CONSTITUTION:A healthy nutriment obtained by drying whole folk medicinal herbs, such as Gynostemma pentaphyllum Makino and Houttuynia cordata Thunb. and powdering the dried herbs. The Houttuynia cordata Thunb. is used in an amount of 1.5 times based on the Gynostemma pentaphyllum Makino and powdered as finely as possible. The resultant powder is subsequently used as a culture medium required for fermenting yeast fungi and water and saccharides are added to provide a culture medium. Yeast fungal spawns are then inoculated to keep the obtained culture medium at 37-38 deg.C and propagate the yeast fungi. A wheat bran KOJI (yeast) is subsequently blended to carry out brewing and aging and the resultant substance is dried. A lactic acid solution obtained by fermenting lactic acid bacteria is then added thereto, stirred and permeated to afford the objective substance. Collective effects of the Gynostemma pentaphyllum Makino and Houttuynia cordata Thunb. can be combined with effects of the yeast fungi to provide universal combined effects.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] Although both Amacha zuru and Dokudami have a wide variety of medicinal effects and are versatile and extraordinary materials, they have been developed using Chinese herbal methods. demand is on the decline. On the other hand, among the wide variety of drugs, health supplements, and nutritional supplements on the market, there is still no one that attempts to incorporate both the effects of sweet tea and dokudami.

Therefore, if we combine the collective effects of Amachazuru and Dokudami with the effects brought about by the beneficial fermentation bacteria produced by yeast, we will be able to provide a versatile combination of effects that is unimaginable under conventional wisdom, and this will lead to an increase in health consciousness. Nowadays, many people's wishes are fulfilled, and the benefits of doing so are immeasurable. What resulted was the health and nutritional supplement of the present invention.

(Conventional technology) Traditionally, the methods used for folk medicinal herbs such as sweet tea vine and dokudami, and botanical herbal medicines in Chinese medicine can be summarized into six types: steeping, infusion, boiling, tea, powder, and extract. This is a method that Among these methods, amacha zuru and dokudami mainly involve roasting,
It has relied on three methods: boiled, tea, and method, and has adopted the medicinal effects of each method, and these methods are still practiced today.

On the other hand, with the advancement of science, recent medicines, health pills, nutritional supplements, etc. have been chemically synthesized using modern technology, and pharmaceuticals in particular have reached the point where they can treat all kinds of symptoms, but their effectiveness remains unknown. In general, it is oriented towards single items and single effects.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

As long as we try to incorporate the medicinal effects of Amachazuru and Dokudami through methods of roasting, boiling, and tea in accordance with Chinese herbal methods, it is difficult to hope for greater effects than the present ones. The reason is that roasting, boiling, and tea methods are heat treatment methods, and heating causes decomposition of medicinal ingredients, which negates their medicinal efficacy. This is due to waste disposal practices that ignore the substance.

In addition, it is a common problem not only in Amachazuru and Dokudami, but also in other Chinese herbal medicines and folk medicinal herbs, and is a cause of greatly inhibiting the original medicinal effects of medicinal herbs.

In addition, in the case of Chinese herbal medicines, special skills are required to mix the medicinal materials, as they are physically complicated to handle, such as replacing medicinal materials, adjusting heat, water volume, and medicinal liquid volume.

A method for solving the above-mentioned problems or drawbacks is to dry and powder the whole plant according to the present invention. This prevents decomposition and wear and tear of the medicinal ingredients, makes effective use of the constituent substances of the material, and eliminates the need for fibrous properties.

However, as a result of experiments, it was found that the effects of simply powdering were too sharp and did not suit the body, so this was done in order to remove this factor and to add a complementary effect. The purpose is to utilize the effects of the fermentation action of beneficial fermenting bacteria.

[Means for solving problems]

After drying the whole plants of Amachazuru and Dokudami, they are powdered and mixed together. It is desirable to make the powder as fine as possible, and the mixing ratio is 1.5 for Dokudami and Amachazuru.
It was doubled.

The mixed powder in the previous section is used as a culture medium necessary for yeast fermentation,
Add water and sugar to this. The sugar content should be equal to that of brown sugar and honeycomb, and the moisture content should be between the liquid medium and solid medium.

When the above-mentioned culture medium is inoculated with yeast inoculum and maintained at a constant temperature of 37° to 38°, fermentation begins, and the yeast bacteria multiply in large quantities to complete the fermentation.

After the yeast has finished growing in large quantities, the prepared fu and koji are mixed together, and a period of time is allowed for the two to ripen. Fu koji is produced by inoculating wheat malt with koji mold (Aspergillus oryzae No. 2, or NK bacteria) and fermenting and propagating it.

After the above-mentioned ripening period, it is dried and a lactic acid solution obtained by fermentation of lactic acid bacteria is added thereto. In this case, the method is simply to add lactic acid components to the powder of sweet tea, dokudami, and fu koji, and after stirring and permeation, drying is performed again to proceed to the final pulverization process. Everything you started is completed.

Two types of lactic acid bacteria, Bulgaricus bacillus and Bifidobacterium, were used in the experiment.

[Effect]

Having completed all of the processes mentioned above, Amacha Zuru and Dokudami is no longer just a folk medicinal herb, and has at least 10 different effects when combined with its own special effects and the special effects of yeast and other bacteria. Dokudami contains a large amount of quertetrin, which is extremely rare and minute in other medicinal herbs, and niacin and choline are also the main sources of dokudami's effects.

Amacha zuru is rich in saponin components comparable to Korean ginseng and Ezo silkworm, which amplifies the collective effect of dokudami, and yeast bacteria produce nutritional supplements such as yeast agents, enzyme agents, and vitamin B complex through fermentation. It produces effects that play an important role.

Fu koji contains starch-degrading enzyme (amylase) in the hyphae of the koji mold.
, protein-degrading enzymes (proteases), lipolytic enzymes (lipases), and cellulose-degrading enzymes that make up plant cell membranes, and these are essential for the digestion of food. Furthermore, since cellulolytic enzymes act to degrade plant cell membranes, it seems to promote the fusion of medicinal ingredients such as sweet tea vine and dokudami with enzymes in yeast.

Lactic acid bacteria also produce lactic acid components through fermentation,
It kills harmful bacteria in the intestines, promotes intestinal regulation, and prevents the production of toxins caused by putrefying bacteria in the intestines.
