Description

Method for producing functional sugar containing herbal medicine concentrate and functional sugar prepared by the above method {Method for producing functional sugar comprising herb medicine concentrate and functional sugar produced by the same}

The present invention relates to a method for producing a functional sugar containing a large amount of the active ingredient of the herbal medicine while having a unique taste and color of the herbal medicine. More specifically, the herbal medicine is extracted and concentrated and passed through an adsorbent, and then prepared as a nanoparticle to produce sugar. It relates to a method for producing a functional sugar which is highly concentrated and readily absorbed in sugar, and a functional sugar prepared by the method, characterized in that the active ingredient of the herbal medicine comprising the step of mixing in.

Sugar is a carbohydrate that combines glucose and fructose as an energy source of the human body, and is quickly absorbed into the body. The sugar type contains the finest pure white sugar of the most used small particles, and the unique taste to enhance the flavor, and contains the white sugar and minerals used for confectionery and bakery cooking. It is made of brown sugar, square shape, cubes used for coffee, tea, etc., light brown coffee specially for coffee with caramel flavor, and ice shape used for powdered sugar powder, fruit powder, gum, confectionery, etc. Ice sugar.

Sugar is produced by importing raw sugar made from sugar cane, washing the raw sugar, removing (purifying) non-sugar components, and filtering. After that, the crystallization step of the powder particles is white sugar. If the purification process of the first produced white sugar is continued, the color of the sugar is changed to brown by heat to produce yellow sugar, brown sugar and the like.

Herbal medicine has been used for food and medicine for a long time in Korea, Japan and China. In the countries using these herbal medicines, empirical knowledge of the various efficacy and safety of herbal medicines is well known and used in many herbal and folk remedies.

Recently, as interest in functional foods increases, there is a demand for the development of various types of functional foods that can satisfy various needs of consumers and are easily accessible. Therefore, the necessity of a functional sugar capable of providing a functional and nutritional effect by adding a functional substance and nutritional components lacking in sugar in addition to the sweetness function originally possessed by the sugar is continuously increasing.

Korean Patent Publication No. 2006-0026616 discloses a high-clean functional alkali mineral sugar and a method and apparatus for manufacturing the same. Korean Patent Publication No. 2004-0064401 discloses a functional sugar, but contains the herbal concentrate of the present invention It is different from the manufacturing method of functional sugar.

The present invention is derived from the above requirements, the present invention has developed a technology that can absorb the active substance of the herbal medicine highly concentrated and efficiently in sugar, so that the active ingredient of the highly concentrated nano-sized herbal medicine is adsorbed to the sugar in a large amount The present invention has been completed by preparing a highly functional sugar.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention extracts and concentrates the herbal medicine and passes through the adsorbent and then prepared into the nanoparticles, comprising the step of mixing into the sugar active ingredient of the herbal medicine is highly concentrated and easy to sugar Provided are methods for preparing the functional sugar to be absorbed.

The present invention also provides a functional sugar prepared by the above method.

In addition, the present invention provides a functional sugar processed food comprising the sugar.

According to the present invention, the present invention can be highly concentrated by passing the active ingredient of the concentrated herbal medicine through the adsorbent, and by changing the properties of the herbal medicine concentrate to easily bind to sugar by the process of manufacturing the herbal medicine concentrate as nanoparticles, The active ingredient can be easily absorbed into sugar by the method of the present invention rather than the method of.

In addition, the high-functional sugar prepared according to the production method of the present invention has improved the content, taste, flavor and the like of the functional components than the existing functional sugar. Due to the improved functionality, taste, and flavor, it can help the health promotion and disease prevention and improvement, which are the original functions of herbal medicines, and can produce functional sugars of various natural colors, flavors, and flavors. It is expected to greatly improve national health and increase sugar consumption.

The styrene synthetic sorbent used in the present invention, diion HP-20 (Diaion HP-20) is a copolymer of styrene and DVB (divinyl benzene). synthetic adsorbent). Diaion HP-20 is excellent in adsorption capacity due to the large number of pores and high specific surface area. The relatively large pore size makes it suitable for the adsorption of large molecules (MW 1,500 or more) and facilitates the elution of adsorbents. In addition, since the surface of the particles is hydrophobic, the diion HP-20 is adsorbed to the hydrophobic group in the organic molecules when the organic material is adsorbed to the synthetic adsorbent. Therefore, the organic substance (for example, the alkyl group of fatty acid) with a large number of hydrophobic groups adsorb | sucks well. Elution of the adsorbed organics includes acid, alkali, polar solvent and the like. Diaion HP-20 is used for adsorption, separation and purification of various bioactive substances such as vitamins, antibiotics, steroids and enzymes.

In the method of the present invention, passing the herbal extract of step (c) through the adsorbent is because the active ingredient of the herbal extracts can be highly concentrated by adsorbing the active ingredients to the adsorbent to separate only the active ingredient. Subsequently, a process of eluting the highly concentrated active ingredient is required, which is performed by sequentially pouring water and 45-55% alcohol into the styrene-based synthetic adsorbent with the active ingredient concentrated, and then mixing all the liquids that have passed through the styrene-based synthetic adsorbent. It is.

In the method of the present invention, the preparation of the herbal medicine concentrate as nanoparticles through the nanofilter of step (d) is to facilitate the absorption or adsorption of the active ingredients of the herbal medicine in sugar.

In the method of the present invention, the drying of step (e) is preferably carried out using a far-infrared hot air dryer, but is not limited thereto. The use of far-infrared hot air dryer has the advantage of easy sterilization and drying.

The present invention also provides a functional sugar produced by the method of the present invention. Sugar prepared by the method of the present invention has a feature that, unlike other functional sugars, a highly concentrated nano-sized active ingredient is adsorbed to the sugar in a large amount.

Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the method of the present invention can be applied regardless of the type of sugar, and can be variously applied to crystalline seasonings such as salt in addition to sugar.

The present invention also provides a functional sugar processed food comprising the functional sugar. The functional sugar processed food may be, but not limited to, candy, syrup, jelly and jam.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail by way of examples. However, the following examples are merely to illustrate the invention, but the content of the present invention is not limited to the following examples.
