Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of functional food technology, specifically relating to a beauty-enhancing and skin-nourishing Polygonatum and Rose Drink and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] The statements herein provide only background information in relation to this invention and do not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) emphasizes the relationship between skin appearance and the physiological and pathological aspects of internal organs. Internal herbal remedies can achieve beautifying effects by regulating Qi and blood, and the internal organs. Currently identified mechanisms of action include preventing oxidative damage, gene regulation, and immune modulation. Combinations of Qi- and blood-tonifying herbs often use Angelica sinensis as the core ingredient, combined with other herbs. Core prescriptions contain Lycium barbarum, Angelica sinensis, Poria cocos, Glycyrrhiza uralensis, Ziziphus jujuba, Ginseng, and Astragalus membranaceus, similar to modifications of the Sijunzi Decoction and Danggui Buxue Decoction, with a focus on simultaneously tonifying Qi and blood. Existing technology discloses an oral liquid for beauty and anti-aging prepared from Astragalus membranaceus, Polygonatum sibiricum, Rehmannia glutinosa, Rosa rugosa, collagen peptides, elastin peptides, and hyaluronic acid, used to improve skin aging.

[0004] However, traditional Chinese medicine formulas are mostly prepared as decoctions, which are cumbersome to prepare, difficult to preserve, and inconvenient to carry. As people's demands for the palatability of medicines increase, the unpleasant taste of traditional Chinese medicine reduces people's willingness to take it. A product that can both have beauty and skin-nourishing effects and be more easily accepted and used would have a greater market prospect. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this invention is to provide a beauty and skin-nourishing Huangjing rose drink and its preparation method.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solution: In a first aspect, the present invention provides a beauty and skin-nourishing Polygonatum and Rose Drink, comprising the following components by weight: Prepared Polygonatum sibiricum 40-60 parts, mulberry 20-35 parts, dried tangerine peel 10-25 parts, roselle 5-10 parts and rose petals 2-6 parts.

[0007] This invention combines the effects of five ingredients: Polygonatum sibiricum, mulberry, dried tangerine peel, hibiscus, and rose. Polygonatum sibiricum is rich in polysaccharides and flavonoids, which can replenish qi and yin, strengthen the spleen and moisten the lungs, and benefit the kidneys and replenish essence. It also has antioxidant, immune-enhancing, and blood sugar-regulating effects. Mulberry is rich in anthocyanins, which can nourish yin and blood, promote body fluid production and moisten dryness. It also has anti-aging and anemia-improving effects. Dried tangerine peel is rich in volatile oils, which can regulate qi and strengthen the spleen, and dry dampness and resolve phlegm. The sweet and sour floral aroma of hibiscus and rose can improve the flavor of the drink. Hibiscus is rich in vitamin C, which has antioxidant and blood lipid-regulating effects. Rose has a fragrant aroma and can soothe the liver and relieve depression, promote blood circulation and regulate menstruation, and beautify the skin.

[0008] In some embodiments of the invention, the beauty and skin-nourishing Polygonatum and Rose Drink comprises 48-50 parts of processed Polygonatum, 20-28 parts of mulberry, 13-15 parts of dried tangerine peel, 6-7 parts of roselle, and 3-4 parts of rose petals.

[0009] In some embodiments of the invention, the beauty and skin-nourishing Polygonatum and Rose Drink comprises 50 parts of processed Polygonatum, 28 parts of mulberry, 13 parts of dried tangerine peel, 6 parts of roselle, and 3 parts of rose petals.

[0010] Secondly, the present invention provides a method for preparing a beauty-enhancing and skin-nourishing Polygonatum and Rose Drink, comprising the following steps: Step 1: Steam the Polygonatum sibiricum nine times to obtain processed Polygonatum sibiricum, cut it into pieces, and decoct it to obtain Polygonatum sibiricum extract; Step 2: Boil mulberries to obtain mulberry extract, and extract tangerine peel, roselle, and rose petals separately by soaking them in water to obtain tangerine peel extract, roselle extract, and rose petal extract. Step 3: Mix the extracts of Polygonatum sibiricum, mulberry, dried tangerine peel, roselle, and rose, filter, and concentrate.

[0011] Further, in step 1, the prepared Polygonatum is cut into small pieces of 2-4 mm or into thin strips of 3 mm length, added with 8-12 times the amount of water, soaked at 60-80℃ for 1-2 hours, heated to boiling for 1-2 hours, filtered, and the residue is boiled with 8-12 times the amount of water for 0.5-1 hours. The two filtrates are combined to obtain Polygonatum extract.

[0012] Further, in step 2, the mulberries are washed, soaked in 8-12 times the amount of water at 50-70℃ for 1-2 hours, boiled for 1-1.5 hours, filtered, and the residue is boiled in 8-12 times the amount of water for 0.5-1 hours. The two filtrates are combined to obtain mulberry extract.

[0013] Further, in step 2, the tangerine peel is cut into strips, 8-12 times the amount of water is added, and it is extracted at 75-95℃ for 1-3 hours. After filtration, the tangerine peel extract is obtained. The filter residue is then extracted with 8-12 times the amount of water at 75-95℃ for 1-2 hours. This process is repeated 2-3 times.

[0014] Add 8-12 times the amount of water to the roselle, extract at 45-70℃ for 1-2 hours, filter to obtain roselle extract, and repeat 2-3 times.

[0015] Add 8-10 times the amount of water to the rose petals, refrigerate for 8-10 hours, and then extract using ultrasound for 1-2 hours to obtain rose petal extract.

[0016] Further, in step 3, after combining the extracts, pass them through a 400-500 mesh sieve and concentrate them under reduced pressure to obtain the final product.

[0017] In some embodiments of the present invention, in step 3, the solids are concentrated under reduced pressure to between 14% and 18% and the density is between 1.0 and 1.1 g / mL, then filled and sealed, and sterilized at high temperature to obtain a beauty and skin-nourishing Polygonatum Rose Drink.

[0018] Thirdly, the present invention provides the application of the beauty and skin-nourishing Polygonatum and Rose Drink described in the first aspect in the preparation of functional foods.

[0019] Compared with existing technologies, the beauty and skin-nourishing Polygonatum and Rose Drink provided by this invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. The beauty and skin care Huangjing Rose Drink provided by this invention has an exquisite combination of five ingredients, all of which are food and medicine of the same origin, safe and mild. The sweet and sour floral fragrance of rose and roselle, combined with the aftertaste of tangerine peel, is more acceptable than traditional Chinese medicine decoctions. Tangerine peel and roselle balance the richness of Huangjing and mulberry, avoiding the inability of the body to tolerate the supplement.

[0020] 2. This invention optimizes the process to retain the beneficial components of each raw material, resulting in a small quantity of pure ingredients that are easy to digest and absorb. It is prepared into an oral liquid form, which is convenient to consume and has a sweet and sour taste, making it suitable for long-term use.

[0021] 3. This invention's beauty and skin-nourishing Huangjing Rose Drink combines the effects of five ingredients. The resulting product is nourishing without being drying, and moisturizing without being greasy. It can replenish qi and blood, nourish the liver and kidneys, regulate qi and strengthen the spleen, and beautify the skin. It is suitable for addressing common sub-health issues in modern people. Long-term use can improve physical condition, enhance immunity, and delay aging, making it an excellent choice for health preservation. Attached Figure Description

[0062] Comparative Example 1 Beauty and skin care Huangjing Rose Drink The raw material composition is as follows: 51 parts by weight of processed Polygonatum sibiricum, 25 parts by weight of mulberry, 10 parts by weight of dried tangerine peel, 9 parts by weight of hibiscus, and 5 parts by weight of rose.

[0063] The preparation method provided in Example 1 is used, except that the Polygonatum sibiricum used is cut into shreds and then steamed and processed nine times to make Polygonatum sibiricum shreds.

[0064] Comparative Example 2 Beauty and skin care Huangjing Rose Drink The raw material composition is as follows: 48 parts by weight of processed Polygonatum sibiricum, 20 parts by weight of mulberry, 14 parts by weight of dried tangerine peel, 9 parts by weight of hibiscus, 5 parts by weight of rose, and 4 parts by weight of honey.

[0065] The preparation method provided in Example 1 is used, except that fresh mulberry juice is used. The fresh mulberry juice is extracted, and the mulberry residue is soaked in 10 times the amount of water at 60°C for 2 hours, heated to boiling for 1 hour, filtered, and the residue is boiled in 10 times the amount of water for 1 hour. The mulberry juice and the two filtrates are combined to obtain mulberry extract.

[0066] Comparative Example 3 Beauty and skin care Huangjing Rose Drink The raw material composition is as follows: 48 parts by weight of processed Polygonatum sibiricum, 20 parts by weight of mulberry, 14 parts by weight of dried tangerine peel, 9 parts by weight of hibiscus, 5 parts by weight of rose, and 4 parts by weight of honey.

[0067] Using the preparation method provided in Example 1, the difference lies in the addition of honey in the later stage of concentration to increase the solids to 16%, resulting in a beauty-enhancing and skin-nourishing Polygonatum Rose Drink.

[0068] Experimental Example 1 Sensory evaluation Twenty women were randomly selected to rate the beverage according to this standard. The rating criteria included: color (uniform and consistent, brownish-red or dark brown, 15 points); liquid state (liquid, fluid, not viscous, 10 points); impurities (no visible foreign matter, no raw material substances, 10 points); still and dynamic aroma (no off-odors, roasted aroma, slightly acidic, with rose and red fruit aromas, 15 points); top taste (sweet and sour, not cloying, not pungent, 10 points); middle taste (rich fruity aroma, mainly red fruit, 10 points); base taste (long-lasting rose aroma, not astringent, 10 points); and overall structure (refreshing taste, balanced sweet and sour flavor, rich fruity aroma, good harmony, long-lasting aftertaste, 20 points). The average scores were calculated, and the results are shown in Table 1. Table 1 Summary of Sensory Evaluation Results

[0069] As shown in Table 1, the sensory evaluation of the prepared Polygonatum and Rose Beauty Drink was conducted according to this invention. Analysis of the Polygonatum and Rose Beauty Drinks from Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-3 revealed that in Examples 1-5, with the increase of mulberry raw material, the color of the Polygonatum and Rose Drink became more reddish. Simultaneously, the fruity aroma in the mid-tones of the taste became more intense, and the sweetness decreased, making it more acceptable to consumers. The Polygonatum and Rose Beauty Drinks from Examples 1-3 had a too dark color, and the roasted aroma of Polygonatum was not prominent. This was mainly due to the low amount of Polygonatum added and the excessive amount of mulberry added. The Polygonatum and Rose Beauty Drinks from Examples 1-3 had a pungent sour taste in the initial taste and a green plant flavor in the aftertaste. This was likely due to the high amounts of hibiscus, dried tangerine peel, and rose petals added. In Examples 4-5, the amounts of hibiscus and dried tangerine peel added to the Polygonatum and Rose Beauty Drinks decreased, the pungent sour taste disappeared, and the acidity became milder. In Examples 1-5, as the amount of double-petaled rose added decreased, the astringent taste of the plant decreased, and the rose flavor became more prominent. The presence of green plants and astringency in the previous examples may have been due to the increased amount of double-petaled rose added, which increased the release of astringency from the rose stalks during the extraction process, masking the aroma of the rose and other raw materials.

[0070] Comparative Example 1: The beauty and health-enhancing Polygonatum Rose Drink has a brownish color, a cloyingly sweet taste, and contains small impurities. This may be due to the naturally sweet taste of the Polygonatum fibrous material and the excessively fine mesh size of the extract filtration. Comparative Example 2: The beauty and health-enhancing Polygonatum Rose Drink has a deep purplish-red color and a poor taste. This may be due to an excessive content of freshly squeezed mulberry juice and mulberry residue extract, resulting in a deep purple color that masks the flavor characteristics of other ingredients, leading to an unbalanced taste. Comparative Example 3: The beauty and health-enhancing Polygonatum Rose Drink has a cloyingly sweet taste with an unbalanced sweet and sour flavor and a glossy appearance. This may be due to the addition of honey during the later stages of extract concentration, causing an imbalance in the taste of the beauty and health-enhancing Polygonatum Rose Drink.

[0071] Comparing Examples 4 and 5 by adjusting the ratio of processed Polygonatum and dried tangerine peel, it can be seen that the beauty and skin-nourishing Polygonatum and rose drink of Example 5 has a harmonious taste, a more balanced sweet and sour flavor, prominent layers of taste in the top, middle and base notes, a rich red fruity aroma, and a more lasting rose fragrance in the aftertaste, resulting in the best overall taste.

[0072] Experimental Example 2 To verify the claimed efficacy of the Huangjing Rose Drink for beauty and skin care described in this invention as "nourishing yin and replenishing blood, anti-oxidation and beautifying the skin", and to provide modern biological evidence for the beneficial effects of this invention, a preliminary human observation was conducted for 28 days.

[0073] 1. Observation Objects and Methods We recruited 120 healthy female volunteers aged 25-45 as observation subjects. They were randomly divided into three groups of 40 each.

[0074] Experimental group: Subjects took the beauty and skin care Huangjing Rose Drink prepared according to the formula and method described in Example 5 of this invention (the raw material ratio is: 50 parts by weight of Huangjing, 28 parts by weight of mulberry, 13 parts by weight of tangerine peel, 6 parts by weight of hibiscus, and 3 parts by weight of rose) twice a day, 10 grams each time.

[0075] Blank control group: No supplements were taken, and the diet and lifestyle were the same as the experimental group.

[0076] Control group: Takes commercially available compound donkey-hide gelatin oral liquid (donkey-hide gelatin, red ginseng, prepared rehmannia root, codonopsis root and hawthorn), and has the same diet and lifestyle as the experimental group.

[0077] Fasting venous blood samples were collected from subjects before starting treatment (D0 time point) and after 28 days of continuous treatment (D28 time point) to measure complete blood count, inflammatory markers, and renal function-related indicators. The main observation indicators included: hemoglobin (Hb), reflecting the body's oxygen-carrying and blood status; high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP), reflecting the level of systemic inflammation; and creatinine (CREA) and uric acid (UA), used for safety monitoring.

[0078] 2. Observation Results 2.1 The trends observed in some key indicators are as follows: (1) Effect on hemoglobin (Hb) levels: In subjects with complete data, a trend of stable or positive improvement in hemoglobin levels was observed.

[0079] (2) Effect on the inflammatory marker C-reactive protein (CRP): As a sensitive marker of oxidative stress and chronic low-grade inflammation in the body, changes in CRP levels are noteworthy. Observations showed that the CRP levels of some subjects decreased or remained at extremely low levels after taking the product.

[0080] (3) Safety observation: During the entire 28-day observation period, the key indicators of renal function (creatinine and uric acid) of all subjects fluctuated within the normal clinical reference range, and no consistent or clinically significant abnormal changes were observed due to product intervention.

[0081] The results are shown in Table 2: Table 2 Test Results of Some Key Indicators

[0082] As shown in Table 2, Subject 3 (initial Hb level of 95 g / L, below the lower limit of normal) showed a significant improvement, with Hb level rising to 119 g / L after 28 days of treatment. Subject 6's Hb level increased from 144 g / L to 148 g / L. The Hb levels of most other subjects remained stable during the observation period, showing no downward trend. These results indicate that the product of this invention helps improve or maintain the body's blood and qi balance.

[0083] Subject 1's CRP decreased from 2.72 mg / L to 0.93 mg / L; Subject 11's CRP decreased from 0.69 mg / L to 0.29 mg / L. Most subjects had low baseline CRP levels (<0.1 mg / L) and maintained low levels throughout the observation period. This trend suggests that the product of this invention may help alleviate latent inflammatory conditions in the body.

[0084] The safety results confirm the safety of the pure medicinal and edible raw materials used in this invention.

[0085] 2.2 For subject number 12, a comprehensive evaluation of their condition before and after intervention was conducted using modern skin imaging (VISIA), blood biochemical indicators, and digital TCM constitution identification technology. Results showed that within the 28-day intervention period, the product, Huangjing Rose Decoction for Beauty and Nourishment, effectively regulated their "spleen deficiency with special constitution" (pulse changed from "knotted string" to "string") while simultaneously achieving a significant 36.9% improvement in skin inflammatory redness (VISIA red area). This process is as follows... Figure 1As shown.

[0086] 1) Before intervention (D0) (1) Traditional Chinese medicine constitution: weak spleen qi, stagnation of qi, and allergic tendency.

[0087] Constitutional differentiation: Qi deficiency constitution (spleen qi deficiency); with special predisposition.

[0088] Key symptoms: fatigue, night sweats after activity, anxiety and vivid dreams, acne-prone skin, allergies, and scanty menstruation.

[0089] Tongue appearance: The tongue is swollen, with teeth marks and cracks. This suggests spleen deficiency, poor digestion and absorption, insufficient production of qi and blood, and depletion of yin fluids.

[0090] Pulse characteristics: The pulse at the right hand's Guan position is knotted and wiry. "Wiry" indicates stagnation of Qi, and "knotted" (irregular pulse rhythm) further suggests stagnation in the flow of Qi and blood. The Guan position corresponds to the spleen and stomach in the middle Jiao, and this pulse directly confirms that "spleen Qi deficiency" has led to abnormal Qi movement in the middle Jiao.

[0091] (2) Internal blood: significant systemic inflammation C-reactive protein (CRP): 7.88 mg / L. This value is significantly higher than the normal reference range (0-5 mg / L) and is a sensitive indicator of the presence of clear acute or chronic systemic inflammation in the body.

[0092] Related Interpretation: The traditional Chinese medicine concept of "special predisposition" (allergic constitution) highly aligns with modern medicine's concept of "immune disorders and chronic low-grade inflammation." High CRP levels provide objective, quantitative evidence of this underlying physiological imbalance.

[0093] (3) External skin: obvious inflammatory redness and pigmentation VISIA red zone feature count: 217. This value is high among subjects, indicating facial capillary dilation and congestion, a direct manifestation of skin inflammation.

[0094] VISIA brown spot / UV spot characteristic counts: 247 and 676 respectively. This indicates a pigmentation problem.

[0095] Related Interpretation: Her redness is not simply due to sensitive skin. Its root cause is likely closely related to internal systemic inflammation (high CRP) and the TCM pathogenesis of qi deficiency and blood stasis, which leads to heat.

[0096] (4) Baseline linkage diagram Before the intervention, subject number 12 exhibited typical symptoms of "deficiency in the root and excess in the branch"—deficiency of spleen qi as the root cause, and qi stagnation and internal inflammation as the branch symptoms, ultimately manifesting as inflammatory redness of the skin.

[0097] 2) Core of Intervention – Analysis of Product Formulas for Syndrome-Based Treatment The formula for the beauty-enhancing and skin-nourishing Polygonatum and Rose Drink is precisely targeted at its constitution and pathogenesis: The principal ingredient (Polygonatum sibiricum): tonifies Qi and nourishes Yin, strengthens the spleen and moistens the lungs. It directly replenishes the root cause of "spleen Qi deficiency," enhances the body's digestive function, and promotes the production of Qi and blood from the source.

[0098] The auxiliary ingredients (Xinhui tangerine peel, Pingyin rose): regulate qi and relieve depression, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. Targeting the pathogenesis of "qi stagnation" (wiry pulse), they unblock the middle jiao, assisting the Huangjing (Polygonatum sibiricum) in tonifying without causing stagnation. The blood-activating power of rose also helps improve facial blood circulation.

[0099] The accompanying herbs (mulberry, roselle, etc.) nourish yin and blood, and clear heat. They also take into account the heat generated due to deficiency and the possible yin damage (cracks on the tongue), thus balancing the entire formula.

[0100] The beauty and skin-nourishing Huangjing Rose Drink's effects of "tonifying the spleen and replenishing qi to strengthen the foundation, regulating qi and promoting blood circulation to relieve stagnation, and clearing away stagnation and heat to treat the symptoms" are highly consistent with the constitution of subject number 12, who had "qi deficiency and stagnation".

[0101] 3) Post-intervention (1) Positive outcome in TCM condition: Qi flow tends to be smooth, and key pulse changes are shown in Table 3: Table 3 Changes in pulse before and after intervention

[0102] Related Interpretation: The disappearance of the "knotted" pulse is the most significant finding in this observation according to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It indicates that the product's spleen-strengthening and qi-regulating effects effectively alleviated the stagnation of qi in the middle jiao (middle burner), making the flow of qi and blood smoother and more regular. This is a core indicator of the effectiveness of "internal regulation" and an improvement in physical condition.

[0103] (2) Significant improvement in skin appearance: inflammatory redness subsided considerably. like Figure 2 As shown, the VISIA red area feature count decreased from 217 to 137, an improvement of 36.9%, making it one of the subjects with the most significant improvement.

[0104] Related Interpretation: Improved internal Qi circulation (improved pulse) and a decrease in underlying inflammation levels work together to improve skin microcirculation, leading to a reduction in inflammatory capillary dilation. This is the most direct evidence that "internal regulation" drives "external nourishment."

[0105] The significant synchronous improvement in pulse and skin indicators observed on DAY-28 (post-intervention) suggests that the internal inflammatory environment was positively regulated. Furthermore, the VISIA brown spots also improved by 30.0%, possibly related to improved blood circulation and enhanced metabolic capacity.

[0106] 3. Conclusion Preliminary observations indicate that the beauty-enhancing and skin-nourishing Polygonatum and Rose product prepared according to this invention, after 28 days of continuous use, exhibited two potential positive effects in female subjects: First, it helped improve or maintain hemoglobin levels, providing verifiable modern hematological evidence for the traditional Chinese medicine efficacy of "nourishing yin and replenishing blood"; second, it helped reduce or maintain low levels of the serum inflammatory marker C-reactive protein, suggesting that it may indirectly exert its "antioxidant and skin-nourishing" effects by alleviating oxidative stress and latent inflammation in the body. Simultaneously, liver and kidney function indicators remained stable during the observation period, further corroborating the safety and suitability for long-term use of the product of this invention.

[0107] In summary, this invention not only theoretically achieves synergistic effects through the combination of principal, assistant, adjuvant, and guide ingredients, but also obtains empirical support from modern biological indicators through the aforementioned preliminary human observations, demonstrating the beneficial progress of this invention in terms of efficacy verifiability.

[0108] This embodiment is for illustrative purposes only, and the scope of protection of this invention is not limited thereto. Various modifications and variations can be made to this invention by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this invention should be included within the scope of protection of this invention.
