[0002] With the improvement of consumer health awareness, traditional industrial beer has been difficult to meet the diversified demand of the market for nutritional and health functions. Functional beer is becoming a new trend in the industry development by virtue of its unique nutritional value and health efficacy. Studies have shown that functional beer not only retains the taste characteristics of traditional beer, but also endows it with health functions such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, immune regulation and the like by adding functional ingredients (such as active peptides, plant extracts and the like). The product design combining drinkability and functionality meets the current consumer's pursuit of the concept of "medicinal and edible homology", and has great market potential.

[0003] Spirulina is rich in protein and low in lipid content, and therefore, spirulina protein is a good source of high-quality bioactive peptides. Its various functional properties have been widely studied, including antioxidant, anti-aging, iron chelation, anti-atherosclerosis activity, anti-inflammatory activity, blood pressure-lowering activity and the like. Spirulina phycocyanin peptide is widely used in the fields of drugs, food and cosmetics due to its excellent biocompatibility, easy absorption and safety.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0013] The present application will be further described below in conjunction with specific examples. It should be understood that these examples are only used to illustrate the present application and are not used to limit the scope of the present application. The experimental methods not specified in the following examples are usually carried out according to the conventional conditions or according to the conditions recommended by the manufacturers.

[0014] Unless otherwise defined, all professional and scientific terms used herein have the same meanings as familiar to those skilled in the art. The reagents or raw materials used in the present application can be purchased through conventional channels, and the reagents or raw materials used in the present application are used according to the conventional manner or according to the product instructions unless otherwise specified.

[0015] Example 1 The spirulina phycocyanin peptide is obtained according to the method disclosed in patent CN119350478B, and the amino acid sequence (SEQ ID NO. 1) of the spirulina phycocyanin peptide is MGHP (Met-Gly-His-Pro).

[0016] Example 2 The preparation of the spirulina phycocyanin peptide beer with anti-aging effect specifically includes the following steps: (1) Grinding raw materials Add water (20wt%) to the malt, stir thoroughly, and then grind it in a grinder to maximize the crushing of the malt endosperm. The standard for crushing is to break the bran but not crush it. This will form a layer of lees during filtration, which is beneficial for the filtration of wort.

[0017] (2) Saccharification Barley malt and wheat malt were crushed at a ratio of 3:2 (dry weight of malt) and fed into the water at a ratio of 1:3.5. The water temperature was raised to 50°C before feeding. To ensure complete protein decomposition, the temperature was maintained for 30 minutes, and then the temperature was slowly raised to 68°C and maintained for 60 minutes to allow β-amylase to hydrolyze the protein under suitable conditions, which was intended to form fermentable sugars. Finally, the temperature was raised to 78°C. Five minutes before the end of saccharification, 6‰ (dry weight of malt) of spirulina phycocyanin peptide (MGHP) was added. A small amount of wort was then tested for iodine. If there was no obvious discoloration, the saccharification process was considered complete. (3) Filtering After saccharification, the wort is filtered. The wort is then poured into a filter tank and filtered using the filter layer naturally formed by the tank and the wasps. If the filtration process is too slow in the later stages, it can be adjusted by manually stirring (in the bottle) or rotating the tiller (in the pot). When filtration is almost complete, the wasps are washed with 78°C water, and the sugar content of the wort is tested. Throughout the process, the filtered wort must be clear and transparent. Finally, the filtered wort is poured into a boiling kettle.

[0018] (4) Boil After filtering the wort, boil it in a boiling pot and keep it boiling for 70 minutes. Add hops three times during the boiling process, starting from the moment the wort boils. Add 0.1‰ bitter hops after boiling for 10 minutes, add 0.3‰ bitter hops after boiling for 30 minutes, and add 0.2‰ aromatic hops 10 minutes before the end of boiling.

[0019] (5) vortex precipitation After boiling, pour the wort into a vortex settling tank and let it stand for 20 minutes.

[0020] (6) Fermentation and ripening After swirling and settling, the hop mash and hot coagulated material are discharged. The clear wort is cooled via a plate heat exchanger and pumped into the fermentation tank. The inlet temperature is controlled at 18-22°C, and oxygen is introduced to create an environment conducive to yeast initiation and growth. Yeast cells are then inoculated under aseptic conditions. To ensure good yeast growth and metabolic activity, the inoculation concentration is 0.8 × 10⁻⁶. 7After the yeast is inoculated, the wort enters the main fermentation process (the fermentation temperature is controlled at 18-22℃), and the yeast performs aerobic respiration to consume the sugar in the wort during the main fermentation process. Since the yeast is in a vigorous growth stage at this time, the sugar content of the fermentation liquid needs to be detected frequently. When the sugar content is reduced to 4°P, the tank is sealed (the opening degree of the tank top exhaust valve is controlled to keep the tank pressure rising to the required value), and the main fermentation period ends. After the fermentation tank is sealed, the post-fermentation process begins. At this time, the yeast performs anaerobic respiration to generate a large amount of carbon dioxide and ethanol, thus causing the pressure in the fermentation tank to rise. When the pressure in the fermentation tank rises to 0.14 MPa, diacetyl reduction occurs, and the diacetyl reduction is basically completed in about one week. The diacetyl content in the fermentation liquid is detected every day, and when the diacetyl content is less than 0.08 mg / L, the diacetyl reduction process is completed. Then the fermentation tank temperature is reduced to 0℃, and the fermentation tank pressure is controlled at about 0.13 MPa. If the yeast mud at the bottom of the fermentation tank is deposited too much, it needs to be discharged in an appropriate amount, otherwise it will affect the taste of the beer. After the fermentation temperature is reduced to 0℃, it is continued for 7 days to enter the beer maturation period, which aims to stabilize the beer body and observe the pressure in the fermentation tank. In order to ensure that the beer is refreshing and has a good taste, food-grade CO2 gas is introduced in time when the pressure is insufficient.

[0041] The results of the collagen I content detection are shown in Table 5. As can be seen from Table 5, compared with the BC group, the collagen I content of the NC group decreased significantly, indicating that the test stimulation conditions were effective. Compared with the NC group, the collagen I content of the PC group increased significantly, indicating that the positive control test was effective. Compared with the NC group, Examples 2-4 and Comparative Examples 1-4 all had the effect of promoting the content of collagen I, and Examples 2-4 significantly increased the content of collagen I, with an increase rate of 56.49%, 67.43%, and 73.69%, respectively. The promoting effect of Examples 2-4 was significantly higher than that of Comparative Examples 1-4, among which Example 4 had the highest increase rate, so the beer can significantly increase the content of collagen I and achieve the effect of tightening.
