Description

The present invention relates to the non-alcoholic industry and can be used to improve the functioning of the musculoskeletal system of athletes; people subject to great physical exertion; overweight and elderly people. The claimed product can be used for complex strengthening and renewal of the connective tissues of the body, as well as a means of nutricosmetics to improve the appearance of the skin, accelerate its regeneration and counteract the appearance of signs of aging.

The most common protein in the human body, accounting for 30% of their total amount, is collagen, which has a fibrous structure, due to which it has high tensile strength. Collagen fibers elasticize the structure of the skin, connective tissues and joints, ensuring their resistance to mechanical deformation.

Collagen synthesis in the body decreases with age, which accelerates the degradation of tendons, ligaments, and cartilage and disrupts the formation of intraarticular fluid, which reduces friction in the joints.

Collagen is also the main protein component of human skin. Thanks to him, the skin looks fresh, supple and supple. As in joints, the production of natural collagen in the skin decreases with age, which leads to the externally observed effect of aging. Small furrows appear on the face and body of a person, which then become deeper and turn into noticeable wrinkles.

Like other components of the human body, the skin and joints require adequate nutrition to ensure the regeneration of the collagen contained in them. It should be noted that the amino acid composition of collagen as a protein is characterized by significant specificity. At the same time, traditional food products contain a very small amount of components that are required for the synthesis of native collagen.

The absorption of collagen from cosmetic creams, masks, balms and other similar products is also significantly limited by the need for large collagen molecules to penetrate through the layers of the epidermis and dermis. Therefore, a one-time amount of collagen obtained from cosmetics is very limited and therefore ineffective.

The intake of products containing natural collagen along with food, for example, connective tissues and cartilage of animals or the inhabitants of the sea, also does not solve this problem, since the digestibility and accordingly digestibility of these products in the human body is low.

One of the most effective means to ensure the natural synthesis of collagen in the body is the additional consumption of specially prepared collagen in the composition of functional foods.

Known drugs for the prevention of joint diseases and specialized foods to replenish the collagen content in the body (patents RU 2254862, 2360665; certificate of state registration of products No. RU.77.99.19.007.E.003801.12.10, No. RU 77.99.88.003.E.008871.09. fifteen).

Known biologically active food supplement "Tablets" Hydrolyzed Collagen with Vitamin C "(" Hydrolyzed Collagen with Vitamin C "), produced in the form of tablets weighing 1240 mg by Nature's Bounty, Inc., 2100 Smithtown Avenue, Ronkonkoma, New York, 11779 (USA) (state registration certificate No. RU.77.99.11.003.E.003407.04.14 dated 04/02/2014).

This product contains collagen hydrolyzate, ascorbic acid, L-ornithine, cellulose, silicon dioxide and magnesium stearate.

Its disadvantage is an unbalanced composition due to the lack of components that contribute to the supply of the body with the necessary amount of bioenergy necessary for the process of collagen assimilation in the body and its enzymatic supply.

In addition, the large mass and significant size of the tablets cause difficulty in swallowing them. This also leads to an increase in the duration of the disintegration of tablets in the stomach, which reduces the rate of assimilation and the bioavailability of collagen components.

Known biologically active food supplement "Collagen Lift", produced in liquid form in bottles of 9 ml by the company "Medex doo", Linhartova cesta 49 A, 1000 Ljubljana (Slovenia) (state registration certificate RU.77.99.11.003.E.011725.12 from 12/05/2014).

The drink contains water, agave syrup, collagen hydrolyzate, powdered acerola juice, hyaluronic acid, natural flavoring (lemon essential oil) and potassium sorbate.

The disadvantage of the proposed product is the lack of biological catalysts and dietary fiber in it, which ensure the normal process of collagen synthesis in the body.

Closest to the proposed technical solution is a biologically active food supplement “Concentrated Blueberry-Pomegranate juice with collagen” (“Blueberry & Pomegranate juice with collagen”), produced in liquid form in 255 ml bottles by New Spirit Naturals Inc., 615 West Allen Avenue, San Dimas CA 91773 (USA) (state registration certificate RU.77.99.11.003.E.011725.12.14 dated 05.12.2014).

The proposed product contains collagen hydrolyzate, ascorbic acid, green tea, citric acid, concentrated blueberry juice, fructooligosaccharides, concentrated pomegranate juice, powder with minerals of natural origin (magnesium, potassium, lithium, boron, calcium, chlorides), potassium sorbate, sodium benzoate, flavors natural wild cherry, cranberry, deionized water.

The disadvantage of this product is the lack of energy-rich components in its composition, which requires the body to have large bioenergy costs for the synthesis of native collagen. The product also has insufficient consumer characteristics.

The objective of the invention is the creation of a functional food product with a healing and cosmetic effect, providing targeted preventive, anti-inflammatory and regenerative effects on joints, ligaments and other connective tissues of the body. The product is intended to positively affect the state of the outer layers of the skin in order to increase their ability to absorb and retain moisture. As a means of nutricosmetics, a functional product should have attractive sensory characteristics for consumers.

The solution of these problems is achieved by the fact that the functional food product - non-alcoholic drink “Komplit amino liquid” includes collagen hydrolyzate, vitamin C, inulin, fructose, isomaltulose, citric acid, flavoring, food coloring, potassium sorbate and water in the following ratio of starting components, wt . %:

Collagen hydrolyzate 36.0-38.0 Vitamin C 0.26-0.30 Inulin 3.0-3.2 Fructose 18.0-22.0 Isomaltulose 6.0-6.8 Lemon acid 1.6-2.0 Flavoring 0.3-0.4 Food coloring 0.28-0.32 Potassium sorbate 0.08-0.10 Water rest

A flavoring additive gives the drink the taste of cola, apricot, passion fruit orange, cherry, barberry, wild berries, pineapple.

The technical result achieved by the implementation of this invention is to obtain a functional product that contributes to the comprehensive strengthening and effective regeneration of the connective tissues of the body and the prevention of diseases of the musculoskeletal system. The product due to additional nutrition from the inside helps to improve the appearance of the skin and increase its density and elasticity.

The above result is achieved due to the selection of the components of the compliant amino liquid, based on scientific research data, the establishment of optimal ratios between them in order to achieve the maximum physiological effect on the body and the formation of high consumer qualities of the product.

The proposed product is developed in the form of a drink, since the consumption of food, including functional, components in dissolved form is more convenient for many people who have difficulty swallowing large quantities of powders or large tablets or capsules. In addition, this has a positive effect on their bioavailability and accelerates the absorption of the body in comparison with their intake in powder, tablet or capsule form.

Another advantage of the use of functional products in liquid form in relation to athletes and people engaged in heavy physical labor is the prevention of dehydration of their body during periods of intense physical activity, since a deficiency of only 2% of water in the body leads to a decrease in a person's strength capabilities by more than 40 %

The non-alcoholic drink “Komplit amino liquid” contains an easily digestible collagen hydrolyzate in an amount of 36-38 wt. % The high content of this component is an advantage of the claimed product, since when consuming 35 ml of a drink (two tablespoons), the recommended daily intake of collagen is about 10 g / day.

With a decrease in the amount of collagen hydrolyzate in a drink, its functional effectiveness decreases, and with a higher one, its consumer properties deteriorate.

The use of collagen in the composition of a drink in the form of its hydrolyzate eliminates possible problems associated with the duration and possible discomfort of digesting natural collagen in the stomach, and also increases the digestibility and rate of synthesis of its own collagen in the body.

The collagen hydrolyzate used in the composition of the drink is obtained by the enzymatic hydrolysis of natural collagen, which is carried out under mild conditions, which fully preserves its original amino acid composition. This is the reason that the collagen hydrolyzate obtained enzymatically contains all the necessary set of building elements for the synthesis of its own collagen.

Unlike the original collagen, its hydrolyzate does not form a gel and dissolves well even in cold water. In addition to free amino acids, the enzymatic collagen hydrolyzate contains oligopeptides consisting of short polymer chains of amino acids.

These odigopeptides actively stimulate specialized body cells to produce their own collagen. In the process of digestion, they enter the circulatory system through the walls of the intestine and then, due to blood flow, enter the body zones where collagen is synthesized. This leads to the high biological effectiveness of the enzymatic collagen hydrolyzate.

The synthesis of collagen in the body is a complex multi-stage process, which must be provided with a sufficient amount of vitamins and minerals. One of the key participants in this process is vitamin C - ascorbic acid, which ensures the normal course of the synthesis process and its fairly high speed.

Acting together, collagen hydrolyzate and vitamin C contribute to the strengthening and restoration of connective tissues, especially after injuries, various joint diseases, and prevent the development of degenerative processes in them. Vitamin C as part of the drink “Complete amino liquid” also performs the functions of an antioxidant.

Ascorbic acid is included in the composition of the drink in an amount of 0.26-0.30%, i.e. when consuming its recommended disposable amount (35 ml), the daily requirement for this nutrient is fully satisfied.

The process of digestion of collagen hydrolysates is provided not only by enzymes contained in the gastric juice, but also by bacterial enzymes produced by microorganisms that function in the large intestine.

In order to normalize the activity of the gastrointestinal tract and increase the efficiency of assimilation of collagen hydrolyzate in the body, inulin is part of the product.

Inulin refers to fructooligosaccharides (fructose polymers) and consists of 30-35 of its elements. Inulin is included in the group of prebiotics, i.e. food components that are not digested or absorbed in the upper gastrointestinal tract, but are fermented by the microflora of the human large intestine.

Their function is to have a beneficial effect on the human body as a result of selective stimulation of growth and increased biological activity of normal intestinal microflora.

Inulin allows you to stabilize in people experiencing increased physical activity, the basic functions of the gastrointestinal tract and adapt the body to prolonged physical effort.

Inulin also stimulates bone growth and, as a result, prevents the occurrence of various diseases of the bone skeleton. This effect is achieved due to the positive effect of inulin on the absorption of calcium by the human body. Inulin intake during the year leads to an increase in bone density of more than 25%;

The composition of the drink “Complete amino liquid” inulin is included in an amount of 3.0-3.2 wt. %, which allows satisfying at least 15% of the recommended daily intake rate. With a higher content of inulin in “Komplit amino liquid” there is a negative change in its taste characteristics.

The combination of inulin and vitamin C in the composition of “Komplit amino liquid” allows you to create conditions for a more complete enzyme support of the synthesis of your own collagen in the body.

Fructose is a representative of monosaccharides (simple carbohydrates) used by the body to produce energy. A feature of fructose is that its absorption in the body occurs without the participation of insulin. Fructose metabolism is carried out mainly in the liver, where it is converted to glycogen, which is one of the main sources of bioenergy during prolonged physical exertion.

Fructose Glycemic Index, i.e. the rate of entry into the blood after its transformation in the body is significantly lower than glucose, which allows us to consider it as a "long" source of bioenergy. This fact is important for the process of collagen synthesis in the body, since it is characterized by a low speed.

Fructose in the composition of the drink is included in the amount of 18-22 wt. % When taking 35 ml of the drink is thus provided, about 25% of the daily norm of its consumption. Fructose, with its intense, peculiar sweet taste, also takes part in creating the sensory profile of the compliant amino liquid drink.

Another carbohydrate, which is part of the drink “Komplit amino liquid” in the amount of 6.0-6.8%, is the spatial isomer of sucrose - isomaltulose.

Isomaltulose consists of the same structural elements - glucose and fructose as regular sugar (sucrose). However, in the isomaltulose molecule, the bond between glucose and fructose is via the α-1,6 glycosidic bond, in contrast to the α-1,2 bond, as in the case of sucrose.

Isomaltulose is a natural compound, as it is found in honey, sugarcane juice and a number of other plant objects.

The main advantage of isomaltulose, as a functional component of food, is its slow absorption in the body. The length of the process of bioenergy generation by the body as a result of hydrolysis of this disaccharide is a positive factor, since it does not cause a sharp increase in insulin in the blood.

The glycemic index of isomaltulose (GI) (an indicator that characterizes the rate of sugar intake into the blood) after taking isomaltulose is 30, which is more than three times less than for glucose.

However, despite its low GI, isomaltulose is a fully digestible carbohydrate and has an energy value close to sucrose.

The increased time interval for complete assimilation of isomaltulose by the body at the same calorie content as sucrose is especially valuable for athletes, people who are not able to fully eat during the day, control their body weight or experience increased physical activity.

An additional argument in favor of the advisability of including isomaltulose in the composition of the proposed drink is the fact that it, unlike traditional sucrose, does not lead to tooth decay.

This is due to the fact that isomaltulose is not destroyed by bacteria contained in the oral cavity, and therefore does not lead to the formation of acid, which is dangerous for tooth enamel, which is the main cause of caries.

The simultaneous presence of isomaltose in combination with fructose in the composition of the claimed drink allows you to increase the total maximum amount of digestible carbohydrates from 60 to 90 g / hour, which positively affects the energy supply of muscles and joints with intense physical effort.

The sweet taste of isomaltulose is harmonious and soft without the presence of any extraneous shades or the presence of an aftertaste. The sweetness of isomaltulose is less pronounced than that of sucrose, and is about 0.4-0.5 of its value. Together with fructose, which is distinguished by a high degree of sweetness, this creates the original sensory profile of the compliment Amino Liquid drink.

Citric acid in an amount of 1.6-2.0 wt. % in the composition of the claimed drink allows you to stabilize its pH in the most acceptable range for consumers - from 5.0 to 7.0. She also takes part in shaping the attractive taste of the drink.

Used in the composition of the drink "Complete amino liquid" various types of flavoring additives in an amount of 0.3-0.4 wt. %, allow you to create a variety of sensory characteristics and aroma for a drink - cola, apricot, passion fruit orange, cherry, barberry, wild berries, pineapple.

The choice of food coloring in the composition of the drink in an amount of 0.28-0.32 wt. % depends on the flavor used and is consistent with it in accordance with the usual ideas about berries and fruits.

So, when using the passion fruit orange flavor, the main color of the food coloring is yellow, cherries are red, etc.

To ensure a long shelf life of the soft drink, potassium sorbate in the amount of 0.08-0.10 wt. %

The composition of the developed “Amino liquid” soft drink is characterized by the synergistic action of its functional components in order to achieve the maximum beneficial effect on the human body.
