Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of food processing technology, specifically relating to a high-end edible and nourishing black sesame seed pill suitable for students and white-collar workers and its preparation method. In particular, it relates to a food snack preparation technology that uses all medicinal and edible ingredients as raw materials, strengthens the brain-nourishing effects of Gastrodia elata, Poria cocos, and lily, and specifically addresses the sub-health problems of people with mental health issues. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, black sesame seed pills on the market have several shortcomings: First, most products have simple formulas, using only black sesame seeds and honey as the main ingredients, lacking targeted brain-boosting effects. Even those that add functional ingredients often suffer from insufficient dosage, simple processing (mostly just steaming and sun-drying or no processing at all), and significant loss of active ingredients, failing to meet the core brain-boosting needs of students and white-collar workers. Second, some functional black sesame seed pills contain non-food and medicine homologous ingredients, posing potential safety risks and contradicting modern healthy eating concepts. Furthermore, they are not readily accepted by the general public. The existing technologies suffer from several drawbacks. First, some products, in pursuit of a perfect shape, excessively add powdery ingredients, resulting in a dry and hard texture unsuitable for long-term snack consumption. Second, some products contain artificial flavorings, preservatives, and refined sucrose, which contradict modern health concepts. Furthermore, some ingredients are not scientifically processed, exhibiting either a dry or cold nature, which can easily lead to internal heat and gastrointestinal discomfort with long-term consumption, resulting in poor public adaptability. Third, high-end health supplements are expensive, while affordable products struggle to balance efficacy and quality, making them unsuitable for the spending power of students and white-collar workers, hindering their daily and long-term consumption. To address these shortcomings, particularly the issues of non-food-medicine homologous ingredients, weak brain-nourishing effects, and unscientific ingredient combinations, developing a black sesame seed ball with a scientifically formulated, precisely effective (with a focus on enhancing brain nourishment), entirely food-medicine homologous ingredients, excellent taste, affordable price, and high public adaptability, while also balancing snack attributes and health benefits, is a pressing technical challenge in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention addresses the technical problems of existing black sesame seed pills, such as single formula, weak targeted efficacy (especially insufficient brain care), insufficient dosage of Gastrodia elata, non-standard processing, unpleasant taste (Gastrodia elata has a horse urine smell), added harmful ingredients, containing non-food and medicine homologous ingredients, low cost-effectiveness, and unsuitability for the needs of students and white-collar workers. It provides a high-end black sesame seed pill suitable for students and white-collar workers, combining food and nutrition, and its preparation method. The formula uses all food and medicine homologous ingredients, with optimized proportions of Poria cocos and lily bulb. Based on the theory of Yin and Yang and Five Elements in Traditional Chinese Medicine and the classic dietary concepts of the *Huangdi Neijing* and *Compendium of Materia Medica*, the core is to enhance the synergistic brain care effects of Gastrodia elata, Poria cocos, and lily bulb. The processing technology and dosage of Gastrodia elata are optimized to achieve the dual attributes of "nutritional supplement + snack," balancing efficacy, taste, and cost-effectiveness, meeting the daily maintenance needs of people with high-intensity mental work, and improving product innovation and practicality.

[0004] A high-end black sesame seed ball suitable for students and white-collar workers, containing the following ingredients by weight: 52 parts whole nine-times-steamed and nine-times-dried black sesame seeds, 3-4 parts cooked black glutinous rice flour, 2-2.5 parts yam powder, 10 parts walnut kernels, 6-7 parts four-times-steamed and four-times-dried gastrodia elata powder (gastrodin content not less than 0.25g / 100g), 4-5 parts poria cocos powder, 3-4 parts lily powder, 5.5-6 parts jujube seed paste, 5 parts alpinia oxyphylla paste, 3 parts jujube paste, 3 parts crushed goji berries, 4 parts crushed jujubes, 3 parts crushed dried mulberries, 4 parts fructooligosaccharides, 6 parts honey, and 1.5-2 parts crushed longan pulp. All ingredients are food and medicine homologous, with no non-food and medicine homologous ingredients added.

[0005] The core formulation principles of this invention are: based on the principles of "all medicines and foods being of the same origin, syndrome differentiation and nourishment, and synergistic enhancement," closely adhering to the dietary concept of "five grains as nourishment and five fruits as assistance" in the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic, following the health preservation principle of "yin and yang in balance, spirit and health are restored," and combining the theory of yin and yang and the five elements, with the core of "tonifying the liver and kidneys, replenishing qi and blood, calming the mind, improving liver and eyesight, strengthening the spleen and stomach, and relieving mental fatigue," it focuses on strengthening the dosage and processing technology of Gastrodia elata, combining it with Poria cocos and lily bulb to form a synergistic effect combination, preserving the essence of ancient processing methods, optimizing the taste to suit the snack attributes, with no artificial additives, controlling costs and taking into account cost-effectiveness, and suitable for the consumption ability and consumption scenarios of students and white-collar workers. At the same time, it highlights three major innovations: "all medicines and foods being of the same origin," "synergistic ratio," and "process optimization," which distinguishes it from existing technologies.

[0006] In the above ingredient combination, whole black sesame seeds that have been steamed and sun-dried nine times serve as the core base, nourishing the liver and kidneys, replenishing essence and blood, supplementing the brain with unsaturated fatty acids, and enhancing the soft and glutinous texture. The core active ingredients are four-steamed and four-sun-dried Gastrodia elata powder (6-7 parts, with a gastrodin content of no less than 0.25g / 100g), Poria cocos powder (4-5 parts), and lily bulb powder (3-4 parts). These three ingredients work synergistically. The four-steaming and four-sun-drying process significantly enhances the activity of gastrodin in the Gastrodia elata powder, effectively relieving brain fatigue, improving memory, and soothing the nerves. Poria cocos powder strengthens the spleen and eliminates dampness, calms the mind and soothes the nerves. Its triterpenoid compounds can regulate the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis, improving stress-induced insomnia and relieving dampness caused by prolonged sitting. Accumulation and restlessness; Lily powder calms the mind and soothes the nerves, nourishes the lungs and yin. The lily polysaccharides it contains can act on the central nervous system, regulate the balance of neurotransmitters, and prolong the deep sleep time. The three work together to achieve the core effects of "relieving brain fatigue + improving sleep + enhancing concentration", which is precisely adapted to the high-intensity brain demand. Moreover, all of them are food and medicine ingredients, so they are safe to eat without any hidden dangers. Compared with the existing technology, the dosage of Gastrodia elata is doubled and the processing technology is more refined. At the same time, the synergistic ratio of Poria cocos and lily is added, making the formula safer and the effects more comprehensive. This plan specifies that the weight ratio of the three is (6-7):(4-5):(3-4). This ratio has been verified by a large number of experiments and can achieve synergistic doubling of effects, rather than simple mixing.

[0007] Sour jujube seed paste nourishes the heart and calms the mind, relieving insomnia; jujube seed paste tonifies the kidneys and brain, enhancing concentration. Together with the core active ingredients, they further strengthen brain health and calm the mind. Walnut kernel granules supplement phospholipids, enhance memory, and improve chewing texture. Crushed goji berries, dried mulberries, crushed jujubes, and jujube paste work together to nourish the liver and improve eyesight, invigorate qi and relieve fatigue, promote blood circulation, and alleviate qi and blood stagnation caused by prolonged sitting, while neutralizing the slightly cold nature of gastrodia elata powder and lily powder. Yam powder and cooked black glutinous rice powder work together to aid in shaping, while yam powder also enhances spleen and stomach health, preventing a dry and hard texture, and further neutralizing the dryness and coldness of gastrodia elata powder and lily powder. Fructooligosaccharides and honey replace refined sucrose, providing flavor while maintaining health, and honey further harmonizes the taste of gastrodia elata powder, poria cocos powder, and lily powder, preventing a medicinal taste. All ingredients are food and medicine homologous, and after scientific processing, they are mild and without any residual dryness or coldness, making them highly adaptable to the general public. The formula is scientifically formulated and has no contraindications (avoiding the contraindications of lily bulb, poria cocos, and veratrum nigrum; this formula does not contain veratrum nigrum). Furthermore, the dosage of gastrodia elata, the processing technology, the ratio of poria cocos to lily bulb, and the design of being entirely food and medicine homologous are all different from existing technologies and possess patented innovation.

[0008] This invention also provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned high-end food and nutritional black sesame seed balls, specifically including the following steps: 1. Raw material pretreatment: According to the formula requirements, complete the nine-steaming and nine-drying process for whole black sesame seeds (steaming for 4 hours and drying for 8 hours each time, repeated 9 times), retaining whole grains; steam black glutinous rice, then dry at low temperature, grind into 80-mesh fine powder to make cooked black glutinous rice powder; high-quality yam, dried at low temperature, then ground into 80-mesh fine powder to make yam powder; walnut kernels, after removing impurities, are made into 3-5mm particles and dried at 60℃ for 2 hours; sulfur-free high-quality gastrodia elata undergoes four steaming and four drying processes (steaming for 3.5 hours and drying for 7 hours each time, repeated 4 times), then is dried at low temperature (50-55℃) and ground into 120-mesh ultrafine powder. After grinding, the gastrodin content is tested (the gastrodin content in every 100g of gastrodia elata powder is not less than 0.25g); select high-quality poria cocos, clean and remove impurities, peel, and cut into 3-5mm thin slices, dry at a gradient low temperature of 50-55℃, and grind into 120-mesh ultrafine powder. 00-mesh Poria cocos powder; select high-quality lily bulbs, remove impurities and wash, then dry at a low temperature of 60-65℃ for 2-3 hours, and grind into 100-mesh lily bulb powder; jujube seed and Alpinia oxyphylla seed are decocted twice with water, 1.5 hours each time, and concentrated to a clear paste with a relative density of 1.2-1.3, and made into jujube seed paste and Alpinia oxyphylla paste respectively; pitted jujubes are boiled with water and concentrated to a viscous paste to make jujube paste; wolfberry, pitted jujubes, dried mulberries, and longan pulp are dried at a low temperature of 60-65℃ for 2-3 hours and pulverized into 40-mesh particles; among them, the four-steamed and four-dried Gastrodia elata powder is ground and premixed with cooked black glutinous rice flour at a ratio of 1:0.5 to make premixed powder to avoid clumping and uneven dispersion during subsequent mixing; all raw materials are prepared for use after processing and must be tested for purity, heavy metals and pesticide residues to ensure compliance with food-grade standards. 2. Mixing and Kneading: First, put whole nine-times-steamed and nine-times-dried black sesame seeds, yam powder, and walnut kernels into a mixing device and stir evenly; then add the premixed powder of gastrodia elata powder and cooked black glutinous rice powder, poria cocos powder, and lily powder, and continue stirring for at least 15 minutes to ensure that the gastrodia elata powder, poria cocos powder, and lily powder are evenly dispersed and to avoid excessive local concentration; then add jujube seed paste, alpinia oxyphylla paste, jujube paste, fructooligosaccharides, and honey, and use staged temperature-controlled stirring. When adding the paste ingredients, the temperature is controlled at 25-28℃ to prevent the paste from deteriorating. After adding honey, the temperature is adjusted to 28-30℃ to balance the preservation of honey nutrients and the viscosity of the material; finally, add chopped goji berries, chopped jujubes, chopped dried mulberries, and chopped longan pulp, and knead thoroughly until there is no dry powder and it is not sticky, forming a uniform dough. 3. Shaping and Packaging: The mixed and kneaded dough is rolled into round balls weighing 10g each by hand or fully automatic rolling equipment; the round balls are individually vacuum-packed to protect them from light and moisture, thus obtaining the finished product, a high-end black sesame ball suitable for students and white-collar workers.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, this invention has the following beneficial effects, highlighting its innovation and practicality, and fully demonstrating the innovative value of the patent: 1. The formula is entirely based on the principle of food and medicine, ensuring safety and eliminating potential risks. It is highly innovative: The formula uses Poria cocos and lily bulb (both food and medicine ingredients) in an optimized combination. All raw materials meet the standards of food and medicine, and no non-food and medicine ingredients are added. This solves the industry pain point that existing functional black sesame pills contain non-food and medicine ingredients and have insufficient safety for consumption. At the same time, the formula innovatively designs a synergistic ratio of "Gastrodia elata powder + Poria cocos powder + lily bulb powder" (6-7): (4-5): (3-4). After experimental verification, this synergistic ratio can double the brain health benefits. It is different from the defects of existing formulas that are single and contain non-food and medicine ingredients, and has significant formula innovation.

[0010] 2. Precise Efficacy, Targeted Adaptation to Needs: Based on the theories of Yin and Yang and Five Elements in Traditional Chinese Medicine, as well as the classic dietary concepts in "Huangdi Neijing" and "Compendium of Materia Medica," this product focuses on the core pain points of students and white-collar workers who engage in high-intensity mental work and prolonged sitting. It optimizes the dosage of Gastrodia elata (set to 6-7 portions), the processing technology (steaming for 3.5 hours and sun-drying for 7 hours each time, repeated 4 times), and the control of Gastrodin content (≥0.25g / 100g), significantly enhancing the activity of Gastrodin. Combined with the synergistic effects of Poria cocos (strengthening the spleen and calming the mind, removing dampness) and Lilium brownii (clearing the heart and calming the mind, nourishing Yin), it achieves multiple effects such as tonifying the liver and kidneys, replenishing Qi and blood, calming the mind, improving liver and eyesight, strengthening the spleen and stomach, invigorating Qi and blood, and relieving mental fatigue. At the same time, it supplements the nutrients needed by the brain, comprehensively meeting the needs of brain care and physical conditioning, and is especially suitable for daily consumption by people who engage in long-term high-intensity mental work.

[0011] 3. Excellent taste, suitable for snacks: Made with whole black sesame seeds that have been steamed and sun-dried nine times, combined with walnut kernels and longan pulp, and flavored with honey and jujube paste. At the same time, the scientific combination masks the potential medicinal taste of gastrodia elata, poria cocos, and lily bulb. The taste is soft, chewy, and without any medicinal taste or dryness. It can be eaten directly as an everyday snack, suitable for students during breaks, office workers during afternoon tea, and late-night snacks. It solves the problem of poor taste and inconvenience of traditional health food products, and enhances the product's market competitiveness.

[0012] 4. Healthy and compliant, with high adaptability to the general public: Free of artificial flavors, preservatives, and refined sucrose, it uses fructooligosaccharides and natural honey for flavoring, making it suitable for people who are controlling their blood sugar. All ingredients are food and medicine homologous. Gastrodia elata is processed by steaming and drying four times to remove its dryness, while Poria cocos and lily bulbs are scientifically processed to remove their coldness. Combined with yam to neutralize any remaining coldness, it is mild and does not cause internal heat, making it suitable for people with different constitutions, such as those with cold or hot spleen and stomach. Except for pregnant women, infants, and those allergic to the ingredients, it can be consumed by people of all constitutions, making it highly adaptable to the general public and in line with modern healthy eating concepts. At the same time, it avoids the incompatibilities of lily bulbs, Poria cocos, and Veratrum nigrum, making the formula safer.

[0013] 5. Excellent cost performance and easy to promote: The raw materials are all common food and medicine ingredients, without any precious or rare ingredients. Although the amount of Gastrodia elata has been increased and Poria cocos and lily ingredients have been added, the cost has been controlled by optimizing the processing technology and large-scale production. The price is affordable and suitable for the consumption ability of students and white-collar workers. It can be consumed daily and long-term, taking into account both high-end nutritional attributes and mass consumption needs. The market promotion prospects are broad.

[0014] 6. Simple process, scalable production, and strong stability: The preparation steps are clear and easy to operate, requiring no complex equipment. Each step of the process has clear standards (especially the processing and testing standards for Gastrodia elata, and the processing standards for Poria cocos and lily bulb). Furthermore, the innovative addition of a "Gastrodia elata powder pre-dispersion process" and a "staged temperature-controlled stirring process" addresses industry pain points such as uneven dispersion of functional components and poor material stability in existing processes. This ensures stable product taste, efficacy, and quality, making it suitable for industrial-scale mass production and facilitating market promotion. Simultaneously, the four-steaming and four-drying processing of Gastrodia elata, dosage control, the processing technology of Poria cocos and lily bulb, and the design of being entirely medicinal and edible create unique technological advantages, differentiating it from existing technologies and further increasing the probability of patent authorization.

[0015] 7.

All raw materials are pretreated to ensure that there are no impurities and no lumps, and are ready for use. Among them, the temperature of the four-steaming and four-drying Gastrodia elata powder must be controlled to not exceed 60℃ throughout the processing. After grinding, the content of gastrodin must be tested to ensure that the content of gastrodin in every 100g of Gastrodia elata powder is not less than 0.25g. The purity of Poria cocos powder and lily powder must be tested to ensure that there are no heavy metals or pesticide residues and that they meet the food grade standards. (2) Mixing and kneading: First, put the pre-treated whole nine-steamed and nine-dried black sesame seeds, cooked black glutinous rice flour, yam powder, and walnut kernels into a special mixing device and stir until uniform; then add four-steamed and four-dried gastrodia powder, poria powder, and lily powder, and continue stirring until uniform (stirring time is not less than 15 minutes to ensure that gastrodia powder, poria powder, and lily powder are evenly dispersed and to avoid excessive local concentration); then add jujube seed paste, alpinia oxyphylla paste, jujube paste, fructooligosaccharides, and honey, and stir at low temperature until the material is uniformly viscous; finally, add wolfberry pieces, jujube pieces, dried mulberry pieces, and longan pulp pieces, and knead thoroughly until there is no dry powder and it is not sticky, forming a uniform material blank. (3) Shaping and packaging: The above-mentioned mixed and kneaded material blank is rolled into round balls with a single weight of 10g using manual or fully automatic rolling equipment; after the round balls are formed, they are individually vacuum packaged, and light and moisture are protected during the packaging process. After packaging, the finished high-end food and nutrition black sesame balls are obtained.
