It has sure health-care functions of improving vision and immunity and building up body. Its advantages include simple preparing process, and high extracting rate up to 20%.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of health food, and in particular relates to a health food containing a traditional Chinese medicine wolfberry extract and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] The traditional Chinese medicine Lycium barbarum has been used as a health food with the same origin for thousands of years. However, most of the ancient and modern applications are directly used as medicine or edible, such as making prescriptions, brewing wine, making tea, and medicated diet. With the development of science and technology, modern scientific research has confirmed that it contains a variety of ingredients such as amino acids, trace elements, polysaccharides from Lycium barbarum, B-carotene, betaine, etc., and through pharmacological verification, it is known that the amino acids and trace elements are required by the human body. The nutrients that must be taken, B-carotene has the function of improving eyesight, while Ly...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] 1. Fresh wolfberry fruit juice is extracted and reprocessed as a beverage and polysaccharide extraction. The disadvantage is that wolfberry fruit is harvested seasonally, and fresh fruit is not easy to preserve, resulting in high production costs, unstable process, and low product yield.

[0004] 2. Lycium barbarum is freeze-dried to remove water, then crushed and directly used as a product or extracted into a product. The disadvantage is that the extraction accuracy is not enough. If it is directly used as a product, both invalid and functional ingredients are contained in it, and the pharmacological effects are not obvious.

[0005] 3. Lycium barbarum dried fruit extraction products, because the extraction process of wolfberry polysaccharides is relatively complicated, and at the same time of extracting polysaccharides, all or part of the other nutrients needed by the human body, such as amino acids, are also removed, and the efficacy cannot be complemented. status
