Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of blood pressure lowering health care, and in particular to an application method of celery powder in blood pressure lowering health care and a health care product. Background Art

[0002] Celery, a kind of celery, is a plant of the Umbelliferae family. It is neither a root vegetable nor a slimy food. It is nutritious, rich in nutrients such as protein, carbohydrates, minerals and multivitamins, and also contains celery oil, which has the effects of lowering blood pressure, calming, strengthening the stomach, and diuresis. It is a health-care vegetable. Celery is introduced from abroad, has been widely cultivated and is deeply loved by the people, has a wide and thick petiole, a large number of leaves per plant, and a large weight, which can reach more than 1Kg. Celery and Chinese celery have the same nutritional and therapeutic value. Fresh and tender celery is smooth and delicious to eat. Celery powder can be used as an additive for fruit and vegetable nutritional tablets and seasoning powder. For example, application number CN01126111.0 discloses a fruit and vegetable nutritional tablet, which contains celery powder 2% to 15%, and application number CN201210172807.4 discloses a Western-style stewed beef bone seasoning powder and a preparation method thereof for enhancing cooking taste, wherein celery powder is also added as an ingredient. A Chinese patent discloses a celery powder preparation process (Announcement No. CN107114778A), which discloses a celery powder preparation process, including selecting celery in the late growth stage, soaking in tartaric acid to soften and remove the stems, then washing, cutting, steaming, soaking in sodium acetate-acetic acid-water solution, rinsing again, spraying a mixture of wine and sodium bicarbonate on the surface of the celery segment and wrapping it with bamboo leaves for steam treatment, adding a taste improver and grinding to obtain a slurry, spraying the slurry to obtain instant celery powder. The celery powder prepared by the present invention is rich in nutrition and effectively retains the acid and alkaline components contained in celery; by adding a proper amount of a taste improver composed of peanut oil, etc., the nutritional value is improved while the spray drying powder yield is improved; the raw material uses celery in the late growth stage, which is cheap and easy to obtain, and realizes the transformation of waste into treasure. This patented technology solves the problem that there is no record of the celery powder preparation process in the prior art, especially that celery in the late growth stage is not suitable for consumption as a vegetable.

[0003] However, the prior art has a good application of celery in lowering blood pressure health care, and the method of using celery in lowering blood pressure for human body needs to solve the problem of the application of celery powder in lowering blood pressure health care in the prior art.

[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art provide an application method and health product of celery powder in lowering blood pressure to solve the problems raised in the above background technology. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the application of celery extract, that is, the application of celery extract in lowering blood pressure health care;

[0006] The celery extract provided in the present invention can be packaged as a liquid oral beverage health product or a solid oral health product in the form of capsules. The celery powder contains apigenin, and flavonoid compounds are used. Apigenin can inhibit the activity of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE). Angiotensin converting enzyme plays a key role in the blood pressure regulation process. It can convert angiotensin I into angiotensin II. Angiotensin II is a strong vasoconstrictor, which can cause blood vessels to contract and lead to increased blood pressure.

[0007] When apigenin inhibits the activity of ACE, the production of angiotensin II is reduced, and the degree of vasoconstriction is alleviated, thereby playing a role in lowering blood pressure;

[0008] When celery extract containing apigenin was added to a reaction system containing angiotensin converting enzyme, the activity of angiotensin converting enzyme in the blood vessels was significantly reduced, and its activity inhibition rate was related to the concentration of apigenin.

[0009] Celery extract in the application of blood pressure lowering health care Celery powder naturally retains potassium. Potassium ions play an important role in maintaining the osmotic pressure balance and acid-base balance inside and outside cells. In blood pressure regulation, potassium ions can promote the excretion of sodium. When the human body takes in enough potassium, the kidneys will increase the excretion of sodium and reduce the retention of sodium in the body. Since sodium retention will lead to an increase in blood volume, which in turn increases blood pressure, potassium ions promote sodium excretion and reduce blood volume, thereby lowering blood pressure.

[0010] Under normal circumstances, the concentration of potassium ions inside human cells is high, and the concentration of sodium ions outside cells is high. When the intake of potassium ions increases, ion exchange occurs in the renal tubules of the kidneys, causing more sodium ions to be excreted from the body. The increase in potassium ions promotes the excretion of sodium ions, thereby maintaining electrolyte balance and blood pressure stability.

[0011] Potassium can counteract the blood pressure-raising effect of sodium in the body, that is, it balances blood pressure by regulating the sodium ion level in the body. Sufficient potassium intake can help lower blood pressure, especially for those with high blood pressure or hypertension. Potassium in celery powder. Celery powder is rich in potassium, so it is a good source of potassium supplementation. Apigenin. Definition. Apigenin is an active ingredient in celery powder. It has the function of vasodilation. Mechanism of action. By vasodilation, apigenin can reduce blood vessel resistance and make blood flow more smoothly in the blood vessels, thereby helping to lower blood pressure. Direct effect on blood pressure. Apigenin's regulation of blood pressure is one of its most significant health benefits. Antioxidant ingredients. Types. Celery powder contains a variety of antioxidant ingredients, such as vitamins;

[0012] Antioxidants can protect the cardiovascular system from oxidative stress, which is an important mechanism for the development of cardiovascular disease. They indirectly affect blood pressure by reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease. Antioxidants help maintain the health of the cardiovascular system, which in turn has a positive impact on blood pressure, thereby lowering blood pressure. Maintaining cardiovascular health is essential for overall blood pressure control. The dietary fiber, potassium, apigenin, and antioxidants in celery powder work together on multiple systems in the human body, especially the cardiovascular system, to help control and lower blood pressure. These ingredients work together to promote health through different mechanisms, making celery powder a nutritional supplement that is beneficial to blood pressure.

[0013] Celery extract in the application of lowering blood pressure health care Dietary fiber is an important component of celery powder, which is mainly derived from plant cell walls. The specific effect it provides to the human body is that dietary fiber absorbs water and swells in the intestines, increasing the volume of food. This physical change can stimulate intestinal peristalsis, improve constipation, and make the digestive system work more smoothly. The effect on blood pressure, by promoting intestinal health and overall metabolism, dietary fiber indirectly has a positive effect on blood pressure. A good digestive system helps maintain overall health, which may be beneficial to blood pressure control.

[0014] Technical effects and advantages of the present invention:

[0015] The application of celery powder in blood pressure control in the present invention shows its antioxidant properties, wherein the antioxidants such as vitamin C, beta-carotene and flavonoids (such as apigenin) contained therein can neutralize free radicals, reduce the damage of oxidative stress to vascular endothelial cells, maintain the integrity and function of vascular endothelium, ensure normal vasodilation, prevent the occurrence of hypertension and atherosclerosis, and thus maintain the health of the cardiovascular system. The application of celery powder in blood pressure control is also reflected in its improvement of vascular endothelial function. Ingredients such as apigenin can promote vascular endothelial cells to produce and release nitric oxide (NO). NO, as an important vasodilator factor, can relax vascular smooth muscle, promote vasodilation, reduce vascular resistance, improve blood circulation, prevent platelet aggregation and attachment to vascular walls, reduce the risk of thrombosis, and ensure unobstructed cardiovascular function.

[0016] The application of celery powder in blood pressure control in the present invention also includes its anti-thrombotic ability. The nutrients it contains can interfere with the aggregation process of platelets. For example, apigenin can inhibit platelet aggregation induced by platelet activating factor, thereby reducing the risk of thrombosis and the occurrence of cardiovascular blockage events. It plays an important role in preventing diseases such as coronary heart disease and stroke, and ensures the safety of cardiovascular circulation. The application of celery powder in blood pressure control is also reflected in its regulatory effect on blood lipid metabolism. Dietary fiber can bind cholesterol and bile acid, reduce their absorption by the intestine, reduce the cholesterol level in the blood, and improve blood lipid status. Celery powder may affect the activity and receptor expression of lipid metabolism-related enzymes, optimize the ratio of blood lipid components, reduce low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), increase high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), reduce lipid deposition in atherosclerosis, and maintain the elasticity and patency of blood vessels. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] The specific embodiments of the present invention are further described in detail. The examples of the present invention are given for the purpose of illustration and description, and are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the present invention to the disclosed forms. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art. The embodiments are selected and described in order to better illustrate the principles and practical applications of the present invention, and to enable those of ordinary skill in the art to understand the present invention and design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for specific uses.

[0018] Embodiment 1: In this embodiment, the application of celery powder in lowering blood pressure health care is provided. The celery extract of the application of celery powder in lowering blood pressure health care can be packaged as a liquid oral beverage health product or a solid oral health product in the form of capsules. The celery powder contains apigenin, and flavonoid compounds are used. Apigenin can inhibit the activity of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE). Angiotensin converting enzyme plays a key role in the blood pressure regulation process. It can convert angiotensin I into angiotensin II. Angiotensin II is a strong vasoconstrictor, which can cause blood vessels to contract and lead to increased blood pressure.

[0019] When apigenin inhibits the activity of ACE, the production of angiotensin II is reduced, and the degree of vasoconstriction is alleviated, thereby playing a role in lowering blood pressure;

[0020] When celery extract containing apigenin was added to a reaction system containing angiotensin converting enzyme, the activity of angiotensin converting enzyme in the blood vessels was significantly reduced, and its activity inhibition rate was related to the concentration of apigenin.

[0021] Celery extract in the application of blood pressure lowering health care Celery powder naturally retains potassium. Potassium ions play an important role in maintaining the osmotic pressure balance and acid-base balance inside and outside cells. In blood pressure regulation, potassium ions can promote the excretion of sodium. When the human body takes in enough potassium, the kidneys will increase the excretion of sodium and reduce the retention of sodium in the body. Since sodium retention will lead to an increase in blood volume, which in turn increases blood pressure, potassium ions promote sodium excretion and reduce blood volume, thereby lowering blood pressure.

[0022] Under normal circumstances, the concentration of potassium ions inside human cells is high, and the concentration of sodium ions outside cells is high. When the intake of potassium ions increases, ion exchange occurs in the renal tubules of the kidneys, causing more sodium ions to be excreted from the body. The increase in potassium ions promotes the excretion of sodium ions, thereby maintaining electrolyte balance and blood pressure stability.

[0023] Potassium can counteract the blood pressure-raising effect of sodium in the body, that is, it balances blood pressure by regulating the sodium ion level in the body. Sufficient potassium intake can help lower blood pressure, especially for those with high blood pressure or hypertension. Potassium in celery powder. Celery powder is rich in potassium, so it is a good source of potassium supplement. Apigenin, definition, apigenin is an active ingredient in celery powder, which has the function of vasodilation. Mechanism of action, by dilating blood vessels, apigenin can reduce vascular resistance and make blood flow more smoothly in the blood vessels, thereby helping to lower blood pressure. Direct effect on blood pressure, apigenin's regulating effect on blood pressure is one of its most significant health benefits. Antioxidant ingredients, types, celery powder contains a variety of antioxidant ingredients, such as vitamins.

[0024] Example 2. In this example, the application of celery powder in lowering blood pressure health care is provided. The application of celery powder in lowering blood pressure health care has antioxidant ingredients that can protect the cardiovascular system from oxidative stress damage, which is an important mechanism for the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases and an indirect effect on blood pressure. By reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases, antioxidant ingredients help maintain the health of the cardiovascular system, thereby having a positive effect on blood pressure, thereby lowering blood pressure. Maintaining cardiovascular health is crucial for overall blood pressure control. The dietary fiber, potassium, apigenin and antioxidant ingredients in celery powder work together on multiple systems of the human body, especially the cardiovascular system, thereby helping to control and lower blood pressure. These ingredients work together to promote health through different mechanisms, making celery powder a nutritional supplement that is beneficial to blood pressure.

[0025] Celery extract in the application of blood pressure lowering health care Dietary fiber is an important component of celery powder, mainly derived from plant cell walls. The specific effect it provides to the human body is that dietary fiber absorbs water and swells in the intestines, increasing the volume of food. This physical change can stimulate intestinal peristalsis, improve constipation, and make the digestive system operate more smoothly. The effect on blood pressure, by promoting intestinal health and overall metabolism, dietary fiber indirectly has a positive effect on blood pressure. A good digestive system helps maintain overall health, which may be beneficial to blood pressure control;

[0026] The dietary fiber in celery powder can bind to cholesterol and bile acid in the intestines, reducing their absorption. The decrease in bile acid absorption causes the liver to use more cholesterol to synthesize bile acid, thereby lowering blood cholesterol levels. Lower blood cholesterol helps improve endothelial function and reduce the risk of atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis causes the blood vessel wall to thicken, harden, and narrow, increasing peripheral vascular resistance and blood pressure. Dietary fiber indirectly improves the state of blood vessels by lowering cholesterol, helping to maintain stable blood pressure.

[0027] Example 3: In this example, a method for extracting and preparing celery powder for use in lowering blood pressure and health care is provided;

[0028] The extraction and preparation method of celery powder for use in lowering blood pressure and health care;

[0029] Step 1: Select celery of good quality. When selecting, pay attention to the wide and thick petiole, crisp texture, and bright green color. Avoid selecting celery with defects such as wormholes and yellow spots, and conduct pesticide residue testing.

[0030] Step 2: Wash the celery selected in step 1, soak the celery for 10 to 15 minutes, and then place it in an ultrasonic cleaning machine for ultrasonic vibration cleaning. The ultrasonic vibration causes the water source to generate high-frequency vibration to remove the mud and dirt hidden in the folds of the celery. The cleaning time is 3 to 8 minutes; the mud and sand in the folds of the celery can be efficiently cleaned by vibration, and the pesticide residues on the surface of the celery can be cleaned at the same time;

[0031] The celery cleaned in the ultrasonic cleaning machine is taken out and placed in a potassium permanganate water source with a concentration of 0.1% to 0.2% for 5 to 10 minutes, and then the celery soaked in the potassium permanganate water source is promptly rinsed with clean water to clean the residue;

[0032] The application of celery powder in lowering blood pressure health care has oxidative stress. Celery powder contains antioxidants such as vitamin C, β-carotene and flavonoids (such as apigenin). These antioxidant ingredients can neutralize free radicals, reduce oxidative stress damage to vascular endothelial cells, maintain vascular endothelial integrity and function, ensure normal vasodilation, and prevent cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension and atherosclerosis.

[0033] The application of celery powder in lowering blood pressure health care can improve endothelial function. Ingredients such as apigenin can enhance the production and release of nitric oxide (NO) in endothelial cells. NO is a key vasodilator factor that can relax vascular smooth muscle, promote vasodilation, reduce vascular resistance, improve blood flow, prevent platelet aggregation and adhesion to blood vessel walls, reduce the risk of thrombosis, and maintain cardiovascular patency.

[0034] Celery powder has anti-thrombotic effects in lowering blood pressure and its nutrients can interfere with platelet aggregation. For example, apigenin inhibits platelet aggregation induced by platelet activating factor, reduces the risk of thrombosis, reduces cardiovascular blockage events, plays a key role in preventing coronary heart disease and stroke, and protects cardiovascular circulation safety.

[0035] Celery powder can be used in blood pressure health care to regulate blood lipid metabolism. Dietary fiber binds cholesterol and bile acid, reduces intestinal absorption, reduces blood cholesterol levels, and improves blood lipid status. In addition, it may affect the activity of lipid metabolism-related enzymes and receptor expression, optimize the proportion of blood lipid components, reduce low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), increase high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), reduce atherosclerotic lipid deposition, and maintain vascular elasticity and patency.

[0036] Step 3: drain the celery washed in step 2, use a cold air machine to dry the water stains remaining on the surface of the celery, separate the stems and leaves of the celery, and cut the celery petioles into uniform small sections with a length of 3 to 5 cm;

[0037] Step 4: placing the celery segmented in step 3 in a freeze dryer and controlling the temperature to be low-temperature frozen at -40 to -50°C. After the water in the celery is frozen, the air is evacuated to a vacuum, and the frozen water in the celery is directly converted into water vapor by sublimation in a vacuum environment and removed;

[0038] Step 5: placing the freeze-dried celery in step 4 in a grinder and continuously grinding it for 200 to 35 minutes, grinding the celery into powder particles of 80 to 100 meshes, and sieving the celery powder to a mesh of 100 to 110 meshes;

[0039] Step 6: placing the celery powder in step 5 in an extraction kettle, controlling the temperature in the extraction kettle at 31-40° C., and the pressure at 7-10 MPa, allowing supercritical carbon dioxide fluid to pass through the extraction kettle and fully contact with the celery powder, and the extraction time is 1-3 hours. Supercritical carbon dioxide passing through a supercritical fluid has a diffusion coefficient similar to that of a gas and a solubility similar to that of a liquid, so that when the celery is in a supercritical state, carbon dioxide can effectively dissolve the effective components in the celery, and when the pressure and temperature change, the solute can be precipitated, thereby completing the extraction of the celery powder;

[0040] Step 7: The extracted celery powder is packaged into edible and water-soluble capsules to form a health product for lowering blood pressure. The packaged celery powder is 0.5 g per serving.

[0041] Example 4: In this example, a health product for lowering blood pressure using celery powder is provided. The celery powder can be mixed with liquid purified water, honey, vitamin A, vitamin C, and vitamin E before packaging to form a health product for lowering blood pressure with multiple flavors and functions.

[0042] Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field and related fields without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. The structures, devices and operating methods not specifically described and explained in the present invention are implemented according to the conventional means in the field unless otherwise specified and limited.
