[0033] 1. A black coffee composition for promoting defecation The specific formulas of the black coffee compositions for promoting defecation provided in the embodiments and comparative examples of the present invention are shown in Table 1.

[0034] Table 1

[0035] Preparation of black coffee composition: Mix the raw materials according to the formula shown in Table 1 to obtain a black coffee composition.

[0036] 2. Comparison of flavor indicators The flavor indices of the black coffee compositions of Examples 1 to 4 and Comparative Examples 1 to 6 were compared. All coffee composition samples (Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-6) were prepared into beverages according to a standard brewing procedure (powder to water ratio 1 g: 64 ml).

[0037] Evaluation environment: In a quiet, odor-free, and appropriately lit evaluation room.

[0038] Sweet and sour balance test method: a 10-person sensory evaluation panel was formed to score on a 10-point scale (1 point: severely unbalanced; 10 points: perfectly balanced) The results are shown in Table 1. The scores of Examples 1 to 4 range from 8.6 to 9.3, with Example 4 being the best. The scores of Comparative Examples 1 to 6 range from 4.8 to 7.3.

[0039] Aroma complexity test method: The above 10 sensory evaluation panel will score (1 point: strong artificial flavor; 10 points: natural fruity aroma) The results are shown in Table 1. Examples 1-4 scored 8.6-9.0 points, while Comparative Examples 1-6 scored 5.2-7.4 points. Examples 1-4 effectively controlled the aroma, creating a three-stage aroma profile, from natural fruity aroma to roasted aroma and finally sweet aftertaste, in combination with the nutty tones of coffee powder #1. Example 4 achieved the best results, maintaining the aroma while avoiding the aroma.

[0040] Taste Compatibility Test Method: Flavor Compatibility, sensory panel evaluates the degree of integration between the fruit flavor and the coffee itself (1 point: distinct sense of separation; 10 points: seamless integration) The results are shown in Table 1. Example 4 had the highest compatibility score, at 9.1. The combination of prebiotics and other fruit powders enhances the fruity and coffee flavors. Complete dissolution of the black coffee composition was achieved by controlling the amount of prebiotics to 0.1 to 0.3 parts by weight, with 0.1 parts by weight being the most effective.

[0042] 3. Sensory blind test 1. Method Sample size: 30 coffee lovers (aged 22-45, drinking black coffee ≥3 times a week) Evaluation process: Each subject tastes 10 groups of samples in turn (3 minutes between each taste, rinsing mouth with water), selects the preferred sample, and fills in an open-ended description of the advantages of the preferred sample.

[0043] Data analysis: Calculate the preference rate of each sample.

[0044] 2. Samples: The black coffee compositions of Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-6 were used as samples. A total of 10 groups of samples were brewed according to a unified standard (powder:water ratio 1g:64ml).

[0045] 3. Results As shown in Table 2, Examples 1-4 all had superior sensory preferences to the comparative examples. Example 4 had the best sensory preference, primarily characterized by its "natural fruit-coffee fusion" and "clean finish." This was followed by Example 2. Therefore, the black coffee compositions of Examples 4, Comparative Examples 5, and 6 were selected for the defecation test.

[0046] Table 2

[0047] 4. Promote defecation test 1. Objective: To verify the effect of this coffee beverage on promoting defecation.

[0048] 2. Subjects: 30 healthy volunteers aged 22 to 40 years with normal bowel habits (i.e., no significant abnormalities in bowel frequency or smoothness) were randomly divided into three groups of 10 volunteers each.

[0049] 3. Test Materials: Apple and prune black coffee beverages containing the black coffee compositions of Example 4, Comparative Example 4, and Comparative Example 6, respectively, with the black coffee composition to water ratio being 1g:64ml (hereinafter referred to as the experimental coffee beverages); and a standard coffee beverage containing 100% coffee powder #1 (serving as the control beverage).

[0050] 4. Experimental methods: (1) The experimental period is two weeks, the first week is the control period, and the second week is the experimental period.

[0051] (2) Control period: Volunteers drank ordinary coffee beverages every day in the first week. The amount of coffee consumed was based on their daily habits, but it was required to remain relatively stable every day. They recorded their daily bowel movements, including the number of bowel movements, bowel movement smoothness, and changes in abdominal distension.

[0052] (3) Experimental Period: During the second week, volunteers drank the experimental coffee beverage daily, the amount consumed being consistent with the regular coffee beverage during the first week, and their daily bowel movements were also recorded. (The first group of volunteers drank the experimental coffee beverage of Example 4, the second group of volunteers drank the experimental coffee beverage of Comparative Example 4, and the third group of volunteers drank the experimental coffee beverage of Comparative Example 6) During the experiment, volunteers maintained normal eating and living habits and did not deliberately change them to avoid other factors having a significant impact on bowel movements.

[0053] 6.5 Experimental Results (1) Frequency of bowel movements: During the control period, the volunteers had an average of 1.2 bowel movements per day; During the experimental period: The average number of bowel movements per day for the first group of volunteers increased to 1.6, of which 6 volunteers had a significant increase in bowel movement, 2 volunteers had the same frequency, and 2 volunteers had a slight increase in bowel movement (one of the volunteers had a significant change in diet due to traveling during the experiment, and his data was disturbed to a certain extent); The average number of bowel movements per day for the second group of volunteers increased to 1.4, of which 3 volunteers had a significant increase in bowel movement; The average number of bowel movements per day for the third group of volunteers was 1.3, and only 1 volunteer had a significant increase in bowel movement frequency.

[0054] (2) Defecation smoothness: The smoothness is scored on a scale of 1-10, with 6 points or more being smooth and 8 points or more being very smooth. In the control period, 60% of the volunteers rated their defecation smoothness as "very smooth" or "smooth". In the experimental period, this proportion increased to 80% in the first group of volunteers, with 5 volunteers reporting that after drinking the experimental coffee beverage, they felt more relaxed during defecation, their defecation time was shortened, and their stool characteristics were closer to the ideal state. The number of times they rated their defecation smoothness as "very smooth" increased. This proportion increased to 70% in the second group of volunteers, with 2 volunteers reporting a significant improvement in their defecation smoothness. This proportion was 65% in the third group of volunteers, with 1 volunteer reporting some improvement.

[0055] A two-week experimental observation showed that the coffee beverage had a positive effect on promoting bowel movements, increasing bowel movement frequency and improving bowel movement smoothness. All three experimental beverage groups performed better than standard beverages, with Example 4 leading the pack. This suggests that the coffee beverage formula has the ability to promote bowel movements and possesses considerable practical value and market potential.
