DESCRIZIONE DESCRIPTION
Annessa a domanda di brevetto per INVENZIONE INDUSTRIALE avente per titolo Attached to a patent application for INDUSTRIAL INVENTION having the title
“BARRETTA ENERGETICA ESSICCATA PER ALIMENTAZIONE “DRIED ENERGY BAR FOR POWER
VEGANO-CRUDISTA” VEGAN-RAWISH "
La presente invenzione si riferisce in termini generali ad una composizione alimentare vegano-crudista essiccata, che consiste in semi germogliati in miscela con frutta e/o verdura cruda fresca e/o secca, ed eventuali aromi. Stato dell’arte The present invention refers in general terms to a dried vegan-raw food composition, which consists of sprouted seeds mixed with fresh and / or dried raw fruit and / or vegetables, and any flavorings. State of the art
È nota nell’arte da ormai parecchi anni uno stile di vita chiamato veganismo. Una delle caratteristiche essenziali del veganismo consiste nel consumare solo cibi e derivati alimentari di natura vegetale, cioè non animale o di origine animale. Oltre a tale alimentazione vegana, si para di alimentazione vegano-crudista nel caso in cui i principi vegani siano combinati con un’alimentazione così detta “crudista”, che contempla cioè l‘utilizzo di cibi crudi, non cotti. A questo proposito, per cibi crudi si intendono nell’arte, quei cibi che sono consumati senza aver subito alcun trattamento termico sostanziale, cioè ad una temperatura superiore ai 42-45° C. La temperatura massima di 45° C, infatti, è nota essere la temperatura di riferimento al di sopra della quale un cibo o un alimento in generale viene considerato cotto. Al di sotto di tale temperatura il cibo, pur venendo essiccato, viene comunque inteso come cibo crudo. A lifestyle called veganism has been known in art for several years now. One of the essential characteristics of veganism consists in consuming only foods and food derivatives of a vegetable nature, that is, not animal or of animal origin. In addition to this vegan diet, vegan-raw food is considered if the vegan principles are combined with a so-called "raw food" diet, which includes the use of raw, uncooked foods. In this regard, raw foods are understood in art as those foods that are consumed without having undergone any substantial heat treatment, that is, at a temperature above 42-45 ° C. The maximum temperature of 45 ° C, in fact, is known. be the reference temperature above which a food or a food in general is considered cooked. Below this temperature, food, even if it is dried, is still understood as raw food.
In linea con quanto sopra, anche nell’alimentazione vegano-crudista sono ammessi solo trattamenti termici di essiccamento a temperature inferiori a 45° C, effettuati ad esempio mediante l‘utilizzo di essiccatori per uso alimentare facilmente reperibili e disponibili in commercio. In line with the above, even in the vegan-raw food diet, only drying heat treatments at temperatures below 45 ° C are allowed, carried out for example through the use of food dryers that are readily available and commercially available.
Per venire incontro alle esigenze di chi segue questo tipo di regime alimentare, esistono in commercio cibi e prodotti caratterizzati dal fatto di non contenere composti o sostanze di origine animale e di non essere stati sottoposti ad alcun tipo di cottura. Esistono anche prodotti comprendenti frutta secca o frutta essiccata, intesi come integratori energetici, che tuttavia non possono essere considerati adatti allo stile vegano-crudista poiché o sono ottenuti mediante cottura, oppure contengono derivati animali o prodotti cotti, quali miele e zucchero raffinato. To meet the needs of those who follow this type of diet, there are foods and products on the market that are characterized by the fact that they do not contain compounds or substances of animal origin and that they have not been subjected to any type of cooking. There are also products including dried fruit or dried fruit, intended as energy supplements, which however cannot be considered suitable for the vegan-raw food style because they are either obtained by cooking, or they contain animal derivatives or cooked products, such as honey and refined sugar.
Anche se l’alimentazione vegana-crudista preclude il consumo di prodotti animali e cotti, i valori nutrizionali introdotti con tale dieta sono solitamente equilibrati e ben distribuiti. Tuttavia, in alcuni casi, può esserci la necessità da parte de soggetto che segue tale dieta di utilizzare integratori alimentari che consistono ad esempio in vitamina B12, spirulina, bacche di goji, minerali e simili. Even if the raw vegan diet precludes the consumption of animal and cooked products, the nutritional values introduced with this diet are usually balanced and well distributed. However, in some cases, there may be a need on the part of the subject following this diet to use food supplements which consist for example of vitamin B12, spirulina, goji berries, minerals and the like.
Resta pertanto la necessità di trovare un alimento utilizzabile in una dieta vegano-crudista che associ ad un gradevole sapore anche un contenuto nutrizionale ed energetico, particolarmente richiesto o desiderato da un soggetto fedele a tale dieta. There remains therefore the need to find a food that can be used in a vegan-raw food diet that combines a pleasant taste with a nutritional and energy content, particularly required or desired by a subject faithful to this diet.
Sommario dell’invenzione Summary of the invention
In un primo aspetto, l’invenzione si riferisce ad una composizione alimentare vegano-crudista essiccata, che consiste in semi germogliati in miscela con frutta e/o con verdura fresca e/o secca, ed eventuali aromi. In a first aspect, the invention refers to a dried vegan-raw food composition, which consists of sprouted seeds mixed with fresh and / or dried fruit and / or vegetables, and any flavorings.
In un ulteriore aspetto, l’invenzione si riferisce ad un processo per la preparazione della composizione alimentare di cui sopra, che comprende: In a further aspect, the invention refers to a process for the preparation of the aforementioned food composition, which includes:
1. Germogliare i semi in acqua per almeno 3 ore a temperatura ambiente; 1. Sprout the seeds in water for at least 3 hours at room temperature;
2. Unire i semi germogliati con frutta e/o verdura fresca e/o secca; 3. Essiccare la composizione alimentare ottenuta ad una temperatura inferiore a 45° C. 2. Combine the sprouted seeds with fresh and / or dried fruit and / or vegetables; 3. Dry the food composition obtained at a temperature below 45 ° C.
Descrizione dettagliata Detailed description
La presente composizione alimentare è caratterizzata dal fatto di contenere semi germogliati, uniti a frutta e/o verdura, fresche e/o secche, il tutto essiccato ad una temperatura inferiore ai 45° C. In questo modo, l’alimento ottenuto risulta adatto ad un regime alimentare di tipo veganocrudista. Pertanto, la presente composizione è anche caratterizzata dal fatto di non contenere ingredienti o derivati alimentari che siano cotti (intesi come sottoposti ad un trattamento termico ad una temperatura superiore di 45° C) e di non contenere prodotti o derivati animali. Pertanto, la presente composizione non contiene miele, zucchero raffinato e altri ingredienti simili. The present food composition is characterized by the fact that it contains sprouted seeds, combined with fresh and / or dried fruit and / or vegetables, all dried at a temperature below 45 ° C. In this way, the food obtained is suitable for a veganocrudist diet. Therefore, the present composition is also characterized by the fact that it does not contain ingredients or food derivatives that are cooked (intended as subjected to a heat treatment at a temperature higher than 45 ° C) and that it does not contain animal products or derivatives. Therefore, the present composition does not contain honey, refined sugar and other similar ingredients.
In una forma di realizzazione, i semi germogliati della presente invenzione sono una miscela di: semi germogliati di lino, semi di chia (o salvia hispanica), semi di girasole e di mandorlo (mandorle). In aggiunta, possono essere presenti anche semi germogliati di sesamo, zucca e simili. L’utilizzo di semi germogliati permette di aumentare il contributo calorico ed energetico dei semi utilizzati. A questo proposito, infatti, la richiedente ha trovato che la composizione dell’invenzione mostra valori energetici e quantità di acidi grassi e omega tre, particolarmente indicati per soggetti vegano-crudisti. Come dimostrato dalla qui acclusa parte sperimentale, la presente composizione è in grado di fornire al soggetto vegano crudista elevate concentrazione di alcuni nutrienti che possono essere carenti in una tipica dieta vegano-crudista. Dalla tabella, in particolare, si evince che la presente composizione alimentare essiccata, è ricca in calcio, zinco, ferro, vitamina E, acido oleico e omega 3. In one embodiment, the sprouted seeds of the present invention are a mixture of: sprouted flax seeds, chia seeds (or salvia hispanica), sunflower and almond (almond) seeds. In addition, sprouted seeds of sesame, pumpkin and the like may also be present. The use of sprouted seeds allows you to increase the caloric and energy contribution of the seeds used. In this regard, in fact, the applicant has found that the composition of the invention shows energy values and quantities of fatty acids and omega three, particularly suitable for vegan-raw food subjects. As demonstrated by the enclosed experimental part, the present composition is able to provide the raw food vegan subject with high concentrations of some nutrients that may be lacking in a typical raw vegan diet. From the table, in particular, it can be seen that the present dried food composition is rich in calcium, zinc, iron, vitamin E, oleic acid and omega 3.
Preferibilmente, detti semi germogliati sono uniti a frutta fresca, ad esempio mela, pera, banana, pesca, albicocca, essendo mela ed uvetta, da soli o in miscela, particolarmente preferiti. Preferibilmente, la composizione consiste in semi germogliati in miscela con frutta e/o verdura fresche, ancor più preferibilmente da coltivazioni biologiche. Preferably, said sprouted seeds are combined with fresh fruit, for example apple, pear, banana, peach, apricot, apple and raisins, alone or in mixture, being particularly preferred. Preferably, the composition consists of sprouted seeds mixed with fresh fruit and / or vegetables, even more preferably from organic crops.
In aggiunta o in sostituzione alla frutta fresca, è possibile utilizzare frutta secca e/o verdura. In quest’ultimo caso, l’uso della verdura, preferibilmente fresca, permette sia di mantenere un elevato contenuto energetico, che di rispettare i requisiti richiesti da un’alimentazione vagano-crudista, conferendo al prodotto un gradevole sapore salato. In addition to or instead of fresh fruit, dried fruit and / or vegetables can be used. In the latter case, the use of vegetables, preferably fresh, allows both to maintain a high energy content and to comply with the requirements of a raw-food diet, giving the product a pleasant salty flavor.

Essiccare la composizione alimentare ottenuta ad una temperatura inferiore a 45° C. to. Germinate the seeds in water for at least 3 hours at room temperature (understood between about 15 ° C and about 30 ° C); b. Combine the sprouted seeds with fresh and / or dried fruit and / or vegetables; c. Dry the food composition obtained at a temperature below 45 ° C.
Come sopra indicato, il prodotto alimentare ottenuto con il presente processo è utilizzabile in un regime alimentare di tipo vegano-crudista. Il processo dell’invenzione, infatti, contempla l‘utilizzo di sole sostanze vegetali crude, e non comprende alcun trattamento di cottura. Pertanto, in un aspetto aggiuntivo, l’invenzione riguarda anche un prodotto alimentare vegano-crudista ottenuto (o ottenibile) con il presente processo. As indicated above, the food product obtained with this process can be used in a vegan-raw food diet. The process of the invention, in fact, contemplates the use of only raw vegetable substances, and does not include any cooking treatment. Therefore, in an additional aspect, the invention also relates to a vegan-raw food product obtained (or obtainable) with the present process.
In maggior dettaglio, il passaggio a. di germogliazione avviene preferibilmente immergendo in acqua i semi di cui sopra, per il tempo necessario affinché avvenga il processo naturale di germogliazione. Tale tempo dipende in generale dal tipo di seme utilizzato ed è preferibilmente di almeno 3 ore, ad una temperatura compresa tra circa 15 e 30° C (temperatura ambiente). In questo modo è possibile attivare gli enzimi contenuti nei semi, aumentando il valore nutrizionale, in particolare proteico, degli stessi. I semi germogliati, inoltre, risultano molto più digeribili e ricchi di nutrienti rispetto ai semi di partenza, non germogliati. In more detail, the passage a. sprouting preferably takes place by immersing the above seeds in water, for the time necessary for the natural sprouting process to take place.
