Description

Application of Fusarium brevicaulis in the production of mycelial protein

[0001] This application claims priority to the Chinese patent application filed with the China Patent Office on January 11, 2024, with application number 202410044012.8 and invention name “Application of Fusarium brevicaulis in the production of mycelial protein”, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference into this application. Technical Field

[0002] The invention belongs to the technical field of functional microorganisms, and particularly relates to the application of Fusarium brevicaulis in the production of mycelial protein. Background Art

[0003] Alternative proteins are proteins produced from plant or animal cells or through microbial fermentation. These innovative foods are designed to taste the same or better than traditional animal products and offer health benefits such as zero cholesterol, low fat, and a small amount of dietary fiber, all at the same or lower cost. Compared to traditionally produced animal products, alternative proteins require fewer inputs, such as land, fertilizer, and water, and produce fewer negative externalities, such as greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution. They also reduce the contribution of food production to pandemic risk and antimicrobial resistance.

[0004] As one of the forms of alternative protein production, microbial fermentation protein uses microbial or algae fermentation to produce protein. It contains cellulose, rich enzymes and bioactive substances, and does not contain cholesterol, which is more friendly to patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. In industry, the main industrial strains used for fermentation production of microbial protein meat include algae, yeast and filamentous fungi. Algae have problems such as slow growth rate and low density, and so far mainly carry out small-scale protein production. Yeast grows fast, has a high cell density, and requires simple production equipment. However, the low cell wall digestibility and high nucleic acid content have restricted the further development of yeast fermentation protein to a certain extent. The filamentous fungi that produce protein are mainly concentrated in Fusarium. The mycelium produced by Fusarium is more delicious than single-cell proteins such as yeast and bacteria, and has a meat-like tissue structure. At the same time, the rich edible crude fiber it contains helps human gastrointestinal digestion. It is a meat substitute that can meet the nutritional needs of modern people. Currently, a strain of Fusarium venenatum has been developed and its mycelium, which is high in protein, has been used to produce meat products (CN 115851458 A). However, the yield of mycelial protein produced by this strain of Fusarium venenatum needs to be improved. Furthermore, patent CN116640753 discloses that mycelial protein production in Fusarium venenatum can be effectively increased by deleting the pyruvate decarboxylase gene FvPDC6 from the thallus. Therefore, naturally high-yielding filamentous fungal strains are extremely scarce. Finding more promising strains that naturally produce high yields of filamentous fungal protein is a highly commercially valuable development.

[0083] In the present invention, after the fermentation is completed, the fermentation broth is preferably sterilized. The fermentation broth sterilization is beneficial for inactivating the live bacteria in the fermentation broth, and is also beneficial for further degradation of the nucleic acid molecules produced during the fermentation process, reducing the nucleic acid content in the fermented mycelium, and facilitating subsequent processing and application. The method for sterilizing the fermentation broth is preferably heat sterilization. The heat sterilization procedure is preferably to keep the temperature at 60°C to 70°C for 18 to 22 minutes, and to keep the temperature at 88°C to 92°C for 8 to 15 minutes; more preferably, to keep the temperature at 65°C for 20 minutes, and to keep the temperature at 90°C for 12 minutes.

[0084] In the present invention, after sterilization, the fermentation product is separated. The method for separating the fermentation product preferably includes separating the solid and liquid of the fermentation liquid, and drying the solid phase after washing. The solid-liquid separation method includes filtration, centrifugation, etc. In one embodiment of the present invention, the method for separating the fermentation product is preferably to filter with a vacuum filtration device and thoroughly wash the filter cake.

The protein content determined by Kjeldahl nitrogen determination is 55.39% or more. After toxin detection, the filter cake does not contain toxins. At the same time, the mycelium produced by the Fusarium brevicaulis strain FXFB001 has excellent characteristics of being toxin-free and protein-rich mycelium. Therefore, the present invention provides the use of the Fusarium brevicaulis strain FXFB001 or the microbial agent in producing mycelium protein.

[0085] The present invention provides an edible mycelium. Calculated on the dry mass of the edible mycelium, the protein content in the edible mycelium is greater than 40%; and / or the dietary fiber content is greater than 20%; and / or the fat content is less than 8%. The edible mycelium is derived from Fusarium brachygibbosum, for example, the edible mycelium is obtained by fermenting Fusarium brachygibbosum.

[0086] In the present invention, the protein content of the edible mycelium is preferably 45%, 50%, 55%, 60% or 65% or more. The dietary fiber content of the edible mycelium is preferably 25%, 30%, 35%, 40% or 45% or more. The fat content of the edible mycelium is preferably 7%, 6%, 5%, 4% or 3% or less.

The edible mycelium produced by fermentation is preferably filamentous in appearance, flesh-colored, and elastic. Physical and chemical testing has shown that the protein-rich mycelium is toxin-free and safe for consumption.

[0089] Since the edible mycelium is rich in protein, it can be used as a raw material for protein replacement in industrial production. The present invention provides the use of the edible mycelium or the edible mycelium prepared by the above method in the preparation of meat substitutes.

[0090] In the present invention, the meat substitute as a processed product of edible mycelium is a meat substitute prepared from the edible mycelium without undergoing a structural process, such as a nutritional food, a health product, etc. The structural process preferably includes shearing.

[0091] In the present invention, a method for preparing a meat substitute is to process or further process protein-rich edible mycelium as a raw material to obtain various different products. The method for preparing the protein-rich mycelium into a nutritious food preferably includes preparing the nutritious food directly or with other auxiliary materials by extracting protein with higher purity from the protein-rich mycelium. Because the mycelium is rich in elasticity and toughness, and the rich protein contains a variety of essential amino acids, the nutritional value of the prepared food product can be greatly improved. The food product is preferably presented in the form of a nutritional supplement. Similarly, food products can be formulated to enhance the taste or to be made into food products that are more attractive to consumers by combining with ordinary foods. In certain embodiments, the composition of the present invention is formulated as a milk-based product or a meat-based product.

The term "milk-based product" means any liquid or semi-solid milk or whey-based product with a varying fat content. Milk-based products may be, for example, cow's milk, goat's milk, sheep's milk, skimmed milk, whole milk, milk reconstituted from milk powder and whey without any processing, or processed products such as yogurt, coagulated milk, curd, yogurt, acidified whole milk, buttermilk and other sour milk products. Another important group includes milk beverages such as whey beverages, fermented milk, condensed milk, baby or toddler milk; flavored milk, ice cream; milk-containing foods such as candy.

[0092] In the present invention, the method for preparing the protein-rich mycelium into a health product preferably includes preparing the health product directly or by extracting a higher purity protein from the protein-rich mycelium or by combining it with other active ingredients and excipients. The health product includes an acceptable excipient or carrier. Acceptable carriers or diluents for health care purposes are well known in the field of health care products. For example, the carrier preferably includes any one or more of the following: lactose, starch, glucose, methylcellulose, magnesium stearate, mannitol and sorbitol, etc. or their analogs. The diluent preferably includes ethanol, glycerol and water or other solvents. The selection of pharmaceutical carriers, excipients or diluents can be selected taking into account the intended route of administration and standard pharmaceutical / health care product practices. In addition to the carrier, excipient or diluent, the health product may contain any suitable adhesive, lubricant, suspending agent, coating agent, solubilizer. Binders include starch, gelatin, and natural sugars such as glucose, anhydrous lactose, free-flowing lactose, and beta-lactose; corn sweeteners; natural and synthetic gums such as gum arabic, gum tragacanth, or sodium alginate, carboxymethylcellulose, and polyethylene glycol. Lubricants include sodium oleate, sodium stearate, magnesium stearate, sodium benzoate, sodium acetate, sodium chloride, and the like. Preservatives, stabilizers, dyes, and even flavorings may be provided in the health supplement. Preservatives include sodium benzoate, sorbic acid, cysteine, and esters of parahydroxybenzoic acid. Antioxidants and suspending agents may also be used. Another example of a suitable carrier is sucrose. Another example of a preservative is cysteine.

[0093] When used in conjunction with the term "comprising" in the claims and / or the specification, the word "a" or "an" can mean "one", but can also mean "one or more", "at least one" and "one or more than one".

[0094] As used in the claims and description, the words "comprising," "having," "including," or "containing" are inclusive or open-ended and do not exclude additional, unrecited elements or method steps.

[0095] Although the disclosure supports a definition of the term "or" as only alternatives as well as "and / or," the term "or" in the claims means "and / or" unless explicitly stated as only alternatives or as mutually exclusive between alternatives.

[0096] When used in the claims or description, a selected / optional / preferred "numerical range" includes both the numerical endpoints at both ends of the range and all natural numbers covered between the numerical endpoints relative to the aforementioned numerical endpoints.

[0097] "Edible mycelium" refers to a fungal fermentation culture or concentrate, or an edible mycelium concentrate obtained by dehydrating and removing nucleic acids from the fungal fermentation culture. Depending on the moisture content of the dehydrated concentrate, the edible mycelium can be in a solid state or a mixture of solid and liquid.

[0098] "Mycelium" refers to the vegetative growth portion of a fungus, composed of hyphae, and is an important source of fungal protein. The mycelium in the present disclosure is derived from a fungus of the genus Fusarium, and the edible mycelium is obtained after the fungus is fermented. In some embodiments, the edible mycelium is derived from a fermentation culture of a single species of fungus. In some embodiments, the edible mycelium is derived from a combined fermentation culture of multiple species of fungi.

[0099] The application of the Fusarium brevicaulis provided by the present invention in the production of mycelial protein is described in detail below in conjunction with the examples, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0130] Table 2 Comparison results of the two gene sequences of the strains

[0131] The sequences of TEF1 and ITS1 genes of all FSAMSC strains were collected from the FUSARIOID-ID database (www.fusarium.org), and the evolutionary position of the current strain was analyzed by constructing a multi-gene evolutionary tree.

[0132] The steps of multi-gene phylogenetic tree analysis are as follows: first, MAFFT (version v7.310) was used to perform multiple sequence alignment for each gene, and then GBLOCKS (version 0.91b) was used to trim the multiple sequence alignment result file. Then, AliView was used for manual trimming. After trimming, the sequences of the two genes were concatenated and spliced. The spliced ​​sequences were used to construct a multi-gene joint phylogenetic tree using IQ-TREE (version 2.2.5) as shown in Figure 2.

[0133] Based on morphological characteristics, ITS1 and TEF1 sequence analysis, strain FXFB001 was identified as Fusarium brachygibbosum. The strain was deposited with the China General Microbiological Culture Collection on December 13, 2023, with the deposit number CGMCC No: 41066.
