Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of food biotechnology, specifically to a highly active fermented astragalus and jujube complex for improving myocardial function, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Myocardial ischemic disease is a major chronic disease that threatens human health worldwide. Its pathogenesis is closely related to myocardial cell hypoxia, energy metabolism disorders, apoptosis, and oxidative stress damage. Astragalus and jujube, as traditional medicinal and edible ingredients, are often used in traditional Chinese medicine to invigorate qi and blood circulation, nourish the heart and calm the mind. Modern pharmacological studies have confirmed that saponins in astragalus (such as verrucoside), flavonoids in jujube (such as 6,8-diglucosylnaringenin), and cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) shared by both can exert cardioprotective effects by regulating myocardial cell signaling pathways, inhibiting oxidative stress, and reducing myocardial cell apoptosis.

[0003] However, the active ingredients in natural astragalus and jujube suffer from low dissolution rates and poor bioavailability. The cAMP content in untreated raw materials is only 0.52±0.03μg / g, the total saponin dissolution rate of astragalus is less than 50%, and the flavonoids in jujube are difficult to release due to cell wall encapsulation. Microbial fermentation is the mainstream technology for enhancing the activity of medicinal and edible raw materials, but existing related technologies mostly use single-strain (such as Lactobacillus plantarum) or binary-strain fermentation, with cAMP enhancement generally less than 12-fold and verbascoside glucoside content less than 0.4mg / g, far from meeting the clinical-grade activity requirements; furthermore, relying on mechanical pulverization or single enzymatic hydrolysis results in a cell wall destruction rate of ≤75%, insufficient release of precursor substances (such as adenosine and saponin precursors), and limited transformation efficiency of the strain.

[0004] Therefore, developing an Astragalus and Jujube fermentation technology that can achieve high activity enrichment, high cell wall disruption efficiency, high stability, and high reproducibility, while clarifying its application scenarios in cardioprotection, is of great significance for promoting the industrialization of functional foods and adjuvant therapeutic drugs. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a highly active fermented astragalus and jujube complex for improving myocardial function, its preparation method, and its application, solving the problems of low enrichment efficiency of active ingredients, incomplete cell wall disruption, and poor product storage stability in existing technologies.

Maintain this stage when adenosine concentration ≤0.5mg / L to promote the proliferation of Bacillus subtilis and Lactobacillus plantarum. 10-36h: Temperature 36-37℃, pH 6.4-6.6, DO 0.5%-1%. When the adenosine concentration is ≥0.8mg / L, this stage is entered, which is the main fermentation stage, and the cAMP synthesis rate is ≥0.37μg / (g・h). 36-60h: Temperature 34-35℃, pH 6.2-6.4, DO < 0.3%, fermentation ends when the content of verbascoside isoflavone glucoside is ≥ 1.8 mg / g; g) Post-processing for product stabilization After fermentation, the mixture was freeze-dried at -50℃ until the moisture content was ≤5%, pulverized and passed through a 100-mesh sieve, and then microencapsulated with 10% (w / w) hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (inlet air temperature 180℃, outlet air temperature 80℃, spray rate 5mL / min) to obtain the fermented astragalus and jujube complex.

[0021] Experiment 1: like Figure 1-2 As shown, this experiment provides a gradient freezing-thawing parameter optimization experiment to determine the optimal combination of freezing and thawing parameters: 1. Experimental Design Five treatment groups were set up, with 100g each of jujube pieces and astragalus slices in each group. Cell damage rate and adenosine content were measured after treatment. The gradient freeze-thaw treatment parameters for each group are shown in the table below: Table 1

[0022] 2. Operating steps (taking Group 4 as an example) Flash freezing: Spread the jujube pieces and astragalus slices evenly on a sterile tray and freeze in an ultra-low temperature freezer at -85℃ for 3 hours; Thawing at room temperature: After removing from the freezer, thaw in a constant temperature incubator at 25°C for 1.5 hours, turning the freezer over every 30 minutes during this period; Repeated processing: Repeat the freeze-thaw process once, then pulverize and test.

[0023] 3. Results Analysis The comparison of cell destruction rate and precursor release amount after freezing and thawing in each group is shown in the table below: Table 2

[0024] As shown in the table above, the optimal parameters are -85℃ freezing for 3 hours and thawing at 25℃ for 1.5 hours, repeated twice. At this time, the cell destruction rate and precursor release amount reach the optimal level, and further increasing the number of times is not cost-effective.

[0025] Experiment 2: This experiment provides verification of the synergistic effect of physical cell disruption and enzymatic hydrolysis, used to verify the synergistic effect of freezing treatment and enzymatic hydrolysis: 1. Experimental Design Group A: Enzymatic hydrolysis only (50℃, pH 5.0, hydrolysis for 2 hours); Group B: Rapid freeze-thaw (optimal parameters from Example 1) + no enzymatic hydrolysis; Group C: Rapid freezing and thawing + compound enzymatic hydrolysis (same as Group A).

[0026] 2. Results Analysis The cell wall disruption rate and cAMP content of each group are shown in the table below: Table 3

[0027] As shown in the table above, gradient freezing-thawing and ternary enzymatic hydrolysis have a significant synergistic effect, and the combined treatment maximizes both cell wall disruption rate and cAMP content.

[0028] Experiment 3: like Figure 3 As shown, this experiment compares the performance of this method with existing technologies to verify the differences: 1. Experimental Design This method group follows the process of group C in Example 2.

[0030] Control group 2: Following the publicly disclosed process, the bacterial strain was adjusted to lactic acid bacteria-Lactobacillus plantarum-Slow-growing rhizobium = 1:1:1, and fermented for 72 hours.

[0031] 2. Results Analysis The cAMP content, active ingredient dissolution, and production efficiency of each group are shown in the table below: Table 4

[0032] As shown in the table above, the present invention is superior to the prior art in terms of cAMP content, dissolution of active ingredients, production efficiency, and product stability.

[0033] Experiment 4: This experiment verifies the effects of quaternary real bacterial strains combined with ternary bacterial strains: Experimental Design: Three strain combinations were set up with a total inoculum of 3.5%, and the characteristic components were detected after fermentation for 45 hours according to the preparation method of the present invention.

[0034] Group A (ternary): Bifidobacterium longum: Bacillus subtilis: Saccharomyces cerevisiae = 2:2:1; Group B (quaternary, this invention): Bifidobacterium longum: Bacillus subtilis: Saccharomyces cerevisiae: Lactobacillus plantarum = 2:2:1:1; Group C (according to Chinese Invention Patent Publication No. CN118216611A): Single Lactobacillus plantarum.

[0035] Results analysis: The results of the comparison between the effects of quaternary real bacterial strains and ternary bacterial strains are shown in the table below: Table 5

[0036] As shown in the table above, the quaternary functional strain compound system is significantly superior to the ternary strain combination and the existing single strain fermentation in all activity indicators, proving the necessity and superiority of strain synergy.

[0037] Experiment 5: This experiment verifies the stability of the microcapsule-encapsulated complex: Experimental Design: The complexes prepared by the method of this invention (Group 1, real bacterial strain + embedding), the unembedded complex (Group 2, real bacterial strain), and the product of Chinese Invention Patent Publication No. CN118216611A (Group 3, bacterial strain unknown) were stored at room temperature in the dark for 3 months, and the cAMP content was measured monthly. The results are shown in the table below: Table 6

[0038] As shown in the table above, the cAMP degradation rate after 3 months of encapsulation using the method of the present invention is only 2.3%, while the degradation rate of the unencapsulated group is 14.8%, and the degradation rate of existing products is 13.7%. Encapsulation treatment significantly improves storage stability; and because the strains used are traceable, the experimental results can be reproduced by third parties.

[0039] Experiment Six: This experiment verifies the cardioprotective effect of the complex prepared in this invention combined with tanshinone extract: Forty SPF-grade male ICR mice were randomly divided into four groups: sham-operated group, model group, the complex group of this invention (150 mg / kg, prepared with real bacterial strain), and the invention + Tanshinone extract group (150 mg / kg complex + 50 mg / kg Tanshinone extract). After coronary artery ligation to establish the model, the mice were administered the complex via gavage for 14 days, and the cardiomyocyte apoptosis rate was measured. The results are shown in the table below: Table 7

[0040] As shown in the table above, the complex of the present invention has a significant cardioprotective effect, and the effect is even better when combined with tanshinone extract.
