Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of high-intensity mental work, and particularly relates to a chewing gum based on composite stimulation and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Olfactory stimulation has been proven to affect brain activity. Lavender, orange flower, etc. have a calming effect, while rosemary, mint, etc. can enhance alertness and attention. The main active ingredient of rosemary essential oil, 1,8-cineole, is a monoterpene compound closely related to cognitive function regulation. Studies have shown that 1,8-cineole has cognitive enhancement effects, can improve attention, and may delay the progression of neurodegenerative diseases by regulating acetylcholine metabolism, and shows good effects in improving cognitive dysfunction in patients with Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia. Chewing is similar to a kind of exercise, which can enhance cognitive function by promoting brain blood circulation, activating the cerebral cortex (especially the prefrontal cortex), and enhancing neuronal connections.
[0003] In the field of cognitive science, working memory enhancement has always been a research hotspot. Existing methods mainly include non-invasive neural stimulation technology and working memory training. Although working memory training can improve the cognitive function of people of all ages, it has problems such as long training period (usually 1-4 weeks of continuous training) and insignificant effect. Although non-invasive neural stimulation technology (such as transcranial electrical stimulation and transcranial magnetic stimulation) has certain effects, it is limited by high cost and complex operation. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a safe, simple and suitable working memory enhancement method for daily application. SUMMARY
[0004] The purpose of the present application is to provide a chewing gum for promoting the rapid recovery of cognitive fatigue and a preparation method thereof.
[0005] A chewing gum based on composite stimulation comprises the following raw material components in parts by weight: 1,8-cineole 0.09-0.105 parts, gum base 40-45 parts, D-mannitol 25-35 parts, erythritol 8-15 parts, purified water 12-18 parts, caprylic capric glycerin 1-2 parts, soy lecithin 0.3-0.8 parts, gum arabic 0.2-0.4 parts, and carnauba wax 0.05-0.1 parts.
[0006] The preparation method of the chewing gum based on composite stimulation is carried out according to the following steps:
[0007] (1) Chewing gum adjuvant preparation: D-mannitol, erythritol and purified water were added to a reaction vessel, and stirred at 200 rpm-400 rpm for 8 min-12 min under the condition of 50 °C-55 °C oil bath heating, then gum arabic and carnauba wax were added in turn, and the stirring was continued for 10 min-20 min to form a homogeneous emulsion system;
[0008] (2) Gum base pretreatment: The gum base was placed in a 50 °C-55 °C oil bath pot and softened for 1 h-25 h, and stirred every 20 min-40 min during the process. The softened gum base was transferred to a 48 °C-50 °C constant temperature oven;
[0009] (3) Active ingredient pretreatment: 1,8-cineole was mixed with capryl capryl capryl glycerol ester at room temperature, and a stable microemulsion system was formed by using a high-pressure homogenizer at 40 MPa-80 MPa pressure for 2-4 cycles;
[0010] (4) The gum base pretreated in step (2) was placed in an oil bath at 45 °C-55 °C, and stirred at 45 rpm-55 rpm for 2 min-3 min. The adjuvant pretreated in step (1) was added, and the stirring speed was adjusted to 80 rpm-120 rpm for 6 min-10 min;
[0011] (5) Soybean lecithin was added, and the stirring speed was increased to 130 rpm-170 rpm for 2 min-4 min. The reaction vessel was cooled to 30 °C-50 °C, and the 1,8-cineole and capryl capryl capryl glycerol ester mixture prepared in step (3) was added at a rate of 0.5 mL / min-1.5 mL / min while stirring at 40 rpm-60 rpm. After the addition was completed, the stirring was continued at 60 rpm-100 rpm for 4 min-6 min;
[0012] (6) The mixture prepared in step (5) was naturally cooled to 20 °C-30 °C, and then pressed into a sugar blank by a tablet press. The sugar blank was cut into granules by a cutting machine.
[0013] The stirring was performed by a paddle stirrer with a paddle diameter of 7 cm.
[0014] The temperature of the high-pressure homogenizer in step (3) was 35 °C-45 °C.
[0015] The sugar blank in step (6) was 12 cm long, 6 cm wide, and 2 mm thick.
[0016] The granules in step (6) were 3 cm long, 1 cm wide, and 2 mm thick.
[0017] The training method for improving working memory using the chewing gum combined with computerized tasks, characterized in that the N-back task is used as the computerized training task, and the 1,8-eudesmol chewing gum is used in the training task, with a cycle of 3 consecutive days, and 1 hour of training arranged each day.
[0018] The 1 hour of training each day is as follows: the user enters a quiet, ventilated room with a temperature of 20-30℃, uses a computer installed with the N-back task to perform computerized task training, and simultaneously starts chewing the 1,8-eudesmol chewing gum. First, the spatial 3-back task is started, and training is performed for 3 minutes. After a 1-minute rest, the spatial 5-back task is started, and training is performed for 3 minutes. After a 1-minute rest, the adaptive N-back task is started, and training is performed for 3 minutes, with the adaptive N-back task repeated 4 times. The chewing gum is spit out, and a 10-minute rest is taken. The chewing gum is replaced, and the above training process is repeated once.
[0019] The adaptive N-back task is as follows: the load coefficient N of the current task is adjusted according to the performance of the previous module. If the response accuracy rate of the last block is higher than 85%, the load coefficient N of the current block will be increased by 1. Otherwise, the load coefficient N will be the same as that of the last block. In all subsequent training days, the starting load coefficient N is determined according to the N value at the end of the last training according to the above standard.
[0020] The use method of the 1,8-eudesmol chewing gum is as follows: when the training starts, the user synchronously chews the 1,8-eudesmol chewing gum at a frequency of 30-50 times / minute, and stops chewing at the end of each training task. Each piece of chewing gum is used to cover the entire training stage, and the chewing gum is replaced after the first stage is completed. The total daily amount is 2 pieces.
[0021] The present application is directed to the characteristics of low addition amount and poor water solubility of 1,8-eucalyptol. Traditional hydrophilic carriers represented by glycerol cannot achieve effective dissolution and stabilization. By screening, glyceryl caprylate and caprate are used as liposoluble carriers, which have excellent compatibility with terpenes and can form a stable system. Key process control points include: precise control of the temperature of each mixing stage to achieve the best emulsification effect; ensure uniform dispersion of each component by using a staged gradient stirring process; add active ingredients at room temperature. The last stage, the pretreated 1,8-eucalyptol-glyceryl caprylate and caprate mixture is added in the final mixing stage, which minimizes the impact of high temperature on active ingredients. This innovative process not only solves the stabilization problem of low content active ingredients, but also significantly improves the aroma retention rate of the product under storage conditions of 25℃, while achieving slow release and uniform distribution of the functional ingredient 1,8-eucalyptol monomer. The present application innovatively proposes a cognitive enhancement program combining 1,8-eucalyptol chewing gum with working memory training, breaking through the limitations of traditional non-invasive neural stimulation techniques such as transcranial electrical stimulation and transcranial magnetic stimulation. Compared with these technical solutions that require professional equipment, complex operation and high cost, the chewing gum intervention method of the present application has the advantages of safety, easy use, low cost and wide application scenarios. In terms of technical implementation, the present application develops a 1,8-eucalyptol monomer chewing gum, which successfully solves the technical problems of 1,8-eucalyptol monomer volatility and strong taste stimulation by optimizing the formula and preparation process. Using glyceryl caprylate and caprate as a fragrance locking carrier, through key technologies such as staged mixing and post-adding active ingredients, the active ingredients are maximized, the stability and slow release of the active ingredients are significantly improved, and the product has more lasting efficacy. The chewing gum is used during the execution of the training task, enhancing working memory capacity through compound stimulation. This program fully utilizes the functions of 1,8-eucalyptol, including anti-inflammatory and cognitive function enhancement. By combining compound stimulation with computerized task training, the limitations of traditional neural stimulation techniques requiring professional personnel and equipment are avoided, making working memory training not only safe and effective but also easy to operate. It is especially suitable for daily training of high brain load groups, memory decline groups and other groups that need cognitive enhancement. Compared with existing working memory training enhancement programs, the present application has the following advantages: high safety, good effect, short training period, wide use, and high compliance. It provides an innovative, practical and economical solution for cognitive function training and enhancement. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
