Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of condiment technology, and in particular to a method for preparing a high-umami base material based on high-protein raw materials. Background Technology

[0002] High-protein raw materials, such as wheat or soy protein with a protein content greater than 60%, produce fermentation products rich in beneficial nutrients like amino acids and short peptides. In the condiment industry, high-protein raw materials are generally used to produce umami substances such as glutamic acid. High-protein raw materials can typically be enzymatically hydrolyzed using various enzymes to produce free amino acids. CN104263794A directly uses a protease to decompose gluten powder, employing ultrasound assistance and various enzyme treatments including aerobic and anaerobic fermentation to obtain high-protein active peptides, which requires a high-quality production environment. CN103667408A uses continuous enzymatic hydrolysis membrane separation coupling technology to prepare wheat oligopeptides, but the process is complex, using ultrasound assistance, resulting in a long production cycle and numerous processing methods. Currently, enzymatic hydrolysis methods are relatively limited, with long hydrolysis times, low efficiency, and incomplete utilization of high-protein raw materials, failing to fully realize their value.

[0003] The inherent characteristics of high-protein raw materials make them difficult to process. When these materials come into contact with water, they easily absorb water and swell, resulting in poor water solubility and hydrophobicity, which also contributes to processing difficulties. Untreated high-protein raw materials are not completely hydrolyzed under the action of various enzymes. Direct enzymatic hydrolysis of high-protein raw materials is inefficient, failing to generate more amino acids and easily leading to waste. Therefore, pretreatment of high-protein raw materials is necessary before utilization. Generally, high-protein raw materials are pre-treated during enzymatic hydrolysis or fermentation to modify their inherent characteristics and effectively improve their hydrolysis efficiency. Common treatment methods can be divided into physical and chemical methods to reduce the difficulty of enzymatic hydrolysis. Heat treatment and puffing are superior to chemical methods, as they do not introduce chemical substances and are relatively safer. For example, CN108125015A describes a method for efficiently preparing wheat oligopeptides, which involves mixing gluten powder with water, puffing it using a twin-screw extruder, and then using various enzyme preparations to prepare wheat oligopeptides. This method mainly involves puffing high-protein raw materials and then enzymatically hydrolyzing them to obtain wheat oligopeptides, but selecting a large number of enzyme combinations is quite complicated. CN117265031A modifies and puffs gluten powder, uses Aspergillus oryzae to make koji, and employs various compound enzymatic hydrolysis and long-term fermentation methods. However, the enzymatic hydrolysis time is relatively short and insufficient, the fermentation time is long, and the energy consumption is high.

[0004] Current pretreatment methods cannot completely and effectively improve enzymatic hydrolysis efficiency. Therefore, in the condiment industry, there is still a need for a method that can effectively utilize high-protein raw materials to prepare high-umami base materials. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the technical problems of low utilization rate, poor enzymatic hydrolysis effect, ineffective generation of free amino acids, and low yield of umami substances from direct enzymatic hydrolysis of high-protein raw materials, this application aims to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art by providing a method for preparing a high-umami base material based on high-protein raw materials. The high-protein raw materials undergo puffing treatment, followed by the addition of enzymes during the koji-making process to induce Aspergillus oryzae to produce more enzymes, which initially decompose large-molecule proteins. The high-umami base material is then obtained through fermentation and enzymatic hydrolysis. The method of this application has high enzymatic hydrolysis efficiency, high utilization rate of high-protein raw materials, and a large amount of umami substances generated.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted in this application is as follows:

[0007] This application provides a method for preparing a high-freshness base material based on high-protein raw materials, including the following steps:

[0008] S1. High-protein raw materials are puffed to obtain puffed high-protein raw material;

[0009] S2. Wet the puffed high-protein raw material with water, then preheat it with steam, and then cool and dry it.

[0010] S3. Inoculate Aspergillus oryzae and Aspergillus oryzae protease into the high-protein raw material that has undergone step S2, and make koji to obtain koji material;

[0011] S4. Mix the starter culture and edible brine evenly and ferment to obtain a high-freshness base material.

[0012] The inherent characteristics of high-protein raw materials make them difficult to process. Their poor water solubility and hydrophobicity upon contact with water also contribute to processing difficulties. Furthermore, untreated high-protein raw materials are not completely hydrolyzed by various enzymes, and direct enzymatic hydrolysis of high-protein raw materials is inefficient, failing to generate sufficient amino acids and easily leading to waste.

[0013] Through extensive research and experimentation, the inventors of this application discovered that the high-protein raw materials undergo puffing pretreatment. After wet puffing, the high-protein raw materials are subjected to high-temperature puffing treatment, which effectively reduces the aggregation of protein networks. After protein denaturation, the viscosity decreases significantly. After high-temperature steam treatment, the viscosity is further reduced, while the humidity of the puffed high-protein raw materials is increased. At the same time, Aspergillus oryzae protease is added during koji making to decompose and utilize proteins, enhance the enzyme activity of the koji, and produce more enzymes. The high-protein raw materials are initially utilized during koji making.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of the method for preparing high-freshness base material based on high-protein raw materials described in this application, the puffing conditions in step S1 include: conditioning temperature of 90-100℃, feeding frequency of 10-13Hz, and steam pressure of 0.02-0.025MPa.

[0015] This application pre-treats high-protein raw materials by puffing, decomposing the high-protein raw materials for reuse, changing the original network structure of the high-protein raw materials, reducing the structural strength, reducing viscosity after contact with water, and also modifying other proteins at high temperatures, making them easier to be utilized and decomposed by enzymes during enzymatic hydrolysis, thus solving the problem of sticky materials during koji making.

[0019] As a preferred embodiment of the method for preparing high-freshness base material based on high-protein raw materials described in this application, the steam preheating conditions in step S2 include: pressure of 0.15-0.2 MPa, steam temperature of 110-130°C, and preheating time of 30-45 min.

[0020] The cooling and drying conditions include: a cooling and drying temperature of 35°C and a cooling and drying time of 15 to 20 minutes.

[0023] The amount of Aspergillus oryzae protease added is 0.02% to 0.08% of the weight of the high-protein raw material after step S2.

[0024] This application uses the aforementioned Aspergillus oryzae protease, which can improve the enzyme activity of the koji while decomposing high-protein raw materials, thus producing more enzymes.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment of the method for preparing high-freshness base material based on high-protein raw materials described in this application, step S3 includes the following conditions for koji preparation:

[0026] The koji-making temperature is 30–40℃, the relative humidity is 85–90%, and the incubation time is 40–48 hours.

[0027] This application provides sufficient moisture for the growth of Aspergillus oryzae during koji making, and the protease added during koji making can improve the efficiency of decomposing large protein molecules, so that Aspergillus oryzae can be fully utilized to generate more enzyme systems. During enzymatic hydrolysis, after the initial decomposition by the Aspergillus oryzae enzyme system, plus the enzymatic hydrolysis of the hydrolysate, the addition of mixed enzyme systems during the enzymatic hydrolysis process makes the decomposition more complete, which can produce more free amino acids, short peptides, etc., especially umami substances mainly composed of glutamic acid and aspartic acid.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment of the method for preparing high-freshness base material based on high-protein raw materials described in this application, step S4 further includes the addition of an enzymatic hydrolysate.

[0029] The enzymatic hydrolysate contains at least one of glutaminase, glutamine endopeptidase, and complex protease.

[0030] The preparation method of this application adds an enzymatic hydrolysate to make full use of the protein in the raw materials, which can produce more free amino acids, short peptides, etc., especially umami substances mainly composed of glutamic acid and aspartic acid.

[0031] As a preferred embodiment of the method for preparing high-freshness base material based on high-protein raw materials described in this application, the enzymatic hydrolysate contains glutaminase, glutamine endopeptidase and complex protease;

[0032] The addition ratios of glutaminase, glutamine endopeptidase, and complex protease are (0-0.2%): (0-0.3%): (0-0.4%) of the high-protein raw material, respectively. The glutaminase, glutamine endopeptidase, and complex protease are mixed and dissolved in distilled water to form an enzymatic hydrolysate.

[0033] Preferably, the complex protease includes a neutral protease and an alkaline protease.

[0034] More preferably, the neutral protease includes papain.

[0035] The addition of the above-mentioned enzymatic hydrolysate in this application can fully decompose high-protein raw materials, greatly improve fermentation efficiency, shorten fermentation time, and enhance the formation of umami amino acids such as glutamic acid.

[0037] And / or, the fermentation temperature is 30–45°C, and the fermentation cycle is 10–30 days.

[0038] This application also provides a high-freshness base material prepared by the above method.

[0039] The above method can be used to obtain a high-umami base material that can efficiently produce umami amino acids and has a high glutamic acid content.

[0040] Compared with the prior art, this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0041] This application provides a method for preparing a high-umami base material based on high-protein raw materials. The high-protein raw materials are pretreated by wet puffing. High-temperature puffing of the high-protein raw materials can effectively reduce the aggregation of protein networks. After protein denaturation, the viscosity decreases significantly. After high-temperature steam treatment, the viscosity is further reduced, and the humidity of the puffed high-protein raw materials is increased. Sufficient moisture is provided for the growth of Aspergillus oryzae during koji making, and the protease added during koji making can improve the efficiency of decomposing large protein molecules, so that Aspergillus oryzae can be fully utilized to generate more enzyme systems. During enzymatic hydrolysis, the initial decomposition by the Aspergillus oryzae enzyme system, plus the enzymatic hydrolysis of the hydrolysate, and the addition of mixed enzyme systems during the enzymatic hydrolysis process, make the decomposition more complete, which can produce more free amino acids, short peptides, etc., especially umami substances mainly composed of glutamic acid and aspartic acid.

[0093] Compared with Example 1, the difference in Comparative Example 4 is that the high-protein raw material is not puffed, while the rest of the preparation method is the same as in Example 1.

[0094] Experimental Example 1

[0095] The contents of total nitrogen, ammonia nitrogen, and glutamic acid in the high-freshness base materials prepared in Examples 1-12 and Comparative Examples 1-4 were determined using the methods ZBX66026-1987, GB5009.235-2016, and QB / T5713-2022, respectively, as shown in Table 1.

[0096] Table 1

[0097]

[0098]

[0099] As shown in Table 1, the methods for preparing high-umami base materials based on high-protein raw materials provided in Examples 1-12 involve puffing the high-protein raw materials, resulting in more complete utilization of the high-protein raw materials. Then, during the koji-making process, Aspergillus oryzae protease is added, causing Aspergillus oryzae to produce more enzymes, initially decomposing large protein molecules and promoting more vigorous growth and reproduction. Further fermentation and enzymatic hydrolysis significantly improve the hydrolysis effect, fully utilizing gluten to generate glutamic acid, thus obtaining a high-umami base material. The method of this application has high enzymatic hydrolysis efficiency, high utilization rate of high-protein raw materials, and generates a large number of umami substances, resulting in a delicious and extremely strong umami flavor. Compared with other umami substances, it is also relatively more cost-effective. The high-umami base material obtained by this method adds a new development direction to the condiment industry.

[0100] The preparation method of Comparative Example 1 did not add any enzymes during the koji-making and enzymatic hydrolysis processes, resulting in a low content of glutamic acid, low total nitrogen and ammonia nitrogen, low total nitrogen utilization, and poor overall performance of the high-freshness substrate.

[0101] The preparation method of Comparative Example 2 did not add Aspergillus oryzae protease, resulting in poor decomposition performance of high-protein raw materials and the inability to generate more enzymes. The overall performance of the prepared high-freshness substrate was inferior to that of Example 1.

[0102] The preparation method of Comparative Example 3 did not add glutaminase, glutamine endopeptidase and papain. The overall performance of the high-freshness base prepared was not as good as that of Example 1. This shows that the addition of enzymatic hydrolysate can fully decompose the raw material protein, greatly improve the fermentation efficiency, shorten the fermentation time and enhance the generation of umami amino acids.

[0103] In the preparation method of Comparative Example 4, the high-protein raw material was not puffed, and the high-protein raw material was not easily utilized and decomposed. In this application, the high-protein raw material was puffed, which changed the original network structure of the protein, reduced the structural strength, reduced the viscosity after contact with water, and also caused other protein modifications at high temperature, making it easier for enzymes to utilize and decompose it during enzymatic hydrolysis.

[0104] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this application without departing from the substance and scope of the technical solutions of this application.
