

[0041] (3) Synergistic material Kaempferia galanga rhizome extract preparation: supercritical CO2 extraction technology is used to obtain active essence from Kaempferia galanga rhizome. Dry Kaempferia galanga rhizome powder is placed in a supercritical extraction device, and CO2 fluid is passed through for extraction. On the one hand, volatile oil components of Kaempferia galanga are obtained, and on the other hand, part of the polar flavonoids such as kaempferol and quercetin can also be carried out under high pressure. After the extraction is completed, the oil or resin-like extract obtained by separation under reduced pressure is the Kaempferia galanga rhizome extract. This method has no organic solvent residue, and the product purity and biological activity are significantly better than those of traditional solvent reflux extraction.

[0042] (4) Auxiliary material extraction and preparation: birch sap concentrate preparation, fresh birch sap is collected, sterilized by 0.22 μm microfiltration, and concentrated to 1 / 5-1 / 10 of the original volume under vacuum and low temperature conditions to obtain birch sap concentrate; the present application uses commercially available birch sap cold-dried powder as a substitute, and the birch sap concentrate mainly provides trace nutrients and synergistic active substances, which can be directly used for subsequent mixing. White kidney bean extract preparation, white kidney bean extract can be obtained by water extraction and alcohol precipitation, preferably, commercially available white kidney bean extract powder with high content of α-amylase inhibitor is used, and the effective ingredient phase amylase content is ≥20%; in the present application, the white kidney bean extract is added as an auxiliary functional ingredient to block carbohydrates.

[0043] 3. Mixing and stabilization of the complex

[0044] The fermented mulberry leaf powder, soy oligosaccharide, kaempferol extract, birch juice concentrate and white kidney bean extract prepared above are mixed according to a pre-designed ratio to obtain an extract mixture. The mixture is further treated by using a microcapsule embedding technique to improve the stability and controlled release performance. Specifically, sodium alginate is used as a capsule material to prepare a 2% concentration solution, and chitosan is used as a complex capsule material to prepare a 1% concentration solution; the mixture powder is dissolved and dispersed in the sodium alginate solution to form a uniform suspension, and then the suspension is atomized and dropped into a solidification bath containing calcium chloride through an electrostatic spraying device to form gel microbeads instantaneously; then the microbeads are transferred to the chitosan solution to coat a second layer of film, forming microcapsules with a core-shell structure; the microcapsules are centrifuged and washed to remove surface salt, and then freeze-dried or spray-dried to obtain microcapsule powder with good fluidity. Preferably, when preparing the wall material solution, 5% of the total mass of the extract mixture is added to the inulin, which is used to improve the glass transition temperature of the microcapsule wall by using its glassy properties, so that the structure can still be stable at a higher temperature, reducing the leakage of active ingredients during storage; at the same time, 0.05wt% of rosemary acid and 0.02wt% of α-tocopherol are added as antioxidants, which can effectively inhibit the oxidative degradation of plant extracts during processing and storage.

To enhance detection sensitivity, an appropriate amount of the extraction solution is subjected to column pre-derivation with 6-aminoquinolyl-N-hydroxysuccinimidyl carbamate (AQC) reagent in a pH 8.5 boric acid buffer. The derived solution is filtered through a 0.45 μm filter membrane for HPLC analysis.

[0090] For total flavonoid determination, the sample is weighed and ultrasonically extracted with 70% ethanol solution to extract total flavonoid components. The extraction solution is filtered and made up to volume, and the extraction solution is added with 2 mol / L concentrated hydrochloric acid and placed in a water bath at 80°C for 1 hour to convert flavonoid glycosides to free flavonoid aglycones. The hydrolysis solution is extracted with an equal volume of ethyl acetate, and the organic phase is collected and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue is dissolved in methanol and made up to volume, and then filtered through a 0.45 μm filter membrane for testing.

[0091] (3) HPLC chromatographic conditions: Due to the differences in the properties of DNJ and flavonoids, HPLC detection methods are established respectively, with the specific conditions shown in Table 2:

[0097] (3) The HPLC chromatographic conditions are shown in Table 3:

[0103] For total flavonoid determination, the extract was taken and 50% ethanol solution was added to extract flavonoids by heating and refluxing, insoluble matter was filtered out, the filtrate was added to 2 mol / L concentrated hydrochloric acid, hydrolyzed at 80°C water bath for 1 hour to hydrolyze flavonoid glycosides to free flavonoid aglycone, after cooling, the flavonoid aglycone was extracted with ethyl acetate, the organic phase residue was evaporated to dryness and dissolved in methanol, filtered through a 0.45 μm filter membrane and then subjected to HPLC determination.

[0104] (3) The HPLC chromatographic conditions are shown in Table 4:

[0105] Table 4 HPLC chromatographic conditions of kaempferia galanga rhizome extract

[0106]

[0107] The test results are shown in Figures 4, 5 and 6, which are data optimization charts of test results, and the peak position and peak shape of the target substance can be clearly shown, and the content of the key target substance is calculated based on 100 g of fermented mulberry leaf extract powder, high purity soybean oligosaccharide crystal and kaempferia galanga rhizome extract, and the statistics are shown in Table 5: Figure 2 , 3 ,

[0108] Table 5 Content statistics of key targets

[0109]

[0110]

[0111] In combination with the charts, the contents of the key effective components contained in the fermented mulberry leaf extract powder, high-purity soybean oligosaccharide crystals and kaempferia galanga extract extracted by the method of the present application are higher, and the extraction efficiency of the key effective components is increased by 1.5-2 times compared with the traditional extraction and purification method.

[0112] Experimental Example 2

[0113] The final compound preparations obtained in Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 were respectively tested for in-vitro release effect in simulated gastric juice and intestinal juice, and the reference release substance was soybean oligosaccharide (the total of raffinose and stachyose), and the content was tested by the same method as in Experimental Example 1. The artificial gastric juice and artificial intestinal juice were prepared according to the provisions in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia, and the specific preparation was as follows:

[0114] Preparation of artificial gastric juice: 234 mL of concentrated hydrochloric acid was diluted to 1000 mL to obtain solution A. Then, 16.4 mL of solution A was diluted to 1000 mL to obtain solution B. 100 mg of pepsin was diluted with solution B to a final concentration of 4 g / L to obtain the gastric juice;

[0115] Preparation of artificial intestinal juice: 1.36 g of potassium dihydrogen phosphate was weighed into 100 mL of distilled water, and the pH value was adjusted to 6.8 using 0.2 mol / L NaOH solution for standby use. 1 g of trypsin was placed in a 100 mL volumetric flask, and the volume was adjusted with the above standby solution and shaken well;

[0116] Release effect test in artificial gastric juice: 0.1 g of sample was placed in 100 mL of simulated gastric juice, and the reaction was carried out at 37°C. Every half hour, 1 mL was taken out and diluted to 100 mL, and the total content of soybean oligosaccharide in the gastric juice was tested using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) instrument, and the cumulative release amount was calculated. The cumulative release time was set to 2 hours, and every half hour was set as a sampling point. Note that after each time, an equal amount of simulated gastric juice of the same concentration was supplemented. The release effect test conditions in the intestinal juice were basically the same as those in the gastric juice, except that the artificial gastric juice was replaced by artificial intestinal juice, and the cumulative release time was 12 hours, and the sampling points were 3 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, 8 hours, 10 hours and 12 hours.

[0117] The release effect test results in artificial gastric juice are shown in Table 6, and the release effect test results in artificial intestinal juice are shown in Table 7.

[0118] Table 6 Comparison table of release effect determination results in artificial gastric juice of experimental example 2

[0119]

[0120] Table 7 Comparison table of release effect determination results in artificial intestinal juice of experimental example 2

[0121]

[0122] From the above results, it can be seen that in the release effect determination in artificial gastric juice, example 1 maintains a low release amount, and in the artificial intestinal juice, it is released in stages and in an appropriate amount, which meets the purpose of structural design; by contrast, comparative example 2 is not microencapsulated, has no protection in the artificial gastric juice stage, and cannot achieve protection in the gastric juice and appropriate long-acting sustained release in the intestinal juice.

[0123] Experimental example 3

[0124] The final compound preparations obtained from examples 1 and comparative example 2 were subjected to accelerated stability experiments, specifically, the compound preparations were placed in an accelerated stability test box (1x1x1m) at 40°C and a relative humidity of 65% for 30 days, and the residual rate of DNJ was determined. The test method of DNJ was the same as that in experimental example 1, and the test results are shown in Table 8.

[0125] Table 8 Comparison table of accelerated stability experiment results of experimental example 3

[0126]

[0127] From the above results, it can be seen that example 1 has a physical oxygen / humidity barrier of sodium alginate-chitosan microcapsules, and a double antioxidant barrier of rosmarinic acid and α-tocopherol synergistically providing, directly inhibiting the oxidation of DNJ; by contrast, comparative example 2 is not microencapsulated, and the active ingredients are easily lost.

[0128] Experimental example 4

[0129] The final preparations obtained from examples 1-7 and comparative examples 1-3 were subjected to animal model pharmacodynamics experiments for comparison, and the specific experimental process design is as follows:

[0130] The experimental animals were derived from Sanye (Suzhou) Biotechnology Co., Ltd., license number: SCXK (Su) 2025-0008. The test design is as follows:

[0131] 120 healthy male rats were selected and randomly divided into 15 groups, 8 rats in each group; among them, the normal control group was fed with ordinary feed without any treatment; the rest groups were fed with high-fat and high-sugar feed for 4 weeks to establish a metabolic syndrome model, and after the model was successfully established, the groups were intervened for 8 weeks: the model control group was given the same volume of normal saline by gavage; the rest groups were given the preparation by gavage, and the daily dose was equivalent to 500 mg / kg of body weight of the total amount of active ingredients, and the above gavage was once a day; during the whole intervention period, the animals in each group were normally fed, the body weight change was recorded, 24 hours after the last administration, after fasting for 12 hours, glucose solution 2 g / kg was given by gavage to simulate postprandial feeding, blood was collected from the tail vein 30 minutes after gavage, the plasma GLP-1 concentration was determined by ELISA method, and the fasting and 2-hour postprandial blood glucose values were determined, and the specific parameter settings are shown in Table 9.

[0132] Table 9 Specific parameter setting table of animal model pharmacodynamics experiment of experimental example 4

[0133]

[0134]

[0135] The experimental results are shown in Tables 10, Appendix Figure 7 and Appendix Figure 8 .

[0136] Table 10 Comparison table of animal model pharmacodynamics experiment results of experimental example 4

[0137]

[0138]

[0139] It can be seen from the chart results that Example 1 improves insulin sensitivity significantly, and GLP-1 secretion is restored to near normal level; Example 2 protects heat-sensitive DNJ by low-temperature fermentation, but the insufficient generation of fermentation metabolites leads to weakened prebiotic effect; Example 3 degrades flavonoids in mulberry leaves due to slightly high fermentation temperature, which weakens the antioxidant chain and reduces blood glucose control ability; Example 4 strengthens anti-inflammatory effect by strengthening betulin, which improves insulin resistance in adipose tissue; Example 5 has low white kidney bean extract, and the insufficient α-amylase inhibitor leads to postprandial hyperglycemia; Example 6 has high soybean oligosaccharides, and the prebiotic effect promotes the colonization of bifidobacterium, but the lack of anti-inflammatory components makes the overall effect slightly weak; Example 7 has high kaempferol extract, and kaempferol activates the PPARγ pathway, which significantly promotes lipid oxidation and blood glucose regulation. Compared with the above, Comparative Example 1 is not fermented mulberry leaves, which lacks active DNJ converted by fermentation, and the bioavailability is reduced by 50%, and the efficacy is lost; Comparative Example 2 is not embedded powder, and the gastric acid destroys probiotics and peptides, and the failure of sustained release leads to inactivation of components; Comparative Example 3A lacks soybean oligosaccharides, and the lack of prebiotics leads to the failure of probiotic colonization, and the stimulation of GLP-1 secretion is interrupted; Comparative Example 3B lacks kaempferol extract, which breaks the antioxidant chain and blocks the activation of the insulin signaling pathway; Comparative Example 3C lacks white birch juice, which weakens the anti-inflammatory effect and exacerbates insulin resistance; Comparative Example 3D lacks white kidney bean extract, and the lack of α-amylase inhibitor leads to postprandial hyperglycemia, and high blood glucose toxicity damages L cells. From the above results, it can be seen that microencapsulation is necessary, and the lack of any core component leads to the failure of metabolic improvement.
