Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of food processing, and specifically relates to a process for preparing calcium absorption promoting active polypeptides by multi-enzyme synergistic complex directional enzymolysis of egg yolk protein, which is suitable for the development of functional food and calcium nutritional supplements. BACKGROUND

[0002] Traditional technologies generally use single protease to hydrolyze egg yolk protein to prepare calcium binding peptides, which has the problems of single enzyme cutting site, low peptide yield, product molecular weight dispersion and the like, which brings troubles such as insufficient functional activity and low industrialization efficiency to application.

[0003] In the existing published patent literature, patent application 1 with the application number 202410700733.X and the name of egg yolk peptide for promoting calcium absorption and its preparation method and application adopts the scheme of extracting egg yolk peptide from fertilized chicken eggs after hatching, but it has the following shortcomings or problems: first, although this scheme improves the utilization rate of egg yolk protein to a certain extent and prepares egg yolk peptides with calcium chelation activity, it relies on chicken embryo eggs at a specific hatching stage as raw materials, and the process is complex and has strict requirements on hatching days, storage conditions and the like, resulting in high cost; second, although the use of ethanol and ethyl acetate mixture and the step of ultrafiltration separation of small molecular components in the defatting and extraction process can effectively enrich the target peptide segment, the operation is complicated and time-consuming, especially in large-scale production scenarios, which may face the problems of high equipment investment and long operation cycle; finally, this method does not explicitly solve the problem of high loss rate of active fragments caused by secondary processing in the traditional enzymolysis process, and the content of bitter polypeptides in the product still cannot be effectively controlled. Therefore, this technical scheme may be limited by the balance problem between cost and efficiency in actual promotion.

[0004] Patent application 2 with application number 201710004653.0 and title of a kind of electron beam irradiation combined with enzyme method separates and purifies high affinity calcium of wheat germ polypeptide adopts electron beam irradiation modification combined with alkaline protease hydrolysis method, but it has the following shortcomings or problems: on the one hand, the protein structure change induced by electron beam irradiation can indeed improve the enzymolysis efficiency and generate a large number of functional peptides, but the electron beam irradiation technology itself needs expensive special equipment and strict radiation safety protection measures, which makes it difficult to realize low-cost large-scale commercial production; on the other hand, although the method uses various separation and purification means (such as ultrafiltration, anion exchange chromatography, gel filtration chromatography and reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography), high affinity calcium of wheat germ polypeptide is successfully obtained, but these complex separation steps not only increase the process difficulty, but also significantly prolong the overall processing time, further increasing the industrialization cost. In addition, due to the optimization of multiple gradient elution conditions in the separation process, batch consistency problems may occur in actual operation, thereby affecting the product quality stability. At the same time, the scheme is mainly aimed at wheat germ protein rather than egg yolk protein, the source of raw materials is narrow, which limits its applicability.

[0005] In summary, the above two existing technologies have not completely overcome the key defects in the traditional enzymolysis process, such as high loss rate of active fragments, prominent bitter taste of products, long process cycle and high industrialization cost. Therefore, developing a directional enzymolysis process that can not only ensure high retention rate of active peptide segments but also significantly reduce production cost is still a technical bottleneck that needs to be broken through in the field of functional foods.

[0015] As a preferred, in the concentration and drying, the inlet air temperature of spray drying is 180°C, and the outlet air temperature is 90-100°C.

[0016] Technical effects: 1) The present application realizes efficient preparation of high-activity, small-molecule calcium absorption promoting peptides by optimizing key technologies such as raw material pretreatment, double-enzyme synergistic enzymolysis, separation and spray drying, and has higher industrialization efficiency and economy.

[0054] Table 2 Performance indicators of Comparative Examples 6-10

[0055] ​It can be further known from Table 2 that the indexes of Examples 1, 2 and 3 are all higher than those of Comparative Examples 6-10. The analysis reason is that the double-enzyme synergistic enzymolysis process breaks through the bottleneck of limited single enzymolysis enzyme cutting site, significantly improves the degree of hydrolysis and the yield of peptides, at the same time avoids the damage of secondary enzymolysis to active peptide segments, reduces the risk of bitter polypeptide exposure; compared with the multi-stage separation process, the simplified low-pressure membrane separation and ultrafiltration separation technology significantly shortens the process cycle, reduces the equipment investment and operation cost, and is more suitable for large-scale production; under the action of the composite enzyme and the primary enzymolysis process of the application, the application realizes the precise control of the molecular weight of polypeptides (the proportion of <5000 Da is >90%), ensures the high calcium binding capacity and the calcium absorption promoting effect of the product, and the spatial steric hindrance of the short peptide chain is smaller, so there are more calcium binding sites exposed, which is easier to coordinate with calcium ions, so as to chelate more calcium ions. It is significantly better than the performance of the product with dispersed molecular weight (most >3000 Da) in the traditional process. Moreover, it is found in the experiment that the process efficiency of the application is very high, and the process cycle of the prior art can be shortened to 3-4 hours.
