Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of microbial fermentation and resource utilization technology, and in particular to a method for fermenting oval pomfret by-products by Clostridium butyricum, as well as the high-value products and applications. Background Technology

[0002] The golden pomfret (Trachinotus ovatus), commonly known as the scad, is an important economically important marine fish. During its processing, byproducts such as the head, bones, fins, scales, and tail are generated, accounting for approximately 35% of the total fish weight. These byproducts are rich in protein. Discarding them indiscriminately not only causes severe environmental pollution but also wastes resources. Currently, research on the processing and utilization of these byproducts is limited, mainly focusing on processing them into fishmeal or further extracting crude enzymes, oils, collagen, or gelatin. However, no research has been reported on using these byproducts as substrates and employing systematic optimization techniques such as response surface methodology to utilize Clostridium butyricum fermentation to achieve high butyric acid production, synergistic generation of medium- and long-chain fatty acids such as valerate and hexanoic acid, while simultaneously significantly enhancing the antioxidant activity of the products.

[0003] Clostridium butyricum is an obligate anaerobic, Gram-positive spore-forming bacillus with significant probiotic properties, widely colonizing the digestive tracts of humans and various animals. Studies have found that in a hypoxic microenvironment, Clostridium butyricum metabolizes and produces short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), primarily butyrate. These SCFAs significantly lower the intestinal pH, creating an acidic environment unfavorable to the colonization of opportunistic pathogens. Simultaneously, Clostridium butyricum exhibits a significant repair effect on intestinal mucosal tissue. Its metabolite, butyrate, serves as an important energy source for intestinal epithelial cell regeneration, accelerating the repair process of damaged tissues by promoting protein synthesis and maintaining cell structural integrity, thus playing a crucial role in maintaining intestinal health in animals.

[0004] However, according to current research, the main metabolites of Clostridium butyricum are butyric acid or shorter-chain acetic acid, propionic acid, and lactic acid. No research has been reported on the fermentation production of longer-chain valeric acid or hexanoic acid by Clostridium butyricum. Furthermore, medium- and short-chain fatty acids such as valeric acid and hexanoic acid have unique regulatory effects on the structure, function, and microbial composition of animal intestines in the aquaculture industry. Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a method for utilizing Clostridium butyricum fermentation of oval pomfret byproducts to produce high-value products and achieve high-value utilization.

[0043] Example 1

[0044] To develop a high-efficiency fermentation medium based on pomfret byproducts, it is first necessary to determine the types and optimal ratios of key nutrients (carbon and nitrogen sources) to be added to the initial medium prepared from the byproducts. To this end, single-factor and response surface methodology experiments were designed to screen for the optimal supplementary components and fermentation conditions.

[0045] The byproducts of oval pomfret were washed and ground to obtain a dense substance with a particle size of less than 3 mm, which was used as the initial fermentation culture medium.

[0046] 1. Fermentation medium design

[0047] To facilitate efficient screening, a well-defined synthetic fermentation medium was prepared to simulate and screen key components that require exogenous addition in subsequent byproduct fermentation systems. This fermentation medium contained: 10.0 g peptone, 3.0 g yeast extract, 5.0 g glucose, 10.0 g beef meal, 1.0 g soluble starch, 0.5 g L-cysteine ​​hydrochloride, 5.0 g sodium chloride, 3.0 g sodium acetate, and 100 g of byproduct, dissolved in 1000 mL of deionized water and autoclaved at 121°C for 20 min. 2% agar was added to the solid medium.

[0048] The carbon source, nitrogen source, deoxygenating agent, culture temperature, and inoculum size for Clostridium butyricum fermentation were optimized using both single-factor and response surface methodology. The results are as follows:

[0049] 2. Growth curve

Further optimization of maltose concentration revealed that the bacterial count increased with increasing concentration within the range of 5-11 g / L, reaching a maximum of 9.52 × 10⁻⁶ CFU / mL at 11 g / L. 8 CFU / mL; further increases in concentration result in a decrease in bacterial count.

[0055] 4. Nitrogen source optimization results

[0056] The nitrogen sources (peptone, yeast extract, and beef meal) in the fermentation medium were replaced with peptone, yeast extract, beef meal, urea, and ammonium chloride, respectively. Clostridium butyricum was inoculated, fermented, and the bacterial count was measured. Beef meal concentrations of 10 g / L, 12 g / L, 14 g / L, 16 g / L, and 18 g / L were set, and fermentation was carried out, with bacterial count measured.

[0057] Result: As Figure 3 As shown, beef meal was the best nitrogen source, with a bacterial count of 8.8 × 10⁻⁶. 8 CFU / mL. Further concentration optimization showed that the concentration increased with increasing beef meal concentration within the range of 10-14 g / L, reaching a maximum of 9.1 × 10⁻⁶ CFU / mL at 14 g / L. 8 CFU / mL; excessively high concentrations will inhibit growth.

[0058] 5. Results of deoxidizer optimization

[0059] The deoxygenating agents in the fermentation medium were replaced with L-cysteine ​​hydrochloride, ascorbic acid, sodium sulfite, and sodium thioglycolate, respectively. Clostridium butyricum was inoculated, fermented, and the bacterial count was measured. L-cysteine ​​hydrochloride concentrations of 0.3 g / L, 0.5 g / L, 0.7 g / L, 0.9 g / L, and 1.1 g / L were also set for fermentation, and the bacterial count was measured.

[0060] Result: As Figure 4 As shown, L-cysteine ​​hydrochloride was the most effective deoxygenating agent, achieving a bacterial count of 9.2 × 10⁻⁶. 8 CFU / mL. Further concentration optimization resulted in a maximum bacterial count of 9.8 × 10⁻⁶ cells / mL at a deoxygenating agent concentration of 0.7 g / L. 8 CFU / mL.

[0061] 6. Results of Optimization of Culture Temperature

[0062] The culture temperatures were set to 28℃, 31℃, 34℃, 37℃ and 40℃, and the fermentation culture was carried out to detect the cell count.

[0063] Result: As Figure 5 As shown, Clostridium butyricum can grow at a culture temperature of 31-40℃, with 37℃ being the optimal temperature, resulting in the highest bacterial count of 10.2 × 10⁻⁶. 8 CFU / mL.

[0064] 7. Results of Optimized Inoculation Volume

[0065] The inoculum amounts were set to 1%, 3%, 5%, 7%, and 9%, and fermentation culture was carried out to detect the bacterial cell count.

[0066] Result: As Figure 6 As shown, among inoculum amounts of 1-9%, 5% is optimal, achieving a bacterial count of 10.6 × 10⁻⁶. 8 CFU / mL.

[0067] 8 Response Surface Optimization Results

[0068] Results: Plackett-Burman and ramp-up experiments identified three key factors (maltose, beef meal, and inoculum size). Response surface methodology determined the optimal conditions to be: maltose 19.02 g / L, beef meal 18.63 g / L, and inoculum size 1%, at which point the bacterial cell count reached 13.67 × 10⁻⁶. 8 The CFU / mL and T-AOC of 13.56 U / mL were consistent with the model prediction.

[0077] Example 2

[0078] 1. Preparation of by-products and fermentation medium from oval pomfret

[0079] The byproducts of oval pomfret were washed and ground to obtain a dense material with a particle size of less than 3 mm, which was used as the fermentation substrate. The material was sterilized by high-temperature steam at 121℃ for 20 min and dissolved in sterile water at a mass concentration of 100 g / L to prepare the initial fermentation medium.

[0080] 2. Clostridium butyricum fermentation

[0081] Clostridium butyricum was inoculated at a rate of 1% into an optimized culture medium (19.02 g / L maltose, 18.63 g / L beef meal, 0.9 g / L L-cysteine ​​hydrochloride, 5.0 g / L sodium chloride, 3.0 g / L sodium acetate, and 100 g of byproducts), and cultured anaerobicly at 37°C. The Clostridium butyricum culture was then collected.

[0082] Experimental group: The optimal supplement formulation (maltose 19.02 g / L, beef powder 18.63 g / L, L-cysteine ​​hydrochloride 0.9 g / L, sodium chloride 5.0 g / L, sodium acetate 3.0 g / L, by-product 100 g) and process parameters (inoculum 1%, temperature 37℃) obtained by response surface methodology in Example 1 were added to the initial fermentation medium and fermented for 72 hours.

[0083] Control group 1: Clostridium butyricum bacterial culture was inoculated into optimized culture medium without supplementation of by-products at an inoculation rate of 1%, and anaerobic fermented at 37°C for 72 h.

[0084] Control group 2: Take the optimized culture medium and add it to the initial fermentation medium at a volume fraction of 1%, and anaerobic ferment at 37℃ for 72 h.

[0085] Control group 3: Sterile water was added to the initial fermentation medium at a volume fraction of 1%, and anaerobic fermentation was carried out at 37°C for 72 hours.

[0086] 3. Detection and Analysis

[0087] After fermentation, the fermentation broth of the experimental group, the liquid of control group 1, and the fermentation broth of control group 2 and control group 3 were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).

[0088] The chromatographic column was a TraceGOLD TG-WaxMS GC column (30 m × 0.32 mm, 0.25 μm); the carrier gas was helium (purity 99.999%), the flow rate was 1.0 mL / min, the injection was in splitless mode, the injection port temperature was 250℃, and the transfer line temperature was 280℃; the temperature program was as follows: initial temperature 60℃ held for 2 min, increased to 200℃ at 10℃ / min, held for 5 min, then increased to 250℃ at 10℃ / min, held for 2 min.

[0089] The mass spectrometry conditions were: EI source, ion source temperature 230℃, transfer line temperature 250℃, and full scan mode (m / z=30-300).

[0090] 4. Experimental Results

[0091] The total ion current spectra of short-chain fatty acids in the experimental group, control group 1, control group 2, and control group 3 are as follows: Figure 7 Figures a, b, c, and d show the peak area ratios of characteristic ions of SCFAs in the experimental group, control group 1, control group 2, and control group 3. Figure 8 As shown in the figure. Compared with control group 1, under the optimal culture conditions of Clostridium butyricum, the experimental group fermented with oval pomfret by-products as substrates, and the butyric acid content in the fermentation broth increased by 102.5%, while the contents of valeric acid, isovaleric acid, and hexanoic acid also showed significant increases. The contents of butyric acid, valeric acid, isovaleric acid, and hexanoic acid in the fermentation broth of the experimental group were 9.19 g / L, 2.84 g / L, 4.48 g / L, and 3.50 g / L, respectively.

[0092] The above results indicate that using oval pomfret byproducts as a substrate and inoculating Clostridium butyricum can produce high yields of butyric acid, valeric acid, isovaleric acid, and hexanoic acid. The yields are significantly higher than the sum of the fermentation yields of Clostridium butyricum in the optimized medium without supplemented byproducts (control group 1), the fermentation yields of oval pomfret byproducts in the optimized medium (control group 2), and the fermentation yields of oval pomfret byproducts in the initial fermentation medium (control group 3).

[0093] Example 3

[0094] The fermentation method of the experimental group in Example 2 was repeated three times, and three fermentation broths were collected and named experimental group 1, experimental group 2 and experimental group 3, respectively. The fermentation method of control group 1 in Example 2 was repeated three times, and three fermentation broths were collected and named control group 1, control group 2 and control group 3, respectively.

[0095] The above 6 groups of fermentation broth were taken and treated with catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD). The activities of CAT and SOD in experimental groups 1-3 and control groups 1-control groups 3 were detected using catalase (CAT) activity assay kit (Nanjing Jiancheng Bioengineering Institute, A007-1-1) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity assay kit (Nanjing Jiancheng Bioengineering Institute, A001-1-1), respectively.

[0096] The results are as follows Figure 9 As shown, the CAT and SOD activities of experimental groups 1-3 were significantly higher than those of control groups 1-3, indicating that the fermentation broth obtained by fermenting Clostridium butyricum with oval pomfret by-products as substrate has stronger antioxidant capacity; the average CAT and SOD activities of the experimental groups were 16.22 and 22.21 U / mL, respectively.
