Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of hawthorn food preparation technology, and in particular to a hawthorn pectin-based sugar-controlled hawthorn special dietary food and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Special dietary foods are designed for individuals with specific physiological conditions or nutritional needs, providing targeted nutritional support. Currently, the number of people with diabetes and impaired glucose tolerance is increasing, leading to a strong demand for hawthorn-based foods. However, traditional hawthorn products often contain large amounts of added sucrose, resulting in a high glycemic index and failing to meet blood sugar control requirements. Furthermore, existing blood sugar control special dietary foods mostly utilize exogenous functional ingredients, lacking products centered on hawthorn's natural components (such as hawthorn pectin), and suffer from problems such as a dry taste, limited nutritional diversity, and limited blood sugar control effects.

[0003] Hawthorn pectin is a natural water-soluble dietary fiber found in hawthorn, which can slow down glucose absorption, lower postprandial blood sugar, and regulate intestinal flora. However, its application in existing special dietary foods is mostly limited to simply adding hawthorn pectin, failing to fully utilize its blood sugar control effects and failing to combine it with the inherent medicinal and edible advantages of hawthorn. This makes it impossible to achieve a precise match between "ingredients-functions-special dietary needs," and also suffers from drawbacks such as complex preparation processes and low retention rates of functional components.

[0004] Therefore, in order to address the above problems, the present invention urgently needs to provide a hawthorn pectin-based sugar-controlling hawthorn special dietary food and its preparation method. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a hawthorn pectin-based sugar-controlling hawthorn special dietary food and its preparation method. The proposed preparation method of hawthorn pectin-based sugar-controlling hawthorn special dietary food solves the problems of existing special dietary foods, which mostly involve simply adding hawthorn pectin without fully utilizing its sugar-controlling effect. Furthermore, it does not take into account the medicinal and edible advantages of hawthorn itself, and cannot achieve a precise match between "ingredients-functions-special dietary needs". At the same time, it also suffers from defects such as complex preparation process and low retention rate of functional components.

[0006] The present invention provides a hawthorn pectin-based sugar-controlling hawthorn special dietary food, which, by weight, comprises 35-55 parts hawthorn pulp, 2.5-4.5 parts hawthorn low-ester pectin, 0.2-0.6 parts hawthorn flavonoids, 3-7 parts fructooligosaccharides, 1.5-3 parts konjac powder, 0.1-0.3 parts citric acid, 0.05-0.15 parts vitamin C, and 0.03-0.08 parts edible calcium carbonate.

[0007] Preferably, the hawthorn low-ester pectin is prepared by ultra-high pressure coupled pulse enzymatic hydrolysis of hawthorn residue, and the galacturonic acid content in the hawthorn low-ester pectin is ≥78%, and the degree of esterification is 25%-35%.

[0008] Preferably, by weight, it includes 40-50 parts hawthorn pulp, 3-4 parts hawthorn low-ester pectin, 0.4-0.5 parts hawthorn flavonoids, 4-5 parts fructooligosaccharides, 2-2.5 parts konjac powder, 0.2 parts citric acid, 0.1 parts vitamin C, and 0.04-0.06 parts edible calcium carbonate.

[0009] Preferably, the soluble solids content of the hawthorn pectin-based sugar-controlled hawthorn special dietary food is ≤28%.

[0010] The present invention also provides a method for preparing a hawthorn special dietary food based on hawthorn pectin as described in any one of the above-mentioned methods, comprising the following steps: Wash the hawthorns, remove the pits, pulp them, and pass them through an 80-100 mesh sieve to obtain hawthorn pulp; Hawthorn residue was subjected to ultra-high pressure coupled pulse enzymatic hydrolysis to prepare hawthorn low-ester pectin; According to the weight proportions, mix hawthorn low-ester pectin, hawthorn flavonoids, fructooligosaccharides, konjac powder, vitamin C and edible calcium carbonate, add hawthorn pulp, stir at room temperature, add citric acid and water, and continue stirring to obtain a mixture. The mixture is poured into a vacuum concentration tank for concentration until the solid content is 30%-35%, thus obtaining the concentrated material. The concentrated material is poured into a mold, placed in a low-temperature drying oven, demolded, cut, and sterilized to obtain hawthorn pectin-based sugar-controlled hawthorn special dietary food.

[0011] Preferably, the temperature of the low-temperature drying oven is set to 35-45℃.

[0012] Preferably, the concentrate is dried in a low-temperature drying oven until the moisture content is ≤8% before demolding.

[0013] Preferably, edible calcium carbonate is pulverized and passed through a 100-120 mesh sieve before use.

[0014] Preferably, the degree of esterification of hawthorn pectin is 25%-35%.

[0015] Preferably, the concentration temperature is 45-55℃ and the vacuum degree is 0.06-0.08MPa.

[0016] The hawthorn pectin-based sugar-controlling hawthorn special dietary food and its preparation method provided by this invention have the following advantages compared with the prior art: 1. The hawthorn pectin-based sugar-controlling hawthorn special dietary food provided by the present invention uses hawthorn pectin (low ester type, esterification degree 25%-35%) as the core sugar-controlling component, combined with hawthorn flavonoids and dietary fiber to achieve "synergistic sugar control of natural ingredients". It has no added sucrose or artificial sweeteners, and the glycemic index (GI) is ≤55, making it suitable for people who need to control their blood sugar.

[0017] 2. The hawthorn pectin-based sugar-controlling hawthorn special dietary food provided by the present invention has a formula that is precisely adapted to the nutritional needs of people who want to control their blood sugar. It takes into account the feeling of fullness and the function of promoting digestion, while supplementing vitamins and minerals to achieve nutritional balance. It is different from existing special dietary foods that simply control blood sugar and lack nutritional synergy.

[0018] 3. The preparation method of hawthorn pectin-based sugar-controlled hawthorn special dietary food provided by the present invention adopts the process of "low temperature enzymatic hydrolysis-vacuum concentration-low temperature molding" to maximize the preservation of the functionality of hawthorn pectin, avoid high temperature damage to effective ingredients, improve the taste of the product, and solve the problems of dryness and insufficient flavor in traditional special dietary foods.
