The invention discloses a preparation method of Chinese yam
powder cooperatively fermented by
lactic acid bacteria and compound
enzyme. The preparation method comprises the following steps: weighing Chinese yam
powder and germs, and mixing the Chinese yam
powder and germs according to a
mass ratio of 2: 1; preparing a 2%
sugar aqueous solution, and respectively carrying out high-pressure
steam sterilization at 115 DEG C for 30 minutes on the
sugar aqueous solution and the mixture; after cooling, adding the sweet water according to the
mass ratio of the Chinese yam powder to the water of 3: 7, and uniformly mixing; a compound
enzyme is added into the
mixed solution, the compound
enzyme is composed of
amylase, glycoprotease and
neutral protease, the preferable
mass ratio of the
amylase to the glycoprotease to the
neutral protease is 1: 1: 1, and enzymolysis is conducted for 3-5 h at the temperature of 50 DEG C; inoculating a mixed
bacteria solution consisting of
lactobacillus bulgaricus and
lactobacillus pentosus into the enzymatic
hydrolysate, with the
inoculation amount being 2-8% of the mass of the material, and fermenting at 30 DEG C for 4 days; and
drying, crushing and optional
flavor blending are performed to obtain the fermented Chinese yam powder. According to the method, the
solubility and
water binding capacity of the Chinese yam powder can be remarkably improved, the activity of total flavonoids and SOD (
superoxide dismutase) is increased, the nutritional value and
flavor are improved, and the method is suitable for development of instant drinks and functional foods.
