Abstract:The inductively coupled plasma emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) method was used to determine the selenium-enriched amount and selenium conversion rate, and the two strains of Lactobacillus rhamnosus Lr-1 and Lr-2 with strong selenium-enriched ability were explored in the process of continuous passage for 250 generations. The selenium-enriched capacity was investigated to determine its selenium-enriched stability. On this basis, the response surface method was used to optimize the ratio of the selenium-enriched L. rhamnosus lyophilized protectant. The results showed that the morphology of the strain did not change significantly during the passage of 250 generations. The average selenium content of Lr-1 was 429.99 μg/g, and the average selenium conversion rate was 28.32%. The average selenium content of Lr-2 was 398.14 μg/g, the average selenium conversion rate was 25.57%, and the selenium-enriched ability was relatively stable. The best cryoprotectants for the selenium-enriched L. rhamnosus was 7% trehalose, 10% skim milk powder, 5% sodium glutamate, and its lyophilization survival rate was 89.86%, which was better than no cryoprotectants. The lyophilization survival rate was increased by 81.85%. This study provided a theoretical basis for the development of selenium-enriched lactic acid bacteria food.
