Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of food and medicine homology products, specifically to a formula and manufacturing process for a compound conditioning paste made from food and medicine homology products. Background Technology

[0002] With the fast pace of modern life, unbalanced diets, and irregular schedules, an increasing number of people are experiencing sub-health issues such as qi and blood deficiency, spleen and stomach dysfunction, and internal dampness retention. Symptoms include fatigue, drowsiness, dull complexion, loss of appetite, heaviness in the limbs, and weakened immunity. Traditional treatment methods are ineffective because herbal decoctions are bitter and inconvenient to take, chemical health products have significant side effects, and single-ingredient food-based remedies have limited effects, making it difficult to achieve multi-dimensional synergistic conditioning.

[0003] As a traditional health-preserving dosage form, medicinal pastes have advantages such as being rich in nutrients, easily absorbed, and convenient to carry, achieving the conditioning effect of "treating through diet," which aligns with the traditional Chinese medicine concept of "preventive treatment" and the modern population's need for convenient health maintenance. However, existing medicinal paste products currently have many shortcomings: First, the formulas are often poorly formulated, focusing on a single effect and failing to address the synergistic conditioning of qi and blood, spleen and stomach, and dampness; second, the traditional production process results in insufficient extraction of effective ingredients and easily damages heat-sensitive nutrients; third, some products contain excessive amounts of sucrose and preservatives, which can increase the burden on the body with long-term consumption and have a cloyingly sweet taste; fourth, some formulas do not strictly adhere to the principle of food and medicine sharing the same origin, posing safety risks or compatibility issues.

[0004] Therefore, developing a compound conditioning paste that combines multi-dimensional conditioning effects, has a good taste, is safe, and is easily absorbed has become an urgent technical problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a compound conditioning paste formula and manufacturing process that combines medicinal and edible ingredients. This solves the problems of existing paste formulas being singular, having limited efficacy, outdated manufacturing processes, insufficient extraction of effective ingredients, poor taste, and inadequate safety. It achieves synergistic conditioning effects of nourishing both qi and blood, strengthening the spleen and removing dampness, and invigorating qi and calming the mind. At the same time, it ensures that the product has a mild taste, is easily absorbed, has no additives, and is highly safe, making it suitable for long-term consumption by various sub-healthy individuals.

[0006] Technical solution

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A medicinal and edible compound conditioning paste formula

[0009] The formula for this herbal paste consists of the following ingredients by weight, all of which are food and medicine homologous ingredients or medicinal herbs as stipulated by the state, and contain no toxic or harmful components. Specifically, it includes:

[0010] Basic conditioning group: 20-30 parts red dates, 15-25 parts longan, 15-25 parts yam, 10-20 parts lotus seeds, 10-20 parts fox nuts;

[0011] Qi and Blood Replenishing Group: 10-15 parts wolfberry, 8-12 parts mulberry, 5-10 parts angelica, 5-10 parts astragalus;

[0012] Spleen-strengthening and dampness-removing group: Poria cocos 8-15 parts, Coix seed 10-20 parts, Tangerine peel 5-10 parts, Dioscorea opposita 15-25 parts (combined with Dioscorea opposita in the basic conditioning group);

[0013] Calming and Sleep-Aiding Group: 8-12 parts lily bulbs, 5-10 parts jujube seeds, and 10-20 parts lotus seeds (calculated together with lotus seeds in the basic conditioning group);

[0014] Flavoring ingredients: 10-15 parts maltose, 5-10 parts honey;

[0015] Additional ingredients: 80-120 parts purified water.

[0016] Preferably, the optimal weight composition of the ointment formula is as follows:

[0017] 25 parts red dates, 20 parts longan, 20 parts yam, 15 parts lotus seeds, 15 parts fox nuts, 12 parts goji berries, 10 parts mulberries, 8 parts angelica, 7 parts astragalus, 12 parts poria cocos, 15 parts coix seed, 8 parts dried tangerine peel, 10 parts lily bulb, 7 parts jujube seed, 12 parts maltose, 8 parts honey, and 100 parts purified water.

[0018] The formulation principle of this invention is based on "nourishing both qi and blood, strengthening the spleen and removing dampness, and calming the mind and aiding sleep." Following the principles of "differentiating syndromes and prescribing diets" and "synergistic effects" in Traditional Chinese Medicine, each component has complementary properties and flavors, and synergistic effects, with no contraindications. In the basic conditioning group, red dates and longan nourish blood and calm the mind, while yam, lotus seeds, and fox nuts invigorate qi and strengthen the spleen, laying a foundation for gentle conditioning. In the qi and blood replenishing group, goji berries and mulberries nourish yin and replenish blood, while angelica and astragalus invigorate qi and blood, achieving "replenishing qi without stagnation and replenishing blood without greasiness." In the spleen-strengthening and dampness-removing group, poria and coix seed promote diuresis and remove dampness, while tangerine peel regulates qi and strengthens the spleen, synergistically improving symptoms of internal dampness with the basic group. In the calming and sleep-aiding group, lily bulbs, jujube seeds, lotus seeds, and longan are combined to gently calm the mind and improve sleep. The flavoring group uses a blend of maltose and honey to neutralize bitterness, enhance palatability, and also act as a preservative and thickening agent, making it suitable for all types of people.

[0019] A manufacturing process for a compound conditioning paste made from medicinal and edible ingredients

[0020] The production process includes the following steps, combining the essence of traditional paste making with modern extraction technology, while ensuring the preservation of effective ingredients and optimizing taste:

[0021] Step 1: Raw material screening and pretreatment

[0022] Select medicinal and edible raw materials that are free from mold, insects, and impurities. Weigh them according to the formula weight and process them separately: remove the pits from red dates and cut them into 0.5-1cm pieces; remove the shells and pits from longan and take the pulp; wash and drain goji berries, mulberries, and lilies; wash yam, fox nuts, poria cocos, and coix seeds, dry them at a constant temperature of 60-70℃ for 2-3 hours, and grind them into 80-100 mesh powder; wash angelica, astragalus, tangerine peel, and jujube seeds and cut them into 1-2cm pieces, and soak them in purified water at 25-30℃ for 30-60 minutes; remove the lotus heart from lotus seeds, wash them, and soak them for 20-30 minutes; soften maltose and honey at room temperature and filter them with purified water for later use.

[0023] Step 2: Extract the active ingredients in segments

[0024] The extraction process employs a multi-stage extraction method combining low-temperature soaking, ultrasonic extraction, and gentle decoction to maximize the retention of active ingredients: Angelica sinensis, Astragalus membranaceus, Citrus reticulata peel, and Ziziphus jujuba seeds, along with their soaking liquid, are poured into an extraction tank. One-third purified water is added, and the mixture is soaked at 50-60℃ for 1-1.5 hours, stirring every 20 minutes. Powdered yam is added, and ultrasonic extraction is performed at 200-300W and 20-40kHz for 30-40 minutes. The remaining purified water and other raw materials, such as jujubes, are added, and the mixture is gently decocted at 80-90℃ for 1.5-2 hours, stirring every 30 minutes. The mixture is then filtered through an 80-100 mesh screen, and the residue is decocted with twice the amount of purified water for 30-40 minutes. The two filtrates are combined to obtain the crude extract.

[0025] Step 3: Concentrate and reduce the paste

[0026] Pour the crude extract into a concentration tank and concentrate it under reduced pressure at -0.07~-0.09MPa and 60-70℃ until the relative density is 1.20-1.25 (25℃), stirring continuously during the process; cool down to 50-60℃, add softened maltose and honey, and stir for 15-20 minutes to form a uniform and viscous crude paste.

[0027] Step 4: Sterilization

[0028] A combined pasteurization and low-temperature microwave-assisted sterilization technique is employed: the crude paste is first preheated to 55-60℃ and microwaved at 100-150W and 2450MHz for 5-8 minutes, followed by pasteurization at 85-90℃ for 15-20 minutes, with gentle stirring during the process; nitrogen gas is introduced during sterilization to isolate oxygen and reduce oxidative deterioration; after sterilization, the temperature is lowered to 30-40℃ for later use. This technique overcomes the shortcomings of single sterilization methods, increasing sterilization efficiency by more than 30% while preserving heat-sensitive nutrients.

[0029] Step 5: Filling, Cooling and Packaging

[0030] In a Class 100,000 cleanroom, the sterilized paste is filled into sterilized containers and sealed using an inner aluminum foil layer and an outer screw cap. After sealing, it undergoes a gradient cooling process (first maintaining the temperature at 50℃ for 10 minutes, then lowering it to 30℃) to prevent stratification and clumping. Desiccants and oxygen absorbers are placed during packaging to further extend shelf life. Before filling, the paste is homogenized under high pressure at 20-30MPa for 5-10 minutes to refine the particles to 10-20μm. An additional 0.5-1 part licorice powder is added to the flavoring group to neutralize bitterness and harmonize flavors. This process extends the product's shelf life to 18-24 months and results in a smoother, richer taste.

[0031] Beneficial effects of the present invention

[0032] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following significant advantages:

[0033] Original and scientifically formulated: It selects 14 kinds of medicinal and edible raw materials, which are divided into four functional groups. The properties and flavors complement each other and the effects are synergistic, achieving multi-dimensional conditioning. It is gentle and free of harmful ingredients, and is suitable for long-term consumption by all kinds of people.

[0034] Delicious and easily absorbed: The flavoring is a blend of maltose and honey, combined with homogenization and licorice for a smooth, grain-free taste; ultrasonic extraction and other processes ensure that the active ingredients are fully dissolved and easily absorbed, making it suitable for people with weak spleen and stomach.

[0035] Technological innovation: Employing segmented extraction, compound sterilization, and double sealing technologies, this process not only preserves the effective components and improves extraction efficiency but also extends the shelf life to 18-24 months. It contains no chemical additives and is highly safe.

[0036] High safety and wide applicability: The raw materials are strictly screened and pre-treated, and the entire production process is sterile. The formula is neither cold nor hot, and is non-addictive. It is suitable for various sub-healthy people, especially those who stay up late and have irregular eating habits.

[0037] Portable and easy to store: Portable filling, ready to eat or soak in water, suitable for various scenarios; no refrigeration required, easy to store, combining traditional health preservation with modern lifestyle.
