[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a packaged fish oil soft candy product, and more particularly to a packaged high-concentration fish oil soft candy product. [Background technology]

[0002] Advances in medical technology and knowledge have allowed humans to discover that they can improve their physical health by ingesting nutrients from the outside world, with fish oil products rich in omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin D3 becoming extremely popular.

[0003] Omega-3 fatty acids are a type of polyunsaturated fatty acid that the human body cannot synthesize on its own. They have beneficial properties for human health, such as supporting heart health, anti-inflammatory effects, lowering blood pressure and triglycerides, and reducing bad cholesterol. Common omega-3 fatty acids include three major fatty acids: eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which are found primarily in marine organisms, and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), which is found primarily in vegetable oils from land plants. Vitamin D3 plays a role in maintaining bone, immune system, and overall body health. These two nutrients, in particular, have beneficial effects on the immune system, intelligence, and bone development in growing children.

[0004] Although complex fish oil supplements containing omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin D3 have been developed, fish oil supplements themselves still have a slight fishy smell, and existing swallowable packaged supplements are mainly intended for adults. As a result, children often have difficulty or are unable to take fish oil supplements, which reduces their motivation to take fish oil supplements.

[0005] Therefore, there remains a need to develop and provide a supplement form of fish oil complex that can increase children's motivation to take it so that they also receive nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin D3. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] The technical problem that this invention aims to solve is to address the shortcomings of the prior art by providing a highly concentrated fish oil soft candy packaged product that can provide sufficient omega-3 fatty acid components, helping to improve the health of users in various aspects.

[0022] It should be understood that although the present specification may use terms such as "first," "second," and "third" to describe various elements or signals, these elements or signals are not limited by these terms. These terms are primarily used to distinguish one element from another element or one signal from another signal. Furthermore, the term "or" used in the present specification may include any one or more combinations of the associated listed items, depending on the actual situation.

[0023] Unless otherwise specified, terms used in this invention have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art. Materials used in the following embodiments are commercially available materials or materials produced by conventional techniques unless otherwise specified. Methods or operations used in the following examples are common methods or operations in the art unless otherwise specified.

[0024] [First embodiment] 1 and 2, there are shown a three-dimensional view and an exploded view, respectively, of a packaged high-concentration fish oil soft candy product Z according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The packaged high-concentration fish oil soft candy product Z includes a package 1 and a soft candy structure 2. The package 1 includes a first sheet 11 and a second sheet 12. The soft candy structure 2 is contained between the first sheet 11 and the second sheet 12. The soft candy structure 2 may include an omega-3 fatty acid component as a main active ingredient, another functional ingredient, and a gelling agent, a sweetener, and an antioxidant as auxiliary ingredients.

[0025] Specifically, the first sheet 11 has a container 111, which has a shaped structure with a structural feature recessed in a direction away from the second sheet 12. The soft candy structures 2 are filled in the container 111, and the second sheet 12 is arranged on the first sheet 11 so as to enclose the container 111 and the soft candy structures 2 therein. In other words, the recessed container 111 forms a convex container protrusion 111' on the surface of the first sheet 11 that faces away from the second sheet 12. Essentially, the opening of the container 111 has a geometric shape, and in a specific embodiment, the geometric shape has an equivalent diameter D of 20 mm to 27 mm. The geometric shape may be any suitable shape, such as a circle, a polygon, or other shapes such as animals, plants, the sun, the moon, clouds, raindrops, or linguistic symbols, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In a specific embodiment, the depth of the storage section 111 is 3.5 mm to 5.5 mm. The first sheet body 11 includes a connecting section 112 extending outward from the opening of the storage section 111. The connecting section 112 is an extension structure for connecting the first sheet body 11 and the second sheet body 12. The first sheet body 11 and the second sheet body 12 can be connected by attaching the second sheet body 12 to the connecting section 112. In a specific embodiment, the material of the first sheet body 11 may be an aluminum foil composite structure. Specifically, the first sheet body 11 can be formed by punching an aluminum foil composite structure to form a downwardly concave structure, and the first sheet body 11 can have a certain degree of flexibility.

[0026] The second sheet body 12 is a thin, flexible sheet and may have an aluminum foil composite structure. The second sheet body 12 is placed on the first sheet body 11 by being bonded to the connecting portion 112. As a result, the second sheet body 12 closes the opening of the storage portion 111 so as to form a closed space between the second sheet body 12 and the first sheet body 11. In a specific embodiment, the thickness of the second sheet body 12 is smaller than the thickness of the aluminum foil of the first sheet body 11, so that the second sheet body 12 can have greater flexibility than the first sheet body 11.

[0027] 3, which shows a cross-sectional view of a high-concentration fish oil soft candy packaged product Z according to a first embodiment of the present invention. As can be seen from FIG. 3, the soft candy structure 2 is located between the second sheet body 12 and the first sheet body 11, and is filled into the container 111. The soft candy structure 2 has an outer surface 21 that forms its overall shape. The outer surface 21 is attached to the inner wall of the container 111 on the side closer to the first sheet body 11, and attached to the surface of the second sheet body 12 adjacent to the container 111 on the side closer to the second sheet body 12. In other words, in this embodiment, the soft candy structure 2 completely fills the container 111. However, in other possible embodiments, the soft candy structure 2 may only partially fill the container 111, or the outer surface 21 closer to the second sheet body 12 may not be attached to the second sheet body 12, or may only be partially attached to the second sheet body 12.

[0028] The soft candy structure 2 itself comprises an omega-3 fatty acid component as a main active ingredient, other functional ingredients, and a gelling agent, a sweetener, and an antioxidant as auxiliary ingredients, and these main active ingredients and auxiliary ingredients can be uniformly distributed throughout the soft candy structure 2. In a specific embodiment, the omega-3 fatty acid component of the soft candy structure 2 includes eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and the content of the eicosapentaenoic acid in the high-concentration fish oil soft candy packaged product Z is 50 mg to 100 mg, and the content of the docosahexaenoic acid in the high-concentration fish oil soft candy packaged product Z is 150 mg to 200 mg, assuming that the total weight of the soft candy structure 2 is 1.4 g. In a specific embodiment, the functional ingredients include medium-chain fatty acid triglycerides, vitamin D3, and vitamin E, and the content of vitamin D3 in the high-concentration fish oil soft candy packaged product Z is 4 μg (micrograms) to 5 μg.

[0029] It should also be understood that the absorption effect of fish oil is affected by its type. Fish oils are divided into three types: triglyceride (TG), esterified (EE), and re-esterified (rTG). Among these, TG is the type closest to natural sources; for example, most of the omega-3 fatty acids found in fish are TG. EE is obtained by esterifying TG fish oil and can achieve a higher concentration of omega-3 fatty acids than TG. However, research has shown that the absorption rate and effectiveness of omega-3 fatty acids in TG fish oil are superior to those of EE. Therefore, rTG fish oil was obtained by re-esterifying EE fish oil. In other words, rTG fish oil is produced by re-esterifying the high concentration of omega-3 fatty acids in EE fish oil to TG, combining the two advantages of the high concentration of omega-3 fatty acids in EE fish oil and the high absorption rate of TG fish oil.

[0030] Therefore, the omega-3 fatty acids in soft candy structure 2 of high-concentration fish oil soft candy packaging product Z of this invention use fish oil components extracted from small fish in clean waters (such as anchovies, sardines, mackerel, etc.) through a concentration and purification process, and use rTG-type fish oil, which has a high concentration of omega-3 fatty acids and a high absorption rate, so soft candy structure 2 of high-concentration fish oil soft candy packaging product Z has a high concentration of EPA and DHA nutrients, which are easily absorbed by the human body.

[0031] Gelling agents and sweeteners are auxiliary ingredients that impart a soft candy-like texture and sweetness to the soft candy structure 2. In certain embodiments, gelling agents include ingredients such as gelatin, gum arabic, and pectin. Sweeteners include xylitol, sorbitol, and steviol glycosides. In certain embodiments, the soft candy structure 2 may further include a flavor enhancer to enhance the flavor of the soft candy structure 2, such as sodium citrate, spices, and DL-malic acid. In certain embodiments, the auxiliary ingredients of the soft candy structure 2 may also include a food coloring, such as red pepper coloring, which allows the soft candy structure 2 to exhibit a specific color visual effect. In certain embodiments, the auxiliary ingredients of the soft candy structure 2 may also include an antioxidant, which may be L-ascorbic acid.

[0032] In addition, the soft candy dosage form of the soft candy structure 2 of the high-concentration fish oil soft candy packaged product Z of this invention uses a special emulsification technology, so after the user ingests the soft candy structure 2, the fatty acids in it are mixed evenly with the gastric juice without separating into layers, improving the absorption and utilization efficiency of the main active ingredients in the soft candy structure 2.

[0033] Therefore, the soft candy structure 2 of the high-concentration fish oil soft candy packaged product Z of the present invention can simultaneously possess the rich nutritional components of compound fish oil and the delicious texture and flavor of soft candy, greatly increasing the willingness of users (especially children) to consume it.

[0034] As shown in FIG. 4, FIG. 4 is a three-dimensional view of the high-concentration fish oil soft candy packaged product Z according to the first embodiment of the present invention, viewed from another perspective. Compared with the perspective of FIG. 1, the high-concentration fish oil soft candy packaged product Z in FIG. 1 is turned upside down 180 degrees in the perspective of FIG. 4 to show the outer surface of the entire second sheet body 12. When the second sheet body 12 is placed on the connecting portion 112 of the first sheet body 11, the second sheet body 12 and the connecting portion 112 can be further bonded or adhered to each other by providing an adhesive between the second sheet body 12 and the connecting portion 112 and / or by heating and pressurizing the second sheet body 12 and the connecting portion 112 together. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, the package 1 is divided into a pressing portion 13 formed by the joining of the second sheet body 12 and the connecting portion 112 and a space portion 14 that essentially forms and defines the receiving portion 111. In a specific embodiment, the pressed portion 13 may have a specific heat-pressed pattern. In other words, the pressed portion 13 is the portion where the first sheet body 11 and the second sheet body 12 of the packaging body 1 are joined together, and the space portion 14 is the portion that accommodates the soft candy structure 2. Therefore, the packaging body 1 formed from the first sheet body 11 and the second sheet body 12 in this manner can effectively block oxidative damage caused by light pollution, air, moisture, etc., and can maintain the freshness of the soft candy structure 2.

[0035] During use, since the first sheet body 11 and the second sheet body 12 contain a flexible aluminum foil material, the user can easily take out the soft candy structure 2 in the storage section 111 by tearing the first sheet body 11 or the second sheet body 12, and ingest the soft candy structure 2.

[0036] [Second embodiment] As shown in FIG. 5, this is a three-dimensional view of a packaged high-concentration fish oil soft candy product Z' according to a second embodiment of the present invention. Compared to the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the main difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the first sheet 11 of the package 1 is provided with multiple storage compartments 111 (not visible from the perspective of FIG. 5) and multiple storage protrusions 111'. Each storage compartment 111 is filled with a soft candy structure 2, forming a packaged structure containing multiple soft candy structures 2. Furthermore, the soft candy structures 2 can be enclosed within the multiple storage compartments 111 using a single second sheet 12 that can completely cover the openings of each storage compartment 111. In this way, a packaged form of fish oil soft candy that is convenient for mass production can be formed.
