ADLAY (Coix lacryma-jobi) JELLY ENRICHED WITH FRUIT FLAVORING AND THE PROCESS OF MAKING THEREOF

Abstract

The present invention relates to a nutritious, functional food product—Adlay (Coix lacryma-jobi) jelly enriched with fruit flavoring—and the process for its preparation. This innovative jelly combines the health benefits of Adlay, a nutrientdense seed known for its anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, hypoglycemic, and immuneregulatory properties, with the appealing taste of natural or artificial fruit flavors. The jelly is designed to be a convenient, portable, and enjoyable snack that supports overall wellness while providing energy and sustaining metabolic health. The production process involves the careful combination of Adlay flour or other forms of Coix lacrymajobi with water, sweeteners (e.g., coconut sugar), fruit flavoring, and a gelling agent (e.g., gelatin), resulting in a gel-like consistency. The mixture is heated, stirred, and then cooled to form the jelly, which can be packaged for refrigeration or freezing. This product addresses the increasing consumer demand for health-oriented, tasty, and accessible snacks, offering a healthier alternative to traditional unhealthy options.
