Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a functional beverage in the beverage category of the food industry, and more particularly to an aloe vera herbal tea beverage with the function of relieving hangover. Background Art

[0002] Drinking alcohol is a traditional custom that has been passed down for thousands of years and has formed an ingrained cultural phenomenon in various social activities of people. On every important occasion, whether it is a happy or sad event, when relatives and friends gather, see off guests or welcome guests, especially in various business activities, it is inevitable to entertain with wine. "A feast without wine is not a feast" has become a common phenomenon. Now China has become the largest alcohol producer and consumer in the world. People who often drink alcohol often like to invite a few friends to drink heartily. It seems that only by clinking glasses can they open their hearts, say what's on their minds, and draw closer the feelings between friends.

[0003] However, during the drinking process, friends often persuade each other to drink more, as if only getting drunk can express the host's hospitality. Moreover, during the drinking process, in order to liven up the atmosphere, there are also drinking games such as finger-guessing, treasure guessing, dice rolling, and tiger fighting, which often result in excessive drinking. In mild cases, people may vomit and talk nonsense, and in severe cases, they may collapse and fall into a coma.

[0004] Modern medical research has confirmed that long-term excessive drinking can damage multiple organs of the human body. Alcohol is quickly absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract and enters the bloodstream and spreads throughout the body. Alcohol molecules, although simple, are very special. In the various physiological activities of the human body, the body does not produce alcohol and does not require the participation of alcohol. Among the various natural food ingredients that humans can eat, there are no ingredients that naturally contain alcohol. Alcohol is only produced through the fermentation of sugars by ethanol bacteria. Drinking a small amount of alcohol will cause the blood vessels in the human body to dilate and make people excited. People may think that moderate drinking is beneficial to the human body, but in fact, this is a misunderstanding. Alcohol is a completely unbeneficial chemical substance to the human body and is toxic. People who drink alcohol for a long time will have multiple organs in their bodies poisoned by alcohol, and many geriatric diseases are related to this. It not only increases their own pain but also increases medical expenses, and the harmful effects are obvious.

[0005] Since the habit of drinking alcohol is difficult to eliminate, can something be used to reduce the harm of alcohol to the human body? In fact, someone has long been concerned about this problem. Li Shizhen recorded in the Compendium of Materia Medica that many Chinese herbal medicines have the function of relieving hangover, such as kudzu root, kudzu flower, and oriental raisin tree seed, etc.

[0006] There are also various hangover products in the Chinese patent database. For example, in CN201710315026.9, a hangover beverage containing aloe vera, the raw materials used are: aloe vera extract, preservative, flavoring agent, coloring agent, disintegrant, filler, lubricant, and binder. Except for the aloe vera extract, the meanings of the other raw materials the author wants to express probably refer to food additives. In the national standards (GB2760 - 86) "Hygienic Standards for the Use of Food Additives" and (GB12493 - 90) "Classification and Codes of Food Additives", food additives are divided into 21 categories. However, there are no disintegrants, fillers, lubricants, or binders, and the author also does not explain what these things are. In the specification, the author states that the aloe vera extract used is a substance extracted from aloe vera dry powder. Regarding the aloe vera varieties selected, the author lists four varieties in the specification, which are aloe vera vulgaris, aloe vera barbadensis miller, aloe ferox miller, and aloe yuanjiangensis. There are more than 300 varieties of aloe vera, and the chemical compositions and functions of each variety of aloe vera are different. The author also does not explain which of these four aloe vera varieties is the one selected. Among these four aloe vera varieties, only aloe vera barbadensis miller is cultivated on a large scale. The one he selected should also be aloe vera barbadensis miller. In the specification of this application, the three embodiments only describe that the aloe vera dry powder passes through sieves of different thicknesses, and the supercritical extraction method used is also a general method.

[0007] In short, the technical solution described in this application document is very vague and difficult to understand.

[0008] The raw materials used in the Chinese patent document (CN02144804.3) "A Hangover and Fitness Tea Granule" are: whole leaf dry powder of American aloe vera, tea powder, citric acid ester, casein phosphopeptide, hydrolyzed vegetable protein, and fructooligosaccharide powder. The above materials are formulated into dry powder. The American aloe vera used is aloe vera barbadensis miller.

[0009] The materials used in the Chinese patent document (021811153933.9) "A Compound Aloe Vera Hangover and Liver - Protecting Beverage and Its Preparation Method" are: aloe vera crude polysaccharide, poria cocos extract, fructooligosaccharide, L - threonic acid magnesium, honey, lemon juice, and stabilizer. In its specification, aloe vera gel juice is to be used. From this, it can be known that the aloe vera variety used is aloe vera barbadensis miller because only aloe vera barbadensis miller contains a large amount of aloe vera gel, and the utilization value of aloe vera barbadensis miller is also its gel.

[0010] Aloe vera barbadensis miller is also called American aloe vera because the United States was the first to cultivate aloe vera barbadensis miller on a large scale and utilize it, and other countries also introduced it from the United States. The gel of aloe vera barbadensis miller can not only beautify and nourish the skin but also be edible, but its hangover function is not obvious.

[0011] The anti-alcohol products in the Chinese patent database also include (GB202211451987.X) "A Solid Beverage for Protecting the Liver from Alcohol and Its Preparation Method". The raw materials used are: germinated peanuts, fresh lemons, fairy yams, fresh Dendrobium officinale, natural sophora flower rice, fresh blueberries, and stevia leaves. There is no Aloe arborescens. Incredibly, except for germinated peanuts, other materials have their respective maturity periods and are not in the same time period, making it impossible to implement.

[0012] There is also the Chinese patent (GB202410457414.0) "A Traditional Chinese Medicine Composition with Anti-Alcohol Effects". The traditional Chinese medicines you selected are: germinated barley, malt, Hovenia dulcis, Pueraria lobata, cloves, and smoked plums. It is purely a traditional Chinese medicine formula.

[0013] There are a wide variety of anti-alcohol products on the market currently. Not only are the domestic product types complex, but there are also various products imported from the United States, South Korea, and Japan, and the effects are not ideal. The main raw materials are Pueraria lobata, Pueraria flower, and Hovenia dulcis. Although these materials are recorded in traditional Chinese medicine books as being able to detoxify alcohol, a large amount needs to be taken to have an effect. The effective ingredient content in the commercially available capsules, tablets, and oral liquids is very small and cannot play an obvious anti-alcohol role. There are also many other traditional Chinese medicine anti-alcohol formulas, and the claims of anti-alcohol lack strict scientific basis.

[0014] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a new anti-alcohol product formula with verifiable anti-alcohol efficacy, to provide a health protection for people who like to drink, reduce the toxicity of alcohol, and mitigate the adverse effects on people's bodies. Summary of the Invention

[0015] The present invention relates to an aloe vera herbal tea with anti-alcohol function, and its main raw material is the fresh mature leaves of Aloe arborescens.

[0016] Aloe vera is a perennial plant of the genus Aloe in the family Asphodelaceae of the order Asparagales. It is native to the tropical arid regions of Africa. There are more than 300 known species and varieties of the genus Aloe, and Aloe vera is the most famous. It is now widely cultivated and utilized in many countries around the world. Because Aloe vera was first cultivated on a large scale in the United States, and later many countries introduced Aloe vera from the United States, it is also known as American aloe. The leaves of Aloe vera are wide and thick, and the weight of a single leaf can reach more than one kilogram at most. It has a wide range of uses in skin care and health care, has no bitterness, and the leaf pulp can also be eaten.

[0017] Aloe vera is also the first aloe vera variety introduced and cultivated in China. The cultivation and utilization of Aloe vera once gave rise to a wave of aloe vera fever in the country.

[0018] Aloe arborescens is an aloe variety in Japan, and some people also call it Japanese aloe. It was introduced from Japan to China for cultivation. The leaves of Aloe arborescens taste very bitter and are not edible. Japanese experts' research on Aloe arborescens found that it has certain medicinal functions and has gradually been taken seriously by people.

[0019] According to relevant literature records, aloe has the function of relieving alcohol, but it does not specify which aloe variety. Through a large number of experimental studies and repeated experience verifications, we found that Aloe arborescens indeed has the effect of relieving alcohol. We selected the mature fresh leaves of Aloe arborescens as the main raw material and, through repeated verifications, found the appropriate dosage. After careful processing, a beverage herbal tea with the function of relieving alcohol was made.

[0020] To enhance the function of the anti-alcohol herbal tea, green tea, mint, licorice, soy lecithin, and brown sugar are added. These several raw materials all have different degrees of functions of relieving alcohol and detoxifying, and form a synergistic effect in the formula, greatly enhancing the function of the aloe herbal tea in relieving alcohol and detoxifying.

[0024] Soy lecithin is a kind of plant lecithin extracted from soybeans. It has high nutritional value and has the effect of helping the body remove toxins and can play various beneficial functions in this aloe herbal tea.

[0025] Brown sugar is sugar extracted from sugarcane. Because it has not undergone separation of molasses and refining, it retains all kinds of nutritional components in sugarcane to the greatest extent, has extremely high nutritional value and health care effects on the human body. Its sweetness is much higher than that of white granulated sugar. In this aloe herbal tea, it can eliminate the bitter taste of other raw materials and can improve the taste of the aloe herbal tea. Brown sugar also has a certain function of relieving alcohol. The dosages of various raw materials in this aloe herbal tea are as follows (mass ratio, zero means): Aloe arborescens (calculated based on mature fresh leaves) is 5% - 30% Green tea (calculated based on commercially available dry tea leaves) is 0.1% - 0.5% Mint (calculated based on commercially available dry mint branches and leaves) is 0.1% - 0.5 Licorice (calculated based on commercially available dry traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces of licorice) is 0.1% - 1% Brown sugar (calculated based on commercially available sugarcane brown sugar) is 1% - 6% Soybean lecithin (calculated based on commercially available powdered products) is 0.1% - 1% The balance is drinking water.
