[Objective] To improve the activity of D-lyxose isomerase under acidic conditions.[Methods] Solvent -accessible surface bioinformatics analysis was performed on surface residues of D-lyxose isomerase derived from Caldanaerobius polysaccharolyticus,and six mutation sites,i.e.,K2D,K2E,K8D,K8E,K18D,and K 18E,were designed.Mutants were constructed and subjected to recombinant inducible heterologous expression in Escherichia coli.The recombinant mutant enzymes were isolated and purified using a nickel affinity chromatography column.In vitro comparative experiments were conducted to evaluate the catalytic conversion of D-fructose to D-mannose by the recombinant mutant enzymes at acidic pH 5.5 and near -neutral pH 6.5.[Results]] The recombinant mutant enzymes K 8D and K 8E showed significantly improved catalytic conversion rates of D-fructose,with the conversion rate reaching 140% under optimal conditions (pH 6.5).At pH 5.5,the conversion rate was 1.26 times higher than that of the wild -type enzyme.[Conclusion] Molecular modification successfully enhanced the catalytic activity of D-lyxose isomerase mutants under acidic conditions.

[Objective] To explore the activation effect of casein (CN) on neutrophils and its interaction with TLR 4 receptors on the neutrophil surface.[Methods] The zebrafish model is adopted to study the activation effect of CN on neutrophil migration,with such methods as 3D model construction,molecular docking,and molecular dynamics simulations employed to study the interaction between TLR 4 receptors and CN subtypes.[Results]] Treatment of 3 dpf zebrafish with 1 mg/mL of CN solution for 2 h can induce neutrophil migration and accumulation inside the body of the zebrafish.All subtypes of CN can form stable complexes with TLR 4.It is speculated that the key amino acids that maintain the stability of the complexes between αS1-CN/αS2-CN and TLR 4 mainly bind via hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions,while the key amino acids that maintain the stability of the complexes between β-CN/κ-CN and TLR 4 mainly bind by hydrogen bonds.[Conclusion] CN can bind to TLR 4 via hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions,and mediate the activation of neutrophils,thus exerting its immunomodulatory effects.

[Objective] To solve the problem that pumpkin seed oil (PSO ) prepared by critical fluid extraction contains more impurities,this paper employs two types of SiO2 to refine the PSO at low temperature and study the influence of them on the quality characteristics of the oil.[Methods] Gas chromatography,high performance liquid chromatography,and ultraviolet spectroscopy are adopted to analyze and compare the quality difference of PSO prepared from two critical fluids and the influence of low -temperature refining treatment of SiO2 on PSO quality characteristics.[Results]] The results show that the fatty acid content and composition of PSO extracted by two critical fluids are similar,and PSO prepared by the subcritical extraction contains more α-tocopherol,γ-tocopherol,total phenols,β-carotene,and higher antioxidant activity.Meanwhile,PSO prepared by the supercritical extraction includes higher squalene and sterol content.After two types of SiO2 refining treatment,the most fatty acid content in PSO remains basically unchanged (P>0.05),but the acid value,peroxide value,and color decrease.Additionally,both trace active ingredients and antioxidant activity in PSO are significantly reduced (P<0.05).Among them,the loss of trace active ingredients in PSO ranges from 8.9% to 24.6%,while the loss rates of OSI,DPPH,and FRAP are between 3.2% and 7.4%,13.2% and 26.5%,and 15.3% and 26.4% respectively.In addition,after PSO is refined with two types of SiO2,the total amount of phospholipids is reduced by more than 85%.The results of principal component analysis and clustering analysis show that the preparation process and low -temperature refining treatment of SiO2 have significant effects on the quality characteristics of PSO.[Conclusion] SiO2 refining treatment can significantly improve the quality characteristics of PSO prepared by critical fluid extraction.

[Objective] To compare the effects of four extraction methods (ancient method,wet method,alkaline method,and cellulase method ) on the yield and physicochemical quality of arrowhead starch.[Methods] With fresh arrowhead taken as raw material,arrowhead starch is extracted by the four methods mentioned above.Then,the physicochemical properties of the starch are analyzed and compared.[Results]] The yield of starch extracted by the wet method is the highest (9.17%),with the best freeze -thaw stability.The content of amylose is the highest in the starch extracted by the cellulase method (70.13%).However,for the starch extracted in this method,the granularity is relatively large and the surface is not smooth enough.The starch extracted by the alkaline method exhibited the highest transparency (10.85%) and particle integrity,but the yield is slightly lower than that of the wet method.The infrared results show no significant change in the functional groups of the starch prepared by the four methods.At 1 047 cm-1/1 022 cm-1,compared with the starch extracted by the ancient method,the peak strength ratio of the starch prepared by the wet method is increased with an increase in structural order while the peak strength ratio of the starch extracted by the alkali method and the cellulase method decreases with a reduced structural order.X-ray diffraction (XRD ) characterization results show that the starch prepared by different methods have obvious absorption peaks at 15.08º,17.11º,17.90º,and 3.14º,which belong to a typical A -type structure.It is indicated that the crystal form of starch did not change in different preparation methods.[Conclusion] The wet extraction is suitable for arrowhead products that require high yield and good freeze -thaw stability,while the alkaline extraction is suitable for arrowhead products that require high transparency.
