DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0053] For the convenience of understanding the present invention, the present invention will be described in more detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments. All technical and scientific terms used in this specification are identical with the meanings generally understood by those skilled in the art belonging to the technical field of the present invention. The terms used in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not used to limit the present invention. The term "and / or" used in this specification includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

[0054] The embodiment of the present invention provides a method for preparing an instant bird's nest food granule, comprising the following steps:

[0055] Step S1, processing bird's nest, sweet buckwheat, bitter buckwheat, almond, walnut, wolfberry and red dates to make the bird's nest, sweet buckwheat, bitter buckwheat, almond, walnut, wolfberry and red dates into powder for later use.

[0056] Specifically, the steps for processing the bird's nest include:

[0057] Step A1, select high-quality bird's nest, remove impurities and miscellaneous hair, and soak and soften the bird's nest with pure water. Among them, the soaking time should be properly controlled to ensure that the bird's nest is fully softened and not over-soaked to cause nutrient loss. The time for soaking the bird's nest with pure water varies depending on factors such as the type of bird's nest. In this embodiment, the bird's nest uses white bird's nest, and the soaking time is controlled at 4-6 hours, and the water is changed every 2-3 hours to ensure the water quality is clean, so that the loss of nutrients can be minimized while fully softening the bird's nest. White bird's nest is the first nest built by the swiftlet. Since the swiftlet builds its nest for the first time, it is almost entirely built with saliva, with few impurities, white color, complete shape, and good appearance. Its texture is relatively delicate, and it tastes smooth and tender after stewing, and has high nutritional value. Of course, in other embodiments, blood bird's nest can also be used. Blood bird's nest has a higher content of minerals and other ingredients, and its texture is harder, and the soaking time needs to be controlled at 8-12 hours.

[0058] Step A2: Wash the soaked and softened bird's nest to further remove residual impurities.

[0059] Step A3, after the cleaned bird's nest is freeze-dried at low temperature and vacuum, it is crushed using professional crushing equipment. Among them, the cleaned bird's nest is freeze-dried at low temperature and vacuum, which can avoid the destruction of nutrients and active substances in the raw materials, and the moisture content of the dried bird's nest is controlled below 5%. The professional crushing equipment uses a universal crusher, and when crushing the bird's nest, low-speed crushing is adopted, and the equipment speed is controlled at 1000-2000r / min to avoid excessive crushing and friction heat caused by high speed; the processing temperature is controlled between 30-40℃, because the main component of the bird's nest is protein, and the temperature is too high, the protein is easy to denature, thereby destroying the nutrients; the particle size of the bird's nest after crushing is controlled between 80-120 mesh, which is not only convenient for subsequent mixing, but also ensures that the bird's nest can effectively utilize its nutrients, and the nutrients will not be lost or deteriorated during the processing due to the fine particles.

[0060] Specifically, the steps of processing sweet buckwheat and bitter buckwheat include:

[0061] Step B1: Select sweet buckwheat and bitter buckwheat that are free of mildew and insect pests, and rinse them with running water to remove dust and other residual impurities on the surface.

[0062] Step B2, drying the washed sweet buckwheat and bitter buckwheat to control the moisture content of the sweet buckwheat and bitter buckwheat to less than 5% to increase the aroma and taste. The drying temperature is controlled between 50-60°C and the drying time is controlled between 6-8 hours to avoid burning and affecting the quality.

[0063] Step B3, the dried sweet buckwheat and bitter buckwheat are crushed by professional crushing equipment, wherein the professional crushing equipment is a universal crusher, and the particle size of the sweet buckwheat and bitter buckwheat after crushing is controlled between 80-100 meshes, which is not only convenient for subsequent uniform mixing, but also helps to dissolve or disperse better when taking it with water, and the taste is relatively delicate.

[0064] Specifically, the steps of processing almonds and walnuts include:

[0065] Step C1: Select almonds and walnuts that are free of mold and insect pests, and shell the almonds and walnuts.

[0066] Step C2, drying the shelled almonds and walnuts to control their moisture content below 5% to increase the aroma and taste. The drying temperature of almonds is controlled between 60-70°C and the drying time is controlled between 10-12 hours to avoid burning and affecting the quality; the drying temperature of walnuts is controlled between 40-50°C and the drying time is controlled between 2-3 days to avoid burning and affecting the quality.

[0067] Step C3, the dried almonds and walnuts are crushed by professional crushing equipment. The professional crushing equipment adopts a universal crusher, and the particle size of the almonds and walnuts after crushing is controlled between 80-100 meshes, which is not only convenient for subsequent uniform mixing, but also helps to better dissolve or disperse when taking it, and the taste is relatively delicate.

[0068] Specifically, the steps of processing wolfberry include:

[0069] Step D1: Select wolfberries that are free of mold, insects, natural color, spindle-shaped, and large and full. Remove impurities such as fruit stalks and leaves, rinse with running water to remove dust and other residual impurities on the surface.

[0070] Step D2, place the washed wolfberry on a tray of a drying device and dry it with hot air at 50-70°C for 4-6 hours, and use hot air circulation to remove moisture so that its moisture content is controlled below 5%. The wolfberry after drying will become darker in color, more shiny, and naturally dark red or reddish brown. The dried wolfberry is obviously much lighter than the fresh wolfberry. You can randomly select some wolfberries for weighing and compare the weight before drying. If the weight is stable and no longer significantly reduced, it means that it has been dried.

[0071] Step D3, the dried wolfberry is crushed by professional crushing equipment. Among them, the professional crushing equipment adopts a universal crusher, the feed particle size of the universal crusher is not more than 70mm, and the equipment speed is controlled at 1500-3000r / min. The particle size of the wolfberry after crushing is controlled between 80-120 meshes, which is not only convenient for subsequent uniform mixing, but also helps to better dissolve or disperse when taking it with water, and the taste is also relatively delicate.

[0072] Specifically, the steps of processing red dates include:

[0073] Step E1: Select red dates that are firm, elastic, full, complete, uniform in size, smooth in surface, without damage or cracks, and naturally red, shiny, sweet and mellow in color, and rinse them with running water to remove dust and other residual impurities on the surface. The diameter of the selected red dates is between 12 and 38 mm.

[0074] Step E2, using an intelligent numerical control pitting machine with a full stainless steel structure to pit the washed red dates; wherein the power system of the intelligent numerical control pitting machine is a 380V, 1.5kW electric motor, with an hourly processing capacity of 600-750kg, a pitting rate of more than 98%, and a stepless speed change function. The intelligent numerical control pitting machine can automatically identify the size, shape and position of the red dates, accurately perform the pitting operation, and has high precision and high efficiency, and almost no damage to the red date pulp.

[0075] Step E3, placing the pitted red dates on a tray of a drying device and drying them with hot air at 50-70° C. for 18-30 hours, using hot air circulation to remove moisture so that the moisture content is controlled below 5%.

[0076] Step E4, the dried red dates are crushed by professional crushing equipment. Among them, the professional crushing equipment adopts a universal crusher, the feed particle size of the universal crusher is not more than 100mm, the equipment speed is controlled at 1000r / min, the power is controlled at 7.5-15kW, and the crushing capacity is 100-300kg per hour. The particle size of the crushed red dates is controlled between 80-120 meshes, which is not only convenient for subsequent uniform mixing, but also helps to better dissolve or disperse when taking it with water, and the taste is also relatively delicate.

[0077] It should be noted that bird's nest, sweet buckwheat, bitter buckwheat, almonds, walnuts, wolfberries and red dates are all ground into powder using independent professional crushing equipment. This is highly professional, avoids cross contamination, and is easy to maintain.

[0078] Step S2, mixing the powdered bird's nest, sweet buckwheat, almonds, walnuts, wolfberries and red dates in a specific mass percentage ratio to form a daytime mixed powder; wherein the mass percentage ratio of each raw material in the daytime mixed powder is: 15% bird's nest, 30% sweet buckwheat, 20% almonds, 15% walnuts, 10% wolfberries, and 10% red dates.

[0079] Specifically, before mixing the powdered bird's nest, sweet buckwheat, almonds, walnuts, wolfberries and red dates, a high-precision electronic balance is used to weigh the weight of each raw material according to a specific mass percentage ratio. For example, if a batch of daytime mixed powder with a total weight of 10kg is to be made, of which bird's nest powder accounts for 15%, 1.5kg of bird's nest powder is accurately weighed, and then other raw materials are weighed in turn. Among them, the high-precision electronic balance uses the Explorer EX225D balance of the Ohaus series, with a maximum range of 220g and an accuracy of 0.01mg. It is equipped with a color touch screen and intelligent calibration function, and has a user-friendly interface.

[0080] After weighing all the raw materials of the daytime mixed powder, the SYH-5 three-dimensional mixer is used for full mixing and stirring. The mixing and stirring time is controlled within 15-30 minutes to ensure the uniformity of the mixing, so as to ensure that each subsequent daytime bird's nest food particle contains uniform nutrients. Among them, the barrel volume of the SYH-5 three-dimensional mixer is 5L; the maximum loading volume is 4.5L; the maximum loading weight is 2.4-4.5kg; the main shaft speed is 0-20r / min; the motor power is 0.25kW.

[0081] Step S3, mixing the powdered bird's nest, buckwheat, almonds, walnuts, wolfberries and red dates in a specific mass percentage ratio to form a night mixed powder; wherein the mass percentage ratio of each raw material in the night mixed powder is: 20% bird's nest, 25% buckwheat, 15% almonds, 15% walnuts, 10% wolfberries, and 15% red dates.

[0082] Specifically, before mixing the powdered bird's nest, buckwheat, almonds, walnuts, wolfberries and red dates, a high-precision electronic balance is used to weigh the weight of each raw material according to a specific mass percentage ratio. For example, if a batch of mixed powder with a total weight of 10kg is to be made, of which bird's nest powder accounts for 20%, 2kg of bird's nest powder is accurately weighed, and then other raw materials are weighed in turn. Among them, the high-precision electronic balance uses the Explorer EX225D balance of the Ohaus series, with a maximum range of 220g and an accuracy of 0.01mg. It is equipped with a color touch screen and intelligent calibration function, and has a user-friendly interface.

[0083] After weighing all the raw materials of the night mixed powder, the SYH-5 three-dimensional mixer is used for full mixing and stirring. The mixing and stirring time is controlled within 15-30 minutes to ensure the uniformity of the mixture, so as to ensure that each night bird's nest food particle produced later contains uniform nutrients. Among them, the barrel volume of the SYH-5 three-dimensional mixer is 5L; the maximum loading volume is 4.5L; the maximum loading weight is 2.4-4.5kg; the spindle speed is 0-20r / min; the motor power is 0.25kW.

[0084] Step S4: using a low-temperature vacuum dry granulator to granulate the daytime mixed powder and the nighttime mixed powder to form daytime bird's nest food particles and nighttime bird's nest food particles.

[0085] Specifically, the step of granulating the daytime mixed powder or the nighttime mixed powder using a low-temperature vacuum dry granulator comprises:

[0086] Step F1, put the daytime mixed powder or nighttime mixed powder into the hopper of the low-temperature vacuum dry granulator, close the equipment door, start the vacuum pump, vacuum the inside of the equipment to remove air and moisture, and control the granulation temperature between 20℃-25℃ to create a low-temperature vacuum environment. In the low-temperature vacuum dry granulation process, temperature control is very important. Due to low-temperature granulation, the temperature is generally controlled within a relatively low range to avoid damage to the nutrients and active substances in the raw materials. For temperature-sensitive raw materials such as bird's nests, the temperature should be as close to room temperature as possible, that is, between 20℃-25℃, and should not be too high.

[0087] Step F2, start the tableting device, and press the daytime mixed powder or the nighttime mixed powder into a sheet material by adjusting the pressure of the pressing roller. The pressure of the pressing roller is controlled between 20-50 MPa, and the pressure range of the pressing roller can avoid destroying the nutrients and active substances of each raw material in the daytime mixed powder or the nighttime mixed powder.

[0088] Step F3, conveying the pressed sheet material to the crushing device, crushing the sheet material into particles of the desired size by a rotating blade or other crushing mechanism to form daytime bird's nest food particles or nighttime bird's nest food particles. The particle size of the daytime bird's nest food particles or nighttime bird's nest food particles is set between 10-60 meshes. The particles in this particle size range have good solubility, fluidity, taste, etc., and will not be difficult to dissolve because the particles are too large and coarse, nor will they produce agglomeration due to the particles being too fine. The rotation speed of the rotating blade is controlled between 6-18rpm to make the particle size of the crushed particles uniform.

[0089] The above-mentioned low-temperature vacuum dry granulation method has the following advantages:

[0090] 1) Retain nutrients: The low-temperature vacuum environment can retain the nutrients and active substances in raw materials such as bird's nests, buckwheat, almonds, walnuts, wolfberries, and red dates to the greatest extent, avoiding the problems of nutrient loss and protein denaturation caused by high-temperature treatment, thereby ensuring the nutritional value of the product.

[0091] 2) No need to add adhesives: No additional adhesives or wetting agents are required during the dry granulation process. The granules are formed by relying on the characteristics of the material itself and the pressure during the tableting process, avoiding the problem of chemical residues that may be caused by adding adhesives, and ensuring the naturalness and safety of the product.

[0092] 3) Simple and efficient process: Compared with the traditional wet granulation, the low-temperature vacuum dry granulation process is simple and does not require complex operation steps such as wetting and drying of materials, which greatly shortens the production cycle and improves production efficiency. At the same time, the operation and maintenance of the equipment are relatively simple, which reduces production costs.

[0093] 4) Good particle quality: By reasonably controlling parameters such as pressure and rotation speed, particles with uniform particle size, moderate hardness and good fluidity can be produced, so that the prepared particles are not easy to break or agglomerate during subsequent packaging, transportation and use, thus ensuring the quality and stability of the product.

[0094] Step S5, the daytime bird's nest food particles and the nighttime bird's nest food particles are sized, the adhered particles are separated, and large particles and fine powder that do not meet the requirements are screened out to ensure the uniformity of the particle size of the product.

[0095] Specifically, the daytime bird's nest food particles and nighttime bird's nest food particles are sized separately through a sieve, and the mesh number of the sieve is selected according to the product requirements to ensure that in the final product, the particles with a particle size of 10-60 mesh account for 70%-90%. In the food industry, referring to solid beverage granules, it is generally required that the particles between 10-60 mesh account for about 70%-90%. Particles in this particle size range perform well in terms of solubility, fluidity, taste, etc., and will not be difficult to dissolve because the particles are too large and coarse, nor will they agglomerate because the particles are too fine.

[0096] Step S6, respectively packaging the whole daytime bird's nest food particles and the nighttime bird's nest food particles to prepare daytime bird's nest food particle granules and nighttime bird's nest food particle granules.

[0097] Specifically, the daytime bird's nest food particles and night bird's nest food particles are packaged in aluminum packaging materials, which have good sealing, moisture resistance and light protection. The packaging is sterile throughout the process to prevent the product from being contaminated during the packaging process. The product name, ingredients, efficacy, method of consumption, production date, shelf life and other information are marked on the packaging to facilitate consumers to understand and use.

[0098] Step S7, performing quality inspection on the particle size, nutritional components and solubility of the prepared daytime bird's nest food granules and nighttime bird's nest food granules to ensure the nutritional efficacy and morphological consistency of the products.

[0099] Specifically, the quality inspection experiment process and experimental parameters for the particle size, nutritional components and solubility of the prepared daytime bird's nest food granules and nighttime bird's nest food granules are as follows:

[0100] 1) Particle size quality detection:

[0101] Twelve groups of prepared granule samples were collected, including: 6 groups of bird's nest food granule samples for daytime, named 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6; and 6 groups of bird's nest food granule samples for nighttime, named 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12.

[0102] The sieving method is adopted for the inspection, using tools such as Taylor standard sieve, vibrating screen, balance, brush, etc. to inspect the particle size. After sieving, the mass of particles above 10 mesh sieve is M1, the mass of particles below 60 mesh sieve is M2, and the mass of particles between 10-60 mesh sieve is M3. The particle size ratio is A%. The weighing data of the sieving inspection is shown in Table 2 below.

[0103] Table 2 Screening test weighing data statistics (mass unit: gram)

[0104] sample MTotal M1 M2 M3 A sample MTotal M1 M2 M3 A 1 10 1.210 0.630 8.160 81.6 7 10 1.170 0.590 8.240 82.4 2 15 1.830 0.950 12.220 81.5 8 15 1.770 0.890 12.160 81.1 3 20 2.440 1.240 16.320 81.6 9 20 2.340 1.180 16.380 81.9 4 25 3.160 1.580 20.260 81.0 10 25 2.970 1.450 20.580 82.3 5 30 3.550 1.910 24.540 81.8 11 30 3.580 1.730 24.690 82.3 6 35 4.030 2.210 28.760 82.2 12 35 4.180 2.040 28.780 82.2

[0105] From the screening test data of the 12 groups of samples taken, it can be seen that the particle size of the 12 groups of samples met expectations and the quality was qualified.

[0106] 2) Nutritional quality testing:

[0107] Instant bird's nest food granules are rich in nutrients. In addition to nutrients such as protein, sialic acid, carbohydrates, unsaturated fatty acids, dietary fiber, vitamin E, vitamin C, polysaccharides and β-carotene, they also contain minerals such as magnesium, iron, zinc, calcium, phosphorus, copper, potassium, selenium, and a small amount of vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B6, and flavonoids, triterpenoids and other biologically active ingredients. The nutritional components of instant bird's nest food granules are shown in Table 3 below.

[0108] Table 3 Main nutritional components of instant bird's nest food granules (100g dosage value)

[0109] Element protein Sialic acid carbohydrate Unsaturated fatty acids Saturated fatty acids Dietary fiber daytime 6.75g 112.5mg 28.75g 21g 2.325g 2.25g night 6.375g 150mg 26.125g 18g 1.95g 1.875g Element Polysaccharides Vitamin E Vitamin C Beta-carotene magnesium Potassium daytime 0.2g 2.025mg 9.5mg 0.15mg 63.75mg 25mg night 0.2g 1.65mg 13.25mg 0.15mg 53.75mg 37.5mg Element calcium phosphorus iron Zinc copper daytime 25mg 18.75mg 2mg 1.5mg 0.0525mg night 18.75mg 18.75mg 1.8mg 1.3mg 0.0525mg

[0110] When testing the quality of nutrients, protein, sialic acid, carbohydrates, unsaturated fatty acids, vitamin C, magnesium, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, etc. were selected for testing and verification. Six groups of samples were randomly selected for testing of various nutrients, including three groups of bird's nest food granules during the day and three groups of bird's nest food granules at night. Relative error is used to reflect the differences in various nutrients after the quality test of nutrients (relative error = (experimental test value-measured value) ÷ measured value × 100%). The granulation errors of various nutrients in instant bird's nest food granules after the quality test of nutrients are shown in Table 4 below.

[0111] Table 4 Granulation error table of various nutrients of instant bird's nest food granules after nutrient quality test

[0112]

[0113] As shown in Table 4, the maximum granulation errors of various nutrients in the 6 groups of samples are: protein-7.29%, sialic acid-7.17%, carbohydrates-5.79%, unsaturated fatty acids-5.66%, saturated fatty acids-5.86%, dietary fiber-4.87%, vitamin C-7.67%, magnesium-2.05%, calcium-2.77%, potassium-2.32%, phosphorus-2.46%. Comprehensive analysis shows that the granulation errors of protein, sialic acid, fat, vitamins, etc. are about 6%, the granulation error of carbohydrates is about 5%, and the granulation error of minerals is less than 3%. Overall, the nutritional components of instant bird's nest food granules have basically not changed significantly, and the granulation error is small.

[0114] The above data indicate that the preparation method of the instant bird's nest food granules, which comprises crushing bird's nest, sweet buckwheat, bitter buckwheat, almonds, walnuts, wolfberries and red dates into powders, mixing and stirring them evenly after measuring, and then vacuum low-temperature dry granulation, does not cause significant loss of the raw material nutrients. The preparation method of the instant bird's nest food granules of the present invention is appropriate and reliable.

[0115] Note:

[0116] Granulation error means: the relative error between the nutrient content of uniformly mixed granules calculated based on the nutrient content and ratio of each raw material and the nutrient content obtained by experimental testing after successful granulation is called granulation error. It reflects the difference between the theoretically calculated nutrient content and the nutrient content tested after actual granulation, and is used to evaluate the impact of the granulation process on nutrients, including whether the raw materials are mixed uniformly, whether the granulation process causes loss or change of nutrients, and many other factors.

[0117] For traditional non-vacuum low-temperature dry granulation, the error range of instant food granule granulation is different due to factors such as food ingredients, process and quality requirements. For instant food granule granules whose main components are carbohydrates and minerals, the granulation error may be relatively small, usually around ±5%-±10%. However, the instant bird's nest food granule granule of the present invention contains more heat-sensitive ingredients (such as vitamins, probiotics, etc.) and complex nutrients (such as protein, unsaturated fatty acids, etc.), and adopts traditional non-vacuum low-temperature dry granulation, which will cause the granulation error to reach ±10%-±20%. This is because these ingredients are easily affected by factors such as temperature, pressure, humidity and change during mixing, granulation, drying and other processes.

[0118] 3) Solubility quality test:

[0119] Six groups of samples were randomly selected from different batches of instant bird's nest food granules, including three groups of bird's nest food granules for daytime and three groups of bird's nest food granules for nighttime. Each group of samples weighs 7g. The samples were placed in a 100ml beaker, and 70g of pure water was added to the beaker; the beaker was placed in a constant temperature water bath, and the brewing temperature was set to 80°C; the agitator was turned on, and the solution was stirred at 200 rpm. The stirring time of sample 1 was set to 30s, the stirring time of sample 2 was set to 60s, the stirring time of sample 3 was set to 90s, the stirring time of sample 4 was set to 120s, the stirring time of sample 5 was set to 150s, and the stirring time of sample 6 was set to 180s. The sample observation records are shown in Table 5 below:

[0120] Table 5 Sample observation record:

[0121]

[0122] As can be seen from Table 5, the instant bird's nest food granules prepared by the present invention have good granule solubility and are generally in a light yellow turbid suspended liquid state, which is convenient for consumption.

[0123] Taste test:

[0124] After the instant bird's nest food granules (including daytime bird's nest food granules and night bird's nest food granules) are brewed in 80°C water and stirred for 2-3 minutes, it has a sweet taste with the aroma of bird's nest, buckwheat, almonds, walnuts, wolfberries and red dates, with a rich flavor and a delicate and smooth texture.

[0125] The unique taste of the bird's nest adds a touch of smoothness and moisture to the granules, and also brings a light sweetness. Buckwheat adds a hint of granularity and chewiness to the taste, enriching the overall taste level. Almonds and walnuts bring a crispy taste to the granules, releasing a rich nutty aroma during chewing. The sweet taste of wolfberries and red dates spreads in the mouth, giving the entire granules a natural sweetness and fruity aroma. In addition, the nourishing effect of the bird's nest, the dietary fiber of buckwheat, the high-quality fat of almonds and walnuts, the antioxidant components of wolfberries, and the blood-tonifying effect of red dates make the instant bird's nest food granules of the present invention not only satisfy the taste buds, but also bring many benefits to the body.

[0126] In summary, the present invention uses bird's nest as a main ingredient and buckwheat, almonds, walnuts, wolfberries and red dates as ingredients to prepare an instant bird's nest food granule granule which has multiple functions such as enhancing immunity, nourishing the liver and kidneys, lowering blood sugar, blood lipids and cholesterol, and improving sleep quality.
