Description

Food composition for bowel movement promotion and diet containing pumpkin, thistle, sweet pumpkin, onion, tomato, pork potato, beet and ginger {Composition for bowel movement promotion or diet}

The present invention relates to a food composition for inducing defecation and diet, which can be used as a meal replacement by giving a feeling of satiety, as well as reduce excessive food intake and induce defecation.

Recently, due to the westernization and instantization of dietary life, the intake of calories has increased, while the intake of fiber has decreased and the amount of exercise has decreased.

Among them, obesity represents a chronic physical condition that occurs when the body's energy intake exceeds the amount consumed and eventually leads to overweight. However, at present, obesity is recognized as a medical disease that can accompany serious diseases if left untreated.

The cause of obesity has not been clearly identified, but abnormalities in the body's weight control function, genetic predisposition to obesity, age, social and environmental influences, excessive fat intake, and low physical activity due to affluent industrial society are considered causes of obesity. are being nominated

Obesity is the second leading cause of non-disease mortality after smoking. Obesity is a direct cause of metabolic syndrome and other fatal diseases such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure. In fact, obese people have a 28% higher mortality rate than normal people, and are 56 times more likely to develop hypertension, 21 times more hyperlipidemia, and 29 times more diabetes than the general population.

According to the data of the Medical Insurance Association, the number of cases of diabetes, hypertensive disease, and ischemic heart disease in Korea has increased from 15 times to 20 times compared to the past 1986, raising obesity as a national problem. According to the announcement of the Ministry of Health and Welfare, the socio-economic cost of obesity in Korea also increased from 1.17 trillion won in 1998 to 1.8 trillion won in 2005. As the obesity problem becomes more serious, the perception that obesity itself is a disease is expanding, and there is a strong argument that the state should actively step forward to solve obesity.

Regardless of age, the basic principles of obesity treatment include diet therapy, exercise therapy, behavioral control therapy, and drug therapy.

Currently, only the anti-obesity drugs recognized in Korea are sibutramine, an appetite suppressant, and orlistat, a fat absorption inhibitor. can be distinguished.

However, since these anti-obesity drugs are aimed at suppressing appetite, it is known that consumers who consume most of the anti-obesity drugs often suffer from constipation due to insufficient intake of nutrients that can activate bowel movements.

In general, after a person eats food, when the nutrients in the food are moved to the place where they are needed by the internal organs of the human body, the leftovers of the food without nutrients are usually excreted in the form of feces outside the human body after 12 to 72 hours. to be. However, there are cases where the feces are not discharged to the outside of the human body for some reason and remain in the colon for a long time, which is called constipation.

When constipation occurs, while the water absorbed by the large intestine is returned to the blood, the function of the large intestine deteriorates and excessive water is removed. symptoms appear. For example, some people complain of chronic headaches, which is caused by poisonous gas generated in the intestines entering the brain through the blood and disturbing brain function, as well as compressing various organs and impairing blood flow, causing congestion and inflammation. Absorption of oxygen and nutrients in the body is not done, causing various diseases.

In this way, the harmful gas produced in the large intestine is detoxified in the liver, but if the liver is not healthy or the harmful gas is excessively generated, the undetoxified harmful gas deteriorates the function of the whole body and prevents the metabolism from working properly, resulting in ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. It is exposed to various diseases such as disease, dermatomyositis, and kidney disease.

In addition, it has been reported that when beneficial bacteria in the intestine are not activated, serotonin synthesis and metabolism are not made, so the stress index rises and mental disorders such as depression and anger control disorder occur.

Therefore, conventionally, when constipation occurs, treatment is taken for treatment, but such treatment is not a preventive activity, and there is a problem in that it is used only after an abnormality occurs in the large intestine. Although being developed, these lactic acid bacteria do not settle well in the intestinal beneficial flora, so there is a problem that the constipation treatment efficacy and furthermore, the obesity improvement effect is not very high.

Republic of Korea Patent No. 10-1911205 Republic of Korea Patent No. 10-1738912

An object of the present invention is to provide a food composition for inducing defecation and diet, which can be used as a meal replacement by giving a feeling of satiety, as well as reducing excessive food intake and inducing defecation.

The food composition for inducing defecation and diet of the present invention for achieving the above object may include pumpkin, thistle, sweet pumpkin, onion, tomato, pork potato, beetroot and ginger.

The composition comprises 1 to 20 parts by weight of thistle, 90 to 120 parts by weight of sweet pumpkin, 20 to 50 parts by weight of onion, 30 to 60 parts by weight of tomato, 20 to 50 parts by weight of pork potato, 5 to 30 parts by weight of beets, based on 100 parts by weight of pumpkin It may be an extract extracted at 80 to 100 ° C. by mixing with 1 to 20 parts by weight of part and ginger.

The thistle may be a mixture of flowers, stems and leaves of thistles, and roots mixed in a weight ratio of 1: 14-25: 0.1-0.9.

The food composition for defecation induction and diet of the present invention expands when ingested with water to give a feeling of fullness, so it can be used as a meal replacement and reduce the intake of excessive food. In addition, complete metabolism of nutrients from ingested food is possible to prevent the occurrence of intestinal toxins and diseases caused by intestinal toxins, as well as supplying nutrients necessary for the human body such as vitamins and trace elements with low calorie. effective for diet

In addition, when defecation is induced, the defecation speed is fast and the fiber is rich, so the stool floats on water, and when post-defecation is processed, the stool does not stick to the toilet paper, there is no residual stool, and finally golden-colored stool can be seen within 1 month.

The present invention relates to a food composition for inducing defecation and diet, which can be used as a meal replacement by giving a feeling of satiety, as well as reduce excessive food intake and induce defecation.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.

The food composition for defecation induction and diet of the present invention includes pumpkin, thistle, sweet pumpkin, onion, tomato, pork potato, beet and ginger. In addition, stevia may be added in addition to the above ingredients.

pumpkin

The pumpkin has a large fruit and a yellow skin when ripe, is effective in preventing cancer, and has a lot of protein and dietary fiber, so it is good for diabetes or diet. The pumpkin itself has a diet effect, but when used with thistle, tomato and pork potato, the bowel movement is more effective in inducing and dieting than when only pumpkin is used.

thistle

The thistle used in the present invention may be white-patterned thistle (Silybum marianum (L.) Gaertn.), prickly thistle (Cirsium japonicum Fisch ex DC. var. spinossimum Kitam.) or a mixture thereof, preferably white-patterned thistle. It is to use thistle alone.

The white-patterned thistle (Silybum marianum (L.) Gaertn.) is a plant of deep, shiny green with milky white leaf veins, and is a thin and long plant divided into root-leaves with wavy patterns and thorns at the edges. It is mainly found in embankment fences and abandoned land. The useful parts of the plant are the whole herb, root, leaves, seeds, and hull. Milk thistle seeds contain a flavonoid compound known as silymarin. Thistle seed extract contains 70-80% silymarin.

The thistle according to the present invention is a mixed extract of a mixture of flowers, stems and leaves, and roots of thistle.

The flower of thistle has a purple or red corolla and has a length of 19-24 mm, and it is preferable to use only those having a length of 10 to 15 mm and not using those longer than that.

In addition, the stems and leaves of thistles are mixed in a weight ratio of 1:1-4, preferably 1:2-3. If the content of the leaf relative to the stem is less than the lower limit, the bitter taste may be strong, and if it exceeds the upper limit, it is not effective for inducing bowel movement and diet.

In addition, since the thistle root is harvested once every three years, unlike flowers, stems and leaves that are harvested twice a year, it is preferable to use it after drying.

The mixture of flowers, stems and leaves, and roots of thistle are mixed in a weight ratio of 1:14-25:0.1-0.9, preferably 1:16-19:0.4-0.8. If the content of the mixture of stems, leaves, and roots on a flower basis is less than the lower limit above, the effect on induction of bowel movements and diet may not be excellent, and if it exceeds the upper limit above, the bitter taste is strong and the effect on induction of bowel movements and diet may be lowered.

The mixed extract of the present invention is a water bath extract extracted at 80 to 100° C. for 20 to 30 hours, preferably 24 to 28 hours. If the extraction temperature and time are less than the lower limit, the active ingredient may not be extracted, and if it exceeds the upper limit, the burnt taste may be strong and the nutrients may be destroyed. In addition, when extraction is performed by other methods such as organic solvent extraction in addition to water bath extraction, the effect on defecation induction and diet is insignificant and a bitter taste may be strongly generated.

Specifically, the mixed extract is extracted by mixing a mixture of flowers, stems and leaves with hot water, and separately extracting the roots with hot water and then mixing them. Unlike the present invention, when all of the flowers, mixtures of stems and leaves, and roots are mixed and extracted in hot water, the bitter taste is strong and the effect on inducing bowel movements and dieting may be reduced.

The method for preparing this mixed extract of thistle includes (a) mixing a mixture of flowers, stems and leaves of thistle and extracting in hot water at 80 to 100 ° C. to obtain an extract; (b) obtaining an extract by extracting the roots of thistle in hot water at 80 to 100 ° C; and (c) lyophilizing the extracts obtained in steps (a) and (b), respectively, to pulverize and mix them. In addition, after step (c), (d) drying and pulverizing the residue remaining after extraction in step (b); and (e) mixing 100 parts by weight of the powder mixed in step (c) with 0.1 to 3 parts by weight of the powder in step (d).

Unlike the above steps (a) and (b), when all of the flowers, the mixture of stems and leaves, and the roots are mixed and extracted in hot water, the bitter taste is strong and the effect on inducing bowel movements and dieting may be reduced; The yield may be lowered when the flowers, the mixture of stems and leaves, and the roots are all separately extracted in hot water.

In the case of adding the root residue powder prepared in step (d), the effect on induction of bowel movement and diet can be significantly improved compared to the case where the root residue powder is not added.

This thistle (thistle extract) is 1 to 20 parts by weight, preferably 5 to 10 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of pumpkin. If the content of milk thistle is less than the lower limit, the effect on induction of defecation and diet may not be improved, and when the content of thistle is greater than the upper limit, the effect on induction of defecation and diet may be rather reduced.

Sweet pumpkin

The sweet pumpkin is a variety of Western pumpkin and has a high sugar content and tastes like chestnut. Rich in vitamin A and beta-carotene, it suppresses aging and prevents adult diseases. When the sweet pumpkin is used together with thistle, pumpkin and ginger, it is more effective for defecation induction effect and diet than when only sweet pumpkin is used.

The content of sweet pumpkin is 90 to 120 parts by weight, preferably 100 to 110 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of pumpkin. If the content of sweet pumpkin is less than the lower limit, the sensory properties may be lowered and the effect on bowel induction and diet may not be improved, and if it exceeds the upper limit, it may be too sweet and the consumer's preference may decrease.

onion

The onion contains 'allicin', which is a spicy taste ingredient, and has a spicy and sweet taste, and has an antioxidant effect and an effect of lowering blood cholesterol levels. The onion is used together with tomatoes and beets to be more effective in diet.

In the present invention, only the kernels are used after removing the outer skin of the onion, and when using the outer skin, it is not preferable because the functionality is lowered.

The content of onion is 20 to 50 parts by weight, preferably 30 to 40 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of pumpkin. If the content of onion is less than the lower limit, the effect on defecation induction and diet may not be improved, and if it exceeds the upper limit, the effect on diet may be reduced.

tomato

The tomato is a source of vitamins and minerals, contains antioxidants, prevents stroke, cancer and myocardial infarction and lowers blood sugar. The tomato is more effective in inducing bowel movements and diet when used with thistle, onion and ginger.

The content of tomato is 30 to 60 parts by weight, preferably 40 to 50 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of pumpkin. If the content of tomato is less than the lower limit, the effect on bowel induction and diet may not be improved, and if it exceeds the upper limit, it may be difficult to manufacture granules or pills.

pork potato

The pig potato (Helianthus tuberosus) is a naturalized plant estimated to have been introduced to Korea after the 17th century from Europe through China, and grows wild in fields or mountains. If you dig under the dry stem, you can find the tuber of pork potato, and the flowers that bloom in autumn are very attractive. The pork potato is used with thistle, pumpkin and beet to be more effective in diet.

The content of pork potato is 20 to 50 parts by weight, preferably 30 to 40 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of pumpkin. If the content of pork potato is less than the lower limit, the diet effect may be significantly reduced, and if it exceeds the upper limit, the sensory properties may be lowered and the diet effect may be lower than when each substance is used alone.

beat

The beet has a crunchy texture and rich nutrients, and is used in various dishes including salads due to its unique red color. The red pigment of beets is a component called betaine, which inhibits cell damage and acts as an antioxidant to prevent cancer and relieve inflammation. The beet is used together with thistle and ginger to be more effective in inducing bowel movements.

The content of beets is 5 to 30 parts by weight, preferably 10 to 20 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of pumpkin. If the content of the beet is less than the lower limit, the defecation inducing effect may be reduced, and if it exceeds the upper limit, the functionality may be reduced and the defecation inducing effect may not be improved.

ginger

The ginger is native to Southeast Asia and is grown as a vegetable. In oriental medicine, dried rhizomes are used as medicinal materials. Ginger treats chills caused by colds, fever, headaches, vomiting, seawater, and phlegm, and is also effective for stomach pain and diarrhea caused by food poisoning. . As pharmacological action, it has been reported that it promotes secretion of gastric juice, enhances digestive power, stimulates the heart, promotes blood circulation, and inhibits bacteria.

When such ginger is used together with thistle, pumpkin, and pork potato, more excellent efficacy in inducing bowel movements and diet occurs compared to the case of using each of the above substances.

The ginger is mixed in 1 to 20 parts by weight, preferably 1 to 5 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of pumpkin. If the content of ginger is less than the lower limit, it may not be effective in inducing bowel movements and diet, and if it exceeds the upper limit, the sensory function may be reduced and there may be toxicity.

Stevia

The stevia ( Stevia rebaudiana ) grows near rivers or wetlands, and has been using stevia leaves as a sweetener since ancient times. Leaves contain stevioside, a sweetener, at 6-7% of the weight, and the content varies greatly depending on the individual. Its sweetness component is 300 times that of sugar, and it is used to make tea or substitute for gum and as a sweetener in soft drinks.

In the present invention, the use of stevia not only increases the functionality, but also has an effect on inducing defecation when used together with milk thistle.

The stevia is mixed in 0.1 to 5 parts by weight, preferably 1 to 2 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of pumpkin.

If the content of stevia is less than the lower limit, the bowel induction effect may not be improved, and if it exceeds the upper limit, the functionality may be reduced.

The mixed extract of pumpkin, thistle, sweet pumpkin, onion, tomato, pork potato, beet, ginger and stevia of the present invention is a mixture and an extraction solvent in a weight ratio of 1: 1 to 100, preferably 1: 5 to 20 An extract is prepared by mixing in a weight ratio and extracting at 80 to 100 ° C. for 40 to 50 hours. When the weight ratio of the mixture and the extraction solvent is out of the above range, a small amount of the active ingredient of the mixture may be extracted into the extract.

The extraction solvent for extracting the extract is water, lower alcohol having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, or a mixed solvent thereof. The extraction solvent is not particularly limited, but extracts extracted with water show excellent effects.

The composition of the present invention may be prepared in the form of gel, puree, juice, pill, substitute pill and granule.

For example, when prepared in the form of a gel and puree, a mixed extract of pumpkin, thistle, sweet pumpkin, onion, tomato, pork potato, beet, ginger and stevia is mixed with a concentrator in a volume ratio of 1/3 to 1/3 of the mixture. After concentrating to a volume of 5, the concentrate and agar are added and stirred, and then sterilized to prepare a gel and puree.

As another example, when prepared in the form of a juice, a mixed extract of pumpkin, thistle, sweet pumpkin, onion, tomato, pork potato, beet, ginger and stevia is sterilized at 95 to 110 ° C. for 5 to 10 minutes and used.

As another example, when prepared in the form of pills, pills, and granules, a mixed extract of pumpkin, thistle, sweet pumpkin, onion, tomato, pork potato, beet, ginger, and stevia is mixed with a concentrator to 1/5 the volume of the extract After concentrating to a volume of 1/7 to 1/7, the concentrate is aged in a water bath at 60 to 70° C. for 40 to 50 hours, then dried and molded to produce pills, substitute pills, and granules. The prepared pills, large pills and granules are put into a dryer, completely dried, and then roasted.
