Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a method for producing honey containing natural medicinal materials and food ingredients, and honey produced by the method. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001]

The present invention relates to a method for producing honey, and more particularly, to a method for producing honey and a honey produced by the method, in which natural medicines and food ingredients can be directly contained in honey during the production of honey.

The natural honey, which can be obtained by beekeeping, consists mainly of water, fructose and glucose, and contains trace amounts of vitamins, minerals and enzymes. Honey has antibacterial, hematopoietic, hemostatic, longevity, detoxification, and is known to be effective for various diseases and chronic diseases.

Studies have been attempted to enhance the pharmacological effect and nutritional content of such honey by adding natural medicines and food ingredients.

As an example thereof, Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1216626 (Patent Document 1) discloses a method for preparing an eco-friendly ginseng honey by mixing ginseng extract and dense honey in a centrifugal separator.

As another example, according to Korean Patent No. 10-1527478 (Patent Document 2), honey is provided which is processed by providing honey bees' food extracts of various health foods and oriental medicines, and a process for producing the same have.

However, the method of simply adding other medicinal materials or food ingredients to the collected honey is merely to obtain a simple mixture of honey and food. Therefore, there is a limit to the effect and merchantability, and the nutritional ingredient extract is supplied as honey food and processed again The method could not guarantee that the various nutrients were delivered to the honey via bees.

Therefore, there is a need to develop a new honey production method which can improve the efficacy of honey and contain a high degree of commerciality by containing natural medicines and food ingredients sufficiently in honey.

Korean Patent No. 10-1216626 Korean Patent No. 10-1527478

It is an object of the present invention to provide a new honey producing method capable of containing natural medicinal materials and food ingredients in honey and honey produced by the method.

In particular, it is an object of the present invention to provide a honey production method capable of directly incorporating natural medicinal materials and food ingredients into honey during the production of honey, and a method for treating natural medicinal materials and food materials therefor.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a method for producing honey containing natural medicinal materials and food materials using a honeycomb capable of embedding honey packaging containers, comprising the steps of: (a) Removing impurities on the surface; (b) drying said washed natural medicinal material or food material; (c) aging the dried natural medicinal material or food material so that the honey is penetrated and adsorbed by immersing the dried natural medicinal material or food material in the honey produced in the past; (d) re-drying the aged natural medicinal material or food material; (e) partially coating wax on the surface of the re-dried natural medicinal material or food material; (f) inserting the beeswax-coated natural medicinal material or food material into the honey packing container; (g) embedding the honey packaging container in the beehive; (h) a bee builds a honeycomb in the honey packing container and stores honey; (i) obtaining honey containing natural medicinal materials or food materials in a state of being contained in the honey packaging container.

In the aging step (c), it is preferable that the natural medicinal material and the food material are aged so that the honey is penetrated and adsorbed to the lower part of the skin layer.

For the re-dried material in the re-drying step (d), the aging period can be determined by testing whether or not the bees are avoiding the aged natural medicines and food materials.

In the case of the natural medicinal material or the food material having a strong flavor, it is preferable to repeatedly carry out the aging step (c) and the re-drying step (d).

On the other hand, the above-mentioned steps (a) to (e) are separately treated for each of two or more kinds of natural medicinal materials or food materials, and in the step (f) By inserting the materials into a plurality of the honey packing containers, honey (s) containing different kinds of natural medicines or food materials can be obtained at one time in the step (i).

The natural medicinal materials may include ginseng, rosemary, bellflower, antler, cowpea, umbrella, musk, and the food material may include sea cucumbers, abalone, and spinspin.

By carrying out the above-described method for producing honey of the present invention, it is possible to produce honey containing natural medicines and food ingredients.

The honey production method of the present invention and the honey produced by this method are expected to have the following effects.

First, bees can directly add natural medicines and food ingredients to the honey in the process of producing honey, so that when the honey is collected, honey containing natural medicines and food ingredients can be obtained.

Second, since natural medicines and food ingredients together with honeycomb and honey can be obtained in the state of being contained in a honey packed container, it can be directly commercialized by covering the container with a lid, and the product quality is high.

Third, honey bees build a honeycomb on natural medicines and food ingredients and fill honey, so that they can obtain honey with various natural aging effects by the secretion of bees, along with the unique functional effects of natural medicines and food ingredients have.

Fourth, by inserting various kinds of natural medicines or food ingredients individually into honeycomb containers provided in one beehive, honeycomb products containing various kinds of natural medicines or food materials at one time can be obtained with one beehive .

1 is a perspective view schematically showing a part of a honeycomb having a honeycomb packaging container therein.
2 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing a honeycomb having a honeycomb packaging container therein.
3 is a flow chart showing step-by-step the production method of honey according to the embodiment of the present invention.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The honey production method of the present invention uses a honey packing container which can be used as a final product in order to contain natural medicines or food ingredients in honey. These honey packaging containers are installed in the beehive in advance, and honey bees build honeycomb in honey container and store honey. Honey packaging containers can use various types of containers that can contain honey, and a glass bottle with a lid is often used.

There are various types of beehives in which a honeycomb container is embedded and honey bees store the honey. An example thereof is shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.

As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, a plate material 30 having a plurality of openings 20 is provided on the upper part of the chargeable beehive 10, and the opening of the honeycomb packaging container 40 is inserted into the openings 20 Install it. At this time, if honeycomb is put in honey container (40), honeycomb is advantageous for building honeycomb.

When the honeycomb is filled in the honeycomb packaging container 40, the beverage container 40 is detached and the container 40 is covered with the honeycomb, You can distribute it right away.

Hereinafter, a method of producing honey containing natural medicinal materials or food ingredients using the above-described honeycomb packaging container will be described.

When natural beverages and food ingredients are pre-inserted into honey packed containers, honey bees build honeycombs on top of natural medicines and food ingredients and fill honey, resulting in a variety of natural aging effects and improved honeycomb merchandise. However, when simply putting natural medicines or food ingredients into honey packed containers, honeycombs are not formed well in honey packed containers because honey bees have a characteristic of avoiding the inherent fragrance of natural medicines and food ingredients.

Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, natural medicines and food ingredients are contained in honey according to the method described below, and this will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. For convenience of explanation, natural medicines and food ingredients are collectively referred to as "ingredients ".

< Step > The material is washed to remove impurities on the surface.

The material may be animal or vegetable materials. As the natural medicinal materials, various medicinal materials can be used. Typical examples of the medicinal materials include ginseng, rosemary, bellflower, antler, crab, trout, musk and the like. In addition, as a food material, various health functional foods can be used, and representative examples thereof include sea cucumbers, abalone, shark's fin, and the like.

<Step b> Dry the washed material.

Drying may be carried out using a hot air dryer for rapid drying, but drying by natural wind is more preferable. Since the drying state is related to the aging period described later, it is sufficient to determine the drying state with naked eyes. Further, the material may be dried in a semi-dry state without being completely dried.

<Step c> The dried material is immersed in the honey produced in the past and aged.

It is preferable that the immersion is such that the material is sufficiently immersed in the container containing the honey. At this time, the honey used may be any of the previously produced natural honeys, and it is preferable to use the honey produced by the bees of the same kind as that of the bees used in this embodiment to immerse the material.

The material is aged by keeping the immersed material in the immersed state for a certain period so that the honey is sufficiently penetrated and adsorbed on the immersed material. At this time, it is preferable that the honey be penetrated and adsorbed to the lower part of the skin layer of the material. If the honey does not penetrate to the lower part of the epidermal layer, there is a great possibility that the inherent fragrance of the material will emerge.

In order for the honey to penetrate and adsorb to the lower part of the skin of the material, sufficient aging time is required, and the aging time depends on the drying condition in the step (b) described above. Generally, when the moisture of the material is removed much, the aging period is short, and in the case of the semi-dry state in which water remains, the aging period is long. Whether or not the material has been sufficiently aged can be confirmed after the re-drying step (d) described below.

<d step> Re-dry the aged material.

The rebuilding process can be carried out in the same manner as the drying process of the step (b) described above.

At this time, the re-dried material can be inspected to determine the aging period in the step (c). That is, a part of the material is cut to visually confirm whether or not the honey penetrated to below the skin layer, and thereby, the aging period of the material can be determined.

Alternatively, the aging period of the material may be determined by directly testing whether the bees are avoided by the aged material. In other words, it can be confirmed whether the honey bees avoid the material by inserting the aged and re-dried material into the beehive for a certain period of time. The aging period of the material can be determined by repeating the aging period until the honeybees avoid the material.

 The optimum aging period according to the materials obtained by repeatedly performing the aging period determination methods described above is shown in the table below. Table 1 shows the aging period of ginseng, rosemary, bellflower, antler, oak, and sea cucumber / abalone in the same dry state.

material division Aging period Ginseng 1-3 years 3-5 days 4-6 years 5 to 10 days Doduk 3-5 years 3-5 days 5 to 10 years 6 to 15 days Bellflower 1 year old 3-5 days 2 years 6 to 9 days 3-5 years 6 to 15 days velvet 3-5 days Tapestry 3-5 days Sea cucumber / abalone 3-5 days

On the other hand, in the case of a material having a strong flavor such as urethane or musk, it is necessary to repeatedly perform the aging step (c) and the re-drying step (d). That is, as shown in Table 2 below, in the case of mugwort or musk, it is preferable to repeat the process of re-aging and re-aging the aged material a plurality of times.

Drying (re-drying) and aging step Drying (re-drying) period Aging period Primary 10 days (dry) 7 days Secondary    7 days (re-drying) 5 days Third    5 days (re-drying) 3 days Fourth    3 days (re-drying) 3 days 5th    3 days (re-drying) -

<Step e> Partially coat wax on the surface of the material.

The surface of the material is partially coated using a molten beeswax before the re-dried material is placed in the honey packing container.

Such a wax coating helps to induce honey to build a honeycomb in honey container. Excessive coating of beeswax may prevent the honey from being sufficiently infiltrated into the honey packed container in the future. Therefore, rather than a coating method such as immersion, it is preferable to coat the surface of the material partly with wax using a brush or the like. The coating area of the beeswax can be appropriately selected according to the characteristics of the material, and it is generally preferable that the coating area does not exceed 30% of the entire surface of the material.

<Step f> Insert the prepared material into the honey packing container.

When the material to be inserted into the honeycomb packaging container is prepared through the above-described steps (a) to (e), the prepared material is put into the honeycomb packaging container. The material may be inserted to support the inner wall of the container by pushing it, or it may be inserted to be fixed by hanging it on a wicker made of wax.

<g step> Place the honey packing container in the beehive.

Insert the honey packed container with the material inserted into the beehive with the mouth facing down. As described above, the honeycomb may use a honeycomb having an opening that can be installed by inserting a honeycomb packaging container, but is not limited thereto.

<hstep> The bee builds a honeycomb in a honeycomb container in a beehive and stores honey.

The honey bee regards the material inserted in the honey packing container as a soap, builds a honeycomb on the material, collects the honey and stores it. Collection and storage of honey is carried out in the same way as the general management of beekeeping.

<i step> When the honey packing container is filled with honey, the honey packing container is detached from the beehive to acquire honey containing the material.

When the honeybees have finished storing the honey, the honey packing container is filled with the above materials, honey and honeycomb. Since the material, honey, and honeycomb can be obtained in a honey packed container, the container can be covered with a lid and immediately commercialized.

Through the steps (a) to (i) described above, the honey according to the present invention can be produced.

On the other hand, various kinds of natural medicines and food materials may be used simultaneously in the honey pack container.

First, for each of two or more kinds of materials, the above-mentioned steps (a) to (e) are individually treated, and then the processed material is inserted into each of the honey packing containers, Honey can be obtained at once.

Thus, when honeycomb containers with different kinds of materials inserted therein are individually installed in a beehive, various kinds of finished honey products each containing various kinds of materials can be obtained in one beehive at one time.

While the present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments described above and the accompanying drawings, it is to be understood that the invention may be embodied in different forms without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. Accordingly, the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims, and is not to be construed as limited to the specific embodiments described herein.
