TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of biological medicine, and particularly relates to a phosphorus shrimp oil soft capsule which is helpful to improve bone density. BACKGROUND
[0002] Bone mineral density is the main index of bone strength, an important marker of bone quality, and an important basis for reflecting the degree of osteoporosis and predicting the risk of fracture. The bone density of a human being reaches a peak at about 30 years old and then decreases year by year due to bone loss with the increase of age. It is reported that the amount of bone loss is generally 20-30% of the peak value, and the maximum can reach 40% after 60 years old, regardless of men and women. With the increase of age, compared with young people under 30 years old under the same nutritional conditions, middle-aged and old people still inevitably have a large amount of bone loss, a decrease in bone density, a decrease in bone strength, and gradually become porous and easy to break, so that middle-aged and old people often have unprovoked fractures due to osteoporosis caused by a decrease in bone density. Nowadays, people pay more and more attention to the quality of life, enhance the ability to delay aging, increase bone density and strength, and delay the health care drugs of human body aging, and thus the development of health care food for increasing bone density and delaying aging is very necessary and has positive practical significance.
[0003] Antarctic krill is a small crustacean with a body length of up to 6 cm and a lifespan of 5-6 years, and is the largest single species of biomass in the world. Krill oil is naturally rich in EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), as well as choline, phospholipids and astaxanthin, and is a very good raw material for nutritional and health care food, which is rich in super antioxidant astaxanthin, Omega-3 fatty acids and phospholipids. Omega-3 fatty acids can promote osteoblast differentiation and maturation, while inhibiting osteoclast activity, thereby increasing bone density. Phospholipid Omega-3 is more easily absorbed by the human body, promotes calcium absorption, regulates bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell function, and promotes bone formation. The antioxidant effect of astaxanthin can also protect bone cells from free radical damage.
[0004] Alkaline protein generally refers to alkaline protein, and alkaline protein generally refers to protein with pH greater than 7 under isoelectric point conditions. Colostrum alkaline protein can directly act on bone cells, and can also promote normal metabolism of bone, maintain dynamic balance of cells, promote faster growth and development of bone, and also can repair its own bone quality.
[0005] The phosphorus shrimp oil is matched with the basic protein, the anti-inflammatory environment of the phosphorus shrimp oil can improve the sensitivity of the basic protein to the osteoblast, and the osteogenesis of the basic protein further depends on the DHA provided by the phosphorus shrimp oil to maintain the cell membrane fluidity. The oyster powder is matched with the phosphorus shrimp oil, the calcium zinc of the oyster powder is combined with the phospholipid of the phosphorus shrimp oil to form a lipid-mineral complex, which promotes the transmembrane transport and the intrabone deposition. The phosphorus shrimp oil, the basic protein and the oyster powder realize the positive balance of the bone metabolism through the triple path of "inhibiting bone resorption (phosphorus shrimp oil)-promoting bone formation (basic protein)-providing mineralization raw materials (oyster powder)".
[0006] In the prior art, oil products are usually sold to the terminal in the form of soft capsules, that is, a certain amount of Antarctic krill oil is packaged in a soft capsule shell of various shapes to obtain an Antarctic krill oil soft capsule. The calcium carbonate in the content of the soft capsule is heavy and prone to stratification, and usually needs to add beeswax as a suspending agent. After adding beeswax to the content, stratification and precipitation of beeswax, poor flowability and other problems are prone to occur, resulting in unstable filling amount of the soft capsule during filling, affecting the yield of the finished soft capsule. Patent CN201711316031.8 discloses a soft capsule containing astaxanthin, the content of the soft capsule includes astaxanthin, calcium carbonate, edible oil and beeswax, the weight fractions are 75-85 parts, 295-320 parts, 120-140 parts and 12-15 parts respectively, wherein the astaxanthin is astaxanthin oil; the content of the soft capsule is a suspension with high solid content, and has good uniformity and physical stability. SUMMARY
[0007] The purpose of the present application is to provide a phosphorus shrimp oil soft capsule with good content flowability, uniform and stable quality, which can help improve bone density.
[0008] The technical solution of the present application is: a phosphorus shrimp oil soft capsule which can help improve bone density, the content includes 85-90 parts of phosphorus shrimp oil, 5-15 parts of colostrum basic protein, 200 parts of oyster calcium, 375-379 parts of perilla seed oil and 28 parts of beeswax by weight, and the phosphorus shrimp oil soft capsule is prepared by the following method: (S1) 28 parts of beeswax are added to 192-200 parts of perilla seed oil, heated to 65-70℃ together, and then cooled to 35-45℃ after the beeswax is melted, 80-90 parts of phosphorus shrimp oil are added and mixed uniformly, and then cooled to 4℃ and left for 2-3h to obtain an oil gel; (S2) 7-10 parts of colostrum basic protein are added to 179-183 parts of perilla seed oil, mixed and stirred for 25min, and then the temperature is lowered to 4℃ and 200 parts of oyster calcium are added, and the mixture is continuously stirred for 20min to obtain a mixture; (S3) the oil gel and the mixture are mixed and stirred, the temperature is slowly raised to 35-45℃ at a rate of 2℃ / min during stirring, and then stirred uniformly, and then sieved through an 80 mesh sieve to obtain the content; (S4) a capsule shell is prepared, the pill is pressed, and the phosphorus shrimp oil soft capsule is obtained.
[0009] The present application adds phosphorus shrimp oil and oyster calcium into perilla seed oil respectively, improves the uniformity of the content, and improves the flowability of the content. Phosphorus shrimp oil is rich in phospholipids, which can reduce the interfacial tension between beeswax and perilla seed oil, improve the dispersion degree of beeswax in perilla seed oil, and form a stable gel network during the standing process after cooling. The addition of oyster calcium to perilla seed oil at 4℃ has the following effects on the uniformity of the content: first, perilla seed oil is in a semi-solid state at a low temperature of 4℃, which has a viscosity control effect, and the increase in the viscosity of perilla seed oil physically prevents the sedimentation of oyster calcium particles therein; second, it has a temperature-phase transition synergistic effect, the saturated fatty acid chains in perilla seed oil form a microcrystalline region, and a dynamic gel network is constructed through hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces, which can wrap oyster calcium particles to form a steric hindrance effect, preventing oyster calcium from contacting with basic proteins to form a precipitate; third, the rheological characteristics of the content are optimized, and the storage modulus (G') of the semi-solid perilla seed oil is significantly higher than the loss modulus (G'') at low temperature, showing an elastic effect similar to a solid. When mixed with an oil gel, this property can maintain the continuous phase structure of the beeswax gel, avoiding the collapse of the beeswax gel network during the heating process, which leads to the precipitation of beeswax. During the slow heating process after the mixing of the oil gel and the mixture, the stable gel network structure of beeswax is maintained, avoiding the precipitation of beeswax, which ensures the uniform suspension of oyster calcium in the content and improves the flowability of the content.
[0010] The content prepared by the preparation method has uniform quality and good flowability, facilitating the canning of phosphorus shrimp oil soft capsules, and the obtained product has uniform and stable quality and a long shelf life.
[0011] The perilla seed oil in (S1) is 196 parts.
[0012] The weight ratio of perilla seed oil to beeswax in (S1) is 7:1, which can ensure the uniformity of the content and meet the canning efficiency, avoiding the difficulty in pressing pills due to poor flowability.
[0013] In (S2), 10 parts of colostrum basic protein are added to 181 parts of perilla seed oil, mixed and stirred for 25 min, and then the temperature is lowered to 4℃ and 200 parts of oyster calcium are added, and the mixing and stirring is continued for 20 min to obtain a mixture.
[0014] Oyster calcium is heavy and tends to settle after being added to perilla seed oil, and cannot be stably suspended in perilla seed oil. In the present application, the perilla seed oil is cooled to 4℃ to form a semi-solid state, the density difference with oyster calcium is reduced, the settling speed is reduced, and through mixing and stirring, the high viscosity of the low-temperature oil phase can enhance the shearing of oyster calcium particles, promoting uniform dispersion.
[0015] The oyster calcium is slowly added along the container wall, and stirring is carried out while adding; the stirring speed is 200 rpm when the oyster calcium is added, and the stirring speed is 300 rpm after the oyster calcium is added.
[0016] In order to prevent the oyster calcium from mixing a large amount of gas when mixed and stirred with the perilla seed oil, the oyster calcium needs to be slowly added along the container wall, and the stirring speed is low when the oyster calcium is added, so as to avoid excessive shearing and mixing of bubbles; after the oyster calcium is completely added, the stirring speed is increased, so as to fully destroy the oyster calcium agglomerates and improve the uniformity and stability of the contents.
[0017] In step S3, the mixture is stirred after being mixed with the oil gel, and the stirring is slowly heated to 40 DEG C at a rate of 2 DEG C / min; the stirring is carried out at 40 DEG C for 25 min, and the contents are obtained after being screened through an 80-mesh screen.
[0018] In step S3, the stirring speed is 100 rpm.
[0019] The contents include 85 parts of the krill oil, 10 parts of the colostrum basic protein, 200 parts of the oyster powder, 377 parts of the perilla seed oil and 28 parts of the beeswax.
[0020] The capsule skin includes 250 parts of gelatin, 250 parts of purified water, 130 parts of glycerol and 20 parts of titanium dioxide.
[0021] The application has the advantages and positive effects that the preparation method is simple, the cost is low, the contents have good fluidity, the soft capsules are suitable for canning, the prepared krill oil soft capsules are uniform and stable in quality, and have a long shelf life.

A+2.2S>L in Comparative Example 1, indicating that the content uniformity of calcium carbonate in Comparative Example 1 does not meet the requirements, and the oyster calcium is partially aggregated and precipitated, and the uniformity is poor, which does not meet the uniformity requirements of the soft capsule.
[0031] Experimental Example 2: Accelerated stability experiment One hundred soft capsules of euphausioid oil prepared in accordance with Example 1 and Example 2 of the present application and Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 are taken at random, and a constant temperature and humidity accelerated stability experiment is performed.
