Description

Functional corn flour and efficient preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of functional food processing, and particularly relates to functional corn flour and an efficient preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Along with diversification of dietary structure of people and more hypertension, obesity, cardiovascular diseases and the like caused by refined staple food and unreasonable dietary structures such as a large amount of meat, the demand on coarse grain food such as corn and the like is more and more extensive. Corn is the first major food crop in the world and is widely planted in the world, the annual output of corn in China in 2021 is up to 2.7 hundred million tons, and the corn is the second major corn producing country in the world. The corn has high nutritive value and medicinal value, contains about 70% of starch and 8% -14% of protein, is rich in nutrients such as vitamins, carotenoid and dietary fiber, and has the effects of caring skin, improving eyesight, preventing coronary heart disease and hypertension, etc. The protein matrix in maize is a large and complex protein molecule composed of different protein subunits in gluten, which are joined by disulfide bonds, prolamin is present in spheroids in the gluten matrix, and starch granules are embedded within the gluten matrix. Due to the unique combination mode of starch and protein in the corn flour, starch gelatinization is limited in the food cooking process, so that the processing and eating quality of corn food are influenced, and the development and utilization of corn as a food raw material are not facilitated.
In the development of corn food products, grinding and milling are the basis of carrying out food deep processing on corn kernels and are also a crucial pretreatment link. At present, the corn flour milling modes mainly comprise 3 modes of a dry method, a semi-dry method and a wet method, and different processing modes have important influence on the processing effect. The corn flour prepared by the dry method has good water absorption characteristic, but has poor processing quality, rough mouthfeel and easy aging; the corn flour prepared by the wet method has less damaged starch and better processing characteristics and eating quality; the quality of the corn flour prepared by the semi-dry method is between that of the corn flour prepared by the dry method and that of the corn flour prepared by the wet method. However, the wet milling of corn requires a long processing time, usually requires about 36-48h of soaking, which seriously reduces milling efficiency and increases production cost.
Currently, corn steeping processes include fermentation, enzymatic, and ultrasonic methods. The fermentation method has complicated soaking process conditions and process, and is not easy to control in production, so the method is not widely used in the corn flour milling production industry. The enzyme method soaking process shortens the soaking time, reduces the environmental pollution and improves the production efficiency. The protease adopted at home and abroad mainly comprises acid protease, neutral protease, alkaline protease, bromelain, papain and the like. In addition, in order to break the cell wall structure in the corn kernel, wall-breaking enzymes such as cellulase, pectinase, xylanase and the like are also applied. The soaking mode comprises mixed soaking of acid and enzyme, stepwise soaking of wall-breaking enzyme and protease, synchronous soaking after compounding of several proteases, and the like. Ultrasound-assisted technology has become a common technology for producing green, economical alternatives to food and natural products. The ultrasonic cavitation shortens the soaking time, so that the protein in the corn is separated from the starch, the starch in the corn flour can be fully gelatinized in the processing process, and the protein can form a good network structure, thereby improving the processing characteristics of the corn flour.

Comparative examples 2 and 3 the corn flour gradually increased the starch-polyphenol complexation rate, which may be related to the presence of water and longer reaction times. The 3 example corn flours significantly increased the starch-polyphenol complexation rate compared to the 3 comparative examples, and example 1 had the greatest starch-polyphenol complexation rate, which greatly facilitated the interaction and binding of starch and polyphenol.
The infrared absorption spectrum is formed by rotation-vibration energy level transition, and the absorption peak of the molecule and the intensity and the position of the peak can be determined according to the vibration condition of the molecule. FIG. 2 is an infrared spectrum of starch-polyphenol complex in functional corn flour. All samples were in the range of 3000-3500cm -1 There is a broad band in between due to the tensile vibration and absorption of the hydrogen bonding groups (O-H). 2927cm -1 The peak at (A) is due to CH 2 1649cm caused by antisymmetric stretching vibration of -1 The spectral band of (b) is due to COO-stretching vibrations. In addition, 500-1800cm -1 There are many absorption peaks, which are mostly caused by some double-bonded carbons, ester bonds and ether bond vibrations. Comparative examples 1-3 have lower intensities of all absorption peaks of the starch-polyphenol complex in the corn flour, while examples 1-3 significantly increase the intensity of the absorption peaks of the infrared spectrum of the starch-polyphenol complex, especially the strongest absorption peak of the starch-polyphenol complex of example 1. It is noted that the wavelength is 3000-3500cm -1 The absorption peaks in the range become broader and the peak intensity greater, indicating that the starch is non-covalently bound to the polyphenol through hydrogen bonds. The starch-polyphenol complexes of example 1 had wavelengths of 576, 930, 1020 and 1155cm -1 The compound has stronger absorption peaks, which indicates that the structure of the starch is changed due to stronger interaction between the starch and polyphenol. Furthermore, the complexation of starch with polyphenols did not generate new absorption peaks, indicating that no new covalent bonds were formed. Therefore, the starch and polyphenol in the functional corn flour form a non-covalent complex through non-covalent interaction.
2. zein-Polyphenol Complex characterization
Under the alkaline condition of oxygen, polyphenol is easily oxidized to form quinone, and when the polyphenol is contacted with protein, the polyphenol is easily attacked by nucleophilic groups (amino group, sulfhydryl group and the like) on the protein to generate further covalent complex reaction, which can result in the reduction of the content of free amino group and free sulfhydryl group of the protein. Fig. 3 is a bar graph of free amino and free thiol content of protein-polyphenol complexes in functional corn flour. The protein-polyphenol complex in the 3 comparative corn flours had higher free amino and free thiol groups. The contact area of the zein and the polyphenol in a water system is increased by a wet milling process, so that the complex reaction rate is accelerated, and the free amino and free sulfydryl of the protein-polyphenol complex are obviously reduced in the corn flour prepared by the comparative example 3. Examples 1-3 further reduced the free amino groups and free thiol groups of the protein-polyphenol complex compared to comparative examples 1-3. SDS was used to determine free amino groups, which could disrupt the non-covalent bonds, so that the decrease in free amino groups demonstrated covalent binding of the protein to the polyphenol; the free thiol groups were measured using 8mol/L urea which inhibits the conversion of thiol groups into disulfide bonds, so that the decrease in free thiol groups also demonstrates the covalent binding of the polyphenol to the free thiol groups of the protein. Quinone formed by oxidation of polyphenol can not only react with free amino group to form C-N covalent bond, but also react with sulfhydryl group of cysteine to form C-S covalent bond. In addition, the protein-polyphenol complex in the corn meal of example 1 has the lowest free amino and free thiol groups, indicating that more protein-polyphenol covalent bonds are formed in the corn meal of example 1.
The covalent binding between the protein and the polyphenol can be verified by SDS-PAGE. FIG. 4 is an SDS-PAGE pattern of protein-polyphenol complexes in functional corn meal. Marker is standard protein molecular weight, and the moving distance of protein molecules in electrophoresis is mainly determined by the relative molecular mass of the protein. The protein-polyphenol complexes of all sample corn meal appeared as high molecular weight aggregates at greater than 140 kDa. As the SDS-PAGE electrophoresis adopts a sample buffer solution containing SDS and beta-mercaptoethanol to break non-covalent interaction and covalent disulfide bonds in the protein-polyphenol complex, the existence of the high molecular weight aggregate band indicates that C-N and/or C-S covalent bonds are formed between the protein and the polyphenol, and further the protein-polyphenol covalent complex is generated. The weak high molecular weight bands of the protein-polyphenol complexes in the corn flour of comparative examples 1-3, while the darker high molecular weight aggregate bands of examples 1-3, demonstrate that the corn flour prepared in the examples effectively increases the covalent bonds between the protein and the polyphenol. In addition, the high molecular weight bands of the protein-polyphenol complex in the corn flour of example 1 are darkest, indicating that the covalent bonds between the protein and the polyphenol are the most, and the covalent bonding of the protein and the polyphenol is the most obvious, forming a more stable protein-polyphenol covalent complex, which has positive effects on the improvement of the stability and the biological accessibility of the polyphenol and the protection of the antioxidant activity.
3. Resistant starch content, antioxidant activity and biological accessibility of active ingredients
Fig. 5 is a bar graph of resistant starch content and antioxidant activity of the digested functional corn flour, and fig. 6 is a bar graph of biological accessibility of active ingredients of the digested functional corn flour.
As can be seen from fig. 5, the resistant starch content of the 3 comparative example corn flours was relatively low, while the resistant starch content of the 3 example corn flours was significantly increased, with example 1 having the highest resistant starch content. The resistant starch has various physiological functions of reducing blood sugar, preventing colon cancer, obesity and the like, and has important functions of regulating blood sugar, blood fat and digestive function. In addition, the DPPH free radical scavenging ability of the corn flour of all the examples is obviously higher than that of all the comparative examples, and particularly, the example 1 has the highest DPPH free radical scavenging ability and shows the strongest antioxidant activity.
As can be seen from fig. 6, in the comparative example, quercetin and procyanidin had lower bioacessability, both below 35%, and procyanidin had higher bioacessability than quercetin. All examples improved the bioavailabilty of the active ingredient compared to the comparative examples, regardless of whether quercetin or procyanidin, and example 1 had the highest bioavailabilty, which may be related to its improved chemical stability of the active ingredient. Higher bioavailabilities result in higher bioavailability, indicating that the body has a higher absorption efficiency for nutrients or active ingredients. In addition, all the examples change the biological utilization mode of active ingredients, and the higher biological accessibility of the procyanidin is changed into the higher biological accessibility of the quercetin, so that the more expensive quercetin (200 yuan/g) is easier to absorb by the body than the less expensive procyanidin (150 yuan/g), and the additional value of the product can be effectively improved. Therefore, the corn flour prepared by the invention has higher resistant starch content, stronger antioxidant activity and higher biological accessibility, and can be applied to the development of starch-based functional food.
4. Chemical stability of active ingredient
FIGS. 7-9 are bar graphs of the chemical stability of the active ingredients in functional corn flour at heat treatment conditions of 65 deg.C, 85 deg.C and 100 deg.C. It can be seen that the retention of the active ingredient was lower in all the comparative examples under the condition of 3 heat treatment temperatures, and the retention of the active ingredient was further decreased as the heat treatment temperature was increased. The retention rates of quercetin and procyanidin in the comparative examples were 47% -53%, 37% -43% and 23% -34% at 65, 85 and 100 ℃ respectively. Compared with the comparative example, the retention rate of the active ingredients in all the examples is obviously improved under the condition of 3 heat treatment temperatures, and the retention rates respectively reach 78% -82%, 69% -73% and 58% -64%. The quercetin and procyanidin retention rates in example 1 were the highest, showing the best chemical stability against high temperatures. As the quercetin and the procyanidine molecules form physical and chemical interaction with starch and protein in the corn flour by specific groups, the structural stability of the quercetin and the procyanidine molecules is improved, the degradation is slowed down under the influence of an external environment, and the retention rate of the quercetin and the procyanidine molecules after heat treatment is improved. Therefore, the functional corn flour prepared by the invention can ensure that the active ingredients, namely quercetin and procyanidin, in the functional corn flour keep good chemical stability in the thermal processing process.
5. Gelatinization and ageing behaviour
Table 1 shows gelatinization characteristic parameters and aged firmness of functional corn flour. The gelatinization characteristics of the 3 comparative examples were different, but not much. Comparative example 3 (wet-process corn meal) had a higher gelatinization viscosity than comparative example 1 (dry-process corn meal) and comparative example 2 (semi-dry-process corn meal), probably due to the fact that wet processing resulted in corn meal with a smaller particle size and a higher starch particle integrity, which made the corn meal easier to gelatinize. However, wet processes produce corn meal with a long steeping time and a low milling efficiency. The milling process (5-6 h) of all the embodiments obviously reduces the soaking time of the traditional wet milling process (36 h), and improves the milling efficiency of the corn. The gelatinization characteristics of the 3 corn flours of the embodiment are better than those of the comparative example 3, and particularly, the corn flour of the embodiment 1 has the highest gelatinization viscosity and shows the optimal gelatinization characteristics. In addition, all example corn flours had lower aged hardnesses than all comparative examples, with the lowest aged hardnesses for the example 1 corn flours, showing significant anti-aging properties. Therefore, the functional corn flour prepared by the invention has good processing quality.
