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 a high-efficiency preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Along with diversification of dietary structures of people and more hypertension, obesity, cardiovascular diseases and the like caused by refined main food and unreasonable dietary structures such as a large amount of meat and the like, the demands on coarse food grain foods such as corn and the like are more and more extensive. Corn is the first large grain crop in the world, is widely planted worldwide, has a annual corn yield of up to 2.7 hundred million tons in 2021 and is the second large corn producing country worldwide. The corn has high nutritive value and medicinal value, contains about 70% of starch and 8% -14% of protein, is rich in vitamins, carotenoid, dietary fiber and other nutritional ingredients, and has the effects of beautifying, improving eyesight, preventing coronary heart disease, hypertension and the like. The protein matrix in corn is a large and complex protein molecule formed by disulfide bonding of different protein subunits in gluten, prolamin is present in spheroids in the gluten matrix, and starch particles are embedded in the gluten matrix. Because of the unique combination mode of starch and protein in corn flour, the gelatinization of starch is limited in the food cooking process, so that the processing and eating quality of corn food are affected, and the development and utilization of corn as food raw material are not facilitated.
In the development of corn food products, grinding and milling are the basis of deep processing of corn kernels, and are also important pretreatment links. At present, the corn flour milling modes mainly comprise 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 property, but has poor processing quality, coarse mouthfeel and easy aging; the corn flour prepared by adopting 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 corn wet milling requires a long processing time, generally about 36-48 hours of soaking, which severely reduces milling efficiency and increases production cost.
Currently, corn steep processes have a variety of processes including fermentation, enzymatic and ultrasonic. The fermentation method has complex soaking process conditions and processes, and is not easy to control in production, so the method is not widely used in the corn flour milling production industry. The enzymatic soaking process shortens the soaking time, reduces the environmental pollution and improves the production efficiency. The proteases used at home and abroad mainly comprise acid protease, neutral protease, alkaline protease, bromelain, papain and the like. In addition, to break the cell wall structure in corn kernels, wall breaking enzymes such as cellulases, pectinases, xylanases and the like are also used. The soaking mode includes mixed soaking of acid and enzyme, stepwise soaking of wall breaking enzyme and protease, synchronous soaking after compounding of several proteases, etc. Ultrasound-assisted technology has become a routine technology for producing green, economical alternative foods and natural products. The ultrasonic cavitation shortens the soaking time, so that the protein in the corn is separated from the starch, the starch can be fully gelatinized in the processing process of the corn flour, and the protein can form a good network structure, so that the processing characteristics of the corn flour are improved, but in the wet soaking process, part of bioactive components in the corn can be lost along with soaking water, and the functional characteristics of the corn flour are reduced.

(II) results and analysis
1. Corn starch-polyphenol complex characterization
The starch-polyphenol complexing ratio refers to the degree of complexing of starch with polyphenol. FIG. 1 is a bar graph of the starch-polyphenol recombination rate in functional corn flour. The corn flour of comparative example 1 has very low starch-polyphenol complexing ratio, and the starch and polyphenol cannot be effectively contacted due to the fact that the dry milling does not have water, so that the complexing ratio is low. The corn flours of comparative example 2 and comparative example 3 gradually increase the starch-polyphenol complexation rate, which may be related to the water participation and longer reaction times. The 3 examples corn flour significantly increased the starch-polyphenol complexation rate compared to 3 comparative examples, and example 1 had the greatest starch-polyphenol complexation rate, which greatly promoted the interaction and binding of starch and polyphenol.
The infrared absorption spectrum forms essentially a transition of rotational-vibrational energy level, and the absorption peak of the molecule and the intensity and position of the peak can be determined according to the vibration condition of the molecule. FIG. 2 is an infrared spectrum of a starch-polyphenol complex in functional corn flour. All samples had a broad band between 3000-3500cm -1 due to the stretching vibration and absorption of hydrogen bonding groups (O-H). The peak at 2927cm -1 is due to the antisymmetric stretching vibration of CH 2 and the band at 1649cm -1 is due to COO-stretching vibration. In addition, there are many absorption peaks at 500-1800cm -1, which are mostly caused by vibrations of some double bond carbons, ester bonds and ether bonds. All absorption peak intensities of the starch-polyphenol complexes in the corn flour of comparative examples 1-3 were lower, while examples 1-3 significantly increased the infrared spectrum absorption peak intensities of the starch-polyphenol complexes, especially the starch-polyphenol complex of example 1 was the strongest. Notably, the absorption peak becomes broader and the peak intensity is greater in the wavelength range of 3000-3500cm -1, indicating that starch is non-covalently bound to polyphenols via hydrogen bonds. The starch-polyphenol complexes of example 1 have stronger absorption peaks at wavelengths 576, 930, 1020 and 1155cm -1, indicating that stronger interactions of starch with polyphenols result in changes in starch structure. In addition, the complexing of starch with polyphenols did not produce new absorption peaks, indicating that no new covalent bonds were formed. Thus, the starch in the functional corn flour forms a non-covalent complex with the polyphenol through non-covalent interactions.
2. Zein-polyphenol complex characterization
Polyphenols are susceptible to oxidation to form quinones under aerobic alkaline conditions and when contacted with proteins, are susceptible to further covalent complexing reactions by attack of nucleophilic groups (amino and sulfhydryl groups, etc.) on the proteins, which results in reduced free amino and free sulfhydryl content of the proteins. FIG. 3 is a bar graph of the free amino and free thiol content of a protein-polyphenol complex in functional corn flour. The protein-polyphenol complexes in the 3 comparative corn flours had higher free amino groups and free thiol groups. The wet milling process increases the contact area of the corn protein and the polyphenol in a water system, accelerates the composite reaction rate, and leads the corn powder prepared in the comparative example 3 to obviously reduce the free amino and the free sulfhydryl of the protein-polyphenol compound. Examples 1-3 further reduced the free amino and free thiol groups of the protein-polyphenol complex as compared to comparative examples 1-3. SDS was used in the determination of free amino groups, which disrupt non-covalent bonds, so that a decrease in free amino groups demonstrated covalent binding of the protein to polyphenols; since 8mol/L urea, which can inhibit the conversion of the thiol into disulfide, was used in the measurement of the free thiol, the decrease in the free thiol also demonstrated covalent binding of the polyphenol to the free thiol of the protein. The quinone formed by oxidation of polyphenols can react not only with free amino groups to form C-N covalent bonds, but also with thiol groups of cysteines to form C-S covalent bonds. Furthermore, the protein-polyphenol complexes in the corn flour of example 1 had the lowest free amino groups and free thiol groups, indicating that more protein-polyphenol covalent bonds were formed in the corn flour of example 1.
Covalent binding between protein and polyphenol can be verified by SDS-PAGE. FIG. 4 is a SDS-PAGE diagram of protein-polyphenol complexes in functional corn flour. Marker is the standard protein molecular weight, and the movement distance of protein molecules in electrophoresis is mainly determined by the relative molecular weight of the protein. The protein-polyphenol complexes of all sample corn flour appear as high molecular weight aggregates at greater than 140 kDa. Since SDS-PAGE electrophoresis uses a loading buffer solution containing SDS and beta-mercaptoethanol to break the noncovalent interactions and covalent disulfide bonds in the protein-polyphenol complex, the presence of this high molecular weight aggregate band indicates that C-N and/or C-S covalent bonds are formed between the protein and the polyphenol, thereby producing the protein-polyphenol covalent complex. The weak high molecular weight bands of the protein-polyphenol complexes in the corn flours of comparative examples 1-3, while the darker high molecular weight aggregate bands of examples 1-3, demonstrate that the corn flours prepared in examples effectively increase covalent bonds between protein and 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 greatest, and the covalent bonds between the protein and the polyphenol are the most obvious, forming a more stable protein-polyphenol covalent complex, which has positive effects on the improvement of polyphenol stability and bioavailability and the protection of antioxidant activity.
3. Resistant starch content, antioxidant activity and active ingredient bioavailability
Fig. 5 is a bar graph of resistant starch content and antioxidant activity after functional corn meal digestion, and fig. 6 is a bar graph of active ingredient bioavailability after functional corn meal digestion.
As can be seen from fig. 5, the resistant starch content of the 3 comparative corn flours is relatively low, while the resistant starch content of the 3 example corn flours is significantly increased, and example 1 has 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 digestion. In addition, the DPPH radical scavenging ability of the corn meal of all examples was significantly higher than that of all comparative examples, especially example 1 had the highest DPPH radical scavenging ability and exhibited the strongest antioxidant activity.
As can be seen from fig. 6, quercetin and procyanidins in the comparative example have lower bioavailability, both below 35%, and procyanidins have higher bioavailability than quercetin. All examples improved the bioavailability of the active ingredient compared to the comparative examples, whether quercetin or procyanidin, and example 1 had the highest bioavailability, which may be related to its improved chemical stability of the active ingredient. Higher bioavailability results in higher bioavailability, indicating that the body has higher absorption efficiency of nutrients or active ingredients. In addition, all the examples change the bioavailable mode of the active ingredient from higher procyanidin bioavailability to higher quercetin bioavailability, so that the more expensive quercetin (200 yuan/g) is easier to be absorbed by the organism than the procyanidin (150 yuan/g) with relatively low price, and the added 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 foods.
4. Chemical stability of the active ingredient
Figures 7-9 are bar graphs of chemical stability of active ingredients in functional corn flour under heat treatment conditions of 65 ℃, 85 ℃ and 100 ℃. It can be seen that the retention of the active ingredient was lower in all of the comparative examples under the conditions of 3 heat treatment temperatures, and the retention of the active ingredient was further decreased as the heat treatment temperature was increased. The retention of quercetin and procyanidins in the comparative examples at 65, 85 and 100 ℃ was 47% -53%, 37% -43% and 23% -34%, respectively. The retention of active ingredient in all examples was significantly improved at 3 heat treatment temperatures compared to the comparative examples, reaching 78% -82%, 69% -73% and 58% -64%, respectively. The best retention of quercetin and procyanidins in example 1 exhibited the best chemical stability against high temperatures. As the quercetin and procyanidin molecules form physical and chemical interactions with starch and protein in corn flour by specific groups, the structural stability of the quercetin and procyanidin molecules is improved, and degradation is slowed down under the influence of external environment, so that the retention rate of the quercetin and procyanidin molecules after heat treatment is improved. Therefore, the functional corn flour prepared by the invention can ensure that active ingredients of quercetin and procyanidine in the functional corn flour have good chemical stability in the hot processing process.
5. Gelatinization characteristics and aging characteristics
Table 1 shows gelatinization parameters and aged hardness of functional corn flour. There were differences in the gelatinization properties of the 3 comparative examples, but not so much. Comparative example 3 (wet corn flour) has a higher gelatinized viscosity than comparative example 1 (dry corn flour) and comparative example 2 (semi-dry corn flour), probably due to the smaller particle size of the corn particles by wet processing and the higher integrity of the starch particles, which makes the corn flour easier to gelatinize. However, wet-process corn flour has a too long soaking 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 corn milling efficiency. The gelatinization characteristics of the 3 examples of corn flour are all better than those of comparative example 3, especially the corn flour of example 1 has the highest gelatinization viscosity and exhibits the optimal gelatinization characteristics. Furthermore, all of the example corn flours had lower aged hardness than all of the comparative examples, and the example 1 corn flour had the lowest aged hardness, exhibiting significant anti-aging characteristics. Therefore, the functional corn flour prepared by the invention has good processing quality.
