Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of aquatic feed and quality improvement of aquatic products, and discloses a functional feed additive for improving the quality of aquatic products and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of aquaculture, the proportion of fish and shrimp aquatic products in human dietary structure is increasing, and the requirements for their meat flavor and eating quality are also increasing. However, the aquatic products obtained under the existing breeding conditions often have sensory defects such as heavy fishy smell, weak flavor and low content of umami substances, the main reasons of which include the accumulation of volatile basic nitrogen and trimethylamine in aquatic animals, and the low level of flavor amino acids and umami nucleotides in muscle.

[0003] At present, the means for improving the flavor of aquatic products mainly focus on the post-processing stage, such as packaging deodorization, flavor seasoning and preservation treatment, but there are problems of high cost and limited effect. In terms of feed source control, some studies have tried to improve the meat flavor of fish and shrimp by adding Chinese herbal medicine extract, amino acid regulator and fermentation product, but many of them have problems of single action mechanism, unstable functional components or poor processing adaptability, which makes it difficult to achieve the inhibition of fishy smell and the activation of umami from the metabolic pathway in vivo. At the same time, some flavoring agents only play a masking role and cannot fundamentally improve the composition of endogenous flavor substances in muscle. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a functional feed additive with a synergistic regulation mechanism, which can not only inhibit the synthesis and accumulation of fishy smell substances, but also promote the generation of flavor amino acids and umami nucleotides in the muscle of aquatic animals, so as to improve the sensory flavor and quality stability of aquatic products from the source.

[0055] Performance detection

[0056] 1. Volatile basic nitrogen content determination

[0057] The fish samples of Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-2 are fed for 30 days, and then the fish dorsal muscle samples are collected, cut and mixed. 10 g of the sample is accurately weighed, 50 mL of distilled water is added, shaken at 4°C for 30 minutes and then filtered. 10 mL of the filtrate is placed in a Kjeldahl nitrogen determination device, the distilled volatile basic substances are absorbed with 0.01 mol / L boric acid absorption liquid, and titrated with 0.01 mol / L hydrochloric acid standard solution, and the consumption volume is recorded. The volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) value is calculated according to the following formula:

[0058]

[0059] The lower the VBN value, the less the content of amino-type spoilage substances in the sample. The results are shown in Table 1 below.

[0060] Table 1 Volatile basic nitrogen content

[0061] Sample VBN content (mg / 100 g) Example 1 18.6 Example 2 12.3 Example 3 14.8 Comparative Example 1 27.5 Comparative Example 2 23.2

[0062] As can be seen from Table 1, the VBN content of Examples 1-3 is significantly lower than that of Comparative Examples 1 and 2, and the effect of Example 2 is the most significant. It shows that tea polyphenol can combine with amino-type degradation products and free amines to form stable complexes, reduce the generation of volatile basic substances; the chitosan network structure further adsorbs metabolic amines and blocks their diffusion; and the γ-aminobutyric acid and inosinic acid rich in marine source lactic acid bacteria fermentation product can regulate fish amino acid metabolism and deaminase activity, reducing the accumulation of amine precursors from the metabolic pathway. The three synergistically reduce the spoilage amino derivatives in fish meat, and the flavor is more refreshing and stable.

[0063] 2. Trimethylamine content determination

[0064] After 30 days of feeding fish samples with Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-2, dorsal muscle samples were collected, cut and mixed, 10 g of sample was accurately weighed, 50 mL of trichloroacetic acid solution (7.5%, w / v) was added, and after oscillation extraction at 4°C for 30 minutes, filtration was performed. 5 mL of filtrate was taken, 1 mL of formaldehyde and 5 mL of acetone solution were added, mixed and allowed to react for 10 minutes to form stable adducts of trimethylamine and formaldehyde. After centrifugation (4000 rpm, 10 min), the supernatant was taken, and the absorbance was measured at a wavelength of 410 nm using a spectrophotometer. The trimethylamine content (mg / 100 g) in the sample was calculated according to the standard curve. Each sample was measured 3 times to take the average value. The lower the trimethylamine value, the more effectively the generation of fishy odor precursors is inhibited. The results are shown in Table 2 below.

[0065] Table 2 Trimethylamine content

[0066] Sample Trimethylamine content (mg / 100 g) Example 1 2.35 Example 2 1.42 Example 3 1.76 Comparative Example 1 3.68 Comparative Example 2 3.12

[0067] As can be seen from Table 2, the trimethylamine content of Examples 1-3 is significantly lower than that of Comparative Examples 1 and 2, indicating that the functional feed additive has good effect in inhibiting the generation of fishy odor precursor substances. Among them, the trimethylamine value of Example 2 is the lowest, only 1.42 mg / 100 g, indicating that the synergistic effect is the strongest under the high dose combination. The tea polyphenol-chitosan complex introduced in the present application has good complexing ability, can form stable complexes with trimethylamine through multiple actions such as hydrogen bond and electrostatic interaction, thereby reducing its volatility; at the same time, γ-aminobutyric acid and flavor nucleotide metabolites in the marine source lactic acid bacteria fermentation product can effectively regulate the intestinal microbial structure and amino acid deamination pathway, thereby reducing the generation of trimethylamine from the source. In contrast, Comparative Example 1 does not add a tea polyphenol-chitosan complexing system, and Comparative Example 2 uses a conventional lactic acid bacteria product, both of which result in an increase in trimethylamine levels.

[0068] 3. Flavor improvement and flavor substance determination

[0069] Flavor amino acid content determination: After 30 days of feeding fish samples with Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-2, fish dorsal muscle tissue was collected, cut and homogenized, 1 g of sample was weighed, 10 mL of 0.02 mol / L hydrochloric acid solution was added, and oscillation extraction was performed at 4°C for 1 hour. Centrifugation was performed at 8000 rpm for 15 min, and the supernatant was filtered through a 0.22 μm filter membrane. Then 1 mL of filtrate was injected into an amino acid automatic analyzer, and the contents of glutamic acid, alanine and glycine were measured, respectively. The concentration was converted by the standard curve, and the result was expressed in mg / 100 g of muscle. Each sample was measured 3 times to take the average value.

[0070] Fresh taste nucleotide content determination: After the fish samples were treated, 1 g of muscle tissue was accurately weighed, added with 10 mL of 5% perchloric acid solution, homogenized and extracted, ultrasonicated in an ice bath for 15 minutes, adjusted to pH 6.5, filtered with a 0.22 μm filter membrane, and 1 mL of the sample was taken and injected into an HPLC system. A C18 chromatographic column was used, the mobile phase was 0.02 mol / L phosphate buffer (pH 6.5) + 5% methanol, the flow rate was 1.0 mL / min, the ultraviolet detection wavelength was 254 nm, the column temperature was 30°C, and the contents of inosinic acid and guanylic acid were determined, and the results were expressed in mg / 100 g of muscle.

[0071] The results are shown in Table 3 below.

[0072] Table 3: Contents of flavor amino acids and fresh taste nucleotides (mg / 100 g)

[0073] Sample Glutamic acid Alanine Glycine Inosinic acid Guanosinic acid Example 1 38.5 21.4 18.2 26.7 5.3 Example 2 45.8 24.6 22.1 35.9 6.8 Example 3 42.1 22.8 20.4 31.2 6.1 Comparative Example 1 28.6 16.2 13.5 17.3 3.7 Comparative Example 2 32.3 18.5 15.7 21.4 4.2

[0074] As can be seen from Table 3, the contents of flavor amino acids such as glutamic acid, alanine and glycine, and the contents of fresh taste nucleotides such as inosinic acid and guanylic acid in Examples 1-3 are significantly higher than those in Comparative Examples 1 and 2, and especially in Example 2, the overall flavor substance content reaches the highest level, showing a significant synergistic enhancement effect. The results show that by introducing the fermentation product of the marine source lactic acid bacteria, the activation of the fresh taste related metabolic pathway in the fish body is effectively promoted, and the fermentation metabolites are rich in γ-aminobutyric acid, inosinic acid and glutamic acid precursors, which can significantly enhance the in vivo glutamic acid decarboxylation, nucleotide synthesis and retention efficiency. At the same time, the tea polyphenol-chitosan complex structure as a carrier sustained-release matrix provides an antioxidant and stable environment, which helps the stable accumulation and flavor performance of the fresh taste substances in the fish body. Comparative Example 1 lacks tea polyphenol-chitosan, and the flavor substance content is significantly low, indicating that the complex structure plays an important role in flavor enhancement; while Comparative Example 2 contains tea polyphenol-chitosan, but due to the use of marine source strains, the flavor induction ability of its metabolites is limited.

[0075] 4. Determination of glutamine synthetase (GS) activity in liver

[0076] After feeding fish samples of Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-2 for 30 days, liver samples were taken and quickly washed with pre-cooled normal saline, about 0.2 g of liver tissue was weighed, 1.8 mL of pre-cooled lysis buffer (containing 0.05 mol / L Tris-HCl, 0.25 mol / L sucrose, 1 mmol / L EDTA, pH 7.4) was added under the condition of 4°C, and after homogenization treatment, centrifugation was performed at 8000 rpm for 15 minutes, and the supernatant was used for enzyme activity detection. Using a commercial GS activity detection kit, the colorimetric method was used according to the instructions: the rate of change of NADH absorbance at 340 nm was measured, and the enzyme activity unit was calculated. The GS activity is defined as the amount of enzyme required to catalyze the generation of 1 μmol of glutamine per minute, and the unit is U / mg prot (unit protein enzyme activity). The results are shown in Table 4 below.

[0077] Table 4 GS enzyme activity in liver

[0078] Sample GS enzyme activity (U / mg prot) Example 1 12.5 Example 2 16.8 Example 3 14.9 Comparative Example 1 8.1 Comparative Example 2 9.6

[0079] As can be seen from Table 4, the glutamine synthetase activity of the fish liver in Examples 1-3 is significantly higher than that of Comparative Examples 1 and 2, especially Example 2, the enzyme activity reaches 16.8 U / mg prot, showing obvious ammonia metabolism activation effect. The results show that the tea polyphenol-chitosan complex in the present application not only has the physical effect of complexing and adsorbing amino class metabolites, but also can promote the biological transformation process of glutamic acid to glutamine by regulating the nitrogen source signal pathway and the function of the gut-liver axis, thereby accelerating the endogenous detoxification path of ammonia. At the same time, the γ-aminobutyric acid and metabolic precursors rich in marine source lactic acid bacteria fermentation products also play a positive regulatory role in improving ammonia balanced metabolism. Comparative Example 1 lacks tea polyphenol-chitosan structure, and Comparative Example 2 uses conventional lactic acid bacteria, both of which result in low GS activity, further verifying the synergistic advantage of the key combined components in the present application in enhancing ammonia metabolism and improving homeostasis in aquatic animals.
