In today's era, people's increasing attention to health and nutrition has led to a growing demand for functional foods in the market. As a form of functional food, solid drinks, powders and granules have gradually become an important choice in People's Daily life. This article will provide a comprehensive introduction to the processing of solid beverages, powders and granules and their homologous characteristics to meet the needs of consumers for a detailed understanding of this field.

1. Processing process of functional food powder

1. Raw material preparation and screening

The quality of solid drinks depends on the selection and preparation of raw materials. Manufacturers need to strictly screen raw materials that meet quality standards to ensure their purity and safety. At the same time, according to the needs of the product formulation, accurate measurement and mixing of the appropriate raw material ingredients to ensure the nutritional balance of the product and good taste.

2. Powder preparation and mixing

In the process of solid beverage processing, the preparation and mixing of powder is a key step. By grinding, grinding and screening the raw materials, a fine powder is prepared. Then, the manufacturer mixes all kinds of powder in accordance with the formula ratio, and mixes it evenly by stirring, oscillating, etc., to ensure the consistency of product quality.

3. Special process treatment

In order to increase the special taste and functionality of solid drinks, manufacturers can use special processes. For example, through spray drying technology to convert liquid ingredients into powder form, or through low temperature treatment to retain the active ingredients and nutrients in the raw material, so that the product has the characteristics of medicine and food.

Second, the processing technology and characteristics of powder granules

1. Preparation method of powder granules

Powder granules are processed into granules by a specific processing technology for easier use and storage. The main preparation methods include extrusion method, spray method, coating method, etc. These processing technologies can ensure the solubility, stability and nutritional characteristics of the products that maintain the homology of medicine and food.

2. Characteristics of powder granules

By converting the powder into the form of a granule, powder granules have many advantages in terms of use and storage. First, granules dissolve faster and are easier to prepare and use. Secondly, the granules can be coated to increase the stability of the product and maintain the activity of the raw ingredient. Most importantly, the use of granules is more convenient and meets consumers' demands for portability and experience.

Third, the relationship between medicine and food homology and functional food

1. Definition and significance of homology of medicine and food

Homology refers to the existence of similar chemical compositions or functions between food and drugs, and has certain health care or therapeutic effects. As a representative of the homology of medicine and food, functional food has certain pharmacological functions, which can help regulate body function and improve immunity.

2. Advantages and future development trend of functional food

Functional food not only meets people's needs for health and nutrition, but also has certain market competitiveness and commercial value. In the future, the functional food market will develop in a more personalized and diversified direction. Manufacturers should make full use of advanced processing technologies and high-quality raw materials to introduce more innovative and superior quality solid beverage, powder and granule products.
