AI Technical Summary
Traditional sesame paste has a single function. Adding medicinal and edible ingredients can easily lead to problems such as powder agglomeration, oil separation and stratification, low-temperature sanding, and oil rancidity. Conventional drying processes can easily damage the heat-sensitive functional components of the raw materials, resulting in poor product quality stability and food labeling compliance risks.
The formula and process of sesame paste are optimized by using vacuum freeze-drying, ultra-fine grinding, pre-wetting, low-temperature baking, and high-pressure homogenization, combined with medicinal and edible compound powder, prebiotic oligosaccharides and compound antioxidants, to ensure product quality stability and antioxidant effect.
This technology achieves the multi-functionality of sesame paste, avoids powder agglomeration and oil separation, preserves heat-sensitive components, enhances the product's antioxidant effect and viscosity stability, and meets food safety regulations.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of food processing technology, specifically relating to a functional sesame paste that is both food and medicine and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional sesame paste has limited functionality, and the addition of medicinal and edible ingredients easily leads to problems such as powder agglomeration, oil separation, low-temperature crystallization, and oil rancidity. Conventional drying processes can easily damage the heat-sensitive functional components of raw materials, and single antioxidants have limited antioxidant effects. The lack of core process parameters results in poor product quality stability, and some efficacy claims pose risks to food labeling compliance. This invention addresses the above-mentioned shortcomings of existing technologies by optimizing the overall formula and process, overcoming common technical pain points in the industry. Summary of the Invention 3.1 Raw material composition (parts by weight)
[0003] Sesame seeds: 80-95 parts; Medicinal and edible compound powder: 3-10 parts; Edible vegetable oil: 2-8 parts, preferably sesame oil, but one or more of food-grade edible vegetable oils such as sunflower seed oil and peanut oil can also be used; Monoglycerides or phospholipids: 0.1–0.5 parts; Prebiotic oligosaccharides: 0.5–2 parts; Compound antioxidant: 0.01-0.2 parts.
[0004] The compound powder containing both medicinal and edible ingredients is selected from compound powders containing yam, poria, and gorgon fruit; compound powders containing wolfberry, red date, and longan; compound powders containing hawthorn, malt, and tangerine peel; and compound powders containing lily, lotus seed, and chrysanthemum. Among them, the mass ratio of yam, poria, and gorgon fruit in the compound powder containing yam, poria, and gorgon fruit is (1-3):(1-2):1; the mass ratio of wolfberry, red date, and longan in the compound powder containing wolfberry, red date, and longan is (2-4):(2-3):1; the mass ratio of hawthorn, malt, and tangerine peel in the compound powder containing hawthorn is (2-3):(1-2):1; and the mass ratio of lily, lotus seed, and chrysanthemum in the compound powder containing lily is (1-2):(1-2):1.
[0005] Prebiotic oligosaccharides are selected from at least one of fructooligosaccharides, isomaltooligosaccharides, and xylooligosaccharides.
[0006] The compound antioxidant is a mixture of rosemary extract and vitamin E in a mass ratio of 1:1 to 1:3. 3.2 Key Processes and Product Parameters
[0007] Raw materials that are both medicinal and edible are vacuum freeze-dried to a moisture content of ≤5% and then ultra-finely pulverized to 100-300 mesh. The pre-wetting oil-to-powder mass ratio is 1:3 to 1:5, the rotation speed is 500 to 800 r / min, and the time is 5 to 10 min; Sesame seeds are roasted at a low temperature of 60–90℃ for 20–40 minutes, with a moisture content of ≤3%. High pressure homogenization: 30-50 MPa, temperature: 40-50℃; Apparent viscosity at 25℃ is 3500~4500mPa·s, particle size D90≤25μm, and centrifugal oil separation rate ≤1.5%.

Detailed Implementation Test method description
[0009] The detection methods for all indicators involved in the embodiments of this invention are performed according to the following standards: Apparent viscosity: NDJ-1 rotational viscometer was used in a constant temperature water bath at 25±0.5℃, with rotor No. 4 and a rotation speed of 10 r / min. Particle size distribution: The particle size distribution was determined using a laser particle size analyzer (Mastersizer 3000) with anhydrous ethanol as the dispersion medium, and the results are expressed as D90 particle size. Oil separation rate by centrifugation: Accurately weigh 10.0g of sesame paste sample into a centrifuge tube, centrifuge at 4000r / min for 30min under constant temperature of 25℃, carefully aspirate the upper oil layer and weigh it. Oil separation rate = (weight of separated oil / total weight of sample) × 100%; Polysaccharide retention rate: determined by the phenol-sulfuric acid method. Example 1
[0010] 90 portions of black sesame seeds 5 parts of compound powder of yam, poria, and euryale seed 3 parts sesame oil Monoglyceride 0.2 parts 1 part of fructooligosaccharides Rosemary extract: Vitamin E = 1:1, combined with 0.05 parts antioxidant. Process flow: 101→102 (75℃ / 30min)→103→104→105 (200 mesh)→201 (oil-to-powder ratio 1:4, 600r / min, 8min)→202→203→301 (35MPa, 45℃ homogenization)→302→303.
[0011] Product specifications: viscosity 3800 mPa·s, D90=22μm, oil separation rate 1.2%, no sand return, no stratification, polysaccharide retention rate ≥90%. Example 2
[0012] 88 portions of white sesame seeds 6 parts of compound powder of goji berries, red dates and longan 4 parts sunflower seed oil 0.3 parts phospholipids 1 part isomaltooligosaccharide Rosemary extract: Vitamin E = 1:2, combined with 0.05 parts antioxidant. The process is the same as in Example 1. Comparative Example 1 (Ordinary hot air drying)
[0013] 104 was changed to hot air drying, the rest was the same as in Example 1. Result: The heat-sensitive components were greatly lost, and the powder absorbed moisture and clumped. Comparative Example 2 (without prewetting)
[0014] Step 201 was omitted, and mixing proceeded directly. Result: Powder agglomeration was significant, and the oil separation rate was ≥6.8%. Comparative Example 3 (without anti-crystallization agent)
[0015] No monoglycerides / phospholipids were added; otherwise, the procedure was the same as in Example 1. Result: Sugar crystallization occurred at low temperature. Compliance Statement
[0016] The functional descriptions involved in this invention are based on the traditional understanding of food and medicine homology. The products are produced and sold as ordinary food, strictly complying with the "Food Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" and relevant regulations on food labeling management, and do not make any claims about health functions or disease prevention.
