Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of health food technology, specifically relating to a beauty-enhancing and sleep-aiding herbal liqueur and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] With the fast pace of modern life, the coexistence of sleep disorders and skin aging is becoming increasingly prominent, creating an urgent market demand for multifunctional health products that can simultaneously regulate internal functions and improve external appearance. Herbal liqueurs, as a food form that combines the functions of a carrier and a synergist, have become an ideal choice for developing such multifunctional products. However, existing herbal liqueur products and related preparation technologies have significant shortcomings in terms of efficacy synergy, process efficiency, and quality control, as detailed below: (1) The efficacy system is singular and lacks synergistic design. Existing products mostly focus on satisfying a single health demand. For example, patent document CN117815336A mainly focuses on improving the antioxidant capacity of the product, while CN114947074A focuses on improving sleep. This "single-point" R&D approach fails to explore and utilize the inherent physiological connection and synergistic potential between "internal nourishment of the spirit" (improving sleep) and "external nourishment of the face" (beauty and skin care) from the perspective of the "holistic view" of traditional Chinese medicine and modern "systems biology". The simple superposition of functions cannot achieve synergistic effect, resulting in limited comprehensive value of the product and difficulty in meeting the increasingly complex health needs of consumers; (2) The preparation process is crude and the conversion efficiency of the target is low. The current mainstream preparation process has a bottleneck. On the one hand, the traditional soaking process (such as CN117815336A) is essentially a physical extraction process. The active ingredients only undergo dissolution and migration, and there is a lack of chemical transformation mediated by biological enzymes or microorganisms. This not only limits the extraction efficiency, but also fails to generate new highly active metabolites (such as converting precursor substances into ferulic acid through fermentation), resulting in insufficient product efficacy. On the other hand, although existing fermented liqueurs (such as CN104524424A) have introduced a conversion process, they mostly use general-purpose yeast, have short fermentation cycles and inaccurate temperature control, and fail to design "directed fermentation" processes for the target efficacy components (such as specific glycosides and polysaccharides) in specific herbal formulas. Their conversion process has a lot of randomness, and the enrichment efficiency of the target components is low and unstable. (3) Poor coupling between formulation and process. Most existing technical solutions tend to oversimplify the process design by "one-pot cooking," that is, treating medicinal materials with different physicochemical properties (water-soluble / alcohol-soluble, heat-sensitive / stable) under the same process conditions. This design ignores the optimal dissolution medium, the optimal extraction temperature, and the ideal form for participating in subsequent fermentation stages of different active ingredients (for example, some components are suitable as fermentation substrates, while others are suitable for addition after fermentation to maintain activity). This disconnect between process and material characteristics not only causes the loss or destruction of some effective ingredients, but also easily leads to flavor incoordination and even the generation of undesirable byproducts, seriously affecting the final quality, safety, and efficacy stability of the product.

[0003] Therefore, existing technologies, both conceptually and practically, are insufficient to support the development of a high-quality, multifunctional herbal liqueur with clearly defined synergistic effects, advanced and controllable processes, stable and consistent quality, and scientific verification. Summary of the Invention

The ultrasonic extraction was repeated twice. The mixture was filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated to a relative density of 1.10 to obtain the extract. Rose petals, dried tangerine peel, cardamom, and wolfberry were divided into group B. Group B was extracted with alcohol as follows: 8 times the amount of 60% ethanol was added to the raw materials of group B, and ultrasonic extraction was performed at 800W and 60℃ for 40 minutes. The ultrasonic extraction was repeated twice, and the ethanol was recovered to obtain the extract. The extract obtained by water extraction and the extract obtained by alcohol extraction are mixed and diluted with purified water to 0.1 times the volume of the base wine to obtain the efficacy extract. (iv) Secondary fermentation: Mix the base wine with the efficacy extract, add active dry yeast for wine at a dosage of 200 mg / L, and ferment at 22±0.5℃ for 10 days; (V) Post-processing: pasteurize at 65℃ for 30 min, centrifuge at 10000 r / min for 10 min, add clarifying agent bentonite at 0.15 wt%, let stand for 7 days, age the supernatant in earthenware jars at 16±0.5℃ for 4 months, filter through a 0.45 μm membrane, and aseptically fill.

[0021] Comparative Example 1: Wheat koji was used instead of compound medicinal koji in the raw materials, and everything else was the same as in Example 1; The preparation method uses a traditional soaking process, as detailed below: (1) Preparation of base wine: Steam rice for 45 minutes, cool it to room temperature, add wheat koji as a fermentation agent, mix and stir evenly, add purified water to adjust the total water content to 58%, ferment at 28℃±2℃ for 30 days, and obtain the base wine of yellow rice wine after pressing and clarification; the alcohol content of the base wine is about 12% vol, and there is no enrichment of directional functional components. (2) Soaking and extraction: The first herbal composition and the second herbal composition are mixed, dried and then pulverized through a 40-mesh sieve to obtain mixed herbal powder; the mixed herbal powder is added to the base wine at a mass ratio of 1:10, and the mixture is sealed and soaked at 25°C for 30 days, with stirring once every 3 days during the period. (3) Post-treatment: After soaking, the residue was removed by filtration using a plate and frame filter press. The supernatant was taken after the filtrate settled naturally for 24 hours. After pasteurization (65℃, 30min), it was filled to obtain the product of Comparative Example 1.

[0022] Comparative Example 2: Wheat koji was used instead of compound medicinal koji in the raw materials, and everything else was the same as in Example 1; It is prepared using a single fermentation process, as detailed below: (1) Fermentation process: Mix rice with the first herbal composition and the second herbal composition, add purified water, soak together for 2 hours, steam until cooked and cool, mix in wheat koji, stir evenly, add purified water to adjust the total moisture content to 58%, put into a vat for fermentation, control the fermentation temperature at 28±2℃, and the fermentation cycle is 30 days; there is no segmented temperature control design during the period, only turning once every 3 days; (2) Post-processing: After fermentation, the wine is pressed and filtered, and then naturally settled, pasteurized (65℃, 30min), and then bottled to obtain the product of Comparative Example 2.

[0023] Performance testing 1. Determination of the content of active ingredients To verify the technical effects of the present invention, the finished products prepared in Example 1 (10:1) and Example 2 (10:0.5) were systematically tested and evaluated, and compared with the comparative products prepared by the traditional process. Three batches were prepared for each test, and the average value was taken. The results are shown in Table 1. Table 1 Content of active ingredients

[0024] As shown in Table 1, the liqueur prepared by this invention has high contents of verbascoside, paeoniflorin, total flavonoids, polysaccharides, ferulic acid, etc. Comparative Example 1 uses a "one-pot" soaking process, with all medicinal materials added at once; it uses base liquor fermented with ordinary wheat koji, without functional directional design; the fermentation cycle is short (30 days), and the temperature control is rudimentary (constant temperature of 28℃); there is no segmented extraction or secondary fermentation; the active ingredients of the medicinal materials only undergo physical dissolution, lacking biotransformation. Comparative Example 2 adopted a "one-pot" mixed fermentation process; ordinary wheat koji was used, without any special medicinal koji design; the fermentation temperature was high (28℃) and the cycle was short (30 days), which was not conducive to the generation and accumulation of functional components such as ferulic acid; all medicinal materials were put into fermentation without distinguishing the stages and forms of different medicinal materials participating in fermentation; there was no segmented extraction process, and heat-sensitive and alcohol-soluble components were easily lost. By comparing two sets of traditional processes, the technical advantages of this invention in terms of extraction efficiency and biotransformation capability can be fully verified.
