Description
Application and composition of postbiotics of Lactobacillus paracasei ET-22 Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the application and composition of postbiotics of Lactobacillus paracasei ET-22, and relates to the field of microbial technology. Background Art
[0002] At present, postbiotics are attracting much attention as a hot research field. In 2021, the International Scientific Association of Probiotics and Prebiotics (ISAPP) published a consensus statement on postbiotics. Postbiotics refer to preparations of inanimate microorganisms and / or their components that are beneficial to host health. As derivatives of prebiotics and probiotics, postbiotics have multiple potential benefits. They can regulate intestinal flora, enhance intestinal barrier function, regulate intestinal inflammatory responses, etc., thereby having a positive impact on human intestinal health. In addition, the biological activity of postbiotics is not limited to the intestine. It also has biological activities such as inhibiting oral pathogens and regulating lung inflammatory responses. As people's understanding of intestinal health and microbiome continues to deepen, postbiotics are considered to be a potential functional food and health management method, and have received special attention from the industry. At present, reports on the bioactivity of postbiotics mainly refer to the bioactivity of probiotics or bacteria. Lactobacillus paracasei ET-22 is a relatively typical postbiotic strain. Previous studies have found that Lactobacillus paracasei ET-22 has potential in regulating blood pressure and sleep, but the specific form and preparation method of the product will affect its performance, such as thermal stability.
[0003] Bad breath is a widespread oral health concern, impacting not only personal health but also psychological and social well-being. Research has shown that some probiotics and their postbiotics can inhibit the growth of oral pathogens and regulate the immune system. For example, Lactobacillus paracasei L9 and Bifidobacterium animalis A6 can effectively alleviate gingival bleeding, periodontal inflammation, and alveolar bone resorption, while also reducing the relative proportion of pathogenic bacteria such as Streptococcus, Fusobacterium, and Veillonella, thereby preventing periodontitis. Other studies have shown that Lactobacillus paracasei ET-22, extracted from the infant intestine, inhibits the growth of Streptococcus mutans biofilms and the synthesis of bacterial water-soluble and water-insoluble polysaccharides, effectively preventing dental caries.
[0004] Live Lactobacillus paracasei ET-22 bacteria and their postbiotics have been shown to improve bad breath. The live bacteria can adhere and colonize in the mouth, competing with bad breath-causing bacteria for attachment sites, further inhibiting their growth and improving bad breath. However, postbiotics cannot adhere and colonize, and their active ingredients are still unknown.

From 7.6 to 7.8 minutes, mobile phase B was reduced from 51.5% to 0% at a flow rate of 0.6 mL / min to 0.5 mL / min. From 7.8 to 9 minutes, mobile phase B was maintained at 0% at a flow rate of 0.5 mL / min to 0.4 mL / min. From 9 to 10 minutes, mobile phase B was maintained at 0% at a flow rate of 0.4 mL / min. The column temperature was 40°C.

Sheath gas flow rate was 50 psi, auxiliary gas flow rate was 13 psi, auxiliary gas heating temperature was 425°C, ion spray voltage was set to 3500 V in positive mode and -3500 V in negative mode, ion transfer tube temperature was 325°C, and normalized collision energy was cycled from 20–40–60 V. The primary mass spectrometer resolution was 60,000, and the secondary mass spectrometer resolution was 7500. Data were acquired in DDA mode.
[0145] The composition of small molecule active substances in the lysate of Lactobacillus paracasei ET-22 was determined by non-targeted metabolomics LC-MS, revealing that they are primarily composed of peptides, organic acids, and nucleotides. See Table 1 for details.
[0146] Table 1 Core components in cytolysate
[0147] According to Table 1, the peptides in the ET-22 lysate include GPRPK, Asp-Leu, Asp-Phe, and GP(Hyp)GAG (structure shown in Formula 1); organic acids include 6-hydroxyhexanoic acid, 3-aminoglutaric acid, nonacid, 2-hydroxy-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propionic acid, 2-hydroxysuccinic acid, and 2-hydroxy-3-phenylpropionic acid; and nucleotides include nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and xanthine dinucleotide (FAD). Formula 1 is as follows:
[0148] 1.4 Isolation and purification of peptidoglycan
[0149] Peptidoglycan is obtained by inactivating the bacteria of Lactobacillus paracasei ET-22 by high-temperature heating and then is separated from the heat-inactivated bacteria.
[0150] In a specific embodiment, Lactobacillus paracasei ET-22 can be first inoculated into a solid culture medium for culture recovery, and then a single colony can be inoculated into a liquid culture medium for fermentation. After the bacteria grow to the logarithmic phase, the fermentation liquid and the bacteria are separated and the solid bacteria are collected.
[0151] Subsequently, the collected bacteria were resuspended in sterile water for heat inactivation at a temperature of 90-150°C. After inactivation for 5-15 minutes, the bacteria were taken out and cooled to room temperature, and the heat-inactivated bacteria were collected by filtration.
[0152] Finally, peptidoglycan was isolated and extracted from the heat-killed bacteria. The heat-killed bacterial precipitate was resuspended in PBS buffer, ultrasonically disrupted, and then centrifuged to obtain the precipitate. The precipitate was boiled in 4% SDS solution for 30 minutes, and then 10% TCA was added to remove the phosphate walls and proteins in the heat-killed bacteria. A mixed solvent including sodium acetate, chloroform and methanol was then added for degreasing. The product was then treated with alkaline protease and trypsin complex enzyme solution at 37°C for 12 hours, and then boiled with 1% SDS solution for 10 minutes to wash the SDS to trace amounts. The product was then dialyzed for 2 days, with the water changed every 8 hours. The precipitate was collected and freeze-dried in a vacuum to obtain peptidoglycan.
[0153] Specifically, the revived bacterial solution in 1.1 was centrifuged at 4500 rpm for 10 minutes, the precipitate was washed three times with sterile water, and resuspended in sterile water. The solution was then sterilized at 100°C for 10 minutes, and the bacterial solution was centrifuged at 10000 rpm for 10 minutes to obtain the precipitate as the heat-killed bacteria.
[0154] The heat-killed bacterial pellet was resuspended in PBS buffer, ultrasonically disrupted at 240w for 30 minutes, and then centrifuged to obtain the pellet. The pellet was then boiled in a 4% SDS solution for 30 minutes, and then 10% TCA was added. After standing for a period of time, a mixed solvent (sodium acetate: chloroform: methanol = 4:5:10 by volume) was added. The pellet was then treated with alkaline protease and trypsin complex enzyme solution at 37°C for 12 hours, and then boiled with a 1% SDS solution for 10 minutes. The SDS was washed to trace amounts, and then dialyzed for 2 days, with the water changed every 8 hours. The pellet was vacuum freeze-dried to obtain a white powder or light yellow powder, which is peptidoglycan.
[0155] Example 2: Verification of the effects of cytolysate, two nucleotides (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and xanthine dinucleotide (FAD)), five organic acids, four peptides, and peptidoglycan on bad breath
[0156] Fresh saliva was collected from 10 subjects with bad breath (Halimeter index > 120). The subjects were asked not to consume any food or drink for 2 hours before donating saliva and spit saliva directly into a saliva collection tube. 5 ml of saliva was collected from each person, mixed, centrifuged at 4500 rpm for 10 minutes, and the supernatant was collected and stored at -80°C for subsequent experimental research.
[0157] (I) The effects of cytolysate, two nucleotides (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and xanthine dinucleotide (FAD)), five organic acids, four peptides, and peptidoglycan on VSC concentration were determined in vitro using a Halimeter.
[0158] Lysate observation group: 100 μl of saliva was first added to a 10 ml sample bottle, followed by the addition of ET-22 live bacteria (1.0×10 9 CFU / ml), ET-22 heat-killed bacteria (1.0×10 9 CFU / ml of live bacteria were inactivated) and cell lysate (1.0×10 9 100 μl of each of the 1.8 ml SHI medium (CFU / ml of viable bacteria) was inactivated and filtered, and then 1.8 ml of SHI medium was added. After nitrogen was filled, anaerobically cultured for 10 hours, and then placed in a 60°C water bath for incubation for 30 minutes. The VSC concentration was then determined using the Halimeter in vitro assay method.
[0159] Two nucleotide groups: In a 10 ml sample bottle, first add 100 μl of saliva, then add ET-22 live bacteria (1.0×10 9 CFU / ml), ET-22 heat-killed bacteria (1.0×10 9 CFU / ml of viable bacteria were inactivated), 100 μl each of NAD and FAD (500 μg / ml, 100 μg / ml, 10 μg / ml), and then 1.8 ml of SHI medium was added. After nitrogen was filled, anaerobically cultured for 10 hours, and then placed in a 60°C water bath for incubation for 30 minutes. The VSC concentration was then determined using the Halimeter in vitro assay method.
[0160] Five organic acid groups: 100 μl of saliva was first added to a 10 ml sample bottle, followed by the addition of ET-22 live bacteria (1.0×10 9 CFU / ml), ET-22 heat-killed bacteria (1.0×10 9 CFU / ml of viable bacteria obtained after heat inactivation) and 100 μl of each of five organic acid components (500 μg / ml, 100 μg / ml, 10 μg / ml), were added to 1.8 ml of SHI medium, and cultured anaerobically for 10 hours after nitrogen was filled. Then, it was placed in a 60°C water bath and incubated for 30 minutes, and the VSC concentration was determined by the Halimeter in vitro determination method.
[0161] Four peptide observation groups: 100 μl of saliva was first added to a 10 ml sample bottle, followed by the addition of ET-22 live bacteria (1.0×10 9 CFU / ml), ET-22 heat-killed bacteria (1.0×10 9CFU / ml of viable bacteria obtained after heat inactivation) and 100 μl of each of the four polypeptide components (500 μg / ml, 100 μg / ml, 10 μg / ml) were added, and then 1.8 ml of SHI medium was added. After nitrogen was filled, anaerobically cultured for 10 hours, and then placed in a 60°C water bath for incubation for 30 minutes, and then the VSC concentration was determined by the Halimeter in vitro determination method.
[0162] Peptidoglycan group: 100 μl of saliva was first added to a 10 ml sample bottle, followed by the addition of ET-22 live bacteria (1.0×10 9 CFU / ml), ET-22 heat-killed bacteria (1.0×10 9 CFU / ml of viable bacteria were inactivated) and peptidoglycan (1.0×10 9 100 μl of each of the peptidoglycans extracted from viable bacteria with a CFU / ml was added to 1.8 ml of SHI medium, and the mixture was anaerobically cultured for 10 hours after nitrogen was filled. The mixture was then placed in a 60°C water bath and incubated for 30 minutes. The VSC concentration was then determined using the Halimeter in vitro assay method.
[0163] In the Examples of the present invention, the above-mentioned lysate group, two nucleotide group, five organic acid group, four polypeptide group, and peptidoglycan group all used SHI medium, whose formula composition was: 10 g / L peptone, 5 g / L trypsin protein, 5 g / L yeast extract, 2.5 g / L potassium chloride, 5 mg / L hemin, 1 mg / L vitamin K, 0.06 g / L urea, 0.174 g / L arginine, 2.5 g / L porcine gastric mucin, 5% sterile defibrinated sheep blood, 10 mg / L N-acetylmuramic acid, 1% sucrose, and distilled water.
[0164] The results of the lysate analysis are shown in Figure 1. After simulated fermentation, the CK group had the highest VSC concentration, exceeding 200 ppm, with a noticeable unpleasant odor. Compared with the control group (CK group), VSC concentrations significantly decreased after intervention with live ET-22 bacteria (ET22-L), heat-killed ET-22 bacteria (ET22-HK), and lysate (p < 0.05).
[0165] The results of the two nucleotide groups are shown in Figure 11. Under the three nucleotide concentrations, the NAD group showed a significant decrease in VSC concentration compared to the CK group at both high and medium concentrations (p < 0.05), but no significant change at low concentrations (p > 0.05). The FAD group showed no significant change compared to the CK group at any concentration (p > 0.05). Therefore, NAD was identified as the core active ingredient, and subsequent experiments were conducted.
[0166] The results of the five organic acid groups are shown in Figure 21. Under intervention with the three concentrations of the organic acid components, the high-concentration 2-hydroxy-3-phenylpropionic acid group significantly reduced VSC concentration compared to the control group (p < 0.05). At the medium-concentration intervention, the 2-hydroxy-3-phenylpropionic acid group also significantly reduced VSC concentration compared to the control group (p < 0.05). At the low-concentration intervention, no significant changes were observed in any of the components compared to the control group. Therefore, 2-hydroxy-3-phenylpropionic acid was identified as the core active ingredient, and subsequent experiments were conducted.
[0167] The results of the four peptide groups are shown in Figure 31. In Figure 31, A shows the change in VSC concentration after intervention with 500 μg / ml of peptide, B shows the change in VSC concentration after intervention with 100 μg / ml of peptide, and C shows the change in VSC concentration after intervention with 10 μg / ml of peptide. As shown in Figure 31, only GP(HYP)GAG significantly reduced VSC concentration compared to the CK group at high and medium concentrations of the peptide components under intervention (p < 0.05). Therefore, GP(HYP)GAG was identified as the core active ingredient.
[0168] The results of the peptidoglycan group are shown in Figure 40. After simulated fermentation, the CK group had the highest VSC concentration, exceeding 200 ppm, with a noticeable unpleasant odor. Compared with the control group, the ET-22 live bacteria group (designated ET22-L), the ET-22 heat-killed bacteria group (designated ET22-HK), and the peptidoglycan intervention group showed significant decreases in VSC concentration (p < 0.05).

[0176] Helium was used as the carrier gas at a rate of 1.1 mL min -1The injector temperature was set to 250°C. The oven temperature program was as follows: 40°C for 1 min, then increased to 120°C at a rate of 8°C / min, then to 230°C at a rate of 5°C / min and held for 10 min. The mass spectrometer was operated in electron ionization (EI) mode with an ion source temperature of 230°C, an interface temperature of 200°C, and an m / z scan range of 30–400. To identify specific compounds, their mass spectra were compared with those of authentic compounds listed in the NIST 17 database (V.05). The minimum match mass for both forward and reverse matches was 75 / 100. The flavor profile of each compound was determined using data from the Good Scents Company Information System (http: / / www.thegoodscentscompany.com).
[0177] In this example, a total of 241 volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were detected, including 51 alkanes, 60 esters, 27 alcohols, 20 acids, 19 ketones, 20 alkenes, 9 aldehydes, 7 phenols, and 28 other types. Results of the lysate group: Figure 1 shows the improvement effect of the lysate isolated from the ET-22 heat-killed bacteria on the VSC concentration, and Figure 2 shows the changes in the number of various compounds under the intervention of the lysate. According to Figure 2, the number of ester compounds significantly decreased and the number of alcohols significantly increased under the intervention of the lysate (p < 0.001); Results of the NAD group: Figure 12 shows the changes in the number of various compounds under the intervention of NAD, using ET22-L to represent the live bacteria intervention group and ET22-HK to represent the heat-killed bacteria intervention group. According to Figure 12, The amount of alkane compounds and acid compounds decreased significantly under NAD intervention (p < 0.01). Studies have shown that alkane compounds are products of bacterial fatty acid metabolism and decomposition. Other studies have shown that alkane substances are closely related to the production of microorganisms, and one of the causes of bad breath may be related to the degradation of fatty acids. Results of the 2-hydroxy-3-phenylpropionic acid group: Figure 22 shows the changes in the amount of various compounds after 2-hydroxy-3-phenylpropionic acid intervention. ET22-L represents the live bacteria intervention group, and ET22-HK represents The heat-killed bacteria intervention group, as shown in Figure 22, showed that the alkane compounds were significantly reduced after the intervention of 2-hydroxy-3-phenylpropionic acid (p < 0.01).

ET22-L represents the live bacteria intervention group, and ET22-HK represents the heat-killed bacteria intervention group. According to Figure 32, It is known that acid compounds were significantly reduced after GP(Hyp)GAG intervention (p<0.001), and one of the causes of bad breath may be related to the degradation of fatty acids; the results of peptidoglycan: Figure 41 shows the changes in the quantity of various compounds under the intervention of peptidoglycan. According to Figure 41, the number of alkane compounds was significantly reduced (p<0.05), the number of alcohols was significantly increased (p<0.001), and the number of olefin compounds was also significantly increased (p<0.001). In addition, the number of ester compounds also increased.
[0178] Of the 241 VOCs, 71 were identified as aroma-active VOCs, which were divided into six categories (esters, alcohols, acids, ketones, phenols, and other compounds). This example further examined the changes in the content of these 71 aroma-active VOCs under the intervention of lysates. The test results are shown in Figure 3. Esters and acids are the most flavor-active VOCs, and the amount of flavor-active ester compounds was significantly reduced after intervention with ET22-L, ET22-HK, and lysates (p < 0.05). This example also further examined the changes in the content of these 71 aroma-active VOCs under the intervention of NAD. The test results are shown in Figure 13. The amount of flavor-active acid compounds was also significantly reduced after NAD intervention (p < 0.001), and acid compounds are the most flavor-active VOCs. This example further examined the changes in the content of these 71 aroma-active VOCs under the intervention of 2-hydroxy-3-phenylpropionic acid. The test results are shown in Figure 23.

Esters are the most flavor-active VOCs, and the number of flavor-active ester compounds was significantly reduced after the intervention of ET22-L, ET22-HK, and peptidoglycan (p < 0.05).
[0179] 2.2 Investigating the effects of cytolysate, NAD, 2-hydroxy-3-phenylpropionic acid, GP(Hyp)GAG, and peptidoglycan on characteristic flavor compounds
[0180] Since oral odor is not limited to VSCs, indoles and short-chain fatty acids (such as propionic acid and butyric acid) may also contribute. Indole is a compound with an unpleasant odor, hexanoic acid is a compound with a sour, cheesy odor, and propanoic acid has been shown to cause bad breath. Therefore, this example tested the effects of cytolysate, NAD, 2-hydroxy-3-phenylpropionic acid, GP(Hyp)GAG, and peptidoglycan on indole, hexanoic acid, and propanoic acid. In one embodiment, the characteristic flavor compounds include one or more of indole, hexanoic acid, and propionic acid.
[0181] The test results of the lysate are shown in Figure 4. In Figure 4, A shows the effect of the lysate on the indole concentration, B shows the effect of the lysate on the propionic acid concentration, and C shows the effect of the lysate on the hexanoic acid concentration. It can be seen that under the intervention of ET-22 live bacteria, ET-22 heat-killed bacteria, and lysate, the concentrations of indole, hexanoic acid, and propionic acid were significantly reduced (p < 0.01), and the intervention effect of the lysate on propionic acid and hexanoic acid was better than that of ET-22 live bacteria and their heat-killed bacteria.

In Figure 14, A is the effect of NAD on indole concentration, B is the effect of NAD on propionic acid concentration, and C is the effect of NAD on hexanoic acid concentration. It can be seen that under the intervention of ET-22 live bacteria, ET-22 heat-killed bacteria and NAD, the concentrations of indole, hexanoic acid and propionic acid were significantly reduced (p<0.01), and the intervention effect of NAD was better than that of ET-22 live bacteria and its heat-killed bacteria.
[0183] The test results of 2-hydroxy-3-phenylpropionic acid are shown in Figure 24. In Figure 24, A is the effect of 2-hydroxy-3-phenylpropionic acid on the indole concentration, B is the effect of 2-hydroxy-3-phenylpropionic acid on the propionic acid concentration, and C is the effect of 2-hydroxy-3-phenylpropionic acid on the hexanoic acid concentration. It can be seen that under the intervention of ET-22 live bacteria, heat-killed bacteria and 2-hydroxy-3-phenylpropionic acid, the concentrations of indole, hexanoic acid and propionic acid were significantly reduced (p<0.01), and the inhibitory effect of 2-hydroxy-3-phenylpropionic acid was better than that of ET-22 live bacteria and heat-killed bacteria.
[0184] The test results of GP(Hyp)GAG are shown in Figure 34, where A shows the effect of GP(Hyp)GAG on indole concentration, B shows the effect of GP(Hyp)GAG on propionic acid concentration, and C shows the effect of GP(Hyp)GAG on hexanoic acid concentration. It can be seen that under the intervention of ET-22 and its heat-killed bacteria, the concentrations of indole, hexanoic acid and propionic acid were significantly reduced (p<0.01), and no hexanoic acid and propionic acid were detected under the intervention of GP(Hyp)GAG, indicating that the polypeptide GP(Hyp)GAG has a good inhibitory effect on characteristic flavor compounds.
[0185] The test results of peptidoglycan are shown in Figure 43. In Figure 43, A is the effect of peptidoglycan on the concentration of indole, B is the effect of peptidoglycan on the concentration of propionic acid, and C is the effect of peptidoglycan on the concentration of hexanoic acid. It can be seen that under the intervention of ET-22 live bacteria, ET-22 heat-killed bacteria and peptidoglycan, the concentrations of indole, hexanoic acid and propionic acid were significantly reduced (p<0.01), and the intervention effect of peptidoglycan on hexanoic acid was better than that of ET-22 live bacteria and their heat-killed bacteria.
[0186] (III) Investigating the effects of cytolysates, NAD, 2-hydroxy-3-phenylpropionic acid, and peptidoglycan on the biomass of multispecies biofilms
[0187] The relationship between biofilm biomass and the severity of bad breath was analyzed by evaluating biofilm formation under the intervention of ET-22 live bacteria, heat-killed bacteria, lysates, NAD, 2-hydroxy-3-phenylpropionic acid, and peptidoglycan. The test methods include:

[0197] The measurement results of the lysate group are shown in Figure 5. The optical density reading of the biofilm in the CK group was the highest at 595 nm. Compared with the CK group, the biomass of the biofilm decreased after intervention with ET22-L and ET22-HK (p < 0.05), and the intervention effect of the lysate on the biofilm biomass was better than that of the live ET-22 bacteria and their heat-killed bacteria.

[0213] The observation results of the lysate observation group are shown in Figures 6a-6d. The biofilm structure of the CK group was dense, with rod-shaped and spherical bacteria stacked and intertwined in layers, with more bacterial layers and a larger amount of bacteria; while the number of rod-shaped bacteria in the ET-22.L group increased, the number of bacterial layers decreased, and the biofilm became thinner; the biofilm of the ET-22.HK group was similar to that of the ET-22.L group, except that most of the bacteria were short rods and cocci, and almost no extracellular matrix was produced; the biofilm structure of the lysate group was looser, the number of bacterial layers also decreased, and more extracellular matrix was produced between most bacteria. Some streptococci also formed a tight island biofilm covered by a large amount of mucus or reticular structure.
[0214] The observation results of the NAD observation group are shown in Figures 16a-16d. The biofilm structure of the CK group was dense, with rod-shaped and spherical bacteria stacked and intertwined in layers, with more bacterial layers and a larger bacterial amount; while the number of rod-shaped bacteria in the biofilm of the ET-22.L group increased, the number of bacterial layers decreased, and the biofilm became thinner; the biofilm of the ET-22.HK group was similar to that of the ET-22.L group, except that most of the bacteria were short rods and cocci, and there was almost no extracellular matrix production; the biofilm structure of the NAD group had a larger number of bacterial layers, but a smaller bacterial amount.

GP(Hyp)GAG Group: Observation results are shown in Figure 35. The biofilm structure of the CK group was dense, with interwoven layers of various rod-shaped and spherical bacteria, a large number of bacterial layers, and a high bacterial count. In contrast, the biofilm of the ET-22.L group showed an increase in the number of rod-shaped bacteria, a decrease in bacterial layers, and a thinner biofilm. The biofilm of the ET-22.HK group was similar to the ET-22.L group, except that the majority of bacteria were short rods and cocci, and there was almost no extracellular matrix production. The biofilm of the GP(Hyp)GAG group showed almost no visible bacterial morphology, and the biofilm structure was loose, consisting mostly of densely packed microscopic extracellular matrix and some mucus-like biofilm. This suggests that the peptide GP(Hyp)GAG can effectively improve biofilm thickness.

Biofilm thickness was then measured at different locations on the HA disc, and a bar graph was plotted, as shown in Figure 8. Figures 7a-7d and 8 show that compared with the CK group, both live ET-22 and heat-killed ET-22 significantly reduced biofilm thickness (p < 0.0001). Lysate also reduced biofilm thickness (p < 0.05), demonstrating a superior intervention effect on biofilm thickness compared to live ET-22 and its heat-killed counterparts.
[0230] The results of the NAD observation group are shown in Figures 17a-17d. Biofilm thickness was then measured at different locations on the HA disc and plotted as a bar graph in Figure 18. Figures 17a-17d and 18 show that both live and heat-killed ET-22 significantly reduced biofilm thickness compared to the CK group (p < 0.0001), while NAD intervention had no significant effect.
[0231] The observation results of the 2-hydroxy-3-phenylpropionic acid observation group are shown in Figures 27a-27d. Subsequently, the biofilm thickness at different locations on the HA disc was measured and plotted as a bar graph in Figure 28.

[0234] (6) Construct an in vitro model of oral biofilm and investigate the effects of cytolysate, NAD, 2-hydroxy-3-phenylpropionic acid, polypeptide GP(Hyp)GAG, and peptidoglycan on the biofilm.
[0235] 6.1 Construction of an in vitro oral biofilm model:
[0236] 100 μl of saliva was added to a 24-well plate. Then, 100 μl of the corresponding concentration solution was added to each experimental group. Finally, 800 μl of SHI medium was added. The plate was placed in an anaerobic chamber and incubated anaerobically at 37°C for 10 hours. The supernatant was discarded. The biofilm adhered to the plate was a multispecies biofilm. After discarding the supernatant from the incubated biofilm, the biofilm adhered to the bottom of the plate was resuspended by pipetting with sterile water and transferred to a 1.5 ml centrifuge tube for storage until the sample was sequenced.
[0237] 6.2 Investigating the effects of cytolysates, NAD, 2-hydroxy-3-phenylpropionic acid, polypeptide GP(Hyp)GAG, and peptidoglycan on halitosis-causing bacteria in multispecies biofilms
[0238] Based on the sequencing results, the bad breath pathogens in the biofilm were identified, and a total of four key bad breath pathogens were identified, namely Fusobacterium nucleatum, Streptococcus mutans, Prevotella intermedia and Solobacterium moorei. These four bacteria have been shown to be positively correlated with VSC concentrations. Prevotella intermedia is a periodontal pathogen, and it and Fusobacterium nucleatum have also been shown to be able to produce indole through the tryptophan metabolic pathway. Therefore, this example uses cytolysate, NAD, 2-hydroxy-3-phenylpropionic acid, and polypeptide GP (Hyp) GAG to intervene in the bad breath pathogens in the biofilm, and evaluates the changes in the relative abundance of the pathogens after the intervention; in addition, Intermediate Universal Bacteria are periodontal pathogens that can produce indole through the tryptophan metabolic pathway. Therefore, this example also uses peptidoglycan to intervene in Intermediate Universal Bacteria in the biofilm, and evaluates the changes in the relative abundance of Intermediate Universal Bacteria after the intervention.
[0239] The analysis results of the lysate group are shown in Figure 9. In Figure 9, A shows the effect of lysate intervention on the bad breath pathogen Prevotella intermedia, B shows the effect of lysate intervention on the bad breath pathogen Streptococcus mutans, C shows the effect of lysate intervention on the bad breath pathogen Fusobacterium nucleatum, and D shows the effect of lysate intervention on the bad breath pathogen Solobacterium moorei. In summary, ET-22.L, ET-22.HK, and lysate all inhibit the growth of bad breath pathogens, and lysate has a significant inhibitory effect on the growth of Streptococcus mutans.
[0240] The analysis results for the NAD group are shown in Figure 19 . Figure 19 shows the changes in the relative abundance of the halitosis-causing bacteria Prevotella intermedia after NAD intervention, Figure B shows the changes in the relative abundance of the halitosis-causing bacteria Streptococcus mutans after NAD intervention, Figure C shows the changes in the relative abundance of the halitosis-causing bacteria Fusobacterium nucleatum after NAD intervention, and Figure D shows the changes in the relative abundance of the halitosis-causing bacteria Solobacterium moorei after NAD intervention. As shown in Figure 19 , compared with the CK group, both live and heat-killed ET-22 bacteria significantly inhibited the growth of halitosis-causing bacteria, but the effect of NAD intervention was not significant.
[0241] The analysis results of the 2-hydroxy-3-phenylpropionic acid group are shown in Figure 29. In Figure 29, A is a graph showing the change in the relative abundance of the bad breath pathogen Prevotella.intermedia after intervention with 2-hydroxy-3-phenylpropionic acid, B is a graph showing the change in the relative abundance of the bad breath pathogen Streptococcus.mutans after intervention with 2-hydroxy-3-phenylpropionic acid, C is a graph showing the change in the relative abundance of the bad breath pathogen Fusobacterium.nucleatum after intervention with 2-hydroxy-3-phenylpropionic acid, and D is a graph showing the change in the relative abundance of the bad breath pathogen Solobacterium.moorei after intervention with 2-hydroxy-3-phenylpropionic acid. As shown in Figure 29, 2-hydroxy-3-phenylpropionic acid can significantly inhibit the growth of Solobacterium.moorei (p < 0.05), and the inhibitory effect is better than that of live ET-22 bacteria or heat-killed bacteria.
[0242] The analysis results of the polypeptide GP(Hyp)GAG group are shown in Figure 38. In Figure 38, A shows the effect of polypeptide GP(Hyp)GAG intervention on the bad breath pathogen Prevotella.intermedia, B shows the effect of polypeptide GP(Hyp)GAG intervention on the bad breath pathogen Streptococcus.mutans, C shows the effect of polypeptide GP(Hyp)GAG intervention on the bad breath pathogen Fusobacterium.nucleatum, and D shows the effect of polypeptide GP(Hyp)GAG intervention on the bad breath pathogen Solobacterium.moorei. As shown in Figure 38, GP(Hyp)GAG can significantly inhibit the growth of Solobacterium.moorei (p<0.05), and its inhibitory effect is better than that of live ET-22 bacteria or heat-killed bacteria.
[0243] The analysis results of the peptidoglycan group are shown in FIG48 . Compared with the CK group, the live ET-22 bacteria, the heat-killed ET-22 bacteria, and the peptidoglycan can significantly inhibit the growth of the bad breath pathogen E. intermedius.
[0244] 6.3 Investigating the effects of cytolysates, NAD, 2-hydroxy-3-phenylpropionic acid, polypeptide GP(Hyp)GAG, and peptidoglycan on virulence factors in multispecies biofilms
[0245] This example evaluates the effects of cytolysate, NAD, 2-hydroxy-3-phenylpropionic acid, polypeptide GP(Hyp)GAG, and peptidoglycan on oral halitosis virulence factors, including cdl, fadA, mgl, and gtfb. The gene cdl regulates the expression of L-cysteine dehydrogenase, which catalyzes the degradation of protein substrates to produce VSCs, which in turn causes bad breath. Fusobacterium nucleatum secretes an amyloid-like adhesin (fadA) via a fap2-like autotransporter to enhance its toxicity. Adhesins play a key role in the pathogenicity of Fusobacterium nucleatum, and fadA refers to the mRNA encoding this adhesin. L-methionine-α-deamino-γ-mercaptomethane lyase (METase) can produce α-ketobutyrate, ammonia, and CH3SH from L-methionine. Anaerobic bacteria, through the METase encoded by mgl, can also produce large amounts of VSCs. gtfB is the most common virulence gene, encoding glucosyltransferases (Gtfs). Glycosyltransferases are involved in the adhesion of Streptococcus mutans and other bacteria to biofilms. Studies have shown that deletion of the gtfB gene in Streptococcus mutans reduces bacterial accumulation.
[0246] Test methods include:
[0247] (1) Extraction of RNA from biofilm bacteria: The extraction method of RNA from biofilm bacteria (biofilm bacterial RNA) was based on the RNAprep Pure cultured bacteria / cell total RNA extraction kit from TIANGEN.
[0248] (2) Reverse transcription
[0249] The reverse transcription system is shown in Table 2. Add the following reagents to a PCR tube in an ice bath:
[0250] Table 2 RNA reverse transcription cDNA system
[0251] Perform reverse transcription reaction on a PCR instrument according to the conditions in Table 3:
[0252] Table 3 PCR reaction procedure
[0253] (3) RT-PCR detection
[0254] After the sample RNA was reverse transcribed into cDNA, RT-PCR reaction was performed to detect biofilm-related virulence factors. The primer sequences are shown in Table 4. The experimental results were calculated using 2 -△△CT Calculation method.
[0255] Table 4 RT-PCR primer sequences for biofilm-associated virulence factors
[0256] The analysis results of the lysate group are shown in Figure 10. In Figure 10, A shows the relative proportion changes of the halitosis virulence factor cdl after lysate intervention, B shows the relative proportion changes of the halitosis virulence factor fadA after lysate intervention, C shows the relative proportion changes of the halitosis virulence factor mgl after lysate intervention, and D shows the relative proportion changes of the halitosis virulence factor gtfb after lysate intervention. As shown in Figure 10, compared with the CK group, live ET-22 bacteria, heat-killed ET-22 bacteria, and lysates all modulated the expression of virulence factors, and the lysates had a greater inhibitory effect on the expression of the virulence factor fadA than live ET-22 bacteria and heat-killed bacteria.
[0257] The analysis results of the NAD group are shown in Figure 20. In Figure 20, A is a graph showing the relative proportion changes of the bad breath virulence factor cdl after NAD intervention, B is a graph showing the relative proportion changes of the bad breath virulence factor fadA after NAD intervention, C is a graph showing the relative proportion changes of the bad breath virulence factor mgl after NAD intervention, and D is a graph showing the relative proportion changes of the bad breath virulence factor gtfb after NAD intervention. As shown in Figure 20, compared with the CK group, both ET-22 live bacteria and ET-22 heat-killed bacteria can regulate the expression of virulence factors, but the intervention effect of NAD is not obvious. In summary, NAD mainly reduces the content of characteristic flavor compounds such as indole, propionic acid, and hexanoic acid by reducing volatile sulfides (VSCs) and saliva volatile compounds (VOCs) in the oral cavity, and reducing the content of characteristic flavor compounds such as indole, propionic acid, and hexanoic acid, thereby having the effect of freshening breath and alleviating and inhibiting bad breath.
[0258] The analysis results of the 2-hydroxy-3-phenylpropionic acid group are shown in Figure 30. In Figure 30, A is a graph showing the relative proportion changes of the bad breath virulence factor cdl after intervention with 2-hydroxy-3-phenylpropionic acid, B is a graph showing the relative proportion changes of the bad breath virulence factor fadA after intervention with 2-hydroxy-3-phenylpropionic acid, C is a graph showing the relative proportion changes of the bad breath virulence factor mgl after intervention with 2-hydroxy-3-phenylpropionic acid, and D is a graph showing the relative proportion changes of the bad breath virulence factor gtfb after intervention with 2-hydroxy-3-phenylpropionic acid. As shown in Figure 30, 2-hydroxy-3-phenylpropionic acid can significantly regulate the four bad breath virulence factors (p < 0.05), and its inhibitory effect on the virulence factor fadA is better than that of ET22-L and ET22-HK.
[0259] The analysis results of the polypeptide GP(Hyp)GAG group are shown in Figure 39. In Figure 39, A shows the changes in the bad breath virulence factor cdl after the intervention of polypeptide GP(Hyp)GAG, B shows the changes in the bad breath virulence factor fadA after the intervention of polypeptide GP(Hyp)GAG, C shows the changes in the bad breath virulence factor mgl after the intervention of polypeptide GP(Hyp)GAG, and D shows the changes in the bad breath virulence factor gtfb after the intervention of polypeptide GP(Hyp)GAG. As shown in Figure 39, the polypeptide GP(Hyp)GAG can significantly regulate the four bad breath virulence factors (p<0.05), and its inhibitory effect on the virulence factors cdl and fadA is better than ET22-L and ET22-HK. Part 6.2 of the experiment has confirmed that GP(Hyp)GAG can inhibit the growth of Fusobacterium.nucleatum. We speculate that GP(Hyp)GAG may inhibit the growth of Fusobacterium.nucleatum by regulating the expression of cdl and fadA genes, thereby further reducing the production of VSC.
[0260] The analysis results of the peptidoglycan group are shown in Figure 49. In Figure 49, A is a graph showing the relative proportion changes of the bad breath virulence factor cdl after peptidoglycan intervention, B is a graph showing the relative proportion changes of the bad breath virulence factor fadA after peptidoglycan intervention, C is a graph showing the relative proportion changes of the bad breath virulence factor mgl after peptidoglycan intervention, and D is a graph showing the relative proportion changes of the bad breath virulence factor gtfb after peptidoglycan intervention. As shown in Figure 49, compared with the CK group, ET-22 live bacteria, ET-22 heat-killed bacteria, and peptidoglycan can all regulate the expression of virulence factors, but the regulatory effect is slightly worse than that of ET-22 live bacteria and its heat-killed bacteria. In summary, peptidoglycan mainly plays a role in freshening breath and alleviating and inhibiting bad breath by reducing the content of volatile sulfides (VSCs) and saliva volatile compounds (VOCs) in the oral cavity and reducing the content of characteristic flavor compounds such as indole, propionic acid, and hexanoic acid.
[0261] The above research analysis shows that:
[0262] The embodiments of the present invention provide a use and composition of a Lactobacillus paracasei ET-22-derived lysate for freshening breath and / or alleviating and inhibiting bad breath. The lysate can significantly reduce the content of volatile sulfides (VSCs) and saliva volatile compounds (VOCs) in oral breath, reduce the content of characteristic flavor compounds, and can change the oral flora, inhibit the growth of oral biofilms and pathogenic bacteria, and has the effects of freshening breath and alleviating and inhibiting bad breath.

[0264] The use and composition of 2-hydroxy-3-phenylpropionic acid for breath freshening provided in the embodiments of the present invention can significantly inhibit the formation of characteristic flavor compounds and reduce the concentrations of key volatile odor compounds such as indole, propionic acid, and hexanoic acid; and can also change the oral flora, especially reduce the number and thickness of biofilms, inhibit biofilm formation and the growth of pathogenic bacteria in the oral cavity, thereby having the effects of freshening breath and alleviating and inhibiting bad breath.
[0265] The embodiments of the present invention provide a breath-freshening peptide, its application, and a composition comprising the peptide. The amino acid composition of the peptide (as shown in Formula 1) is glycine-proline-hydroxyproline-glycine-alanine-glycine, which can significantly inhibit the formation of volatile organic compounds in the oral cavity and reduce the concentrations of key volatile odor compounds such as indole, propionic acid, and hexanoic acid; it can also change the oral flora, inhibit the growth of oral biofilms and pathogenic bacteria, and has the effects of freshening breath and alleviating and inhibiting bad breath.

[0267] The embodiment of the present invention also provides a Lactobacillus paracasei ET-22 secretin, a preparation method and an application thereof, to obtain a product with antioxidant properties.
[0268] The Lactobacillus paracasei ET-22 secretin of the embodiment of the present invention refers to a product obtained by extracting water-soluble metabolites of Lactobacillus paracasei ET-22 and exocytosis of Lactobacillus paracasei ET-22 in bacterial mud separated from Lactobacillus paracasei ET-22 fermentation broth.
[0269] An embodiment of the present invention further provides a Lactobacillus paracasei ET-22 secretin, comprising exocytosis of Lactobacillus paracasei ET-22 and metabolites of Lactobacillus paracasei ET-22, wherein the mass ratio of citric acid to L-methionine in the secretin is greater than 15:1, and the preservation number of the Lactobacillus paracasei ET-22 is CGMCC No.15077.
[0270] In the embodiment of the present invention, the bacteriocin mainly includes components such as exocytosis and bacterial metabolites. As the bacteriocin is extracted, the concentrations of citric acid and L-methionine in the bacteriocin gradually increase. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the concentrations of L-methionine and citric acid are used to characterize the bacteriocin.
[0271] The Lactobacillus paracasei ET-22 secretin in the embodiment of the present invention has an antioxidant function and can be applied to food and medicine. Compared with a mixture including intact dead cells + cell wall components + cell membrane components + cell-free supernatant, the secretin in the embodiment of the present invention is a liquid or water-soluble powder, which has more advantages in use in some liquid beverages and medicines.

Substitute the calculated target concentration into the regression equation to calculate the colony count before inactivation.
[0448] Comparative Example 1
[0449] This comparative example provides a fermented inactivated strain of Lactobacillus paracasei ET-22, the preparation method of which comprises the following steps: 1. Preparation of tertiary seeds, same as in Example 3. 2. Preparation of fermentation seeds, same as in Example 3. 3. Fermentation broth culture, same as in Example 3.
[0450] 4. Bacteria inactivation
[0451] Sterile purified water was mixed with the bacterial sludge and resuspended to obtain a mixed solution (the concentration was the same as in Example 3), and the mixed solution was heat sterilized at temperatures of 70°C, 80°C, 90°C, 100°C, and 121°C for 10 min.
[0452] Test Example 1: 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylphenylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging
[0453] 200 μL of 0.2 mM DPPH solution was mixed with 200 μL of mixed solution (10 9 cfu / mL) as raw material for the bacteriocin or inactivated bacteria and incubate at 25°C in the dark for 30 minutes. The control group was replaced with an equal volume of PBS (pH 7.4), while the blank group was replaced with an equal volume of PBS (pH 7.4) instead of the DPPH free radical solution. After centrifugation at 2,000 × g for 10 minutes, the absorbance of the solution was measured at 517 nm. The calculation formula is as follows:
[0454] Test Example 2: Hydroxyl Radical Scavenging
[0455] A total of 1.0 mL of the mixture (10 9 cfu / mL) as the starting material for the bacteriocin or inactivated bacteria. After adding 20 mM H₂O₂ (1.0 mL), the mixture was incubated in a 37°C water bath for 90 min. The absorbance was measured at 536 nm. The hydroxyl radical scavenging activity was calculated as follows:
[0456] In the embodiment of the present invention, the components of the inactivated bacteria obtained in Comparative Example 1 were detected by LC-MS, and the peak areas greater than 10 4 The components of the bacteriocin were screened to obtain targets that characterize the inactivated bacteria components. The target screening criteria include: ① the component does not exist before heat sterilization, or the content of the component before heat sterilization is much lower than the content of the component after heat sterilization; ② within the experimental range, it can stably exist under different heat sterilization conditions (content change range ≤ 20%). It was found that 6 substances can be used as potential detection targets, namely: Proly-Alanine, L-Methionine, Citric Acid, bAsp-Leu, bAsp-Phe, Antiarrhythmic peptide, GRPPK. At the same time, the 6 detection targets in the bacteriocin were detected, and it was found that only citric acid and L-methionine were present in the bacteriocin. The other four detection targets were not extracted or the content was below the detection line. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, citric acid and L-methionine were used as detection targets to characterize the bacteriocin.
[0457] The test results of the hydroxyl radical scavenging ability of the bacteriocin obtained in Example 3 are shown in FIG53 . As can be seen from FIG53 , when the extraction concentration is 3×10 11cfu / mL, the extraction temperature was 25°C, and the extraction time was 1h, the hydroxyl radical scavenging ability of the bacteriocin was better; the test results of the DPPH radical scavenging ability of the bacteriocin obtained in Example 3 are shown in Figure 54. In Figure 54, the extraction temperature and time of K1-K9 were 4°C, 1h, 4°C, 2h, 4°C, 3h, 25°C, 1h, 25°C, 2h, 25°C, 3h, 37°C, 1h, 37°C, 2h and 37°C, 3h, respectively. The extraction temperatures and times for K10-K18 were 4°C, 1h, 4°C, 2h, 4°C, 3h, 25°C, 1h, 25°C, 2h, 25°C, 3h, 37°C, 1h, 37°C, 2h, and 37°C, 3h, respectively; and the extraction temperatures and times for K19-K27 were 4°C, 1h, 4°C, 2h, 4°C, 3h, 25°C, 1h, 25°C, 2h, 25°C, 3h, 37°C, 1h, 37°C, 2h, and 37°C, 3h, respectively. As shown in Figure 54, the extraction conditions had relatively little effect on DPPH radicals.
[0458] The hydroxyl radical scavenging ability and DPPH radical scavenging ability of the postbiotics obtained in Comparative Example 1 are shown in Figure 55. The DPPH radical scavenging ability of the bacteriocin does not change much with temperature at first, but decreases significantly under high temperature conditions of 121°C.
