Abstract

This feedstuff for animals is yeast cell walls extracted from yeast cultured using potato residues which are residues obtained from potatoes from which starch has been taken out. When the β-glucan content and chitin content in the yeast cell walls are measured, it is found that the feedstuff for animals satisfies both conditions represented by formula (F1) and formula (F2). (F1): GYPD / G > 1; (F2): CYPD / C < 1, where: G is the β-glucan content (mass%) in the yeast cell walls; C is the chitin content (μmol/mg) in the yeast cell walls; GYPD is the β-glucan content (mass%) in the yeast cell walls extracted from yeast cultured using a YPD medium; and CYPD is the chitin content (μmol/mg) in the yeast cell walls extracted from yeast cultured using a YPD medium.

[Method for extracting yeast cell walls]
Next, the yeast cell wall extraction method according to the present embodiment will be described. The yeast cell wall extraction method according to the present embodiment includes a step of ethanol fermenting potato residue, which is the residue after extracting starch from potatoes, with starch-degrading enzymes and yeast while culturing the yeast to obtain an ethanol fermented product (hereinafter also referred to as the "first step"), a step of separating the yeast from the ethanol fermented product (hereinafter also referred to as the "second step"), and a step of extracting yeast cell walls from the yeast that satisfy the following condition 1 (hereinafter also referred to as the "third step").
(Condition 1)
When the contents of β-glucan and chitin in the yeast cell wall are measured, the conditions shown in both the formula (F1) and the formula (F2) are satisfied.
 本実施形態に係る酵母細胞壁の抽出方法によれば、前述の本実施形態に係る動物用飼料を効率よく、作製できる。 The yeast cell wall extraction method according to this embodiment allows the animal feed according to the embodiment described above to be produced efficiently.
 第一工程においては、まず、芋類からでんぷんを取り出した後の残渣である芋残渣を準備する。
 芋類としては、前述のとおりである。
 芋残渣の水分含有量は、特に限定されない。ただし、糖化発酵の観点からは、芋残渣の水分含有量は、30質量%以上であることが好ましい。
 芋残渣としては、乾燥した芋残渣を使用してもよい。乾燥した芋残渣を使用する場合は、水を加え、芋残渣の水分含有量を調整すればよい。また、乾燥した芋残渣を、でんぷん搾取後の高水分含有の芋残渣に混合して使用してもよい。
In the first step, potato residue, which is the residue remaining after extracting starch from potatoes, is prepared.
As for potatoes, they are as mentioned above.
The water content of the potato residue is not particularly limited, however, from the viewpoint of saccharification and fermentation, the water content of the potato residue is preferably 30% by mass or more.
As the potato residue, dried potato residue may be used. When dried potato residue is used, water may be added to adjust the moisture content of the potato residue. Also, the dried potato residue may be mixed with the potato residue having a high moisture content after starch extraction.
 第一工程においては、次に、芋残渣を、でんぷん分解酵素と酵母とでエタノール発酵しつつ、酵母を培養して、エタノール発酵物を得る。
 芋残渣は、そのまま発酵処理してもよいが、芋残渣に残存するでんぷんを糊化するため、発酵処理の前に加熱処理することが好ましい。加熱条件としては、加熱温度が60℃以上であることが好ましく、加熱時間が5分間以上であることが好ましい。加熱温度が60℃以上であれば、芋残渣に残存するでんぷんの糊化効率を高めることができる。加熱時間は、特に限定されず、加熱温度を考慮して適宜設定できる。
In the first step, the potato residue is then subjected to ethanol fermentation using starch-degrading enzymes and yeast, while the yeast is cultured, to obtain an ethanol fermented product.
The potato residue may be fermented as is, but it is preferable to heat treat it before fermentation in order to gelatinize the starch remaining in the potato residue. As heating conditions, a heating temperature of 60°C or higher and a heating time of 5 minutes or longer are preferable. A heating temperature of 60°C or higher can increase the gelatinization efficiency of the starch remaining in the potato residue. The heating time is not particularly limited and can be set appropriately taking into account the heating temperature.
 でんぷん分解酵素による処理と、酵母による発酵処理とは、別々に行ってもよく、同時に行ってもよい。 The treatment with the starch-degrading enzyme and the fermentation treatment with yeast can be carried out separately or simultaneously.
 酵母は、前述のとおりである。
 でんぷん分解酵素は、特に限定されるものではなく、でんぷんを分解する酵素であればよい。でんぷん分解酵素としては、α-アミラーゼ、およびグルコアミラーゼなどが挙げられる。また、芋残渣の粘性を下げるために、でんぷん分解酵素以外に、ペクチナーゼ、またはセルラーゼなどを併用してもよい。
The yeast is as described above.
The starch-degrading enzyme is not particularly limited, and may be any enzyme that degrades starch. Examples of the starch-degrading enzyme include α-amylase and glucoamylase. In order to reduce the viscosity of the potato residue, pectinase or cellulase may be used in combination with the starch-degrading enzyme.
 α-アミラーゼの添加量は、芋残渣固形分1g当たり、9×10-5ユニット(以下、「U」とも称する)以上600U以下であることが好ましく、8×10-3U以上20U以下であることがより好ましい。グルコアミラーゼは、芋残渣固形分1g当たり、3×10-4U以上200U以下であることが好ましく、3×10-2U以上0.2U以下であることがより好ましい。
 セルラーゼを用いる場合、その添加量は、芋残渣固形分1g当たり、1×10-4U以上100U以下で添加することが好ましい。ペクチナーゼを用いる場合、その添加量は、芋残渣固形分1g当たり、1×10-3U以上1000U以下であることが好ましく、1×10-1U以上1U以下であることがより好ましい。
The amount of α-amylase added is preferably 9×10 −5 units (hereinafter also referred to as “U”) to 600 U per gram of potato residue solid content, and more preferably 8×10 −3 U to 20 U. The amount of glucoamylase added is preferably 3×10 −4 U to 200 U per gram of potato residue solid content, and more preferably 3×10 −2 U to 0.2 U.
When cellulase is used, the amount added is preferably 1×10 −4 U to 100 U per gram of potato residue solid content. When pectinase is used, the amount added is preferably 1×10 −3 U to 1000 U, more preferably 1×10 −1 U to 1 U, per gram of potato residue solid content.
 第二工程においては、エタノール発酵物から酵母を分離する。
 エタノール発酵物に含まれるエタノールなどの液体成分は、エタノール発酵物を圧搾する方法、および、エタノール発酵物を加熱する方法の少なくとも一方を行うことにより、除去できる。
 エタノール発酵物から液体成分を除去すれば、酵母を分離できる。
In the second step, the yeast is separated from the ethanol fermentate.
Liquid components such as ethanol contained in the ethanol fermentation product can be removed by at least one of a method of squeezing the ethanol fermentation product and a method of heating the ethanol fermentation product.
By removing the liquid components from the ethanol fermentation product, the yeast can be separated.
 第三工程においては、酵母から、酵母細胞壁を抽出する。
 酵母細胞壁を抽出するためには、まず、温度50℃で10時間以上インキュベートすることで自己融解を生じさせた後、酵母を粉砕して、粉砕物を得ることが好ましい。
 粉砕方法は、乾式粉砕であってよく、湿式粉砕であってもよい。粉砕装置としては、ビーズミル、ボールミル、およびコロイドミルなどが挙げられる。
 そして、得られた粉砕物を、エタノールなどで洗浄し、その後、固形分を沈殿させることで、酵母細胞壁を画分して、酵母細胞壁を抽出できる。
 以上のようにして、前記条件1を満たす酵母細胞壁を抽出できる。
In the third step, the yeast cell walls are extracted from the yeast.
In order to extract the yeast cell walls, it is preferable to first cause autolysis by incubating at a temperature of 50° C. for 10 hours or more, and then pulverize the yeast to obtain a pulverized product.
The pulverization method may be dry pulverization or wet pulverization. Examples of the pulverization apparatus include a bead mill, a ball mill, and a colloid mill.
The resulting pulverized product is washed with ethanol or the like, and then the solid content is precipitated to fractionate the yeast cell walls, allowing the yeast cell walls to be extracted.
In this manner, yeast cell walls that satisfy condition 1 above can be extracted.

 実施例1で得られた酵母細胞壁と、酵母細胞壁の試薬を用いた場合における腫瘍壊死因子(TNFα)への影響を評価した結果を、図6に示す。
 実施例1で得られた酵母細胞壁と、酵母細胞壁の試薬を用いた場合におけるインターロイキン-1β(IL-1b)への影響を評価した結果を、図7に示す。
 なお、図6および図7において、実施例1は、酵母としてピキア・クドリアブゼビを用いているので、P.kudriavzeviiと表記し、Zymosanは、試薬名を表記した。また、酵母細胞壁を使用しなかった例は、Controlと表記した。
FIG. 6 shows the results of evaluating the effects of the yeast cell wall obtained in Example 1 and the yeast cell wall reagent on tumor necrosis factor (TNFα).
FIG. 7 shows the results of evaluating the effect on interleukin-1β (IL-1b) when the yeast cell wall obtained in Example 1 and a yeast cell wall reagent are used.
6 and 7, Example 1 uses Pichia kudriavzevii as yeast, and is therefore indicated as P. kudriavzevii, and Zymosan is the name of the reagent. In addition, the example in which the yeast cell wall was not used is indicated as Control.
 図6および図7に示す結果から、実施例1で得られた酵母細胞壁は、酵母細胞壁の試薬であるZymosanと比較して、遺伝子発現が抑制できることが確認された。また、実施例1で得られた酵母細胞壁は、酵母細胞壁を使用しなかった場合(Control)と比較して、遺伝子発現が抑制できることが確認された。よって、実施例1で得られた酵母細胞壁によれば、免疫を調節できることが確認された。 The results shown in Figures 6 and 7 confirm that the yeast cell wall obtained in Example 1 is able to suppress gene expression, compared to Zymosan, a yeast cell wall reagent. It was also confirmed that the yeast cell wall obtained in Example 1 is able to suppress gene expression, compared to a case in which no yeast cell wall was used (Control). Thus, it was confirmed that the yeast cell wall obtained in Example 1 is able to regulate immunity.
