Description

Preparation method of small molecule pearl polypeptide liquid containing multiple active ingredients Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical biotechnology, and in particular to a method for preparing a small-molecule pearl polypeptide liquid containing multiple active ingredients. Background Art

[0002] Pearls are formed when foreign matter, such as sand, irritates the oyster's mantle, prompting it to secrete large amounts of nacre, which then envelops the foreign matter layer by layer. Pearls are not only a high-end decorative jewelry item with high market value, but also a valuable traditional Chinese medicine, cosmetic, and nutritional supplement. With the advancement of modern technology, more and more benefits of pearls are being discovered, and their utilization and development has entered a new stage of development.

[0003] Nacre is the innermost layer of the shell, after removing the surface cuticle and the intermediate prismatic layer. It is hard, milky white with a silvery sheen, and composed of calcium carbonate, protein, and organic matter. Nacre and pearls are homogenous and share essentially the same composition, primarily calcium carbonate, followed by keratin. Keratin is a complex protein containing various glycosyl groups. This glycoprotein is a bioactive substance beneficial to the human body, but keratin itself is stable and poorly soluble in water and common solvents, making it difficult for the human body to absorb and utilize. Therefore, it is particularly important to use nacre powder instead of pearl powder to extract pearl peptides, and then hydrolyze the pearl peptides into small, active peptides that are easily absorbed by the human body.

[0004] Currently, two methods for extracting active ingredients from nacre include acid hydrolysis and enzymatic hydrolysis. Acid hydrolysis primarily utilizes chemical reagents such as organic acids to separate and dissolve the calcium carbonate in the nacre, exposing the pearl's organic components to the greatest extent possible. However, acid hydrolysis can easily damage soluble proteins in the nacre during production, denaturing and inactivating them. Traditional enzymatic methods primarily use pancreatic enzymes, but the resulting peptides are unstable and contain a high concentration of amino acids, potentially losing the pearl's original medicinal value. Furthermore, most oligopeptide products are currently presented as powders, which are susceptible to moisture absorption, making them susceptible to bacterial invasion and deterioration. Furthermore, the granulation process can easily destroy the active ingredients in the product.

[0005] To address the above issues, a Chinese invention patent with authorization announcement number CN102018727B discloses a method for preparing a pearl hydrolyzate, which includes the following steps: 1) Place pearl powder in a hydrochloric acid aqueous solution and stir until the reaction is complete. Adjust the pH value of the mixture to neutral with ammonia water, centrifuge, and obtain precipitate A; 2) Dissolve precipitate A in purified water, adjust the pH value to 7.5-8.5 with ammonia water, and centrifuge to obtain precipitate B; 3) Dissolve precipitate B in purified water and add enzyme for enzymatic reaction. The enzymatic hydrolysis solution is centrifuged to obtain a supernatant and precipitate C. The enzyme is a mixture of snail protease and papain, added in an amount of 0.3-1.05% by weight of precipitate B. 4) Precipitate C is dissolved in purified water and enzymatically hydrolyzed again with the enzyme. The enzyme is a mixture of trypsin, papain, and neutral protease, added in an amount of 0.2-0.45% by weight of precipitate B. 5) The two supernatants are combined, boiled, and filtered through a nanofiltration membrane with a pore size of 1-3 nm to obtain the pearl. This method destroys the soluble protein in the pearl, which is discarded and not fully utilized.

[0006] It is clear that it is necessary to seek more effective methods to prepare pearl polypeptide liquids that are rich in multiple active ingredients, have small peptide molecular weights, minimize pearl protein loss, and are easily absorbed by the human body. Summary of the Invention

[0078] Experimental Example 1: Taking Example 1 and Example 2 as examples, the pearl polypeptide liquid was tested for SOD superoxide dismutase activity, taurine content, and peptide molecular weight distribution. The results were repeated three times and the average values ​​were taken. The results are shown in Tables 1 and 2 below.

[0080]

[0082] The above results show that the methods involved in the embodiments of the present invention retain more active ingredients of pearls and are completely hydrolyzed, which is beneficial to human absorption and utilization, and can be used as raw materials for health foods and cosmetics.

[0083] Experimental Example 2: Detection of Peptide Content in Pearl Polypeptide Liquid

[0084] The peptide contents of Examples 1 and 2 were tested according to GB / T 22729-2008. The test results are as follows:

[0085]

[0086] In the prior art, the peptide content extracted from pearls is basically 5 ppm (5 parts per million). The peptide content in the pearl polypeptide liquid prepared by the methods of the embodiments of the present invention is increased by about 40 times, greatly improving the extraction rate of pearl polypeptides.

[0087] Experimental Example 3: In vitro antioxidant activity test of pearl polypeptide liquid

[0088] Take 2mL of the small molecule pearl polypeptide solution in each case, add DPPH solution, and measure its absorbance after reaction. Take VC as the control group and calculate the DPPH free radical scavenging rate. Take 5mL of the small molecule pearl polypeptide solution in each case and place it in a test tube. Add Tris-HCl buffer and add preheated pyrogallol solution after constant temperature. Measure its absorbance. Read the absorbance value every 30s for 5 minutes. Draw a standard curve with absorbance and time. Take VC as the control group and calculate the superoxide anion (O2 - ) free radical scavenging rate. Take 0.2mL of the small molecule pearl polypeptide solution in each case and add it to the ABTS solution in each test tube. After standing for reaction, measure the absorbance value.

[0089]

[0090] From Table 4, we can see that the small molecule pearl polypeptide solution prepared by the present invention has the following effects on DPPH free radicals and O2 - It has a strong scavenging effect, but its scavenging ability for ABTS free radicals and hydroxyl radicals is relatively weak. The products made from each embodiment of the present invention have higher antioxidant activity than the products of the comparative examples. The combined use of multi-energy field assistance and ficin is beneficial to improving the above performance.

[0091] Experimental Example 4: Experimental verification of the anti-aging effect of small molecule pearl polypeptide solution

The small molecule pearl polypeptide solution from Example 1 was added to the culture medium in the appropriate proportions.

[0094] Experimental Procedure: Drosophila melanogaster within 10 hours of eclosion were collected and grouped by sex. After ether anesthesia, 100 male and 100 female fruit flies were collected and divided equally into two groups. The fruit flies were placed in a 2.3 x 12 cm test tube. The experimental group was treated with a 10 wt% small molecule pearl peptide solution, while the control group was treated with distilled water alone. The test tubes were then incubated at 25 ± 1°C and 60%-70% humidity. The culture medium was changed every three days, and the number of fruit flies that died was recorded daily.

[0095] Experimental results: Compared to the control group, the small molecule pearl peptide solution significantly increased the average lifespan of fruit flies, with the effect being more pronounced in female fruit flies than in males. The average lifespan of female fruit flies increased from 30.1±3.2 days to 41.5±2.3 days, while the average lifespan of male fruit flies increased from 29.9±1 days to 38.3±6 days.
