Description

[0002] Food safety is an issue that constantly attracts the attention of governments and society. As people's living standards improve, advances in agricultural products, fermented products, health foods, and other fields have rapidly progressed. Organic fruits and vegetables, organic enzymes, and organic products have become popular and beloved by many people. Certified organic products are being developed widely around the world, and with the concept of "returning to nature and protecting the environment," organic products are attracting the attention of many manufacturers as a future trend in the international market.

[0003] In recent years, the growing demand for organic fermentation products has led to the development of organically certified nitrogen sources in the fermentation industry. Plant protein is an important organically certified nitrogen source for fermentation. Currently, organically certified plant protein raw materials are expensive, and the hydrolysis efficiency of conventional protein enzymes is generally low, making the production cost of organic nitrogen sources a major issue. Furthermore, enzymatic hydrolysis requires the addition of large amounts of enzymes and the adjustment of pH with acids and bases, making it difficult for the hydrolysate to obtain organic certification. Therefore, it is necessary to solve the problems associated with the production of organic nitrogen sources by developing a process that can efficiently hydrolyze plant proteins while still meeting organic certification standards.

(The Aspergillus niger strain is described in Chinese Patent Application No. 201911268295.X (Chinese Patent Publication No. 112940943).) DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0033] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and technical effect of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely. The embodiments described below are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Other embodiments that can be obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive work are all within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0034] Currently, there are two main problems with producing enzymatically hydrolyzed plant proteins that meet organic certification standards. First, there is room for improvement in the technology for enzymatically hydrolyzing plant proteins. The enzymes lack effective synergistic effects, resulting in low enzymatic hydrolysis efficiency and a low amino nitrogen conversion rate of about 30%, which makes the product expensive to manufacture. Second, the plant enzymatic hydrolysis process requires the addition of large amounts of multiple enzymes and the use of strong acids and bases to adjust the pH, making it difficult for the process to meet organic certification standards.

[0035] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, an organic solid-state fermentation enzyme preparation is provided, which is produced using solid-state fermentation with a protease-producing microorganism, and the organic solid-state fermentation enzyme preparation contains a neutral protease, an acid protease, an alkaline protease, a glucoamylase, and a cellulase.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in the above organic solid-state fermentation enzyme preparation, the enzymatic activity of the acidic protease is greater than 390 u / g, the enzymatic activity of the neutral protease is greater than 1500 u / g, the enzymatic activity of the alkaline protease is greater than 600 u / g, the enzymatic activity of the glucoamylase is greater than 400 u / g, and the enzymatic activity of the cellulase is greater than 130 u / g.

[0037] Furthermore, in the organic solid fermentation enzyme preparation, the enzymatic activity of the acidic protease is greater than 800 u / g, the enzymatic activity of the neutral protease is greater than 4000 u / g, the enzymatic activity of the alkaline protease is greater than 1000 u / g, the enzymatic activity of the glucoamylase is greater than 1500 u / g, and the enzymatic activity of the cellulase is greater than 300 u / g.

[0038] Furthermore, in the organic solid fermentation enzyme preparation, the enzyme activity of the acid protease is greater than 1200 u / g, the enzyme activity of the alkaline protease is greater than 2200 u / g, and the enzyme activity of the cellulase is greater than 1200 u / g.

[0039] However, the protease-producing microorganisms include one or more of Aspergillus oryzae, Aspergillus niger, and Bacillus subtilis, preferably Aspergillus oryzae and Bacillus subtilis, and the weight ratio of Aspergillus oryzae to Bacillus subtilis is preferably 70-90:10-30.

[0040] The present invention also provides a method for producing a semiconductor device comprising: (1) culturing a protease-producing microorganism to obtain a solid seed; (2) performing solid fermentation of the solid seed prepared in step (2) to obtain an organic solid-state fermentation enzyme preparation.

[0041] However, both the seed medium in step (1) and the solid fermentation medium in step (2) contain organic starch agricultural by-products and / or organic oil-pressed raw agricultural by-products, for example, the organic starch agricultural by-products may be one or more of organic rice, organic wheat, and organic corn, and the organic oil-pressed raw agricultural by-products may be organic bean rice cakes and / or organic rapeseed rice cakes.

[0042] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the seed medium in step (1) and the solid fermentation medium in step (2) both contain organic starch agricultural by-products and organic oil-extracted raw agricultural by-products, and the content of the organic starch agricultural by-products is 9-40% by weight, and the content of the organic oil-extracted raw agricultural by-products is 60-91% by weight.

[0043] Both the seed medium in step (1) and the solid fermentation medium in step (2) further contain organic vegetable protein powder, which may be organic rice protein powder and / or organic wheat protein powder, and preferably, the organic vegetable protein powder contains, by weight percentage, 60-80% organic rice protein powder and 20-40% organic wheat protein powder.

[0044] In the seed medium and solid fermentation medium, the ratio of the organic vegetable protein powder is 6-10%, and the ratio of organic starch agricultural by-products and / or organic oil-extracted agricultural by-products is 90-94%, assuming that the total weight of the medium is 100%.

[0045] Organic rice protein powder and / or organic wheat protein powder have a high protein content, most of which is alkaline-soluble protein, which can stimulate the fungus to secrete large amounts of neutral protease and alkaline protease, accelerating the enzymatic decomposition of protein structures in plants and significantly increasing the conversion rate of amino acid nitrogen.

[0046] In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the seed medium in step (1) and the solid fermentation medium in step (2) both contain 70-90% granular organic bean cake and 10-30% organic corn grain.

[0047] The solid-state fermentation described in step (2) is solid-state variable temperature fermentation, which includes first fermenting at 36 to 40°C for 6 to 20 hours, followed by fermenting at 28 to 32°C for 30 to 50 hours, and preferably includes first fermenting at 36 to 38°C for 8 to 15 hours, followed by fermenting at 28 to 30°C for 40 to 44 hours. The use of solid-state variable temperature fermentation can further enhance the enzymatic activity of the organic solid-state fermentation enzyme preparation and increase the conversion rate of amino acid nitrogen in plant proteins.

[0048] In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the method for producing the organic solid fermentation enzyme preparation includes the steps of: (1) A spore suspension was prepared by adding a strain of protease-producing microorganism to 10 mL of sterile water, and the spore concentration was 10 7 ~10 9 cfu / mL, inoculating the spore suspension into a seed medium at an inoculum amount of 0.3 to 0.5% (based on the weight of the medium) and culturing at 32 to 38°C for 2 to 4 days to obtain a solid seed of the protease-producing microorganism; (2) The protease-producing microorganism solid seed prepared in step (1) is introduced into a mixing inoculator at an inoculation amount of 0.3 to 0.5% (based on the weight of the medium) to inoculate the solid fermentation medium, and finally sent to a disk koji-making machine for koji-making cultivation, with regular ventilation and turning over the raw materials for cultivation, and fermented for 6 to 20 hours at an ambient temperature of 36 to 40°C and humidity of 90 to 95%, and when the product temperature rises, the ambient temperature is increased to 28 to 32°C and humidity is increased to 90 to 95%, and fermented for 30 to 50 hours. (3) drying the solid fermented product at a low temperature of 37 to 40°C to obtain an organic solid fermentation enzyme preparation.

[0049] The method for preparing the seed medium and solid fermentation medium of the present invention both includes the steps of weighing out each ingredient according to the formulation, adding 85 to 100% (based on the total weight of the ingredients) of water, mixing uniformly, and sterilizing at 121°C for 50 minutes.

[0050] The present invention also provides a method for producing an enzymatic hydrolyzed organic vegetable protein, which comprises enzymatically hydrolyzing the above-mentioned organic solid-state fermentation enzyme preparation or the organic solid-state fermentation enzyme preparation produced by the above-mentioned production method using an exogenous enzyme.

[0051] In the present invention, the term "external enzyme" refers to an enzyme of another origin that is added to the organic solid-state fermentation enzyme preparation, and may be, for example, one or more of papain, bromelain, neutral protease, acid protease, alkaline protease, glucanase, and cellulase. Preferably, the external enzyme comprises one or more of papain, acid protease, neutral protease, glucanase, and cellulase, and more preferably, papain, acid protease, neutral protease, glucanase, and cellulase. Preferably, the amount of the external enzyme used is 0.2 to 0.8%, based on the dry weight of the organic solid-state fermentation enzyme preparation, and more preferably, the external enzyme comprises 0.1 to 0.3% papain, 0.04 to 0.08% neutral protease, 0.02 to 0.04% acid protease, 0.01 to 0.02% glucanase, and 0.01 to 0.02% cellulase. The key to the enzymatic hydrolysis of vegetable proteins is the synergistic effect of multiple enzymes. The main purpose of adding complex enzymes is to further enrich the enzyme system of protease and cellulase and strengthen the synergistic effect. For example, papain, an endopeptidase, can effectively compensate for the shortcomings of the solid koji digestive enzyme system.

[0052] In the above method for producing an enzymatic hydrolysate of an organic vegetable protein, the enzymatic hydrolysis temperature is 45 to 55° C., the enzymatic hydrolysis time is 10 to 15 hours, and the enzymatic hydrolysis pH is preferably 4.5 to 7.5.

[0053] However, the pH adjuster for enzymatic decomposition is citric acid and / or sodium carbonate.

[0054] The method for producing the enzymatic hydrolyzed organic plant protein further comprises a step of slurrying the organic solid fermentation enzyme preparation before the enzymatic hydrolysis, and preferably, the dry matter content of the slurry at the time of slurrying is 12 to 16% by weight.

[0055] The method for producing the enzymatic hydrolyzate of organic vegetable protein further includes the steps of filtering, concentrating, and drying the enzymatic hydrolyzate in this order.

[0056] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the method for producing the organic plant protein enzymatic hydrolysate further comprises the following steps: (1) Water is added to the above organic solid fermentation enzyme preparation to prepare a reaction solution with a dry weight concentration of 12 to 16%, which is then subjected to a slurry treatment using a colloid mill. 0.2 to 0.8% of an external enzyme is added based on the dry weight of the reaction solution to carry out enzymatic hydrolysis. The enzymatic hydrolysis temperature is 45 to 55°C, the enzymatic hydrolysis pH is 4.5 to 7.5, and the enzymatic hydrolysis time is 10 to 15 hours. (2) Perlite is added to each of the above enzyme hydrolyzed solutions and mixed uniformly. The mixture is filtered through a plate and frame filter press, and the filtrate is concentrated by distillation under reduced pressure to obtain a concentrate with a dry matter content of 25 to 35%. Finally, organic maltodextrin is added to the concentrate with a mass fraction of 5 to 10%, and after stirring and dissolving, the concentrate is spray-dried to obtain an organic vegetable protein enzyme hydrolyzed product.

[0057] The present invention also provides an organic vegetable protein enzymatic hydrolysate produced by the above-mentioned production method, which has a total nitrogen content of more than 9% and an amino acid nitrogen content of more than 4.5%, based on the dry weight of the organic vegetable protein enzymatic hydrolysate.

[0058] This invention uses protease-producing microorganisms to carry out solid-state variable-temperature fermentation to obtain a fermentation product rich in acid protease, neutral protease, alkaline protease, cellulase, and glucoamylase. By adding a small amount of external enzymes, the synergistic and complementary effects of the enzyme system can be achieved, greatly improving the enzymatic degradation efficiency of plant proteins. The entire process essentially does not require the addition of chemicals such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, or sodium hydroxide, and can meet the requirement of less than 5% of external non-organic certified substances, thereby meeting the European Union's organic certification standards.

[0059] The present invention also provides use of the above-mentioned enzymatic hydrolysate of organic plant protein as an organic nitrogen source in the field of fermentation using yeast, lactic acid bacteria or Bacillus subtilis.

[0060] The present invention also provides use of the above-mentioned enzymatic hydrolysate of organic vegetable protein as an organic umami seasoning or basic seasoning in the field of food seasoning.

[0061] The present invention also provides use of the above organic solid fermentation enzyme preparation as an organic protease in the enzymatic hydrolysis of vegetable proteins.

[0062] The beneficial effects of the organic solid fermentation enzyme preparation, the organic plant protein enzymatic hydrolysate and the method for producing the same described in the present invention will be further explained below with specific examples.

[0063] See Table 1 for the suppliers of raw materials and equipment used in the examples and comparative examples of the present invention. [Table 1]

[0073] Perlite was added to the above organic vegetable protein enzymatic hydrolyzate and mixed uniformly, then the mixture was filtered under pressure using a plate and frame filter press to obtain a filtrate, which was then concentrated under reduced pressure until the dry matter concentration reached 25% to obtain a concentrate. Finally, 10% by weight of organic maltodextrin (based on the mass of the concentrate) was added to the concentrate, which was stirred to dissolve, and then spray-dried to obtain an organic vegetable protein enzymatic hydrolyzate.
