[0036] S4: Inspection: Conduct visual and weight checks on the assembled refreshing pills to ensure product quality meets standards.

[0037] S5: Packaging: Package the qualified refreshing pills in sealed bags and perform box packaging.

[0038] In this example, sorbitol is a natural sugar substitute with a cooling taste, about 60% of the sweetness of sucrose, and lower calories. It helps maintain product moisture and is tooth-friendly, reducing the risk of tooth decay.

[0039] Xylitol is also a common sugar substitute with similar sweetness to sucrose but lower calories. It helps oral health, reduces the risk of tooth decay, and has a certain prebiotic effect, promoting intestinal health.

[0040] Gum base is mainly used as an adhesive in refreshing pills, helping various ingredients to bind together tightly to form a stable structure (like chewing gum).

[0041] Maltitol is a sugar substitute processed from maltose, with high sweetness but relatively low calories. It can only be partially digested in the human body, so it has less impact on blood sugar.

[0042] Food flavoring: These ingredients are used to increase the flavor and aroma of refreshing pills, making them more attractive and enjoyable.

[0043] Glycerol is a commonly used humectant and sweetener that can increase product moisture and richness of mouthfeel.

[0044] D-mannitol is a polyol with sweetness, serving as a sweetener and stabilizer.

[0045] Gum arabic is a natural plant gum with good emulsification and stability, serving as a thickening agent and stabilizer.

[0046] Sucralose is an artificially synthesized sweetener with extremely high sweetness but almost no calories.

[0047] Phospholipids are a class of lipid substances containing phosphoric acid, which can be used as emulsifiers and stabilizers.

[0048] Palm wax is a natural waxy substance extracted from palm leaves or fruits, with good gloss and hardness. In refreshing pills, it may be used to increase the gloss and hardness of the outer coating.

[0049] Shellac is a natural resin with good adhesion and film-forming properties. In refreshing pills, it may be used to enhance the stability and durability of the outer coating.

[0050] Both mustard and chili powder are pungent substances that can stimulate the taste buds and nervous system, producing a refreshing effect. The addition of these ingredients to the refreshing pill may be intended to enhance its refreshing effect.

[0051] In this embodiment, the outer shell serves as a chewable object, providing a comfortable feeling, while the inner core stimulates the taste buds and nervous system, producing a refreshing effect. The mustard or chili powder in the inner core forms solid particles with sucrose, which, when placed in the mouth, feel like hard candies, while the outer shell feels like chewing gum, providing a completely different chewing experience. If the inner core has already had a refreshing effect on the person, they can then spit out the inner core, which is in the form of hard particles, making it easier to spit out. This leaves only the outer shell for the person to chew, which serves as an auxiliary refreshing effect. Additionally, compared to functional beverages, the refreshing pill has more natural ingredients, reducing potential adverse effects on the body.
