Description

  The present invention relates to the field of functional drinking water, and particularly relates to a bottled hydrogen-rich water drink that is excellent in safety and can be stored for a long time, and a production system and a production method for a bottled hydrogen-rich water drink.

According to common conclusions drawn from scientific research in fields such as biology, medicine, and life sciences, the health and longevity of mankind are related to radicals generated in the life process. Simply put, radicals generated in the metabolic processes of human life are very active and unstable substances in the human body that react with cells and cause abnormal or dead cells, as well as various chronic conditions. Causes disease and aging. Damage to cells by radicals is mainly four terms,
1. Peroxidize lipids and reduce detoxification function.
2. Damages cellular DNA and causes cellular mutation.
3. Destroy metabolic enzymes in the body and interfere with ion balance.
4. Causes an inflammatory response and reduces immune function.
According to many medical research reports, radicals are closely related to aging, arteriosclerosis, stroke, heart disease, cataract, emphysema, diabetes, senile dementia, cancer and the like.

  In order to reduce the damage caused by radicals, there are usually two strategies. One is to reduce radical production, for example, by maintaining good lifestyle habits, avoiding being placed in a polluted environment, and controlling diet and emotions. Another is to eliminate or reduce the effects of radicals that have already been generated, for example reducing radical production by absorbing antioxidants in food. However, in the latter case, most of the antioxidants (eg vitamins) cannot easily pass through the cell membrane, cannot identify and eliminate malignant active oxygen, and a large amount of vitamins are easily absorbed by the human body. Can not be saved.

  According to a research result published by Japanese scientists dated 2007, “Hydrogen gas absorbed in the human body has a clear antioxidant effect (ie, action to eliminate radicals)”. A research boom for Water) occurred. Hydrogen-rich water (or hydrogen water) is not just a healthy water, but the most ideal and safe antioxidant at the moment. The reason for this is that hydrogen-rich water is easily put into cells and is involved in the metabolism of cells, so that it promotes the elimination of poisons by the cells and increases the water action of the cells. Improves immunity and has preventive and therapeutic effects on various diseases caused by oxygen radicals. Furthermore, the hydrogen-rich water can be used not only for drinking but also as a moisturizing lotion, which is particularly effective for skin beauty and sticky care.

  However, for health-type drinking water, it is necessary to satisfy the stable and effective mass index for industrial production and commercial operation. In other words, in order to make hydrogen-rich water itself into a product, several problems such as sanitary requirements for beverages, specific hydrogen content index requirements, storage and transportation requirements, and technical characteristics of whether stable mass production is possible, etc. It needs to be solved. These problems and limitations have already been solved because the technology of general commercial beverages is already matured, but hydrogen gas is very easy to dissipate, so conventional hydrogen-rich water drink technology fully meets these requirements. Not satisfied. The conventional technology effectively reduces the hydrogen gas dissipation rate by a reliable packaging container such as a metal container or a glass container, but oxygen is also enclosed in the process of sealing in the bottle. Dissipation will be accelerated, and the amount of hydrogen already contained in the storage for about two months will disappear. Strict control over temperature and full bottle loading can reduce hydrogen gas dissipation, but the product cannot withstand an effective high temperature sterilization process. Therefore, as a whole, the current hydrogen water beverage technology is still insufficient.

  The main object of the present invention is to provide a bottle-rich hydrogen-rich water that can maintain a relatively high amount of hydrogen in water and satisfy the demand for storage and transportation of hydrogen fishery products in order to ensure high safety and long shelf life.

The air is completely expelled from the bottle container by being released. Finally, the bottle container is quickly sealed so that hydrogen gas and nitrogen gas are stored in the gas containing space not occupied by the hydrogen-rich water drink in the bottle container.

  It is a block diagram of the manufacturing system of the bottled hydrogen rich water drink which concerns on this invention. This will be described with reference to FIG. First, what should be explained is applied to the bottled hydrogen-rich water beverage manufacturing system 100 executing the above steps. As shown in the figure, the production system 100 includes a hydrogen gas generator 1, a water storage tank 3, a water source 4, a filtration device 5, an inert gas supply source 6, and a gas-liquid mixer 7 (gas / water). mixer) and bottled device 8. In the following, first, the connection relationship between all basic device units in the manufacturing system 100, specific examples of each basic device unit, and the operation of each basic device unit will be briefly introduced, and the above steps and basic device units will be introduced in a timely manner. Supplementary explanation of the correspondence between the two.

  In general, with respect to gas and liquid transport, the water storage tank 3 in the manufacturing system 100 includes at least a gas input end 31, a liquid input end 32, and an output end 33. The gas input end 31 is connected to the hydrogen gas generator 1, the liquid input end 32 is connected to the water source 4 via the filtration device 5, and the output end 33 and the inert gas supply source 6 are simultaneously connected via the gas-liquid mixer 7. Connected to the bottled device 8.

  More specifically, when the manufacturing system 100 is operating normally, the hydrogen gas generator 1 supplies hydrogen gas into the water storage tank 3 continuously and stably as a hydrogen source of the system. In a preferred embodiment, the hydrogen gas generator 1 generates hydrogen gas by electrolyzing water, and water molecules generate an electrochemical reaction at the electrode and are decomposed into hydrogen gas and oxygen gas. A person skilled in the art can understand that the method of generating such hydrogen gas is simple and the generation cost of hydrogen gas is low, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

  The water source 4 supplies drinking water or various beverages before contact with hydrogen gas, such as vegetable juice beverages, carbonated beverages, tea beverages, or functional beverages, into the water storage tank 3. And it is preferable that the mineral contained in drinking water is calcium, potassium, sodium, iron, zinc, and magnesium. Furthermore, in order to meet the quality standard of drinking water, before the drinking water provided by the water source 4 enters the water storage tank 3, it first passes through the filtering device 5 to remove impurities, contaminants, bacteria, microorganisms, etc. in the water. Filter. In the present embodiment, the filtration device 5 only needs to be provided with any one of the activated carbon filter 51, the ultraviolet sterilization filter 52, and the nano silver filter 53, but a preferable embodiment is provided with these three at the same time. . The activated carbon filter 51 is connected to the water source, the nano silver filter 53 is connected to the liquid input end 32 of the water storage tank 3, and the ultraviolet sterilizing filter 52 is installed between the activated carbon filter 51 and the nano silver filter 53. Since the function of each filter is well known to those skilled in the art, detailed description thereof is omitted here.

  When the hydrogen gas and the drinking water are brought into contact with each other under a specific pressure by the water storage tank 3, the hydrogen gas is dissolved in the drinking water. In this embodiment, the pressure of the hydrogen gas introduced into the water storage tank 3 is maintained at or above about 1 bar, so that a good contact state between the drinking water and the hydrogen gas is maintained. A hydrogen-rich water drink consisting of dissolving a large amount of hydrogen gas in drinking water can be obtained. The oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) of a hydrogen-rich water drink is -600 to -700 mV (that is, has a high reducing ability). In addition, a gas / water separator is further installed between the hydrogen gas generator 1 and the gas input end 31 of the water storage tank 3 to remove gaseous moisture and particulate matter. It should be particularly explained that the “hydrogen-rich water drink” mentioned in the text refers to simple hydrogen-rich water or drinks of various flavors prepared using hydrogen-rich water.

  The inert gas supply source 6 supplies an inert gas to the gas-liquid mixer 7 during a period when the hydrogen-rich water drink passes through the gas-liquid mixer 7, and the gas-liquid mixer 7 mixes the inert gas and the hydrogen-rich water drink. After that, it is transported to the bottled device 8 for loading, bottle filling and lid sealing. In this embodiment, the inert gas is nitrogen gas, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, in another embodiment, the inert gas is a mixed gas including nitrogen gas and at least one of helium gas, neon gas, argon gas, and carbon dioxide gas.

  This will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 shows a process in which a hydrogen-rich water drink is loaded, bottled and sealed. It should be noted that when the hydrogen rich water drink is loaded, the gas pressure in the bottle container B is unbalanced, so that some hydrogen gas and nitrogen gas are released from the liquid surface, and the bottle container B The air inside can be completely driven out of the bottle container B. At this time, when the bottle container B is quickly sealed, a gas storage space S not filled with the hydrogen-rich water drink is formed in the bottle container B, and only hydrogen gas and nitrogen gas exist in the gas storage space S. To do. At the same time, the inside of the bottle container B is in a pressure balance state, and is maintained so that hydrogen gas in the water is not released. As a result, the bottled hydrogen-rich water drink produced can be stored for a long period of time, and can be immediately consumed when the bottle is opened. Incidentally, the bottle container B may be a synthetic resin bottle, a glass bottle, or a metal bottle having hydrogen gas barrier properties.

  This will be described with reference to FIGS. First, when the manufacturing system 100 executes step S100, the hydrogen gas supplied by the hydrogen gas generator 1 first enters the gas-liquid separator 2 and removes gaseous moisture and particulate matter and then introduces it into the water storage tank 3. Is done. In addition, the drinking water supplied from the water source 4 first enters the filtering device 5 and is introduced into the water storage tank 3 after impurities, contaminants, bacteria, microorganisms and the like in the drinking water are filtered. Thereafter, hydrogen gas and drinking water are brought into contact with each other under a specific pressure to form a hydrogen-rich water drink.

  Subsequently, when the manufacturing system 100 executes step S102, the hydrogen-rich water beverage already formed first enters the gas-liquid mixer 7 and the nitrogen provided from the inert gas supply source 6 in the gas-liquid mixer 7. After mixing with the gas, it is introduced into the bottled device 8. At this time, hydrogen gas and nitrogen gas temporarily exist in the hydrogen-rich water drink.

  And when manufacturing system 100 performs Step S104 and Step 106, the hydrogen rich water drink containing nitrogen gas already formed is poured into bottle container B from bottled apparatus 8, and bottled apparatus 8 is bottle container. When the hydrogen-rich water drink in B is loaded to a certain extent, the bottle container B is quickly sealed by covering the bottle container B, thereby completing the production of the bottle-rich hydrogen-rich water drink.

  As described above, the bottled hydrogen-rich water beverage produced by the method according to the present invention has at least the following advantages as compared with the conventional method for producing a hydrogen-rich water product.

  First, the method according to the present invention is such that “hydrogen gas and drinking water are brought into contact under a specific pressure (the pressure of hydrogen gas introduced into the water storage tank 3 is maintained at about 1 bar or higher). By forming a rich water drink, nitrogen gas is mixed in the hydrogen rich water drink and the pressure of the introduced hydrogen gas is higher than the pressure of the introduced nitrogen gas. Provides good contact between hydrogen gas and dissolves a large amount of hydrogen gas in drinking water, the hydrogen-rich water beverage formed is highly reducible (redox potential reaches -600 to -700 mV) Is provided.

  Furthermore, by adding nitrogen gas, the air in the bottle is driven out of the bottle, and by working to achieve the pressure balance condition in the bottle container, hydrogen gas in the water is kept from precipitating, and therefore manufacturing The bottled hydrogen-rich water beverage product can maintain the initial highly reducing state for a long period of time, and can be drunk immediately when the bottle is opened.
