Description

[Technical Field] The present invention relates to a powdered food that enables immediate nutrient supplementation in disaster prevention and emergency situations, and is particularly an innovative food that combines long-term storage, portability and convenience. [Background Art] Current disaster prevention foods are mainly canned foods and retort pouch foods, which are inconvenient to carry. Although energy-supplementing foods (such as Calorie Mate) exist, "disaster-prevention-specialized nutritional powdered foods" are underdeveloped. While proteins and powdered soups are available on the market, "disaster-prevention-specialized nutritional powdered foods" remain underdeveloped. Problems to be Solved by the Invention 1. There is a demand for lightweight disaster prevention foods that can be stored for a long term. 2. A form that allows nutrient supplementation just by mixing with water is required. 3. By forming a jelly, it is necessary to make a form that is easy for elderly people and children to ingest. Means for Solving the Problems The present invention solves the above problems by having the following constitution. 1. Optimization of nutritional balance (vitamins, minerals, proteins). 2. Adoption of jelly-forming technology (easy to swallow). 3. Long-term storage stability provided by powdered form. 4. Through concentration and reconstitution, the same taste as everyday meals is reproduced. Accordingly, the present invention also functions as a daily health food, and enables rapid nutrient supplementation in the event of a disaster.
