Spleen Tonifying Nutritional Composition with Precise Ingredient Ratios
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current health-care foods for tonifying the spleen are often poorly formulated, leading to ineffective dampness removal and unpleasant taste, failing to provide lasting benefits for individuals with sub-health conditions caused by heavy dampness.
Innovation Solution
A nutritional composition comprising rice, soybean, Semen coicis, Gorgon euryale seed, poria, Chinese date, and a Chinese herbal medicine extract, processed through steps including purification, frying, grinding, granulation, and drying, to create a balanced and palatable food product that effectively tonifies the spleen and removes dampness.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional cupping and scraping methods are used to tonify the spleen and remove dampness, then temporary relief is achieved, but the effects are not lasting
Solution Approach 1:
The nutritional composition is designed to be taken in advance as a dietary supplement, preparing and tonifying the spleen before dampness problems worsen, thereby achieving lasting preventive and therapeutic effects rather than temporary relief from acute symptoms
2Ease of manufacture
If existing health-care foods for tonifying the spleen are used, then they are available on the market, but the matching of different foods is chaotic and does not follow pharmacology
Solution Approach 1:
The patent specifies precise weight ratios for each ingredient (e.g., poria 0.4-1.6 parts, Chinese date 0.3-1.5 parts) based on pharmacological principles, transforming the chaotic formulation of existing products into a scientifically optimized composition with controlled parameters that ensure both availability and formulation accuracy
3Ease of manufacture
If existing health-care foods for tonifying the spleen are used, then they are available on the market, but they have relatively bad taste
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple ingredients with complementary functions: poria and Semen coicis for dampness removal, Chinese date and Gorgon euryale seed for sweet taste and spleen tonification, and rice as a neutral carrier. This merging of ingredients with different taste profiles creates a balanced flavor that is both palatable and therapeutically effective
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The composition achieves effective tonification of the spleen and removal of dampness, providing lasting health benefits and a pleasant taste, suitable for long-term consumption as a daily dietary supplement.
Implementation Method 1
drying the mixed rice grains through a microwave dryer, wherein a water content of the material is kept below 12%
Implementation Method 2
extruding the rice powder obtained in step 3 through a double-screw extruder, followed by gelatinization and granulation
Implementation Method 3
extruding the rice powder obtained in step 3 through a double-screw extruder
