Description

Settore della tecnicaTechnical sector

[0001] La presente invenzione si riferisce al settore farmaco-alimentare. Più dettagliatamente la presente invenzione si riferisce ad una nuova composizione di alimenti naturali comprendenti sostanze benefiche per lo stato di salute dell’organismo umano. La composizione in oggetto si presta ad essere utilizzata come integratore alimentare nutraceutico. [0001] The present invention relates to the pharmaceutical-food sector. More in detail, the present invention refers to a new composition of natural foods comprising substances beneficial for the state of health of the human organism. The composition in question is suitable for use as a nutraceutical food supplement.

Stato dell’arteState of art

[0002] È ormai riconosciuto da moltissimo tempo l’interesse verso lo studio di alimenti che abbiano una funzione benefica sull’organismo umano. Questi alimenti vengono tipicamente designati come alimenti funzionali o farma-alimenti ovvero alimenti salutari che, oltre a comprendere componenti propriamente nutraceutici, presentano anche componenti nutrizionali selezionati per caratteristiche quali l’alta digeribilità e l’ipoallergenicità. Più in dettaglio, le sostanze nutraceutiche sono generalmente derivate dalle piante, dagli alimenti e da fonti microbiche. I nutraceutici per eccellenza sono gli antiossidanti, ma vi sono anche i probiotici, gli acidi grassi polinstauri come gli omega-3 e gli omega-6, le vitamine e i complessi enzimatici. Tipicamente queste sostanze vengono utilizzate per prevenire le malattie croniche, migliorare lo stato di salute, ritardare il processo di invecchiamento ed aumentare l’aspettativa di vita. I nutraceutici possono essere assunti nella dieta di alimenti funzionali, sia sotto forma di cibo tal quale che di cibo arricchito di uno specifico principio attivo, ad es. latte arricchito con vitamina-D o acidi omega-3. Possono essere assunti anche in forma di integratori alimentari in formulazioni liquide, in compresse o capsule. Gli alimenti a cui sono solitamente attribuite proprietà nutraceutiche sono: l’uva rossa, che contiene l’antiossidante resveratrolo; i prodotti che contengono fibre solubili, come la buccia del seme del plantago per ridurre l’ipercolesterolemia; i broccoli, in grado di prevenire varie forme di tumori; la soia, che contiene isoflavoni per migliorare la salute delle arterie; e ancora il vino rosso; la frutta; il latte di capra ecc. Altri esempi di nutraceutici sono gli antiossidanti flavonoidi, antociani di more e mirtilli, gli omega-3 (derivati dall’olio di pesce), e il licopene. Anche molti estratti botanici come il ginseng, aglio, etc. possiedono proprietà nutraceutiche. Come accennato, le sostanze nutraceutiche possono essere assunte, da parte dell’organismo umano anche sotto forma di integratori alimentari. Si tratta in quest’ultimo caso di quei prodotti specifici volti a favorire l’assunzione di determinati principi nutritivi non presenti in una dieta non corretta. [0002] The interest in the study of foods that have a beneficial function on the human organism has been recognized for a very long time. These foods are typically designated as functional foods or pharma-foods or healthy foods that, in addition to comprising properly nutraceutical components, also have nutritional components selected for characteristics such as high digestibility and hypoallergenicity. More in detail, nutraceutical substances are generally derived from plants, foods and microbial sources. The nutraceuticals par excellence are antioxidants, but there are also probiotics, polinstauri fatty acids such as omega-3s and omega-6s, vitamins and enzyme complexes. Typically these substances are used to prevent chronic diseases, improve health, delay the aging process and increase life expectancy. The nutraceuticals can be taken in the diet of functional foods, both in the form of food as such and of food enriched with a specific active ingredient, for example. milk enriched with vitamin D or omega-3 acids. They can also be taken in the form of food supplements in liquid formulations, in tablets or capsules. The foods to which nutraceutical properties are usually attributed are: red grapes, which contain the antioxidant resveratrol; products containing soluble fiber, such as the seed peel of the plantago to reduce hypercholesterolemia; broccoli, able to prevent various forms of cancer; soy, which contains isoflavones to improve arterial health; and still the red wine; fruit; goat's milk etc. Other examples of nutraceuticals are flavonoid antioxidants, blackberry and blueberry anthocyanins, omega-3s (derived from fish oil), and lycopene. Also many botanical extracts such as ginseng, garlic, etc. possess nutraceutical properties. As mentioned, nutraceutical substances can be taken by the human body even in the form of food supplements. In the latter case it is the case of those specific products aimed at favoring the assumption of certain nutrients not present in an incorrect diet.

[0003] Scopo della presente invenzione è quello di fornire una nuova composizione nutraceutica di alimenti, da assumersi con un regime simile a quello che prevede l’assunzione degli integratori alimentari più diffusi. In particolare la presente invenzione, qui di seguito dettagliatamente descritta, propone una composizione ottenuta da una nuova combinazione di alimenti naturali dei quali sono ampiamente riconosciuti gli effetti benefici sull’organismo umano. Più in dettaglio la composizione nutraceutica oggetto dell’invenzione comprende una «matrice» a base di cacao e crusca, unitamente ad altre sostanze quali tintura madre di carote e tintura madre di rosa canina. È difatti noto che il cacao, grazie al suo contenuto di sali minerali, vitamine e carboidrati, sia un alimento molto energetico e che contenga peraltro una buona quantità di sostanze antiossidanti in grado di attaccare i radicali liberi e rallentare il processo di invecchiamento cellulare. Recenti studi hanno infatti dimostrato che l’assunzione di un quantitativo di cacao pari a circa 20 g giornalieri contribuisca all’allungamento della vita. Inoltre, la teobromina presente nel cacao, insieme alla caffeina, ha la proprietà di aumentare la concentrazione e la prontezza dei riflessi, mentre la serotonina, anch’essa contenuta nel cacao, ha la capacità di sostenere il sistema nervoso in caso di depressione. È inoltre noto che la tiramina, ulteriore componente del cacao, venga impiegata per la preparazione di farmaci antidepressivi. Tutti gli studi condotti sul cacao confermano che i maggiori benefici all’organismo umano, sono apportati dal consumo di cioccolato amaro. In particolare, solo nel cacao amaro, l’epicatechina, un flavonoide che conferisce il classico gusto amaro, è in grado di mantenere inalterate le sue proprietà antiossidanti. [0003] The object of the present invention is to provide a new nutraceutical composition of foods, to be taken with a regime similar to that which involves the intake of the most widespread food supplements. In particular the present invention, described in detail hereinafter, proposes a composition obtained from a new combination of natural foods of which the beneficial effects on the human organism are widely recognized. More in detail the nutraceutical composition object of the invention includes a "matrix" based on cocoa and bran, together with other substances such as mother tincture of carrots and mother-of-rose tincture of dog rose. It is in fact known that cocoa, thanks to its content of mineral salts, vitamins and carbohydrates, is a very energetic food and that it contains a good quantity of antioxidant substances able to attack free radicals and slow down the cellular aging process. Recent studies have in fact shown that the intake of a quantity of cocoa equal to about 20 g per day contributes to the lengthening of life. Furthermore, the theobromine present in cocoa, together with caffeine, has the property of increasing concentration and alertness, while serotonin, also contained in cocoa, has the ability to support the nervous system in the event of depression. It is also known that tyramine, a further component of cocoa, is used for the preparation of antidepressant drugs. All the studies conducted on cocoa confirm that the greatest benefits to the human organism are brought by the consumption of bitter chocolate. In particular, only in bitter cocoa, epicatechin, a flavonoid that gives the classic bitter taste, is able to maintain its antioxidant properties unchanged.

[0004] La crusca presenta svariate proprietà che spesso differiscono in base al tipo di crusca. In genere, comunque, la crusca agevola il transito intestinale, stimola la motilità del colon, è inoltre utile per combattere sovrappeso e obesità, e in tutti quei casi in cui si voglia contrastare l’iperalimentazione. Gonfiandosi a livello gastrico, ha un elevatissimo indice di sazietà ed è piuttosto povera di calorie. La crusca aiuta inoltre a ridurre l’assorbimento di grassi e zuccheri ed è dunque un alimento salutare anche in caso di trigliceridi o colesterolo alto, come nei soggetti con intolleranza al glucosio. L’assunzione di crusca è inoltre importante per la produzione di acido butirrico. Quest’ultimo, se da un lato rappresenta una fonte energetica importante per le cellule della mucosa intestinale, promuovendone la replicazione, dall’altro inibisce la proliferazione delle cellule cancerose, con possibile effetto protettivo nei confronti del cancro al colon. Un giusto quantitativo di acido butirrico viene perciò considerato necessario per la salute metabolica della mucosa intestinale e, in generale, per l’intero organismo. Come accennato la composizione in oggetto apporta benefici all’organismo grazie anche alla presenza di tintura madre di carote e tintura madre di rosa canina. È difatti noto che le carote siano ricchissime di caroteni, i pigmenti che dall’organismo vengono trasformati in vitamina A. Le carote contengono anche amido e hanno un basso contenuto di proteine e grassi; contengono zuccheri direttamente assimilabili, fibre e vitamine minerali come la vitamina B1, B2, e PP, calcio, ferro, magnesio, fosforo e potassio. Le proprietà benefiche delle carote derivano maggiormente dalla presenza del β-carotene che svolge un’azione di prevenzione contro il cancro e malattie cardiovascolari. Il β-carotene è infatti un antiossidante efficace contro i radicali liberi. Inoltre, le fibre di cui anche sono ricche, migliorano il transito intestinale e diminuiscono il livello di colesterolo nel sangue, riducendo così il rischio di degenerazione maculare. Gli effetti benefici della rosa canina sono invece prevalentemente riconducibili alla sua ricchezza di vitamina C, vitamina A e vitamina B. In particolare la vitamina C, che nella rosa canina si stima essere addirittura superiore a quella contenuta negli agrumi, rafforza il sistema immunitario, riduce la febbre, contrasta i calcoli biliari, l’artrite reumatoica, i dolori articolari, renali e di stomaco e la rigidità articolare. Svariati studi scientifici hanno infatti dimostrato che il consumo costante e corretto di rosa canina apporta vantaggi significativi nei pazienti malati di artrite reumatoide, contribuendo a diminuire il dolore e la rigidità articolare e promuovendo una sensazione generale di benessere non indifferente. [0004] Bran has several properties that often differ according to the type of bran. In general, however, the bran facilitates intestinal transit, stimulates the motility of the colon, it is also useful for fighting overweight and obesity, and in all those cases in which we wish to counteract overeating. Inflating to the stomach, it has a very high satiety index and is rather low in calories. The bran also helps reduce the absorption of fat and sugar and is therefore a healthy food even in the case of triglycerides or high cholesterol, as in people with glucose intolerance. Bran intake is also important for the production of butyric acid. The latter, if on one side represents an important energy source for the cells of the intestinal mucosa, promoting its replication, on the other it inhibits the proliferation of cancer cells, with a possible protective effect against colon cancer. A correct amount of butyric acid is therefore considered necessary for the metabolic health of the intestinal mucosa and, in general, for the whole organism. As mentioned, the composition in question brings benefits to the organism thanks also to the presence of mother tincture of carrots and dog rose mother tincture. It is indeed known that carrots are very rich in carotenes, the pigments that are transformed by the body into vitamin A. Carrots also contain starch and have a low content of proteins and fats; they contain directly assimilable sugars, mineral fibers and vitamins such as vitamin B1, B2, and PP, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus and potassium. The beneficial properties of carrots derive mainly from the presence of β-carotene which acts as a prevention against cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Β-carotene is in fact an antioxidant effective against free radicals. Furthermore, the fibers of which are also rich, improve intestinal transit and decrease the level of cholesterol in the blood, thus reducing the risk of macular degeneration. The beneficial effects of wild rose are mainly due to its richness in vitamin C, vitamin A and vitamin B. In particular, vitamin C, which in dogs is estimated to be even higher than that contained in citrus fruits, strengthens the immune system, reduces fever, counteracts gallstones, rheumatoic arthritis, joint, kidney and stomach pain and joint stiffness. Several scientific studies have in fact shown that the constant and correct consumption of rosehip brings significant advantages in patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, helping to decrease pain and joint stiffness and promoting a general feeling of not indifferent well-being.

Descrizione dell’invenzioneDescription of the invention

[0005] Oggetto della presente domanda di brevetto per invenzione industriale è una nuova composizione nutraceutica di alimenti naturali atta, quando assunta dall’organismo umano, ad apportare a questo effetti benefici in termini di rallentamento dei naturali processi ossidativi tipici dell’invecchiamento, e di miglioramento dei tessuti cardiovascolari. Più dettagliatamente la composizione in oggetto comprende pasta di cacao amaro come fonte di: carboidrati, proteine, fibre, minerali quali calcio, ferro, magnesio, zinco, rame, manganese, selenio, vitamine quali Tiamina (Vit. B1), Riboflavina (Vit. B2), Niacina (Vit. B3), Acido pantotenico (Vit. B5), Piridossina (Vit. B6), Alpha tocoferolo (Vit. E), Fillochinone (Vit. K); crusca come fonte di fibre; tintura madre di carote come fonte di β-carotene e acido retinoico; tintura madre di rosa canina, come fonte, principalmente, di vitamina C. La rosa canina contiene inoltre tannini, acido nicotinico, carotenoidi, acido malico, acido citrico, flavonoidi, pectine e carboidarati. La composizione della rosa canina è tale che venga utilizzata come vitaminizzante, antinfiammatorio, vaso-protettore, antinfettivo, immunostimolante, diuretico, antiradicalico-antiossidante, e per altri impieghi fitoterapici. [0005] Object of the present patent application for industrial invention is a new nutraceutical composition of natural foods suitable, when taken by the human organism, to bring to this beneficial effects in terms of slowing down the natural oxidative processes typical of aging, and improvement of cardiovascular tissues. More specifically, the composition in question includes bitter cocoa paste as a source of: carbohydrates, proteins, fibers, minerals such as calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc, copper, manganese, selenium, vitamins such as thiamine (Vit. B1), Riboflavin (Vit. B2), Niacin (Vit. B3), Pantothenic acid (Vit. B5), Pyridoxine (Vit. B6), Alpha tocopherol (Vit. E), Phylloquinone (Vit. K); bran as a source of fiber; mother tincture of carrots as a source of β-carotene and retinoic acid; mother-tincture of wild rose, as a source, mainly, of vitamin C. Dog rose also contains tannins, nicotinic acid, carotenoids, malic acid, citric acid, flavonoids, pectins and carboidarates. The composition of wild rose is such that it is used as a vitaminizing, anti-inflammatory, vessel-protector, anti-infective, immunostimulant, diuretic, anti-radical, antioxidant, and for other phytotherapeutic uses.

[0006] La composizione in oggetto, rappresenta in sostanza una combinazione di prodotti naturali che apportano benefici all’organismo umano. In particolare, i polifenoli contenuti nel cacao amaro sono potenti antiossidanti che reagiscono con i radicali liberi, impedendo conseguentemente a questi ultimi di reagire con le cellule dell’organismo umano danneggiandole. Ne consegue così un ritardo dell’invecchiamento cellulare dell’organismo umano. [0006] The composition in question essentially represents a combination of natural products that bring benefits to the human organism. In particular, the polyphenols contained in bitter cocoa are powerful antioxidants that react with free radicals, consequently preventing them from reacting with the cells of the human body and damaging them. The result is a delay in the cellular aging of the human organism.
