Beverage dissolved with phytosterol and production method thereof

Abstract

The invention relates to beverage dissolved with phytosterol. The beverage per 100ml contains 10-120mg of phytosterol. The beverage is prepared by the steps of production of a semi-finished beverage product, phytosterol dissolving and production of a finished product. The phytosterol is insoluble in water and is difficultly dissolved in water, and the content of phytosterol in common beverage is extremely low; and at present, patients suffered from cardia-cerebrovascular diseases, angiosclerosis, cholelithiasis and tumor due to foods with high fat and cholesterol contents can be daily on the increase at present; Chinese medical association notes that patients with abnormal blood lipid need eat 2g of phytosterol or 3.4g of phytosterol ester everyday, phytosterol can reduce cholesterol, repair tissues and inhibit tumors and is a new resource food or a health food supplement recognized by China, Europe, America, Japan and the like; phytosterol is dissolved in alcohol, is combined with beverage, and has synergistic interaction with a function of promoting blood circulation by removing blood stasis; the beverage can reduce cholesterol, is antivirus, oxidation-resistant and anti-aging, can diminish inflammation, achieves immune adjustment and the beautifying effect and inhibits blood platelet aggregation when being drunk in moderation; the beverage is beneficial to health of patients suffered from diseases such as cardia-cerebrovascular disease, gall stone, tumor and prostate disease when being drunk moderately.

Description

technical field [0001] A beverage fused with phytosterol and a production method thereof belong to the technical field of food and food production. Background technique [0002] Phytosterols are trace active ingredients in plants, which play a role in stabilizing cell membranes in cells and widely exist in roots, stems, leaves, fruits and seeds of plants. There are three types of phytosterols, 4-non-methyl sterols, 4-methyl sterols, and 4,4’-dimethyl sterols. Commonly used β-sitosterol, stigmasterol, campesterol, brassicasterol, avenasterol and ergosterol belong to 4-methyl-free sterols. Sterols in plants exist in four forms: free state, sterol esters (fatty acid esters and phenolic esters), steryl glycosides, and acylated sterol glycosides. Free sterols and sterol esters are soluble in non-polar solvents such as n-hexane, while steryl glycosides and acylated steryl glycosides require polar modifiers for solubility. Most of the phytosterols are solid, insoluble in water,...

Problems solved by technology

[0008] Many phytosterol food production technologies have been disclosed now, most of which have applied for patents, but these products have their limitations

Phytosterols in health care products or health foods are commercially available in capsules, tablets, and powders, but they still have not broken through the weakness of low intestinal absorption and utilization. In addition, the high price and the appearance of drugs make people stay away from them

Most of the published phytosterol beverages are produced with patented technology and nano-scale crystals, which are basically emulsified products that imitate each other, and have not solved the problem of low absorption and utilization of crystalline phytosterols; the production process is complicated, the quality is unstable, and some emulsifiers or additives Due to food safety restrictions, coupled with high production costs and low phytosterol content, the market prospect is uncertain
