energy drink

Functional beverages refer to beverages that adjust the composition and proportion of natural nutrients in the beverage to meet the nutritional needs of certain special populations. They are suitable for specific populations to drink, have the function of regulating the body, and are not intended to treat diseases. They include three categories: nutritional beverages, sports drinks, and other special-purpose beverages. The main function of functional beverages is to resist fatigue and replenish energy.
Classification of functional beverages
Polysaccharide beverages: mostly referring to beverages containing dietary fiber, which can regulate the gastrointestinal tract. Drinking it before or after meals can help with digestion and eliminate toxins from the body. Long term consumption by people with constipation can gradually regulate the intestines, relieve and treat constipation.
Vitamin drinks: can supplement various nutrients needed by the body. Vitamin drinks not only supplement the vitamins needed by the human body, but also have antioxidant components that can clear body waste and have anti-aging effects. This type of beverage is suitable for everyone. However, most vitamin drinks are high in sugar and are not recommended for people with diabetes. For example, Red Bull is the representative of canned functional drinks, which can activate vitamin supplementation and refreshing effects, but the caffeine contained in them is not suitable for minors to drink. Bottled INFI power drinks do not contain caffeine, but they are also not recommended for minors to drink.
Mineral drinks: Similar in function to vitamin drinks, they are used to supplement various mineral elements such as iron, zinc, and calcium that the human body needs, enhance immune function and physical fitness, improve osteoporosis, and effectively resist fatigue. Suitable for adults who are prone to fatigue, not suitable for children.
Sports balance drinks: can reduce consumption and restore vitality. Most of them contain a large amount of beneficial proteins, peptides, and amino acids for the human body, which can timely supplement the water and electrolytes (salt) lost by the body due to excessive exercise and sweating, and achieve a balanced state of body fluids. Suitable for all types of people after physical exertion, not suitable for children, and with caution for patients with high blood pressure.
Probiotics and probiotic beverages: can promote the growth of beneficial bacteria in the human gastrointestinal tract, improve intestinal function, help digestion and beauty, especially suitable for the elderly and people with indigestion.
Low energy drinks: Their calorie, fat, and sugar content are lower than other functional drinks, especially those that supplement physical fitness, making them suitable for obese individuals. Low energy drinks are very suitable for Chinese people to drink, because the proportion of Chinese people in sub-health is relatively serious. In 2012, the proportion of the world's sub-health population has reached 75%. One of the reasons for sub-health is that we always eat high energy food because of our usual eating habits. Especially for many special groups of people (such as the elderly, children, patients, or those with high physical exertion), overeating in order to consume nutrients can lead to sub-health problems such as obesity. Drinking low-energy functional beverages can supplement the nutrients our body needs. We can drink solid functional beverages containing amino acids, which are the basic building blocks of protein and can help the body provide nutrition. Drinking amino acid beverages containing amino acids not only does not cause sub-health problems, but can also supplement the nutrients our body needs and enhance immunity.
Process flow of functional beverages
The complete set of equipment for producing functional beverages can generally be divided into:Water treatment equipment, refrigeration equipment, saccharification treatment equipment, bottle treatment equipment, and pressure filling equipmentWait.
(1) The function of water treatment equipment is to make tap water or deep well water clear, transparent, non-toxic, sterile, and odorless, meeting the requirements of national drinking water quality standards.
This type of equipment includes sand filters, water purifiers, and ultraviolet sterilizers.
(2) The function of refrigeration equipment is to cool the treated water to the temperature required for mixing. These devices include refrigeration compressor units, cold drink water tanks, cold drink storage boxes, evaporators, etc.
(3) The saccharification treatment equipment is used to make the original liquid of functional drinks, melt the solid sugar through heating, stirring and filtering, and make raw materials for various drinks with various fruit juices, colored water essence, etc. This type of equipment includes syrup mixers, saccharification pots, syrup filters, etc.
(4) The function of bottle processing equipment is to clean, disinfect, and sterilize plastic bottles (liquid filling containers) to meet national hygiene standards. This set of equipment includes: soaking machine, bottle washing machine, bottle standing machine, etc.
(5) The function of the grouting equipment is to inject grout and carbonated water into the container bottle, and then seal it with a lid. When using equal pressure sliding packaging, beverages from disposable mixers can be directly poured into the bottles and sealed on the same machine, eliminating the need for grouting process and equipment. The sealed bottles are labeled (manually or mechanically) and then packed.
Equipment configuration of functional beverage production line
1. Glycation
Add an appropriate amount of pure water, heat it to 75 ℃ with steam, put white sugar into the pot to dissolve, add 1% of white sugar to the sugar using powdered activated carbon, stir thoroughly, and filter through a diatomaceous earth filter to achieve a syrup concentration of 45BX '.
2. Mixing tank
Inject 60% of the rated water volume into purified water and heat it up to 80%. Add the extraction solution and the finished syrup separately, and start stirring at the same time.
3. Plate and frame filter machine
Filter the liquid in the ingredient tank through a 0.5-5 μ m plate and frame filter, and the final liquid should be transparent, odorless, and free of visible substances to the naked eye.
4. Buffer tank
Fill the filtrate to the rated volume.
5. High speed separator
5890r／min， When the liquid passes through the machine, the centrifugal effect generated by high-speed rotation is used to separate impurities that are insoluble in water and discharge them from the liquid.
6. Instantaneous sterilization machine
Sterilization temperature 137 ℃, 2-4 seconds. When the material liquid passes through the sterilization machine, the vast majority of microorganisms in the material liquid can be killed, and it is in a commercial sterile state. The sterilization temperature must be well controlled. If it is too high, it can easily cause browning of the liquid, while if it is too low, it will affect the sterilization effect. Adding an appropriate amount of cyclodextrin can effectively prevent the color change and aroma deterioration of the liquid caused by high-temperature sterilization.
7. Pre treatment of empty PET plastic bottles
8. High level electric control constant temperature tank
This process adopts high-temperature filling. It is required that the filling temperature of the liquid should not be lower than 87 ℃. Considering the temperature difference with the environment, a high-level electronic control constant temperature device should be installed.
9. Three in one filling machine
This machine integrates bottle flushing, filling, and capping, and is automatically controlled by PLC. The PET empty bottles that have been pre processed are washed with sterile water and automatically enter the filling and sealing process.
10. Bottle filling sterilization machine
The semi-finished product after sealing (compared to products that have completed labeling, coding, and other processes) quickly passes through the bottle pouring system in about 40 seconds. During this period, the liquid inside the bottle uses its own waste heat to sterilize the bottle cap and mouth again, and then enters the spray cooling device through the conveyor belt.
11. Spray cooling machine
The machine sprays warm and cold water in sections to rinse the liquid adhering to the bottle during the filling process. At the same time, the sudden temperature change caused by the spray cooling can also have the effect of sterilizing again.
12. Set of standard shrinking machine
After passing through the labeling machine, the trademark enters the shrinking machine, which is divided into two types: electric heating and steam heating. The shrinkage temperature can be adjusted according to the material of the trademark (different shrinkage ratios), and the contracted trademark should be beautiful, generous, wrinkle free, and stain free.
13. Code spraying, inspection, and warehousing
After labeling, the product is coded, inspected by the inspector, and the certificate of conformity is filled out, then packed and sealed. Finished products are stored in the warehouse.
