Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to the field of health foods, and particularly to a solid beverage for conditioning allergic constitution and a method for producing the same.


BACKGROUND

In Classification and Determination of Constitution in Traditional Chinese Medicine, the China Association of Chinese Medicine classifies body constitutions of the human body into nine types, i.e., yin-yang harmony constitution, yang deficiency constitution, yin deficiency constitution, qi deficiency constitution, phlegm-dampness constitution, damp-heat constitution, qi stagnation constitution, blood stasis constitution and allergic constitution, most of which are sub-healthy states.


Allergic constitution is a special body constitution resulting from the factors such as congenital deficiencies and endowment heredity, including congenital or hereditary physiological defects, congenital or hereditary diseases, allergic reactions, primary immunodeficiency and the like. The general characteristic of allergic constitution is congenital disorder, mainly characterized by physiological defects, allergic reactions and the like. People with allergic constitution generally have no other defects, but for people with abnormal native endowment, some may have malformations, and some may have physiological defects. The common manifestations are: people with allergic constitution usually suffer from asthma, wheal, throat itching, nasal obstruction, sneezing, etc.; people suffering from genetic diseases have the characteristics of vertical transmission, innateness, and being familial; and people with fetal-borne diseases have the characteristics of the mother's body affecting growth and development of fetus individuals and suffer from relevant diseases. People with allergic constitution have different psychological characteristics from each other, dependent on intrinsic nature. People with allergic constitution are susceptible to asthma, urticaria, pollinosis and drug allergies. People with allergic constitution are poor in adaptability to the external environment, for example, people with allergic constitution are poor in adaptability to the easy-to-sensitize season and are prone to chronic complaint.


Such sub-healthy constitution as allergic constitution belongs to chronic diseases and has a relatively long disease course, and requires a long-term medication and gradual conditioning, in order to achieve the effects of consolidating the vital essence and strengthening the origin, and strengthening the body resistance to eliminate pathogenic factors. The dosage forms commonly used in the traditional Chinese medicine are decoctions and Chinese patent medicine such as pills and the like. Decoctions usually have relatively good efficacy, but the administration thereof is complicated, and the taste thereof is poor, if the decoctions need to be administered for a long time, it is difficult for a patient to keep taking the decoctions. Moreover, the efficacy of the pills is relatively poor.


Food is the best product for human beings to prevent diseases and keep healthy. The theory that “medicine and food share a common origin” is one of the most valuable contributions made by the original Chinese medicine to human beings. It is described in the Rites of Zhou•Offices of the Heaven•Medicine that “diseases are treated with the five flavors, the five grains and the five medicines”, which demonstrates the physical health-care functions of food. The method of regulating body functions using the characteristics of food so as to obtain health or prevent or treat diseases is called dietary therapy. However, “therapy” is inferior to “nourishing”, and food nourishing is an approach to increase resistance against diseases and enhance immunity by eating tonic food according to food nutrition in combination with the body conditions, so as to strengthen the body and prolong the life. It is described in Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold that “a physician should first know the cause of a disease to know why the disease is developed and treat the disease with food materials. Only when food materials are unable to treat the disease, can drugs be used.” Thus, dietary therapy was not only the basic therapeutic approach of the physicians at that time, but also an important criterion for determining whether a physician was a great physician.


It is mentioned in the Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor that “the superior physician prevents illness, the mediocre physician attends to impending illness, and the inferior physician treats actual illness”, wherein the phrase “prevent illness” means taking corresponding measures to prevent the occurrence and development of diseases. The body constitution determines the health of people and determines the susceptibility to diseases. Faced with the situations that there are various diseases in modern society, the age of onset becomes lower and lower and there are more and more sub-healthy people, dietary therapy gets more and more popular with the consumers due to its advantages of being healthy and natural, and with respect to the diseases that are easy to develop, it is of great significance to develop a food product that has the functions of life nourishing and health protection, has a good taste and conditions the allergic constitution, by using modern scientific technologies and methods and the theory that “medicine and food share a common origin”, referring to the precious Chinese traditional life nourishing experience in combination with good accumulation of the traditional Chinese medicine on the aspect of conditioning allergic constitution.

Allergic constitution such as allergies is mainly inherited from parents, is incurred by epidemic pathogenic factor, has the manifestations of erythra, allergic rhinitis, or infertility. According to the constitution characteristics thereof, it is caused by qi-deficiency induced superficies unconsolidation, blood heat's facilitating onset of diseases caused by pathogenic wind, and inability of genetic endowment to endure epidemic pathogenic factor. The treatment therefor takes the general principle of invigorating qi for consolidating superficies, cooling blood and calming endogenous wind, and conditioning body. If superficial qi is consolidated, the body can resist pathogenic factors, and if blood and qi function normally, pathogenic wind is calmed. In this prescription, smoked plum astringes vital essence, lilium brownii nourishes yin and clears heat, perilla relieves epigastric distention and consolidates superficies, and they jointly serve the function of invigorating qi for consolidating superficies. Purslane has the effect of resisting allergies; dahurian angelica frees the nasal orifices; semen hoveniae can relieve alcoholism and resist allergies; and coix seed invigorates spleen to remove dampness, and can enhance the body immunity. In the present invention, smoked plum, lilium brownii and perilla are dominant (monarch) components, purslane, dahurian angelica and semen hoveniae are subordinate (ministerial) components, and coix seed is an adjuvant (envoy) component. In addition, dextrin, maltodextrin and aspartame, on the one hand, can give play to medicinal effect and balance the nutritional ingredients, and on the other hand, can be used for flavoring.


As shown in FIG. 1, the method for producing a solid beverage for conditioning allergic constitution comprises the steps of:


(1) preparation of raw materials: subjecting smoked plum, perilla, lilium brownii, purslane, coix seed, semen hoveniae and dahurian angelica to impurity removal, cleansing, cutting and pulverization, and then mixing them for later use, wherein the proportion of each raw material provided in the present invention is used herein;


(2) decoction: decocting the mixture resulting from step (1) with water twice to obtain a traditional Chinese medicine liquid;


(3) concentration: pumping the traditional Chinese medicine liquid prepared in step (2) into an inspissator through a pipe to concentrate the same into thick paste;


(4) wet granulation: mixing and stirring dextrin, maltodextrin, soluble starch and aspartame to obtain a mixture adjuvant, adding the thick paste prepared in step (3) to the mixture adjuvant, and stirring the same for granulation; and


(5) packaging: subjecting the product resulting from the wet granulation to the packaging step to obtain a finished product.


The purpose of step (1) is to remove fat from the seed medicinal materials, pulverize the resultant seed medicinal materials and pass them through a 2-mesh sieve; the rhizomatic medicinal materials contain cellulose, and are rich in starch, and cutting or pulverization extraction can effectively retain the target ingredients thereof, and prevent polysaccharide swelling; and cleansing can remove impurities and soil, and effectively reduce the residuals of pollutants such as heavy metals and pesticides.


The two-time decoction process in step (2) is carried out as follows: the first decoction: adding water that is 10 times the weight of the mixture prepared in step (1), heating and boiling the resultant mixture, and pumping the liquid medicine into a stainless-steel liquid medicine storage tank through a pipeline filter immediately after boiling for 1.5 hours (starting from boiling); and


the second decoction: adding water that is 8 times the weight of the mixture prepared in step (1), heating and boiling the resultant mixture, and pumping the liquid medicine into the stainless-steel liquid medicine storage tank through the pipeline filter immediately after boiling for 1.5 hours (starting from boiling) to evenly mix the liquid medicine with the liquid medicine obtained from the first decoction.


The temperature for the concentration in step (3) is 70-80° C., and the relative density of the prepared thick paste is 1.2-1.5 at the temperature of 50° C. The low-temperature evaporation can effectively reduce the decomposition of thermosensitive components, such as citric acid, malic acid, oxalic acid and other organic acids, and leads to high concentration efficiency without discharge of solvent steam, which facilitates evaporation, and is pollution-free to the environment, as it is carried out in an airtight space.


As shown in FIG. 2, the wet granulation in step (4) comprises the steps of:


(4.1) dry mixing: putting dextrin, maltodextrin, soluble starch and aspartame into an efficient mixer-granulator for mixing and stirring for 15 minutes to obtain a mixture adjuvant, wherein the proportion of each raw material provided in the present invention is used herein;


(4.2) primary sieving: adding batchwise the thick paste extracted from step (3) to the mixture adjuvant for mixing, stirring and granulation at the cutting speed I and the stirring speed I to obtain a soft material which is then subjected to primary sieving, wherein stirring granulation can preferably prevent separation of the components, and since segregation phenomenon can easily occur due to the existence of differences in the particle size and density of the mixed extract components, granulation not only can effectively solve this problem, but also can remarkably improve the solubility;


(4.3) drying: putting the sieved particles prepared from step (4.2) into a boiling dryer for drying, wherein fluidized drying can effectively control the particle size distribution and control the product moisture; and


(4.4) secondary sieving: carrying out secondary sieving by using a wig-wag machine, wherein by means of the secondary sieving, it is possible to control the particle distribution, bulk density and compactness.


In the above steps, the sieve for the primary sieving is a 12-mesh sieve, and the sieve for the secondary sieving is a 10-mesh sieve.


In the drying process in the above step (4.3), the temperature of the materials is controlled to be 70-80° C., and the moisture of the final materials is controlled to be 5% or less. In this step, pot turning can be frequently carried out according to the drying condition of the materials, so that the final material moisture meets the requirements.


On the basis of the implementation modes above, after the secondary sieving, the method further comprises a particle selecting step to select particles of 10-60 meshes. By means of particle selection, it is possible to improve the appearance and uniformity of the product particles. In practice, after the completion of the particle selection, it is feasible to make a record and tag the product to indicate the product name, the lot number, the specification, the net weight, the production date, the post name and the responsible person, fill in the equipment receipt, and transfer the product into an intermediate station.
