Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of probiotic agents, and in particular to a preparation method of a composite probiotic preparation for removing plasticizers in vivo. BACKGROUND

[0002] Plasticizers (such as phthalates) have lipophilic and easy migration characteristics, and are widely present in food contact materials, daily chemicals and environmental media. Human body can be exposed to them through multiple pathways such as ingestion, inhalation and percutaneous absorption. After entering the body, their metabolites can cause endocrine disruption and oxidative stress, and are closely related to dietary structure and intestinal microecological state. Therefore, the focus of research and industrial application is to reduce the burden and risk of re-exposure in the body through oral means.

[0003] There are currently three main strategies: first, supplementing small molecule substances related to antioxidant or detoxification to reduce body damage; second, using food-derived carriers (such as dietary fibers, cyclodextrins, mineral materials, etc.) with adsorption / packing effect to reduce the content of absorbable substances in the intestinal cavity; third, using probiotics or probiotics combined with prebiotics to improve intestinal barrier function and metabolic status. Although the above methods have shown certain effectiveness in antioxidant protection, reducing intestinal exposure or regulating intestinal microecology, in actual application, common limitations include: the survival rate of probiotics fluctuates greatly after passing through the gastric acid and bile salt environment; the gel or coating system is prone to burst release or breakage under strong acid environment or shear force; the selectivity and binding strength for hydrophobic plasticizers are insufficient; the intestinal segment release timing is difficult to stabilize and reproduce; and in the process of large-scale production, the batch consistency is poor due to problems in particle size distribution and layer thickness control. These problems make the overall effect of promoting excretion and preventing reabsorption unstable, with significant individual differences, making it difficult to be applied to population intervention for a long time and in a standardized manner.

[0004] Based on the above status, in the oral administration scenario, how to achieve high survival and controllable arrival of probiotics through the gastrointestinal tract while maintaining sufficient selective binding and mass transfer efficiency for hydrophobic plasticizers without increasing additional safety risks is a key problem that needs to be solved. SUMMARY

[0005] The purpose of the present application is to overcome the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art, and to provide a preparation method of a composite probiotic preparation for removing plasticizers in vivo.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the first aspect of the present application provides a preparation method of a composite probiotic for removing plasticizers in vivo, comprising the following steps: S1: providing a mixed bacterial body of Lactobacillus paracasei, Lactobacillus plantarum and a Bifidobacterium, to obtain a mixed bacterial body; S2: resuspend the mixed bacteria in an inner protective solution consisting of trehalose, mannose oligosaccharide and L-proline to obtain a cell suspension; S3: mix the cell suspension with a functional gel precursor consisting of L-aspartic acid, carboxylated β-cyclodextrin and porous corn starch, spray into a coagulation bath containing calcium ions and optionally zinc ions to cross-link and form, then surface coordinate with green tea extract and ferric ions to obtain bacteria-containing microparticles; S4: outer coating and low-temperature drying of the bacteria-containing microparticles, wherein the outer coating comprises: (a) a polysaccharide complex layer formed by chitosan and pectin; and (b) an enteric polymer layer, the enteric polymer being selected from one of methacrylic acid-ethyl acrylic acid copolymer aqueous dispersion, lacquer, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose phthalate, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose succinate.

[0007] As a further improvement of the present application, the preparation method of the green tea extract is: under the condition of 20-35 ℃, using glycerol, lactic acid and water three-phase solvent as the extraction medium, microwave enhanced extraction under the condition of partially retaining polyphenol oxidase activity, and collecting the extract rich in epigallocatechin and catechin gallate through directional penetration of the permeation membrane; the total catechin content of the obtained extract is ≥80%, and the sum of epigallocatechin and catechin gallate is ≥60%.

[0008] As a further improvement of the present application, the concentration of calcium ions is 25-40 mM, the concentration of zinc ions is 2-4 mM, and the molar ratio of calcium to zinc is 9:1-12:1.

[0009] As a further improvement of the present application, the mass ratio of L-aspartic acid, carboxylated β-cyclodextrin and porous corn starch in the functional gel precursor is 100:13-75:6-31.

[0010] As a further improvement of the present application, in the preparation process of the functional gel precursor, L-aspartic acid and carboxylated β-cyclodextrin are first pre-dissolved in a low-concentration organic solvent of 10-20 wt%, then porous corn starch is added, the solution pH is controlled at 6.5±0.3, the stirring speed is controlled at 200-300 rpm, and stirring is performed for 10-15 minutes.

[0011] As a further improvement of the present application, the concentration of green tea extract in the surface coordination solution is 0.03%-0.10%(w / v), the concentration of ferric ions is 0.05-0.15 mM, and the pH is 6.3-6.7.

[0012] As a further improvement of the present invention, in the surface coordination treatment process of step S3, the pH is controlled at 6.4±0.2, the coordination time is controlled at 30-60s, and the stirring speed is controlled at 100-150rpm; and after the coordination is completed, the surface is washed with 5±0.5mM sodium citrate.

[0013] The polyphenolic compounds in green tea extract possess multiple phenolic hydroxyl sites that can form complexes with ferric ions through polydentate coordination. This allows the ferric ions to embed into the surface of the microparticles, resulting in a more compact and ordered cross-linked network. This provides additional structural stability to the microparticles, preventing dissolution, dissociation, or physical structural damage in harsh environments such as gastric acid. Furthermore, green tea extract can significantly reduce Fenton-like side effects induced by free ferric ions in the gastric environment, alleviating oxidative stress on bacterial membrane lipids and proteins, thereby improving their acid resistance.

[0014] Secondly, the complex formed by iron ions and green tea extract dissolves gradually in gastric acid, allowing the encapsulated probiotics to be released gradually in the small intestine. This enables the probiotics to maintain their activity in the gut for a longer period of time, achieving targeted release and sustained action from the stomach to the intestine.

[0015] As a further improvement of the present invention, the concentration of trehalose in the inner protective solution is 3% to 8% (w / v), the concentration of mannan oligosaccharide is 0.5% to 2.0% (w / v), the concentration of L-proline is 0.10% to 0.30% (w / v), and the pH is 6.0 to 6.8.

[0016] As a further improvement of the present invention, the particle size of the bacterial microparticles ranges from 150 to 400 μm, and the D90 is 300 ± 50 μm.

[0017] As a further improvement of the present invention, the thickness of the outer encapsulated enteric polymer layer is 0.3–0.6 μm. The present invention, by adopting the above technical solution, has the following beneficial effects: The compound probiotic preparation method provided by this invention solves the problems of poor in vivo stability, activity decline, and short-lasting detoxification effect of traditional probiotic preparations through precise process design, step optimization, and unique excipient structure design. Specifically, it is reflected in key technical aspects such as the embedded structure of L-aspartic acid and carboxylated β-cyclodextrin, metal ion crosslinking, Fe-green tea extract coordination, and multi-level coating. By rationally configuring the preparation and coating process of microparticles, stable release of probiotics is achieved, improving the stability, detoxification effect, and release control of the preparation, thus ensuring the durability of the preparation.

[0018] During the formation of microparticles, L-aspartic acid and carboxylated β-cyclodextrin form a stable embedded structure through a calcium ion cross-linking reaction. This enhances the structural stability of the microparticles, preventing rearrangement or uneven dissolution in the in vivo environment. It solves the problem of reduced activity in traditional probiotic preparations due to the influence of gastric acid, bile, and other environmental factors during use, effectively ensuring that probiotics maintain their proper biological activity after entering the intestines, thus improving the stability and reliability of probiotic preparations.

[0019] Furthermore, the L-aspartic acid molecule contains two carboxyl groups and one amino group, which allows it to react with Ca... 2+ and Zn 2+ Ions form multi-site coordination, thereby constructing a denser and more uniform ion bridge network. Moreover, the geometric symmetry of its two carboxyl groups makes the ion coordination more stable, while the amino terminus can form hydrogen bonds with the hydroxyl groups on the surface of porous corn starch and the carboxyl groups of carboxylated β-cyclodextrin, forming a network structure with flexible connecting segments and stable cross-linking points. This significantly improves the granulation strength and anti-breakage performance of the gel, and also makes the internal channels more interconnected and the specific surface area larger, which is beneficial to the dispersion of carboxylated β-cyclodextrin and the mass transfer and adsorption of plasticizer molecules.

[0020] More importantly, L-aspartic acid, as an amino acid that probiotics can metabolize, can be preferentially absorbed by bacteria after the microcapsules enter the intestinal segment and are used for cell energy restoration and membrane potential reconstruction, thereby significantly improving the bacterial recovery efficiency and subsequent metabolic activity.

[0021] A low-dose, short-time cross-linking method was employed, primarily using calcium and secondarily zinc. The entire process utilized an aqueous phase and low temperature, avoiding the reduction in bacterial survival rate caused by excessive heating or solvent stress, thus maintaining high survival rate and activity of the probiotics. Furthermore, by optimizing the process through pre-dissolving L-aspartic acid and carboxylated β-cyclodextrin in a low-concentration organic solvent, and controlling the pH of the solution after adding porous corn starch, as well as the stirring conditions, the stability of the microparticles was maintained while avoiding dissolution or rearrangement due to excessive cross-linking. This ensured that the probiotics maintained high survival rate and biological activity throughout the entire preparation process.

[0022] A stable coordination complex is formed by the binding of iron ions with the phenolic hydroxyl groups in green tea extract molecules. This coordination complex not only improves the physical structure of the particles but also provides an additional protective barrier for probiotics, thereby significantly enhancing the survival rate and activity stability of the bacteria in the complex in vivo environment.

[0023] The product employs a layered structure consisting of a composite inner layer of chitosan and pectin, a main layer of enteric polymer, and / or a porous hydrophobic thin layer. This structure enhances the resistance of probiotics in the gastric environment, enabling them to effectively pass through the stomach and achieve controlled release in the small intestine, thus ensuring maximum effectiveness in the gut.

Observation of colony growth in the petri dishes confirmed that no colonies were observed, and the final determination was that the fungal and microbial contamination rate was negative.

[0067] All examples and comparative examples tested negative for bacteria.

[0068] 2. Moisture content test method Take a certain amount of the microbial sample and dry it in a constant temperature drying oven at 105℃ for 6 hours until constant weight. Calculate the moisture content by weighing the difference. If the calculation result shows that the moisture content is less than 5%, the moisture content is considered to meet the requirements.

[0069] 3. Method for testing the survival rate of viable bacteria after rehydration First, a certain amount of lyophilized sample is taken and rehydrated with sterile physiological saline. The volume of the rehydrated liquid is 10 times the mass of the lyophilized sample. Then, the plate count method is used to count the colonies and obtain the viable bacterial survival rate after rehydration. If the viable bacterial survival rate after rehydration is higher than 90%, it indicates that the rehydrated microparticles can maintain high activity.

[0070] 4. Simulated gastric and intestinal fluid testing methods The simulated gastric juice was prepared using a hydrochloric acid solution with a pH of 2.0. The particulate samples were reacted with the gastric juice at 37°C for 2 hours, followed by plate counting.

[0071] The reaction was carried out at 37°C for 4 hours using simulated intestinal fluid (sodium bicarbonate and disodium hydrogen phosphate solution with a pH of 7.5), followed by plate counting.

[0072] 5. In vitro adsorption-removal kinetics test Prepare a solution of DEHP and DBP in a water-ethanol mixture (5% ethanol by volume) to a concentration of 10 mg·L⁻¹. -1 Each sample was added to an equivalent viable bacterial count of 1×10⁻⁶. 9 CFU / sample or equivalent particulate matter (0.50 g·100 mL) -1 The mixture was incubated at 37°C with gentle shaking (80 rpm) for 4 hours. The supernatant was collected by centrifugation and quantified by solid-phase microextraction-GC / MS, with blank self-adsorption subtracted.

[0073]

[0074] The test results above show that the compound probiotic preparations obtained in Examples 1-3 of this invention were negative for fungal and microbial contamination, and the moisture content remained stable at around 4%, indicating that the preparation process was hygienic, reliable, and thoroughly dried. The survival rate of live bacteria after rehydration in each example was higher than 90%, significantly higher than that of Comparative Example 3 (66.8%), which uses a traditional freeze-dried bacterial powder. This demonstrates that the present invention significantly improves the bacterial survival rate during freeze-drying and rehydration through the dual protection of the inner protective liquid and the functional gel precursor.

[0075] In tests using simulated gastric fluid (pH 2.0, 2h) and simulated intestinal fluid (pH 7.5, 4h), the cell survival rates of Examples 1-3 were between 68.5% and 71.2% and 93.6% and 95.8%, respectively, while those of Comparative Example 3 were only 18.5% and 54.2%, demonstrating that the encapsulation system of this invention exhibits excellent acid resistance and high release rate in the intestinal segment under gastric acid conditions. In particular, the microparticles containing the L-aspartic acid and carboxylated β-cyclodextrin complex effectively stabilized the gel network through their multi-point coordination structure, and also contributed to the absorption of green tea extract—Fe 3+ The surface composite layer significantly slows down acidic dissociation and enzymatic degradation.

[0076] In terms of plasticizer adsorption and removal performance, the DEHP and DBP removal rates of Example 2 reached 72.4% and 69.1%, respectively, which were higher than those of Example 1 (65.2% and 62.8%) and all comparative examples. In Comparative Example 1, after replacing L-aspartic acid with sodium alginate, the DEHP removal rate decreased to 38.7%, indicating that L-aspartic acid not only participates in ionic cross-linking in the composite network but also enhances the interfacial adsorption capacity of plasticizers through the synergistic effect of amino-carboxyl groups. In Comparative Example 2, after replacing green tea extract with tannic acid, the removal rate decreased to 59.3%, indicating that epigallocatechin and catechin gallate, which are abundant in green tea extract, play a crucial role in constructing stable Fe... 3+ The coordination layer plays a crucial role in maintaining antioxidant protection.
