Lactobacillus pentosus for producing gamma-aminobutyric acid and application of lactobacillus pentosus in production of Pu' er tea
Technical Field
The invention relates to Lactobacillus pentosus (Lactobacillus pentosus) capable of generating gamma-aminobutyric acid and application thereof in production of Pu' er tea in the field of microorganisms.
Background
Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a naturally occurring functional amino acid. The research shows that the gamma-aminobutyric acid has the physiological activities of reducing blood pressure, improving brain function, enhancing long-term memory, improving liver and kidney functions and the like. Gamma-aminobutyric acid is widely present in animals and plants in nature, is present only in nerve tissues in animals, is an important inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nerve of mammals, and is involved in various metabolisms. Gamma-aminobutyric acid is formed by decarboxylation of L-glutamic acid by glutamate dehydrogenase (GAD).
Many Pu 'er tea not only contains caffeine, but also has indexes far higher than those of green tea and oolong tea, and in the test of tea detection center of department of agriculture, the caffeine content in Pu' er tea is as high as 4.41% (mass/mass percentage concentration). The caffeine content of the Pu 'er tea is the highest in various known tea leaves at present, but the normal sleep of people is not influenced after the Pu' er ripe tea is drunk. Many scholars think that Pu ' er tea affects the main ' fierce ' of human sleep in the repeated processing process, which is caused by gradual disappearance of caffeine. However, the conclusion is not valid after the Pu' er tea is chemically analyzed. The answer is gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), because the basic physiological function of GABA is to reduce neuronal activity, prevent neuronal overheating, and act as a nerve-calming and thus antagonizing receptor for caffeine. In other words, it is the "effect" of GABA on caffeine to excite the central nervous system of the human body that is counteracted.
The preparation method of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) mainly comprises a chemical synthesis method and a biological synthesis method. The chemical synthesis method is reported in patent documents, has high cost and low yield, and commonly uses dangerous solvents, even toxic solvents in the production process. Therefore, GABA prepared by a chemical synthesis method cannot be used in the food field and cannot be considered as a natural food additive. Compared with the biosynthesis method, the method is safe and low in cost. According to the recent research reports and patent literature reports, some high-safety microorganisms such as lactic acid bacteria, yeast and aspergillus have been applied to the preparation of GABA foods. In 2009, 9/27 days, the ministry of health of China officially approved gamma-aminobutyric acid, colostrum basic protein, conjugated linoleic acid, glyceryl oleate, lactobacillus plantarum (strain number ST-III) and eucommia seed oil as new resource food. From this time, a new era has been reached for gamma-aminobutyric acid.
Lactic acid bacteria are gram-positive bacteria, and many strains have high GAD (glutamic acid decarboxylase) activity and can produce GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) in an enriched manner, such as Lactobacillus plantarum M-10, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus brevis hjxj-01 and the like. As an auxiliary starter, lactobacillus pentosus has been widely used in the production of yogurt, cheese, ice cream, fermented meat products, chocolate, bean products, and the like. Due to the problems of harsh reaction conditions, expensive natural raw materials and poor safety of chemical methods for synthesizing GABA, the GABA is difficult to be widely applied. Among microorganisms, GAD is currently found in a variety of lactic acid bacteria, yeasts and molds.
In the research field of Pu' er tea, the acquisition of probiotics is relatively difficult in the early stage due to the lack of systematic research from the aspect of microbial specialty. With the maturity of a microorganism separation means and the high-speed development of modern bioinformatics, it becomes possible to separate and purify probiotic strains from a traditional pile fermentation sample and apply the probiotic strains to a production process of Pu ' er tea, and the probiotic strains play an important role in improving the quality of the Pu ' er tea and the development of the Pu ' er tea industry.

The content of gamma-aminobutyric acid in the ordinary Pu' er ripe tea is generally 0.32-0.9%, which shows that Lactobacillus pentosus (Lactobacillus pentosus) TMCC70009CGMCC No.8685 can generate high-concentration gamma-aminobutyric acid, on one hand, the fermentation period can be obviously shortened, the fermentation period is only 3-4 weeks, and the fermentation period of the ordinary method is generally 6-8 weeks, because the optimal growth environment of the strain is created under artificial conditions, the microorganism is single, no other strains compete, and the enzyme amount is sufficiently secreted. On the other hand, the strain makes up the defects of flat taste and unobvious aroma of the traditional Pu-Er ripe tea, plays an important role in improving the quality of the Pu-Er tea, because the strain takes the tea as a substrate to secrete aroma substances (such as cedrol, trans-caryophyllene, 1-methyl-4- (1-methyl-vinylidene) -cyclic ethylene and the like) and adds special aroma components; in terms of taste, the taste is purer as the influence of mixed bacteria is avoided.
