Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of food processing technology, specifically relating to a fried mulberry leaf and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Fried mulberry leaves, as a new type of ready-to-eat food, are gaining increasing attention and popularity in the market and among consumers due to the rich content of flavonoids, alkaloids, polysaccharides, polyphenols, and other active ingredients in mulberry leaves, which possess physiological functions such as lowering blood sugar, lowering blood lipids, and anti-oxidation. Currently, most fried mulberry leaves on the market are processed using traditional frying techniques, resulting in a crispy texture and unique flavor, thus possessing certain characteristics of a snack food.
[0003] However, in actual production and consumption, this product still faces several problems that urgently need to be addressed: First, mulberry leaves have a distinct grassy smell, which directly affects the product's flavor acceptance and palatability; second, during high-temperature processing, the chlorophyll in the leaves is easily destroyed, resulting in a dull and less vibrant green color in the finished product, affecting its appearance and consumer appeal; third, many heat-sensitive active substances in mulberry leaves (such as some flavonoids and polyphenols) are easily degraded and lost in the high-temperature frying environment, greatly reducing their nutritional and health benefits; in addition, traditional frying processes easily produce harmful substances such as acrylamide, and long-term intake may pose potential health risks.
[0004] Currently, to address these issues, the industry employs methods such as blanching, soaking in color-protecting agents, and adjusting frying temperature and time. However, these methods have limited effectiveness and often fail to simultaneously achieve the multiple objectives of deodorization, green color retention, preservation of active ingredients, and safety. For example, while high-temperature blanching can partially remove the fishy smell, it exacerbates chlorophyll destruction and loss of active substances; conventional color-protecting treatments may introduce chemical additives, which does not align with the consumer trend towards healthy eating. Therefore, exploring a new technology for processing fried mulberry leaves that can synergistically achieve efficient deodorization, significant color protection, maximum preservation of active ingredients, and inhibition of harmful substance formation has become an important development direction in this field. Summary of the Invention
[0005] Based on this, the purpose of this invention is to provide a new method for preparing fried mulberry leaves, so as to obtain fried mulberry leaves with bright green color, good flavor, less loss of active substances and less accumulation of harmful substances.
[0006] The technical solutions for achieving the above objectives include the following.
[0007] In one aspect, the present invention provides a method for preparing fried mulberry leaves, comprising the following steps:
[0008] (1) Pretreatment: Fresh mulberry leaves were ultrasonically treated in an aqueous solution containing citric acid and magnesium carbonate, and then the mulberry leaves were transferred to an aqueous solution containing spirulina extract and zinc gluconate for soaking.
[0009] (2) Variable temperature cold fermentation: Add Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Lactobacillus plantarum to the mulberry leaves treated in step (1), and pre-ferment at a temperature below 10℃ for 8-36 hours. Then transfer to a temperature of 20℃-30℃, add Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Lactobacillus plantarum, and continue fermentation for 1-3 days. After removing the liquid, add Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Lactobacillus plantarum again, and continue fermentation at a temperature of 10℃-25℃ for 1-3 days.
[0010] (3) Coating with powder and soaking in oil: After the mulberry leaves treated in step (2) are coated with powder and soaked in oil;
[0011] (4) Frying and degreasing: The mulberry leaves treated in step (3) are subjected to plasma treatment and vacuum frying in sequence to obtain fried mulberry leaves; the temperature of vacuum frying is 80℃-100℃.
[0012] Secondly, the present invention provides fried mulberry leaves prepared by the preparation method described in the present invention.
[0013] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] The method for preparing fried mulberry leaves provided by this invention first involves treating fresh mulberry leaves with a pulsed ultrasonic solution containing citric acid and magnesium carbonate, then soaking them in an aqueous solution containing spirulina extract and zinc gluconate. Following this specific pretreatment, the mulberry leaves undergo variable-temperature cold fermentation with *Lactobacillus rhamnosus* and *Lactobacillus plantarum*, combined with plasma-assisted vacuum low-temperature frying. This method significantly removes the grassy smell and preserves the green color, while also significantly reducing the production of harmful substances such as acrylamide during frying and effectively preserving bioactive substances such as polyphenols and flavonoids. The method for preparing fried mulberry leaves provided by this invention effectively removes the grassy smell while resulting in fried mulberry leaves that are bright green, have a good flavor, minimal loss of active substances, low accumulation of harmful substances, low oil content, and a crispy, non-greasy texture.

[0140] (4) Conventional deep frying: Place the mulberry leaves that have been coated with batter and soaked in oil in an oil pan under normal pressure and deep fry at 160°C for 2 minutes. Use a blower to remove any residual oil from the surface and let them cool. No plasma treatment is required.
[0141] Comparative Example 17
[0142] The method for preparing fried mulberry leaves provided in this comparative example is as follows:
[0143] Steps (1), (2) and (3) are the same as in Example 1.
[0144] (4) Vacuum low-temperature frying: The mulberry leaves, after being coated with batter and soaked in oil, are placed in a low-temperature vacuum frying system for frying to obtain fried mulberry leaves. The frying conditions are: temperature 90℃, vacuum degree -0.09 MPa, time 2min. No plasma treatment is required.
[0145] The fried mulberry leaves prepared in Examples 1-9 and Comparative Examples 1-17 were subjected to the following indicators and quality evaluations.
[0146] Determination of fat content: The fat content was determined according to the Soxhlet extraction method in GB 5009.6—2016, "National Food Safety Standard - Determination of Fat in Food". 2 g of fried mulberry leaf sample was weighed, dried, and then extracted with petroleum ether at a boiling range of 30℃~60℃ for 6 h. The sample was then dried at 105℃ to constant weight. The weights before and after defatting were recorded, and the fat content was calculated.
[0147] Acrylamide content determination: Acrylamide content was determined using HPLC-MS. 2 g of fried mulberry leaf sample was weighed into a 50 mL centrifuge tube, and... 13 C3-AA (250 μg / kg) internal standard was added, vortexed for 1 min, then 3 mL of ultrapure water was added. After standing for 20 min, 10 mL of acetonitrile was added, vortexed for 2 min, and centrifuged at 5000 r / min for 5 min. 5.0 mL of the supernatant was transferred to a 15 mL centrifuge tube containing the adsorbent and ultrapure water, vortexed for 1 min, and centrifuged at 5000 r / min for 5 min. 2 mL of the supernatant was transferred to a 10 mL glass test tube, and the volume was reduced to 0.5 mL by blowing with N2 in a 40 ℃ water bath. Then, 1.5 mL of ultrapure water was added to reconstitute the solution, vortexed for 30 s, filtered through a 0.22 μm aqueous filter membrane, and the filtrate was collected in a 1 mL vial for HPLC-MS analysis.
[0148] Polyphenol content determination: Gallic acid was used as a standard, and the polyphenol content in the sample was determined in accordance with GB / T 8313—2018.
[0149] Flavonoid content determination: Using rutin as a standard, the content of flavonoids in the sample was determined in accordance with NY / T 3903-2021.
[0150] Sensory evaluation: A panel of 16 people (8 men and 8 women, aged 22-35) with food-related backgrounds was selected and trained. Sensory evaluation was conducted on aspects such as appearance, color, flavor, texture and taste (see Table 1 for standards).
[0151] The test results are shown in Tables 2-4.
[0152] In Tables 2 and 3, dried mulberry leaves refer to fresh mulberry leaves that have been harvested and sorted and then directly placed in a heat pump dryer and dried at a temperature of 60-65℃ until the moisture content is less than 10%.
[0153] Tables 2-4 show the preparation methods for conventional fried mulberry leaves as follows: After harvesting and sorting, fresh mulberry leaves are directly coated with premixed powder (premixed powder to water mass ratio 1:2), then fried in conventional soybean oil at 150℃ for 1-2 minutes. The residual oil on the surface is blown off with a blower, and the leaves are cooled to obtain the final product.

[0157] Table 2 Results of active substance content determination
[0158]
[0159]
[0160]
[0161]
[0162] Table 2 shows that the content of active substances such as polyphenols and flavonoids in the fried mulberry leaves prepared by the present invention (Examples 1-9) is significantly higher than that in conventional fried mulberry leaves. Under some preferred processes, the content of active substances in the fried mulberry leaves is comparable to, or even higher than, that in dried mulberry leaf samples that have not been fried.
[0163] Compared to Example 1, Examples 2-3 changed the concentrations of citric acid and magnesium carbonate in step (1). The concentrations of citric acid and magnesium carbonate in Example 2 were lower than in Example 1, resulting in a weaker color-protecting effect and a lower content of active substances in the fried mulberry leaves compared to Example 1. While Example 3 had higher concentrations of citric acid and magnesium carbonate, its effect was not superior to Example 1; on the contrary, the content of active substances in the fried mulberry leaves was slightly lower than in Example 1, which may be related to the change in the pH environment provided.
[0164] Spirulina extract and zinc gluconate work synergistically to resist pigment oxidation and also have a certain impact on the content of active substances in fried mulberry leaves. Compared with Example 1, Examples 4 and 5 changed the concentration of spirulina extract and zinc gluconate. The concentration of spirulina extract and zinc gluconate in Example 4 was lower than that in Example 1, resulting in a lower content of active substances in the mulberry leaves. However, the polyphenolic flavonoid content of the mulberry leaves obtained by Example 5, which further increased the concentration of spirulina extract and zinc gluconate, was comparable to that in Example 1.
[0165] Compared with Example 1, Examples 6-9 changed the ratio of the two probiotics and the amount of probiotics added. The results showed that if the mass ratio of Lactobacillus rhamnosus to Lactobacillus plantarum was too high or too low (Examples 6 and 7), or if the amount of bacteria added was too high or too low (Examples 8 and 9), it would have a certain impact on the content of active substances in fried mulberry leaves. Fermentation with Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Lactobacillus plantarum in the ratio and amount in Example 1 can produce fried mulberry leaves with a higher content of polyphenols and flavonoids.
[0166] Compared with Example 1, Comparative Example 1 did not add citric acid, magnesium carbonate, spirulina extract, zinc gluconate, or other substances, nor did it undergo pulsed ultrasonic treatment. As a result, the color-protecting effect during the treatment was very weak, and it could not protect the active substances. Therefore, the content of polyphenolic flavonoids in the fried mulberry leaves obtained was low.
[0167] Compared to Example 1, Comparative Examples 2-5, in which citric acid and magnesium carbonate were not added during the pulsed ultrasound treatment, or only one of them was added, or they were replaced with other components, all resulted in the loss of some polyphenolic flavonoid active substances, making the polyphenolic flavonoid content of the fried mulberry leaves significantly lower than that of Example 1. It is evident that only pulsed ultrasound treatment with the synergistic effect of citric acid and magnesium carbonate can protect the active substances and significantly increase the content of polyphenolic flavonoid active substances in mulberry leaves.
[0168] Compared to Example 1, Comparative Examples 6-10, without treatment with spirulina extract and zinc gluconate, or with only one of them, or by replacing them with other ingredients, all resulted in the loss of some polyphenolic flavonoid active substances, leading to a significantly lower content of polyphenolic flavonoids in the fried mulberry leaves compared to Example 1. This demonstrates that only with the synergistic treatment of spirulina extract and zinc gluconate can the active substances be better protected, significantly increasing the content of polyphenolic flavonoids in mulberry leaves.
[0169] Compared with Example 1, Comparative Example 11 had a different fermentation temperature. Example 1 was a variable temperature fermentation, while Comparative Example 11 was a constant temperature fermentation. The results showed that fermentation at the temperature of Example 1 was more conducive to the function of probiotics, thereby significantly increasing the content of polyphenols and flavonoids in mulberry leaves.
[0170] Compared with Example 1, Comparative Examples 12-15, using only one type of bacteria or replacing it with other bacteria, resulted in significantly lower polyphenol and flavonoid content in the obtained mulberry leaves compared to Example 1. This indicates that the fermentation of mulberry leaves with a specific ratio of Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Lactobacillus plantarum in this invention has a significant synergistic effect, which can significantly increase the content of polyphenol and flavonoid active substances in mulberry leaves.
[0171] Comparative Example 16 involved conventional frying without vacuum low-temperature treatment or plasma treatment. Although the same reagent treatment was performed as in Example 1, frying at high temperature was still not conducive to the retention of active substances, resulting in a significantly lower concentration of active substances in the mulberry leaves compared to Example 1.
[0172] Comparative Example 17, which did not undergo plasma treatment, had a lower content of polyphenols and flavonoids than Example 1, indicating that plasma-assisted frying can, to some extent, protect active substances such as polyphenols and flavonoids.

[0174]
[0175]
[0176]
[0177] Table 4. Results of oil content test
[0178]
[0179] Tables 3 and 4 show that ordinary dried mulberry leaves, because they are not fried, have a very low oil content and produce very little acrylamide. Conventionally fried mulberry leaves, on the other hand, have higher acrylamide and oil contents; therefore, the acrylamide is mainly produced during the frying process. The fried mulberry leaves prepared according to this invention (Examples 1-9) have significantly lower acrylamide and oil contents than conventionally fried mulberry leaves, indicating that the preparation process of this invention can effectively inhibit the formation of harmful substances such as acrylamide while achieving efficient oil removal.
[0180] Compared with Example 1, Comparative Example 1 did not add citric acid, magnesium carbonate, spirulina extract, zinc gluconate, or other substances, nor did it undergo pulsed ultrasonic treatment. As a result, the color-protecting effect during the treatment was very weak, and it could not effectively protect the mulberry leaves, leading to a higher amount of acrylamide produced during the frying process.
[0181] Compared to Example 1, Comparative Examples 2-5 did not include citric acid and magnesium carbonate during the pulsed ultrasonic treatment, or only one of them was added, or they were replaced with other ingredients. Comparative Examples 6-10, compared to Example 1, did not use spirulina extract and zinc gluconate for treatment, or only one of them was added, or they were replaced with other ingredients. These modifications all resulted in an increase in the acrylamide content in the fried mulberry leaves compared to Example 1. This demonstrates that the preparation process of the present invention, involving pulsed ultrasonic treatment with the synergistic effect of citric acid and magnesium carbonate, combined with synergistic treatment using spirulina extract and zinc gluconate, effectively protects the active substances while significantly reducing the formation of acrylamide in mulberry leaves during frying.
[0182] Compared with Example 1, Comparative Example 11 had a different fermentation temperature. Example 1 was a variable temperature fermentation, while Comparative Example 11 was a constant temperature fermentation. The results showed that fermentation at the temperature of Example 1 was more conducive to the function of probiotics and could also reduce the production of acrylamide in mulberry leaves during frying to a certain extent.
[0183] Compared to Example 1, Comparative Examples 12-15, which used only one type of bacteria or replaced it with other bacteria, resulted in a slightly higher acrylamide content in the mulberry leaves compared to Example 1. This indicates that the fermentation of mulberry leaves with a specific ratio of Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Lactobacillus plantarum in this invention can also reduce the production of acrylamide in mulberry leaves during frying to a certain extent.
[0184] Comparative Example 16 was prepared by conventional frying without vacuum low temperature or plasma treatment. Although the same reagent treatment was performed as in Example 1, frying at normal pressure and high temperature still produced more harmful substances such as acrylamide and was not conducive to the removal of oil. As a result, the acrylamide and oil content of the mulberry leaves obtained were significantly higher than those in Example 1.
[0185] Compared to Example 1, Comparative Example 17 did not undergo plasma treatment, resulting in poorer surface fluidity of the mulberry leaves and a higher oil residue rate. Furthermore, Comparative Example 17 had a higher acrylamide content than Example 1, indicating that plasma-assisted frying can reduce acrylamide production in mulberry leaves during frying to some extent.
[0186] Table 5 Sensory Evaluation Results
[0187]
[0188]
[0189]
[0190] Table 5 shows that the fried mulberry leaves prepared by the present invention (Examples 1-9) have better taste, appearance, aroma and other sensory qualities than conventional fried mulberry leaves, with the fried mulberry leaves prepared in Example 1 having the best quality.
[0191] Compared with Example 1, Examples 2-3 changed the concentrations of citric acid and magnesium carbonate in step (1). The concentrations of citric acid and magnesium carbonate in Example 2 were lower than those in Example 1, resulting in a weaker color-protecting effect and thus a slightly worse color and appearance. In Example 3, the concentrations of citric acid and magnesium carbonate were higher, but the color-protecting effect was not better than that of Example 1; on the contrary, it was slightly worse than that of Example 1. This may be related to the change in the pH environment provided, and therefore the color and appearance were also slightly worse than those of Example 1.
[0192] Spirulina extract and zinc gluconate work synergistically to provide a "fresh and fragrant" base flavor, enriching the flavor profile, and also act as an anti-pigment oxidation agent, making them a green synergist. Compared to Example 1, Examples 4 and 5 changed the concentrations of spirulina extract and zinc gluconate. In Example 4, the concentrations of spirulina extract and zinc gluconate were lower than in Example 1, resulting in a relatively weaker effect. In Example 5, the concentrations of spirulina extract and zinc gluconate were higher, but the ratio of spirulina extract to zinc gluconate differed, and the amount of spirulina extract was slightly higher, resulting in a weaker synergistic effect compared to Example 1. This led to the mulberry leaves from Examples 4 and 5 having slightly inferior color, appearance, and taste compared to Example 1.
[0193] Compared with Example 1, Examples 6-9 changed the ratio of the two probiotics and the amount of probiotics added. The results showed that if the mass ratio of Lactobacillus rhamnosus to Lactobacillus plantarum was too high or too low (Examples 6 and 7), or if the amount of bacteria added was too high or too low (Examples 8 and 9), it would have a certain impact on the sensory properties of fried mulberry leaves. Fermentation with Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Lactobacillus plantarum in the ratio and amount in Example 1 can produce fried mulberry leaves with higher overall evaluation in terms of aroma, flavor, appearance and taste.
[0194] Compared with Example 1, Comparative Example 1 did not contain citric acid, magnesium carbonate, spirulina extract, zinc gluconate, or other substances, nor did it undergo pulsed ultrasonic treatment. Therefore, it did not have a significant color-protecting effect, and the resulting fried mulberry leaves had a lower overall evaluation score in terms of flavor, appearance, and taste.
[0195] Compared with Example 1, Comparative Example 11 had a different fermentation temperature. Example 1 was a variable temperature fermentation, while Comparative Example 11 was a constant temperature fermentation. The results showed that fermentation at the temperature of Example 1 was more conducive to the function of probiotics and improved the flavor, taste and other sensory characteristics of fried mulberry leaves.
[0196] Compared to Example 1, Comparative Examples 12-15, using only one type of bacteria or replacing it with other bacteria, resulted in a certain degree of adverse effects on the aroma, crispness, and firmness of the obtained mulberry leaves. This indicates that the fermentation of mulberry leaves using a specific ratio of Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Lactobacillus plantarum in this invention has a significant synergistic effect, which can significantly improve the flavor and taste of mulberry leaves.
[0197] Comparative Example 16 was conventionally fried without vacuum low-temperature treatment or plasma treatment. Although it underwent the same reagent treatment as Example 1, it was fried at high temperature, resulting in poorer color and appearance, and was too greasy. Its overall sensory score was significantly lower than that of Example 1.
[0198] Compared with Example 1, Comparative Example 17 did not undergo plasma treatment, which resulted in poorer surface fluidity, higher oil residue, and increased greasiness of the sample, affecting the overall appearance and taste of the mulberry leaves and making its overall quality somewhat worse than that of Example 1.
[0199] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of the present invention, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of this invention patent should be determined by the appended claims.
