Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine dietary technology, and in particular to a special dietary diet of Dendrobium officinale and American ginseng from Huoshan and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Dendrobium huoshanense originates from Huoshan County, Anhui Province, in the Dabie Mountains, and is mainly distributed in Guangdong, Guangxi, Hubei, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang provinces. It prefers shade and dislikes direct sunlight, growing densely in warm, rainy, and misty valleys, often on sheltered, shady cliffs. Its propagation methods mainly include sowing and cutting, with sowing being the most common method in practice, although external seeding can also be used.

[0003] Dendrobium huoshanense possesses multiple benefits, combining traditional Chinese medicine's "stomach-nourishing, yin-nourishing, heat-clearing, vision-improving, and muscle-strengthening" properties with modern pharmacological effects such as "immune regulation, anti-oxidation, blood sugar reduction, anti-inflammatory, and liver protection." It is a precious and endangered orchid that integrates medicinal and nutritional uses. Therefore, Dendrobium huoshanense is often used in food preparation. Current technology employs atmospheric pressure decoction extraction, multi-step wet granulation, and net weight packaging, which leads to degradation of heat-sensitive active ingredients, high risk of process contamination, and poor packaging stability. Therefore, there is room for improvement. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a special dietary supplement made from Dendrobium officinale and American ginseng from Huoshan and its preparation method. Its advantages lie in the overall process achieving industrial-scale upgrading with low energy consumption, high stability, and high quality control, significantly improving the retention rate of active ingredients, production efficiency, and packaging precision.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A special dietary diet of Dendrobium huoshanense and American ginseng, comprising the following ingredients in parts by weight: Dendrobium huoshanense 1-3 parts, Lycium barbarum 9-11 parts, Astragalus membranaceus 9-11 parts, American ginseng 4-6 parts, Ophiopogon japonicus 4-6 parts, and inulin 149-151 parts.

[0006] Preferred ingredients include the following parts by weight: 1 part Dendrobium huoshanense, 11 parts Lycium barbarum, 9 parts Astragalus membranaceus, 6 parts American ginseng, 4 parts Ophiopogon japonicus, and 151 parts inulin.

[0007] Preferred ingredients include the following parts by weight: 2 parts Dendrobium huoshanense, 10 parts Lycium barbarum, 10 parts Astragalus membranaceus, 5 parts American ginseng, 5 parts Ophiopogon japonicus, and 150 parts inulin.

[0008] Preferred ingredients include the following parts by weight: 3 parts Dendrobium huoshanense, 9 parts Lycium barbarum, 11 parts Astragalus membranaceus, 4 parts American ginseng, 6 parts Ophiopogon japonicus, and 149 parts inulin.

[0009] A method for preparing a special dietary supplement made from Dendrobium huoshanense and American ginseng, comprising the following steps: Step 1: Collect the raw materials according to the formula, remove impurities from the raw materials, and coarsely crush the raw materials after removing impurities using a pulverizer; Step 2: Weigh out the coarsely crushed Dendrobium huoshanense, wolfberry, astragalus, American ginseng, and Ophiopogon japonicus according to the ingredients, put them into the multi-functional extraction tank, weigh out 10 times the amount of drinking water, add it to the extraction tank, and close the lid. Boil the herbs until they are just about to boil, and then boil for 2 hours, keeping the extract at a gentle boil throughout the process. Once the time is up, filter the extract through a filter and transfer it to an extract storage tank. Weigh out 10 times the amount of drinking water used for the herbs and add it to the extraction tank. Extract for 2 hours using the same method. Transfer the extract to an extract storage tank and remove the dregs. Step 3: Pump the extract into the double-effect concentrator until the liquid level reaches 1 / 2 the height of the concentrator's inner sight glass, then stop pumping; open the cooling circulating water valve and confirm that the circulating water is normal; close the feed valve, turn on the vacuum pump, and when the vacuum degree reaches 0.08MPa, maintain this vacuum degree to heat the double-effect concentrator and concentrate the liquid under reduced pressure. Step 4: Place the weighed and prepared inulin into a one-step granulator and mix and heat for 10 minutes to ensure even mixing. When the material temperature reaches the granulation temperature of 60℃, adjust the wind speed and the air inlet temperature to 75℃. Turn on the spray peristaltic pump to spray the diluted extract evenly into the hopper. Control the spraying speed and ensure that all the diluted extract is sprayed into the hopper. After spraying, continue boiling and drying for 30 minutes. When the moisture content of the granules is below 5.0%, stop granulation. After the granules have cooled, they are sieved through a 14-mesh sieve. After granulation, the granules are placed in a double-layered plastic bag, sealed, and then placed in a material turnover container for later use. Step 5: Load the aluminum-plastic composite film into the automatic granule packaging machine, adjust the cutting length, test the sealing quality of the empty bags, ensure that the embossing is clear, and that there is no air leakage after squeezing. Weigh 10 empty bags and calculate the average weight of the empty bags. Load the granules to be packaged into the hopper of the dispensing machine, adjust the dosage plate, set the filling amount to 3.00g, test the machine, and when the filling amount difference is controlled within the range of 3.00g ± 0.15g, the weight of the bag is "3.00g + empty bag weight ± 0.15g". When the weight of the bag is within the set range, normal dispensing can be performed.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that the double-effect concentrator requires a controlled temperature of 55~60℃ for vacuum concentration to prevent boiling and foaming, and the feed liquid is continuously replenished during the concentration process to keep the liquid level at 1 / 2 of the sight glass; the water extract concentration ends when the relative density reaches 1.15~1.20.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that the automatic dispensing machine needs to be set to a horizontal sealing temperature of 100-120°C and a vertical sealing temperature of 120-150°C when it is working.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that, in order to determine the concentration endpoint and ensure that the concentration of the effective component meets the standard during the concentration process, the dual-effect concentrator needs to use the formula for calculating the relative density of the concentrate to determine the concentration endpoint. The formula is expressed as follows: ,in, This indicates the relative density of the concentrate, with a target range of 1.15 to 1.20. This indicates the absolute density of the concentrate at 55°C. It represents the density of pure water at 55℃; it is a key quality control indicator in the extraction process of traditional Chinese medicine, directly determining the concentration of the extract and the subsequent granulation performance.

[0013] The present invention is further configured such that "the liquid level is maintained at 1 / 2 height of the sight glass" during the concentration process of the double-effect concentrator is an engineering implementation of PID feedback control, the essence of which is: ,in, Indicates the target liquid level height. The real-time liquid level is indicated by a photoelectric sensor or an ultrasonic sensor. This represents the proportional and integral gain. This control logic ensures the stability of the concentration process and avoids dry burning or boiling over, which is the key guarantee for achieving low-temperature concentration at 55~60℃.

[0014] The present invention is further configured such that, in order to determine whether the drying of the granules after granulation meets the standard during the drying process, the moisture content of the granules needs to be calculated using the moisture content control formula at the drying endpoint. The calculation formula is expressed as follows: ,in, Indicates the moisture content of the particles. This indicates the mass of the particle sample before drying. This indicates the dry weight of the granules after constant weight at 105℃. A moisture content of less than 5.0% ensures storage stability and flowability.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: Compared to traditional dietary preparation processes, this technical solution increases the retention rate of heat-sensitive components such as Dendrobium officinale polysaccharides from 60-68% to over 85% through vacuum concentration at 55-60℃, avoiding high-temperature degradation. It employs a one-step granulation technology to integrate mixing, spraying, and drying, shortening the granulation cycle to less than 1.5 hours and increasing granule yield by 15-20%. The innovative introduction of a total weight control method (3.00g + empty bag weight ±0.15g) effectively compensates for batch fluctuations in packaging materials, keeping the content difference within ±5%, far superior to the traditional ±10% net weight control standard. The overall process achieves a low-energy, high-stability, and high-quality-control industrial upgrade, significantly improving the retention rate of active ingredients, production efficiency, and packaging precision.

The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this patent, and should not be construed as limiting this patent.

[0021] Example 3 A special dietary diet of Dendrobium huoshanense and American ginseng comprises the following ingredients in parts by weight: 3 parts Dendrobium huoshanense, 9 parts wolfberry, 11 parts astragalus, 4 parts American ginseng, 6 parts ophiopogon japonicus, and 149 parts inulin.

[0022] Reference Figure 1 A method for preparing a special dietary supplement made from Dendrobium huoshanense and American ginseng, comprising the following steps: Step 1: Collect the raw materials according to the formula, remove impurities from the raw materials, and coarsely crush the sorted raw materials using a pulverizer (20B type universal pulverizer); Step 2: Weigh out the coarsely crushed Dendrobium huoshanense, wolfberry, Astragalus membranaceus, American ginseng, and Ophiopogon japonicus according to the ingredients, and put them into the multi-functional extraction tank. Weigh out drinking water at 10 times the amount of the medicinal materials, add it to the extraction tank (TQ-1.0 type multi-functional extraction tank), and close the lid. Boil the herbs until they are just about to boil, and then boil for 2 hours, keeping the extract at a gentle boil throughout the process. Once the time is up, filter the extract through a filter and transfer it to an extract storage tank. Weigh out 10 times the amount of drinking water used for the herbs and add it to the extraction tank. Extract for 2 hours using the same method. Transfer the extract to an extract storage tank and remove the dregs. Step 3: Pump the extract into the double-effect concentrator (SN-500 type double-effect concentrator) until the liquid level reaches 1 / 2 height of the concentrator's inner sight glass, then stop pumping; open the cooling circulating water valve and confirm that the circulating water is normal; close the feed valve, turn on the vacuum pump, and when the vacuum degree reaches 0.08MPa, maintain this vacuum degree to heat the double-effect concentrator and concentrate the liquid under reduced pressure. Step 4: Place the weighed and prepared inulin into a one-step granulator and mix and heat for 10 minutes to ensure even mixing. When the material temperature reaches the granulation temperature of 60℃, adjust the wind speed and the inlet air temperature to 75℃. Turn on the spray peristaltic pump to evenly spray the diluted extract into the hopper. Control the spraying speed to ensure all the diluted extract is sprayed into the hopper. After spraying, continue boiling and drying for 30 minutes. When the granule moisture content is below 5.0%, stop granulation (one-step fluidized bed granulator). After the granules have cooled, they are sieved through a 14-mesh sieve. After granulation, the granules are placed in a double-layered plastic bag, sealed, and then placed in a material turnover container for later use. Step 5: Load the aluminum-plastic composite film into the automatic granule packaging machine, adjust the cutting length, test the sealing quality of the empty bags, ensure that the embossing is clear, and that there is no air leakage after squeezing. Weigh 10 empty bags and calculate the average weight of the empty bags. Load the granules to be packaged into the hopper of the filling machine (DXDK220 automatic granule filling machine), adjust the dosage plate, set the filling amount to 3.00g, and test the machine. When the filling amount difference is controlled within the range of 3.00g±0.15g, the weight of the bag is "3.00g + empty bag weight ±0.15g". When the weight of the bag is within the set range, normal filling can be performed.

[0023] By using vacuum concentration at 55-60℃, the retention rate of heat-sensitive components such as Dendrobium officinale polysaccharides was increased from 60-68% to over 85%, avoiding high-temperature degradation. A one-step granulation technology was adopted to integrate mixing, spraying, and drying, shortening the granulation cycle to less than 1.5 hours and increasing the granule yield by 15-20%. An innovative total weight control method (3.00g + empty bag weight ±0.15g) was introduced to effectively compensate for batch fluctuations in packaging materials, keeping the filling weight difference within ±5%, which is far superior to the traditional ±10% net weight control standard.

[0024] In the above embodiments, the double-effect concentrator needs to control the temperature at 55~60℃ for vacuum concentration to prevent boiling and foaming. During the concentration process, the feed liquid is continuously replenished to keep the liquid level at 1 / 2 of the sight glass. The water extract concentration ends when the relative density reaches 1.15~1.20.

[0025] In order to determine the concentration endpoint and ensure that the concentration of effective ingredients meets the target during the concentration process using a double-effect concentrator, it is necessary to use the formula for calculating the relative density of the concentrate. The formula is expressed as follows: ,in, This indicates the relative density of the concentrate, with a target range of 1.15 to 1.20. This indicates the absolute density of the concentrate at 55°C. It represents the density of pure water at 55℃; it is a key quality control indicator in the extraction process of traditional Chinese medicine, directly determining the concentration of the extract and the subsequent granulation performance.

[0026] The principle of "keeping the liquid level at 1 / 2 the height of the sight glass" during the concentration process in a double-effect concentrator is an engineering implementation of PID feedback control, which is essentially: ,in, Indicates the target liquid level height. The real-time liquid level is indicated by a photoelectric sensor or an ultrasonic sensor. This represents the proportional and integral gain. This control logic ensures the stability of the concentration process and avoids dry burning or boiling over, which is the key guarantee for achieving low-temperature concentration at 55~60℃.

[0027] Furthermore, during granulation, to determine whether the granules have met the drying standards, it is necessary to calculate the granule moisture content using the drying endpoint moisture content control formula. The formula is as follows: ,in, Indicates the moisture content of the particles. This indicates the mass of the particle sample before drying. This indicates the dry weight of the granules after constant weight at 105℃. A moisture content of less than 5.0% ensures storage stability and flowability.

[0028] It is worth mentioning that the automatic dispensing machine needs to be set to a horizontal sealing temperature of 100-120℃ and a vertical sealing temperature of 120-150℃ when it is working.

[0029] Technical advantages: The retention rate of active ingredients is increased to over 85% compared to the polysaccharide retention rate of about 60-68% in traditional processes. The granulation efficiency is improved. The traditional two-step process takes ≥4 hours, while the single-step process takes ≤1.5 hours.

[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
