Example 2 analysis of sucrose conversion Effect of sweet sorghum stalk juice
1. Experimental method
The sucrose invertase described in example 1 was added to sweet sorghum stalk juice (prepared by the method of step 1 of example 1) in an amount of 0.01% (w/v) for enzymolysis, and the enzymolysis was performed in a constant temperature shaker at 42 ℃ and 150rpm, samples were taken at 0, 6, 12, 18, and 24 hours, and the main sugar component in the hydrolysate was measured by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and the degree of sucrose hydrolysis and inversion was analyzed.
The detection method comprises the following steps:
(1) Zafex Carbohydrate ES chromatography columns (250X 4.6mm,5 μm).
(2) Chromatographic conditions, mobile phase A-25% ultrapure water, mobile phase B-75% acetonitrile, flow rate 1.0ml/min, chromatographic column temperature 40 ℃, RI differential detector temperature 30 ℃, sample injection amount 15.00 mu L, and running time 25min.
2. Experimental results
As can be seen from the fact that the hydrolysis and conversion conditions of sucrose in the sweet sorghum juice before and after treatment are shown in FIG. 3, after the sucrase is added into the sweet sorghum juice stock solution for reaction for 24 hours, the concentration of sucrose is converted from 59.59g/L to the remaining 1.02g/L through hydrolysis, and the total amount of converted sugar reaches 133.69g/L. The sucrose hydrolysis rate of the sweet sorghum juice under the action of sucrose invertase reaches 98.29 percent, the sucrose invertase rate is 99.13 percent, and the sucrose loss rate is only 0.87 percent. Meanwhile, trace sucrose still remains unhydrolyzed when the reaction is carried out for 24 hours, so that no sucrose invertase remains after the enzymolysis reaction, and most sucrose is hydrolyzed and converted when the reaction is carried out for 18 hours, and the total amount of invert sugar (fructose and glucose) is not significantly different from the value when the reaction is carried out for 24 hours, so that the sucrose hydrolysis treatment time of the process can be optimized to 18 hours.
This example also performed a first/second order enzymatic hydrolysis reaction kinetic model fit based on sweet sorghum juice sucrose inversion experimental data, wherein the reaction rate is expressed as invert sugar production per unit time after sucrose hydrolysis (fig. 4). The conversion sugar production amount and the enzymatic reaction time at different time points are subjected to nonlinear fitting, so that the fact that the fitting effect of the sucrose hydrolysis reaction of the sucrase in the sweet sorghum juice substrate in a primary dynamic model (R 2 > 0.999) and a secondary dynamic model (R 2 > 0.999) is good is verified, the experimental value of the final conversion sugar production amount of the sweet sorghum juice stock solution is slightly lower than the predicted value of the primary/secondary dynamic model, and the reasonable technological enzymolysis reaction condition setting is proved, and no sucrose invertase residue exists.
Example 3 analysis of degumming Effect of sweet sorghum straw juice
In this example, the particle size distribution of the juice of sweet sorghum stalks, which was not treated (obtained by the method of example 1, step 1) and treated by the method of each step described in example 1, was measured by a wet full-automatic laser particle size analyzer. The test parameters are that the refractive index of the sample is 1.61-0.1i, the refractive index of the medium is 1.33, the dispersion medium is water, the test particle size range is 0.1-800 mu m, the ultrasonic power is 50W, and the circulation flow is 1L/min. After the background collection procedure is completed, the untreated and treated sweet sorghum stalk juice is prepared and is detected on a 50mL machine. Coarse separation of sweet sorghum juice, degumming and decoloring, settling and impurity removing, and grain size distribution of sweet sorghum stalk juice. The results are shown in FIG. 5.
The diameter range of the colloid particles is generally 0.001-1 mu m (namely 1-1000 nm) (Gregory, 2005), and the particle size is differentiated according to the cumulative distribution curve of the particle size of the suspended particles, so as to obtain the volume distribution ratio of the particles of the sweet sorghum stalk juice before/after treatment in different particle size ranges.
The ratio of the colloidal particles was found to be 18.57% in the crude sweet sorghum juice chaotropic (particle size <1 μm) as compared with the ratio of the colloidal particles (particle size <1 μm) in the crude sweet sorghum juice chaotropic (upper graph in FIG. 5), and the ratio of the colloidal particles in the degummed and decolorized sweet sorghum juice (middle graph in FIG. 5) was directly reduced to 0.07%, and the removal rate of the colloidal particles was found to be 99.62%. Finally, the grain size of the sweet sorghum juice (the lower graph in fig. 5) subjected to sedimentation and impurity removal is almost free of grains with the grain size of more than 0.1 mu m, which shows that the flocculation and impurity removal effect of the process is good.

Referring to FIG. 13, it is understood that Clostridium tyrobutyrate Cirm BIA 2237 (control group) and mutant TGL-A236 produced 5.6247g/L and 9.6618g/L of butyric acid, respectively, at a peptone concentration of 2g/L, and that mutant TGL-A236 produced significantly higher amounts of butyric acid than Clostridium tyrobutyrate Cirm BIA 2237. When the peptone concentration is 8g/L, the butyric acid final concentration of clostridium tyrobutyrate Cirm BIA 2237 is 12.3412g/L, and clostridium tyrobutyrate TGL-A236 can synthesize 24.4276g/L butyric acid at 72h of fermentation, which is also significantly higher than that of the control group. The experimental result proves that the peptone can be used as a nitrogen source in a sweet sorghum juice culture medium for clostridium tyrobutyricum to grow and metabolize. In addition, under the culture condition of sufficient carbon source, the peptone addition amount is in the range of 2-8 g/L, the mutant strain TGL-A236 has a remarkable advantage in terms of producing butyric acid, and the butyric acid yield is improved with the increase of the peptone addition amount.
While the invention has been described in detail in the foregoing general description and with reference to specific embodiments thereof, it will be apparent to one skilled in the art that modifications and improvements can be made thereto. Accordingly, such modifications or improvements may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention and are intended to be within the scope of the invention as claimed.
