Solution Overview

Problem

Existing fruit juice supplements lack enhanced antioxidant and anti-cancer properties, and methods to concentrate these properties without loss during processing are not effectively addressed.

Innovation Solution

A nutritious fruit juice supplement is developed using dark purple Passiflora edulis and an extract from Galium aparine, where the pH value is adjusted to enhance the interaction of phenolic acid from Galium aparine with flavonoids from Passiflora edulis, forming complexes with heavy metal enzyme-inhibitors to boost antioxidant and anti-cancer properties.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional fruit juice supplements are used, then basic nutritional value is provided, but antioxidant and anti-cancer properties are not enhanced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveantioxidant and anti-cancer propertiesVSAvoidfunctional enhancement capability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines passion fruit juice with Galium aparine extract to create a composite supplement that synergistically enhances antioxidant and anti-cancer properties. The phenolic acids from Galium aparine interact with flavonoids from passion fruit to form complexes with heavy metal enzyme-inhibitors, creating a multi-component system with superior health benefits compared to single-ingredient supplements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

Solution Approach 2:

The patent adjusts the pH value of the fruit juice supplement to optimize the interaction between phenolic acids and flavonoids. By controlling pH parameters, the formulation enhances the formation of complexes between Galium aparine extract components and passion fruit flavonoids, thereby maximizing antioxidant and anti-cancer efficacy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Quantity of substance

If concentration methods are applied to fruit juice, then potency is increased, but antioxidant and anti-cancer properties are lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconcentration of active compoundsVSAvoidantioxidant and anti-cancer properties
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs controlled pH adjustment as a parameter change strategy during concentration to preserve thermally sensitive compounds. By optimizing pH conditions, the concentration process maintains the stability of phenolic acids, flavonoids, and heavy metal enzyme-inhibitors, preventing degradation of antioxidant and anti-cancer properties while increasing compound concentration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The formation of complexes between Galium aparine phenolic acids and passion fruit flavonoids creates a stable composite structure that protects active compounds during concentration. These intermolecular interactions enhance the robustness of the active ingredients, allowing concentration without loss of biological activity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

AI summary

A nutritious fruit juice supplement with the major components coming from Passiflora edulis and Galium aparine, which contain several compounds including flavonoids, phenolic compounds, alkaloids, cyanogenic compounds, glycosides, vitamins A and C, riboflaurniacin, iron, magnesium, phosphorous, potassium, copper, terpenoid compounds, and protein. The innovating processing techniques increase the activity of antioxidant and anti-cancer properties already found in the fruit juice from P. edulis and G. aparine and create new compounds that should have additional antioxidant and anti-cancer properties.
