Description

PLANT EXTRACTION PROCESS
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an improved method for extraction of plant compounds.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION A number of plant compounds, e.g. polyphenols, have desired properties, e.g. as antioxidants, colouring or flavouring agent. Plant polyphenols may be added to beverages, dairy products, jams, jellies, soups, fruit porridge, preserves and confectionary products. Furthermore, a high intake of plant polyphenols is believed to reduce the risk of coronary heart diseases, to lower cholesterol, as well as having an inflammatory effect. Thus improved processes for extracting such polyphenols and other plant compounds are highly desirable.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present inventors have now discovered that the extraction of plant compounds, e.g. polyphenols from plant material, can be facilitated by contacting the plant material with a lipolytic enzyme, preferably a cutinase. Accordingly the invention provides in a first aspect a process for producing a plant extract comprising incubating a plant material with an enzyme composition comprising a lipolytic enzyme.
Furthermore the invention provides in a second aspect a process comprising incubating a plant material with an enzyme composition comprising a lipolytic enzyme, and separating an aqueous liquid from said plant material.
Furthermore the invention provides in a third aspect a process for extraction of a compound from a plant material comprising incubating said plant material with an enzyme composition comprising a lipolytic enzyme, and separating an aqueous liquid from said plant material, said liquid comprising said compound.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
By treating the plant material with a lipolytic enzyme, preferably a cutinase, more of the plant solids can be solubilized and brought into suspension in an aqueous liquid.
The aqueous liquid separated from the enzyme treated plant material may comprise one or more compounds. The compound may be any compound present in a plant material. The compound may be a desired compound having any desired property, e.g. as antioxidative, colouring or flavouring. The compound may be selected from the group consisting of 5-(hydroxymethyl)-2 furaldehyde, benzoeic acid, cinnamic acid; phenols, preferably benzoic acid derivatives or cinnamic acid derivatives, more preferably glycosyl benzoates, glycosyl cinnamates, salicylic acid, isovanillic acid, gallic acid, coumaric acid, ferulic acid, caffeic acid, sinapic acid, sinapine; polyphenols, preferably stilbene derivatives or flavonoides, more preferably stilbeneols flavonols anthocyanins isoflavones flavons, most preferably stilbenol glycosides, flavanol glycosides, anthocyanin glycosides, isoflavon glycosides, flavon glycosides, stilbene, phloridzin, resveratrol, kaempferol, quercetin, isorhamnetin, myrecetin, pelagonidin, cyanidin, peonidin, delphinidin, apigenin or luteolin; terpenes, preferably carotenoides, more preferably phytoene neurosporene lycopene zeacarotene carotene; pyrrols preferably tetrapyrrol more preferably tetrapyrrol glycosides, chlorophyll a/b, chlorophyllide a/b, pheophytin a/b, pheophorbide a/b or pyropheophytin a.
The plant material may be any plant material, i.e. vegetable material, comprising a desired compound. Preferred plant material may be derived from berries, pome, citrus fruit, drupes, vegetables, and seed. The plant material preferably comprises material from one or more plant selected from the list comprising grapes (red and green), cranberry, black currant, red currants, lingonberry, elderberry, blueberry, bilberry, gooseberry, crowberry, raspberry, strawberry, blackberry, kiwi, lemon, orange, lime, cherry, plum, peach, mango, apples, pears, carrots, black carrots, lettuce, cabbage, red cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, leak, celery, onion, garlic, ginseng, pepper fruit, chilli, tomato, tea, spinach, ginko biloba, pepper (black or white), coffe berries, coffee beans, rape seed, canola.
When extracting a desired compound belonging to the carotenoides (e.g., phytoene, neurosporene, lycopene, zeacarotene or carotene), which compounds are pH stable, the pH during the extraction step a) is not critical. However, most of the other desired compounds are pH unstable. Examples of pH unstable compounds are cinnamoyl derivatives, flavonoids and flavonoid glycosides. Thus preferably the pH during the incubation in step a) is preferably no more than pH 7.0, no more than pH 6.5, or even no more than pH 6.0, such as no more than pH 5.5. Preferably the pH is at least 3.0, at least 3.5, or even at least 4.0.
The plant material is preferably macerated the prior to or during step a) to reduce the particle size and increase extraction. Preferred is also pulp or pomace from fruit processing, e.g. grape pomace, such as a by-product from wine making, comprising the seeds and skin of the grape and the compound may be polyphenols, such as flavonoids. The plant material may be the residues from a juice process, i.e. the pulp, e.g. black currant pulp or apple pulp. Also preferred as a plant material is any fraction of a plant comprising skin or seed of fruits or vegetables as these parts are especially rich in e.g. polyphenols and/or carotenoides.
The plant material may prior to or simultaneous with the incubation during step a) be contacted with a second enzyme, e.g. a pectinase, and/or a cellulase.
The process of the present invention may be integrated in a process for production of vegetable products such as fruit juice, jams, jellies, soups, fruit porridge, preserves, thereby increasing the content of the desired compound in the vegetable products. Thus the plant material may be incubated with additional enzymes, such as e.g. pectinases, as well as with a lipolytic enzyme, preferably a cutinase, according to the present invention. The process of the present invention may be integrated in a wine making process thereby increasing the content of polyphenols in the grape juice and in the wine following fermentation. In an embodiment all, or substantially all the plant material is solubilized and brought into suspension in the aqueous liquid.
Following extraction the desired compound may be added to or used in beverages, dairy products, infant foods, juice, jams, jellies, soups, fruit porridge preserves and/or confectionary products.
Enzymes
Lipolytic enzyme
A lipolytic enzyme is an enzyme which is capable of hydrolyzing carboxylic ester bonds to release a carboxylic acid or carboxylate (EC 3.1.1), e.g. a lipase, a phospholipase, a cutinase.
The lipolytic enzymes may be prokaryotic, particularly bacterial, or eukaryotic, e.g. from fungal or animal sources. Lipolytic enzymes may be derived, e.g. from the following genera or species: Thermomyces, T. lanuginosus (also known as Humicola lanuginosa), Humicola, H. insolens, Fusarium, F. oxysporum, F. solani, F. heterosporum, Aspergillus, A. tubigensis, A. niger, A. oryzae, Rhizomucor, Candida, C. antarctica, C. rugosa, Penicillium, P. camembertii, Rhizopus, Rhizopus oryzae, Absidia. Dictyostelium, Mucor, Neurospora, Rhizopus, R. arrhizus, R. japonicus, Sclerotinia, Trichophyton, Whetzelinia, Bacillus, Citrobacter, Enterobacter, Edwardsiella, Erwinia, Escherichia, E. coli, Klebsiella, Proteus, Providencia, Salmonella, Serratia, Shigella, Streptomyces, Yersinia, Pseudomonas, P. cepacia, Verticillium, Septoria and Gliocladium.
Some particular examples of lipolytic enzymes are listed as follows:
Phospholipase from bee or snake venom or from mammal pancreas, e.g. porcine pancreas.
Phospholipase from Aspergillus oryzae (EP 575133, JP-A 10-155493), Hyphozyma (U.S. Pat. No. 6127137).
Lipase from Themomyces lanuginosus (also called Humicola lanuginosa) (EP 305216, U.S. Pat. No. 5869438), A. tubigensis (WO 9845453), Fusarium solani (U.S. Pat. No. 5990069).
Lipase/phospholipase from Fusarium oxysporum (WO 98/26057).
Lipolytic enzyme from F. culmorum (U.S. Pat. No. 5830736) or as described in WO 02/00852 (PCT/DK 01/00448) or DK PA 2001 00304.
A variant derived from one of the above enzymes by substituting, deleting or inserting one or more amino acids, e.g. as described in WO 2000/32758, particularly Examples 5 4, 5, 6 and 13, such as variants of lipase from Thermomyces lanuginosus (also called Humicola lanuginosa). Preferred for the present invention are lipolytic enzymes having activity at acid pH, e.g. at pH 7 and below, such as from pH 2 to pH 7, e.g. from pH 3 to pH 5.
Cutinase Preferably the lipolytic enzyme is a cutinase. For the present purposes a cutinase is an enzyme classified as EC 3.1.1.74. While the cutinase to be used for the present invention may be of any origin including mammalian, plant or animal origin it is preferred that the cutinase is of microbial origin. In particular the cutinase may be one derivable from a filamentous fungus or a yeast. Preferred for the present invention are cutinases having activity at acid pH, e.g. at pH 7 and below, such as from pH 2 to pH 7, e.g. from pH 3 to pH 5.
Preferred is a cutinase derived from Humicola insolens, e.g. such as a cutinase encoded by the DNA sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:1 or SEQ ID NO:2, or any sequence being at least 50 %, preferably at least 60 %, more preferably at least 70 %, most preferably at least 80 %, or even at least 90 %, such as at least 95 % identical to the sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:1 or SEQ ID NO:2, or to a fragment thereof, said fragment having cutinase activity. Especially preferred are the variants shown in WO9613580 in table A.
Also preferred is a cutinase derived from Fusarium solani f.sp. pisi {Nectria haematococca), e.g. a cutinase according to WO 94/14964.
Polypeptide identity
The term "polypeptide identity" is understood as the degree of identity between two sequences indicating a derivation of the first sequence from the second. The degree of identity may suitably be determined by means of computer programs known in the art such as GAP provided in the GCG program package (Program Manual for the Wisconsin Package, Version 8, August 1994, Genetics Computer Group, 575 Science Drive, Madison, Wisconsin, USA 53711) (Needleman, S.B. and Wunsch, CD., (1970), Journal of Molecular Biology, 48, 443-453. The following settings for amino acid sequence comparison are used: GAP creation penalty of 3.0 and GAP extension penalty of 0.1. The relevant part of the amino acid sequence for the homology determination is the mature polypeptide, i.e. without the signal peptide.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Lipolytic enzyme and cutinase activity
The lipolytic enzyme and/or cutinase activity may be determined as lipolytic activity using tributyrine as substrate. The method is based on the rate at which the enzyme hydrolyses tributyrin to form butyric acid. The butyric acid is titrated with hydroxide and the consumption of the latter is recorded as a function of time. One Lipase Unit (LU) is defined as the amount of enzyme which, under standard conditions (i.e. at 30.O0C; pH 7.0; with Gum Arabic as emulsifier and tributyrine as substrate) liberates 1 micromol titrable butyric acid per minute.
A folder AF 95/5 describing this analytical method in more detail is available upon request to Novo Nordisk A/S, Denmark, which folder is hereby included by reference.
Enzymes
A cutinase composition comprising the polypeptide shown in SEQ ID NO:2 derived from Humicola insolens.
A cutinase composition derived from Septoria sp. A cutinase composition derived from Verticillium sp. A cutinase composition derived from Gliocladium.sp.
A pectinase, - a composition produced from a strain of Aspergillus aculeatus comprising polygalacturonase activity 26.000 PG/ml (Pectinex® Ultra SP-L).
Example 1 Extraction of polyphenols and anthocyanins from black currant pomace using cutinases from Humicola insolens.
5.0 gram black currant pomace was mixed with 25.0 mL 100 mM acetate buffer pH 5.8 in 50 mL centrifuge vials and 1.00 mL enzyme solution (15000 LU/ml) or blank was added prior to incubation in a waterbath at 40 0C for 120 min. The enzyme used was a cutinase encoded by the DNA sequence shown herein as SEQ ID NO:1. After incubation the samples were centrifuged at 3500 rpm for 15 min. at 4 0C and the supernatant was decanted. Sugar content (°Brix), turbidity (NTU), and pH were measured directly. 1 mL supernatant was diluted 25 times with 0.1 M acetic acid and left overnight at 4 0C prior to UV- Visual spectrofotometry at 430 and 520 nm for estimation of the color and anthocyanin content. Brown index is the ratio between the 520 og 430 nm valuues and indicates the ratioo between anthocyanins and total phenols. All samples were run in duplicates. The results are shown in Table 1. Color results are given as relative to the blank treatments
Table 1 : Extraction of black currant pomace
Figure imgf000006_0001
The cutinase treatment increased the extraction yield of anthocyanins (O. D. 520 nm) by 12 % and total polyphenols (O.D.430 nm) by 17 % compared to blank. Example 2
Extraction of polyphenols and anthocyanins from apple peel using cutinase from Humicola insolens. 5 gram apple peel (Danish lngrid Marie apples) was weighed into 50 mL centrifuge vials. 40 mL 0.1 M acetate buffer pH 5.5 containing the selected enzymes were added followed by incubation in waterbath at 40 0C. After 120 min. the samples were filtered using 1.2 μm vacuum filter. pH were adjusted to 1.0 with 1 M hydrochloric acid and volume were adjusted to 50 mL. After storage overnight at 5 0C the extraction yield was measured by spectrophotometry using absorbance at 360 nm as estimate for the total polyphenol yield and absorbance at 520 nm as estimate for anthocyanin yield.
The following enzyme combinations were used (mL/kg apple peel: Blank containing no enzyme; Pectinase (6.5 PG(3.5)/g); Cutinase (6.5 LU/g); Pectinase (6.5 PG(3.5)/g) + Cutinase (6.5 LU/g). The results are shown in Table 2. Results are given as relative to the blank treatments
Table 2: Extraction of black currant pomace, yield relative to blank
Total Polyphenol Anthocyanins
Blank 100 100
Pectinase 89 67
Cutinase 108 128
Cutinase + Pectinase 119 116
The cutinase increased the extraction yield of polyphenols by 8 % and anthocyanins by 28 % relative to the blank sample. By addition of pectinase and cutinase the polyphenol yield increased 19 % relative to the blank treatment.
Example 3
Extraction of polyphenols and anthocyanins from apple peel using cutinase from Septoria sp. 10 gram apple peel (Danish grown lngrid Marie apples) was suspended in 80 mL 0.1 M acetate buffer pH 5.5 containing the selected enzymes, followed by incubation in waterbath at 40 °C for 10 min followed by vacuum filtration through a 1.2 microM filter. pH were adjusted to 1.0 with 1 M hydrochloric acid. After storage overnight at 5 0C the extraction yield was measured by spectrophotometry using absorbance at 360 nm as estimate for the total polyphenol yield and absorbance at 520 nm as estimate for anthocyanin yield.
The following enzyme combinations were used: Blank - containing no enzyme; Pectinase (250 mL/MT); Septoria cutinase (8000 LU/kg apple peel); Pectinase (0.25 mL/kg apple peel) + Septoria cutinase (8000 LU/kg apple peel). The results are shown in Table 3. Results are given as relative to the blank treatments.
Table 3: Extraction of apple peel, yield relative to blank.
Total Polyphenol Anthocyanins
Blank 100 100
Pectinex Ultra SP-L 105 101
Septoria cutinase 108 121
Septoria cutinase + Pectinase 116 115
The pectinase alone does not change the concentration of the phenolics in the extract. The cutinase increases the extraction yield of polyphenols by 8 % and anthocyanins by 21 % relative to the blank sample. Using cutinase in combination with pectinase the polyphenol yield is further increased.
Example 4
Extraction of polyphenols and anthocyanins from apple peel using cutinases from Verticillium sp. , resp. Gliocladium sp.
Apple peel (Danish lngrid Marie apples) was extracted as in the previous example except that 2.5 gram apple peel was suspended in 20 ml_ 0.1 M acetate buffer pH 5.5.
The following enzyme combinations were used: Blank - containing no enzyme; Pectinase (250 mL/MT); Verticillium cutinase (3200 LU/kg apple peel); Pectinase (0.25 mL/kg apple peel) + Verticillium cutinase (3200 LU/kg apple peel); Gliocladium cutinase (1600 LU/kg apple peel); Pectinase (0.25 mL/kg apple peel) + Gliocladium cutinase (1600 LU/kg apple peel). The results are shown in Table 4. Results are given as relative to the blank treatments.
Table 4: Extraction of apple peel, yield relative to blank.
Total Polyphenol Anthocyanins
Blank 100 100
Pectinase 108 92
Verticillium cutinase 124 98
Gliocladium cutinase 130 106
Verticillium cutinase + Pectinase 163 132
Gliocladium cutinase + Pectinase 140 124
The pectinase alone does not increase extraction of the phenolics. Both cutinases increase the extraction yield of polyphenols by > 20 % but does not influence the yield of anthocyanins. Applying cutinase in combination with pectinase increases both polyphenol and anthocyanin yields.
