Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of biotechnology and provides a method for increasing the content of native Omega-3 fatty acids in animal products, specifically a method for increasing the content of native Omega-3 fatty acids in animal products using microalgae powder formulations. Background Technology

[0002] With the upgrading of global consumption levels and the popularization of national health awareness, per capita dairy product consumption is gradually increasing. According to relevant data, from 2018 to 2024, China's milk production showed an overall fluctuating upward trend, exceeding 9 million tons in 2024 compared to 2018. Currently, liquid milk and milk powder remain the main consumer categories in China's dairy product consumption structure, with liquid milk accounting for the largest market share at 44.0%. However, with the rise of plant-based alternatives and other beverages, competition from these new beverages has also impacted the dairy product market. Faced with a huge gap in the consumer market, consumers' pursuit of diversity in dairy product consumption structures has injected new momentum into its development. Healthy, premium, and functional dairy products may become the future development trend.

[0003] Numerous studies have shown that Omega-3 fatty acids possess physiological functions such as improving pregnancy survival rates, reducing pregnancy inflammation, promoting brain development, and preventing cardiovascular diseases. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations / World Health Organization (FAO / WHO) recommends that breastfeeding women consume 300 mg of DHA and EPA daily. Recent studies indicate that infants should consume 100 mg of DHA daily, and adolescents 250 mg of DHA daily to promote brain development and enhance intelligence. Milk, as a basic daily nutritional food, has a wide consumer base and is an ideal carrier for fortifying Omega-3 fatty acids. Among commercially available milk products, alpha-linolenic acid and arachidonic acid are common long-chain fatty acids found in milk, with added amounts reaching 10-20 mg / 100 mL, 2-30 mg / 100 mL, and 10-30 mg / 100 mL, respectively. Most methods involve directly adding certain nutrients to milk, which has significant drawbacks. For example, it affects the milk's flavor, making it difficult to avoid a fishy taste; the exogenous fats are unstable in their integration with the milk fat system, easily leading to rancidity and other oxidation phenomena; and the bioavailability of exogenous fats in the body is low. Therefore, finding a method to produce truly natural, flavorful, stable, and safe Omega-3 fatty acid milk—that is, utilizing the metabolic regulation of ruminants to convert ingested Omega-3 fatty acids into milk components—is the best way to overcome these shortcomings.

[0004] Ruminant feed formulations can be divided into silage, concentrates, and nutritional supplements. Aside from the small amount of oil in silage, flaxseed, fish oil, and algal oil are often the main sources of Omega-3 fatty acids. EPA, n-3DPA, and DHA fatty acids can only be obtained from fish oil or algal oil. However, the current threats and limitations to fish oil sources due to marine resource depletion, marine pollution, and nuclear contamination have forced a focus on microorganisms. Microorganisms are not affected by geographical or seasonal variations, have short cycles, and produce stable product content. Furthermore, they are rich in sterols, organic acids, proteins, astaxanthin, and other active substances, making them highly nutritious and serving as excellent protein, fat, and nutritional supplements for ruminants.

[0005] Therefore, developing a method to increase the content of native Omega-3 fatty acids in animal products has become a key technical challenge that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the problems mentioned in the background section, this invention provides a method for increasing the content of native Omega-3 fatty acids in animal products. This invention utilizes microbial fermentation to produce a nutrient-rich microalgae powder formulation, which is then mixed into the diet of ruminants to obtain native milk containing Omega-3 fatty acids. The microalgae powder formulation used in this method significantly increases the content of Omega-3 fatty acids in native milk while addressing oxidative stability and biosynthetic conversion rate. Specifically, the DHA content can reach 31-35 mg / 100mL, the EPA content can reach 10-12 mg / 100mL, the DPA content can reach 4-6 mg / 100mL, the ALA content can reach 7-12 mg / 100mL, and the total Omega-3 fatty acid content can reach 54-65 mg / 100mL. This invention provides a feasible and green solution for providing high-quality functional milk (such as cow's milk) to the public.

[0121]

[0122] Comparative Example 2

[0124] Table 5. Fatty acid composition of fermentation broth in Comparative Example 2

[0125]

[0126] Comparative Example 3

[0127] The difference from Example 2 is that no compound raw materials (i.e., choline chloride, natural vitamin E, and grape seed extract) were added; the fermentation broth was directly spray-dried to obtain microalgae powder. The rest of the process was the same as in Example 2.

[0128] Application Example 1: Feeding Trial

[0129] (1) Experimental design

[0130] Healthy mid-lactation Holstein dairy cows were selected and randomly divided into groups of 6 cows each. Group 1 was the control group, fed a basal diet; Group 2 received the basal diet plus microalgae powder from Example 2; Group 3 received the basal diet plus microalgae powder from Example 3; Group 4 received the basal diet plus microalgae powder from Example 4; Group 5 received the basal diet plus microalgae powder from Comparative Example 1; Group 6 received the basal diet plus microalgae powder from Comparative Example 2; and Group 7 received the basal diet plus microalgae powder from Comparative Example 3. The microalgae powder was fed at a rate of 200g / day per cow, divided into two feedings per day. All cows had free access to feed and water. The experimental basal diet was formulated according to the dairy cow feeding standards (NY / T34—2004). The pre-feeding period was 7 days, and the trial period was 28 days.

[0131] (2) Sample collection

[0132] The feed intake of each cow in each group was recorded daily. On the last day of the experiment, milk samples were collected using a sampler. A total of 50 mL of milk samples were collected according to the ratio of morning:noon:evening = 4:3:3. After adding milk preservatives, the samples were sent to the testing center for milk component testing, as well as analysis of the content of DHA, EPA, DPA, and ALA in the milk components.

[0133] (3) Test results

[0134] Table 6. Effects of different microalgae powders on feed intake and milk yield in dairy cows

[0135]

[0136] Note: Different lowercase letters in the same column indicate significant differences. P <0.05), different capital letters indicate highly significant differences ( P <0.001), unmarked or identical letters indicate no significant difference (P >0.05).

[0137] As shown in Table 6, there was no significant difference in dry matter intake among the different groups of dairy cows ( P >0.05)

[0138] Table 7. Effects of different microalgae powders on dairy milk quality

[0139]

[0140] Note: Different lowercase letters in the same column indicate significant differences. P <0.05), different capital letters indicate highly significant differences ( P <0.001), unmarked or identical letters indicate no significant difference ( P >0.05).

[0141] As shown in Table 7, there were no significant differences in milk yield, milk fat percentage, milk protein percentage, and lactose percentage among the groups of dairy cows. P >0.05).

[0142] Table 8. Omega-3 fatty acid content in milk from different microalgae powder groups

[0143]

[0144] As shown in Table 8, after one month of feeding, the DHA content in dairy cow milk can reach 31-35 mg / 100 mL, the EPA content can reach 10-12 mg / 100 mL, the DPA content can reach 4-6 mg / 100 mL, the ALA content can reach 7-12 mg / 100 mL, and the total Omega-3 fatty acid content can reach 54-65 mg / 100 mL.

[0145] As can be seen from the experimental groups, in the fermentation process of Example 2, no feed-in promoting factor was added, and the microalgae powder preparation fed to animals resulted in relatively poor component content in the milk produced. In Comparative Examples 1-2, the fermentation processes used were different, and the microalgae powder preparations fed to animals produced the lowest component content in the milk produced. Comparative Example 3, which used a microalgae powder preparation without the use of compound raw materials, was metabolized in the gastrointestinal tract of cattle after feeding, resulting in a low DHA content that could be converted into milk.

[0146] In summary, by adding 200g / d of the microalgae powder described in Examples 2-4 to the diet of ruminants, significant enrichment of Omega-3 fatty acids in dairy cow milk can be achieved without adverse effects on milk composition-related indicators.
