Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a coffee composition for refreshing and replenishing energy, a preparation process and an application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of functional foods. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, as people's pace of life accelerates and their attention to health continues to increase, the demand for beverages with specific functions is growing. The functions of coffee products on the market are relatively single and cannot meet the diverse needs of consumers.

[0003] In particular, coffee contains caffeine, which can excite nerves, which may be good news for people who need to refresh themselves at work. However, for people with insufficient Qi and blood, excessive caffeine may aggravate symptoms such as palpitations and insomnia, which will not only affect daily life and work, but may also further consume Qi and blood, causing trouble for some coffee lovers who need to refresh themselves, forcing them to give up coffee and choose other mild drinks instead. However, other drinks are difficult to achieve the refreshing effect of coffee, which is not conducive to these people staying clear-headed at work.

[0004] Therefore, it is urgent to develop a coffee composition that can both refresh the mind and replenish energy to meet the needs of coffee lovers. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the above existing technical problems, the present invention provides a coffee composition for refreshing and replenishing energy, and a preparation process and application thereof, so as to achieve the dual effects of refreshing and replenishing energy.

[0006] To achieve the above technical objectives, firstly, the present invention provides a coffee composition for refreshing and replenishing energy, comprising the following raw materials and their weight portions: 20-40 parts of coffee liquid, 10-15 parts of Chinese herbal liquid, 0.7-0.85 parts of cocoa powder, 0.1-0.2 parts of baking soda, 0.05-0.1 parts of xanthan gum, and 44-69 parts of water; the Chinese herbal liquid comprises the following raw materials and their weight portions: 6-8 parts of astragalus, 5-7 parts of ginseng, 6-8 parts of wolfberry, 3-6 parts of yam, and 3-6 parts of licorice.

[0007] The coffee composition of the present invention further comprises the following raw materials and their weight portions: 25 parts of coffee liquid, 13 parts of Chinese herbal liquid, 0.75 parts of cocoa powder, 0.16 parts of baking soda, 0.1 parts of xanthan gum, and 61 parts of water; the Chinese herbal liquid comprises the following raw materials and their weight portions: 7 parts of astragalus, 5 parts of ginseng, 6 parts of wolfberry, 5 parts of yam, and 4 parts of licorice.

[0008] In the above technical solution, firstly, various raw materials of Chinese herbal medicine achieve the effect of refreshing and replenishing qi through different mechanisms, which are specifically introduced as follows.

[0009] (1) The effects of Astragalus are as follows: sweet, slightly warm. It enters the lung and spleen meridians, can replenish qi and raise yang, consolidate the exterior and stop sweating, promote diuresis and reduce swelling, and strengthen the spleen and stomach function.

[0010] (2) The effects of ginseng are as follows: sweet, slightly bitter, slightly warm. It enters the spleen, lung, heart, and kidney meridians, and can greatly replenish vital energy, restore the pulse and consolidate the body, nourish the spleen and lungs, promote the production of body fluids and nourish blood, calm the mind and improve intelligence, enhance immunity, and resist fatigue.

[0011] (3) The effects of wolfberry are as follows: sweet, neutral. It enters the liver and kidney meridians, nourishes the liver and kidneys, replenishes essence and blood, improves eyesight, and improves vision loss and dizziness.

[0012] (4) The effects of yam are as follows: it is sweet and mild in nature, and enters the spleen, lung, and kidney meridians. It can strengthen the spleen and stomach, promote the production of qi and blood, and aid digestion.

[0013] (5) The effects of licorice are as follows: it is sweet and mild in nature, and enters the heart, lung, spleen, and stomach meridians. It can harmonize various medicines, nourish the spleen and replenish qi, replenish qi and nourish yin, and enhance the overall effect of the prescription.

[0014] In particular, the Chinese herbal medicine liquid of the present invention is based on the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, with Astragalus as the main drug. Although Astragalus has the effect of replenishing qi and strengthening the exterior, the replenishing qi mainly goes to the surface of the muscles and is not durable enough, while ginseng is used as the ministerial drug, and ginseng replenishes qi mainly in the five internal organs, and the effect is durable, so ginseng and Astragalus work synergistically to enhance the effect of replenishing qi and blood. In addition, wolfberry and yam are used as adjuvants, among which wolfberry nourishes the yin of the liver and kidneys, and can be matched with astragalus and ginseng to enhance the replenishing effect and nourish the liver and kidneys at the same time; yam strengthens the spleen and stomach, promotes gastrointestinal peristalsis, helps digestion, and can assist the main and ministerial drugs to better absorb and play a role. Licorice is used as the guiding drug to reconcile the various drugs, guide the drugs to the lesion site, and enhance the overall efficacy of the Chinese herbal medicine liquid.

[0015] Secondly, coffee liquid and cocoa powder have a certain promoting effect on the efficacy of Chinese herbal medicine liquid in refreshing and replenishing energy, as shown below: (a) Coffee liquid: Contains caffeine, a stimulant that can directly stimulate the central nervous system, improve people's attention and memory, effectively refresh the mind and make people feel refreshed. In addition, its refreshing effect can indirectly help improve the state of Qi deficiency caused by fatigue, making people feel more energetic and helping the Chinese herbal liquid to enhance the Qi-replenishing effect.

[0016] (b) Cocoa powder: It also contains ingredients such as caffeine and theobromine, which can promote brain function, improve alertness and concentration, and thus achieve a refreshing effect. In addition to refreshing, cocoa powder is also rich in various nutrients, such as protein, vitamins, trace elements, etc. These substances can provide energy and supplement nutrition for the body, help to strengthen the body, and thus indirectly play a role in replenishing qi.

[0017] Furthermore, baking soda can neutralize stomach acid, thereby alleviating symptoms such as acid reflux and heartburn, and can help break down food and improve digestion efficiency. Xanthan gum can increase the stability of the product, thereby extending the shelf life, and can also increase the viscosity and taste of the beverage, making the product smoother and more delicate.

[0018] As can be seen from the above, the present invention combines coffee liquid, Chinese herbal liquid, cocoa powder, baking soda, and xanthan gum, and stimulates the central nervous system through coffee liquid and cocoa powder, improves attention and alertness, and effectively refreshes the mind. At the same time, the Chinese herbal liquid is used to help improve the state of qi deficiency and enhance physical fitness. This combination method can not only have a significant synergistic effect in refreshing the mind, but also can replenish qi and jointly promote the improvement of physical condition, and is a good choice for those who pursue a healthy diet.

[0019] Secondly, the present invention provides a preparation process of a coffee composition for refreshing and replenishing energy, comprising the following steps: S1. Preparation of coffee liquid: S1-1. Selection: Choose high-quality coffee beans and remove defective beans, foreign matter and broken beans.

[0020] S1-2, roasting: roasting the selected coffee beans to obtain lightly roasted coffee beans.

[0021] The preparation process of the present invention further has the following advantages: the baking temperature is between 120° C. and 160° C., and the baking time is between 20 min and 30 min.

[0022] In the above technical solution, the degree of roasting has a crucial influence on the flavor and nutritional components of coffee beans. During the roasting process, as the temperature rises and the time prolongs, the coffee beans will gradually lose their original flavor and may produce a burnt feeling. In order to avoid this situation, this step adopts low-temperature roasting technology, and accurately controls the roasting temperature and time to obtain lightly roasted coffee beans. This not only retains the original flavor and nutritional components of the coffee beans, making the acidity of the coffee bright and prominent, the taste mellow, and the flavor fresh, but also avoids the harmful substances that may be generated by high temperature, ensuring the safety and health of the coffee.

[0023] S1-3, grinding: grinding and sieving the roasted coffee beans to obtain roasted coffee powder.

[0024] S1-4, extraction: mix the roasted coffee powder and water evenly, then perform cold extraction and sieve filtering to obtain coffee liquid.

[0025] The preparation process of the present invention further has a mass ratio of roasted coffee powder to water of 1:8-10.

[0026] The preparation process of the present invention is further characterized in that the cold extraction temperature is 1°C-4°C and the cold extraction time is 10h-20h.

[0027] In the above technical solution, due to the cold extraction at 1℃-4℃ for 10 h-20 h, the tannic acid and other components in the obtained coffee liquid are less dissolved, the taste is smooth, with lower acidity, fresh and slightly sweet, and the taste is softer. At the same time, the aromatic substances are extracted at low temperature, making the coffee aroma rich. In addition, the long extraction time allows the caffeine to be fully extracted and the content is high.

[0028] S2. Preparation of Chinese herbal medicine liquid: S2-1, Pretreatment: Select high-quality ginseng, wolfberry, astragalus, yam, and licorice, and cut them into slices; S2-2, boiling: Weigh the sliced ​​ginseng slices, wolfberry slices, astragalus slices, yam slices, and licorice slices respectively, and soak them in clean water for 4-6 hours, then boil them, filter them once to obtain the residue and filtrate, boil the residue again, filter them twice to obtain the medicinal liquid, and mix them with the filtrate filtered once to prepare the Chinese herbal medicine liquid.

[0029] The preparation process of the present invention is further characterized in that the cooking is performed by first boiling over a high fire and then cooking over a low fire for 40 minutes.

[0030] S3. Mixing and homogenizing: Weigh coffee liquid, Chinese herbal liquid, cocoa powder, baking soda, xanthan gum, and water separately. First, heat the water to 100°C, then add the coffee liquid, cocoa powder, and xanthan gum into the water and homogenize. When the water cools down to 80°C, add baking soda and homogenize. Then add the Chinese herbal liquid and homogenize to obtain a coffee composition that is refreshing and invigorating.

[0031] In the above technical solution, baking soda is added when the water temperature drops to 80°C, otherwise the finished product will have a strong alkaline taste. In addition, the Chinese herbal medicine liquid is added for homogenization after all other components are homogenized, which is conducive to the fineness and stability of the product.

[0032] S4. Packaging and sterilization: screening, filling and sterilizing the coffee composition for invigorating the mind and replenishing energy.

[0033] Thirdly, the present invention provides a coffee composition for refreshing and replenishing energy, and its use in preparing food with refreshing and replenishing energy function.

[0034] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects and technical advantages of the present invention are as follows: A. The composition of the present invention uses astragalus and ginseng to replenish qi, wolfberry to replenish essence and blood, yam to strengthen the spleen and stomach to promote qi and blood production, and licorice to harmonize the medicinal properties, so as to achieve the effects of refreshing and replenishing qi and blood. In addition, these raw materials can play a synergistic role in refreshing and replenishing qi, and jointly promote the improvement of physical condition. It is suitable for people with weak and sickly bodies, easy fatigue, insufficient qi and blood, etc.

[0085] Experiment 1: Weighted swimming test for mice.

[0086] Experimental subjects: 70 4-week-old SPF Kunming mice were selected, half of which were male and half were female. After one week of adaptive feeding in an animal room with a temperature of about 25 degrees and a humidity of 50%-60%, 60 mice that could swim were selected for the swimming experiment and randomly divided into 12 groups, 5 mice in each group, respectively marked as blank group, Example 1 group to Example 3 group, and Comparative Example 1 group to Comparative Example 8 group.

[0087] Experimental method: The blank group was administered with pure water, while the Example 1 to Example 3 groups were administered with the coffee composition products obtained in Examples 1 to 3, respectively, and the Comparative Example 1 to Comparative Example 8 groups were administered with the coffee composition products obtained in Comparative Example 1 to Comparative Example 8, respectively. Except for the blank group, each group was administered with a dose of 4 g / kg for four consecutive weeks. 30 minutes after the last administration of the test substance, the mice with a lead sheet of 5% of their body weight at the base of their tails were placed in a swimming box with a water depth of 30 cm and a water temperature of 25±0.5°C to swim, and the time for each group of mice to sink to the water surface for 8 seconds and not float to the water surface was recorded as the swimming time of the mice.

[0088] The experimental results are shown in the following table:

[0089] From the above table and Figure 2It can be seen that compared with the blank control group, the coffee composition prepared by Examples 1-3 of the present invention can increase the average swimming time of mice, indicating that the coffee composition has a good refreshing effect, among which Example 2 is the best formula of the coffee composition of the present invention, and has the best refreshing effect. In addition, in the coffee composition of the present invention, the coffee liquid plays a major refreshing role, and the comparative example 1 group lacks coffee liquid, so the refreshing effect is the worst. At the same time, cocoa powder and Chinese herbal liquid have a synergistic effect on the coffee liquid, which enhances the refreshing effect. Among the Chinese herbal liquid, astragalus plays a core role, and the comparative example 6 group lacks astragalus, so the refreshing effect is discounted. At the same time, ginseng, wolfberry, yam, and licorice have a certain synergistic effect on astragalus.

[0090] Experiment 2: Experiment to verify the effect of replenishing qi.

[0091] Experimental subjects: 240 volunteers with pale complexion, lack of energy, drowsiness, physical weakness and shortness of breath were selected, half of them were male and half were female, and none of them had other serious diseases.

[0092] Experimental method: The volunteers were divided into 12 groups, each with 20 people. The first group was a blank group that drank an equal amount of mineral water. The second to fourth groups consumed the coffee compositions prepared in the above Examples 1-3, respectively. The fifth to twelfth groups consumed the coffee compositions prepared in the above Comparative Examples 1-8, respectively, with a dosage of 30 g / time, twice a day, for 30 consecutive days. During this period, no other substances with the same or related effects were consumed.

[0093] Efficacy criteria: ① Cured: no symptoms of pale complexion, lack of energy, drowsiness, physical weakness and shortness of breath; ② Significantly effective: pale complexion, lack of energy, drowsiness, physical weakness and shortness of breath gradually improve, symptoms are significantly alleviated and the effect is significantly improved; ③ Effective: pale complexion, lack of energy, drowsiness, physical weakness and shortness of breath symptoms are alleviated and the effect is improved to a certain extent; ④ Ineffective: no improvement or the effect is not obvious.

[0094] The results of the Qi-replenishing effect verification are shown in the following table:

[0095] From the above table and Figure 3It can be seen that compared with the blank control group, the coffee composition of the present invention does have a qi-invigorating effect, and the total effective rates of the Example 1-3 groups are significantly higher than those of the Comparative Example 1-8 groups, especially, the total effective rate of the Example 2 group is the highest, and the qi-invigorating effect is the best. It can be seen that in the coffee composition of the present invention, the Chinese herbal liquid plays a core role and has a qi-invigorating effect. The Comparative Example 2 group lacks the Chinese herbal liquid, and the qi-invigorating effect is the worst. At the same time, the coffee liquid and cocoa powder have a synergistic effect on the Chinese herbal liquid, so that the qi-invigorating effect is enhanced. In the Chinese herbal liquid, astragalus plays a core role. The Comparative Example 6 group lacks astragalus, and the qi-invigorating effect of the Chinese herbal liquid is greatly reduced. At the same time, ginseng, wolfberry, yam, and licorice have a certain synergistic effect on astragalus. The above components are reasonably compatible and effectively coordinated, and the prepared coffee composition can make people look ruddy, refreshed, strong, and will not have shortness of breath.

[0096] Combining Experiment 1 and Experiment 2, it can be seen that in the Chinese herbal liquid of the present invention, Astragalus plays a core role in replenishing Qi, and Ginseng plays a role in strengthening the effect of replenishing Qi and blood, and together with Lycium barbarum, Chinese yam, and Licorice, the replenishing effect is enhanced. In addition, coffee liquid and cocoa powder stimulate the central nervous system, improve attention and alertness, and play an effective refreshing effect. At the same time, the Chinese herbal liquid is used to help improve the state of Qi deficiency, strengthen physical fitness, and jointly promote the improvement of physical condition, and enhance the refreshing effect of coffee liquid.
