AI Technical Summary
Traditional Fu brick tea fermentation relies on the microbial community in the natural environment, which has a long fermentation cycle, unstable quality, and risk of contamination by miscellaneous bacteria. Moreover, existing technologies are unable to quickly establish and maintain the dominant position of the microbial community, resulting in low efficiency in the generation of key flavor substances such as theaflavins and tea polysaccharides.
Employing an intelligent controlled-release system (environmentally responsive antimicrobial microspheres and a composite fermentation carrier-microsphere synergistic release mechanism), microorganisms are immobilized through a multi-level porous carrier. Combined with a three-stage fermentation process, temperature, humidity, and pH are precisely controlled to achieve efficient colonization of *Aspergillus cristatus* and inhibition of other microorganisms, thereby optimizing microbial metabolism and flavor compound generation.

Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of Fuzhuan tea process, and particularly relates to a precise fermentation method of Fuzhuan tea. BACKGROUND
[0002] As an important category of dark tea, Fuzhuan tea mainly relies on the action of Eurotium cristatum in the fermentation process to form Eurotium cristatum in the tea base and promote the transformation of tea contents. However, the traditional fermentation of Fuzhuan tea relies on microbial communities in the natural environment, which has problems such as long fermentation period, unstable quality, high risk of contamination by miscellaneous bacteria and the like. The existing technology attempts to optimize fermentation by artificially inoculating pure culture strains, but direct use of mycelium is easy to be damaged by high temperature in processing, and simple spore inoculation also faces challenges such as asynchronous germination and insufficient metabolic activity. In addition, the traditional process lacks precise regulation of the growth environment of microorganisms, resulting in low generation efficiency of key flavor substances such as theaflavins and tea polysaccharides, which restricts the standardized production and quality improvement of Fuzhuan tea.
[0003] In recent years, although there are studies on immobilization of microorganisms using porous materials, ordinary carriers cannot meet multiple requirements such as spore protection, mycelium expansion, nutrient slow release and miscellaneous bacteria inhibition. Especially in the production environment with large fluctuations in temperature and humidity, the existing technology is difficult to achieve rapid establishment and maintenance of the dominant position of the microbial community. Therefore, developing a fermentation technology that can synergistically regulate the morphological conversion of microorganisms and dynamically release functional components has become a key problem that needs to be broken through in the Fuzhuan tea industry. SUMMARY
[0004] The technical problem to be solved: In view of the above technical problems, the purpose of the present application is to provide a precise fermentation method of Fuzhuan tea, which shortens the fermentation period to 10-12 days by using an intelligent controlled-release system (environment-responsive antibacterial microspheres and a composite fermentation carrier-microspheres synergistic release mechanism), greatly improving the efficiency. The environment-responsive antibacterial microspheres are tea polyphenol-chitosan core-shell microspheres, wherein the core layer: 0.1-0.2% tea polyphenol (mainly EGCG) provides antibacterial activity; the shell layer: sodium alginate / chitosan composite film (pH / humidity double response). The 20-50 μm large pores of the multi-level pore carrier fix the microspheres, and the 5-10 nm mesopores adjust the release kinetics. When the humidity is greater than 85%, the sodium alginate shell absorbs water and swells, the pore size expands, and the tea polyphenol is released slowly (initial antibacterial, release rate 0.8 mg / h); when the number of miscellaneous bacteria increases, the pH rises due to metabolism, and when the pH is greater than 6.0, the chitosan dissolves in weak alkaline conditions, the shell layer collapses, and the high-concentration tea polyphenol is quickly released to inhibit bacteria; when the temperature is 30℃, the difference in thermal expansion coefficient of the mesopores of the carrier causes the “nano valve” effect, and the fucose is released through the mesopores to increase the supply of carbon source.
[0005] Technical scheme: A precise fermentation method of Fuzhuan tea, comprising the following steps: S1: raw material pretreatment 1) screening and blending: blend clean black tea with tea stems in a certain proportion; 2) steaming and pile fermentation: steaming temperature is 85-95℃, and duration is 15-30 s; 3) add tea juice, and the moisture content of tea base is 11-12%; 4) add 1-2% of composite fermentation carrier according to the weight of tea base, and mechanically mix evenly; 5) send to the brick press for pressing; 6) cooling and shaping: cooling time is 120-150 min; S2: three-stage fermentation 1) in the first 3 days, germination is carried out at a temperature of 27.5-28.5℃ and a humidity of 83-87% RH (spore germination, slow release of microspheres); 2) in the fourth to eighth days, proliferation is carried out at a temperature of 29.5-30.5℃ and a humidity of 89-91% RH (fucose promotes growth, pH triggers controlled release); 3) in the ninth to twelfth days, enter the stable period at a temperature of 31.5-32.5℃ and a humidity of 78-82% RH (metabolite conversion, carrier recovery); S3: carrier recovery and regeneration 1) after fermentation, adsorb the composite fermentation carrier by the permanent magnet roller (magnetic field strength 0.5T); 2) carrier regeneration: remove residual bacteria by ultrasonic cleaning (40kHz, 10min); 3) after drying at 80℃, reload spores and fucose.
[0006] Further, the mass ratio of the black tea to the tea stems is (8:2) - (9:1).
[0007] Further, the tea juice is a water solution of black tea extracted by hot water at 80-90℃, and the solid content is 5-8%.
[0008] Further, the preparation method of the composite fermentation carrier is: S11: mix food-grade mesoporous silica and Fe3O4 nanoparticles at a mass ratio of 9:1, add 3% amino silane coupling agent, and react at 80℃ for 6h to obtain amino-modified mixed particles; S12: uniformly mix PMMA microspheres and amino-modified mixed particles at a mass ratio of 1:(5-7), press into shape, calcine at 550℃ for 4h to remove the template, form 20-50μm through macropores, and obtain a multi-level pore carrier; S13: immerse the hierarchical porous carrier in a dopamine-Tris buffer solution, oscillate at 22-25 DEG C for 24h to obtain a polydopamine-coated hierarchical porous carrier, and then immerse the carrier in a Eurotium cristatum spore suspension, and adsorb the spores under a vacuum negative pressure of -0.08 MPa for 30-35 min to obtain a hierarchical porous carrier loaded with Eurotium cristatum spores; S14: fill the antibacterial microspheres into the macropores of the hierarchical porous carrier loaded with Eurotium cristatum spores by vibration screening, immerse the carrier in a 4-5% fucose solution for 50-60 min, and vacuum dry the carrier at 60 DEG C until a constant weight is obtained.
[0009] Further, the food-grade mesoporous silica has a pore size of 5-10 nm and an average specific surface area of 807 m 2 / g.
[0010] Further, the Fe3O4 nanoparticles have a particle size of 5-8 nm.
[0011] Further, the PMMA microspheres have a particle size of 30-35 μm.
[0012] Further, the dopamine-Tris buffer solution has a pH of 8.5 and a concentration of 2 mg / mL.
[0013] Further, the content of Eurotium cristatum spores in the Eurotium cristatum spore suspension in S13 is 1.0 x 10 8 -3.0 x 10 8 CFU / mL.
[0014] Further, the antibacterial microspheres are prepared by the following method in S14: Step 1: mix tea polyphenols, chitosan and a dilute acid solution to obtain a solution containing 0.1-0.2% tea polyphenols and 0.5% chitosan; Step 2: drop the solution into a 2% CaCl2 solution, solidify at a stirring rate of 500 rpm for 30 min, and filter and screen to obtain antibacterial microspheres with a particle size of 20-50 μm.
[0015] Further, the pressing pressure is 8-10 MPa.
[0016] The above method is used to prepare the brick tea. Advantages
[0017] 1、The application shortens the fermentation period to 10-12 days by adopting an intelligent controlled release system (environmentally responsive antibacterial microspheres and composite fermentation carrier-microsphere synergistic release mechanism), greatly improving efficiency. The environmentally responsive antibacterial microspheres are tea polyphenol-chitosan core-shell microspheres, wherein the core layer: 0.1-0.2% tea polyphenol (mainly EGCG) provides antibacterial activity; the shell layer: sodium alginate / chitosan composite film (pH / humidity double response). The 20-50 μm large pores of the multi-level pore carrier fix the microspheres, and the 5-10 nm mesopores adjust the release kinetics. When the humidity is >85%, the sodium alginate shell swells by absorbing water, the pore size expands, and the tea polyphenol is released slowly (initial antibacterial activity, release rate 0.8 mg / h); when the number of miscellaneous bacteria increases, the pH rises due to metabolism, and when the pH is >6.0, the chitosan dissolves in weak alkaline conditions, the shell layer collapses, and high-concentration tea polyphenol is rapidly released to inhibit bacteria; at a temperature of 30℃, the difference in the thermal expansion coefficient of the mesopores of the carrier causes a "nano valve" effect, and the fucose is accelerated to release through the mesopores, and the amount of carbon source supply is increased.
[0018] 2、The application realizes efficient colonization of Eurotium cristatum and inhibition of miscellaneous bacteria by designing a composite fermentation carrier. The multi-level pore carrier (mesopore 5-10 nm+macropore 20-50 μm) is used to load Eurotium cristatum spores, antibacterial microspheres and fucose, and the spore adhesion is enhanced by a polydopamine coating. Spore directional colonization: the macropore structure of the carrier provides a space for microbial growth, and the mesopore serves as a microenvironment regulation unit for Eurotium cristatum spores, which optimizes the growth conditions of the microbial community by adsorbing and slowly releasing metabolites; dynamic inhibition of miscellaneous bacteria: the tea polyphenol-chitosan microspheres release through humidity / pH double response, and the mold detection rate is reduced to 0.4-2.0%; precise nutrition supply: fucose release promotes the exclusive growth of Eurotium cristatum, ensuring the stable generation of core flavor substances of brick tea.
[0019] 3、The application optimizes microbial metabolism and flavor substance generation through a three-stage fermentation process, and regulates temperature and humidity in stages (germination period 28℃ / 85%RH→proliferation period 30℃ / 90%RH→stable period 32℃ / 80%RH); the first stage: efficient spore germination: a low-temperature and high-humidity environment (1-3 days) increases the spore germination rate to more than 95% (the constant temperature of 30℃ is only 78.9%); the second stage: directional conversion of tea polyphenol: the middle temperature triggers the release of antibacterial components from the microspheres, and promotes enzymatic oxidation at the same time, increasing the content of theaflavins; the third stage: efficient recovery of the carrier: the end of the period is characterized by stable product recovery, and the recovery rate of the carrier is >80%.
[0020] 4、The intelligent controlled release system and the three-stage fermentation form a space-time coupling in the application: the first stage (1-3 days) of slow-release of the microspheres inhibits miscellaneous bacteria, creating an advantageous environment for spore germination; the second stage (4-8 days) of rapid release triggered by pH responds to the peak of miscellaneous bacteria competition; the third stage (9-12 days) of continuous release of metabolic substrates through mesopores stabilizes the quality.
[0021] 5、The present application guarantees the process safety and the carrier combination strength through the steaming-pressing synergistic pretreatment, softens the tea base at 90℃ for 15-30s, and forms the dense brick body through pressing at 8-10MPa. The steaming reduces the mold load of the raw material, achieves the initial inactivation of miscellaneous bacteria, and the carrier-tea base is tightly combined after pressing.
[0022] 6、The mesopore of the multi-level pore carrier in the present application can also load the tea polyphenol degradation product, enhance the synergistic effect of antibiosis, and limit the too fast diffusion of the tea polyphenol, so that the tea polyphenol and chitosan form the gradient release in the microspheres.
[0023] 7、The present application significantly reduces the production cost through the carrier recycling regeneration technology. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0040] The difference between this comparative example and Example 4 is that there is no Fe3O4 nanoparticles, and the specific process is as follows: The preparation method of the composite fermentation carrier is as follows: S11: Take food-grade mesoporous silica with a pore size of 5-10 nm and an average specific surface area of 807 m 2 / g, 3% γ-aminopropyl triethoxysilane is added, and reaction is carried out at 80°C for 6h to obtain aminated mixed particles; S12: The PMMA microspheres with a particle size of 30-35μm are uniformly mixed with the aminated mixed particles at a mass ratio of 1:6, and are pressed and formed, and are calcined at 550°C for 4h to remove the template, to form 20-50μm through macropores, and a multi-level pore carrier is obtained; S13: The multi-level pore carrier is immersed in a dopamine-Tris buffer solution with a pH of 8.5 and a concentration of 2mg / mL, and is oscillated at 25°C for 24h to obtain a multi-level pore carrier coated with polydopamine, and then is immersed in a Eurotium cristatum spore suspension with a content of 2.0×10 8 CFU / mL, and is adsorbed under a vacuum negative pressure of-0.08MPa for 33min to obtain a multi-level pore carrier loaded with Eurotium cristatum spores; S14: The antibacterial microspheres were filled into the macropores of the multi-level porous carrier loaded with Eurotium cristatum spores by vibration screening, immersed in a 5% fucose solution for 55 min, and vacuum dried at 60°C to constant weight.
[0041] Performance test: Specific surface area: determined according to the BET nitrogen adsorption method (GB / T 19587-2017); Spore load: determined according to the plate count method (GB 4789.15-2016); Fucose load: determined according to the sulfuric acid-phenol method (GB 5009.8-2016); Microsphere filling rate: determined according to SEM image analysis (ISO 21363:2020); Magnetic response: determined according to the vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) test; The results are shown in Table 2 below: Table 2
[0042] The specific surface area reflects the degree of development of the carrier pore structure, and the higher the value, the stronger the adsorption capacity. As can be seen from the above table, the specific surface area of the examples is slightly lower than that of Comparative Example 1 (805 m 2 / g) due to the introduction of macroporous structure, but it is more suitable for multifunctional requirements. The spore load directly reflects the ability of the carrier to immobilize Eurotium cristatum spores, and the polydopamine coating (Examples 3-10) significantly increases the load compared to Comparative Example 2 without coating. Each example can stably load fucose, indicating that the adsorption capacity of the carrier mesoporous structure to sugars is consistent. After comprehensive consideration, the performance of the composite fermentation carrier of Example 7 is better, which is used for subsequent tests. Example 11
