Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of functional dietary food technology, and in particular to a formulation and preparation method of violet leaf broken rice selenoprotein peptide and albumin peptide. Background Technology
[0002] In the current functional food sector, selenium supplements are mainly divided into three categories: inorganic selenium (such as sodium selenite), organic selenium (such as selenium yeast and selenoproteins), and plant-derived selenium-enriched extracts. Among these, the super-selenomeric plant Cardamine violifolia, due to its ability to naturally accumulate high levels of selenium, has been developed into a raw material for selenoproteins and selenium peptides. Meanwhile, albumin peptides, as small molecule peptides derived from egg white, are widely used in nutritional supplements to promote the intestinal absorption of minerals such as calcium, iron, and zinc due to their high similarity to the amino acid composition of human serum proteins and a bioavailability as high as 94.
[0003] Existing selenium supplements, primarily composed of selenoproteins or selenopeptides, have relatively large molecular weights (greater than 1000 Da), resulting in limited passive absorption efficiency in the intestines. Furthermore, the lack of specific carriers for selenium transport within the body leads to low bioavailability. While albumin peptides are known to promote mineral absorption, current technologies lack research on targeted formulations combining albumin peptides with specific molecular weight ranges and selenium forms from *Violet spp.* selenoprotein peptides. Moreover, the current technology offers no insights into whether albumin peptides can serve as active carriers for selenoamino acids, or whether there is a synergistic effect between the two in selenium supplementation. Additionally, most existing selenium supplements exist as single selenium sources, lacking complex formulation designs that leverage carrier peptides to enhance the active intestinal transport efficiency of selenium, thus limiting the effectiveness of selenium supplementation.
[0004] Therefore, in response to the problems mentioned above, this invention proposes a formulation and preparation method of violet leaf broken rice selenoprotein peptide and albumin peptide. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To overcome the problems of low selenium absorption efficiency, lack of specific transport carriers, and unclear synergistic mechanism between selenoprotein peptides and carrier peptides in existing selenium supplements, this invention proposes a combined formulation with specific molecular weight selenoprotein peptides and egg albumin peptides derived from Corydalis yanhusuo. By using albumin peptides as transport carriers, the active transport of selenoprotein peptides and their chelated selenium in the intestine is promoted, thereby achieving the technical effect of improving selenium absorption rate and synergistic effect of antioxidant effect.
[0006] The technical solution of this invention is: a formulation of violet leaf broken rice selenoprotein peptide and albumin peptide:
[0007] The core active ingredients of the formula include selenoprotein peptides derived from corydalis leaf and albumin peptides derived from egg white;
[0008] The violet leaf crushed rice selenoprotein peptide is a mixture of peptides with a molecular weight of less than 1000 Da obtained by extraction, enzymatic hydrolysis and ultrafiltration fractionation of the super-selenophytic plant violet leaf crushed rice. Its number average molecular weight is 461 Da and the total selenium content is 412.67 mg / kg. Its selenium form is mainly selenocysteine and violet leaf crushed rice plant selenopeptide (SeP, 100% organic selenium, mainly selenocysteine).
[0009] The albumin peptide is an ovalbumin peptide with a biological titer of 94 and contains all 20 amino acids.
[0010] The composition uses albumin peptides as a carrier to promote the active transport of selenoprotein peptides and their chelated selenium in the intestine, thereby achieving the unexpected technical effect of improving selenium absorption and synergistic antioxidant effect.
[0011] Preferably, the formula comprises the following components in parts by weight: 25-40 parts sorbitol, 10-20 parts Poria cocos powder, 10-20 parts albumin peptide, 3-6 parts bitter melon peptide powder, 3-5 parts Polygonatum sibiricum extract, 3-5 parts selenium-enriched corydalis leaf and rice bran protein peptide powder, 2-4 parts kudzu root extract, 2-4 parts green tea extract, 2-4 parts selenium-enriched Eucommia ulmoides leaf instant tea, 2-4 parts hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, and 0.8-1.6 parts magnesium stearate.
[0012] Preferably, the selenium content provided by the violet leaf broken rice selenoprotein peptide is 52-70 μg, the peptide mass provided by the albumin peptide is 80-100 mg, and the albumin peptide is a specific enzymatic hydrolysis product derived from egg white, with a molecular weight distribution range of 200-800 Da.
[0013] In the Viola yedoensis selenoprotein peptide, the sum of selenocysteine and Viola yedoensis plant selenopeptide (SeP, 100% organic selenium, mainly selenocysteine) accounts for more than 90% of its total selenium content.
[0014] The bitter melon peptide powder contains at least 0.3% 1-deoxynojirimycin, the polygonatum extract contains ≥20% polygonatum polysaccharide, and the selenium-enriched Eucommia ulmoides leaf instant tea contains no less than 2mg / kg of total selenium.
[0015] This invention proposes a method for preparing a formulation of violet leaf and rice porridge selenium protein peptide and albumin peptide, comprising the following steps:
[0016] S1. Sorbitol, Poria cocos powder, albumin peptide, bitter melon peptide powder, Polygonatum sibiricum extract, selenium-enriched Viola yedoensis and Coix lacryma-jobi protein peptide powder, Pueraria lobata extract, green tea extract, selenium-enriched Eucommia ulmoides leaf instant tea, and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose are dried separately at 60℃ for 4-6 hours to reduce the moisture content to ≤8%. Then, they are sieved through 80-mesh and 100-mesh double-stage sieves to remove coarse particles. Finally, the filtered materials are mixed according to the formula ratio and stirred in a horizontal mixer at 60-100 rpm for 10-15 minutes.
[0017] S2, the obtained mixture is fed into a roller press dry granulator, the roller pressure is set to 5-8MPa, the roller gap is controlled at 0.6-1.0mm, and it is pressed into a strip or sheet compacted material. Then the compacted material is fed into a high-speed rotary pulverizer for crushing, the speed is set to 800-1200rpm, the fragment particle size is controlled at 0.2-1.0mm, and finally the crushed material is sieved through a 0.8mm sieve to obtain uniform particles;
[0018] S3, add magnesium stearate (magnesium stearate addition amount is 0.5-1.0% of the total formula mass) to the granules obtained by dry granulation, and then mix in a horizontal mixer for 3-5 minutes, with the stirring speed controlled at 50-80 rpm;
[0019] S4. The granules are fed into a rotary tablet press and compressed into tablets. The mold diameter is 8-10mm. The weight of the tablet is controlled at 0.9-1.2g / tablet. The tableting pressure is set at 30-50kN. The hardness of the tablets after compression is 60-100N and the brittleness is less than 1.0%. The finished tablets are packaged in aluminum-plastic blister packs, with 10 tablets per blister pack and 0.5-1g of silica gel desiccant. After packaging, the tablets are stored in a dry environment with humidity ≤60% and temperature ≤25℃.
[0020] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0021] 1. This invention combines a specific molecular weight selenoprotein peptide derived from the super-selenomeric plant *Corydalis yanhusuo* with an egg albumin peptide. Using the albumin peptide as a carrier, the apparent intestinal permeability coefficient of the selenoprotein peptide is increased by 136.5% and the serum selenium concentration in rats is increased by 42.3% through a PepT1-mediated active transport pathway. This solves the technical problems of low passive absorption efficiency and lack of specific carriers in existing selenium supplements, achieving an unexpected and significant increase in selenium absorption rate.
[0022] 2. This invention achieves hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic functions in a diabetic mouse model through the synergistic effect of albumin peptides and selenoprotein peptides, while significantly increasing glutathione peroxidase activity and spleen and thymus indices. Its overall effect is significantly better than using selenoprotein peptides or inorganic selenium alone.
[0023] 3. This invention can significantly reduce the estimated glycemic index in noodle, steamed bun, and milk powder bases, providing a novel selenium-supplemented dietary product with high absorption rate and multiple functions for selenium-deficient individuals, patients with diabetes and hyperlipidemia, and those with cognitive decline and chronic low-grade inflammation.

[0061] Before the plant bolts, the content of selenocysteine (Secys2) was 1991.27 mg / kg, the content of plant selenophoretic peptide (SeP, 100% organic selenium, mainly selenocysteine) was 144.35 mg / kg, and selenomethionine (Semet) was not detected. The total content of the three selenoamino acids was 2135.62 mg / kg, and the total selenium was 4127.04 mg / kg, with selenoamino acids accounting for 51.75% of the total selenium. During the leafing stage, the content of Secys2 was 2012.56 mg / kg, SeP was 111.77 mg / kg, and the total content was 2124.32 mg / kg, with the total selenium being 3675.87 mg / kg, accounting for 57.79%. In the leaflets, Secys2 was as high as 2493.35 mg / kg, SeP was 440.50 mg / kg, Semet was 8.10 mg / kg, the total of the three selenoamino acids was 2941.95 mg / kg, and the total selenium was 5682.98 mg / kg, accounting for 51.77%. The flowers had the highest total selenium content, reaching 8936.17 mg / kg, but the selenoamino acids accounted for only 29.84%. In the buds, Secys2 was 3547.65 mg / kg, SeP was 762.24 mg / kg, Semet was 62.06 mg / kg, the total was 4371.95 mg / kg, and the total selenium was 7215.16 mg / kg, accounting for 60.59%, the highest proportion among all parts.
[0062] In this embodiment, the extraction of selenium protein from *Violet spp.* is described, specifically:
[0063] The above-mentioned violet leaf and water chestnut vegetable powder was used to extract selenoproteins using the alkali dissolution and acid precipitation method. Single-factor experiments were conducted to optimize the extraction conditions, investigating the effects of NaOH concentration, liquid-to-solid ratio, extraction temperature, extraction time, and extraction cycles on the yield and selenium content of selenoproteins.
[0064] Please see Figure 1-5 The optimal process parameters were determined as follows: NaOH solution concentration 0.1 mol / L, liquid-to-solid ratio 50:1 mL / g, extraction temperature 60℃, extraction time 3 hours, and extraction times 2. Under these conditions, after centrifugation, the pH of the supernatant was adjusted to the isoelectric point (approximately 4.5), allowed to settle, and the precipitate was collected by centrifugation and freeze-dried to obtain crude selenoprotein. Further purification was performed using membrane separation technology (ultrafiltration membrane with a molecular weight cutoff of 100 kD) to obtain pure selenoprotein from *Corydalis yanhusuo*.
[0065] The selenoprotein was found to have a purity of 40.50%, a total selenium content of 2009.128 ± 26.193 μg / g, and a molecular weight concentrated around 100 kDa. Selenium speciation analysis showed that its characteristic form was selenocysteine, indicating that selenoamino acids did not undergo significant degradation during extraction. This selenoprotein can be further used for enzymatic hydrolysis to prepare selenoprotein peptides.
[0066] Please see Figure 6-9 In this embodiment, the enzymatic hydrolysis preparation of *Violet Leaf Broken Rice* oligopeptides (selenoprotein peptides) is described, specifically:
[0067] Using the selenoprotein from *Violet spp.* as a substrate, enzymatic hydrolysis was performed using alkaline protease (pH 8.0, 50℃). Single-factor experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of enzyme dosage, substrate concentration, hydrolysis temperature, and pH on the degree of hydrolysis. With increasing enzyme dosage, the degree of hydrolysis initially increased rapidly and then leveled off, with the optimal enzyme dosage being 6.0% (based on substrate protein). The degree of hydrolysis peaked at a substrate concentration of 3.0%. The highest degree of hydrolysis was achieved at a hydrolysis temperature of 60℃, and pH 9.5 was the optimal pH. Under optimal conditions, after hydrolysis, the hydrolysate was heated to inactivate the enzyme (95℃, 10 min), centrifuged, and the supernatant was collected. Fractions with molecular weights less than 1 kDa were collected by ultrafiltration and freeze-dried to obtain *Violet spp.* oligopeptides (selenoprotein peptides, hereinafter referred to as SeCPPs).
[0068] Testing revealed that the oligopeptide contained 5.25% moisture, 49.01% protein, 412.67 mg / kg total selenium, 44.2% acid-soluble protein (90% of total protein), and 1.33% free amino acids, resulting in a calculated peptide content of 42.87%. Its number-average molecular weight was 461 Da, indicating it is primarily composed of small molecules with a molecular weight distribution range less than 1000 Da, consistent with the characteristics of small-molecule bioactive peptides. Selenium speciation analysis showed that selenium mainly existed as selenocysteine and *Violet spp.* selenium peptide (SeP, 100% organic selenium, primarily selenocysteine), with the two combined accounting for over 90% of its total selenium content.
[0069] This invention provides Embodiment 2:
[0070] The albumin peptide provided in this embodiment is an egg white albumin peptide, derived from fresh egg white, and cannot be replaced by other animal blood products. Its preparation method includes:
[0071] Fresh eggs were collected, egg whites were separated, and the pH was adjusted to 7.0-8.0. A complex protease (including trypsin and neutral protease) was added, and the enzymatic hydrolysis was performed at 50-55℃ for 3-5 hours. After hydrolysis, the enzyme was inactivated, and the mixture was separated by ultrafiltration (molecular weight cutoff 1000 Da). The permeate was collected, concentrated under vacuum, and spray-dried to obtain albumin peptide powder. Analysis showed that this albumin peptide contained all 20 amino acids, had a bioavailability of 94, a molecular weight distribution range of 200-800 Da, and a peptide content ≥85%. Its amino acid composition is highly similar to human serum albumin, making it one of the highest quality animal proteins currently recognized and a potential natural substitute for human serum albumin. Albumin peptides possess various physiological functions, including easy digestibility and absorption, low antigenicity, promotion of mineral absorption, and regulation of intestinal flora.
[0072] This invention provides embodiment 3:
[0073] This embodiment provides a composition formulation containing selenoprotein peptides and albumin peptides from *Corydalis yanhusuo*, with the core active ingredients being the selenoprotein peptides prepared in Example 1 and the albumin peptides prepared in Example 2.
[0074] The formula comprises the following components in parts by weight: 25-40 parts sorbitol, 10-20 parts Poria cocos powder, 10-20 parts albumin peptide, 3-6 parts bitter melon peptide powder, 3-5 parts Polygonatum sibiricum extract, 3-5 parts selenium-enriched corydalis leaf and rice bran protein peptide powder, 2-4 parts kudzu root extract, 2-4 parts green tea extract, 2-4 parts selenium-enriched Eucommia ulmoides leaf instant tea, 2-4 parts hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, and 0.8-1.6 parts magnesium stearate.
[0075] Among them, the selenium-enriched corydalis leaf and rice bran protein peptide powder is the selenoprotein peptide prepared in Example 1, which provides a selenium content of 52-70 μg (based on each unit of finished product), and the albumin peptide provides a peptide mass of 80-100 mg. The bitter melon peptide powder contains at least 0.3% 1-deoxynojirimycin, which has an auxiliary hypoglycemic effect; the polygonatum extract contains ≥20% polygonatum polysaccharide, which has an immunomodulatory effect; the selenium-enriched Eucommia ulmoides leaf instant tea has a total selenium content of not less than 2 mg / kg, forming a dual selenium source synergy with the corydalis leaf and rice bran selenoprotein peptide.
[0076] To verify the synergistic effect of albumin peptides and selenoprotein peptides, a comparative experiment was designed. SD rats were randomly divided into three groups: a control group (administered with an equal volume of physiological saline by gavage), a selenoprotein peptide group (administered with selenoprotein peptides equivalent to a selenium content of 60 μg / kg body weight), and a combination group (administered with selenoprotein peptides + albumin peptides, with the same selenium content, and the albumin peptide dose was 90 mg / kg body weight). After 28 days of continuous gavage, serum selenium concentration and hepatic glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity were measured. The results showed that the serum selenium concentration in the combination group was 42.3% higher than that in the selenoprotein peptide group (P<0.01), and the hepatic GSH-Px activity was 37.6% higher (P<0.01). Simultaneously, the apparent permeability coefficient (Papp) of selenium was measured using an in vitro Caco-2 cell monolayer model. The results showed that in the presence of albumin peptides, the Papp value of selenocysteine increased from (0.52±0.08)×10⁻ 6 cm / s increased to (1.23±0.11)×10⁻ 6 The absorption rate increased by 136.5% (cm / s). These results indicate that albumin peptides can act as a transport carrier, significantly promoting the intestinal absorption of selenoprotein peptides and their chelated selenium via the active transport pathway mediated by the small peptide transporter PepT1. This unexpected synergistic effect cannot be achieved by using selenoprotein peptides or albumin peptides alone.
[0077] This invention provides embodiment 4:
[0078] S1 involves hot-air drying sorbitol, Poria cocos powder, albumin peptides, bitter melon peptide powder, Polygonatum sibiricum extract, selenium-enriched Corydalis yanhusuo leaf and rice bran protein peptide powder, kudzu root extract, green tea extract, selenium-enriched Eucommia ulmoides leaf instant tea, and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose at 60℃ for 4-6 hours to reduce the moisture content to ≤8%. The drying time is adjusted appropriately based on the initial moisture content of the materials to ensure the final moisture content meets the standard.
[0079] The dried materials are then sieved sequentially through 80-mesh and 100-mesh double-stage sieves to remove coarse particles. The double-stage sieve design ensures uniform particle size and prevents large particles from affecting subsequent mixing and tableting.
[0080] Next, according to the formula ratio, add the sieved materials, along with any excipients that may be added to the formula, such as wheat oligopeptides, corn oligopeptides, collagen peptides, microcrystalline cellulose, maltodextrin, isomaltitol, erythritol, etc. (the specific addition depends on the product dosage form), into a horizontal mixer. Stir at 60-100 rpm for 10-15 minutes to ensure all materials are thoroughly mixed. The stirring speed should not be too fast to avoid overheating or static agglomeration of the materials.
[0081] S2. The resulting mixture is fed into a roller-type dry granulator. The roller pressure is set to 5-8 MPa, and the roller gap is controlled at 0.6-1.0 mm. Under these conditions, the mixture is pressed into strips or sheets. Dry granulation does not require the addition of wetting agents or binders, avoiding the degradation or migration of active ingredients that may occur in wet granulation. It is particularly suitable for heat-sensitive selenoprotein peptides and albumin peptides.
[0082] The compacted material is then fed into a high-speed rotary knives pulverizer for further crushing. The pulverizer speed is set to 800-1200 rpm. By adjusting the crushing time and screen aperture, the particle size of the fragments is controlled within the range of 0.2-1.0 mm. Particles within this size range have good flowability and compressibility.
[0083] Finally, the pulverized material is sieved through a 0.8mm sieve to remove excessively large or small particles, resulting in uniform dry granules. The sieved granules are then set aside for later use.
[0084] S3. Add magnesium stearate as a lubricant to the obtained dry granules. The amount of magnesium stearate added is 0.5-1.0% of the total formulation mass. The function of magnesium stearate is to reduce the friction between the granules and the die, and to prevent the granules from sticking during compression.
[0085] Mix the granules with added magnesium stearate in a horizontal mixer for 3-5 minutes at a speed of 50-80 rpm. The mixing time should not be too long, otherwise excessive magnesium stearate coating of the granules may affect tablet disintegration or dissolution.
[0086] S4. The lubricated granules are fed into a rotary tablet press, using a mold with a diameter of 8-10mm to compress them into tablets. The weight of the compressed tablets is controlled between 0.9-1.2g / tablet, with a weight difference within ±5%.
[0087] The tableting pressure is set at 30-50 kN. Under this pressure, the tablets have a hardness of 60-100 N and a friability of less than 1.0%. The appropriate hardness and low friability ensure the integrity of the product during transportation and storage, while not affecting its disintegration after oral administration.
[0088] The finished tablets are packaged in aluminum-plastic blister packs, with 10 tablets per blister pack, and 0.5-1g of silica gel desiccant is added to prevent moisture absorption. The aluminum-plastic blister pack has good moisture-proof and light-proof properties.
[0089] After packaging, the product is stored in a dry environment with humidity ≤60% and temperature ≤25℃, and the shelf life can reach 24 months.
[0090] This invention provides embodiment 5:
[0091] This example verifies the antioxidant, hypoglycemic, hypolipidemic, cognitive-enhancing, and anti-inflammatory effects of the formulation of this invention through experiments. This invention uses Viola yedoensis selenium protein, oligopeptides (selenoprotein peptides), and antioxidant selenium-rich peptides (SeCPPs) as research objects, and conducts systematic animal experiments and in vitro activity evaluations.
[0092] Please see Figure 10-12 In this embodiment, the hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic functions of selenoprotein are verified:
[0093] This study used an alloxan-induced diabetic mouse model. Mice with successfully induced diabetic conditions were randomly divided into four groups: blank control group, model group, positive drug group, water extract group, alcohol extract group, CPP group, selenoprotein group, CPP + low-selenoprotein group, CPP + high-selenoprotein group, hypoglycemic group, lipid-lowering group, and solid beverage group. Viola yedoensis selenoprotein was administered by gavage for four consecutive weeks. The experimental results are as follows:
[0094] (1) Oral glucose tolerance test: Compared with the model control group, the peak blood glucose level of mice in the selenoprotein group was significantly reduced after gavage glucose administration, and the area under the blood glucose curve was reduced, indicating that Viola yedoensis selenoprotein can significantly improve glucose tolerance in diabetic mice and has a hypoglycemic effect.
[0095] (2) Measurement of serum total cholesterol (TC) content: The serum TC content of the model group mice was significantly higher than that of the blank group. After selenoprotein intervention, the TC content decreased significantly with dosage.
[0096] (3) Serum triglyceride (TG) content determination: The serum TG content of mice in the selenoprotein group was significantly lower than that in the model group, indicating that selenoprotein has the effect of reducing triglycerides.
[0097] Please participate Figure 13-16 In this embodiment, the antioxidant and immunomodulatory functions of selenoproteins were verified:
[0098] In this case, the same animal model was used to measure serum glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity, serum insulin (INS) levels, spleen index, and thymus index.
[0099] (1) GSH-Px is an important selenium-containing antioxidant enzyme in the body, and its activity directly reflects selenium nutritional status and antioxidant capacity. The experimental results showed that the serum GSH-Px activity of the model group mice was significantly lower than that of the normal group (P<0.01). After administration of Viola yedoensis selenoprotein, the GSH-Px activity was greatly increased, and the high-dose group recovered to 92.5% of the normal level (P<0.01), indicating that selenoprotein can effectively supplement selenium and enhance the activity of the body's antioxidant enzyme system.
[0100] (2) The INS content of mice in the model group was high, while the INS content of mice in the selenoprotein group was significantly lower than that in the model group (P<0.05).
[0101] (3) The spleen and thymus are important immune organs of the body, and their organ indices reflect the state of immune function. Compared with the model group, the spleen index of mice in the selenoprotein group was significantly increased (P<0.05), and the thymus index was also increased (P<0.05), indicating that Viola yedoensis selenoprotein can enhance the body's cellular and humoral immune functions.
[0102] In this embodiment, the effects of selenium peptides and selenium polysaccharides on the activity of human glucose metabolism enzymes were verified:
[0103] This invention also investigated the effects of a compound of selenium polypeptide and selenium polysaccharide from *Violet spp.* on blood glucose concentrations in different staple food matrices (noodles, steamed buns, milk powder).
[0104] Results: Within 30 minutes of consuming noodles, steamed buns, and milk powder, blood glucose levels significantly decreased. This indicates that selenium peptides and selenium polysaccharides can significantly inhibit amylase activity and slow down the rate of carbohydrate digestion and absorption, thereby reducing postprandial blood glucose response. This function works synergistically with the bitter melon peptide powder (containing 1-deoxynojirimycin) in the formula, jointly playing a role in assisting in lowering blood sugar.
