Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of nanocapsule technology, specifically to plant root-directed nanocapsules based on animal amino acids and their preparation methods. Background Technology
[0002] Plant growth and development depend on a comprehensive supply of nutrients, among which nitrogen is a key component of proteins, nucleic acids, and chlorophyll. Traditional nitrogen fertilizers are mainly applied to the soil in inorganic forms (such as urea and ammonium salts), but their utilization rate is generally low. Most of the nitrogen is lost through volatilization, leaching, and denitrification, resulting not only in resource waste but also in serious non-point source pollution and a series of environmental problems such as eutrophication of water bodies. Amino acids, as small-molecule organic nitrogen sources, can be directly and rapidly absorbed and utilized by plant roots, participating in various physiological metabolic processes. Their absorption efficiency is far higher than that of inorganic nitrogen fertilizers, and they can also stimulate plant growth and enhance stress resistance. At the same time, my country's livestock industry produces a large number of dead livestock and poultry every year. To achieve harmless treatment and resource utilization of these animals, our company's patent CN111375618A discloses a harmless amino acid-containing aqueous solution for dead livestock and poultry and its preparation method.
[0003] Based on this, the present invention provides a plant root-directed nanocapsule based on animal amino acids and its preparation method, thereby realizing the resource utilization of animal amino acids, which is of great significance. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a plant root-directed nanocapsule based on animal amino acids and its preparation method, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: The preparation method of plant root-directed nanocapsules based on animal amino acids includes the following steps: S1: Chitosan is grafted with cinnamaldehyde and then grafted with lactide to obtain a modified chitosan-polylactic acid graft copolymer. S2: After the modified chitosan-polylactic acid graft copolymer is coated with animal amino acids, it is activated by adding EDC aqueous solution, and then it is grafted with animal amino acids to obtain plant root-guided nanocapsules based on animal amino acids.
[0006] Further, the specific process of S1 is as follows: (1) Under nitrogen and light-protected conditions, chitosan and cinnamaldehyde are added to 1-allyl-3-chloromethylimidazolium, respectively, and stirred and mixed evenly at 70~80℃ to prepare chitosan solution and cinnamaldehyde solution, which are kept warm for later use; (2) Under nitrogen and light-protected conditions, acetic acid is added to chitosan solution, stirred and mixed evenly, and then cinnamaldehyde solution is slowly added dropwise to it. The addition is completed within 1 hour. After the addition is completed, the reaction is stirred for 6~12 hours. h, to obtain a modified chitosan solution; (3) under nitrogen and light-proof conditions, add lactide to the modified chitosan solution, stir and mix evenly at 110~120℃, then add stannous octoate, keep warm and stir for 12~24h, end the reaction, let it cool naturally to room temperature, add excess anhydrous ethanol, let stand overnight, collect the precipitate, wash with anhydrous ethanol 2~3 times, and finally vacuum dry at 55~65℃ to obtain the modified chitosan-polylactic acid graft copolymer.
[0007] Further, the modified chitosan-polylactic acid graft copolymer comprises the following raw material components in parts by weight: 6-10 parts chitosan, 0.5-1 part cinnamaldehyde, 50-70 parts 1-allyl-3-chloromethylimidazolium, 2-2.5 parts acetic acid, 12-24 parts lactide, and 0.2-0.4 parts stannous octoate.
[0008] Furthermore, all raw material components of the modified chitosan-polylactic acid graft copolymer need to be vacuum dried overnight at 55~65°C.
[0009] The preparation of the modified chitosan-polylactic acid graft copolymer of the present invention requires strict control of the water content of the raw material components. The reasons are: (1) If water affects the Schiff base reaction between chitosan and cinnamaldehyde, the reaction process will be slowed down, the degree of graft modification of the product will be lower, and even cinnamaldehyde will undergo self-oxidation, condensation, etc., which will trigger side reactions; (2) Water will also cause lactide to hydrolyze and open the ring, which will affect the preparation of the modified chitosan-polylactic acid graft copolymer.
[0010] Furthermore, the degree of deacetylation of the chitosan is 85-95%, and the molecular weight is ≥100,000.
[0011] The proposed method should select chitosan with a degree of deacetylation of 85-95%, as it has a higher amino content, providing more grafting sites and thus improving the grafting rate. The molecular weight should be controlled above 100,000. If the molecular weight is too low, the modified chitosan-polylactic acid graft copolymer will have a looser entanglement, resulting in faster release of animal amino acids from the subsequent nanocapsules and poor sustained-release properties. If the molecular weight is too high, the entanglement will be too dense, resulting in a longer degradation time for the subsequent nanocapsules and preventing them from acting on the plant roots in a timely manner. Therefore, the preferred molecular weight of chitosan is 100,000 to 200,000.
[0012] This invention first uses acetic acid as a catalyst to induce a Schiff base reaction between the aldehyde group of cinnamaldehyde and the amino group of chitosan, thus completing the initial modification of chitosan. Then, using stannous octoate as a catalyst, lactide is subjected to ring-opening polymerization on the modified chitosan to prepare a modified chitosan-polylactic acid graft copolymer. Since the entire preparation process requires heating, the preparation must be carried out under nitrogen and light-protected conditions to protect cinnamaldehyde as much as possible.
[0013] Further, the specific process of S2 is as follows: (1) Under nitrogen and light-protected conditions, the modified chitosan-polylactic acid graft copolymer is added to dichloromethane, stirred and mixed evenly, and then an animal amino acid aqueous solution is added and stirred and mixed evenly to obtain a mixed primary emulsion; (2) Under nitrogen and light-protected conditions, an emulsifier is added to (1), and stirred and mixed at a speed of 500~600 rpm for 2~5 min, and then the speed is adjusted to 200~400 rpm, and stirred and mixed under ventilation conditions for 6~12 h to obtain a nanocapsule suspension; (3) Under nitrogen and light-protected conditions, an EDC aqueous solution is added to the nanocapsule suspension, stirred and mixed for 10~30 min, the pH is adjusted to neutral, and then an animal amino acid aqueous solution is added, stirred and mixed for 1~3 h, and finally centrifuged at a speed of 8000~10000 rpm for 10~30 min, the precipitate is collected, washed with deionized water 2~3 times, and freeze-dried at -30~-20℃ to obtain plant root-guided nanocapsules based on animal amino acids.
[0014] Furthermore, the plant root-guided nanocapsules based on animal amino acids comprise the following raw material components in parts by weight: 4-6 parts of modified chitosan-polylactic acid graft copolymer, 20-30 parts of dichloromethane, 8-12 parts of animal amino acid aqueous solution, 0.6-1.2 parts of emulsifier, and 3-6 parts of EDC aqueous solution.
[0015] Furthermore, the animal amino acid aqueous solution is prepared according to the preparation method disclosed in CN111375618A, and the amino acid content is 50~80g / L.
[0016] Furthermore, the emulsifier is a nonionic emulsifier, including either Tween 80 or Span 60.
[0017] Furthermore, the concentration of the EDC aqueous solution is 2~3 mM.
[0018] Furthermore, the plant root-directed nanocapsules based on animal amino acids are prepared by the above preparation method.
[0019] This invention uses a modified chitosan-polylactic acid graft copolymer as the nanocapsule wall material to encapsulate animal amino acids, thereby obtaining nanocapsules. Finally, the nanocapsules are activated with an EDC aqueous solution, so that the -COOH at the end of the polylactic acid chain on the surface of the nanocapsules can also react with the animal amino acids, thereby grafting animal amino acids onto the surface of the nanocapsules, resulting in plant root-guided nanocapsules based on animal amino acids.
[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are: (1) The plant root-oriented nanocapsules based on animal amino acids prepared in this invention have a natural affinity with plant roots, which makes the plant roots have specific adsorption properties. Therefore, in practical applications, they can promote plant root growth and also achieve the enrichment of nutrients into the roots.
[0021] (2) The plant root-guided nanocapsules based on animal amino acids prepared in this invention have a slow-release effect. As polylactic acid is slowly degraded, the internal animal amino acids are slowly released, which is more conducive to the absorption of plant roots. This avoids the release of amino acids too quickly, which would lead to soil eutrophication and affect plant growth, while also avoiding nutrient loss.
[0022] (3) In this invention, cinnamaldehyde is grafted onto chitosan, which can improve the antibacterial properties of chitosan and thus enhance the plant's disease resistance. Detailed Implementation
