Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of feed technology, and in particular to a feed additive containing cellulase and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Cellulase is a complex enzyme that degrades cellulose into glucose, and it has been widely used as a feed additive in poultry and livestock farming. Among farmed poultry and livestock, only ruminants can utilize rumen microorganisms symbiotically residing in their bodies to break down and utilize cellulose, while most other farmed poultry and livestock cannot utilize cellulose, leading to indigestion, diarrhea, and other problems. Therefore, it is necessary to artificially add cellulase to enhance the digestive capacity of poultry and livestock.

[0003] Although cellulase has been added to existing poultry and livestock feed to enhance their digestive capacity, the effect of adding cellulase alone is limited. The pH of poultry and livestock stomachs is usually 2-3, which is far from the optimal pH of 5-6 for cellulase. Moreover, during daily storage, the environmental temperature and moisture can easily deactivate cellulase, thereby reducing its ability to break down cellulose.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need for a feed additive containing cellulase, in which the cellulase is stable and can promote digestion in poultry and livestock, and enhance their ability to absorb and convert feed. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of current feed additives, such as instability and easy deactivation of cellulase, as described in the background art. Here, a new feed additive containing cellulase and its preparation method are proposed. The feed additive prepared by this method is not easily deactivated and can promote the absorption and conversion of feed by poultry and livestock.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this invention to solve its technical problem is: a method for preparing a feed additive containing cellulase, the preparation method comprising the following steps:

[0007] S1. Preparation of microgel carriers:

[0008] Add 2% acetic acid aqueous solution to a reactor containing a gel matrix until the mass fraction of the gel matrix in the acetic acid aqueous solution is 4-6%. Add glutaraldehyde until the mass fraction of glutaraldehyde in the acetic acid aqueous solution is 1-2%. Heat to 40-50℃ and keep the temperature for 1-2 hours to precipitate solids. Filter, cool and dry to obtain a microgel carrier. The gel matrix is ​​a mixture of chitosan and sodium alginate.

[0009] Preparation of S2 and alginate dialdehyde:

[0010] Sodium alginate is oxidized by reacting sodium periodate to obtain dialgaldehyde;

[0011] S3. Preparation of cellulase immobilized product:

[0012] The microgel carrier was placed in a mixed enzyme solution, and glutaraldehyde was added until the mass fraction of glutaraldehyde in the mixed enzyme solution was 0.5-1%. The temperature was raised to 25-30℃ and mixed for 15-30 minutes to obtain the first mixture. The first mixture was sprayed into a calcium chloride aqueous solution, the temperature was lowered to 10-20℃, microwaved, filtered, and freeze-dried to obtain the cellulase immobilized product.

[0013] The mixed enzyme solution is a mixed aqueous solution of cellulase and alginate dialdehyde;

[0014] S4. Preparation of polyphenol cured products:

[0015] The microgel carrier was placed in a polyphenol extract solution, heated to 25-30℃, and mixed for 15-30 minutes to obtain a second mixture. The second mixture was then sprayed into a calcium chloride aqueous solution, the temperature was lowered to 10-20℃, microwaved, filtered, and freeze-dried to obtain the polyphenol solidified product.

[0016] The polyphenol extract is a mixture of green tea extract, grape extract, and onion extract;

[0017] S5, Preparation:

[0018] A feed additive containing cellulase is obtained by mixing cellulase-cured solids and polyphenol-cured solids.

[0019] In the above preparation method, chitosan-sodium alginate microgels are first prepared using chitosan and sodium alginate as raw materials. These microgels serve as a carrier, covalently binding and immobilizing subsequently added cellulase to enhance its stability. Throughout the preparation process, the microgel carrier reacts with calcium chloride to form a porous three-dimensional structure. The microgel carrier possesses carboxylic acid and primary amine functional groups, which can covalently bind to the amine functional groups on the cellulase under the influence of glyoxal, thus immobilizing the cellulase within the microgel carrier. Alglyoxal possesses carboxyl and aldehyde groups. The aldehyde groups on the alginate react with the cellulase via a Schiff base reaction, while the carboxyl groups react with calcium chloride, forming an anti-detachment layer on the microgel surface, further immobilizing the cellulase.

[0020] Preferably, in step S1, the mass ratio of chitosan to sodium alginate is 1:(1-10), and more preferably 1:5.

[0021] In the above technical solutions, both chitosan and sodium alginate can undergo ion exchange reactions with calcium chloride to form gels. Chitosan has poor acid resistance, which is not conducive to the stability of cellulase after entering poultry. However, the composite gel formed by the combination of chitosan and sodium alginate has better stability.

[0022] Preferably, step S2 is as follows: sodium alginate and sodium periodate are dissolved in water and reacted in the dark under inert gas protection for 16-20 hours.

For every 1g of sodium alginate added, the amount of sodium periodate added is 1-4g, the amount of ethylene glycol added is 0.1-1mL, the amount of sodium chloride added is 0.1-0.5g, and the amount of ethanol added is 200-300mL.

[0023] Preferably, in step S3, the mass ratio of the microgel carrier to the mixed enzyme solution is 1:(10-20), more preferably 1:15.

[0024] The volume ratio of the first mixture to the calcium chloride aqueous solution is 1:(2-3), more preferably 1:3.

[0027] Preferably, in step S4, the mass ratio of the microgel carrier to the polyphenol extract solution is 1:(10-20), more preferably 1:15.

[0028] The volume ratio of the second mixture to the calcium chloride aqueous solution is 1:2-3, more preferably 1:3.

[0029] The mass ratio of the green tea extract, grape extract, and onion extract is 1:(0.5-1):(0.5-1), more preferably 1:0.5:0.5.

[0030] The concentration of the polyphenol extract solution is 1-6 wt%, more preferably 3 wt%.

[0031] Preferably, in steps S3 and S4, the concentration of the calcium chloride aqueous solution is 1-3 wt%, more preferably 2.5 wt%.

[0032] Preferably, in step S5, the mass ratio of the cellulase-cured product to the polyphenol-cured product is (5-10):1, and more preferably 5:1.

[0033] As a preferred technical solution, a method for preparing a feed additive containing cellulase includes the following steps:

[0034] S1. Preparation of microgel carriers:

[0035] Add 2% acetic acid aqueous solution to a reactor containing a gel matrix until the mass fraction of the gel matrix in the acetic acid aqueous solution is 4-6%. Add glutaraldehyde until the mass fraction of glutaraldehyde in the acetic acid aqueous solution is 1-2%. Heat to 40-50℃ and keep the temperature for 1-2 hours to precipitate solids.

[0132] Enzyme activity assay: The cellulase-containing feed additives (10 mg) prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were placed in 1 ml of citrate-sodium citrate buffer at pH 4.8, and 50 mg of filter paper was added. The mixture was incubated at 50 °C for 1 h, and then 3 ml of DNS colorimetric solution was added. The mixture was placed in a boiling water bath for 10 min, cooled, and the absorbance was measured at 540 nm. The enzyme activity was determined by using a standard curve.

[0133] The cellulase-containing feed additives prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were placed in a citrate-sodium citrate buffer solution at pH 3.5 and allowed to stand for 12 hours. The enzyme activity of the acid-treated cellulase-containing feed additives was repeatedly tested. The specific test results are shown in Table 1. The enzyme activity without acid treatment as measured in Example 1 was used as the baseline and recorded as 100%.

[0136] As can be seen from Table 1, Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, the activity of cellulase decreased when no alginate dialdehyde was added during the preparation stage of the cellulase solidified product. This may be because the lack of alginate dialdehyde connecting the microgel and cellulase caused some cellulase to detach and become free, resulting in a significant decrease in cellulase activity after acid treatment. As can be seen from the comparison between Example 1 and Comparative Example 2, microwave mixing is beneficial to the formation of cellulase solidified product and increases the loading of cellulase on the microgel. As can be seen from Example 1 and Comparative Example 3, polyphenol solidified product is beneficial to the preservation of cellulase activity under acidic conditions.
