A kind of preparation method of lentinan
Technical field
The present invention relates to the extracting method field of polysaccharide, more particularly to a kind of preparation method of lentinan.
Background technology
Lentinan is a kind of physiologically active polysaccharide material isolated from mushroom, as with " biological response effect
Thing " fungi polysaccharide, there are the multiple functions such as antiviral, antitumor, enhancing body immunity, have in exploitation and suppress tumour, control
Had broad application prospects in terms for the treatment of angiocardiopathy, antiviral drug and relevant healthcare food.
Mushroom medicinal fungus fructification has cultivation period length, the big feature of occupied ground, bioactive polysaccharide thing in fructification
Matter is accumulative to be influenceed by environment, cultivation matrix etc., while the high mushroom Polyose extraction of the hard pigment content of fructification quality cell is difficult,
The problems such as active component difficulty is big, the production cycle is long, cost is high is thus extracted from entity.
, can be in the confined space, not by natural environment influence as one of modern biotechnology scale submerged fermentation technology
The various culture parameters orientation high efficiency of manual control obtain target product, have the cycle using the technology culture mushroom filamentous
It is short, cost is low, yield greatly can industrialized production feature.It is external to start shiitake mushroom hypha fermentation training early in the forties in last century
Support, for example Humfeld (1947) starts fermented and cultured mushroom mycelium.The domestic seventies in last century is also begun to shiitake mushroom hypha
Studied for the macro fungi Mycelium culture of representative.Lentinan bioactivity and fructification mushroom biology are living in shiitake mushroom hypha
Property it is consistent, optimizing lentinan content in Lentinus edodes fermented liquid by fermentation parameter, identical or even content is more with mushroom fruiting body
It is high.
PH value often changes with course of fermentation in shiitake mushroom hypha fermentation process, and it is fast to be unfavorable for shiitake mushroom hypha
Fast-growing is grown, and the most suitable Fermentative growth pH of invention shiitake mushroom hypha is simultaneously controlled by undoubtedly to improving the mushroom mycelium in unit zymotic fluid
Body supply, the yield for improving lentinan have positive effect.
The content of the invention
In view of this, it is an object of the invention to exist for prior art the problem of, there is provided a kind lentinan
Preparation method, improve the yield of shiitake mushroom hypha weight in wet base yield and lentinan.
The invention provides a kind of preparation method of lentinan, comprise the following steps:Fermented and cultured, adjust in fermentation process
Save pH value;Supercritical extract, the shiitake mushroom hypha bacterium mud that fermented and cultured is obtained, does not dry and is placed directly within supercritical CO2Extraction
Extracted in kettle, remove the fat-soluble memebrane protein of shiitake mushroom hypha and fat;Polysaccharide is extracted, dissolution fluid after extraction is transferred to hot water extraction
In kettle, the extraction of polysaccharide is carried out.
Further, the fermented and cultured includes:Choose the mushroom strain activated to be fitted into fluid nutrient medium, 25-28
Under the conditions of DEG C, 150r/min shaking table cultures are prepared into first order seed in 4-6 days, are connect the first order seed with 6-8% inoculum concentration
In fluid nutrient medium, shaking table culture, fermentation seed liquid is prepared into;, will with 6-8% inoculum concentration under certain fermentation culture conditions
The fermentation seed liquid is inoculated in equipped with the solution culture fermentation tank to have sterilized, adjusts pH value, fermented and cultured, using tubular type
Centrifuge collects shiitake mushroom hypha mud to the Lentinus edodes fermented liquid centrifugal treating.
Further, the sterilized liquid medium component is:Sweet potato leachate 200g/L, fish meal 80g/L, brewer's yeast
Leachate 50g/L, pH6.5.
Further, certain fermentation culture conditions are:5%-10% seed liquor inoculum concentration, 25 DEG C of fermentation temperature-
28 DEG C, tank pressure is 0.04-0.06MPa, throughput 0.3-0.9vvm, maintains DO to exist by adjusting fermentation tank rotating speed and throughput
10%-70%.
Further, the regulation pH value includes:Fermentation originates pH value in 12 hours and is down to 4.2-4.5 by originating pH6.5,
Into fermentation tank, Feeding ammonia water makes zymotic fluid pH in fermentation tank be returned to 5.2-5.5;Carried out with fermentation, pulsed is into fermentation tank
Feeding ammonia water keeps the zymotic fluid pH to be maintained at 5.2-5.5, until stopping fermentation, collects the shiitake mushroom hypha in zymotic fluid.
Further, the tube centrifuge rotating speed 12000r/min, sample introduction frequency are 3L/min.
Further, the supercritical extract condition is:Extracting pressure is controlled in 10-12MPa, 40 DEG C -42 of extraction temperature
℃。
Further, the extraction polysaccharide includes:The shiitake mushroom hypha bacterium mud handled through supercritical extract is weighed, adds 5
Times volumes of deionized water, soda acid adjust pH6-7,86 DEG C of hot water extraction 55min of temperature, filter off except extraction bacterium residue collected filtering
Liquid.
Further, the preparation method also includes:The clear liquid is transferred to and is evaporated under reduced pressure in kettle, 40 DEG C of -60 DEG C of temperature
Lower vacuum concentration, which is filtered to 1/3rd of original volume, obtains lentinan concentrate;Add the 95%-98% ethanol of 3 times of volumes
The Precipitation polysaccharide in the lentinan concentrate, filtering obtain lentinan precipitation, and drying obtains lentinan crude product.
Further, the vacuum concentration pressure is not more than 0.001MPa.
Beneficial effects of the present invention are shown:
PH value is regulated and controled in fermented and cultured, maximizes shiitake mushroom hypha amount of fermentation, and will ferment what is obtained
Shiitake mushroom hypha bacterium mud, which is not dried, directly carries out supercritical extract, removes the fat-soluble memebrane protein of shiitake mushroom hypha and fat, improves
The recovery rate of lentinan.
