Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of food technology, specifically to a metal-organic framework ZIF-8 immobilized enzyme, its preparation method, and its applications. Background Technology

[0002] Structural lipids, also known as reconstructed lipids, are oils with special nutritional functions synthesized through modification or structural reorganization of ordinary oils. Generally speaking, structural lipids are glycerides formed by the esterification of fatty acids of different chain lengths. These novel lipids can fulfill the physiological functions and nutritional value of fatty acids. Typically, structural lipids include triglycerides, diglycerides, monoglycerides, and phospholipids.

[0003] Diacylglycerol (DAG) is a natural component of various edible oils, existing as three different glycerol isomers: Sn-1,2-DAG, Sn-2,3-DAG, and Sn-1,3-DAG. Natural vegetable oils contain relatively low levels of DAG, generally less than 10%. Recent studies have found that the health benefits of DAG are related to its unique metabolic pathway. DAG can reduce the accumulation of fat in the abdomen and internal organs, lower serum TAG concentration, promote fatty acid β-oxidation, alleviate diabetes, and prevent arteriosclerosis. Furthermore, because DAG is metabolized differently in the human body than TAG, triglycerides (TAG) first form emulsion droplets in the intestines. Pancreatic lipase specifically recognizes and acts on the Sn-1 and Sn-3 ester bonds of the glycerol backbone, regioselectively hydrolyzing them to cleave two fatty acid molecules, generating one molecule of 2-monoglycerate (2-MAG) and two molecules of free fatty acid (FFA). After being absorbed by the intestinal epithelial cells, the 2-monoglycerate and fatty acid are efficiently re-esterified into triglycerides via a re-esterification pathway and released into the bloodstream, thus increasing blood lipid levels and becoming a key dietary factor contributing to obesity. In contrast, diglycerides exhibit a completely different metabolic pathway: their hydrolysis products are more likely to enter the liver for β-oxidation for energy rather than serving as precursors for fat storage.

[0004] Therefore, compared to triglycerides, consuming diglycerides can reduce the chance of triglycerides being resynthesized in the body, thus effectively preventing the accumulation of fat. Furthermore, DAG molecules have strong lipophilicity and some hydrophilicity; their unique molecular structure endows DAG with lubricating and emulsifying properties. In addition, it has advantages such as safety and nutrition, and is widely used in the food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries, showing promising industrial application prospects.

[0005] Methods for synthesizing diacylglycerol (DAG) are divided into chemical and enzymatic methods. Based on different reaction mechanisms, they can also be classified as direct esterification, glycerolysis, and partial hydrolysis of oils and fats. Traditional chemical catalysis typically utilizes inorganic catalysts to drive glycerolysis or hydrolysis reactions under high temperature, vacuum, or inert gas protection. This process has stringent requirements for reaction conditions; high temperatures easily lead to the degradation and isomerization of heat-sensitive unsaturated fatty acids and other nutrients in oils and fats, triggering complex side reactions that result in a darker color, deteriorated flavor, and a significant decline in sensory quality of the final product. Furthermore, chemical catalysts lack site specificity, making it impossible to achieve the controlled synthesis of lipids with specific structures. Enzymatic synthesis processes are increasingly favored due to their mild reaction conditions, excellent product flavor, and environmental friendliness. Lipases, as highly efficient biocatalysts, possess high catalytic efficiency, strong regioselectivity, and reusability. Based on these significant advantages, the production of diacylglycerol (DAG) using lipase catalysis has become the mainstream research and application direction, gradually replacing traditional chemical synthesis methods.

[0006] The high sensitivity of free enzymes to environmental conditions (such as temperature, pH, and organic solvents) makes them highly susceptible to irreversible inactivation under suboptimal conditions. This inherent instability makes them unable to withstand the harsh operating conditions commonly found in industrial reactors, greatly limiting their potential for widespread application in numerous fields such as synthetic chemistry, biocatalysis, and food processing. Summary of the Invention

[0007] To address the aforementioned problems, the first objective of this invention is to provide a metal-organic framework ZIF-8 immobilized enzyme (ANL@ZIF-8), which exhibits higher activity, stability, and catalytic efficiency than the free enzyme; furthermore, it is easily separated and recovered, enabling multiple cyclic catalysis and significantly reducing costs.

[0008] A second objective of this invention is to provide a method for preparing a metal-organic framework ZIF-8 immobilized enzyme.

[0009] The method is simple to operate, operates under mild conditions, and can effectively achieve enzyme immobilization.

[0010] The third objective of this invention is to provide a method for preparing diglyceride edible oil, which produces diglyceride edible oil with lower byproducts, higher effective components, and physiological effects such as reducing body fat accumulation and improving blood lipid levels.

[0011] To achieve the above objectives, the first technical solution provided by this invention is as follows:

[0012] Aspergillus niger lipase was added to a 2-methylimidazole solution and dispersed evenly. Then, zinc nitrate solution was slowly added and stirred at a constant speed for 20-60 min. After standing for 20-60 min, the product was centrifuged, the solid was collected, washed, and freeze-dried to obtain the immobilized enzyme.

[0013] The molar ratio of zinc nitrate hexahydrate to 2-methylimidazole is 1:4 to 1:8;

[0014] The amount of Aspergillus niger lipase added is 10-40% of the weight of 2-methylimidazole.

[0015] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned method for preparing the metal-organic framework ZIF-8 immobilized enzyme, the concentration of the zinc nitrate solution is 20-40 mM; and the concentration of the 2-methylimidazole solution is 80-400 mM.

[0016] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned method for preparing the metal-organic framework ZIF-8 immobilized enzyme, the washing process involves washing with deionized water 3 to 6 times.

[0017] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned method for preparing the metal-organic framework ZIF-8 immobilized enzyme, the stirring speed during uniform stirring is 100-400 r / min; the centrifugation speed during centrifugation is 8000 r / min.

[0018] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned method for preparing the metal-organic framework ZIF-8 immobilized enzyme, the freeze-drying temperature is -40℃ and the freeze-drying time is 8-12h.

[0019] The second technical solution provided by the present invention is a metal-organic framework ZIF-8 immobilized enzyme, which is prepared by the method described in the first technical solution.

[0020] The third technical solution provided by this invention is a method for preparing diglyceride edible oil, which includes the following steps in sequence:

[0021] (1) Mix the raw oil and glycerol, stir and emulsify, then add metal-organic framework ZIF-8 immobilized enzyme, and carry out glycerolysis reaction at 40-70℃ for 2-12 hours. After the reaction is completed, centrifuge to separate the immobilized enzyme. The resulting liquid mixture is a crude product rich in diglycerides.

[0022] (2) The crude diglyceride product obtained in step (1) is purified by molecular distillation to obtain edible oil rich in DAG.

[0023] The molar ratio of raw oil to glycerin is 1:1 to 1:5;

[0024] The amount of the metal-organic framework ZIF-8 immobilized enzyme added is 1% to 5% of the weight of the raw oil.

[0025] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned method for preparing diglyceride edible oil, the raw material oil is rapeseed oil.

[0026] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned method for preparing diglyceride edible oil, the molecular distillation is a two-stage molecular distillation.

[0027] Furthermore, the preparation method of the above-mentioned diglyceride edible oil, the primary molecular distillation conditions are as follows: distillation temperature is 170-200℃, vacuum degree is 10-50Pa, and film scraping speed is 300-400r / min;

[0028] The conditions for secondary molecular distillation are as follows: distillation temperature 200-230℃, vacuum degree 1-10Pa, and film scraping speed 300-400r / min.

[0029] Compared with existing technologies, the present invention achieves the following beneficial effects:

[0030] 1. The immobilized enzyme catalyst prepared by this invention can provide a rigid framework shield for enzyme molecules, resisting environments such as high temperature, acid and alkali and organic solvents. It has the characteristics of high specific surface area, high porosity and excellent mass transfer efficiency. Its activity, stability and catalytic efficiency are higher than those of free enzymes. Moreover, it is easy to separate and recover, and can realize multiple catalytic cycles, significantly reducing costs.

[0031] 2. The process employed in this invention is based entirely on a solvent-free enzyme-catalyzed glycerol hydrolysis system. This method has significant advantages such as mild reaction conditions, short reaction time, and simple post-processing. It also minimizes side reactions and avoids the generation of large amounts of wastewater and other secondary waste, thereby significantly reducing production costs and environmental burden.

[0032] 3. The diglyceride edible oil prepared by this invention has fewer byproducts and more active ingredients, and has physiological effects such as reducing body fat accumulation and improving blood lipid levels. Attached Figure Description

[0071] Application Example 1

[0072] This application example provides a method for preparing diglyceride edible oil. The method is as follows: 50g of rapeseed oil and 7.87g of glycerol (molar ratio = 1:1.5) are placed in a 250ml flask and stirred for emulsification. The amount of metal-organic framework ZIF-8 prepared in Example 1 is added at 1% of the weight of the raw material oil (rapeseed oil and glycerol).

Then, the solution is drawn up with a 1ml syringe, filtered through a 0.22μm organic needle filter membrane, and injected into a gas phase detection bottle for gas phase analysis. The gas chromatography detection conditions were as follows: injection volume 1 μL, split ratio 40:1, column oven initial temperature 50℃, injection port temperature 360℃, flame ionization detector (FID) temperature 360℃, carrier gas nitrogen at a flow rate of 4.21 mL / min, and a programmed temperature ramp: initial column oven temperature 50℃ held for 1 min, then ramped to 200℃ at a rate of 20℃ / min and held for 1 min, then ramped to 240℃ at a rate of 10℃ / min and held for 1 min, then ramped to 360℃ at a rate of 40℃ / min and held at 360℃ for 15 min. The gas chromatogram of the obtained product is shown below.

[0077] Application Example 3

[0078] This application example provides a method for preparing diglyceride edible oil.

[0081] Application Example 5

[0082] This application example provides a method for preparing diglyceride edible oil. The only difference between this method and application example 1 is that an equal amount of metal-organic framework ZIF-8 immobilized enzyme prepared in example 5 is used instead of the metal-organic framework ZIF-8 immobilized enzyme prepared in example 1.

[0083] Application Example 6

[0084] This application example provides a method for preparing diglyceride edible oil. The only difference between this method and application example 1 is that an equal amount of metal-organic framework ZIF-8 immobilized enzyme prepared in example 6 is used instead of the metal-organic framework ZIF-8 immobilized enzyme prepared in example 1.

[0085] Application Example 7

[0086] This application example provides a method for preparing diglyceride edible oil.

[0087] Application Example 8

[0088] This application example provides a method for preparing diglyceride edible oil. The only difference between this method and application example 1 is that an equal amount of metal-organic framework ZIF-8 immobilized enzyme prepared in example 8 is used instead of the metal-organic framework ZIF-8 immobilized enzyme prepared in example 1.

[0089] The specific experimental results of Application Examples 1 to 8 are shown in Table 1.

[0090] Table 1

[0092] As can be seen from Table 1, when the metal-organic framework ZIF-8 immobilized enzyme provided in this application is applied to the preparation of diglyceride edible oil, the content of diglycerides is relatively high, with the highest content of diglycerides reaching 46.18%.

[0093] Application Examples 9-15

[0094] This application example provides a method for preparing diglyceride edible oil. The only difference between this method and Application Example 5 is the reaction temperature. Specific reaction temperatures and experimental results are shown in Table 2 and... Figure 2 .

[0097] Through Table 2 and Figure 2 Between 40 and 70°C, it can be seen that the content of diglycerides gradually increases with increasing temperature. At 55°C, the content of diglycerides is 53.6%. If the temperature is further increased, the content of diglycerides decreases instead. This is because as the reaction temperature increases, the collision between enzyme and substrate molecules intensifies, the reaction rate increases, and above a certain temperature, the enzyme gradually becomes inactive.

[0098] Application Examples 16-21

[0099] Application Examples 16-21 provide a method for preparing diglyceride edible oil. The only difference between this method and Application Example 1 is the reaction time. Specific reaction times and experimental results are shown in Table 3. Figure 3 .

[0102] Through Table 3 and Figure 3 It can be seen that the content of diglycerides gradually increases with the increase of reaction time. When the reaction time is 10h, the content of diglycerides is 57.32%. If the reaction time is extended further, the content of diglycerides does not change significantly. This is because there is an equilibrium between reactants and products. Diglycerides and monoglycerides will also be converted into triglycerides again under the catalysis of lipase.

[0103] Application Examples 22-26

[0104] Application Examples 22-26 provide a method for preparing diglyceride edible oil. The only difference between this method and Application Example 1 is the amount of metal-organic framework ZIF-8 immobilized enzyme used. Specific enzyme dosages and experimental results are shown in Table 4. Figure 4 .

[0107] Through Table 4 and Figure 4 It can be seen that as the amount of catalyst added increases, the content of diglycerides gradually increases. When the amount of enzyme added is 4%, the content of diglycerides is 49.51%. If the amount of enzyme added is further increased, the content of diglycerides will decrease instead. This is because excessive lipase content causes aggregation. This aggregation will mask the active site of the enzyme, thereby reducing the proportion of enzyme molecules that can effectively participate in the catalytic reaction.

[0108] Application Examples 27-31

[0109] Application Examples 27-31 provide a method for preparing diglyceride edible oil. The only difference between this method and Application Example 1 is the substrate molar ratio. The specific substrate molar ratio and experimental results are shown in Table 5. Figure 5 .

[0112] Through Table 5 and Figure 5 It can be seen that as the content of glycerol in the system increases, the content of diglycerides increases significantly. When the substrate molar ratio is 1:4, the content of diglycerides reaches 50.49%. This is because the increase in the relative content of glycerol can drive the reaction forward and increase the conversion rate of TAG.

[0113] Examples of proportional application 1-7

[0114] A method for preparing diglyceride edible oil is provided. The only difference between this method and Application Examples 9-15 is that, at the same temperature, free Aspergillus niger lipase ANL is used instead of the metal-organic framework ZIF-8 immobilized enzyme. Specific reaction temperatures, catalysts, and experimental results are shown in Table 5 and [Table data would be inserted here]. Figure 2 .

[0115] The free Aspergillus niger lipase ANL was purchased from Aladdin Chemical Reagent Co., Ltd.

[0118] Through Table 2, Table 5 and Figure 2 It can be seen that, under the same reaction temperature conditions, the diglyceride content prepared using the metal-organic framework ZI-8 immobilized enzyme is significantly higher than that prepared using free Aspergillus niger lipase ANL. For example, at 40℃, the diglyceride content prepared using the metal-organic framework ZI-8 immobilized enzyme is 39.51%, while that prepared using free Aspergillus niger lipase ANL is only 21.87%; at 55℃, the former reaches 53.6% diglyceride content, while the latter is only 45.37%.

[0119] This indicates that ZIF-8 metal-organic framework immobilized enzymes can catalyze the reaction more effectively, increasing the production of diglycerides. This may be because the immobilized enzyme structure is more stable, maintaining high activity during the reaction and reducing enzyme inactivation and aggregation.

[0121] Examples 8-14 provide a method for preparing diglyceride edible oil. The only difference between this method and Examples 9-15 is that the metal-organic framework ZIF-8 immobilized enzyme is replaced with Novozym 435 catalyst at the same temperature. Specific reaction temperatures, catalysts, and experimental results are shown in Table 6. Figure 2 .

However, the price of the metal-organic framework ZIF-8 immobilized enzyme provided in this application is much lower than that of the Novozym 435 catalyst (the market price of 10g of Novozym435 is about RMB 1275, while the price of 10g of raw material free Aspergillus niger lipase is RMB 280).

For example, after 2 hours of reaction, the diglyceride content prepared using the metal-organic framework ZIF-8 immobilized enzyme is 36.7%, while that prepared using free Aspergillus niger lipase ANL is only 26.26%; after 10 hours of reaction, the former reaches 57.32% diglyceride content, while the latter is only 43.56%.
