Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicine fermentation, in particular to astragalus membranaceus fermentation liquor as well as a preparation method and application thereof.

Background

The Chinese medicine can relieve diseases by inhibiting colonization of pathogens and balancing intestinal flora. The probiotic fermentation can solve the problem that the polysaccharide in the traditional Chinese medicine preparation is not easy to be digested and absorbed by human bodies, and the utilization rate of the polysaccharide after the traditional Chinese medicine is fermented by microorganisms is greatly improved. The fermentation product needs to improve the number of live bacteria in the product to play a role, and a reasonable fermentation process is one of important factors for improving the number of the live bacteria in the fermentation product.

In recent years, a great deal of research on the treatment of acute lung injury by traditional Chinese medicines is carried out at home and abroad, and the research shows that the effective components of the traditional Chinese medicines have the advantages of multiple targets, multiple ways, small adverse reaction and the like, and can play a role in preventing and treating the acute lung injury. Research proves that emodin can obviously inhibit the expression of E-selectin (E-selectin) of ALI mice and improve acute lung injury induced by Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and Crocin (Crocin) can reduce lung tissue injury induced by LPS and reduce the expression of phosphorylated I kappa B and the activity of NF-kappa B. The astragalus root has a plurality of pharmacological activities of regulating immunity, resisting tumor, resisting inflammation and the like, and researches show that flavone and saponin substances in the astragalus root water extract have an anti-inflammatory effect.

The results of studying the growth of the Lactobacillus plantarum LZU-S-ZCJ, LZU-J-TSL6 fermented alone and the mixed culture of the two according to the number ratio of viable bacteria, using example 2 as the experimental group, comparative examples 1 to 4 as the control group, and a blank control group as the MRS medium, are shown in FIG. 1.

As can be seen from FIG. 1, when the ratio of viable bacteria of Lactobacillus plantarum LZU-S-ZCJ and LZU-J-TSL6 is 1. It can be seen that the fermentation effect was better with the strain volume ratio of example 2 of the present application compared to the control group.

Experimental example 2

The method takes the number of viable bacteria in the astragalus fermentation liquor as an index, and explores the optimum astragalus water extract concentration, strain inoculation quantity, fermentation temperature and fermentation time for fermentation.

(1) Concentration of the water extract of astragalus: adding astragalus membranaceus water extracts with different concentrations into a conical flask, mixing lactobacillus plantarum LZU-S-ZCJ and LZU-J-TSL6 according to the ratio of viable bacteria number to number of 1 to 3, inoculating the mixture into the astragalus membranaceus water extract in an inoculation amount of 4%, culturing for 24 hours at 37 ℃, coating a flat plate to calculate the viable bacteria number of fermentation liquor, and determining the optimal concentration of the astragalus membranaceus water extract.

(2) Inoculating strains: adding water extract of radix astragali with concentration of 0.5g/mL into conical flask, inoculating bacterial solutions with different proportions, culturing at 37 deg.C for 24 hr, coating on plate to calculate viable count of fermentation broth, and determining optimal strain inoculation amount.

(3) Fermentation time: adding the astragalus mongholicus water extract with the concentration of 0.5g/mL into a conical flask, mixing lactobacillus plantarum LZU-S-ZCJ and LZU-J-TSL6 according to the ratio of viable bacteria number to number of 1, inoculating the mixture into the astragalus mongholicus water extract by 4 percent of inoculation amount, fermenting at 37 ℃ for different time, coating a flat plate to calculate the viable bacteria number of fermentation liquor, and determining the optimal fermentation time.

(4) Fermentation temperature: adding the astragalus mongholicus water extract with the concentration of 0.5g/mL into a conical flask, mixing lactobacillus plantarum LZU-S-ZCJ and LZU-J-TSL6 according to the ratio of viable bacteria number to number of 1, inoculating the mixture into the astragalus mongholicus water extract by 4 percent of inoculation amount, fermenting for 36 hours at different temperatures, coating a plate to calculate the viable bacteria number of fermentation liquor, and determining the optimal fermentation temperature.

The results are shown in FIG. 2. It can be known from fig. 2 that, as the concentration of the water extract of astragalus root increases continuously, the number of live bacteria in the fermentation broth increases continuously, and when the concentration of the water extract of astragalus root reaches 0.5g/mL, the number of live bacteria in the fermentation broth is the largest, and the concentration of the water extract of astragalus root increases continuously, but the number of live bacteria in the fermentation broth decreases instead, which may be that as the concentration of the water extract of astragalus root increases, the osmotic pressure of bacteria changes or the pH of the fermentation broth changes, so that the fermentation environment is not favorable for the growth of bacteria, and therefore, the optimal concentration of the water extract of astragalus root is 0.5g/mL;

along with the continuous increase of the strain inoculation rate, the number of the live bacteria in the astragalus fermentation broth also increases, when the strain inoculation rate is 4%, the number of the live bacteria in the fermentation broth is the largest, the strain inoculation rate is continuously increased, and the number of the live bacteria in the fermentation broth begins to decrease, which may be caused by the fact that the initial strain inoculation amount is too large, the substrate consumption is accelerated, and the fermentation product accumulation is caused, so that the 4% strain inoculation amount is the optimal strain inoculation amount;

under different fermentation temperatures, the number of live bacteria in the fermentation liquid is different, and under the condition of 37 ℃, the number of live bacteria in the fermentation liquid is the largest, and the number of live bacteria in the fermentation liquid is reduced when the temperature is higher or lower than the temperature, so that the temperature of 37 ℃ is the optimal fermentation temperature, and under the fermentation temperature, the thalli grow more fully, and the number of live bacteria in the fermentation liquid is the largest;

the number of the live bacteria in the fermentation liquid is increased continuously along with the increase of the fermentation time, when the fermentation time reaches 36h, the number of the live bacteria in the fermentation liquid is the largest, and if the fermentation time is prolonged continuously, the number of the live bacteria begins to decrease, which may be that the nutrient substances in the fermentation liquid cannot continuously meet the requirement of the growth and the propagation of the thalli along with the extension of the fermentation time, so the fermentation time of 36h is the optimal fermentation time.

Experimental example 3

The experimental group of example 2 and the comparative groups of examples 5 to 11 were used as control groups, and the number of viable bacteria in the fermentation broth was used as an index to study the fermentation effect under different process conditions. The results are shown in Table 1.

		Comparative example 10	13.97
Comparative example 11	13.83

As can be seen from Table 1, the fermentation effect is the best under the process conditions of example 2 of the present application, and the viable count in the fermentation broth of Astragalus membranaceus can reach as high as 14.76Log10CFU/mL, compared with the control group.
