具食用性之纖維顆粒結構Edible fiber particle structure

本創作有關於一種顆粒結構，尤指一種具食用性之纖維顆粒結構。 This work relates to a granular structure, especially an edible fibrous particle structure.

二十世紀初，由於醫學科技多方面地突破，使得人類壽命逐漸攀升，然而，便利地生活卻也連帶引發許多不可預知的疾病，因此，社會大眾開始對於預防性養生保健產品越來越重視，像是有益身體健康、低熱量及消除疲勞之營養補充品(包含食品、飲品、膳食輔助品等)，儘管於低迷地經濟環境中這些產品仍於消費市場中有著持續成長之空間，足見人們現今防範勝於治療之基礎觀念。 At the beginning of the twentieth century, due to the breakthrough of medical science and technology, the life span of human beings gradually increased. However, the convenience of life has also led to many unpredictable diseases. Therefore, the public has begun to pay more and more attention to preventive health care products. It is a nutritional supplement (including food, drinks, dietary supplements, etc.) that is good for health, low calorie and fatigue. Although these products still have room for continuous growth in the consumer market in a depressed economic environment, it is true that people are nowadays. Prevention is better than the basic concept of treatment.

「膳食纖維」一詞係近年來於營養學之新名詞，是泛指一般不易被消化之食物營養素，其內容物來自於植物之細胞壁，包含纖維素、半纖維素、樹脂、果膠及木質素等，而膳食纖維於現今養生保健中是不可缺少的飲食之一，主要在於纖維在維持消化系統之完善運轉上上扮演著極為重要之角色，因此，攝取足夠的纖維亦可預防心血管疾病、癌症、糖尿病以及其它疾病發生之機率，此外，纖維更具有清潔消化壁和增強消化功能，且可同時稀釋並加速移除食物中所含有之致癌物質及有毒物質，保護脆弱之消化道及預防結腸癌，再者，纖維可減緩消化速度和最快速***膽固醇，所以可讓血液中的血糖 和膽固醇控制在最理想的水平。 The term "dietary fiber" is a new term in nutrition in recent years. It refers to food nutrients that are generally difficult to digest. The contents are derived from the cell wall of plants, including cellulose, hemicellulose, resin, pectin and wood. Quality, etc., and dietary fiber is one of the indispensable diets in today's health care. The main reason is that fiber plays an extremely important role in maintaining the perfect function of the digestive system. Therefore, taking enough fiber can prevent cardiovascular disease. , cancer, diabetes and other diseases occur, in addition, the fiber has a clean digestion wall and enhance digestion, and can simultaneously dilute and accelerate the removal of carcinogens and toxic substances contained in food, protect the vulnerable digestive tract and prevent Colon cancer, in addition, fiber can slow down the rate of digestion and the fastest excretion of cholesterol, so it can make blood sugar in the blood And cholesterol is controlled at the optimal level.

國內業者針對膳食纖維亦推出相當多樣地營養產品，包含有藥丸、膠囊及粉末等等，其製作過程經常係先將植物性纖維進行處理形成細小的粉末，再經由水溶性膠體將呈現粉末狀之植物性纖維進行聚合，進成形成外型均一化之藥丸或膠囊內容物。 Domestic manufacturers have also introduced a variety of nutritional products for dietary fiber, including pills, capsules and powders. The process is often to process the vegetable fibers to form a fine powder, which is then powdered by a water-soluble colloid. The vegetable fiber is polymerized to form a pill or capsule content which is uniform in appearance.

上述習知對於實用性及方便性上仍尚欠不足，並具有以下兩點缺點存在，其一者，食用方便性之問題，藥丸之粒徑較大，難以吞嚥，且容易造成咽喉道刮傷，並產生食用陰影，而膠囊係由粉末填充，其製作過程耗時，且無法品嘗纖維之口感及口味，而粉末服用易發生揚粉效應，使粉末先進入氣管非進入食道，進而發生嗆到之機率，更造成呼吸道沾粘，使得真正食入之藥量不足，人體難以吸收足夠成分；另一者，習知之技術手段經常會參雜使用具有人工化學成分之水溶性膠體，以期提高整體黏度，使產品之外型均一化，由於現今營養觀念的抬頭，加以醫學科技之進步，營養產品一一皆被放大鏡檢視，漸漸地許多產品皆因人工化學成分有一定機率無法通過毒物醫學之檢驗；因此，如何在現今強敵環伺的營養食品巨人中脫穎而出，走出一條屬於自己的道路，便成為營養產品業者一項重要之課題。 The above-mentioned conventionals are still insufficient in practicality and convenience, and have the following two disadvantages. One of them, the convenience of eating, the particle size of the pill is large, it is difficult to swallow, and it is easy to cause throat throat scratching. And the food is shaded, and the capsule is filled with powder, the production process is time consuming, and the taste and taste of the fiber cannot be tasted, and the powder is easy to take the powder effect, so that the powder first enters the trachea and does not enter the esophagus, and then occurs. The probability of causing the respiratory tract is sticky, so that the amount of medicine actually ingested is insufficient, and it is difficult for the human body to absorb sufficient components. On the other hand, the conventional techniques often use a water-soluble colloid with artificial chemical composition to improve the overall viscosity. To make the appearance of products uniform, due to the rise of today's nutritional concepts, advances in medical technology, nutritional products are all examined by magnifying glass, and gradually many products are unable to pass the test of toxic medicine because of the possibility of artificial chemical components; Therefore, how to stand out from the nutritious food giants who are now strong enemies, and get out of their own way. , Nutritional products industry has become an important topic of.
