TW201808114A - Combined fermented cactus fruits and pitahayas (dragon fruits) drink having antioxidant effect - Google Patents

Abstract

A combined fermented cactus fruits and pitahayas (dragon fruits) juice is produced by extracting the juice from the cactus fruits and pitahayas including peel thereof, adding a suitable amount of water, placing probiotics in the juice, and leaving the juice to ferment at a controlled temperature. The anti-free-radical DPPH activity of the combined fermented cactus fruits and pitahayas juice increases significantly compared to that thereof prior to the fermentation.

Description

Anti-oxidant cactus fruit and red dragon fruit composite fermented drink

A fermented beverage, more specifically a cactus fruit and red dragon fruit composite fermented beverage with antioxidant function.

Cactus is native to southern Mexico, the Pacific and Central American countries. It is distributed or cultivated in tropical America, West Indies, South Florida and the tropics. Its berries are obovate oval and have a purplish red appearance when cooked. red.

Cactus fruit has 7 times higher antioxidant capacity than vitamin C, and contains high amounts of vitamin A, B1, B12, D3 and riboflavin, which can promote skin cell regeneration and enhance skin softness.

Generally, the edible cactus fruit will first use scissors to cut off the spikes of the cactus fruit skin, and then remove the hard cloves from the cactus fruit, and only take the fresh red flesh to eat, and the process from peeling to eating is complicated.

Red dragon fruit is native to the tropical regions of Central America. Red dragon fruit is rich in nutrients and unique in function. It contains plant albumin and betain, which are rare in common plants, rich in vitamins and water-soluble dietary fiber.

The active albumin contained in the red dragon fruit encounters heavy metal ions in the human body, and will quickly wrap it to avoid intestinal absorption, through the defecation system. Excreted from the body, and albumin also has a protective effect on the stomach wall.

In addition, the peel of the red dragon fruit contains betain, which is a powerful anti-oxidant and immune-enhancing substance, has an antioxidant capacity 10 times higher than that of carotene, and can be transported to the whole body through the blood to achieve antioxidant activity. Anti-free radical DPPH, anti-aging, inhibiting the role of Alzheimer's disease.

Red dragon fruit is a kind of cold fruit. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the body is relatively cold, it is not suitable for eating too many red dragon fruit, otherwise it is easy to cause diarrhea; while Western medicine thinks that pectin in red dragon fruit can promote gastrointestinal motility Excessive consumption can cause diarrhea, and all of these factors will cause restrictions on the consumption and intake of red dragon fruit.

In view of this, I have been engaged in research and development in related fields for many years, and have conducted in-depth discussions on the above-mentioned shortcomings, and actively sought solutions according to the above-mentioned needs. After a long period of hard work and multiple tests, the present invention has finally been completed.

The main object of the present invention is to enhance the anti-radical DPPH activity contained in cactus fruit and red dragon fruit.

The secondary object of the present invention is to overcome the inconvenience of cactus fruit and red dragon fruit in eating and the side effects of excessive consumption on the human body.

For the purpose of the above, the cactus fruit and red dragon fruit composite fermented beverage with anti-oxidation function is the juice of the whole cactus fruit and the red dragon fruit with the belt meat, first mixed with the appropriate amount of water and then implanted. Probiotic fermentation And controlling the fermentation temperature and continuously stirring for several days, the cactus fruit and red dragon fruit composite fermented beverage with antioxidant function of the invention can be completed.

The fermented cactus fruit and red dragon fruit composite fermented beverage of the present invention having an antioxidant function can increase the anti-free radical DPPH activity by about twice as compared with that before fermentation.

The cactus fruit and red dragon fruit composite fermented beverage with anti-oxidation function is characterized in that the anti-free radical DPPH activity is obviously increased after being fermented by the probiotic bacteria.

A more detailed understanding of the objects, functions, features and structures of the present invention will be apparent.

Please refer to FIG. 1 , which is a flow chart of the present invention.

The cactus fruit and the red dragon fruit composite fermented beverage with anti-oxidation function of the invention are prepared through the following steps;

Step (1): Juice extraction step 1; respectively, the cactus fruit and the red dragon fruit together with the peel are put into the machine for juice extraction, and the obtained cactus fruit and red dragon juice liquid are mixed with water, wherein the cactus fruit: red dragon fruit: The ratio of water is 0.05~0.1:1~5:1~5.

Step (2): Phytophthora step 2; after mixing the cactus fruit, the red dragon fruit and the water, the probiotic bacteria are prepared for fermentation, and the probiotic bacteria are composed of the yeast Saccharomyces boulardii and the lactic acid bacteria Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium longum. Saccharomyces boulardii: Lactobacillus acidophilus: Bifidobacterium longum strains used in the proportion of 1~5:1~3:1~3.

Step (3): Fermentation step 3; the mixed juice of the cactus fruit, the red dragon fruit and the water implanted with the probiotic bacteria is put into the fermentation tank for fermentation, and the fermentation temperature is controlled at 26 ° C to 35 ° C and the stirring is continued for 3 to 10 In the day, the cactus fruit and the red dragon fruit composite fermented beverage with antioxidant function of the invention can be obtained.

Please refer to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 for continued; FIG. 2 is a test data diagram (1) of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a test data diagram (2) of the present invention.

Further, the cactus fruit and the red dragon fruit composite fermented beverage (hereinafter referred to as "fermentation") of the present invention and the non-fermented cactus fruit, the mixed juice of red dragon fruit and water (hereinafter referred to as pre-fermentation) are fixed daily. Time to detect the difference in anti-radical DPPH activity can give the following results.

It can be seen from Fig. 2 that there is no significant difference in anti-free radical DPPH activity measured before and after fermentation on the first day after phytobacteria.

On the second day after phytobacteria, the anti-free radical DPPH activity contained after fermentation was slightly increased compared to the anti-radical DPPH activity before fermentation.

On the third, fourth, fifth and sixth days after planting, The anti-free radical DPPH activity after fermentation has a very significant increase in these four days, and there is a significant difference compared with the anti-free radical DPPH activity before fermentation.

On the seventh and eighth days after phytophage, the anti-free radical DPPH activity contained in the fermentation had no obvious increasing trend on the seventh and eighth days, and compared with the pre-fermentation, anti-free radicals after fermentation. DPPH activity has increased dramatically.

It can be seen from Fig. 3 that the present invention can improve the comparison of the anti-oxidation cactus fruit and the red dragon fruit composite fermented beverage with the fermented cactus fruit, the red dragon fruit and the water mixed juice after the completion of the fermentation. Double the anti-radical DPPH activity.

It can be seen from the above that the anti-oxidation function of the cactus fruit and the red dragon fruit composite fermented beverage of the present invention after fermentation using the yeast Saccharomyces boulardii and the lactic acid bacteria Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium longum has a very significant increase in the anti-free radical DPPH activity. .

Therefore, the present invention has excellent advancement and practicability in similar products, and after consulting domestic and foreign technical documents on such structures, it is true that no identical or similar structure exists before the application of the case, so the case It should meet the patent requirements of "creative", "combined with industrial use" and "progressive", and apply in accordance with the law.

It is to be understood that the foregoing description of the preferred embodiments of the invention is intended to be
