Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of food science and technology, specifically relating to a composition for protecting the cardiovascular system and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] With the accelerating aging of the population and the high-fat, high-sugar diets and sedentary lifestyles of contemporary people, the incidence of cardiovascular-related health problems such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, thrombosis, and vascular endothelial damage is rising year by year, becoming a major global public health challenge that seriously threatens human life and health. The pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases is complex, mainly related to the synergistic effects of multiple factors such as decreased vascular elasticity, dyslipidemia, vascular endothelial dysfunction, and thrombus accumulation. Its onset is insidious, its course is long, and long-term clinical drug intervention is prone to drug resistance and side effects such as liver and kidney damage. Therefore, developing safe, effective, and side-effect-free natural health foods for the prevention and adjuvant improvement of cardiovascular health, and addressing the shortcomings of existing intervention methods, has become a pressing technical challenge in the current health food field, and a research hotspot and urgent need for those skilled in the art.

[0003] Currently, there are many types of health foods on the market for protecting the cardiovascular system, but most products suffer from technical defects such as unreasonable formula design, limited effects of single ingredients, and single efficacy, making it difficult to achieve multi-target and comprehensive cardiovascular protection effects and failing to meet the actual needs of clinical and daily health care. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for preparing a composition for protecting the cardiovascular system, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a composition for protecting the cardiovascular system, comprising natto freeze-dried powder, milk protein peptide powder, dihydromyricetin, and functional red yeast rice powder;

[0006] The natto freeze-dried powder has a nattokinase content of 3000 FU / g, 5000 FU / g, 10000 FU / g or 20000 FU / g, the total content of VPP and IPP in the milk protein peptide powder is ≥5.0%, and the inhibition rate of the milk protein peptide powder against ACE is ≥63%.

[0007] Preferably, by weight parts, the composition comprises 10-50 parts of natto freeze-dried powder, 5-30 parts of milk protein peptide powder, 1-10 parts of dihydromyricetin, and 5-25 parts of functional red yeast rice powder.

[0009] Preferably, the dihydromyricetin is derived from the fruit of the Japanese raisin tree.

[0010] The present invention also provides a method for preparing the composition for protecting the cardiovascular system, comprising the following steps:

[0011] S1. Raw material pretreatment: The freeze-dried natto powder, milk protein peptide powder, dihydromyricetin, and functional red yeast rice powder are sieved separately to remove impurities and set aside.

[0012] S2. Mixing: The pretreated natto freeze-dried powder, milk protein peptide powder, dihydromyricetin, and functional red yeast rice powder are added into the mixing equipment in proportion and mixed evenly to obtain a mixture.

[0013] S3. Post-processing: The mixture obtained in step S2 is subjected to secondary sieving and metal detection. After passing the test, the composition for protecting the cardiovascular system is obtained.

[0014] Preferably, in step S1, the sieving is done through a 2.5mm sieve; in step S3, the secondary sieving is performed using a 60-mesh sieve produced from food raw materials for fine sieving.

[0028] Example 1: Preparation and Activity Testing of Milk Protein Peptide Powder

[0029] 1.1. Preparation of milk protein peptide powder

[0030] Take 100 kg of milk powder, add an appropriate amount of water to dissolve it, adjust the pH to a suitable value, add protease for enzymatic hydrolysis, and the enzymatic hydrolysis conditions are: temperature 50-55℃, time 4-6 hours; after the enzymatic hydrolysis is completed, heat up to inactivate, filter to remove insoluble matter, and concentrate, sterilize and spray dry the filtrate to obtain milk protein peptide powder.

[0031] 1.2. Detection of VPP and IPP content

[0032] The contents of VPP and IPP in milk protein peptide powder were determined by high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS). Chromatographic conditions: C18 column (4.6×250mm, 5μm), mobile phase: acetonitrile-water (containing 0.1% formic acid), gradient elution, flow rate: 1.0mL / min, detection wavelength: 214nm; Mass spectrometry conditions: electrospray ionization (ESI), positive ion mode, scan range: m / z 100-500.

[0033] Test results: VPP content was 3.2%, IPP content was 2.8%, and the total VPP and IPP content was 6.0%, which meets the requirement of ≥5.0%.

[0034] 1.3. ACE Inhibitory Activity Detection

[0035] The method was adapted from that of Cushman DW et al. (Biochemical Pharmacology, 1971, 20(7):1637-1648).

[0036] Method Principle: Hippuric acid (Hip) is hydrolyzed by ACE in the presence of ACE inhibitors. The amount of hippuric acid produced decreases when an ACE inhibitor is added. The peak area of ​​hippuric acid at 228 nm is determined by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and the ACE inhibition rate is calculated.

[0037] Operating steps:

[0038] Prepare a 5 mmol / L HCl solution (dissolved in a 0.1 mol / L borate buffer solution containing 0.3 mol / L NaCl, pH 8.3).

[0045] Example 2: Extraction of dihydromyricetin from Hovenia dulcis seeds

[0046] Take 10 kg of dried Hovenia dulcis seeds, crush them through a 40-mesh sieve, add 10 times the amount of 60% ethanol aqueous solution, reflux for 2 hours, and filter. Add 8 times the amount of 60% ethanol aqueous solution to the filter residue, reflux for 1.5 hours, and filter. Combine the two filtrates, concentrate under reduced pressure to a relative density of 1.10–1.15 (60℃), refrigerate for 24 hours to separate the layers, centrifuge the supernatant, and spray dry to obtain Hovenia dulcis extract.

[0047] HPLC analysis showed that the extract contained 12.5% ​​dihydromyricetin; this extract can be used as a source of dihydromyricetin in the compositions of this invention.

[0048] Example 3: Preparation of Natto Freeze-Dried Powder

[0049] Selected soybeans are washed, soaked, steamed, and cooled to about 40°C. They are then inoculated with imported Japanese natto bacteria and fermented in a solid state at 37-42°C for 20-24 hours.

[0094] 2.2. Test Methods

[0095] The procedure was performed according to the standard operating procedures of Hangzhou White Biotechnology Co., Ltd. A zebrafish model of vascular endothelial injury was established, and different concentrations of milk protein peptide powder were administered. Blood vessel diameter, NO fluorescence staining intensity, and relative expression levels of the ace gene were measured.

[0096] 2.3. Test Results

[0097] 2.3.1. For example Figure 3 As shown, the effect on blood vessel diameter:

[0098] Compared with the model control group, the diameter of blood vessels in zebrafish treated with milk protein peptide powder was significantly increased (***p<0.001), indicating that milk protein peptide powder has the effect of protecting vascular endothelium and improving vascular structure.

[0099] 2.3.2 such as Figure 4 As shown, the effect on NO fluorescence staining intensity

[0100] Compared with the model control group, the NO fluorescence staining intensity of zebrafish treated with milk protein peptide powder was significantly enhanced (**p<0.01, ***p<0.001), indicating that milk protein peptide powder can promote NO synthesis in vascular endothelial cells and improve vascular function.

[0102] Compared with the model control group, the relative expression level of the ACE gene in zebrafish treated with milk protein peptide powder was significantly downregulated (**p<0.01, ***p<0.001), indicating that milk protein peptide powder can inhibit ACE expression at the gene level and exert a blood pressure-lowering effect.

[0103] 2.4. Experimental Conclusions

[0104] Under the experimental conditions, milk protein peptide powder has a protective effect against vascular endothelial injury, specifically by increasing the intensity of NO fluorescence staining, increasing the diameter of blood vessels, and downregulating the relative expression level of the ace gene.
