The present invention relates to a novel fermentation method for various plant materials, which is a technology for obtaining a plant fermented broth by using lactic acid bacteria and sufficiently fermenting plant materials with the plant fermented broth at a low temperature to change plant polyphenols into a low molecular-weight state that can be absorbed.
Humans burn oxygen and nutrients ingested from food to produce an energy source to sustain life. In this process, reactive oxygen species, which is extra oxygen, is also generated, which causes fatal harm to health by attacking and damaging normal cells and causing cell aging.
In cellular respiration, oxygen is essential for generating energy by completely oxidizing glucose to carbon dioxide and water. However, reactive oxygen species (free radicals) such as hydroxyl radicals (HO—) and peroxide anions (O2−) are incidentally generated in the course of operating the electron transport system of cellular respiration. Normal oxygen usually stays in the body for about 100 seconds or more, but reactive oxygen species, which is unstable, exists for one millionth to one billionth of a second and disappears instantaneously. As such, reactive oxygen species is a substance that exists in the blink of an eye, but it is so reactive to attack cell membranes, resulting in loss of cellular functions and damage to DNA. Since reactive oxygen species destroys the signal transduction system in cells or lowers immunity, it causes diabetes, arteriosclerosis, cancers, etc., and accelerates aging by preventing cell regeneration. In particular, age spots appearing on the skin of the elderly are caused by the action of reactive oxygen species. Because reactive oxygen species travels around the body well, it causes diseases in all organs, from blood vessels to joints. When reactive oxygen species stays in the body for a long time, it can cause chronic inflammation and thus become a big problem. Chronic inflammation, traveling all around the body, is known to be the source of all kinds of diseases. Chronic inflammation can increase the incidence of not only gastritis and arthritis but also vascular diseases such as stroke, arteriosclerosis, and myocardial infarction, as well as depression, dementia, and even cancers, and may cause sudden death.
On the other hand, all plants have their own physiologically active substances produced in themselves to protect themselves from the surrounding environment, which are polyphenols that exist in the form of various pigments. Polyphenols are a type of phytochemicals, which are plant chemicals. Phytochemicals are substances that plants make to protect themselves from the external environment (bacteria, pests, microorganisms, etc.) as they grow, and about 10,000 types have been identified so far. It is known that when introduced to human body, phytochemicals enhance human health through their powerful antioxidant actions. Among the numerous phytochemicals, the most powerful antioxidants are polyphenols. Polyphenols, which collectively refer to phenolic compounds in plants, are effective in cell protection, inflammation suppression, anti-aging, immunity improvement, and anticancer actions as they remove reactive oxygen species and chronic inflammation in the body with their antioxidant abilities. Polyphenols are effective on systemic health because of their antioxidant actions, and antioxidation means removing reactive oxygen species.
Polyphenols are formed during photosynthesis by plants, and the actual amount is extremely small compared to carbohydrates and proteins. Polyphenols are maximally formed when photosynthesis is active. At that time, the temperature exceeds 25° C., and at this temperature, polyphenols cannot be decomposed by bad bacteria or their own enzymes and so they can protect themselves. However, unlike carbohydrates and proteins, which are decomposed by digestive enzymes secreted from the salivary glands or gastric acid secreted from the stomach, polyphenols are difficult to digest and absorb. Polyphenol decomposition is closely related to temperature. The human body temperature is 36.5° C., which is too high for polyphenols to be decomposed, and there are no bacteria to decompose them at the temperature. Therefore, no matter how good polyphenols are, unless they are absorbed, they are excreted in feces. Consequently, polyphenols that are not decomposed by intestinal bacteria may not be ingestible.
As a commonly known technology for using plant fermentation, fruit syrup is made by mixing fruit and sugar at a ratio of 1:1, and after aging for a certain period of time, yeast is introduced for alcohol fermentation, water is added, acetic acid bacteria are mixed, and then the resulting mixture is fermented for about one week at a high temperature to complete fermented vinegar.
In addition, according to Patent Publication No. 10-2020-0062450, an antioxidant functional food composition containing fermented dandelion and fermented Angelica keiskei, or a mixture thereof as an active ingredient is proposed, wherein the fermented product is manufactured by a) inoculating Lactobacillus plantarum to dandelion, dandelion meal, Angelica keiskei or Angelica keiskei meal and then culturing at 30˜37° C. for 48 hours; b) drying the culture to a moisture content of 4 to 5%; c) adding distilled water to the dried product and then extracting at 60 to 65° C. for 2 to 3 hours; d) filtering the extract and then concentrating the same; and e) freeze-drying the concentrate.
In addition, according to Registered Patent No. 10-2065584, a method for producing a fermented tomato broth with enhanced total polyphenol, flavonoid and lycopene content and antioxidant and anti-obesity activity is proposed. The method comprises: (1) inoculating 0.8 to 1.2% (v/v) of Lactobacillus plantarum SRCM102223 strain (Accession Number: KFCC11811P) at a concentration of 106 to 108 CFU/ml to tomato juice; and (2) fermenting the tomato juice inoculated with the strain of (1) at 32 to 38° C. for 44 to 52 hours.
As such, conventional technologies related to plant fermentation have limitations in decomposing polyphenols contained in plants to have low molecular weight, because an excessive amount of sugar is contained, the fermentation temperature is high, and the fermentation time is relatively short. As a result, it was difficult to improve the absorption of the fermented products of the plants to the body. In addition, there was a limitation in improving health by using various polyphenols from various plants.
The present invention was conceived under the technical background described above, and a purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a plant fermented product with increased body absorption so as to obtain the functions and effects of various polyphenols contained in various plants.
Another purpose of the present invention is to provide a plant fermented product that is rich in physiologically active substances such as low molecular weight polyphenols and metabolites of lactic acid bacteria.
Another purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a novel plant fermented product that is capable of changing various ingredients of various plant groups into a state that can be absorbed by the human body and that can be mass-produced through a stable process.
Other purposes and technical features of the present invention will be presented in more detail in the following detailed description.
To achieve the purpose described above, the present invention provides a method for manufacturing a plant fermented product using a plant fermented broth, the method comprising: mixing 5 to 30 parts by weight of a first plant material, 100 parts by weight of water, 1 to 10 parts by weight of sugar, and 0.05 to 1 part by weight of lactic acid bacteria, and fermenting the resulting mixture at room temperature in a range of 5 to 25° C. for 30 days to 6 months so that the material becomes acidic at pH 4 or less to obtain a first fermented broth; mixing 5 to 30 parts by weight of a second plant material, which is the same as or different from the first plant material, 100 parts by weight of water, 1 to 10 parts by weight of sugar, and 1 to 10 parts by weight of the first fermented broth, and fermenting the resulting mixture at room temperature in a range of 5 to 25° C. for 30 days to 6 months so that the material has a sugar content in a range of 0.5 to 2 brix and becomes strongly acidic in a pH range of 2 to 4 to obtain a second fermented broth; and mixing a third plant material, which is the same as or different from the first plant material or the second plant material, with the second fermented broth at a weight ratio of 1:0.5 to 1:1.5, and fermenting the resulting mixture at room temperature in a range of 5 to 25° C. for 20 days to 3 months to obtain a plant fermented product.
In the present invention, after obtaining the second fermented broth, a fourth plant material, which is the same as or different from the first plant material or from the second plant material, may be mixed with the second fermented broth to obtain a third fermented broth, and then the third fermented broth may be mixed with the third plant material and fermented to obtain the plant fermented product.
In the present invention, as a plant material used in a process of obtaining the first fermented broth and the second fermented broth, any one selected from fresh plant material, dried plant material, hot water extract, and sugar-containing pickle may be mixed with each fermented broth.
In addition, in the present invention, the first fermented broth or the second fermented broth, in an initial step of long-term fermentation, after being mixed with a plant material, may be subjected to primary rapid fermentation at a high temperature by using a fermentation tank, and then to secondary long-term fermentation at room temperature.
In addition, the present invention provides a plant fermented product using a plant fermented broth prepared according to the method described above.
According to the present invention, various plant materials that can be easily obtained from nature can be used in various states such as unprocessed raw materials, dried materials, powder, and sugar-pickled materials, and main parts of plants such as fruits, stems, leaves, roots, and peels can be easily utilized to obtain plant fermented products that are rich in absorbable polyphenols and various physiologically active substances produced by lactic acid bacteria.
The present invention allows mass production of high-quality plant fermented products from terrestrial and seabed plants through a stable process and is effective in distributing high-quality plant fermented products at low cost because advanced facilities are not required for fermentation process.
The plant fermented product using a plant fermented broth manufactured according to the present invention can be stored for a long time at room temperature, can be drunk as it is or mixed with cold or hot water to be diluted and ingested as tea or beverage, and has excellent absorption rate in the body so that plants that are difficult to ingest in a natural state may also be digested.
In particular, the plant fermented product according to the present invention allows the use of various functionalities that various plants have, including strong antioxidant action, antiseptic action, antibacterial action, anti-inflammatory action, catalytic action, and digestive action, and so can be applied to various fields such as pharmaceutical raw materials, cosmetic raw materials, food additives, plant activators, and disinfectants.
In addition, the plant fermented product using a plant fermented broth according to the present invention is not only excellent in digestion and absorption by the human bodybut also helps plant growth so that it can be used as a substitute for various fertilizers or pesticides and may help to increase the shelf-life of harvested plants. In particular, since it has an excellent capability to remove odorous components and thus provides a powerful deodorizing effect, it can help to remove odors and improve the environment at sites of livestock industry.
The method for manufacturing a plant fermented product using a plant fermented broth according to the present invention is characterized in that the method comprises: mixing 5 to 30 parts by weight of a first plant material, 100 parts by weight of water, 1 to 10 parts by weight of sugar, and 0.05 to 1 part by weight of lactic acid bacteria, and fermenting the resulting mixture at room temperature in a range of 5 to 25° C. for 30 days to 6 months so that the material becomes acidic at pH 4 or less to obtain a first fermented broth; mixing 5 to 30 parts by weight of a second plant material, which is the same as or different from the first plant material, 100 parts by weight of water, 1 to 10 parts by weight of sugar, and 1 to 10 parts by weight of the first fermented broth, and fermenting the resulting mixture at room temperature in a range of 5 to 25° C. for 30 days to 6 months so that the material has a sugar content in a range of 0.5 to 2 brix and becomes strongly acidic in a pH range of 2 to 4 to obtain a second fermented broth; and mixing a third plant material, which is the same as or different from the first plant material or the second plant material, with the second fermented broth at a weight ratio of 1:0.5 to 1:1.5, and fermenting the resulting mixture at room temperature in a range of 5 to 25° C. for 20 days to 3 months to obtain a plant fermented product.
The present invention relates to a method for producing a plant fermented product using a plant fermented broth, and proposes a method for converting plant polyphenols into absorbable states with a low molecular weight through a multi-fermentation process by using a plant fermented broth obtained by fermentation with lactic acid bacteria, and a plant fermented product having low-molecular weight polyphenols manufactured thereby.
The inventors of the present invention repeatedly performed studies to effectively use useful physiologically active components of plants such as polyphenols, and completed the present invention by confirming that physiologically active components can be used more effectively when a fermented product containing low-molecular weight polyphenols and medicinal ingredients is manufactured by sufficiently fermenting plants with lactic acid bacteria at a low temperature for a long time.
Since polyphenols cannot be digested and absorbed by humans, no matter how much polyphenols are ingested, they are ineffective. However, it was confirmed that when plants are sufficiently fermented with lactic acid bacteria for a long time, polyphenol molecules are decomposed and the absorption in the body is improved. In addition, it was also confirmed that during the fermentation process, physiologically active substances such as enzymes, organic acids, and bacteriocins, which are metabolites of lactic acid bacteria, are produced and they are effective in killing pathogens such as viruses. In addition, it was confirmed that fermentation should be performed with lactic acid bacteria at a low temperature for a long time in order to decompose polyphenols and improve the absorption in the body.
Fermenting plants with lactic acid bacteria has an advantage of improving preservation due to the excellent storability. In addition, as polyphenols of plants are decomposed into low-molecular substances during the fermentation process, the absorption rate is increased and various physiologically active components are produced, and so fermentation is more useful for health. Plant fermentation using lactic acid bacteria requires a long time and a technology in the fermentation and aging process. Even when the same method and the same process are used, decay or alcohol fermentation may happen due to the temperature, humidity, light, airborne microorganisms. Mass production of a plant fermented product has not been accomplished yet to convert polyphenols to an absorbable low molecular weight level.
In the present invention, plant materials are fermented with lactic acid bacteria to maintain strong acidity in the range of pH 2 to pH 4, and a plant fermented broth that is in strong fermenting bacteria surviving this process, low-molecular-weight polyphenols, and various physiologically active substances produced by the fermenting bacteria is prepared. Then, the plant fermented broth is fermented with a plant material to manufacture a final plant fermented product.
The present invention consists of a process described below.
First, as a process of preparing a fermented broth, a subject material is prepared as a plant material for preparing a fermented broth from among terrestrial plants or seaweeds, and the fermented broth material is fermented with lactic acid bacteria to prepare a fermented broth. Specifically, 5 to 30 parts by weight of a first plant material, 100 parts by weight of water, 1 to 10 parts by weight of sugar, and 0.05 to 1 part by weight of lactic acid bacteria are mixed, and the resulting mixture is fermented at room temperature in a range of 5 to 25° C. for 30 days to 6 months so that the material becomes acidic at pH 4 or less to obtain a first fermented broth.
A plant materials, water, sugar, which is food for lactic acid bacteria, and lactic acid bacteria are mixed and put into in a fermenter, and fermented sufficiently at a low temperature the pH drops below 4. A first fermented broth, containing strong fermenting bacteria surviving the strong acidic conditions, low-molecular-weight polyphenols, and various organic acids produced by the fermenting bacteria, can be a product as it is, but as it has strong antibacterial, antiviral, and antioxidant activities, it can be used as strong fermenting bacteria in subsequent processes.
The first plant material used in the present invention may be used alone or in combination of several types. Edible plants or non-edible plants can be used as plant materials. As edible plants, not only terrestrial plants such as fruits, vegetables, grains, and medicinal materials, but also seaweeds such as kelp, sea mustard, laver, hijiki, and green laver can be used. In addition, non-edible materials, including not only terrestrial plants such as cypress, ginkgo, bush clover, and paper mulberry as well as seaweeds such as Ecklonia cava and Sargassum horneri, can be used.
As a next step, 5 to 30 parts by weight of a second plant material, which is the same as or different from the first plant material, 100 parts by weight of water, 1 to 10 parts by weight of sugar, and 1 to 10 parts by weight of the first fermented broth are mixed, and the resulting mixture is fermented at room temperature in a range of 5 to 25° C. for 30 days to 6 months so that the material has a sugar content in a range of 0.5 to 2 brix and becomes strongly acidic in a pH range of 2 to 4 to obtain a second fermented broth.
In the present invention, instead of directly fermenting a final plant material with lactic acid bacteria, a fermented broth may firstly be obtained and used to finally ferment a plant material or a multi-fermentation process may be carried out in which a first fermented broth obtained by using lactic acid bacteria is mixed with a plant material, and the resulting mixture is fermented to obtain a second fermented broth, which is then mixed with a final plant material and fermented. The multi-fermentation process may increase the degree of decomposition of polyphenols included in the final plant material to improve the digestion and absorption. In particular, by mixing and fermenting a second fermented broth with a third plant material, miscellaneous germs can be removed by the sterilizing power or disinfecting power of a highly acidic second fermented brothand the fermentation efficiency of a third plant material can be increased. As a result, the fermentation odor of a final plant fermented product may be improved, and the color may be turned clear and transparent.
In addition, in a multi-fermentation process, the type and state of each plant material may be changed to, for example, raw material, dried material, powder, and pre-treated material so that unique and changed components of the plant material can evenly included in the final plant fermented product. Therefore, the medicinal properties of the used plant material but also the physiologically active substances that are beneficial to human body can be retained to be absorbable.
As a next step, a third plant material, which is the same as or different from the first plant material or the second plant material, is mixed with the second fermented broth at a weight ratio of 1:0.5 to 1:1.5, and the resulting mixture is fermented at room temperature in a range of 5 to 25° C. for 20 days to 3 months to obtain a plant fermented product.
With regard to mixing of a plant material and a second fermented broth, to obtain, for example, a paste-like fermented product, a second fermented broth may be mixed in a fermentation vessel such that a plant material is immersed. A plant material may be used alone or in combination with several types. In addition, according to the intended use, water and sugar may be additionally mixed to adjust the concentration of the final plant fermented product.
In the present invention, after obtaining a second fermented broth, a fourth plant material, which is the same or different from a first plant material or a second plant material, may be mixed with the second fermented broth to obtain a third fermented broth, and the third fermented broth may be mixed with the third plant material and fermented to obtain the plant fermented product. Similar to the fermented broth and the second fermented broth described above, the third fermented broth may undergo a fermentation process for fermenting at room temperature in a range of 5 to 25° C. for 30 days to 6 months, or the third fermented broth may be completed simply by mixing. In the latter case, before obtaining a final plant fermented product by mixing with a third plant material, an aging step of storing at room temperature or refrigerating may be performed.
In the present invention, a plant material used in the process of obtaining the first fermented broth and the second fermented broth may be mixed as any one selected from fresh raw material, dried product, powder, hot water extract and sugar-containing pickle.
All plants contain polyphenols in the form of pigments. Representative polyphenols include beta-carotene, lycopene, lutein, zeaxanthin, flavonoid, ellagic acid, quercetin, lutin, curcumin, hesperetin, anthocyanin, isoflavone, lignan, beta-sitosterol, saponin, catechin, indol, sulforaphane, and capsaicin.
These various polyphenols are found in fruits such as mango, banana, tomato, watermelon, guava, persimmon, dried persimmon, yellow peach, grapefruit, kiwi, melon, pomegranate, plum, raspberry, grape, blueberry, orange, lemon, tangerine, citron, lime, calamansi, avocado, noni, pomegranate, and cranberry; vegetables such as carrot, sweet potato, kale, pumpkin, paprika, cabbage, spinach, asparagus, broccoli, corn, saffron, turnip, kale, mustard, collard, red pepper, eggplant, sesame seed, radish, Chinese cabbage, garlic, celery, and parsley; seaweeds such as kelp, green laver, sea mustard, and hijiki; grains such as barley, rice, black rice, buckwheat, millet, sorghum, oats, black bean, black sesame seed, and Chinese matrimony vine; and bulbs (root plants) such as ginseng, bellflower root, peanut, turmeric, ginger, Coconopsis lanceolata, and Pueraria thunbergiana.
Therefore, a plant material used in a plant fermented broth or a plant fermented product of the present invention may include various terrestrial and seabed plants, and may include various plant materials, including plant leaves, stems, fruits, roots, etc., in particular, Dendropanax morbifera Lev. leaves, green tea leaves, mulberry leaves or peels of various vegetables and fruits, nuts, seeds, ginkgo, rice bran, bamboo shoot, and corn cob.
The first fermented broth or the second fermented broth, in an initial step of long-term fermentation, after being mixed with a plant material, may be subjected to primary rapid fermentation at a high temperature by using a fermentation tank, and then to secondary long-term fermentation at room temperature.
The plant fermented product manufactured according to a multi-fermentation process of the present invention is capable of sufficiently fermenting a plant material at a low temperature with the strong power of the plant fermented broth containing strongly acidic water at pH3, fermentation bacteria that have survived harsh conditions, enzymes, various organic acids, and low-molecular weight polyphenols. In this process, a plant material is changed to a plant fermented product that is rich in low-molecular polyphenols and various physiologically active substances produced by the fermentation bacterial.
In addition, the fermented product manufactured by the present invention has further health benefit, as the nutrients and pharmacological components of the fermented broth are added to the nutrients and pharmacological components of plant material and the diversity and amount of the nutrients and pharmacological components are increased with various physiologically active substances produced by lactic acid bacteria. In addition, by varying the combination of a plant material and a fermented broth, various types of fermented products can be easily manufactured. For example, when green tea is fermented with a Dendropanax morbifera Lev. fermented broth, a green tea-Dendropanax morbifera Lev. fermented product is manufactured, and when green tea is fermented with a ginseng fermented broth, a green tea—ginseng fermented product is manufactured. Since the plant fermented product of the present invention has excellent pharmacological activity, it can be used in various fields. For example, a paste-like fermented product manufactured according to the present invention can be used by mixing it with water or by brewing the active ingredients in water, and in some cases, the product can be formulated as a pill. Therefore, a paste-like fermented product has an advantage of being usable in various forms compared to a liquid fermented product.
Hereinafter, preparation of a plant fermented broth according to the present invention and a manufacturing process of a plant fermented product using the same will be presented in detail through specific Examples, and the effect of a manufactured plant fermented product will be additionally described.
