不同添加剂对柱花草青贮品质的影响

以热研2号柱花草为原料， 通过直接青贮（CK）、 添加山梨酸（0.2％）、 蔗糖（2％）、 青贮宝（0.1％）等处理， 30 d后测定了柱花草青贮饲料pH值、 乳酸、 乙酸、 丙酸、丁酸等含量并分析其主要营养成分含量。结果表明： 柱花草直接青贮品质较差， 添加山梨酸、 蔗糖、 青贮宝等处理能降低pH值和提高乳酸含量， 添加2％蔗糖能极显著降低pH值(p<0.01)、 提高乳酸含量(p<0.05)， 改善青贮品质， 提高营养价值。

从一系列灵芝(Ganoderma sp.)菌种中筛选出多糖产量高、生长快的紫灵芝菌株(G.japoncium),研究了不同氮源、碳源及金属离子对紫灵芝产多糖的影响。结果表明,以2%的蔗糖为碳源,0.2%的豆饼粉为氮源,0.2%的FeSO4为培养基可获得较高多糖。发酵罐放大实验表明,采用同样的培养基,每100mL发酵液胞外粗多糖含量可高达181.7mg,每100mL发酵液菌丝体含量可高达151.0mg,发酵过程中pH值的变化比较缓和,相对摇瓶生长,发酵生产可获得更多的灵芝多糖。     

多糖和寡糖的体外发酵特性及其对鸡盲肠微生物菌群的影响

本研究采用体外累积发酵产气法和16SrDNA指纹图谱鉴定技术研究了来自香菇、银耳和黄芪的天然免疫活性多糖(LenE,TreE和AstE)及酵母胞壁甘露寡糖(MOS)对鸡肠道微生物菌群及其发酵特性的影响。结果表明,三种多糖提取物的总糖含量均占干物质的60%以上,而MOS总糖含量在90%以上。多糖和寡糖具有不同的发酵模式;MOS、AstE和LenE三种糖的发酵模式相似,呈一阶段发酵模式;TreE呈两阶段的发酵模式。三种糖中,MOS和AstE发酵速度较TreE快。MOS和AstE在发酵后总VFA产量最高,pH最低;黄芪多糖发酵后产生较多的直链脂肪酸和较低的氨。这些多糖和寡糖提取物影响肠道微生物的活性和组成成分,体现在发酵模式和发酵终产物的显著改变上。以上研究结果表明,来自香菇、银耳和黄芪的天然免疫活性多糖(LenE,TreE和AstE)及酵母胞壁甘露寡糖(MOS)在体外发酵后,均具有显著改变鸡盲肠微生物发酵终产物的含量和盲肠微生物活性的作用。

发酵诺尼果种子中有效成分及其抗氧化性

为了有效利用已发酵诺尼果(Noni)种子,探讨提取发酵诺尼种子中有效成分的方法,进一步研究发酵诺尼果种子有效成分的抗氧化性。笔者分别用水蒸气蒸馏和有机溶剂95%乙醇萃取,再对2种提取方法分别获得的发酵诺尼果提取物进行气相色谱质谱(GC-MS)分析;采用A320电子顺磁共振波谱仪对乙醇萃取获得的发酵诺尼果种子精油的抗氧化性进行分析。结果表明,发酵诺尼果种子提取物中的有效成分绝大多数为酯类物质,此外还含有酸类和醇类物质。95%乙醇萃取物经GC-MS分析,首次在发酵诺尼果种子提取物中发现了角鲨烯,其相对含量为12.95%。电子顺磁共振法可简便、快速检测发酵诺尼果种子精油的抗氧化性,乙醇萃取发酵诺尼果种子精油不同层DPPH清除能力表现不同,在提取物相同体积时,样品清除自由基的反应速度很快,其中乙醇萃取发酵诺尼果种子精油下层在2 min能够完全清除自由基,而精油上层在20min不能完全清除自由基。说明其精油下层的抗氧化活性高于上层。笔者认为,已发酵诺尼果种子含有开发价值的活性物质,且该活性物质具有抗氧化性。     

Optimization of Fermentation Medium for Cordyceps brasiliensis Using Response Surface Methodology

The composition of fermentation medium for producing Cordyceps brasiliensis mycelium was optimized using response surface methodology. A Plackett-Burman design was applied to screen potential key factors selected on the basis of preliminary experiments, and the steepest ascent method was adopted to approach the approximate optimal medium composition. Finally, central composite design and response surface methodology were applied to define more precisely the optimal composition of the fermentation medium. Our data revealed glucose and beef extract to be the most influential parameters, and the composition of the optimal fermentation medium (100 mL) was determined to consist of 4.46 g glucose, 2 g soluble starch, 4 g silkworm powder, 2.93 g beef extract, 0.10 g KH2PO4 and 0.15 g MgSO4·7H2O.     

Reduction of some toxicants in Icacina mannii by fermentation with Saccharomyces cerevisiae

The effect of fermentation on the level of some toxic components (hydrocyanic acid, phytic acid and oxalic acid) of Icacina mannii paste was investigated. The results indicate that fermentation caused a decrease in the level of these toxicants ranging from 178 mg/kg to 70 mg/kg for hydrocyanic acid, 638 mg/kg to 463 mg/kg for oxalic acid and 49 mg/kg to 21 mg/kg for phytic acid. When the paste was supplemented with acitve cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae there was a marked decrease in the level of the three toxicants ranging from 84 mg/kg to 16 mg/kg for hydrocyanic acid, 374 mg/kg to 88 mg/kg for oxalic acid and 24 mg/kg to 5 mg/kg for phytic acid. Supplementing the paste with yeast cells at a concentration of 7.5 g/kg before fermenting, resulted in approximately a 90% reduction in the level of the three toxic compounds after 144 hours of fermentation.     

Preharvest and postharvest factors related to off-odours of fresh-cut iceberg lettuce

The influence of different preharvest and postharvest factors affecting off-odour development of fresh-cut iceberg lettuce in low-O₂ modified atmospheres (MA) was investigated. Fresh-cut iceberg lettuce developed undesirable off-odours under low O₂ and elevated CO₂ atmospheres. A strong relationship between CO₂ concentration and off-odour development was observed. Significant differences in off-odour development existed among different cultivars in two harvests in consecutive years. The influence of maturity stage was evaluated, comparing fresh-cut product from immature and over-mature heads with commercial ones. Higher CO₂ concentrations and higher accumulation of ethanol and acetaldehyde were detected in the headspace of MA-packed lettuce from immature heads. Differences in respiration rate of the fresh-cut product from heads cultivated during the winter–spring seasons were around 30%. Respiration rate of fresh-cut iceberg lettuce increased when medium temperature during cultivation increased. Changes in the product weight generated different CO₂ levels which correlated with the production of ethanol and acetaldehyde and other off-odour metabolites related with the lipoxygenase (LOX) pathway such as hexanal, 1-hexanol, and cis-3-hexen-1-ol. Volatile compounds such as cis-3-hexen-1-ol, β-elemene, ethyl acetate and dimethyl sulphide increased their content more than 10 times compared with other volatiles. Moreover, differences in the initial flushed gas-mixture with or without CO₂ showed higher CO₂ concentrations and the development of stronger off-odours when samples were flushed with an enriched CO₂ gas-mixture. In summary, visual quality of fresh-cut iceberg lettuce is important but so are odour and flavour. MAP currently used for fresh-cut lettuce may need some modification to inhibit off-odours and achieve better aroma and flavour qualities for preserving “freshness” of the cut product. Screening for cultivars with low browning potential and fermentation, harvested at optimum maturity stage and with an adequate package design are recommended.
