Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of food processing technology, and specifically relates to a method for preparing a nutritional bone calcium brick. Background Technology
[0002] With the fast pace of modern life and the deterioration of the living environment, nutritional diseases are becoming increasingly prevalent across all age groups. This includes children and adolescents experiencing stunted bone development, those recovering from surgery, and the elderly suffering from osteoporosis and chronic diseases caused by protein loss. Furthermore, advancements in medical technology are leading to increased life expectancy. As people age, various chronic diseases become more pronounced. All these symptoms are related to calcium deficiency, which is caused by poor overall nutrition leading to low calcium absorption and utilization. Calcium supplementation is not simply about adding calcium; it also requires supplementing with other nutrients such as protein.
[0003] Currently, according to the investigation results of relevant departments, the manifestations of calcium deficiency in the human body vary greatly at different ages, and generally show the following symptoms:
[0004] I. Children
[0005] Night crying, easily startled, excessive sweating; delayed teething, slow fontanelle closure; growing pains, weak legs, unsteady gait; pigeon chest, funnel chest, rib flaring; poor concentration, irritability;
[0006] II. Teenagers / Adults
[0007] Leg cramps, especially at night or after being chilled; lower back pain, joint discomfort; weakness and fatigue;
[0008] Brittle nails, dry hair; insomnia, mood swings;
[0009] III. Middle-aged and elderly people
[0010] Frequent cramps, lower back pain; decreased height, hunchback; osteoporosis, fractures from minor bumps;
[0011] Loose or missing teeth; numbness in hands and feet, itchy skin. Common signs of calcium deficiency include: sudden leg cramps during sleep; thin, easily split nails with white spots; allergies and weakened immunity; lower back pain, backache, and general weakness.
[0012] This shows that calcium deficiency is a major health concern for humans. Therefore, calcium supplementation has become a priority. The safest and most effective way to supplement calcium is through a diet rich in dairy products, dark green vegetables, soy products, seafood (small fish and shrimp), nuts, and sesame seeds. Adequate vitamin D intake is also crucial for calcium absorption. Get 15-20 minutes of sunshine daily and eat egg yolks and deep-sea fish (salmon, cod). To prevent calcium loss, avoid these things: drink less strong tea, coffee, and carbonated beverages, and eat less salty food (high salt intake leads to higher calcium loss).
[0013] Under normal circumstances, calcium intake from food is better and safer. For specific groups with significant calcium deficiency and poor absorption, calcium supplements are faster and more direct. Advantages of calcium supplements (calcium tablets): high concentration, rapid absorption. Suitable for: elderly people, pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, and people with severe picky eating habits who are already significantly calcium deficient (frequent cramps, lower back pain, low bone density). Disadvantages: absorption rate is lower than food; may cause constipation, bloating, and heartburn; excessive consumption may increase the risk of kidney stones and vascular calcification; must be combined with vitamin D for effectiveness.
[0014] Bone broth is an effective source of calcium and is considered one of the best methods for calcium supplementation.
[0015] However, homemade bone broth, due to its low cooking temperature, has a low calcium content and is high in fat, primarily saturated fat and cholesterol. The whiter the broth, the more fat it contains, which is clearly not beneficial to health. Collagen and gelatin make the broth thick and smooth, offering slight benefits to the skin and joints, but they are not the main sources of calcium. It also contains small amounts of minerals such as potassium, sodium, phosphorus, and magnesium. The calcium content is very low, far less than that of milk or tofu.
[0016] Many factories now produce bone broth. Most of the bone broth produced in these factories is made at high temperatures and is not degreased. It is rich in calcium, fat, and other bone marrow components and is mainly used in the catering industry. However, this type of bone broth is usually sold as a commodity in bags or Tetra Pak packaging, just like milk. Because the liquid itself is bulky and heavy, the cost of handling, transporting, and storing it is too high, and its shelf life is obviously at a disadvantage. Summary of the Invention
[0017] To address the aforementioned problems, the present invention aims to provide a method for preparing a nutritional bone calcium brick.
[0018] To achieve the above objectives, the method for preparing nutritional bone calcium bricks provided by the present invention includes the following steps performed in sequence:

[0020] 2) The above raw materials are injected into a mold with a mesh, and then the mold and the raw materials inside are placed in a freeze-drying device for freeze-drying at low temperature. After that, the mold is removed and demolded, thus producing nutritional bone calcium bricks of different shapes.
[0021] 3) The above-mentioned nutritional bone calcium bricks can be sealed and packaged using vacuum or non-vacuum methods and then sold as a product.
[0022] In step 2), the freeze-drying process is carried out at a temperature of -25°C to -45°C for 24 to 48 hours.
[0023] In step 3), the nutritional bone calcium brick is in the shape of a strip, a ball, a heart, or a cartoon animal.
[0024] The method for preparing nutritional bone calcium bricks provided by this invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0025] 1. It can extend the shelf life and is easy to carry;
[0026] 2. Lightweight and easy to transport, reducing logistics and storage costs;
