Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of compressed candy technology, specifically relating to a high-strength compressed candy and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Compressed candies have become an important carrier of functional foods due to their advantages such as good portability, precise dosage, and convenient consumption. Compressed candies are solid foods made by mixing sugar powder (or sugar alcohol), active ingredients, lubricants, and other ingredients, and then pressing them into shape using a tableting machine. Kudzu root and Japanese raisin tree seed compressed candies, with their health properties of being both food and medicine, have broad application prospects in areas such as hangover relief and liver protection.

[0003] Currently, the mainstream preparation methods for kudzu root and Japanese raisin tree fruit compressed candies include direct powder compression and wet granulation compression. The direct powder compression method involves directly mixing raw materials such as kudzu root powder, Japanese raisin tree powder, maltodextrin, and sorbitol, adding magnesium stearate, and then compressing the mixture into tablets. This process is simple, but kudzu root and Japanese raisin tree powder have high fiber content and high elastic recovery rate. Furthermore, magnesium stearate, as a hydrophobic lubricant, forms a separating film on the particle surface, weakening the binding force between particles. This results in tablets with low hardness and high brittleness, making them prone to cracking, loosening, and chipping during production and transportation. The wet granulation and tableting method uses water or ethanol as a wetting agent and adds binders (such as starch paste or povidone) to granulate and then compress the tablets. Although this process can improve the binding force between particles, the active ingredients in kudzu root and Japanese raisin tree (such as puerarin and dihydromyricetin) are easily degraded during high-temperature drying, and the added synthetic binders may affect the natural properties of the product. At the same time, the hygroscopicity of sugar alcohol excipients (such as sorbitol) can easily lead to particle adhesion and poor process stability.

[0004] To improve the strength of compressed candies, existing technologies typically employ the following methods: 1. Increase tablet compression pressure Increasing the pressure of the tablet press can enhance the density of the granules, but excessive pressure can lead to an increase in the elastic recovery rate of the compressed candy, causing problems such as top cracking and waist cracking. At the same time, excessive shrinkage can cause stress inside the tablet, which can easily lead to a decrease in hardness later on. In addition, high pressure can significantly reduce the disintegration rate of the tablet, affecting the eating experience and the release of active ingredients. 2. Add a large amount of auxiliary materials Existing technologies typically involve adding large amounts of microcrystalline cellulose, starch, etc., to improve compressibility. However, the large amount added will dilute the content of functional ingredients and reduce the product's efficacy. Another approach is to add large amounts of sorbitol to improve compressibility, but excessive addition will increase the product's hygroscopicity, resulting in poor storage performance in humid environments. 3. Reduce the amount of lubricant used. Reducing the amount of lubricants such as magnesium stearate can reduce their weakening effect on particles. However, a low amount of lubricant can lead to sticking and difficulty in demolding during the tableting process, as well as pitting and defects on the surface of the compressed candy, resulting in a decrease in yield and affecting product stability.

[0005] Therefore, providing a high-strength compressed candy and its preparation method, which improves strength while reducing hygroscopicity, ensuring yield, and enhancing product quality stability, is an urgent technical problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the technical problems existing in the prior art, this invention provides a high-strength compressed candy and its preparation method, which improves the strength of the compressed candy while reducing hygroscopicity, ensuring the yield rate, and improving quality stability.

[0007] A method for preparing high-strength compressed candy includes the steps of preparing a maltodextrin-vitamin C complex, co-crystallization, and tableting, as detailed below: 1. Preparation of maltodextrin-vitamin C complex Maltodextrin was added to deionized water and stirred until homogeneous. Vitamin C was then added and stirred until dissolved. Sodium hydroxide solution was added to adjust the pH to 9.8-10.2. Sodium trimetaphosphate was added, and the temperature was raised to 45-48℃. The mixture was kept warm and stirred for 2.0-2.3 hours. Citric acid solution was added to adjust the pH to 6.0-6.5. After drying, the maltodextrin-vitamin C complex was obtained. The mass ratio of deionized water, maltodextrin, vitamin C, and sodium tripolyphosphate is 57-62:16-23:7-9:0.4-0.6. The concentration of the sodium hydroxide solution is 6-10 wt%; The concentration of the citric acid solution is 10-12 wt%.

[0008] 2. Eutectic Maltodextrin-vitamin C complex was added to deionized water, followed by sorbitol.

The preparation method of the essential oil capsules is as follows: 3-4 wt% gum arabic solution and 3-4 wt% gelatin solution are mixed evenly at 48-52℃. Core material and Tween 20 are added, and the mixture is stirred in a water bath at 44-46℃ for 2.8-3.2 hours. After the reaction, the mixture is cooled to room temperature and homogenized at 12400-12800 rpm for 2-3 minutes. The mixture is then allowed to stand for 1.8-2.3 hours. After cooling to room temperature, 8-12% (v / v) acetic acid solution is added to adjust the pH to 4.0-4.5. The mixture is then stirred at 44-46℃ and 580-630 rpm for 28-3 hours. After 34 minutes, the temperature is lowered to 5-10℃ and kept warm for 28-34 minutes. 4.8-5.2 mol / L sodium hydroxide solution is added to adjust the pH to 5.0-6.0. The mixture is stirred at 5-10℃ for 15-25 minutes, then 2.0-2.5 wt% tannic acid solution is added and stirred until homogeneous. The mixture is then allowed to stand at 5-10℃ for 22-24 hours. After filtration and washing, it is freeze-dried. During freeze-drying, the thickness is ≤1 cm. It is pre-frozen at -42~-36℃ for 6-8 hours, and then freeze-dried at -42~-36℃ for 20-24 hours to obtain essential oil capsules. The core material is either peppermint essential oil or lemon essential oil; The volume-to-mass ratio of the gum arabic solution, gelatin solution, core material, Tween 20, and tannic acid solution is 45-55 mL: 45-55 mL: 1.0-1.5 g: 0.03-0.06 g: 28-35 mL.

[0023] Comparative Example 2 The changes made in Example 2 are as follows: The co-crystallization step is to mix 15g of maltodextrin-vitamin C complex and 30g of sorbitol, and stir at 340rpm for 13min to obtain co-crystallized powder. The rest of the operations are exactly the same.

[0024] Performance testing The performance of the compressed candies prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-2 was tested, as follows: 1. Basic Performance

[0025] 2. Stability

[0026] The hardness was measured again after the compressed candies prepared in Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-2 were placed in an environment of 43°C and 75% relative humidity for 30 days. The weight gain rate was measured by placing the compressed candies prepared in Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-2 in an environment of 25°C and 75% relative humidity for 7 days.

[0027] Based on the above test results, this invention first combines maltodextrin and vitamin C. Under alkaline conditions, sodium trimetaphosphate and maltodextrin undergo an esterification reaction to form phosphodiester bonds, resulting in a three-dimensional network structure. Maltodextrin forms a network macromolecule, improving the rigidity of the backbone. Simultaneously, under alkaline conditions, sodium trimetaphosphate attacks the enediol hydroxyl groups of vitamin C, causing vitamin C bonds to attach to the maltodextrin molecular chains. The molecular chains are tightly entangled, greatly reducing the possibility of water molecule penetration. During the co-crystallization process, sorbitol forms crystal nuclei, and maltodextrin... As a high-molecular-weight substance, the vitamin C complex combines with the hydroxyl groups of sorbitol, thereby ensuring product stability, enhancing storage resistance, and reducing hygroscopicity. During the tableting process, the eutectic powder acts as a rigid framework, combined with ingredients such as kudzu root and Japanese raisin tree fruit. After thermosetting treatment, the structure is fixed, resulting in a tablet with excellent stability. It is not prone to cracking or shedding, has a high yield, and is resistant to storage. Furthermore, essential oil capsules are added, which can release the aroma of the essential oils while reducing the irritation of the essential oils to the mouth, improving the palatability of the tablet, and providing a mild refreshing effect.

[0028] Comparative Example 1 directly mixed maltodextrin and vitamin C, omitting the pH adjustment with alkali solution and the cross-linking steps of sodium trimetaphosphate. It was just a simple physical mixing and drying process. It lacked covalent cross-linking and network structure, resulting in weak intermolecular forces, loose powder particles, and poor particle bonding after tableting. This led to low product hardness, easy wear and powdering, high brittleness, and easy material shortage and tablet cracking during tableting, resulting in a low pass rate. Furthermore, the uneven filling of the mold during tableting caused large fluctuations in tablet weight. It also decomposed rapidly upon contact with water, with large fluctuations in disintegration time and decreased stability. It had strong hygroscopic capacity in humid environments and its hardness decreased rapidly. In Comparative Example 2, the co-crystallization step involved mixing maltodextrin-vitamin C complex and sorbitol. However, there was no actual co-crystallization process; it was merely mechanical stirring. The sorbitol remained as independent crystalline particles, merely physically stacked with the complex without a co-crystallization interface. This resulted in weak interparticle bonding, leading to low hardness and high brittleness in the compressed candy. Furthermore, the dry powder blending system exhibited irregular particle morphology, making it prone to stratification, uneven tablet weight, and increased likelihood of cracked or loose tablets, resulting in a lower yield. The dry powder also had a high water absorption rate, causing the tablets to soften and lose hardness in humid environments.
