The first application of biological pretreatment in Chinese spirits, utilizing cellulose-degrading probiotics from Jiangshui to improve the quality of Highland Barely Liquor

ABSTRACT: Highland barley liquor is a distilled spirit made from highland barley on the Tibetan Plateau, but its alcohol yield is limited by the high fiber content of the raw material. In the field of biomass resources, functional microorganisms are commonly used in pretreatment to degrade cellulose and other substances, improving fermentation output. In this study, we isolated the cellulose-degrading probiotic Lactobacillus delbrueckii GR-8 (CMCase 6.21 U/mL) from the traditional vegetable-based fermented food "Jiangshui" and applied biological pretreatment to the fermentation of highland barley liquor. During pretreatment, probiotics enhanced cellulase and amylase activities in the fermented grains, resulting in a 25% reduction in cellulose content and a 112% increase in free reducing sugar content. The pretreatment significantly altered the microbial community structure, enhancing microbial diversity. After distillation, alcohol yield increased by 3.5%, and total acid and ester contents rose by 25% and 23%, respectively. Pyrazine compounds increased by 1290%, while higher alcohols like nonanol, phenylethanol, and hexanol decreased. The treated liquor caused less harm to mice, who showed improved memory, motor skills, and lower oxidative liver damage. This study demonstrates that biological pretreatment enhances both fermentation and the quality of Chinese spirits.

Project description:The urgent need to address water scarcity underscores the importance of enhancing plant drought resistance. This study investigates whether pretreatment with abscisic acid (ABA) activates early stress signaling, thereby improving barley drought response when subsequently exposed to drought conditions. Although the individual responses to drought and ABA are well-documented, their synergistic effects in barley warrant further investigation. This study examines the impact of ABA on barley drought resilience through an experimental design that incorporates four distinct treatments: optimal watering, ABA application at 60 days post-sowing, and two drought stress treatments - one with and the other without prior ABA application. Key physiological parameters, such as photosynthesis, stomatal conductance and chlorophyll content, were analyzed in conjunction with transcriptomics. The results suggest that ABA pretreatment initiates early stomatal closure and elevates the expression of essential genes like NCED1, BG8, and HvA22, priming barley for improved drought resistance. During the drought, ABA-pre-treated barley maintained high chlorophyll levels, indicating sustained photosynthetic activity, a trend that persisted across treatments during the post-drought recovery phase. Furthermore, ABA pre-treatment was found to preserve photosystem II efficiency during drought conditions. Transcriptomic analyses revealed distinct gene expression profiles, alternative splicing profile and isoform switching, highlighting the molecular complexities of ABA role in drought response. These alterations span stress response, metabolic pathways, and DNA modification processes, providing a comprehensive view of ABA treatment's regulatory and metabolic impacts. In conclusion, ABA pretreatment strengthens barley drought defense by fostering stomatal closure and gene activation, guiding research strategies grounded in ABA and suggesting that genotypes with elevated ABA levels could have enhanced resilience and recovery capabilities.

Project description:Analysis of non-differentiated Caco-2 intestinal epithelial cell line treated with polydextrose fermentation metabolites fermented for 48 hours in 4-stage in vitro colon simulator, in which the conditions mimic the human proximal, ascending, transverse and distal colon in sequence , as well as with medium, 100 mM NaCl and 5 mM butyrate. Polydextrose, a soluble fiber fermented in colon, was fermented with the in vitro colon simulator in three amounts of 0%, 1% and 2%. Results provide insight into the mechanisms underlying colon cancer cells and a comparison of a complex fiber metabolome to 5 mM butyrate and 100 mM NaCl. Furthermore, the results give insight of dosage effect of increasing the concentration of fiber. High level of dietary fiber has been epidemiologically linked to protection against the risk for developing colon cancer. The mechanisms of this protection are not clear. Fermentation of dietary fiber in the colon results in production of for example butyrate that has drawn attention as a chemopreventive agent. Polydextrose, a soluble fiber that is only partially fermented in colon, was fermented in an in vitro colon simulator, in which the conditions mimic the human proximal, ascending, transverse and distal colon in sequence. The subsequent fermentation metabolome were applied on colon cancer cells, and the gene expression changes studied. Polydextrose fermentation down-regulated classes linked with cell cycle, and affected number of metabolically active cells. Further, up-regulated effects on classes linked with apoptosis implicate that polydextrose fermentation plays a role in induction of apoptosis in colon cancer cells. The up-regulated genes involved also key regulators of lipid metabolism, such as PPARg and PGC-1α. These results offer hypotheses for the mechanisms of two health benefits linked with consumption of dietary fiber, reducing risk of development of colon cancer, and dyslipidemia. Non-differentiated Caco-2 cells were treated with polydextrose fermentation metabolites from the vessels representing different parts of the colon, or with 100 mM NaCl or with 5 mM butyrate for 24 hours. For polydextrose fermentation three concentrations of polydextrose were used: 0%, 1% and 2% for a simulation that lasted for 48 hours. Polydextrose fermentation samples from total of 12 vessels, as well as from medium sample, 5 mM butyrate and 100 mM NaCl were analysed as single replica.
