Detailed Implementation

[0014] The present application will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.

[0015] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention or the prior art, in the following description, different "an embodiment" or "an embodiment" do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. Different embodiments can be substituted or combined, and for those skilled in the art, other implementation methods can be obtained based on these embodiments without creative effort.

[0016] A nutritional flavoring paste made from Zhongning wolfberry, comprising the following components by weight: Sweet flavor group: 800-1000 parts of wolfberry and 800-1000 parts of polygonatum; Salty Kelp: 300-700 parts, Pearl: 300-700 parts, Oyster: 300-700 parts, Cassia Seed: 300-700 parts, and Abalone Shell: 300-700 parts; Spicy Flavor Group: 200-300 parts cloves, 200-300 parts star anise, 200-300 parts dried ginger, 200-300 parts cinnamon, 200-300 parts Sichuan peppercorns, 200-300 parts galangal, 200-300 parts black pepper, and 200-300 parts long pepper; Sour flavor group: 200-300 parts of jujube seed, 500-800 parts of hawthorn, and 200-300 parts of dried plum; Aromatic components: 200-300 parts cardamom, 200-300 parts nutmeg, 200-300 parts fennel. A method for preparing a nutritional flavoring paste made from Zhongning wolfberry includes the following steps: selecting raw materials, rinsing, draining, soaking, decocting, concentrating, and collecting the paste to obtain the aforementioned nutritional flavoring paste made from Zhongning wolfberry; Based on parts by weight, it includes the following components: Sweet flavor group: 800-1000 parts of wolfberry and 800-1000 parts of polygonatum; Salty Kelp: 300-700 parts, Pearl: 300-700 parts, Oyster: 300-700 parts, Cassia Seed: 300-700 parts, and Abalone Shell: 300-700 parts; Spicy Flavor Group: 200-300 parts cloves, 200-300 parts star anise, 200-300 parts dried ginger, 200-300 parts cinnamon, 200-300 parts Sichuan peppercorns, 200-300 parts galangal, 200-300 parts black pepper, and 200-300 parts long pepper; Sour flavor group: 200-300 parts of jujube seed, 500-800 parts of hawthorn, and 200-300 parts of dried plum; Aromatic ingredients: 200-300 parts cardamom, 200-300 parts nutmeg, and 200-300 parts fennel. First, choose a large copper pot, earthenware pot, or internationally compliant 304 food-grade stainless steel pot, as these pots have good heat transfer performance, even heating, and stable properties, making them less likely to react adversely with the chemical components in the medicinal herbs. This results in a high-quality decoction with no excessive heavy metal content. Avoid using iron or aluminum pots, as their chemical properties are unstable, and excessive heavy metal content can easily react with some chemical components in the medicinal herbs, leading to changes in color, taste, and quality, affecting the efficacy. In severe cases, it can cause heavy metal accumulation and poisoning.

[0017] Further, the selection of raw materials includes the following steps: Select berries that are spindle-shaped or oval, 15-20mm long, 5-8mm in diameter, dark red in color, with a protruding style scar at the tip, a white navel at the base, a flexible pericarp, thick and moist flesh, and a wrinkled shape, with a floating rate of up to 85% when placed in a water glass. Choose berries with 40-60 seeds, kidney-shaped, 1.5-1.7mm long, 1-1.5mm wide, and a yellow surface. First, clean the selected raw materials, removing dust and impurities. Select berries that are smaller, oval in shape, thin-skinned, thick-fleshed, with few seeds, and a sweet, slightly bitter, and slightly sour taste, as Zhongning wolfberries have a low sugar content and are suitable for a wide range of people. First, clean the selected wolfberries and other medicinal materials in the formula, removing dust and impurities.

[0018] The rinsing process includes the following steps: after removing impurities, the wolfberries and other medicinal materials in the formula are transferred to the corresponding containers for a four-stage rinsing process to thoroughly remove pesticide residues and dust remaining on the surface.

[0019] The drying process includes the following steps: After rinsing, drain the raw materials and place them separately into a frying pan.

[0020] Furthermore, the soaking process includes the following steps: Place the drained wolfberries and other Chinese medicinal herbs in the formula into a clean, internationally compliant 304 stainless steel container of equal capacity (do not use iron or aluminum containers). Add an appropriate amount of clean water to moisten the herbs (filtered purified water must be used). After a while, add more water until it is about 5 cm above the surface of the herbs. The water-to-herb ratio should be 5:1. Soak for 6 hours to allow them to fully absorb and expand, so that the effective components in the herbs can be fully extracted through decoction.

[0021] Further, the decoction process includes the following steps: After soaking, transfer each of the medicinal herbs separately to a stove for decoction. First, bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer, stirring constantly. After simmering for 1.5 hours, turn off the heat and filter the first decoction through a sieve. Next, add purified water to the decoction pot and decoct using the same method; this is the second decoction. After the third decoction, the medicinal flavor will be weak; filter the decoction and discard the dregs (if the medicinal flavor is still strong, it can be decocted once more). Combine the decoctions obtained from the first to fourth decoctions, let stand for at least 5 hours, filter again through a sieve, and concentrate the supernatant into a paste.

[0022] Further, the concentration process includes the following steps: Pour the filtered and cleaned medicinal juice into a decoction pot, first boil it over high heat to accelerate the evaporation of water, and skim off the foam at any time, allowing the medicinal juice to gradually thicken. Then, reduce the heat to low to further concentrate it. At this time, it is necessary to stir constantly, because the medicinal juice is very easy to stick to the bottom of the pot and burn when it thickens. Stir until the medicinal juice drips onto paper without spreading. Only at this point can the decoction be stopped. This is the concentrated wolfberry nutritional flavoring paste.

[0023] Weighing, dispensing, sterilizing, cooling and sealing: After the collected Zhongning wolfberry nutritional seasoning paste has cooled to room temperature, put it into a clean porcelain container. Do not cover it at first. Cover the container with clean gauze to prevent dust (about 4-6 hours). After it has completely cooled, cover and seal it.

[0024] Storage: Place the porcelain jar containing the Zhongning wolfberry nutritional seasoning paste in a clean, ventilated, breathable, dark environment with a suitable temperature for later use.

[0025] An application of a Zhongning wolfberry nutritional seasoning paste, wherein the Zhongning wolfberry nutritional seasoning paste is used in food to replace salt, soy sauce and monosodium glutamate; the Zhongning wolfberry nutritional seasoning paste comprises the following components by weight: Sweet flavor group: 800-1000 parts of wolfberry and 800-1000 parts of polygonatum; Salty Kelp: 300-700 parts, Pearl: 300-700 parts, Oyster: 300-700 parts, Cassia Seed: 300-700 parts, and Abalone Shell: 300-700 parts; Spicy Flavor Group: 200-300 parts cloves, 200-300 parts star anise, 200-300 parts dried ginger, 200-300 parts cinnamon, 200-300 parts Sichuan peppercorns, 200-300 parts galangal, 200-300 parts black pepper, and 200-300 parts long pepper; Sour flavor group: 200-300 parts of jujube seed, 500-800 parts of hawthorn, and 200-300 parts of dried plum; Aromatic Group: 200-300 parts cardamom, 200-300 parts nutmeg, 200-300 parts fennel. The most distinctive feature of this herbal paste is its meticulous and rigorous formulation and unique, authentic processing technique. Its greatest characteristic is that it belongs to one of the main dosage forms of traditional Chinese medicine, possessing a long history and unique characteristics, shining brightly in the present day, incomparable to ordinary seasonings. Zhongning wolfberry seasoning paste, in terms of its effects, is said to have both flavoring and therapeutic properties, as well as disease prevention. In terms of its form, it can be ground into powder, made into paste, or ready-made paste. This allows the paste processed according to the formula to not only possess the efficacy of a compound traditional Chinese medicine formula, but also to be more convenient to take, more palatable, and to simultaneously flavor and treat diseases while strengthening the body. It is especially suitable for the long-term use needs of sub-healthy individuals, those with various chronic diseases, the elderly, and patients with gynecological diseases.

[0026] This formula combines nourishing, non-toxic, and long-term-use ingredients that function as both food and medicine. It categorizes drugs with similar origins, effects, and properties through compatibility, showcasing their functional effects and application characteristics. It reveals the commonalities and essential connections in the efficacy of similar drugs. Utilizing the traditional Chinese medicine theory of complementary and substitute combinations, this formula classifies the properties of drugs into cold and hot types, and combines them according to their functions and effects. The cold, hot, warm, and cool properties of Chinese medicine influence the balance of Yin and Yang or changes in temperature in the human body. That is, warm and hot drugs have effects such as dispersing wind-evil, warming the interior and dispelling cold, tonifying deficiency and assisting Yang, warming the meridians and promoting circulation, and restoring Yang and rescuing from collapse; while cold and cool drugs have effects such as dispersing wind-heat, clearing heat and purging fire, cooling blood heat, and detoxifying. Through mutual combination, mutual restraint, and mutual exertion of their respective effects, this formula suppresses the heat-related symptoms caused by long-term use of warm and hot drugs, and also suppresses the cold-sensitive symptoms caused by long-term use of cold and cool drugs.

[0027] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) herbs possess five flavors: pungent, sweet, sour, bitter, and salty, and these flavors are related to human taste perception. The flavor profile of this formula reflects the true taste of the herbs, a sensory understanding gained through tasting, and corresponds to the actual taste. It represents the inherent properties and effects of the herbs, a rational understanding of their effects derived from extensive practical experience. It is a high-level summary and marker of the laws governing the effects of TCM. It is obtained through the taste organs of healthy individuals. The flavor profile of this formula has gradually evolved from a simple taste into a comprehensive marker of the herbs' effects. The effects of the flavor profile: Based on the theories of "pungent dispersing, sour astringent, sweet moderating, and salty softening" in the *Huangdi Neijing* (Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic), physicians throughout history have continuously supplemented and elaborated upon these concepts, stating that "sour herbs can astringe, astringe; sweet herbs can nourish, moisten, and moderate; pungent herbs can disperse, open, move, and promote; and salty herbs can descend, soften, harden, and nourish."

[0028] The pungent herbs in the wolfberry nutritional seasoning paste, such as cloves, star anise, cinnamon, long pepper, dried ginger, Sichuan pepper, galangal, and black pepper, can promote the flow of body fluids to the whole body, strengthen kidney yang to vaporize body fluids, and moisturize the body. This encompasses the functions of vaporizing body fluids to nourish the body. Long-term use can eliminate dampness and turbidity, strengthen the spleen and stomach, and open the pores.

[0029] Sour herbs such as hawthorn, dried plum, and jujube seed have the effects of astringing and consolidating, reducing urination, stopping leukorrhea, stopping bleeding, and stopping sweating, thus preventing the loss of yin fluids in the body. They can also astringe the lungs, stop coughing, calm the mind and soothe the nerves, generate fluids and moisten dryness, and improve appetite.

[0030] Salty medicinal herbs such as kelp, pearl, oyster, cassia seed, and abalone shell can purge, soften hardened masses, disperse nodules, nourish the kidneys, invigorate the blood, strengthen yang, and replenish essence, thus increasing physical strength and spirit. Salty medicinal herbs also have anticoagulant, anti-cancer, and anti-connective tissue hyperplasia effects. They can also have sedative and anticonvulsant properties. Furthermore, salty medicinal herbs can promote diuresis and increase urine output.

[0031] Sweet-tasting herbs such as wolfberry and polygonatum can replenish the body's qi, blood, yin and yang, support the body's vital energy, invigorate the functions of the internal organs, harmonize the middle jiao, protect and enhance the digestive function of the spleen and stomach, coordinate the functions of the herbs, and improve the taste.

[0032] Fragrant herbs such as nutmeg and fennel can warm the kidneys, soothe the waist and knees, dispel cold from the liver and kidneys in the lower abdomen, regulate qi and harmonize the middle jiao, stimulate appetite and prevent cold pain in the hypochondrium and abdomen.

[0033] Each herb possesses a flavor and properties, which vary in strength and density, as well as in weight and consistency. These differences are significant, and their properties are extremely complex. Only through a comprehensive analysis of all factors and practical application can a correct conclusion be reached. The efficacy of this formula is determined based on its location and application to the corresponding organs and meridians in the human body.

[0034] Drugs have different properties and produce different effects. These different effects are the connections between the meridians, which is the meridian tropism of the drug. Which organ, viscera, or collateral a drug tropisms to is ultimately determined by the actual effect it exhibits in practical application.

[0035] This formula enters the Heart, Liver, Spleen, Lung, Kidney, Stomach, Gallbladder, Large Intestine, Small Intestine, and Bladder meridians. This is determined by its properties, taste, and actual effects. The composition of this formula consists of the qualitative nature of the medicinal flavors, the orientation of the medicinal properties, and the location of the meridians it enters. This constitutes the theory of the application of the formula's medicinal properties. Only through extensive and long-term practical application can the functional characteristics of this formula be more fully explained, and only then can its more important significance be demonstrated.

[0036] This formula is non-toxic, as confirmed by long-term observation and application. It is harmless to the human body. Through compatibility analysis and property comparison, this formula is mild in nature, suitable for long-term and prolonged use, and highly safe. Even with excessive or large-scale use, it does not cause significant discomfort or harm to the human body. The formula's rational combination of ingredients mutually restrains each other's properties. For example, it can prevent heatiness in people prone to it, dispel cold in people with cold constitutions with long-term use, eliminate dampness in people with dampness with long-term use, and replenish deficiencies in people with weak constitutions with long-term use.

[0037] Through compatibility, the effects are enhanced, the scope of action and adaptability are expanded, environmental requirements are reduced, and adverse reactions are prevented. The key lies in its rational compatibility, which is of great significance to efficacy, high efficiency and safety.

[0038] The combination of drugs in this formula is based on mutual reinforcement and mutual enhancement: that is, when two or more drugs with the same properties and functions are used together, they can enhance the original function and have a certain synergistic effect.

[0039] Throughout human history, the use of salt as the sole seasoning has led to a continuous increase in the prevalence of hypertension, hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, hyperuricemia, lung disease, and kidney disease. The main reason for these diseases is the excessive intake of various seasonings such as salt, monosodium glutamate (MSG), and soy sauce.

[0040] This formula is used to adjust the body's taste; using a single herb alone is unlikely to achieve the desired effect. It must be based on the principles of traditional Chinese medicine compatibility, considering the properties of each herb, and combining them in combination to achieve good results. Through rational combination, the application range is expanded, making it suitable for a wider range of people, enhancing efficacy, and promoting synergy to achieve the desired effect. Based on the characteristics of the herbs, their cold and hot properties interact and antagonize each other, reducing the likelihood of some individuals experiencing heatiness.

[0041] Regarding the contraindications of this formula: from drug compatibility, contraindications during pregnancy to dietary restrictions, the formula has undergone long-term, scientific, reasonable and correct comparative experiments and research.

[0042] A 10-year application experiment involving nearly 1,000 people from 100 families revealed no adverse reactions (such as indigestion, gastrointestinal irritation, or reactions related to warming, dispersing, causing internal heat, or being exposed to cold). No adverse effects such as increased blood pressure, blood sugar, or blood lipids were observed.

[0043] Currently, there is only one type of salty food that humans use to adjust and improve taste: salt. This method can replace salt and reduce excessive salt intake, which can lead to various diseases.

[0044] Regarding dosage application: Traditional Chinese medicine theory emphasizes not only efficacy but also the prescribed dosages of various herbs. The dosages in this formula are broadly divided into five groups based on the flavor of the herbs: ① Sweet group (1000g each of wolfberry and polygonatum); ② Salty group (400g each of kelp, pearl, oyster shell, cassia seed, and abalone shell); ③ Spicy group (200g each of clove, star anise, dried ginger, cinnamon, Sichuan pepper, galangal, black pepper, and long pepper); ④ Sour group (200g each of jujube seed, hawthorn, and dried plum); ⑤ Aromatic group (200g each of cardamom, nutmeg, and fennel). All the herbs in this formula possess the five flavor-related characteristics of pungent, sweet, sour, salty, and aromatic. The earliest record of the five flavors is found in the *Lüshi Chunqiu*, which states, "In matters of harmonization, one must use sweet, sour, bitter, pungent, and salty, in order and in varying amounts." The dosage range in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia is relatively wide, and the actual application range and dosage are even wider. First of all, under the premise of drug safety, the dosage should be adjusted according to different people and different physical conditions.

[0045] Regarding usage: Due to the varying properties and performance of this product, it should be adjusted according to individual taste. The application method is quite flexible in terms of environmental conditions; adjust the consistency based on the frequency of consumption to achieve the optimal taste for each individual.

[0046] Zhongning wolfberry nutritional seasoning paste contains all the beneficial nutrients found in salt, soy sauce, and MSG. It also possesses the various tastes and flavors found in salt, soy sauce, and MSG. Furthermore, it retains the various colors found in salt, soy sauce, and MSG. The ultimate goal is to replace all other seasonings, including salt, soy sauce, and MSG, with Zhongning wolfberry nutritional seasoning paste.

[0047] The formula for this goji berry nutritional seasoning paste is based on five interconnected flavors (spicy, sweet, sour, aromatic, and salty) that affect human taste. The first flavor, sweet: 1000g each of goji berries and polygonatum; the second flavor, salty: 400g each of kelp, pearl, oyster, cassia seed, and abalone shell; the third flavor, sour: 200g each of hawthorn, dried plum, and jujube seed; the fourth flavor, aromatic: 200g each of cardamom, nutmeg, and fennel; and the fifth flavor, spicy: 300g each of cloves, star anise, cinnamon, long pepper, dried ginger, Sichuan pepper, galangal, and black pepper. These ingredients work synergistically, guided by the principles of mutual reinforcement and mutual enhancement in traditional Chinese medicine. This allows them to fully exert their original effects in the paste, and further enhance the desired results through mutual cooperation and synergy.
