Description

Nutraceutical food mixture

Field of technology

The invention relates to a nutraceutical food composition which solves the problems associated with optimal daily human nutrition and intervenes in the field of therapeutic nutrition, where it acts as a so-called functional food, mainly due to its high content of vitamins, minerals, essential amino acids, polyphenols and pigments with antioxidant effects and fiber, which are essential for the healthy functioning of the human body.

Prior art

At present, the composition of the human diet still does not meet the requirements for nutrient intake and a healthy balanced diet in many respects. This is due, for example, to incorrect food selection, consumption of food in inappropriate doses, taste preference or lack of time to prepare foods that would retain the highest possible biological value. In addition, there is also the problem of the shelf life of the food while preserving its biological value without the addition of preservatives and other additives to the food. Obstacles to changing eating habits can be aspects of the price, the complexity of preparing such food, their possible poor availability, etc.

It is an undeniable fact that the composition of the diet significantly affects human health, not only in the short term, but especially in the long term. It is estimated that the composition of the diet affects human health by an average of 20 to 60%. A specific problem is products from the field of fast food production, fried foods, foods with a higher fat content with saturated fatty acids, desserts with a high sugar content, mayonnaise, meat with hidden internal fat, hardened edible fats with a higher content of trans-unsaturated fatty acids, etc. These foods are characterized by a significant glycemic index or cholesterol content, have a high energy value, contain low amounts of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants such as polyphenols, carotenoids, etc. biological pigments, phytonutrients, etc. Due to their nutritional composition, these unsuitable foods increase the risk of overweight (namely up to three times) and obesity (up to a third of the population is obese), diabetes, especially type 2 diabetes, increase the risk of high blood pressure and hypertension, increase the level of triacylglycerols and cholesterol in the blood, play a key role in cardiovascular disease and are a prediction for cancer . Specifically, men in the Czech Republic rank first in the world in tumors of the rectum and colon, while women rank eighth. An unbalanced diet leads not only to higher energy intake, but paradoxically also to malnutrition, which manifests itself in a deficiency of important micronutrients. Foods with a higher fiber content are gradually gaining awareness today, especially ordinary cereals containing whole grains with a possible fruit content, but the significant biological effect of such foods or mixtures is still not achieved.

The content of common components of edible flowers (proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins) does not differ much from the composition of other plant organs, such as leaves. However, many substances have protective (chemoprotective) or even healing effects, reduce the risk of various diseases and have a positive effect on the human immune system. Of particular note are substances with a high antioxidant effect, such as phenolics, carotenoids, minerals (on average twice the content of potassium, calcium and magnesium, and up to four times the sodium content compared to fruits and vegetables), etc. Often even a small addition of suitable edible flowers can help improve the health of the consumer. Edible flowers can be classified as nutraceutical foods and the content of the above ingredients can be considered unique. Last but not least, it is necessary to mention the content of taste and fragrance components of edible flowers.
