Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of microbial technology, and in particular to a fermented mung bean seed product with enhanced repair, anti-aging, and anti-inflammatory effects, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Flavonoids possess significant antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and wrinkle-reducing effects, making them important active ingredients in functional cosmetics and health foods. Mung bean seed epidermis contains relatively high levels of flavonoids (such as flavonols, anthocyanins, and flavanols), but current extraction and fermentation enhancement technologies primarily rely on direct fermentation and single-microbial treatment. Both methods achieve efficient release and activity enhancement of flavonoids through microbial metabolic regulation or structural modification. Related research has developed a relatively mature technical system and received empirical support.
[0003] Fermentation of mung bean seeds using Lactobacillus yields products (lysate and filtrate) that are popular functional ingredients in the cosmetics industry. Metabolites produced during fermentation, such as proteases and glycosidases, can break the bonds between flavonoids and sugars, converting bound flavonoids into free flavonoids and significantly improving extraction efficiency. However, the presence of large amounts of cellulose and hemicellulose in the mung bean seed coat hinders flavonoid release, affecting the flavonoid release rate after Lactobacillus fermentation. Furthermore, traditional techniques for extracting flavonoids from mung bean seeds have limitations. Some methods (such as solvent extraction) are mature but contain many impurities, are costly, or are incompatible with the fermentation conditions (such as pH and temperature) of Lactobacillus, affecting the stability of the final product.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a preparation method that can effectively improve the release of active ingredients in mung bean seeds in order to prepare mung bean seed extracts with superior biological activity. Summary of the Invention

The reducing sugar was measured using the pretreated mung bean seeds obtained in step S2, the treated mung bean seed fermentation products obtained in step A2, and the mung bean seed fermentation products obtained in step B2 as samples. The remaining indicators were measured using the mung bean seed fermentation filtrate as samples. The results are shown in Table 1.
[0067] The reducing sugar content was determined by the DNS method, the flavonoid content by the aluminum salt complexation spectrophotometric method, the polyphenol content by the Folin-Ciocalteu method, and the total nitrogen by the Kjeldahl method. The above methods can be performed using commercially available kits with the same principle, or by referring to the operating procedures disclosed in existing technologies such as "Biochemical Experiments" (edited by Chen Junhui, published by Science Press in 2014) and "Plant Chemistry Experiments" (Zhao Zijian et al., published by Xi'an University of Electronic Science and Technology Press in 2013).
[0068] γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) was determined by HPLC using a C18 column (4.6 mm × 250 mm, 5 μm), a mobile phase of methanol-0.05 mol / L potassium dihydrogen phosphate buffer (pH=6.0) = 40:60 (v / v), a detection wavelength of 254 nm, a column temperature of 30 ℃, a flow rate of 1.0 mL / min, and external standard method for quantification.
[0069] Table 1. Results of determination of active ingredient content in different mung bean seed ferments As shown in Table 1, the mung bean seed fermentation product / fermentation filtrate obtained in the examples had higher contents of reducing sugars, flavonoids, polyphenols, total nitrogen, and γ-aminobutyric acid, indicating that the present invention effectively improves the active ingredients in the mung bean seed fermentation filtrate, giving it more diverse effects. Among these, compared with Example 1, the indicators in Example 4 were slightly lower, indicating that using existing endoglucanase and xylanase as a compound enzyme preparation can also release the cell contents of mung bean seeds, thereby increasing the content of various active ingredients in the mung bean seed fermentation filtrate.
[0070] Compared to Comparative Examples 1 and 2, the contents of various active ingredients in the Example were higher. This indicates that performing Lactobacillus fermentation first, followed by treatment with a compound enzyme agent (recombinant Pichia pastoris engineered strain), or omitting the compound enzyme agent treatment step, would lead to the inhibition of Pichia pastoris enzyme production activity by Lactobacillus metabolites. Furthermore, insufficient cell wall disruption of mung bean seeds affected the release of cell contents, making it difficult for Lactobacillus to access the active substances within the mung bean seed cells, thus failing to significantly increase the content of various active ingredients in the mung bean seed fermentation filtrate. Simultaneously, because the mung bean seed cell walls were not sufficiently disrupted, the resulting glutamate content was low, restricting the pathway for Lactobacillus to synthesize γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA). This prevented an increase in the content of active ingredients such as flavonoids and polyphenols in the mung bean seed fermentation filtrate, and also failed to increase the yield of GABA from Lactobacillus.
[0071] Compared to Comparative Examples 3-4, the contents of various active ingredients in the Examples were higher. This indicates that if mung bean seeds are treated with a compound enzyme agent that expresses only endoglucanase or xylanase, the cell walls of the mung bean seeds cannot be fully broken down, thus affecting the utilization of the mung bean seed cell contents by Lactobacillus and reducing the contents of active ingredients such as flavonoids, polyphenols, and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Meanwhile, the combined GABA content of Comparative Examples 3 and 4 was much lower than that of the Examples, indicating that the combination of endoglucanase and xylanase can synergistically increase the GABA production of Lactobacillus.
[0072] Compared with Comparative Example 5, the contents of various active ingredients in the Example are higher, indicating that the mung bean seed fermentation filtrate obtained by the present invention can only achieve the characteristics of high active ingredients under specific parameter conditions. If the parameter conditions are adjusted to unsuitable conditions, the yield of active ingredients such as flavonoids and polyphenols will decrease significantly, and the purpose of achieving the multiple effects of mung bean seed fermentation filtrate cannot be achieved.
[0073] Compared with Comparative Example 6, the contents of various active ingredients in the Example are higher. This indicates that if the Lactobacillus described in this invention is replaced with Lactobacillus that produces less γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), the GABA production in the mung bean seed fermentation filtrate will decrease significantly. At the same time, the contents of active ingredients such as flavonoids and polyphenols will also decrease. GABA is one of the main components in the mung bean seed fermentation filtrate that plays a repair role. The decrease in GABA content means that the repair effect of the mung bean seed fermentation filtrate will also decrease, which does not meet the purpose of enhancing the repair effect of this invention. It can be seen that specific types of Lactobacillus need to be selected to obtain the mung bean seed fermentation filtrate with the effects described in this invention.
[0074] Example 3 To evaluate the efficacy of the mung bean seed fermentation product obtained in this invention, the mung bean seed fermentation filtrate obtained in Example 1 was subjected to repair, anti-aging, and anti-inflammatory efficacy tests. The specific method is as follows: I. Repairing effects.
[0075] The fermented mung bean filtrate of each group was mixed with ultrapure water to prepare fermented mung bean filtrate with final concentrations of 5%, 10%, and 20% (v / v) respectively.
[0076] Zebrafish embryonic caudal fins were used as test subjects for repair and promotion experiments. Embryos with removed caudal fins were exposed to mung bean seed fermentation filtrate samples at concentrations of 20%, 10%, and 5% of the formulated product. A blank control group (embryos without caudal fin removal) and a model control group (embryos with removed caudal fins but not exposed to mung bean seed fermentation filtrate) were also set up. After 48 hours of exposure, the embryos were photographed under a microscope, and the regenerated caudal fin length was measured and statistically analyzed. The results are shown below. Figure 1 Each treatment group had 8 replicates.
[0077] like Figure 1 As shown, the fermented mung bean seed filtrate, at concentrations of 20%, 10%, and 5% in the formula, promoted the repair of zebrafish embryo tail fins by 28% (…). p =0.0000013), 13% p =0.0031) and 13% ( p =0.0062). This indicates that the fermented mung bean seed of the present invention can significantly promote the regeneration of the tail fin of zebrafish embryos and has a repair-promoting effect.
[0078] II. Anti-aging effects.
[0079] Each group of mung bean seed fermentation filtrate was mixed with ultrapure water to prepare mung bean seed fermentation filtrate sample solutions with final concentrations of 5%, 10%, and 20% (v / v).
[0080] Six-day-old zebrafish were used as test subjects to evaluate anti-aging efficacy. The six-day-old zebrafish were exposed to mung bean seed fermentation filtrate samples at concentrations of 20%, 10%, and 5% of the formulated product, respectively. A blank control group (not exposed to mung bean seed fermentation filtrate) was also included. After 24 hours of exposure, RNA was extracted from the zebrafish, cDNA was synthesized, and real-time PCR amplification was performed. β-actin As a housekeeping gene, Ct is used as the amplification result for calculation. col1a1a, col1a1b , col1a2 and Elna The relative expression levels were analyzed and statistically analyzed. The results are shown in […]. Figure 2-3 Each treatment group had 12 replicates.
[0081] like Figure 2 As shown, the effects of mung bean seed fermentation filtrate at a 20% formulation concentration on zebrafish... col1a1a, col1a1b and col1a2 The gene expression promotion rate was 39% ( p =0.0046), 51% ( p =0.00028), 60% ( p =0.0020). The effect of mung bean seed fermentation filtrate at a 10% formulation concentration on zebrafish... col1a1a, col1a1b and col1a2 The gene expression promotion rate was 35% ( p =0.033), 50% ( p =0.0030), 110% ( p =0.00012). The sample at a 5% formulation concentration was effective against zebrafish. col1a1a, col1a1b and col1a2 The gene expression promotion rate was 19% ( p =0.042), -19%( p =0.0030), 43% ( p =0.00048), indicating that the mung bean seed ferment of the present invention can significantly promote the expression of type I collagen gene in zebrafish, promote the regeneration of type I collagen, and has anti-wrinkle and firming effects.
[0082] like Figure 3 As shown, the effects of mung bean seed fermentation filtrate on zebrafish were investigated at concentrations of 20%, 10%, and 5% of the formulation. Elna The gene expression promotion rate was 82% ( p =0.000010), 94% ( p =0.000018) and 24% ( p =0.0066), indicating that the mung bean seed ferment of the present invention can significantly promote zebrafish growth. ElnaGene expression promotes elastin regeneration, resulting in anti-wrinkle and firming effects.
[0083] III. Anti-inflammatory effects.
[0084] The fermented mung bean filtrate of each group was mixed with ultrapure water to prepare fermented mung bean filtrate with final concentrations of 5%, 10%, and 20% (v / v) respectively.
[0085] Anti-inflammatory efficacy was tested using zebrafish embryos. The embryos were exposed to mung bean seed fermentation filtrate solutions at concentrations of 10µM anhydrous copper sulfate + 20%, 10µM anhydrous copper sulfate + 10%, and 10µM anhydrous copper sulfate + 5%. A blank control group (not exposed to anhydrous copper sulfate or mung bean seed fermentation filtrate) and a model control group (exposed only to anhydrous sodium sulfate) were also set up. After 40 min of exposure, the embryos were fixed and stained with Sudan Black. The number of neutrophils in the lateral line region was counted and statistically analyzed. The results are shown below. Figure 4 Each treatment group had 6 replicates.
[0086] like Figure 4 As shown, the fermented mung bean seed filtrate inhibited neutrophil aggregation in zebrafish embryos at concentrations of 20%, 10%, and 5%, respectively, with inhibition rates of 48% ( ). p =0.00000000046), 21% p =0.0027) and 23% ( p =0.0010), indicating that the fermented mung bean seed filtrate of the present invention can significantly inhibit the aggregation of neutrophils in zebrafish embryos and has a soothing and anti-inflammatory effect.
[0087] In summary, this invention significantly improves the fermentation efficiency of Lactobacillus by pretreating mung bean seeds with recombinant Pichia pastoris engineered strains expressing endoglucanase and xylanase. The resulting fermentation product filtrate is rich in active ingredients such as GABA, flavonoids, polyphenols, and polypeptides, exhibiting significant repair, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging properties. Furthermore, the method for preparing mung bean seed fermentation products in this invention provides a new avenue for the high-value utilization of mung beans, and the products can be used in fields such as cosmetics.
