Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of food technology, and particularly relates to a selenium-enriched walnut polypeptide solid beverage and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] With rising awareness of healthy eating, the market for plant-based protein beverages is rapidly expanding. Walnut drinks, due to their natural and nutritious properties, are gaining popularity among consumers, particularly in first- and second-tier cities and in the mid- to high-end market. The industry is dominated by traditional brands (such as "Six Walnuts"), while emerging brands are entering the market through differentiated offerings (such as organic, low-sugar, and portable packaging). Furthermore, the entry of cross-border brands (such as dairy companies and beverage giants) is intensifying competition. In the future, the walnut beverage market will face major challenges, including homogeneous competition, fluctuating raw material costs, and consumer sensitivity to additives. Innovations such as sugar-free, functional (such as the addition of probiotics), and environmentally friendly packaging hold great potential.

[0003] Selenium is an essential trace element for the human body and has been listed as one of the 15 essential nutrients. Selenium exists in nature in two forms: organic and inorganic. Inorganic selenium generally refers to sodium selenite and sodium selenate, with a toxic dose of 1500 μg / day. Organic selenium generally exists as selenomethionine, which is metabolized through the methionine metabolic pathway, participates in protein synthesis, and is easily stored and absorbed within tissues. Once absorbed, it is rapidly utilized by the body, effectively improving blood selenium levels. Compared to inorganic selenium, organic selenium is safer, easily absorbed and utilized by the body, and is highly effective in supplementing selenium. Selenoproteins are primarily composed of tansylate and wheatselenium. Research has shown that organic selenium is safe to consume, has no toxic side effects, is non-toxic, has a high absorption and utilization rate, and is highly nutritious.

[0004] Selenium deficiency can cause malfunction of certain vital organs and lead to a variety of serious illnesses. For those with selenium deficiency or low levels, adequate selenium supplementation can not only prevent the development of tumors and liver disease, but also boost immunity, maintain the normal function of vital organs like the heart, liver, lungs, and stomach, and prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in the elderly. Selenium supplementation is necessary throughout life. Animal studies have shown that adequate selenium intake through the diet is essential; failure to do so reduces the body's ability to fight disease. Therefore, a daily intake of selenium is essential, just like the daily intake of nutrients like protein and vitamins. Therefore, selenium supplementation has become a trend in our pursuit of health.

[0005] In the existing technology, biotechnology is used to deeply process walnut protein resources, and then exogenous selenium is added to make walnut milk beverages. However, there is a problem of poor product stability. The use of selenium-resistant bacteria to ferment and prepare polypeptide-selenium chelates converts inorganic selenium into organic selenium bioactive polypeptide-selenium chelates, which significantly improves the absorption rate and utilization rate of selenium.

[0006] Therefore, it is an urgent problem for those skilled in the art to provide a selenium-enriched walnut polypeptide solid beverage and a preparation method thereof. Summary of the Invention
