Description

Preparation system and preparation method of bottled hydrogen-rich water beverage, bottled hydrogen-rich water beverage

The invention relates to the field of functional drinking water, in particular to a preparation system and a preparation method of a bottled hydrogen-rich water beverage with good safety and long-term preservation, and a bottled hydrogen-rich water beverage.

According to scientific research in the fields of biology, medicine, and life sciences, a common conclusion is that human health and longevity are related to the free radicals generated during life. Simply put, the free radicals produced in the metabolism of human life are a very active and unstable substance in the human body. It reacts with cells, causing abnormal or death of cells, and causing various chronic diseases and aging. There are four main causes of free radical damage to cells: 1. lipid peroxidation, reducing detoxification; 2. DNA damage to cells, causing cell mutation; 3. destroying metabolic enzymes in the body, interfering with ion balance; and 4. causing inflammation Reacts to reduce immune function. According to many medical research reports, free radicals are closely related to aging, arteriosclerosis, stroke, heart disease, cataract, emphysema, diabetes, elderly dementia, and cancer.

In order to reduce the damage of free radicals, you can generally start from two aspects: one is to reduce the generation of free radicals, for example, to maintain good living habits and avoid being contaminated. The environment is dyed, the diet is controlled, and the emotions are achieved. The other is to find ways to eliminate or reduce the effects of free radicals that have already been formed. For example, you can reduce the production of free radicals by taking in antioxidants in food. However, in the latter case, most of the antioxidants (such as vitamins) do not easily penetrate the cell membrane, and can only specifically eliminate malignant active oxygen, not to mention that a large number of vitamins are not easily absorbed and stored by the body.

Based on the results of a study published in 2007 by Japanese scientists that "intake of hydrogen in the human body has significant antioxidant effects (ie, scavenging free radicals)" has sparked a research boom in hydrogen-rich water. Hydrogen-rich water (also known as Hydrogen Water) is not only healthy water, but also the most ideal and safest antioxidant at present; because hydrogen-rich water easily enters cells and participates in the metabolism of substances between cells, thus Promote cell detoxification and increase cell hydration to enhance the body's immunity, and have good preventive and therapeutic effects on various diseases caused by oxygen free radicals; and, in addition to drinking water, hydrogen-rich water can also be used as It is used as a moisturizing lotion and is especially effective for skin beauty and fading.

However, as a health-care drinking water, it is necessary to achieve stable and effective quality indicators for industrial production and commercial operation; that is, hydrogen-rich water itself as a commodity must address the hygiene requirements of beverages, specific hydrogen content Several major problems, such as indicator requirements, preservation or transportation requirements, and whether technical characteristics of mass production can be stabilized. Generally, the commercially available beverages have already solved the above problems due to the maturity of the technology, but since the hydrogen gas is very easy to escape, the conventional hydrogen-rich water beverage technology cannot fully meet the above requirements. The existing technology is to effectively reduce the rate of hydrogen dissipation through a reliable packaging container, such as a metal container or a glass container. However, in the process of sealing the tank, oxygen is sealed together to accelerate the escape of hydrogen, and it has not been stored for about 2 months. The hydrogen content, although strictly controlled by temperature or full bottle filling, reduces the amount of hydrogen dissipated, but the finished product cannot withstand an effective high temperature sterilization procedure. Therefore, there are still some shortcomings in the current hydrogen water beverage technology.

The invention is based on the consideration of high safety and long-term preservation, and the main purpose is The invention provides a preparation system and a preparation method for a bottled hydrogen-rich water beverage and a bottled hydrogen-rich water beverage, wherein the bottled hydrogen-rich water beverage can maintain a relatively high hydrogen content in water and meet the storage and transportation requirements of the hydrogen water product.

The preparation method of the bottled hydrogen-rich water beverage provided by the embodiment of the invention comprises the following steps: firstly, providing a hydrogen-rich water beverage; then, mixing nitrogen gas into the hydrogen-rich water beverage to form a nitrogen-rich hydrogen-rich water beverage; Then, the nitrogen-containing hydrogen-rich water beverage is filled into a bottle container, and when the nitrogen-rich hydrogen-rich water beverage is filled, a part of hydrogen and nitrogen are simultaneously released from the liquid surface to completely complete the air. The bottling container is rushed out; finally, the bottling container is quickly sealed so that hydrogen and nitrogen are stored in a gas containing space not occupied by the hydrogen-rich water beverage in the bottling container.

The present invention has at least the following advantageous effects: First, the method of the present invention utilizes "hydrogen and drinking water are contacted under a specific pressure (the pressure of hydrogen introduced into the water storage tank 3 is maintained at about 1 bar or higher) to form hydrogen-rich hydrogen. Water beverages, combined with the technical means of mixing nitrogen into a hydrogen-rich water beverage and having a pressure greater than the pressure of the nitrogen gas, can provide drinking water and The good contact between the hydrogen gas can dissolve a large amount of hydrogen in the drinking water, and the formed hydrogen-rich water beverage has high reducing property (the redox potential can reach -600~-700 mV).
