Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of military functional foods and special logistics support technology, specifically to a compound pulp beverage based on food-medicine homologous substances and its preparation method. This product is specifically designed for military personnel to systematically alleviate complex fatigue, maintain physiological homeostasis, and enhance operational efficiency during continuous combat, extreme environments, and high cognitive load missions. Background Technology

[0002] Modern high-tech warfare and diversified military missions pose severe challenges to the physiological and psychological limits of personnel. Military personnel often need to maintain high-intensity, long-cycle operational capabilities under multiple stressors, including sleep deprivation, irregular nutrition, extreme temperatures, high altitude and low pressure, and continuous high mental stress.

[0003] Currently, traditional individual field rations and energy supplements primarily focus on the rapid replenishment of macronutrients (carbohydrates, fats, proteins) and electrolytes, such as various energy bars, compressed rations, and energy drinks. These products have the following inherent drawbacks:

[0004] 1. Single mechanism of action: Most rely on central nervous system stimulants such as caffeine and taurine. Although they can provide short-term alertness, they are prone to causing heart rate fluctuations, anxiety, and subsequent fatigue rebound. They cannot provide sustained and stable physiological support and may interfere with the execution of covert tasks.

[0005] 2. Neglecting the pathophysiological basis of complex stress: Failure to coordinate interventions for the multi-faceted and networked physiological disorders induced by military operations, such as excessive activation of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis, systemic oxidative stress damage, suppression of immune barrier function, and intestinal absorption dysfunction.

[0006] 3. Insufficient service applicability: The product form is not conducive to quick access on the person, the physical stability is poor, it is difficult to adapt to the storage and transportation conditions of high and low temperature cycles and severe bumps in the field environment, and the poor taste affects the voluntary intake compliance when fatigued.

[0007] In the field of tonic products that utilize substances that are both medicinal and edible, although some products claim to have "anti-fatigue" effects, their formulations are mostly based on civilian health care logic, with simple combinations and crude processes (often using high-temperature decoction), resulting in significant loss of active ingredients. Furthermore, they lack systematic engineering design to address the chain of physiological needs unique to military operations: "rapid response - sustained tolerance - efficient recovery." In addition, existing products generally fail to meet the stringent environmental adaptability requirements of military applications.

[0008] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a special compound pulp beverage that, based on modern military physiology and nutrition theories, can simultaneously achieve neuroendocrine homeostasis regulation, energy metabolism optimization, oxidative damage protection, and immune function support through scientific formulation and advanced technology, while meeting the requirements for easy field transport and storage in harsh military environments. Summary of the Invention

[0009] This invention aims to overcome the aforementioned shortcomings of existing technologies and provide an anti-fatigue military-grade compound plant-based beverage specifically designed for military-related compound stressors, along with its preparation method. This product achieves multi-target systemic conditioning through an innovative formulation system and low-temperature preparation process, and possesses high energy density and excellent environmental stability.

[0010] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0011] In a first aspect, the present invention provides an anti-fatigue military-grade compound plant-based beverage, characterized in that, per 1000ml of final puree, it comprises the following raw materials in the following weight ratio:

[0015] Red dates: 30-50g

[0016] Oyster deodorizing powder: 10-30g

[0017] Maca powder: 10-20g

[0018] Artificially cultivated ginseng (5 years or less): 15-25g

[0019] Natural stabilizers (such as gum or agar): 0.5-2.0g

[0020] The remainder is purified water.

[0021] Preferably, the weight ratio of the raw materials is: 40g of wolfberry, 60g of polygonatum, 30g of yam, 40g of red dates, 20g of deodorized oyster powder, 15g of maca powder, and 20g of ginseng. Secondly, the present invention provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned anti-fatigue military-grade compound plant extract beverage, characterized by comprising the following steps:

[0022] (1) Raw material pretreatment: After washing the wolfberry, polygonatum, yam and red dates, crush them to a particle size of 2-5mm; ginseng is separately pulverized at low temperature and passed through an 80-mesh sieve.

[0023] (2) Segmented low-temperature synergistic extraction:

[0024] a. Extraction of spleen-strengthening and repairing components: Mix Polygonatum sibiricum, Dioscorea opposita, jujube, and deodorized oyster powder, add 8-12 times the weight of purified water, adjust the pH to 5.0-6.0, add 0.05%-0.15% cellulase and 0.03%-0.08% pectinase according to the total weight of raw materials, enzymatically hydrolyze at 55-65℃ for 1-2 hours, then inactivate the enzyme at 90-100℃ for 5-15 minutes, filter, and obtain the first extract;

[0025] b. Extraction of Qi-boosting and stress-relieving components: Mix wolfberry, ginseng powder, and maca powder, add 6-8 times the weight of purified water, and perform dynamic circulation extraction at 60-70℃ for 40-60 minutes. Filter to obtain the second extract.

[0026] c. Combine the first and second extracts, and then filter them to obtain the crude extract.

[0027] (3) Flavor blending: Add 0.05%-0.15% of licorice extract and 0.03%-0.08% of microencapsulated tangerine peel essential oil by weight to the crude extract and stir well.

[0028] (4) Low temperature vacuum concentration: Under the conditions of 50-60℃ and vacuum degree not lower than -0.08MPa, the prepared liquid is concentrated to the soluble solids content of 30-40°Brix to obtain the original pulp base.

[0029] (5) High-pressure homogenization and stabilization: Add a pre-dissolved natural stabilizer to the original pulp substrate and perform one or two-stage homogenization treatment under a pressure of 25-35 MPa.

[0030] (6) Sterilization and filling: The homogenized pulp is sterilized and then filled into single-dose portable packaging under aseptic conditions.

[0031] Preferably, in step (2)a, the enzymatic hydrolysis conditions are: adding 0.1% of the total weight of cellulase and 0.05% of pectinase, and hydrolyzing at 60°C for 1.5 hours. Preferably, in step (4), the concentration conditions are: concentrating to 35°Brix at 55-58°C and a vacuum of -0.09MPa.

[0033] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0034] 1. Comprehensive and targeted efficacy: The formula of this invention is scientifically formulated based on the theory of "principal, assistant, adjuvant and guide". It provides full-chain, multi-target system support for the imbalance of the "neuro-endocrine-immune-metabolic" network in the complex fatigue of military operations. It is from HPA axis regulation and rapid energy mobilization (ginseng, maca) to anti-oxidation and cell protection (Polygonatum sibiricum, wolfberry) and immune barrier maintenance and nutrient absorption (oyster, yam). Animal experiments have verified that the anti-fatigue effect is significant.

[0035] 2. Unexpected military-specific advantages: In animal experiments simulating military cognitive load, the product of this invention can significantly protect spatial learning and memory abilities under fatigue conditions. This function is directly related to military terrain interpretation and mission planning capabilities, which is not available in conventional anti-fatigue products.

[0036] 3.

[0044] a. First Extract: Mix Polygonatum sibiricum, Dioscorea opposita, jujube, and oyster powder, add 15kg of purified water, and adjust the pH to 5.5 with citric acid. Add 1.5g of cellulase and 0.75g of pectinase, stir at 60℃ for 1.5 hours for enzymatic hydrolysis, then heat at 95℃ for 10 minutes to inactivate the enzymes, and filter to obtain approximately 14L of filtrate.

[0045] b. Second extraction: Mix goji berries, ginseng powder, and maca powder, add 5.25 kg of purified water, and extract dynamically at 65°C for 50 minutes. Filter to obtain approximately 5 L of filtrate.

[0046] c. Combine the two filtrates and filter them through a 0.45μm membrane to obtain approximately 18.5L of clear crude extract.

[0047] (4) Flavor blending: Add 18.5g of licorice extract (glycyrrhizin ≥80%) and 9.25g of microencapsulated tangerine peel essential oil to the crude extract and stir well.

[0048] (5) Low temperature vacuum concentration: Under the conditions of 57℃ and vacuum degree -0.09MPa, the preparation solution was concentrated to a total volume of about 2.85L, and the soluble solids content was measured to be 35°Brix, thus obtaining the original pulp base.

[0049] (6) Homogenization and stabilization: Dissolve pectin in 100ml of 60℃ warm water and slowly add it to the original pulp base. Then, homogenize it in two stages under a pressure of 30MPa.

[0050] (7) Sterilization and filling: The product is sterilized using an ultra-high pressure sterilization device at 550MPa for 5 minutes. Then it is filled into 10ml aluminum foil composite soft bags on an aseptic filling line, sealed, and approximately 285 bags of finished product are obtained.

[0051] Example 2: Product Stability Test

[0052] The finished product obtained in Example 1 was subjected to the following tests:

[0053] (1) Accelerated stability test: The sample was stored in a constant temperature and humidity chamber at 40℃ and 75% relative humidity for 3 months. No stratification or precipitation was observed in the sample, and there were no significant changes in color or taste. The centrifugal sedimentation rate was 1.2%.

[0054] (2) Freeze-thaw cycle test: The sample was frozen at -20℃ for 24 hours and then thawed at 25℃, and the cycle was repeated 3 times. The sample did not separate into layers, the taste remained unchanged, and the centrifugal sedimentation rate was 1.4%. The results show that the product of this invention has good physicochemical stability and can meet the requirements for military food storage and transportation.

[0055] Example 3: Animal Experiments on Anti-fatigue Efficacy

[0056] ICR mice were randomly divided into a control group (physiological saline), a positive control group (a commercially available energy drink), a low-dose group (0.1 ml / 10 g body weight), and a high-dose group (0.2 ml / 10 g body weight). After 30 days of continuous gavage, the mice were subjected to weight-bearing (5% body weight) swimming until exhaustion.

[0057] Results: Compared with the control group, the exhaustive swimming time of mice in the high- and low-dose groups of this invention was prolonged by 52.3% and 38.7%, respectively (P<0.01), which was significantly better than that of the positive control group (prolonged by 21.5%). At the same time, the serum urea nitrogen and blood lactate levels of mice in the group of this invention were significantly reduced after exercise, and the liver glycogen content was significantly increased.

[0058] Example 4: Animal experiments on the effects on cognitive function

[0059] A combined fatigue model of 72-hour intermittent sleep deprivation plus daily weighted swimming was established using SD rats. The rats were divided into a blank control group, a model group, a positive control group (containing an extract from a military-grade energy bar), and low / high dose groups of this invention. Morris water maze test results showed that the escape latency for finding platforms in the high-dose group was significantly shorter than that in the model group and the positive control group (P<0.01). Molecular biological analysis indicated that the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor in the hippocampus was upregulated in the rats of this invention group, and the expression of adrenocorticotropic hormone-releasing hormone mRNA in the hypothalamus was effectively regulated. This demonstrates that the product of this invention can effectively protect spatial learning and memory abilities under fatigue conditions and has a protective effect on the HPA axis and neural function.

[0060] Example 5: Verification of Product's Military Environmental Adaptability

[0061] Take the finished product from Example 1 and test it according to national military standards:

[0062] (1) Extreme temperature cycling test: The temperature was cycled from -25℃ (24h) to 45℃ (24h) for a total of 5 cycles. After the test, the packaging was intact, the contents did not separate or leak, the centrifugal sedimentation rate was <1.2%, and the taste was normal.

[0063] (2) Vibration test: Vibration spectrum simulation for general vehicle transportation was conducted according to GJB 150.16A-2009 (10-500Hz, 3 hours). After the test, all aluminum foil bags were undamaged and the contents did not separate.

[0064] The above results demonstrate that the product of this invention possesses excellent adaptability to military environments.
