Classification of fermentation health raw materials
The microbial fermentation process can produce a variety of valuable metabolites, including amino acids, vitamins, fatty acids, natural pigments, etc., which can provide richer nutritional support and create better health products. A variety of valuable metabolites can be produced during microbial fermentation, including amino acids, vitamins, fatty acids, natural pigments, etc. These metabolites not only provide rich nutritional support for nutraceuticals, but also create innovative products with specific health functions.
Vitamins
While humans are unable to synthesize multivitamins, adequate dietary intake is essential to avoid deficiencies. Fermentation is an alternative strategy to ensure adequate intake of essential vitamins. Such as riboflavin (vitamin B2), folic acid (vitamin B9), cobalamin (B12), or vitamin K, which are involved in several essential human functions, such as nucleic acid synthesis, cellular metabolism, cardiovascular and bone health, and protection against oxidative stress.
Vitamin B Complex: These include vitamin B1 (thiamine), vitamin B2 (riboflavin), vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), vitamin B12 (cobalamin), and more, which play a key role in energy metabolism, nervous system health, and red blood cell production.
Vitamin K2: Vitamin K2 is a menadione series of compounds, a menadione series of compounds produced by the fermentation of Bacillus natto, and is an essential human endogenous high-activity vitamin, which plays an important role in bone health and cardiovascular health. And vitamin K2 produced by fermentation technology has high bioavailability.
PQQ disodium salt: Pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) has strong antioxidant and neuroprotective effects, and its purity and stability can be guaranteed by fermentation production. At present, Methylovorus sp.MP688 has been widely used in the production of PQQ.
Amino acids and bioactive peptides
Fermentation engineering can produce a variety of amino acids and bioactive peptides that help boost immunity, and antioxidants, improve sleep, and promote muscle growth, among other things.
DL-Cystine: As an important amino acid, cystine has antioxidant and detoxifying effects and is commonly used in skin care products and health supplements.
γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA): GABA is a four-carbon non-protein amino acid that is a major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system with antihypertensive, diuretic, and sedative effects, as well as antidiabetic effects. Lactic acid strains can produce GABA during fermentation.
ACE inhibitory peptides: It is the most studied bioactive peptide, ACE inhibitory peptides are often described during milk fermentation, such as valine-prolyl-proline (VPP) and isoleucyl-prolyl-proline (IPP), which are considered strategies for the treatment of hypertension.
Fatty acids
Fermentation technology enables the production of high-value fatty acids, such as CLA and EPA, which play an important role in promoting brain development and cardiovascular health.
Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA): CLA has received high attention for its beneficial properties and protective effects against a variety of diseases, such as atherosclerosis, obesity, chronic inflammatory diseases, and cancer. Bifidobacteria, Enterococci, and Streptococcus, among others, have been identified as CLA producers.
Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA): Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) is an unsaturated fatty acid that is one of several omega-3 fatty acids commonly used by the body and cannot be synthesized by the body. EPA can be produced by fermentation of microorganisms such as Yeyeria lipolystica. EPA can reduce triglycerides and total cholesterol in the human blood, improve blood circulation, and help reduce inflammation and improve cardiovascular health.
Natural pigments
Fermentation technology enables the production of natural pigments, which not only add color to foods and health products, but also have health benefits such as antioxidants.
β-Carotene: β-Carotene is an orange-colored fat-soluble compound, an important antioxidant that helps maintain healthy skin and eyes. Natural beta-carotene, which is mainly extracted from plants and algae, cannot meet the growing market demand, while the production of beta-carotene by microbial fermentation is a promising alternative due to its high efficiency and environmental friendliness.
