Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a method for producing a functional health food that contains nutrients essential for preventing hair loss, improving scalp condition, and hair growth, and that can function as a nutritionally balanced meal substitute and functional health food. [Background technology]
[0002] In recent years, with the rise in economic standards and growing interest in health, there has been a trend toward the active development of functional foods to help maintain health.
[0003] In particular, Songsik is used as a liquid meal to replace breakfast for busy modern people, and as a recovery food for children and students who are stressed out about their study time, as it can be eaten regardless of study time.It is also rich in starch, dietary fiber, and minerals, and as such, demand for it as a functional health food for modern people is increasing day by day.
[0004] On the other hand, many modern people, regardless of age or gender, experience hair loss symptoms, and many people turn to dietary therapy or take health functional foods to treat or improve this condition.
[0005] Currently, there are many health functional foods on the market that claim to have the effects of preventing hair loss and promoting hair growth, but the reality is that their effects are very limited and insignificant, and do not fully meet the needs of consumers with hair loss symptoms.
[0006] Methods for producing such Zen food are disclosed in Korean Patent Registration Nos. 10-1476346, 10-0615987, and 10-1040778.
[0007] However, the manufacturing methods of Zen food published in these previous documents consist of simply dry-frying the ingredients, powdering them, and packaging them, which results in a monotonous texture and does not effectively stimulate the secretion of amylase, which is useful for digestion and nutrient absorption, in the mouth due to chewing movements, so there is much room for improvement.
[0008] In terms of ingredients, existing Zen foods are mainly made of grains, and some are mixed with vegetable powder, but there are not many healthy functional Zen foods that revitalize the human body and increase immunity. Research and development into Zen food ingredients that can effectively provide such ingredients for revitalizing the human body and increasing immunity, especially for preventing hair loss and promoting hair growth, is at a negligible level.
[0009] On the other hand, many health functional foods related to hair loss prevention have been released, and it is said that they have the effect of preventing hair loss and promoting hair growth when taken over a long period of time, but the reality is that their effects are very limited and minimal, and do not fully meet the needs of consumers with hair loss symptoms. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0010] The present invention has been devised to solve the above problems, and the object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a functional health food that contains nutrients essential for preventing hair loss, improving scalp condition, and hair growth, and that can function as a nutritionally balanced meal substitute and functional health food. [Means for solving the problem]
