Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a spleen-strengthening and lung-benefiting lollipop, specifically providing a spleen-strengthening and lung-benefiting lollipop and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] With the fast pace of modern life, irregular eating habits and disordered sleep patterns are common, easily leading to sub-health conditions such as weak spleen and stomach function and lung dryness and yin deficiency, which are particularly evident in children, the elderly, and those with weak constitutions. To improve these conditions, traditional Chinese medicine often uses herbal pastes (gaofang) for conditioning. Herbal pastes have advantages such as long-lasting nourishing effects and mild medicinal properties, and can improve bodily functions to a certain extent. However, existing herbal pastes are mostly in the form of decoctions or pastes, which usually have relatively cumbersome methods of administration, a heavy taste, and are inconvenient to carry and store, thus limiting their frequency of use and application scenarios in daily life.

[0003] On the other hand, while the market offers a wide variety of conventional snack foods, most primarily focus on taste and lack functional designs that address spleen and stomach health or nourish lung yin. Furthermore, long-term consumption of some products may increase the body's metabolic burden. Currently, there is a lack of technical solutions that combine traditional Chinese medicine formulas with spleen-strengthening and lung-nourishing effects with the form of snack foods. In particular, there are no publicly reported products that systematically optimize palatability and portability for children and young consumers. Therefore, developing a spleen-strengthening and lung-nourishing food that combines good taste, portability, and nutritional benefits for daily consumption has significant application value and market demand.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need in this field for a spleen-strengthening and lung-benefiting lollipop and its preparation method to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0030] S8. The mixed paste is cooled and molded into lollipops in a mold. Specifically, the mold is a sterilized and cooled food-grade lollipop mold. A sterile lollipop stick is inserted into the mixed paste in the mold. Then, the lollipops are removed from the mold and individually packaged in food-grade transparent packaging film to obtain the finished product.

[0031] The finished lollipops are brown to dark brown in color, with a uniform texture, no layering or air bubbles, and a sweet and slightly sour taste, combining the aroma of Chinese medicine with the sweetness of rock sugar, without any obvious bitterness. They have the effects of strengthening the spleen and lungs, nourishing yin and moisturizing dryness, regulating qi and stomach, and are suitable for conditioning symptoms such as loss of appetite, fatigue, dry cough and dry throat caused by spleen and stomach weakness and lung dryness and yin deficiency. They are convenient to carry, easy to eat and palatable, which can improve the problem of inconvenience in taking traditional herbal pastes. They are suitable for daily consumption by people of all ages, especially children, the elderly and those with weak constitutions.

[0032] The beneficial effects of this lollipop are as follows: Based on traditional Chinese medicine theory, it scientifically combines medicinal and edible ingredients to achieve a synergistic effect of strengthening the spleen and benefiting the lungs, thus realizing the overall conditioning effect of "regulating the spleen and stomach to nourish the lungs and nourishing lung yin to assist the spleen." In terms of preparation technology, it adopts a two-stage decoction combined with depressurization concentration to improve the extraction rate of effective ingredients while reducing the damage of heat-sensitive components caused by high temperatures. It also improves the solubility and bioavailability of donkey-hide gelatin by melting it with rice wine. In terms of dosage form design, it combines concentrated herbal paste with the form of a lollipop to improve the inconvenience of taking traditional herbal pastes, making the product more portable and hygienic to consume, thereby expanding the applicable population and application scenarios. At the same time, it uses ingredients such as coral sugar, dried plum, and jujube to harmonize the bitterness of traditional Chinese medicine, and can add appropriate excipients as needed to further improve the taste and meet the palatability needs of different groups.
