Optimization of Solid-State Fermentation Extraction of Inonotus hispidus Fruiting Body Melanin.

ABSTRACT: Melanin has good nutritional and medicinal value; however, its extraction rate is extremely low. This study explored the edible and medicinal fungus Inonotus hispidus fruiting body melanin (IHFM) extraction process and solid-state fermentation conditions. The results showed that the best way to extract IHFM is the compound enzymatic method, with complex enzyme 26.63 mg/g, liquid material ratio 5:1, enzymatic hydrolysis 80 min, pH 4.61, and enzymolysis temperature at 36.07 °C. The yield of IHFM was 23.73 ± 0.57%, which was equivalent to 1.27 times before optimization. The best solid medium formula was normal pH, rice 20 g per cultivation bottle, maltose 22 g/L, beef extract 4.4 g/L, carbon-nitrogen ratio 5:1, and liquid-to-material ratio 1.1:1, where the IHFM yield was 31.80 ± 1.34%, which was equivalent to 1.7 times that before optimization. In summary, solid-state fermentation and extraction optimization greatly improved the yield of melanin, provided a reference to produce melanin, and laid a foundation for the development and utilization of melanin.

Project description:Melanin is a natural pigment with a high content and a complex polymer structure. In this study, both water-soluble and water-insoluble melanin were obtained from the fruiting bodies of the mushroom Inonotus hispidus, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), ultraviolet (UV) absorption, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, elemental analysis, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, pyrolysis gas chromatography mass spectroscopy (Py-GCMS), and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS/MS) were used to analyze the water-soluble and water-insoluble I. hispidus fungal melanin (IHFM). Differences in the chemical composition and structure of I. hispidus fungal melanin (IHFM) were found. Studies showed that both have a maximum absorbance at 226 nm, and the maximum mass-to-charge ratios are [M + H] + m/z = 272.2434 and 272.0308, respectively. Elemental analysis revealed that they both contain C, H, N, O, and do not contain sulfur, which is only found in eumelanin. The differences between water-soluble and water-insoluble IHFM may relate to the following factors: (i) the microscopic particles of water-soluble IHFM are relatively small, the arrangement is relatively neat, and they contain a large quantity of benzene, phenol, and indole compounds; and (ii) the microscopic particles of water-insoluble IHFM are larger and the arrangement is irregular. The types and quantities of benzene, phenol, and indole compounds are relatively small, rich in a variety of sugar monomers, and may be insoluble in water due to the presence of a greater number of aliphatic groups. Studies have found that water-soluble IHFM has good cellular antioxidant activity, can reduce oxidative damage by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) on LO2 cells effectively and can significantly reduce the level of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) to protect the liver. These results are beneficial in order to develop applications of melanin in the food industry and in other fields.

Project description:BackgroundHigh amounts of insoluble substrates exist in the traditional solid-state fermentation (SSF) system. The presence of these substrates complicates the determination of microbial biomass. Thus, enzyme activity is used as the sole index for the optimization of the traditional SSF system, and the relationship between microbial growth and enzyme synthesis is always ignored. This study was conducted to address this deficiency. All soluble nutrients from tea stalk were extracted using water. The aqueous extract was then mixed with polyurethane sponge to establish a modified SSF system, which was then used to conduct tannase production. With this system, biomass, enzyme activity, and enzyme productivity could be measured rationally and accurately. Thus, the association between biomass and enzyme activity could be easily identified, and the shortcomings of traditional SSF could be addressed.ResultsDifferent carbon and nitrogen sources exerted different effects on microbial growth and enzyme production. Single-factor experiments showed that glucose and yeast extract greatly improved microbial biomass accumulation and that tannin and (NH4)2SO4 efficiently promoted enzyme productivity. Then, these four factors were optimized through response surface methodology. Tannase activity reached 19.22 U/gds when the added amounts of tannin, glucose, (NH4)2SO4, and yeast extract were 7.49, 8.11, 9.26, and 2.25%, respectively. Tannase activity under the optimized process conditions was 6.36 times higher than that under the initial process conditions. The optimized parameters were directly applied to the traditional tea stalk SSF system. Tannase activity reached 245 U/gds, which is 2.9 times higher than our previously reported value.ConclusionsIn this study, a modified SSF system was established to address the shortcomings of the traditional SSF system. Analysis revealed that enzymatic activity and microbial biomass are closely related, and different carbon and nitrogen sources have different effects on microbial growth and enzyme production. The maximal tannase activity was obtained under the optimal combination of nutrient sources that enhances cell growth and tannase accumulation. Moreover, tannase production through the traditional tea stalk SSF was markedly improved when the optimized parameters were applied. This work provides an innovative approach to bioproduction research through SSF.
