Description

The invention relates to the tea industry of the food industry and can be used for special herbal tea formulations (or medicinal collections), which are a source of flavonoids, anthocyanins and anthraquinones, designed to cleanse the body and reduce weight, as well as a tonic that has a normalizing effect on the nervous system.

Various herbal tea compositions are known which envisage the use of cassia leaves with various additives (for example, RF patent No. 2142235), as well as compositions where cassia leaves are replaced with buckthorn bark (for example, RF patent No. 2169479).

Moreover, various compositions in various combinations and combinations have a wide range of focus.

Also known are medicinal preparations for cleansing the body, which are used in the form of a herbal tea (for example, RF patent No. 2097052), which simultaneously contain cassia, buckthorn, additional aromatic and / or flavoring additives, as well as a number of other components. Moreover, this collection does not make the necessary emphasis on aromatic and gustatory qualities (only lingonberries, dogrose and St. John's wort from its composition can slightly correct them, but not compensate). In addition, the strong combined effect of cassia and buckthorn, which in some cases can be expressed in a prolonged upset of the stomach and intestines and even vomiting, is uncompensated.

The objective of the invention is to create a herbal tea formulation that eliminates the disadvantages of the closest analogue, dramatically improves the organoleptic of herbal tea by incorporating peppermint in the composition, affects the stimulation of digestive tract enzymes, improves the intestinal flora, acquires a completely new, better taste, including by reducing the taste cassia.

The technical result of the invention “herbal tea” is a gentle cleansing of the body without exhaustion, the ability to reduce weight, the ability to normalize the digestive tract and have a moderate tonic and calming effect on the human immune system, the ability to reduce pressure.

The technical result is achieved due to the fact that the herbal tea to cleanse the body and reduce weight contains cassia, hibiscus and peppermint in the following ratio of components, wt.%:

hibiscus 43.0-51.0 cassia 44.0-52.0 peppermint 3.5-7.0

while the dispersion of peppermint particles is 1.0-4.0 the dispersion of cassia particles.

Herbal tea may additionally contain food flavoring in an amount of 1.0-2.5 wt.%.

The dispersion of hibiscus particles is 0.3-1.0 mm, and the dispersion of cassia particles is 0.1-0.7 of the dispersion of hibiscus particles.

Peppermint may contain a dust component in an amount of 0.3-0.7 wt.%.

Lemon, or strawberry, or wild berry, or blackberry, or cherry, or honey, or currant, or raspberry, or pineapple, or blueberry, or feijoa, or apricot, or cranberry, or lingonberry, or almond, is used as food flavoring, or strawberries, or bergamot with lemon.

Traditional medicine uses cassia leaves (Cassia acutifolia Del - Cassia Senna L.), also called senna or the Alexandrian leaf, as a laxative to improve appetite for edema. It reduces intestinal absorption. Its constant use completely relieves constipation. Cassia contains anthraquinones linked by glycosidic bonds and free. Among them, annoside A, sennoside B, as well as anthro derivatives - rhein, aloe-emodin, emodin, flavonoids, chrysophane, salicylic and other acids, alkoloids, resins.

Since cassia contains antraglycosides (approximately 3.7%), its use outside the compositions is limited due to its somewhat tough effect and is not recommended for people suffering from bowel obstruction, for children and pregnant women.

The role of hibiscus (Hibiscus Sabdariffa), called hibiscus (or Sudanese rose, or Jamaican beechum, or red sorrel, or American mallow, or rosenella), in this composition is not limited to its known properties: increase the nonspecific resistance of the body due to the high content of vitamin C, a diuretic effect and a muffler of the bitter tastes of other components (in this case, cassia). Hibiscus contains a large set of various organic acids: malic, tartaric, citric, recently discovered - hibiscus, as well as anthocyanins, flavonoids, phytosterols, etc. In traditional African medicine, hibiscus flowers are used as an anticonvulsant, bactericidal, diuretic, choleretic, hemostatic, anti-inflammatory drug, as well as with weeping eczema. Side effects of hibiscus are unknown.

Peppermint (Mentha piperita M) is a perennial herbaceous plant of the family Labioata (Labiatae). The leaves and all the aerial parts of peppermint are eaten as a spice, are widely used in various sectors of the food industry, and are also used in traditional and traditional medicine. The leaves and inflorescences contain essential oil, the main part of which is menthol. The composition of the essential oil also includes menton, menthol esters with acetic and valerianic acids, methyl acetate, limonene, cineol, thymol, carvacrol and other compounds. In addition, mint leaves contain flavonoids (hesperidin, anthocyanins, leukoanthocyanins, etc.), carotene (up to 40 mg%), nitrogen-containing compounds (betaine), triperpenoids (ursolic and oleanic acids), sterols, tannins (3-5% tannins), macro- and microelements (potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, copper, zinc, selenium, manganese, etc.) and other substances. Essential oil and menthol stimulate the secretory function of the gastrointestinal tract, increase bile secretion. Preparations from mint leaves have an antispasmodic, sedative, analgesic effect, have anti-inflammatory, antiseptic properties, enhance the secretion of digestive glands, and increase bile secretion.

The basis of the problem solved by this invention is an empirically determined such balanced set of components, including cassia, hibiscus and peppermint under all the conditions specified in the essence of the invention, which helps to remove "slag" from the body while normalizing the functional activity of the organs for removing these "slag" and also taking into account the preservation and restoration of the functions of the digestive, cardiovascular and immune systems of the body.

In combination with cassia and peppermint peppercorns, hibiscus exhibits new unexpected properties, not only compensating for the negative side effects of cassia, but also creating an overwhelming effect of the composition under fairly wide conditions - different percentages found experimentally.

The inclusion of peppermint in the composition affects the stimulation of digestive tract enzymes, improves the intestinal flora, acquires a qualitatively new, better taste, including by reducing the taste of cassia.

Even with various declared ratios of the components of cassia-hibiscus-peppermint, all the above therapeutic and wellness results are achieved. This is due to the fact that the effect of hibiscus in combination with peppermint, even in relatively small amounts (especially under the conditions of the indicated dispersion of all components), is normalizing for the intestine: laxative in constipation and fixing in case of excessive laxation, and many other properties of hibiscus, recently used in Russia medicine and the food industry are not yet known and unexpectedly appear when it is combined with herbal medicines of central Russia. These properties also depend on the processing and use.

Particle dispersion, at which these results are optimized, and also shows the greatest effectiveness (such that the dose can be reduced by 1.5-2 times), has been established experimentally and is due to complex and multifactorial processes of interaction of the constituent substances, which are carried out to a large extent on the surfaces of particles, the rate of occurrence of these processes and, as a consequence, different shares of the resulting components.

A wide range of effects of the claimed composition is also established when using different parts (or mixtures thereof) of the ingredients: flowers, seeds, cuttings and vein leaves. Any combination of parts is possible. For example, hibiscus flowers, cassia leaves, peppermint stems, or hibiscus buds, cassia fruits, peppermint leaves, or hibiscus flowers and buds, cassia seeds, peppermint leaves and stems, etc.

The composition is used in the form of a herbal tea and may also contain aroma-flavoring additives, for example, in the form of a flavoring food lemon, or strawberry, or wild berry, or blackberry, or cherry, or honey, or currant, or raspberry, or pineapple, or blueberry, or feijoa, or apricot or cranberry, or lingonberry, or almond, or strawberry, or bergamot with lemon.

A method of manufacturing a herbal tea

The composition is made by separately drying the components. All components are dispersible by any method known in the industry (optimally - to the particle sizes indicated above). Then produce mixing for 3-10 minutes. The resulting blend can be packaged in disposable bags or in boxes, depending on the method of further use. Before mixing, if this does not provide technological equipment, in the best case, the process of separation of fractions with the indicated sizes and dust components is carried out. The latter in the amount of 0.5-0.7% for hibiscus, 0.3-0.5% for cassia and 0.5-0.7% for peppermint can be introduced into the composition of the ingredients in order to optimize the indicated results, as well as increase their durability. With their introduction, phytotea retains a more compensated aroma-flavor scale for a longer time. The presence of the dust component of mint enhances the sedative effect of the claimed multicomponent composition.

Additional aromatic and / or flavoring additives that are used to combine the taste with the usual tastes of consumers are lemon, or strawberries, or wild berries, or blackberries, or cherries, or honey, or currants, or raspberries, or pineapples, or blueberries, or feijoa, or apricot, or cranberries, or lingonberries, or almonds, or strawberries, or bergamot with lemon.

The resulting herbal tea contains the following biologically active substances.

The amount of flavonoids in terms of rutin is not less than 11.0 mg, which is 37% of the adequate level of consumption of flavonoids with food.

The content of anthraquinones, about - 20.0 mg.

The content of anthocyanins is 6.0 mg, which is 12% of the adequate level of consumption of flavonoids.

Implementation examples

1. Herbal tea contains: hibiscus - 47 wt.%, Cassia - 48 wt.%, Peppermint - 5 wt.%.

2. Herbal tea contains: hibiscus - 47 wt.%, Cassia - 46 wt.%, Peppermint - 5 wt.%, Additional aromatic additives in the form of bergamot with lemon - 2 wt.%.

3. Herbal tea contains: hibiscus - 46 wt.%, Cassia - 48 wt.%, Peppermint - 4.5 wt.%, Additional aromatic additives in the form of pineapple - 1.5 wt.%.

The dispersion of particles in all three examples is: for hibiscus 1 mm, for cassia 0.7 mm, for peppermint - 2 mm.

Thus, as a result of the implementation of the proposed invention, a phytotea is obtained that has a pleasant aroma and taste different from those previously known in this field, which contributes, first of all, to the cleansing of the body and gentle weight loss with a general healing and prophylactic ability. Its use to cleanse the body is useful at any stage of pollution of the latter. The laxative effect is moderate and combined with a cleansing and anti-inflammatory effect. Preventive and therapeutic effects exclude any overdose, do not require adherence to a strict reception structure.

The effects of lowering cholesterol levels in the human body, antiulcer action and the effect of a general decrease in the body's intoxication as a result of alcoholism and drug addiction, as well as a beneficial effect on the prevention and treatment of premature aging of the human body, as confirmed by state expertise of the Research Institute of Nutrition RAMS, are also noted.
