Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the fields of bioengineering and health food technology, and in particular to a method for preparing a beauty-enhancing bird's nest complex peptide and its application. Background Technology

[0002] With rising living standards and increased health awareness, the oral beauty product market is experiencing rapid growth. Among them, collagen peptide products have become mainstream products in the beauty and anti-aging field due to their high safety, good absorption, and definite efficacy. Currently, most oral beauty peptide products on the market use single collagen peptides as their main ingredient. Although they can replenish skin collagen to some extent, they suffer from problems such as limited efficacy and poor synergistic effects, making it difficult to meet consumers' needs for comprehensive beauty and anti-aging.

[0003] To enhance product efficacy, some companies have begun to experiment with compounding collagen peptides with other active ingredients, such as adding elastin peptides, bird's nest peptides, and eggshell membrane extracts. However, existing technologies still have several drawbacks: traditional enzymatic hydrolysis processes retain less than 50% of the sialic acid from bird's nest and less than 1% of the extraction rate of the characteristic elastin components, desmokinin and isodesmokinin, resulting in low product bioactivity; ordinary eggshell membrane powder is simply pulverized, leaving the highly cross-linked keratin structure intact, resulting in extremely low water solubility and bioavailability, making it difficult to exert its skin barrier repair effects; traditional dry powder mixing processes cannot solve the problem of uniform distribution of trace active ingredients added at concentrations below 0.5%, causing large batch-to-batch quality variations and unstable efficacy; at the same time, the products generally have a strong bitter or fishy taste, requiring the addition of large amounts of flavorings and sweeteners to mask it, which not only affects the naturalness of the product but may also burden the health of some consumers. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the present invention proposes a method for preparing a beauty-enhancing bird's nest complex peptide and its application, thereby solving the above problems.

[0005] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows: a beauty and skin care bird's nest compound peptide, comprising the following raw materials in parts by weight: 0.15-0.25 parts bird's nest peptide, 2.0-3.0 parts elastin peptide, 90.5-91.5 parts cod collagen peptide, and 6.0-6.5 parts eggshell membrane.

[0006] Furthermore, the compound peptide comprises the following raw materials in parts by weight: 0.2 parts bird's nest peptide, 2.5 parts elastin peptide, 91.05 parts cod collagen peptide, and 6.25 parts eggshell membrane.

[0007] Furthermore, the bird's nest peptide is a small molecule peptide prepared by a stepwise enzymatic hydrolysis process. Specifically, after cleaning and removing impurities from the bird's nest, soaking it in purified water at 35-45℃ to soften it, adding purified water at a material-to-liquid ratio of 1:10-12 (g / mL) to form a slurry, first adding 0.15-0.2% of the dry weight of the bird's nest with trypsin, and enzymatically hydrolyzing for 1.2-1.5 hours at 42-45℃ and pH 7.0-7.5; then adding 0.1-0.15% of the dry weight of the bird's nest with a compound enzyme, wherein the compound enzyme is a mixture of fig protease and aminopeptidase at a mass ratio of (2-4):1, and continuing enzymatic hydrolysis at the same temperature for 0.8-1.2 hours; the enzymatic hydrolysate is then subjected to instantaneous enzyme inactivation at 90-100℃ for 4-6 minutes, centrifuged to collect the supernatant, ultrafiltered to retain components with a molecular weight ≤1000Da, and spray-dried to obtain the final product.

[0008] Furthermore, the elastin peptide is a specific elastin peptide derived from the bulbus arteriosus of the skipjack tuna heart, and the specific extraction method is as follows: (a) The defatted bob of the skipjack tuna heart was placed in a buffer solution of pH 3.5-4.5 and subjected to pulsed electric field-assisted swelling. The process parameters for pulsed electric field assisted swelling are: electric field strength 10-20kV / cm, pulse width 10-50μs, frequency 1-10Hz, processing time 1-5 minutes, and material temperature controlled below 20℃.

[0009] (b) Add elastase to the swollen material at an enzyme-to-substrate mass ratio of 1:(30-80), and hydrolyze at pH 7.5-8.5 and 40-50℃ for 0.5-1.5 hours. Then add trypsin and continue hydrolysis for 1-3 hours at an enzyme-to-substrate mass ratio of 1:(80-150). Inactivate the enzyme, centrifuge, and collect the supernatant. (c) Pass the supernatant through ultrafiltration membranes with molecular weight cutoffs of 3000 Da and 500 Da in sequence, and collect the retentate of 500-3000 Da; (d) Freeze-dry the retentate to obtain elastin peptide powder.

[0010] Furthermore, the cod collagen peptides are type I collagen peptides derived from deep-sea cod skin, and the specific extraction method is as follows: (a) After removing the scales and flesh from the deep-sea cod skin, chop it up and soak it in a 0.05-0.1 mol / L NaOH solution pre-cooled at 4°C for 4-8 hours to remove non-collagenous proteins. Wash it with water until neutral. (b) Place the treated fish skin in a 0.3-0.5 mol / L acetic acid solution and allow it to swell for 2-4 hours at a material-to-solution mass ratio of 1:8-12 and a temperature of 15-25℃. Then add pepsin at an enzyme-to-solution mass ratio of 1:(40-60) and enzymatically hydrolyze it for 3-6 hours at a pH of 2.0-3.5 and a temperature of 25-35℃. (c) Adjust the pH of the enzyme hydrolysate to 7.5-8.5, add trypsin at an enzyme-to-substrate mass ratio of 1:(80-120), continue enzymatic hydrolysis at 40-50℃ for 2-4 hours, inactivate the enzyme, centrifuge, and collect the supernatant. (d) The supernatant is decolorized and impurities are removed by passing it through a ceramic membrane with a pore size of 0.1-0.2 μm, and the permeate is collected; (e) Pass the permeate through an ultrafiltration membrane with a molecular weight cutoff of 800 Da, collect the permeate with a molecular weight cutoff of less than 800 Da, and concentrate it under reduced pressure to 1 / 5 to 1 / 10 of the original volume. (f) Slowly add ethanol to the concentrate until the ethanol volume fraction is 65%-75%, stir and let stand for 2-4 hours, collect the precipitate, wash with anhydrous ethanol and freeze dry to obtain cod collagen peptide powder with an average molecular weight ≤800Da.

[0011] Furthermore, the eggshell membrane powder is a soluble eggshell membrane extract obtained through low-temperature complex enzymatic hydrolysis, specifically through the following steps: (a) Eggshell membranes were subjected to airflow ultrafine grinding at a low temperature of 0-8℃ to obtain micro powder with a particle size D90≤20μm; (b) Disperse the micro powder in Tris-HCl buffer at a mass ratio of 1:(10-20) to pH 7.0-8.0, add glutathione or cysteine ​​to a final concentration of 5-15 mmol / L, and gently stir at 30-40℃ for 1-3 hours to open the keratin disulfide bond cross-linking structure. (c) Add keratinase to the mixture at an enzyme-to-base mass ratio of 1:(50-100) and hydrolyze at pH 7.5-8.5 and 40-50℃ for 2-4 hours; then add papain at an enzyme-to-base mass ratio of 1:(100-200) and continue hydrolyzing for 2-3 hours. Inactivate the enzyme, centrifuge, and collect the supernatant. (d) The supernatant was passed through an ultrafiltration membrane with a molecular weight cutoff of 3000 Da. The permeate was collected, concentrated under reduced pressure, and then freeze-dried to obtain a soluble eggshell membrane extract with good water solubility and high bioavailability.

[0012] A method for preparing a beauty-enhancing bird's nest complex peptide includes the following steps: S1. Premixing: Weigh out cod collagen peptides and eggshell membrane extract according to the ratio, and premix for 6-10 minutes under vacuum of -0.08MPa, 20-25℃ and 15-20rpm to form a uniform matrix. S2, Gradient Mixing: (1) Prepare an aqueous solution of elastin peptide with a mass concentration of 8-12%, and spray it evenly onto the matrix surface through an atomizing nozzle at a flow rate of 0.2-0.4 L / min. Maintain a rotation speed of 20 rpm during the spraying process, and continue mixing for 4-6 minutes after the spraying is completed. (2) Prepare an aqueous solution of bird's nest peptide with a mass concentration of 4-6%, and spray it evenly onto the matrix surface at a flow rate of 0.1-0.2 L / min. Maintain a rotation speed of 20 rpm during the spraying process. After spraying, continue mixing for 10 minutes and vacuum dry until the moisture content is ≤3%. S3. Post-processing: Continue mixing the mixed materials at the same temperature for 15-20 minutes, pass through an 80-mesh sieve, and aseptically dispense under nitrogen protection throughout the process to obtain the finished compound peptide product.

[0013] The above-mentioned beauty and skin-nourishing bird's nest complex peptide is used in the preparation of products with beauty and skin-nourishing functions, wherein the products are solid beverages, tablets, capsules, oral liquids or cosmetics.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: This invention utilizes a scientific blend of cod collagen peptides, elastin peptides, bird's nest peptides, and eggshell membrane extracts to construct a system that integrates exogenous supplementation, structural repair, and endogenous activation, achieving synergistic effects across multiple targets. A low-temperature stepwise enzymatic hydrolysis and flavor modification process thoroughly removes odors while maximally preserving core active ingredients such as sialic acid, desmodium / isodesmodium, and hydroxyproline, ensuring high bioactivity. Vacuum gradient spray mixing technology forms uniform particles, solving the problem of distributing trace active ingredients and ensuring consistent quality across batches. All peptides are optimized to a small molecular size range, allowing for direct absorption without digestion, significantly improving bioavailability. A comprehensive oxygen and moisture-proof stabilization process ensures the product maintains excellent physicochemical stability and sensory experience even after long-term storage at room temperature.

Example 2 A beauty and skin-nourishing bird's nest complex peptide is composed of the following raw materials in parts by weight: 0.15 parts bird's nest peptide, 2.0 parts elastin peptide, 90.5 parts cod collagen peptide, and 6.0 parts eggshell membrane.

[0025] The preparation method is the same as in Example 1.

[0026] Example 3 A beauty and skin-nourishing bird's nest complex peptide is composed of the following raw materials in parts by weight: 0.25 parts bird's nest peptide, 3.0 parts elastin peptide, 91.5 parts cod collagen peptide, and 6.5 parts eggshell membrane.

[0027] The preparation method is the same as in Example 1.

[0028] Comparative Example 1 The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that it was prepared using a traditional direct mixing method. All four raw materials prepared in Example 1 were directly mixed at 22°C and 20 rpm for 30 minutes.

[0029] Comparative Example 2 The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that the bird's nest peptide was prepared using a traditional single enzymatic hydrolysis process: after cleaning and removing impurities from the bird's nest, soaking and softening it, pure water was added at a material-to-liquid ratio of 1:11 (g / mL) to form a slurry, and 0.3% papain (from papaya latex, food grade, enzyme activity 800,000 U / g) was added. Enzymatic hydrolysis was carried out at 55℃ and pH 6.5 for 3 hours, followed by enzyme inactivation at 95℃ for 10 minutes. The final product was obtained by centrifugation, ultrafiltration, and spray drying. The preparation methods for the remaining raw materials and the complex peptide were the same as in Example 1.

[0030] Comparative Example 3 The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that the soluble eggshell membrane extract is replaced with ordinary eggshell membrane powder, which is only pulverized at 60 mesh and not subjected to enzymatic hydrolysis modification. The rest of the formulation and preparation method are exactly the same as in Example 1.

[0031] Comparative Example 4 The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that the pulsed electric field-assisted swelling step was removed during the preparation of the elastin peptides. Instead, the defatted bonito heart arterial bulb was directly immersed in a pH 4.0 buffer solution at room temperature for 3 hours. The remaining steps and parameters were exactly the same as in Example 1.

[0032] Comparative Example 5 The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that the glutathione step and the keratinase hydrolysis step were removed during the preparation of the eggshell membrane extract. Only papain was used for hydrolysis under the same conditions for 5 hours. The remaining steps were exactly the same as in Example 1.

[0033] Comparative Example 6 The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that the cod collagen peptide preparation does not involve the second enzymatic hydrolysis step with trypsin, but only uses pepsin for 7.5 hours under the same conditions. The remaining steps are exactly the same as in Example 1.

[0058] Meanwhile, visual inspection of the solution clarity showed that the Example group was clear and transparent with no precipitation, Comparative Example 3 had a white precipitate, and Comparative Example 5 was slightly turbid with a small amount of suspended matter. Results analysis: The mixing uniformity RSD of the example group was ≤1.0%, which proves that the vacuum gradient spray mixing process of the present invention can ensure excellent uniformity throughout the entire formulation range.

[0059] Compared with Comparative Example 1, Example 1 demonstrates that the vacuum gradient spray mixing process of this invention solves the industry problem of uneven mixing of trace amounts of bird's nest peptides, resulting in product quality uniformity far superior to traditional processes. Compared with Comparative Example 2, this invention's stepwise enzymatic hydrolysis process significantly reduces sialic acid degradation. Compared with Comparative Examples 3 and 5, the soluble eggshell membrane extract preparation process of this invention more fully degrades eggshell membrane keratin than single enzymatic hydrolysis, significantly improving water solubility and solving the problems of poor solubility and easy precipitation of ordinary eggshell membrane powder. Compared with Comparative Example 4, this invention demonstrates that pulsed electric field-assisted swelling can effectively disrupt the dense structure of the skipjack tuna's cardiac arterial bulb, significantly increasing the extraction rate of elastin characteristic components. Compared with Comparative Example 6, this invention's stepwise enzymatic hydrolysis process more fully hydrolyzes collagen, increasing the content of the characteristic amino acid hydroxyproline and enhancing product bioactivity.

[0080] Compared with Comparative Example 1, Example 1 shows that the gradient spray mixing process of the present invention ensures the uniform distribution of trace active ingredients, avoiding the decrease in efficacy caused by insufficient local concentration. Compared with Comparative Example 2, the stepwise enzymatic hydrolysis process of the present invention improves the sialic acid retention rate, significantly enhancing the product's ability to promote cell proliferation and collagen synthesis. Compared with Comparative Examples 3 and 5, the enzymatic hydrolysis process of the present invention can more thoroughly degrade eggshell membrane keratin than single enzymatic hydrolysis, releasing more bioactive small molecule peptides. The prepared soluble eggshell membrane extract can fully release natural repair factors and synergistically enhance fibroblast activity. Compared with Comparative Example 4, pulsed electric field-assisted swelling can improve the extraction rate of elastin characteristic components desmolide and isodesmolide. These components can not only replenish skin elasticity but also synergistically inhibit the activity of collagen-degrading enzymes. Compared with Comparative Example 6, the stepwise enzymatic hydrolysis process of the present invention increases the hydroxyproline content in cod collagen peptides.

[0081] III. Skin Barrier Repair Function Test The test was conducted using an EpiSkin3D reconstructed human skin model. 1. Operating Steps (1) Barrier damage modeling: The skin model was placed in a culture plate, 200 μL of 1% SDS solution was added to each well, and the plate was treated at 37°C for 2 hours. The plate was then gently rinsed 3 times with PBS to establish a skin barrier damage model.

[0082] (2) Sample administration: 200 μL of 5% sample solution was added to each well of the injury model group, and the normal control group and the injury control group were added with the same amount of PBS. The samples were then placed in an incubator and cultured for 24 hours.

[0083] (3) TEWL value determination: Take out the skin model, dry the surface liquid with filter paper, and use a skin water flow meter to measure the transepidermal water loss (TEWL) value. Each model is measured 3 times and the average value is taken.

[0084] 2. Calculation Barrier repair rate (%) = (TEWL value of damaged control group - TEWL value of experimental group) / (TEWL value of damaged control group - TEWL value of normal control group) × 100% 3. Test Results

[0085] Results analysis: The barrier repair rates of Examples 1, 2 and 3 were all ≥77.5%, with minimal differences between groups, indicating that the soluble eggshell membrane extract has a good skin barrier repair function.

[0086] Compared with Comparative Examples 3 and 5, Example 1 demonstrates that the soluble eggshell membrane extract prepared by the present invention can fully release hyaluronic acid, chondroitin sulfate and keratin small molecule peptides, significantly promoting the repair of damaged skin barriers; the compound enzymatic hydrolysis process can completely decompose keratin into bioactive small molecule peptides, greatly improving the repair effect.

[0087] IV. Sensory Evaluation This test strictly followed GB / T 16291.1-2012 "General Guidelines for the Selection, Training and Management of Sensory Analysis Evaluators". Twenty healthy volunteers aged 20-40 with no smoking history and no taste or smell disorders were recruited. After three days of professional training, 16 evaluators with high sensory sensitivity and good scoring consistency were selected to form a group. A three-point test combined with descriptive analysis was used for blind evaluation. During the test, all samples were randomly numbered. 5g of each sample was weighed and dissolved in 100mL of 40℃ purified water. The sample temperature was controlled at 35℃±1℃ and placed in identical white paper cups. A 10-point scale was used to evaluate the bitterness, fishiness, and overall acceptability. Evaluators fasted for one hour before the test and tasted the samples in random order. After tasting each sample, they rinsed their mouths with purified water and waited two minutes. They independently filled out the scoring sheet and calculated the average score for each indicator. Rating criteria: A 10-point scale is used for rating. Bitterness and fishiness: 10 points means no odor at all, 7-9 points means very slight and almost imperceptible, 4-6 points means slightly acceptable, and 1-3 points means obviously unacceptable. Overall acceptance is based on taste, flavor, color, etc. 10 points means very satisfied and willing to buy often, 7-9 points means relatively satisfied, 4-6 points means average, and 1-3 points means unsatisfied and will not buy.

[0088] The results showed that the bitterness score of the products in Examples 1-3 of this invention was 9.2-9.4, the fishy smell score was 9.5-9.6, and the overall acceptability score was 9.3-9.4. This is mainly because the stepwise enzymatic hydrolysis process of this invention hydrolyzes bitter peptides with aminopeptidase, while completely removing unsaturated fatty acids from fish raw materials, thus fundamentally eliminating bitterness and fishy smell. The products have a light and natural taste and can be consumed directly without the addition of flavorings or sweeteners, resulting in extremely high consumer acceptance.

[0089] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
