Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of food processing technology, specifically the interdisciplinary field of functional ingredient encapsulation and food processing with medicinal properties, and relates to a pear peel pectin-based anthocyanin microcapsule and its application method in Si Shen Su Pear Soup. Background Technology

[0002] Pectin is an important natural water-soluble polysaccharide in the food industry, widely used as a thickener, emulsifier, and microcapsule wall material. Traditional commercial pectin production mainly uses citrus peel and apple pomace as raw materials, which is costly and involves limited resource utilization. Pear peel, as a major byproduct of pear processing, is rich in pectin, but it is currently mostly discarded, causing resource waste and environmental pollution. Existing pectin extraction technologies from pear peel (such as patent publication number CN106866836A) often employ complex processes involving compound enzymatic hydrolysis, low-power long-term ultrasound, and decolorization and concentration. These processes suffer from high enzyme costs, cumbersome steps, and long extraction times, and the pectin yield is generally low (approximately 12%), making industrial-scale promotion difficult.

[0003] Anthocyanins are natural functional antioxidants with high nutritional and application value. However, anthocyanins are highly sensitive to environmental factors such as temperature and pH, exhibiting poor thermal stability and are easily degraded and lost during high-temperature food processing. Microencapsulation is the mainstream technology for improving their stability. Currently, the wall materials of most anthocyanin microcapsules are a combination of commercially available pectin and whey protein, failing to consider the processing characteristics of pear products to achieve on-site high-value utilization of pear peel by-products. Furthermore, there are no reports on the application of encapsulated anthocyanin microcapsules in high-temperature cooking systems for pear soup, thus failing to simultaneously enhance the nutritional value and flavor of the pear soup.

[0004] As a health food with both medicinal and edible properties, Four-Ingredient Pear Soup combines the lung-moistening effects of Dangshan pears with the spleen-strengthening and dampness-removing effects of the Four-Ingredient ingredients, making it popular among consumers. However, the traditional preparation process has many drawbacks: high-temperature and long-term steaming can easily lead to the deterioration of the pear flavor and the loss of active ingredients, and the medicinal fishy smell of the Four-Ingredient ingredients is difficult to eliminate. In addition, the product does not contain any functional ingredients, resulting in low added value. If anthocyanins are added directly during the high-temperature steaming stage, they are easily degraded and become ineffective, making it impossible to upgrade the product's nutritional value.

[0005] Therefore, developing an integrated process for pear peel pectin extraction, anthocyanin microcapsule preparation, and application in Sishen Crisp Pear Soup, to achieve high-value utilization of pear peel resources, improve the thermal stability of anthocyanins, optimize the flavor and nutrition of Sishen Crisp Pear Soup, and simultaneously ensure the industrial adaptability of the process, has become an urgent technical problem to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems of waste of pear peel resources, poor thermal stability of anthocyanins, loss of active ingredients and poor flavor in the processing of Sishen Crispy Pear Soup in the prior art. This invention provides a pear peel pectin-based anthocyanin microcapsule and its application method in Sishen Crispy Pear Soup. This invention realizes the resource utilization of pear peel by-products, simplifies the pectin extraction process and reduces costs, and provides anthocyanin microcapsules with high encapsulation rate and good thermal stability. When applied to Sishen Crispy Pear Soup, it can significantly improve the nutritional and sensory quality of the product. Moreover, all process parameters are set to be adapted to the fluctuation range of industrial production and can be promoted on a large scale.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: A method for preparing pear peel pectin, characterized by comprising the following steps: (1) Pear peel pretreatment: Peel fresh Dangshan pears and put them in a boiling water bath for 5-7 minutes to inactivate enzymes (to eliminate the pear peel's own endogenous enzymes and prevent pectin from being degraded in subsequent processes); then put the pear peels in an oven to dry (dry at 65-75℃ for 20-28 hours), pulverize them to obtain uniform pear peel powder, and seal them for later use. (2) Construction of enzymatic hydrolysis system: Pear peel powder and distilled water were mixed at a material-to-liquid ratio of 1:18 to 1:22 (g / mL), and the pH of the system was adjusted to 4.0 to 5.0 with 1 mol / L dilute hydrochloric acid (this pH range is the optimal range for cellulase activity); 0.2% to 0.8% of cellulase by weight of pear peel powder was added to the mixture, and the mixture was placed in a constant temperature water bath at 38 to 42℃ for 2.5 to 3.5 h for enzymatic hydrolysis. (3) Post-enzymatic hydrolysis treatment: After enzymatic hydrolysis, the mixture is placed in a water bath at 85~95℃ for 8~12min to inactivate the enzyme (to quickly inactivate cellulase and avoid excessive enzymatic hydrolysis that could damage the pectin structure). After cooling to room temperature, it is ultrasonically treated with 450~550W power for 15~25min (using the high-power cavitation effect to break the cell walls of the pear peel and further promote pectin dissolution. Compared with the existing low-power long-time ultrasonic process, the ultrasonic time is greatly shortened and the production efficiency is improved). After ultrasonic treatment, the mixture is filtered to remove solid residues and the clear filtrate is used for later use. (4) Alcohol precipitation and drying: Add an equal volume of anhydrous ethanol to the filtrate, mix thoroughly and let stand for 10-16 hours to allow pectin to precipitate fully; place the precipitate mixture in a centrifuge and centrifuge at 2800-3200 rpm for 15-25 minutes, and collect the pectin precipitate at the bottom; place the precipitate in an oven at 50-60℃ and dry to constant weight to obtain pear peel pectin product. The pectin yield under this process is ≥12%, and the yield can reach 14.2% under the optimal process conditions.

[0008] This invention uses Dangshan pear peel as raw material and employs a simplified process to extract pear peel pectin, which combines single enzymatic hydrolysis with high-temperature instantaneous enzyme inactivation and high-power short-time ultrasonic extraction. This process differs from the existing technologies that use complex enzymatic hydrolysis, low-power long-time ultrasonic extraction, and decolorization and concentration steps. The process parameters are set within a reasonable range, and the optimal pectin yield of 14.2% can be achieved within this range.

[0009] A method for preparing pear peel pectin-based anthocyanin microcapsules, characterized by comprising the following steps: (1) Preparation of whey protein solution: Add whey protein powder to deionized water and stir at room temperature (25~35min) to dissolve, so as to obtain a whey protein solution with a mass concentration of 2%~4% (w / v), and seal for later use; (2) Preparation of pear peel pectin solution: Pear peel pectin was added to deionized water and stirred and dissolved in a constant temperature water bath at 55~65℃ (1.5~2.5h) to obtain a clear pectin solution with a mass concentration of 0.8%~1.2% (w / v). The solution was cooled to room temperature and then used for later use. (3) Preparation of mixture and addition of anthocyanins: The mass ratio of pear peel pectin to whey protein is 1:2 to 1:4. While stirring, slowly pour the whey protein solution into the pectin solution (to avoid excessive local concentration that may cause the wall material to agglomerate). Then add 20 to 30% of the mass of the mixture to the mixture (mixed wall material solution) and stir evenly (so that the anthocyanins are evenly distributed in the wall material system, laying the foundation for subsequent encapsulation). (4) High-pressure homogenization: Transfer the anthocyanin-containing mixture into a high-pressure homogenizer, set the homogenization speed to 9000~13000 rpm, homogenize for 2~6 minutes, repeat the homogenization operation 2~3 times to make the mixture form a fine and uniform emulsion (to improve the encapsulation effect of the wall material on anthocyanins and enhance the compactness of the microcapsule structure). (5) pH adjustment: Use 1 mol / L hydrochloric acid solution to adjust the pH to 3.8~4.2 (this pH range enables the whey protein and pear peel pectin composite wall material to form a stable gel structure, further improving the encapsulation stability and thermal stability of the microcapsules). (6) Spray drying to prepare microcapsules: The emulsion with adjusted pH value is fed into the spray dryer, the inlet air temperature is set to 160~180℃, the outlet air temperature is set to 85~95℃, and the feed speed is set to 4%~6%. The equipment is started to carry out spray drying, and the dried powder product is collected to obtain pear peel pectin-based anthocyanin microcapsules.

[0010] Furthermore, in step (3), the mass ratio of pear peel pectin to whey protein is 1:3.

[0011] Furthermore, the storage method of the pear peel pectin-based anthocyanin microcapsules is as follows: the prepared anthocyanin microcapsules are placed in a sealed bag, excess air is removed from the bag, and then the bag is sealed and stored in a refrigerated environment at 2~6℃.

[0012] This invention uses pear peel pectin as one of the wall materials. Pear peel pectin and whey protein are compounded at a mass ratio of 1:2 to 1:4 to encapsulate anthocyanins. The process parameters are set within a reasonable range. Under the optimal conditions within the range, the microcapsule encapsulation rate can reach 95.03% (≥90%).

[0013] A method for applying pear peel pectin-based anthocyanin microcapsules in Four-Ingredient Pear Soup, characterized by the following steps: (1) Raw material processing: Select Dangshan crisp pears that are moderately ripe, free from pests and diseases, and free from mechanical damage (to ensure that the pear flesh is soft and glutinous and to avoid affecting the quality of pear soup due to raw material defects), peel and core them and set them aside; (2) First stage of steaming: Add the processed crisp pears to purified water, control the mass ratio of Dangshan crisp pears to purified water to be 18~22:23~27, and then place them in a steaming device. Set the power to 1900~2100W and the temperature to 210~230℃, and simmer for 50~60 minutes (to soften the pear flesh initially, fully release the pear aroma and flavor substances, and lay the foundation for subsequent flavor fusion) to obtain pear soup; (3) Second stage of steaming: Add 3.5~4.5g each of Poria cocos, lotus seeds, yam slices, and Euryale ferox to the pear soup, along with zero-calorie sugar and vitamin C. Control the mass ratio of Dangshan crisp pears to Poria cocos, lotus seeds, yam slices, Euryale ferox, zero-calorie sugar, and vitamin C to 180~220:3.5~4.5:3.5~4.5:3.5~4.5:3.5~4.5:4.0~5:0.08~0.12. Continue steaming at 1900~2100W power and 210~230℃ for 50~60 minutes (to fully dissolve the effective components of the four ingredients, adjust the sweetness of the pear soup with zero-calorie sugar, and enhance the antioxidant properties of the pear soup with vitamin C. This steaming process also allows the four ingredients to fully blend with the pear soup, effectively eliminating the medicinal smell). (4) Low-temperature preparation and sterilization: After steaming, the pear soup is naturally cooled to 55~65℃. Add 0.1-0.4% of the weight of Dangshan crisp pear pectin-based anthocyanin microcapsules to the pear soup, stir evenly and seal immediately. Sterilize at 55~65℃ for 20~30 minutes to obtain Sishen crisp pear soup.

[0014] This invention applies the pear peel pectin-based anthocyanin microcapsules prepared above to the preparation of Spring Nourishing Four Gods Crispy Pear Soup. The process involves segmented steaming at 1900~2100W / 210~230℃ followed by low-temperature addition of microcapsules at 55~65℃ to avoid high-temperature damage to the microcapsule structure, ensuring the activity and stability of anthocyanins, and simultaneously achieving a deep fusion of the flavors of the Four Gods ingredients and the pear soup.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: (1) The pear peel pectin extraction process of the present invention has the following advantages: ① The use of cellulase as a single enzymatic hydrolysate to replace the compound enzyme of the existing technology significantly reduces the enzyme cost, and the enzyme dosage range is accurately screened through single-factor experiments, providing controllable parameter basis for industrial production; ② High-temperature instantaneous enzyme inactivation avoids excessive degradation of pectin, and high-power short-time ultrasonic-assisted extraction replaces low-power long-time ultrasonic extraction, shortening the process time and improving production efficiency; ③ The decolorization and concentration steps in the existing process are eliminated, and direct alcohol precipitation and drying are performed, simplifying the process, and the purity of the obtained pear peel pectin meets the requirements for use as a wall material for food microcapsules, without the need for additional refining; the raw material and process costs are significantly reduced, and the pectin yield is ≥12%, reaching 14.2% under optimal conditions, which is better than the existing pear peel pectin extraction process.

[0016] (2) The preparation process of anthocyanin microcapsules of the present invention has the following advantages: ① Pectin extracted from pear peel, a by-product of pear processing, is used to replace commercial pectin, realizing the local high-value utilization of pear peel resources, reducing the cost of microcapsule wall materials, and the compatibility of pear peel pectin with pear soup system is better, avoiding problems such as turbidity and precipitation; ② The optimal compounding ratio of pear peel pectin to whey protein of 1:3 was determined. This ratio makes the composite wall material have both good emulsification and film-forming properties, significantly improving the encapsulation rate, which is much higher than the encapsulation effect of single wall materials. The encapsulation rate of the prepared anthocyanin microcapsules is ≥90%, reaching 95.03% under optimal conditions; ③ By adding microcapsules at a low temperature of 55~65℃, the damage to microcapsules caused by high-temperature cooking is avoided; the combination of high-pressure homogenization and precise pH control makes the microcapsule structure dense, greatly improving the thermal stability of anthocyanins, providing technical support for their application in the high-temperature processing system of pear soup, and realizing the nutritional upgrade of pear soup.

[0017] (3) The preparation process of the Four Gods Pear Soup of the present invention has the following advantages: ① The segmented steaming process at 1900~2100W / 210~230℃, compared with the traditional single long-term steaming, ensures that the pear flesh is soft and glutinous, the effective components of the Four Gods ingredients are fully dissolved, and avoids the deterioration of the flavor of the pear soup. At the same time, it effectively eliminates the medicinal smell of the Four Gods ingredients; ② The addition of microcapsules at a low temperature of 55~65℃ avoids the destruction of the microcapsule structure during the high-temperature steaming process, ensures the activity and stability of anthocyanins, and realizes the nutritional upgrade of the pear soup; ③ The addition of pear peel pectin-based microcapsules not only gives the pear soup a natural pink color and improves the color sensory of the product, but also improves the antioxidant properties of the product. Moreover, the microcapsules have good compatibility with the pear soup system, with no precipitation or turbidity, further improving the product quality; The prepared Four Gods Pear Soup has a double improvement in flavor and nutrition, excellent sensory quality, sensory score ≥88 points, and reaches 91.22 points under optimal conditions, which is far superior to the traditional Four Gods Pear Soup.

[0018] (4) Integrated process, adapted to industrial production: The process of "pear peel pectin extraction - anthocyanin microcapsule preparation - Sishen crisp pear soup application" is integrated. All process parameters are set within a reasonable range to adapt to process fluctuations in industrial production. All step parameters are clear and controllable. The equipment used is commonly used in the food industry and does not require special customization. The process is simplified, time is short, and production efficiency is high, making it suitable for large-scale industrial promotion.

[0019] (5) High added value of products and significant economic and social benefits: The technical solution of this invention significantly reduces the production cost of pectin wall material and Four Gods Crispy Pear Soup. At the same time, by adding anthocyanin microcapsules, the nutritional and sensory quality of the products is improved, and the added value of the products is increased. The recycling of pear peel resources is in line with the concept of green food processing and has significant economic and social benefits. Attached Figure Description

[0029] Pear peel pectin was extracted using a combination of enzymatic hydrolysis (cellulase + acidic protease), 175W ultrasound for 70 minutes, and decolorization and concentration processes, with the remaining raw materials and processing steps being the same as in Example 1. The results showed that the enzyme cost of this process was 60% higher than that of the present invention, the ultrasound time was 3.5 times that of the present invention, the pectin yield was only 12.0%, and the process steps were cumbersome and time-consuming, making it unsuitable for industrial production. Comparative Example 2
