Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of food processing, and in particular to a polygonatum composite immunity enhancing sesame pill and a preparation process thereof. Background Art

[0002] As modern people's health awareness continues to improve, the demand for foods that replenish qi, nourish health and improve immunity is growing. More and more consumers hope to consume natural ingredients with health benefits through their daily diet. Therefore, traditional Chinese medicine ingredients such as polygonatum, wolfberry, and ginseng are gradually introduced into food production, becoming an effective way to enhance immunity and improve physical fitness. However, this innovative healthy food research and development faces many challenges, especially the application of Chinese medicine powder in food.

[0003] Polygonatum sibiricum is the rhizome of Polygonatum sibiricum of the Liliaceae family. Its rhizome is fleshy and rich in polysaccharides, fats, proteins, vitamins, flavonoids, saponins and other nutrients. It is sweet in taste, neutral in nature, and enters the lung, spleen, and kidney meridians. It nourishes the kidneys and moisturizes the lungs, strengthens the spleen and kidneys, and replenishes qi and yin. The ancients called it "dragon mouth, poverty relief, immortal surplus food, qi essence", etc., and found that long-term consumption of Polygonatum sibiricum can prolong life. Modern medicine has found that Polygonatum sibiricum can improve memory, lower blood sugar, lower blood lipids, anti-inflammatory, anti-viral and other effects in clinical medicinal treatment. Polygonatum sibiricum is a product of medicinal and edible origin. If it is used alone, the effect is slow.

[0004] Cinnamon is the bark of the cinnamon tree, a plant of the Lauraceae family. Its bark has a hard texture and is rich in a variety of bioactive ingredients such as cinnamaldehyde, cinnamic acid, coumarin, and volatile oils. It is spicy and warm in nature, and it enters the heart, spleen, and kidney meridians. It has the effects of warming the yang and dispelling cold, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and replenishing qi and strengthening the spleen. The ancients called it "cinnamon fragrance, warming the yang fairy grass, and the holy product of medicine", and believed that cinnamon helps to dispel cold and dampness, warm the body, and promote blood circulation. Modern medical research has found that cinnamon not only has multiple health benefits such as promoting blood sugar regulation, anti-oxidation, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial, but is also widely used in regulating the gastrointestinal tract and relieving joint pain. As a food that is both a medicine and food, although cinnamon has a mild effect, regular consumption helps to strengthen the body and improve immunity.

[0005] Traditional Chinese medicines such as Polygonatum sibiricum and Lycium barbarum contain a large number of active ingredients, such as polysaccharides, flavonoids, saponins, etc. These ingredients have a significant effect on improving immunity. However, directly adding these traditional Chinese medicine powders to food may bring the following problems. 1. Poor taste: Many traditional Chinese medicine ingredients have a distinct medicinal taste, especially bitterness, which will directly affect the taste of the food and make it unacceptable. 2. Difficult processing: Traditional Chinese medicine powders often contain a large amount of fiber and sticky components. Excessive addition will lead to a decrease in the workability of the dough and affect the toughness and ductility of the food. 3. Stability and shelf life issues: Some ingredients in traditional Chinese medicine powders, such as flavonoids and polysaccharides, may be oxidized or degraded during storage, affecting their nutritional value and efficacy. At the same time, some traditional Chinese medicine ingredients have a strong ability to absorb moisture, which can easily cause the food to become damp during storage, thereby affecting the shelf life.

[0006] Therefore, how to overcome the challenges of Chinese medicine powder in processing, taste, dissolution rate and stability has become an urgent problem to be solved in the food industry. Effectively improving the application effect of Chinese medicine powder, improving its acceptability in food, and ensuring its health-preserving effect is the development direction of today's food industry. Summary of the invention

[0007] Purpose of the invention: The purpose of the present invention is to provide a polygonatum composite immune-enhancing sesame pill and its preparation process, by organically combining polygonatum and cinnamon, which are both medicinal and edible, with flour through an embedding technology to prepare a noodle food that combines nutrition and has certain health functions, thereby improving the edible value of wild polygonatum plants.

[0008] The technical solution of the present invention:
