Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of food processing technology, specifically relating to a functional steamed bun made from oats fermented with Monascus purpureus and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Oats are a low-sugar, high-energy food, rich in dietary fiber, fat, protein, and vitamins. They also contain functional substances such as beta-glucan, linoleic acid, and lysine, and long-term consumption can lower cholesterol and blood lipids.

[0003] Monascus purpureus has been used in my country for over 1000 years as a traditional fermentation fungus, producing pigments and a unique flavor during fermentation. Its metabolites include monascus pigment and Monacolin K, with Monacolin K being a functional metabolite that helps lower cholesterol and blood lipids. Monacolin K exists in two forms: acidic and lactone. Acidic Monacolin K can be used directly to lower lipids without increasing the metabolic burden on the liver and kidneys, but it is only found in natural red-region fermentation products.

[0004] Steamed buns are a popular food in my country, and in many parts of the country they are a staple food. However, as people pay more and more attention to their health, ordinary steamed buns can no longer meet their needs. Summary of the Invention

Step 3: Inoculate the Monascus purpureus seed culture, which has been cultured for 48-96 h, into the oat culture medium prepared in Step 2 at a rate of 10-25% v / w (by weight of oats). After inoculation, ferment for 2-3 days at an ambient temperature of 30-32 ℃ and a humidity of 75-80%. Then, inoculate the Acetic Acid Bacteria culture at a rate of 3-5% v / w (by weight of oats) and ferment for 1-2 days at an ambient temperature of 30-32 ℃. Finally, ferment for 15-25 days at an ambient temperature of 24-26 ℃ and a humidity of 75-80%. Step 4: After fermentation, place the fermented oats in an oven at 50-60 ℃ and dry for 12-16 hours. After grinding, pass the oats through a 100-mesh sieve to obtain red yeast fermented oat flour.

[0010] Preferably, the raw material formula of the Monascus purpureus seed culture medium includes the following raw materials by mass percentage: 4-8% w / v glucose, 2-3% w / v peptone, 2-3% w / v soluble starch, and the remainder is RO water.

Step 5: Steaming the buns Steam at 95-100 ℃ for 20-30 minutes.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1) This invention is the first to use pasteurized acetic acid bacteria in the production of pasta. Innovatively, during the oat fermentation process, through the synergistic fermentation of Monascus purpureus and pasteurized acetic acid bacteria, the content of acidic Monacolin K produced by fermentation can be increased while the content of lactone-type Monacolin K can be decreased while the total amount of Monacolin remains basically unchanged. This can reduce the risk of liver and kidney damage to consumers that may be caused by the introduction of metabolic lactone-type Monacolin K into steamed buns through oats.

[0017] 2) This invention employs a two-stage fermentation method in the steamed bun making process: "warm fermentation for activation followed by cold fermentation for maturation." The prolonged low-temperature fermentation promotes full hydrolysis of the flour, producing more amino acids and flavor substances, resulting in an exceptionally delicate, moist, and elastic texture in the steamed buns, with a rich wheat aroma similar to that of sourdough.

[0021] Table 1. Monacolin K content in oats fermented with Monascus purpureus in solid-state fermentation.

[0022]

[0023] Table 1 shows that different inoculum amounts of *Monascus purpureus* and *Acetobacter pasteurization* affect the content of lactone-type and acid-type *Monacolin K* after solid-state fermentation by *Monascus purpureus*. When the inoculum amounts of *Monascus purpureus* and *Acetobacter pasteurization* are 8% and 1%, respectively, the weight of *Monacolin K* remains basically unchanged, but the content of acid-type *Monacolin K* is the highest, and the content of lactone-type *Monacolin K* is the lowest. Therefore, in this invention, based on the weight of oats, the inoculum amount of *Monascus purpureus* seed culture is 20% v / w, and the inoculum amount of *Acetobacter pasteurization* culture is 2.5% v / w.

[0024] Table 2. Summary of Raw Material Ratios and Process Parameters for Solid-State Fermentation of Oat Buns with Monascus purpureus

[0025] Table 3. Effects of different processes on the quality of steamed buns

[0026] As shown in Table 3, Examples 1 and 2 employ the method of the present invention, namely, a two-stage fermentation method of "warm fermentation for activation, followed by cold fermentation for maturation," with the temperature controlled at 37°C for the first fermentation and 4°C for the second. Examples 3 and 4, however, use the traditional method, with both fermentation temperatures at 37°C. Comparison shows that the steamed buns prepared by the method of the present invention have significantly lower hardness than those prepared by the traditional method, while exhibiting significantly higher elasticity and resilience. Therefore, the two-stage fermentation method of "warm fermentation for activation, followed by cold fermentation for maturation" employed in the present invention can significantly improve the edible quality of the steamed buns.
