  • Patent number: 11946088
    Abstract: The disclosure discloses a method for processing oil crops with rhodotorula, and belongs to the technical field of fermentation. The method includes the step of inoculating the rhodotorula (such as Rhodotorula mucilaginosa, Sporidiobolus salmonicolor and Rhodotorula glutinis) that can produce carotenoid into a fermentation medium that contains oil-rich oil crops for solid state fermentation to obtain oil and oil crop meal rich in carotenoid. The carotenoid as a fermentative metabolite of the rhodotorula has bioactivities of resisting oxidation, preventing vascular sclerosis, enhancing immunity and preventing cancers. Contents of carotenoid in the oil and oil crop meal acquired by the method can be up to 9.071 ?g/g and 8.062 ?g/g correspondingly.

  • Publication number: 20210322497
    Abstract: The disclosure discloses a method of fermenting soybeans or other oil crops by edible and medicinal fungi, and belongs to the technical field of fermentation. The method involves solid-state fermentation by inoculating edible and medicinal fungi such as i Ganoderma lucidum, Tremella aurantialba, Hericium erinaceus and Cordyceps sinensis that can produce bioactive substances such as active polysaccharides, flavonoids and triterpenoids in a fermentation substrate containing oily crops such as extruded soybeans, peanuts and rapeseeds, thereby obtaining oil and oil crop meal rich in the bioactive substances. In the oil obtained by the method, the content of flavonoids is as high as 0.302 mg/g, and the content of triterpenoids is as high as 65.663 mg/g. In the oil crop meal, the content of active polysaccharides is as high as 60.651 mg/g, the content of flavonoids is as high as 1.599 mg/g, and the content of triterpenoids is as high as 14.225 mg/g.
