The present disclosure belongs to the technical field of food processing, and particularly relates to a nutritional composition for tonifying spleen and a method for preparing the same.
In modern society, people have heavy dampness due to unhealthy living habits such as disordered eating, environmental pollution, overtime working, and late stay-up, with the body being in a sub-health status, and in serious cases, even high blood pressure, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, malignant tumor and so on are caused. In fact, all of these diseases are related to the spleen. There is an old saying as “it is easy to remove various types of coldness, but it is difficult to remove dampness, because dampness is sticky and turbid, as oil into flour.” Due to the heavy dampness in the body, different populations develop symptoms such as fatigue, poor appetite, unshaped stool, dark yellow skin, fat accumulation, and weakness and edema, severely affecting people's physical and psychological health. The traditional cupping and scraping in the traditional Chinese medical science also can achieve the effects of tonifying the spleen and removing the dampness, but the effects usually are not lasting enough.
Taking coarse cereals has had thousands of years of history in our country, and the functions of refreshing, relieving tension, and prevention and health care can be achieved through dieting. With the increasingly emerging problem of “sub-health”, the food therapy is more and more popular due to its advantages of being healthy and natural, moreover, with regard to problems easily arising, it is of critical significance to develop a health-care food having the efficacies of maintaining good health and tonifying the spleen by taking the cereals as a carrier, combining the precious experience of traditional Chinese health care and accumulation of good aspects of tonifying the spleen of the traditional Chinese medical science, and using technologies and methods of modern sciences, based on the homology between medicine and food.

The present research is intended to create rat damp-heat syndromes by simulating compound factors (external damp-heat environment, high-glucose and high-fat diet, and pathogenic microorganism) such as external environments and dietary habits of human beings in regions of Guangdong, Guangxi, and Hainan, to observe changes of ethology of rats with damp-heat syndromes, and discuss the intervention effect of the efficacy of removing dampness and tonifying spleen of the nutritional composition of the present disclosure to their behaviors.
1. Test Materials:
The nutritional compositions prepared by the raw materials of Examples 1 to 7 and the preparing method of the present disclosure.
2. Grouping
90 SPF rats, half females and half males, with a body weight of 180-220 g, divided into 9 groups according to a random number table, 10 rats in each group, respectively being a control group, a damp-heat syndrome group (damp-heat group), and test groups (Examples 1 to 7).
3. Experiment Method
(1) Control group: fed at 20-28° C. in an environment of relative humidity of 50%-60% with common mixed diet at 8:30 each day.
(2) Damp-heat group: fed with high-glucose and high-fat diet for 10 days, wherein from the 1st day to the 8th day, the rats were placed in a stimulation environmental chamber for two hours at fixed time each day, the temperature in the chamber was 33 (33±2)° C., and the relative humidity was (75±5)%, from the 9th day at 8:30, the rats were administrated by gavage once with Escherichia coli according to 2 ml/200 g of body weight, and 24 hours later, the infection was again enhanced once according to 1 ml/200 g of body weight, then the rats were moved out of the chamber to the natural environment.
(3) Test groups, i.e. 7 example groups: subjected to the same treatment as the damp-heat group, but from the 4th day, after the rats were moved out of the stimulation environmental chamber to the natural environment for 12 hours, the rats of the 7 example groups were respectively administrated by gavage with the nutritional compositions of Examples 1 to 7 according to 2 g/100 g of body weight, once a day for 7 days in total. The behaviors, symptoms, and physical signs of the animals were observed and recorded every day. Results are shown in Table 3.
escherichia coli, the body
It can be seen from Table 3 that the rats in the control group had no significant abnormal manifestation. Most of the rats in the damp-heat group showed to be tired, drowsy and lazy, slow in reacting, with fluffy hair, reduced appetite, increased excretion times, and sticky stool over time, which better simulated the spleen-stomach damp-heat syndrome. The rats in the test group, before being administrated by gavage with the nutritional compositions, also showed reduced activity and dieting, and sticky stool, indicating successful modeling; after being administrated with the nutritional compositions, the animals in various groups had increased activities, increased food intake, and gradually got to normal in defecation, and the body temperature was restored to the normal level. Therefore, the present test indicates that the nutritional compositions of the present disclosure have apparent improvement on the symptoms of rat models having the spleen-stomach damp-heat syndrome.
The foregoing only describes preferred examples of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. For a person skilled in the art, various modifications and variations may be made to the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principle of the present invention, should be covered by the scope of protection of the present invention.
