The invention particularly relates to microbial
cell powder for mammals to produce milk rich in primary EPA (
eicosapentaenoic acid) and a preparation method. The microbial
cell powder is prepared from the following raw materials in percentage by
mass: 60%-70% of EPA thalli, 0.2%-0.3% of an emulsifier, 0.03%-0.07% of an
antioxidant, 2%-4% of a filler, 5%-8% of a packing material, 0.08%-0.12% of a dispersant and 20%-25% of water. An
engineering strain modified by
genetic engineering is used as a core
raw material, an exogenous EPA synthesis
gene cluster is introduced, a
metabolic pathway is optimized, efficient synthesis and accumulation of EPA are achieved, EPA exists in microbial cells in the form of
triglyceride, the structure is stable, the integrity of the cells is still kept after inactivation treatment, oxidative
decomposition of EPA in the
processing and storage process is avoided, and the yield of EPA is increased. The preparation process adopts the processes of embedding, emulsifying, homogenizing and the like, so that the microbial
cell powder has good
dispersity and intestinal tract release performance, after mammals eat the microbial cell powder, EPA is efficiently released and absorbed in intestinal tracts and is integrated into a
milk fat globule membrane through in-vivo
metabolism, primary enrichment of EPA in milk is realized, and the EPA is easier to absorb and utilize by a
human body.
