A process for producing melatonin, serotonin, and tryptophan extracts from germinated bean seeds, germinated grain seeds, germinated sesame seeds, or germinated sunflower seeds.

Abstract

OCR 09WP 26 / 03 / 2569 A process for producing melatonin, serotonin, and tryptophan extracts from sprouted bean seeds or grain seeds. Germination, or the germination of sesame seeds or sunflower seeds, involves the process of preparing seeds for germination under stressful conditions. After saline treatment and the addition of external melatonin, melatonin, serotonin, and tryptophan were extracted using a solvent. Filter or separate the solution. Then, evaporate the solvent from the entire solution and use the melamine extract. The prepared tonin, serotonin, and tryptophan are mixed with sweeteners, anti-caking agents, and flavor enhancers. The extract is stable before drying and should be stored at a low temperature, in a dry, moisture-free, and light-free environment. Oxygen is used to prevent the breakdown of melatonin, serotonin, and tryptophan. The resulting extract can then be used. Benefits include its use as an ingredient in food or beverage products, functional foods or beverages, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, or Products for extending the shelf life of agricultural products.

Claims

OCR 09WP 26 / 03 / 2569 1. A process for producing melatonin, serotonin, and tryptophan extracts from germinated bean seeds or germinated grain seeds. The germination of sesame seeds or sunflower seeds involves several steps. A. Prepare germinated bean seeds, germinated grain seeds, germinated sesame seeds, or germinated sunflower seeds under the following conditions: Normal or stressful conditions caused by salt intake and supplemental melatonin. B. Extract melatonin, serotonin, and tryptophan from the germinated seeds prepared in step A using a solvent. The solvent is 70-80% ethanol, with the ratio of germinating seeds to solvent being between 1:4-8 (by weight). (Continued by volume) Add acid to bring the pH between 1-4, then soak and shake for 3 minutes. After 6 hours, filter or separate the solution. Evaporate the solvent from the entire solution. C. Next, mix the melatonin, serotonin, and tryptophan extracts prepared in step B with the other substances. Prevent coagulation and stabilize the extract before drying to reduce the moisture content to below 5%.
