The invention relates to the field of food processing technology. In particular, the present invention relates to the hard candy products containing biologically active ingredients that synergistic effect to strengthen the immune system, antibacterial, antiviral related to the respiratory tract, including a betel leaf extract/essential oil, plant extracts/essential oils, a mixture of ginger-honey, a mixture of lemon-kumquat-cinnamon; a ginseng extract ingredient, and 4-allylpyrocatechol (APC) ingredient. More specifically, the present invention relates to a ginseng candy composition containing the betel leaf extract.
According to research documents, the betel leaf extract contains about 15 to 40 compounds. Depending on species, or different geographical regions, the betel leaf extract/essential oil includes the following 9 groups of substances: monoterpenes (such as terpinene, pinene, limonene, thujene, camphene, etc.), sesquiterpenes (such as cadinene, elemene, caryophyllene, cubebene, etc.), alcohols (linalol, terpineol, cadinol, etc.), aldehydes (such as decanal, etc.), acids (such as palmitic acid, etc.), oxides (such as Eucalyptol, etc.), phenols (such as eugenol, chavibetol, chavicol, etc.), phenolic ethers (such as methyl eugenol) and esters (eugenol acetate, chavibetol acetate, etc.). The main components of betel leaf extract/essential oil including phenolic compounds and derivatives (eugenol, chavibetol, eugenol acetate, chavibetol acetate, 4-allylpyrocatechol diacetate, 4-allylpyrocatechol) account for a high proportion of about 25%-60% by weight. Accordingly, research show that the betel leaf extract/essential oil have inhibitory activity, killing viruses, bacteria, fungi and protozoa. Besides, the SARS-CoV-2 virus neutralizer activity agent of the betel leaf extract/essential oil was tested at the Pasteur Institute in Ho Chi Minh City, with the following results: (a) Don't cytotoxic to Vero E6 cells; (b) Titers against virus SARS-CoV-2 used in the neutralization reaction is TCID50/0.1 mL: 10 5.5; and (c) Betel leaf extract/essential oil has the ability to neutralize the SARS-CoV-2 virus when exposed/exposed to the virus for 30 minutes. This conclusion is a premise for more complete research and development of bactericidal and antiviral products containing betel leaves extracts/essential oils, contributing to effective prevention of virus SARS-CoV-2 during the Covid-19 pandemic.
On the other hand, ginseng pharmacological efficacy is observed in as early as in the oriental herbal medicine, medical and civil food has been used extensively. Ginseng may be ginseng tea, ginseng powder, ginseng extract, ginseng candy, tablet and ginseng, ginseng extract in the form of a candy and the like have been developed in a variety of products commercially available. However, the existing ginseng health-care food has single effect and is difficult to meet the requirement of diversified health care of people, and the special smell of ginseng is also difficult to accept by partial eaters. Furthermore, the raw ingredients used are usually ginseng root is used more often than other parts such as leaf stem, although extracts from ginseng leaf-stem also contain similar active ingredients with pharmacological functions. Ginseng's leaf-stems are more readily available at a lower cost than its root. Ginseng leaf-stem extract also has anti-fatigue, anti-hyperglycemic, anti-obesity, anti-cancer, anti-oxidant and anti-aging properties. In normal use, ginseng leaf-stem extract is quite safe; adverse effects occur only when it is overdosed or is of poor quality. In addition, ginseng flower extract has have been historically used as both medicine and food to strengthen the body's immune system.

According to the embodiment of the present invention, the sweetener solution is obtained by mixing the water ingredient with the sweetener ingredient combined with stirring 25-50 rpm in 10-15 minutes at a temperature of 75° C.-85° C., and heating to 147° C.; then adding ingredient D at 147° C. combined with stirring 25-50 rpm in 3-10 minutes.
According to the embodiment of the present invention, ingredient D includes the mixture of ginger-honey consisting of the ginger juice ingredient and the honey ingredient; and the mixture of lemon-kumquat-cinnamon consisting of the lemon juice ingredient, the kumquat juice ingredient, and the cinnamon ingredient.
In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the mixture of ginger-honey is obtained by mixing ginger juice ingredient and the honey ingredient combined with stirring 30-40 rpm in five minutes, then fermentation for 30-180 minutes at a temperature of 25° C.-30° C.
In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the mixture of lemon-kumquat-cinnamon is obtained by mixing the lemon juice ingredient with the cinnamon ingredient combined with stirring 30-40 rpm in five minutes, then adding the kumquat juice ingredient combined with stirring 30-40 rpm in five minutes and soaking for 10-15 minute.
In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, ingredient D includes the ginger juice ingredient, and the lemon juice ingredient.
According to the embodiment of the present invention, the antibacterial, antiviral solution is obtained by homogenizing mixing 4-allylpyrocatechol (APC) ingredient, the plant extracts/essential oils ingredients, and the betel leaf extract/essential oil ingredient in a specific order with a defined percentage (%) mentioned in the method 100; in which homogenizing mixing at room temperature.
At step 202, admixing the ginseng extract ingredient with the sweetener solution and the antibacterial, antiviral solution of a predetermined percentage (%) by weight, to create a homogenous solution. Step 202 is performed by a magnetic stirrer. Magnetic stirrer has been known in previous art so the description of the structure and its operating principle will not be described in detail in the invention.
At step 203, if the ginseng extract ingredient, the sweetener solution, and the antibacterial, antiviral solution are not uniformly dissolved in the homogenous solution, step 202 is repeated with a magnetic stirrer until homogenous conditions are reached.
Finally, at step 204, pouring the homogenous solution for shaping, then separating and sorting, making sugar coating and packing; to create a ginseng candy composition containing the betel leaf extract.
According to the embodiment of the present invention, the ginseng candy composition containing the betel leaf extract obtained by method 200 has the characteristic flavor of betel leaf and ginseng, is convenient, and can be used everywhere, even while traveling on trains, planes, and other types of transportation; or are working, studying, playing sports, etc.
According to the embodiment of the present invention, the ginseng candy composition of the present invention uses commonly food material or material with dual purposes of medicine and food, having high safety, and no side effects. At the same time contributes diversified products in the field of nutritional food and health care, suitable for all ages, convenience, large market demand with high application potential. Furthermore, the ginseng candy composition of ginsenoside components of ginseng are useful to facilitate ingestion by the consumer to be capable of contributing to the improvement of health and, with the increase of cultivated ginseng also agricultural development in related industries of ginseng may be performed so that it may be, and contributes to promoting the strengths of medicinal plants in general, and piper betel L. in particular.
