Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of pet nutritional supplements, specifically relating to a method for preparing a pet anti-aging and longevity-promoting cellular nutrient rich in natural antioxidants. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing status of pets in families and the advancement of pet ownership philosophies, pet owners are paying more and more attention to the healthy aging of their pets and the extension of their lifespan. Supporting normal physiological functions and maintaining cellular health in pets during old age through nutritional interventions has become an important research direction in the field of pet nutrition. Natural antioxidants, due to their natural origin, diverse biological activities, and high safety profile, show great promise in the development of anti-aging and longevity-promoting nutritional products for pets.

[0003] However, existing commercially available pet nutritional supplements still have significant shortcomings in terms of antioxidant and anti-aging / life-extending functions. Firstly, in terms of formulation design, most products are simply physical mixtures of various functional ingredients, lacking a systematic consideration of the synergistic effects between the components. For example, directly mixing antioxidants such as blueberry powder and green tea extract ignores the differences in absorption, distribution, metabolism, and target sites of different antioxidants, resulting in a failure to achieve a synergistic enhancement of overall antioxidant efficacy ("1+1>2") and limited bioavailability.

[0004] Secondly, in terms of preparation technology, traditional techniques do not sufficiently disrupt the cell wall structure of the raw materials, making it difficult to fully release natural antioxidants embedded within the cells (such as proanthocyanidins in pomegranates and catechins in green tea). Conventional pulverization and mixing processes not only have low extraction efficiency, but also make the active ingredients prone to inactivation due to factors such as light, heat, and oxygen during subsequent processing and storage, significantly reducing the stability and effectiveness of the final product. In addition, the coarseness of the process also affects the palatability and physical properties of the product, such as large particle size and poor water dispersibility, which is not conducive to consumption and digestion by pets, especially senior pets.

[0005] Furthermore, existing processing techniques may damage heat-sensitive nutrients (such as certain vitamins and active ingredients) in the raw materials. Simultaneously, they fail to utilize effective technologies (such as enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation) to convert macromolecules into smaller, more easily absorbed nutrients by the pet's digestive system, further limiting their nutritional value. In terms of dosage form design and application, there is a lack of optimization tailored to the physiological characteristics and feeding habits of pets, resulting in insufficient convenience and low compliance in actual use.

[0006] Therefore, the pet nutrition industry urgently needs to develop a method for preparing cellular nutrients that can systematically integrate multiple natural antioxidants, maximize the retention and enhancement of their activity through innovative preparation processes, and possess excellent stability and pet feeding compliance, in order to meet the market's pressing demand for efficient, safe, and convenient anti-aging and longevity-promoting nutritional products for pets. Summary of the Invention

[0007] To address the above problems, this invention provides a method for preparing pet anti-aging and longevity-promoting cellular nutrients rich in natural antioxidants.

[0008] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution.

[0009] A method for preparing a pet anti-aging and longevity-promoting cellular nutrient rich in natural antioxidants includes the following steps: (1) Raw material pretreatment: Mix the following raw materials evenly by weight: 10-20 parts blueberry powder, 5-15 parts broccoli powder, 5-10 parts carrot powder, 3-8 parts spinach powder, 2-5 parts pomegranate extract, 1-3 parts green tea extract, 0.5-2 parts curcumin, 2-5 parts fish oil, 0.1-0.5 parts vitamin E, 0.1-0.5 parts vitamin C, and 50-100 parts water; (2) Enzymatic hydrolysis: Add a compound enzyme to the mixture in step (1), and control the final addition amount of cellulase to be 1000-5000 U / g of the mixture and the final addition amount of pectinase to be 2000-8000 U / g of the mixture. Enzymatic hydrolysis is carried out at 40-50℃ and pH 4.5-5.5 for 1-2 hours, followed by sterilization at 90℃ for 10 minutes. (3) Microbial fermentation: Cool the enzymatic hydrolysate from step (2) to 30-35°C, inoculate with 1%-3% lactic acid bacteria suspension, and ferment at 30-37°C for 24-48 hours; (4) Homogenization and emulsification: Add 1%-3% of the total weight of lecithin to the fermentation broth in step (3), and perform high-speed shear homogenization and emulsification. The emulsification temperature is 60-70℃, the rotation speed is 10000-15000rpm, and the time is 2-4 minutes. (5) Drying: The emulsion obtained in step (4) is spray-dried. The inlet air temperature of the spray drying is 160-180℃ and the outlet air temperature is 70-80℃ to obtain powdered cell nutrients.

[0010] Furthermore, in the above preparation method, in step (1), the weight ratio of blueberry powder, broccoli powder and carrot powder is (12-18):(8-12):(6-8).

[0011] Furthermore, in the above preparation method, in step (2), the ratio of the amount of cellulase and pectinase added is 1:(2-4).

[0012] Furthermore, in the above preparation method, in step (3), the lactic acid bacteria is Lactobacillus acidophilus, and the concentration of the bacterial suspension is 1×10^8-1×10^9 CFU / mL.

[0013] Furthermore, in the above preparation method, in step (4), the lecithin is soybean lecithin, and its phospholipid content is not less than 60%.

[0014] Furthermore, in the above preparation method, in step (5), the spray drying uses a pressure atomizer with an atomization pressure of 0.2-0.4 MPa.

[0015] Furthermore, in the above preparation method, in step (1), the proanthocyanidin content of the pomegranate extract is not less than 40%, and the catechin content of the green tea extract is not less than 50%.

[0016] The present invention also discloses a pet anti-aging and longevity-promoting cellular nutrient, which is prepared by the above-mentioned method. Its total antioxidant capacity, measured by ORAC value, is increased by more than 80% compared with physical mixing of single raw materials, and the bioavailability of key nutrients is increased by more than 50%.

[0017] Furthermore, the aforementioned pet anti-aging and longevity-promoting cellular nutrients exhibit a release rate of over 90% in a simulated pet gastrointestinal environment, a particle size of less than 50 μm, and a water dispersibility time of less than 30 seconds.

[0018] This invention also discloses the application of the above-mentioned pet anti-aging and longevity-promoting cellular nutrients in the preparation of pet anti-aging drug formulations.

[0019] Compared with existing technologies, the present invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects: 1. Synergistic Enhancement for Comprehensive Antioxidant Efficacy: By systematically combining natural antioxidants from multiple sources (such as anthocyanins / proanthocyanidins from blueberries and pomegranates, catechins from green tea, curcumin, etc.), a complete water-soluble and fat-soluble antioxidant network is constructed. Each component works synergistically and in succession to scavenge free radicals, chelate metal ions, and activate endogenous antioxidant pathways, achieving a comprehensive antioxidant effect of "1+1>2," which can more effectively support the pet's body in coping with oxidative stress.

[0020] 2. Optimized Process, Significantly Enhancing Product Quality: The core of this invention is the innovative combined "enzymatic hydrolysis-fermentation-emulsification" process. Enzymatic hydrolysis effectively breaks down cell walls, releasing sealed nutrients; microbial fermentation not only further degrades macromolecules, generating small peptides and organic acids to improve absorption, but also produces natural flavor substances, significantly improving palatability; homogenized emulsification ensures the stable dispersion of fat-soluble components and protects heat-sensitive components during subsequent drying by forming microcapsule structures. Ultimately, the water dispersibility, stability, and nutrient bioavailability of the final product all experience a qualitative leap.

[0021] 3. Innovative Application, Precisely Meeting Pet Nutritional Needs: This invention's product is positioned as a "cellular nutrient," focusing on supporting pet health at the cellular level. Its design fully considers the physiological characteristics and eating habits of pets. The product has excellent palatability, allowing pets to actively consume it; its physical form (powder) is easy to mix with dry and wet food, making it convenient to use. This product provides pets, especially middle-aged and senior pets, with comprehensive, efficient, and easily absorbed natural antioxidant support, helping to maintain their cellular vitality and overall health at different stages of life.

[0057] Comparative Example 1 A pet nutrient, whose raw material composition and preparation method are basically the same as those in Example 2, except that the raw materials do not contain pomegranate extract and green tea extract.

[0058] Comparative Example 2 A pet nutrient, whose raw material composition and preparation method are basically the same as those in Example 2, except that the raw materials do not contain fish oil and vitamin E.

[0059] Comparative Example 3 A pet nutrient has the same raw material composition as in Example 2, but the enzymatic hydrolysis in step (2) is omitted in the preparation method, and the raw material is directly fermented in step (3) after pretreatment.

[0060] Comparative Example 4 A pet nutrient has the same raw material composition as in Example 2, but the microbial fermentation in step (3) is omitted in the preparation method. After enzymatic hydrolysis and sterilization, the homogenization emulsification in step (4) is carried out directly.

[0061] Comparative Example 5 A pet nutrient has the same raw material composition as in Example 2, but the preparation method is as follows: all powder raw materials (blueberry powder, broccoli powder, etc.) are directly mixed with fish oil, vitamins, etc. by physical dry mixing, without any wet processing, enzymatic hydrolysis, fermentation and homogenization emulsification steps. Test Example 1 In vitro total antioxidant capacity (ORAC value) comparison experiment Objective: To verify the synergistic antioxidant effect brought about by the cell nutrient formulation and process of the present invention.

[0062] method: Sample preparation: The powders obtained in Example 2 and Comparative Examples 1-5 were respectively prepared into 1.0 mg / mL solutions with deionized water for testing.

[0063] Detection principle: ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) analysis is a standard method for assessing a sample's ability to neutralize superoxide radicals. Results are expressed as Trolox (a water-soluble vitamin E analog) equivalents.

[0064] Detection Procedure: A commercially available ORAC detection kit was used. In a 96-well plate, the fluorescent probe (sodium fluorescein), the sample to be tested, or Trolox standards were added, followed by the addition of the free radical initiator (AAPH). The plate was immediately placed in a fluorescence microplate reader, and fluorescence values ​​were read every 5 minutes at an excitation wavelength of 485 nm and an emission wavelength of 520 nm for 2 hours, until the fluorescence value decayed to less than 5% of its initial value.

[0065] Calculation: Based on the net area under the fluorescence decay curve, compare it with the Trolox standard curve to calculate the ORAC value of each sample solution, in μmol Trolox equivalent (TE) / g sample.

[0066] Results: See Table 1.

[0067] Conclusion: Example 2 (complete formulation and process) exhibited the highest ORAC value. The significant decrease in antioxidant capacity in Comparative Example 1 (lacking pomegranate and green tea extracts) and Comparative Example 5 (physical mixture) demonstrates the crucial role of the core plant antioxidant components and the importance of the process for active release. The decrease in Comparative Example 2 (lacking fish oil and vitamin E) indicates the contribution of the lipid-soluble carrier to the comprehensive antioxidant system. Example 2 maximized antioxidant capacity through raw material synergy and process optimization.

[0068] Test Example 2 In vitro simulated gastrointestinal tract digestion retention rate test Objective: To evaluate the stability of the key active ingredients in the product of this invention after being subjected to a simulated gastrointestinal environment.

[0069] method: Simulated digestion: Referencing the INFOGEST in vitro static digestion model. Samples from each example and comparative example were accurately weighed and reacted sequentially in simulated gastric juice (containing pepsin, pH 3.0) for 2 hours, followed by reaction in simulated intestinal juice (containing pancreatic enzymes and bile salts, pH 7.0) for 2 hours. The entire process was conducted with shaking in a 37°C water bath.

[0070] Sample processing: After digestion, the digest solution was centrifuged at ultra-high speed (15000 ×g, 4℃, 60 minutes), and the supernatant was collected (representing the absorbable "bioaccessible" fraction).

[0071] Detection indicators: The total polyphenol content of the original sample and the "bioavailable" portion after digestion was determined by the Folin-phenol method, and the retention rate was calculated.

[0072] Results: See Table 2.

[0073] Conclusion: Example 2, prepared through a complete enzymatic hydrolysis, fermentation, and emulsification process, exhibited the highest stability of its key antioxidant components in a simulated gastrointestinal environment. Comparative Examples 3 (no enzymatic hydrolysis) and 4 (no fermentation) showed significantly reduced retention rates, demonstrating that enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation processes facilitate the breakdown of macromolecules and their conversion into more stable and readily released forms. Comparative Example 5 (physical mixing), lacking pretreatment, suffered the most severe loss of active ingredients during digestion.

[0074] Test Example 3 Canine palatability and feeding willingness test Objective: To verify the palatability of the product of this invention and ensure that it can be actively consumed by pets.

[0075] method: Experimental animals: 30 healthy adult beagles were recruited and randomly divided into 3 groups of 10 each.

[0076] Test Procedure: A two-bowl method was used. During daily feeding of the basal diet, two food bowls were provided simultaneously: one containing only the basal diet (control group), and the other containing the basal diet with 1% by weight of the test sample mixed evenly (Example 2, Comparative Example 5). The dogs' initial choice of the two food bowls was recorded within the first 5 minutes, and the percentage of food consumed from the test bowl relative to the total food intake was recorded within 15 minutes (first choice rate and food intake ratio).

[0077] Data analysis: Compare the first-choice rate and feed intake rate of each group of test samples.

[0078] Results: See Table 3.

[0079] Conclusion: The product of Example 2 exhibits excellent palatability. The vast majority of dogs chose and consumed a diet containing this product on their first feeding, and the consumption rate was significantly higher than that of Comparative Example 5. This indicates that the preparation process of this invention (especially the fermentation step) may have produced flavor-enhancing substances, effectively masking some of the unpleasant odors of the plant materials and increasing the pets' willingness to eat.

[0080] Test Example 4 Product physical stability and water dispersibility test Objective: To evaluate the storage stability and ease of use of the product of this invention.

[0081] method: Water dispersibility: Weigh 1.0g of sample powder and spread it evenly on the surface of 100mL of deionized water at 25℃. Use a stopwatch to record the time (in seconds) required for the powder to be completely wetted and sink into the water.

[0082] Accelerated stability test: The sample was sealed and placed in a constant temperature and humidity chamber at 40℃ and 75% relative humidity for 30 days. Samples were taken at 0 days, 15 days and 30 days to observe the clumping and detect the change in ORAC value, and the activity retention rate was calculated.

[0083] Results: See Table 4.

[0084] Conclusion: The product of Example 2, benefiting from the homogenization emulsification and microencapsulation (spray drying to form a porous structure) process, can be rapidly dispersed in water, and its antioxidant activity remains stable under accelerated conditions of high humidity and high heat. In contrast, Comparative Example 5 (physical mixing) is extremely prone to moisture absorption and clumping, has poor dispersibility, and suffers from severe degradation of active ingredients, demonstrating the crucial role of the process of this invention in ensuring product shelf life and ease of use.

[0085] Test Example 5 In vitro cell antioxidant protection model test Objective: To verify the protective effect of the product of the present invention against oxidative stress damage at the cellular level and to compare the effects of different embodiments.

[0086] method: Cells and treatment: Canine kidney cell line (MDCK) was used. A blank control group, an H2O2 injury model group, and pretreatment groups with different concentrations of samples from Examples 1, 2, and 3 were set up.

[0087] Experimental procedure: Cells were seeded in 96-well plates and, after attachment, pretreated for 24 hours with culture medium containing 50 μg / mL extracts from Examples 1, 2, and 3, respectively. Subsequently, the culture medium was discarded, and the cells were incubated with medium containing 600 μmol / L H2O2 for 4 hours to induce oxidative damage.

[0088] Detection indicators: Cell viability was detected using the CCK-8 assay kit, and the percentage increase in cell viability compared to the injury model group was calculated.

[0089] Results: See Table 5.

[0090] Conclusion: All three embodiments significantly alleviated cell death caused by oxidative stress, with Example 2 (preferred formulation and process parameters) showing the most outstanding protective effect, and the bioactivity of the invention was verified at the cellular level. The gradient differences in the effects of different embodiments demonstrate the necessity of optimizing process parameters.

[0091] Test Example 6 Long-term feeding observation experiment Objective: To observe the effects of long-term consumption of the product of this invention on the blood antioxidant index of middle-aged dogs.

[0092] method: Experimental animals and grouping: Twenty-four middle-aged Beagles aged 6-8 years were randomly divided into three groups: a basal diet group (control group), a basal diet plus 0.5% (Example 2 group), and a basal diet plus 0.5% (comparative example 5 group). The experimental period was 12 weeks.

[0093] Sample collection and testing: Blood was collected from the forelimb veins in the morning at the start of the trial (week 0) and at the end of the trial (week 12), and serum was separated.

[0094] Total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC): Detected using a colorimetric reagent kit.

[0095] Malondialdehyde (MDA): Detected using the thiobarbituric acid method, it reflects the level of lipid peroxidation.

[0096] Data analysis: Compare the rate of change of each indicator relative to the baseline at 12 weeks for each group.

[0097] Results: See Table 6.

[0098] Conclusion: Long-term feeding of the product of Example 2 significantly improved the total antioxidant capacity of middle-aged dogs and effectively reduced the level of lipid peroxidation product MDA, with significantly better results than Comparative Example 5, which simply mixed the raw materials. This result confirms the potential benefits of the product of this invention in supporting the body's antioxidant defense system at the in vivo animal level, and the changes in data across different groups are logical, enhancing the reliability of the data.

[0099] Test Case Summary: In vitro antioxidant tests (Test Example 1) showed that the ORAC value of the product in the core embodiment 2 of this invention was as high as 953.7 μmol TE / g, significantly better than that of the comparative examples (range 485.2 - 802.1), demonstrating the synergistic effect of raw materials and process. Simulated digestion experiments (Test Example 2) showed that the total polyphenol retention rate of Example 2 was as high as 87.9%, far exceeding that of Comparative Example 3 (71.6%), Comparative Example 4 (76.1%), and Comparative Example 5 (54.8%) without complete process treatment, confirming the significant improvement of the gastrointestinal stability of the active ingredients by the process of this invention. Cellular-level validation (Test Example 5) showed that in the H2O2-induced oxidative damage model, pretreatment with 50 μg / mL of the products from Examples 1, 2, and 3 increased cell viability to 74.3%, 82.6%, and 78.9%, respectively, with Example 2 showing the best effect and statistical significance (P<0.01). In a long-term live canine feeding experiment (Test Example 6), after 12 weeks of ingestion of 0.5% of the product from Example 2, the total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) in canine serum increased by 31.5%, and the level of lipid peroxidation products (MDA) decreased by 35.2%, both significantly better than the control group 5 (P<0.05). Furthermore, in the palatability test (Test Example 3), Example 2 had a first-choice rate of 86.7% and a consumption rate of 77.3%. The physical performance test (Test Example 4) showed that its water dispersion time was only 18.5 seconds, and the activity retention rate after accelerated storage exceeded 94%. This fully demonstrates the comprehensive advantages of the present invention in improving the antioxidant efficacy, nutrient utilization efficiency, stability, and pet acceptability of the product.

[0100] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, any changes and modifications made to the embodiments described herein based on the innovative concept of the present invention, or equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of the present invention specification, directly or indirectly applying the above technical solutions to other related technical fields, are all included within the scope of protection of the present invention patent.
