Definitions
- the present invention relates to the technical field of preparations for a food use, in particular for gin- seng flavoured hot or cold drinks.
- Ginseng is the name commonly used for plants belonging to the Panax genus.
- Panax genus includes eleven species of slowly growing- perennials with fleshy roots, of the Araliaceae fam- ily. These plants normally grow in Asia (especially in China, Korea and Siberia) and in Northern America. Plants normally used in medicine and in the food industry are Panax Ginseng (or Asiatic Ginseng) and Panax Quinquefolius (or American ginseng) . Roots of both plants are used.
- Panax Ginseng From the roots of Panax Ginseng, two forms of ginseng are obtained: the white ginseng, obtained by drying the roots in the sun, and the red ginseng, obtained by steam cooking the roots and then drying them in air. The cooking before the drying has the function of concentrating the active ingredients, ginsenosides, responsible for the beneficial effects of the ginseng.
- the plant of Panax ginseng is used since thousands years by the Chinese traditional medicine for its beneficial (mainly antistress, stimulating and ener- gizing) effects.
- ginseng extracts are used, in quantities lower than those pharmaceutical, as flavouring additives of food products.
- ginseng flavoured coffee and tea very diffused in bars and shops, are known.
- the present invention intends to be an alternative to the common ginseng flavoured products which are currently diffused on the market, above all for those consumers which are intolerant to the exciting effects of coffee and tea.
- the food composition of the invention does not contain additives, such as emulsifiers and thickeners, and it is also suitable for subjects which present food intolerance to milk and its derivatives.
- the problem at the basis of the present invention is to provide a ginseng flavoured food composition which can be intended as a valid alternative to ginseng- containing preparations known in the sector.
- the present invention relates to a food composition including vegetable milk, one or more cereals, ginseng extract, sugar and/or sweetener.
- the composition of the invention can include a pea extracts, in particular an extract of yellow peas.
- the pea extract is a proteinaceous-base extract including vegetable proteins of the pea.
- the pea extract includes proteins, carbohydrates, fats and ashes.
- Proteins are included, in the pea extract, in a quantity from 70% to 99% by weight, preferably between 80% and 90% by weight.
- Carbohydrates are included in the extract in a quantity between 1% and 5% by weight, preferably from 2% to 4% by weight. Fats are included in the extract in a quantity from 0.5% to 3%, preferably from 1% to 2% by weight.
- the pea extract includes ashes in a quantity from 4% to 8%, preferably from 5% to 7% by weight.
- the pea extract used in the composition of the invention is a known food preparation, therefore its prepa- ration process starting from the pea plant will not be explained in this context.
- the vegetable milk is selected from: soy milk, rice milk, oat milk and almond milk.
- the milk preferably used in the invention is soy milk.
- the vegetable milk which preferably is powdered milk, and, alternatively, the pea extracts, are included in the composition of the invention in a quantity from 10% to 50% by weight, preferably from 15% to 35% by weight .
- the vegetable milk and the pea extract have a high proteinaceous content, are free of cholesterol, lactose, casein and show a very low fat concentration. Therefore, they constitute a valid alternative to the cow' s milk, above all for people having problems of lactose intolerance, casein allergy and various allergies.
- the cereal is in form of water-soluble powder and is selected from: barley, malt barley, oat and rice.
- the preferred cereal is the barley in a water-soluble preparation, but barley mixtures with the aforesaid cereals can also be made.
- the cereal is included in the composition in a quantity from 4% to 12% by weight, preferably from 6% to 10% by weight.
- the ginseng extract is preferably a powdered dry ex- tract of the natural root of ginseng.
- the ginseng advantageously used is white or red ginseng of Panax Ginseng roots.
- the dry extract is titrated to 5-12% of ginsenosides .
- the ginseng extract is included in the composition in a quantity between 0.5% and 5% by weight, preferably between 1% and 4%.
- the ginseng imparts to the composition a revitalizing, energizing and antistress effect.

Description
DESCRIPTION "GINSENG FLAVOtJRED FOOD COMPOSITION"
The present invention relates to the technical field of preparations for a food use, in particular for gin- seng flavoured hot or cold drinks.
Ginseng is the name commonly used for plants belonging to the Panax genus.
Panax genus includes eleven species of slowly growing- perennials with fleshy roots, of the Araliaceae fam- ily. These plants normally grow in Asia (especially in China, Korea and Siberia) and in Northern America. Plants normally used in medicine and in the food industry are Panax Ginseng (or Asiatic Ginseng) and Panax Quinquefolius (or American ginseng) . Roots of both plants are used.
From the roots of Panax Ginseng, two forms of ginseng are obtained: the white ginseng, obtained by drying the roots in the sun, and the red ginseng, obtained by steam cooking the roots and then drying them in air. The cooking before the drying has the function of concentrating the active ingredients, ginsenosides, responsible for the beneficial effects of the ginseng. The plant of Panax ginseng is used since thousands years by the Chinese traditional medicine for its beneficial (mainly antistress, stimulating and ener-
gizing) effects.
Over the last years, ginseng extracts are used, in quantities lower than those pharmaceutical, as flavouring additives of food products. In fact, ginseng flavoured coffee and tea, very diffused in bars and shops, are known.
The present invention intends to be an alternative to the common ginseng flavoured products which are currently diffused on the market, above all for those consumers which are intolerant to the exciting effects of coffee and tea. Moreover, differently from the commercially available products, the food composition of the invention does not contain additives, such as emulsifiers and thickeners, and it is also suitable for subjects which present food intolerance to milk and its derivatives.
The problem at the basis of the present invention is to provide a ginseng flavoured food composition which can be intended as a valid alternative to ginseng- containing preparations known in the sector.
Such problem is overcome by the food composition as defined in the appended claims.
The present invention relates to a food composition including vegetable milk, one or more cereals, ginseng extract, sugar and/or sweetener.
Alternatively to the vegetable milk, the composition of the invention can include a pea extracts, in particular an extract of yellow peas.
Preferably, the pea extract is a proteinaceous-base extract including vegetable proteins of the pea.
In particular, the pea extract includes proteins, carbohydrates, fats and ashes.
Proteins are included, in the pea extract, in a quantity from 70% to 99% by weight, preferably between 80% and 90% by weight.
Carbohydrates are included in the extract in a quantity between 1% and 5% by weight, preferably from 2% to 4% by weight. Fats are included in the extract in a quantity from 0.5% to 3%, preferably from 1% to 2% by weight.
The pea extract includes ashes in a quantity from 4% to 8%, preferably from 5% to 7% by weight. The pea extract used in the composition of the invention is a known food preparation, therefore its prepa- ration process starting from the pea plant will not be explained in this context.
The vegetable milk is selected from: soy milk, rice milk, oat milk and almond milk. The milk preferably used in the invention is soy milk. The vegetable milk, which preferably is powdered milk,
and, alternatively, the pea extracts, are included in the composition of the invention in a quantity from 10% to 50% by weight, preferably from 15% to 35% by weight . The vegetable milk and the pea extract have a high proteinaceous content, are free of cholesterol, lactose, casein and show a very low fat concentration. Therefore, they constitute a valid alternative to the cow' s milk, above all for people having problems of lactose intolerance, casein allergy and various allergies.
Preferably, the cereal is in form of water-soluble powder and is selected from: barley, malt barley, oat and rice. The preferred cereal is the barley in a water-soluble preparation, but barley mixtures with the aforesaid cereals can also be made.
The cereal is included in the composition in a quantity from 4% to 12% by weight, preferably from 6% to 10% by weight. The ginseng extract is preferably a powdered dry ex- tract of the natural root of ginseng. The ginseng advantageously used is white or red ginseng of Panax Ginseng roots.
Preferably, the dry extract is titrated to 5-12% of ginsenosides . The ginseng extract is included in the composition in
a quantity between 0.5% and 5% by weight, preferably between 1% and 4%.
The ginseng imparts to the composition a revitalizing, energizing and antistress effect. The sugar used is selected from: sucrose, glucose, fructose, glucose syrup, rice or barley maltose, honey, agave juice, maple juice, grapes juice, while the sweetener is selected from the common commercially available products, such as aspartame, saccharin, ace- sulfame, etc.
The preferred component for imparting sweetness to the composition is the cane sugar.
The sugar and/or sweetener is included in the composition in a quantity from 50% to 80%, preferably from 60% to 75%.
The composition of the invention can possibly contain, as well, a ginseng flavour in a quantity from 1% to 8%, preferably from 3% to 6% by weight, for the purpose of imparting a more marked ginseng flavour. The food composition is obtained by mechanically and intimately mixing the components above listed, preferably used in a water-soluble powder.
The mechanical mixing is carried out in a conventional way for those skilled in the art. For example, the mixing takes place at room temperature and in a dry
way. The mechanical stirrer preferably used is a crossed helical blade-mixer, but other types of mixers conventionally used in the sector can be used. By mechanical stirring a homogeneous composition is obtained, also without the addition of emulsifiers or thickeners .
The composition of the invention appears as a both cold and hot water-soluble powder, and is mainly used for preparing hot or cold drinks. For this purpose, for example, 10 g of soluble composition is dissolved in 50 mL of water, to give a hot or cold drink.
The composition of the invention can be simply added to hot or cold water, by stirring the mixture until a complete dissolution of the powder. Alternatively, the composition can be employed for the preparation of instant drinks with express dispenser machines. Therefore, hot or cold drinks obtainable from the dissolution in water of the food composition of the in- vention are also an object of the present invention.
Drinks obtained with the composition of the invention are characterized by a surprising robust, marked and unique taste. It can be presumed that by the combination of known ingredients in the quantities above de- scribed, a synergic interaction which allows to obtain
a composition having an absolutely particular and palatable taste may be obtained.
Accordingly, the composition of the invention is precisely differentiated from the ginseng flavoured cof- fees or teas which are currently on the market and is a valid alternative thereof, above all for consumers intolerant to the exciting effect of coffee and tea and for people allergic to milk derivatives. The composition of the invention can also be employed as an ingredient in the preparation of ice-creams, mousses, semifreddos, cakes and other raw or cooked foods with a marked ginseng flavour.
Therefore, food products, such as ice-creams, mousses, semifreddo, cakes and other raw or cooked foods ob- tained by using the food composition of the invention are also an object of the invention. EXAMPLE 1
