The present invention relates to a ginseng concentrate; Soluble polysaccharides including maltodextrin and indigestible maltodextrin; And a thickening agent.

The ginseng may be any one or more selected from the group consisting of red ginseng, white ginseng, black ginseng, wild ginseng, camellia ginseng and goat ginseng. White ginseng refers to fresh ginseng, that is, raw ginseng that maintains a circular shape. Red ginseng is steamed and boiled, and is dried. The ginseng is browned in drying process and has a pale yellowish brown to reddish brown color. Black ginseng refers to ginseng which has been blackened by drying red gins more times. Wild ginseng refers to wild ginseng, and wild ginseng refers to wild ginseng cultivated. Ginseng is a ginseng planted by planting seeds and seedlings in a mountainous forest.

The ginseng may be a ginseng concentrate having a solid content of 60 wt% or more. Particularly, it is preferable that the solid content is 60 wt% to 90 wt%. When the standard of red ginseng concentrate for health functional foods is more than 60% of solid content and the solid content is more than 90%, flowability is not good, which may cause inconvenience of the manufacturing process and loss of concentrate.

Although the ginseng concentrate is obtained by a general method of preparation and is not particularly limited, it may be prepared by mixing extractive solvent such as water and alcohol in red ginseng root and then repeating 3-5 times repeatedly at 65-75 ° C for 9-11 hours Filtration of the extract, transferring the solution to a vacuum concentrator, and concentrating it to a solid content of 60% or more at a temperature of 500-700 mmHg and a temperature of 65-75 ° C.

The water-soluble polysaccharide is a water-soluble polysaccharide, and includes maltodextrin and indigestible maltodextrin.

Maltodextrin is a carbohydrate produced by incomplete hydrolysis of starch, and is a dextrin just before it is hydrolyzed with maltose, a disaccharide, or glucose, which is a monosaccharide. Ondable maltodextrin is obtained by corn starch as a raw material of health functional food. It is difficult to digest and is difficult for human to digest, has low viscosity, has 1/10 of sweetness of sugar, has high transparency and solubility .

The maltodextrin average molecular weight may be from 100 to 2,000, for example from about 100 to 1,500. The average molecular weight of the indigestible maltodextrin may be from 100 to 10,000, for example from about 1,000 to 5,000, and preferably from about 1,500 to 2,500. Molecular structural formulas of maltodextrin and indigestible maltodextrin are shown below.

Examples of the thickening agent include, but are not limited to, Agar, Alginates, Carrageenan, Furcellaran derived from marine plants, Guar gum derived from terrestrial plants, Gum Arabic, Gum tracanth, Karaya gum, Pectin, Dextran from microbial polysaccharides, Gellan gum, Rhamsan gum, Wangan gum, Xanthan gum, Microfibrous cellulose, Carboxy methyl cellulose (MCC) derived from polysaccharides, Methyl cellulose, HPMC (Hydroxy Propyl Methyl Cellulose), Propylene glycol alginate (Propylene glycol alginate), hydroxypropyl guar, and modified starches.

Examples of the thickening agent include Dextran, Gellan gum, Rhamsan gum, Welan gum, Xanthan gum and Microfibrous cellulose derived from microbial polysaccharides. ), And may be at least one selected from the group consisting of xanthan gum. It is used as stabilizer, thickening agent, binder, emulsifier, high-settling agent, foaming agent and the like, which is representative of an additive for increasing the tackiness and viscosity of black food, enhancing emulsion stability and improving the physical properties and touch of the material. Especially, it is dispersed in cold water and dissolves in hot water. There is little difference in viscosity depending on the temperature to be dissolved. In the case of other natural thickener, viscosity decreases when acidic or alkaline substances coexist, Even if it is within the range of.

The ginseng composition containing the ginseng concentrate according to the present invention preferably has a viscosity of 450 to 550 cps. This is because when the viscosity is within the range of 450 to 550 cps, it can be easily dissolved in a solvent without applying physical force.

In the present invention, the viscosity is achieved by controlling the proportion of the components contained in the ginseng composition. In the ginseng composition according to the present invention, the water-soluble polysaccharide and the thickening agent are preferably contained in a weight ratio of 3: 7 to 7: 3. It is necessary to prevent any of the water-soluble polysaccharide and the thickener from being included in order to achieve the viscosity of the composition described above. If the amount of the water-soluble polysaccharide is larger than the above range, the viscosity becomes too low. If the water-soluble polysaccharide is contained in the range below this range, the viscosity becomes too high and the dissolution does not occur.

The composition according to the present invention may comprise 0.1 to 80 parts by weight of the ginseng concentrate, 0.01 to 80 parts by weight of the water-soluble polysaccharide and 0.01 to 10 parts by weight of the increasing agent based on the total amount of the whole composition. When the ginseng concentrate is contained in the above range, the effect of the ginseng is sufficiently exhibited to be economical. When the water-soluble polysaccharide and the thickener are contained in the above-mentioned range, the viscosity of the composition is appropriate and thus the solubility is excellent.

The water-soluble polysaccharide may be 0.01 to 80 parts by weight of maltodextrin and 1 to 80 parts by weight of indigestible maltodextrin based on the total amount of the water-soluble polysaccharide. When the maltodextrin and the indigestible maltodextrin are contained in the above-mentioned weight range, the solubility and the viscosity of the water-soluble polysaccharide become appropriate.

The ginseng composition may be low temperature, room temperature and high temperature solvent soluble.

In the present invention, room temperature means 20 to 30 캜, more preferably 23 to 27 캜. In the present invention, the low temperature means a temperature lower than the room temperature, and the high temperature means a temperature higher than the room temperature. The solvent is not particularly limited and means water, alcohol, or the like. That is, the composition according to the present invention is excellent in solubility not only at a high temperature but also at a room temperature and a low temperature, and has a solvent availability.
