Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of genetic engineering and discloses a method for preparing amylase from halophilic archaea and its application; specifically, it relates to a method for preparing a novel α-amylase, maltose amylase and glucoamylase from halophilic archaea and their combined application in the soy sauce brewing process. Background Technology
[0002] α-Amylase (EC 3.2.1.1) is an endoamylase belonging to the GH13 family of glycoside hydrolases. It acts on the α-1,4-glycosidic bonds within starch molecules but cannot cleave the α-1,6-glycosidic bonds. Its hydrolysis products are mainly dextrins and oligosaccharides. Maltose amylase (EC 3.2.1.133) hydrolyzes the α-1,4-glycosidic and α-1,6-glycosidic bonds in starch and related polysaccharide molecules, producing maltose and oligosaccharides. It belongs to the 20th subfamily of the GH13 family of glycoside hydrolases (GH13_20, also known as the neopulllanase subfamily). Glucoamylase (EC 3.2.1.3), also known as γ-amylase or saccharifying enzyme, is a typical exoglycosidase that sequentially hydrolyzes the α-1,4-glycosidic bonds at the non-reducing ends of starch molecules and the α-1,6-glycosidic bonds at the branching points, thereby completely hydrolyzing the starch molecule into glucose. These three types of enzymes are widely used in industrial production and are of significant value in the food, pharmaceutical, feed, and fermentation industries.
[0003] In the production of soy sauce, seafood seasonings, and other products, the starch in the raw materials is hydrolyzed into sugars. These hydrolysis products can serve as precursors to promote the formation of flavor compounds or as carbon source substrates for microbial fermentation. Currently, *Aspergillus oryzae* is often used as a single strain in industry, primarily producing neutral proteases. However, the activity of amylases (such as α-amylase and saccharifying enzymes) is limited by high-salt environments, resulting in the ineffective utilization of starchy raw materials. Therefore, adding multiple high-salt-tolerant amylases to the soy sauce production process allows for the efficient hydrolysis of starch substrates through the combined action of different types of amylases. This completely converts the raw starch into maltose and glucose, thereby promoting the enrichment of reducing sugars, enhancing the formation of soy sauce flavor compounds, and improving raw material utilization.
[0004] Halophilic archaea are mostly distributed in coastal mudflats, salt lakes, saline-alkali lands, and environments where high-salt preserved foods are processed. Their optimal growth salt concentration is usually no less than 15% (2.5 M NaCl), and some strains can survive under saturated salt conditions. Halophilic archaea excrete Na+ from their cells. + Simultaneously, intracellular absorption and enrichment of K +This helps maintain osmotic pressure balance inside and outside the cell. The enzymes they produce mainly form a negatively charged shield by increasing the number of acidic amino acid residues on the protein surface, creating a stable hydration layer on the protein surface, thus ensuring the structural stability of enzyme molecules in high-salt, low-water-activity environments. Furthermore, these enzymes generally possess excellent environmental tolerance, exhibiting excellent properties such as resistance to salt and alkali, high temperatures, and organic solvents. The safety of halophilic archaea has been certified as "practically non-toxic," making them an ideal source for screening and preparing high-salt-tolerant amylases. Currently, research on α-amylases from halophilic archaeas is relatively limited both domestically and internationally, and no relevant research has been found on maltose amylase and glucoamylase from halophilic archaeas. Therefore, using halophilic archaeas as starting strains to explore and obtain amylase resources that can tolerate high-salt environments has sufficient theoretical basis and practical feasibility. Summary of the Invention
[0005] This invention aims to provide a method for preparing α-amylase, maltose amylase, and glucoamylase from halophilic archaea, and their combined application in soy sauce brewing. The three types of halophilic archaea amylase maintain high catalytic activity and stability over a wide range of temperature, salinity, and pH, and exhibit significant differences in tolerance to metal ions, organic solvents, and surfactants. Without modifying existing production processes, α-amylase, maltose amylase, and glucoamylase are added to the soy sauce fermentation process at amounts of 0.02%, 0.01%, and 0.01% of the total fermentation volume, respectively. Measurements of reducing sugar content, color, and total free amino acids revealed that the combined use of these three enzymes increased the reducing sugar content by 32%, the yellow and red indices by 4.0% and 3.4%, respectively, and the total free amino acid content by 6.4%, demonstrating excellent application potential. Research on the purification process, enzymatic properties, and application of amylase in high-salt dilute soy sauce can provide theoretical and technical support for the practical application of halophilic archaea amylase, and at the same time provide new enzyme preparations for the fermented food industry, especially in the field of high-salt fermented foods.

Figure 12 The enzyme kinetics curve (a: α-Amy) Har b: MAA Hap c:GA Hap ), per milligram of α-amylase (α-Amy Har The maximum reaction rate when soluble starch is used as the substrate V max The kinetic constant is 12.48 mg / min.

[0084] The effect of combined use of three amylases on soy sauce Soy sauce starter culture was mixed with a saline solution (18% NaCl) at a ratio of 1:4 (w / v). The experimental group was supplemented with 0.02% α-amylase (α-Amylase). Har 0.01% maltose amylase (MAA) Hap ) and 0.01% glucoamylase (GA) Hap The control group did not receive any exogenous amylase. Fermentation was carried out at 40 ℃ for 30 days, with samples taken every 5 days to monitor changes in reducing sugar content, yellow index, and red index in the soy sauce supernatant. After fermentation, the types and contents of free amino acids were determined.
[0085] Figure 13 The graph shows the changes in reducing sugar content during fermentation. The results indicate that the reducing sugar content in soy sauce first increases and then decreases. In the early stages of fermentation, the activity of salt-tolerant amylase significantly increases the reducing sugar content; by day 10, the enzyme-added group had approximately 32% higher reducing sugar content than the control group. As fermentation time increases, enzyme activity gradually decreases, and the reducing sugars are utilized by microorganisms and undergo Maillard reactions with amino acids to form soy sauce pigments, leading to a gradual decrease in the reducing sugar content. Figure 14 The graph shows the changes in the yellow and red indices of soy sauce. During fermentation, both the yellow and red indices of the enzyme-added group were higher than those of the control group. After fermentation, the yellow index of the enzyme-added group (8.36) was nearly 4.0% higher than that of the control group (8.04), and the red index of the enzyme-added group (5.19) was nearly 3.4% higher than that of the control group (5.02). This indicates that the reducing sugar, a hydrolysis product of high-salt-tolerant amylase, can participate in the Maillard reaction with amino acids, which has a certain effect on improving the yellow and red indices of soy sauce, making the soy sauce brighter in color. Figure 15This is a heatmap showing the content of various free amino acids in soy sauce after fermentation. The total amount of free amino acids in the enzyme-added group (42.96 mg / mL) was 6.42% higher than that in the control group (40.37 mg / mL). It is speculated that this may be because amylase hydrolyzes starch into reducing sugars such as glucose, which makes the growth of microorganisms (such as Aspergillus oryzae, yeast, and lactic acid bacteria) more active, thereby enhancing the synthesis and secretion of proteases.
