DESCRIPTION Field of invention

The invention relates to the field of food and beverages, in particular, relates to a Ganoderma Lucidum coffee and its manufacturing process.

Background of invention

Typically, coffee can be made through the treatment of roasting, grinding, filtration or extraction, drying of natural coffee bean. Coffee has its main ingredients including caffeine, tannin, fat, protein, sugar, minerals... etc. Coffee provides a sense of refreshing and improves the sensitivity of thinking. It also support the curing of diseases. The caffeine can improve smooth blood circulation and ruining. It also cure respiratory problem and migraine. Besides, the caffeine can promote the functionality of stomach and prevent senile dementia.

Ganoderma Lucidum is one of the Chinese medicines used along with both daily food and functional health food. It is reputed as "immortality" and "Zhi Rong". In the "Shen Nong's Herbal Classic", it was listed as "the drug with high quality and provides good health, non-toxic, no side effects if it is taken a long time, it can make the body light, anti-aging, benefits vitality, longevity." Polysaccharides and polysaccharide polymer (glucose, polysaccharide peptide and over one hundred kinds of complex polysaccharides) in Ganoderma Lucidum can induce the body to produce interferon, start their own immune surveillance system, increase in tumors of cancer patients the number of natural killer cytoplasmic, enhance the phagocytosis of macrophages. Meanwhile, certain trace elements of minerals in the Ganoderma Lucidum can stimulate the body to produce endorphins which has a strong analgesic effect. Ganoderma Lucidum benefits the health of bone marrow, increasing platelets, white blood cell count, anti-anemia, reducing the tumor surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy toxicity, improving the rate of healing and remission, the quality of life and to prolong life.

Both Ganoderma Lucidum and coffee can give a sense of refreshing. In fact, the natural taste of the coffee is bitter but such taste will become a distinctive pleasant taste through the treatment of roasting and supplemented by additives (milk, sugar, etc.). As such, people like to drink coffee due to the strong taste and drinking coffee becomes one of everyday life in the world.

However, coffee would produce a temporary brain nerve stimulation only and it is not persistent. After a short excitement by taking coffee, the user may feel much more tired than before and they will to continue to take more coffee or do another act to stimulate such a continuous excitement.

Ganoderma Lucidum (Ganoderma Lucidum means an extract of Ganoderma Lucidum plants after treatment) would cause nerve excitement and such stimulation is persistent and does not have any side effect. However, Ganoderma Lucidum including its extract or finished product is tasted bitter when taking. The bitter taste with combination of smell bad cause the user does not want to take it daily. And therefore Ganoderma Lucidum cannot become a daily consuming health product in real life.

In addition, if the user does not take Ganoderma Lucidum regularly, it would not possible for him to obtain the maximum benefits from the positive effects of Ganoderma Lucidum.

A. A first embodiment

Preparation of a powder of an extract of Ganoderma Lucidum and Chinese medicine: Firstly, the user is required to measure the ingredients in terms of weight portions in a proportional basis, it is to weigh 5-20 weight portions of Ganoderma Lucidum, 4-12 weight portions of Cortex Eucommiae, 1-4 weight portions of Rhizoma Polygonati, 4-12 weight portions of Codonopsis and 3-9 weight portions of Achyranthes Root. Secondly, they are required to ground into powder and then placed in a reactor. While the reactor is heating, the user is required to add water into it. When the heating continues until boiling, the reaction will be continued to 0.5-2 hours. Afterwards, the materials inside the reactor will be moved to a vacuum dryer and after dehydration, the power of Ganoderma Lucidum and Chinese medicine is therefore formed.

Preparation of Ganoderma Lucidum coffee:

Firstly, it is to mix the powder of Ganoderma Lucidum and Chinese medicine and the coffee powder together. Based on the weight proportion of the powder of Ganoderma Lucidum to the coffee or ground coffee, that is to mix the powers in terms of weight portions in a proportional basis. The weight proportion is ranging from (5 to 2) to (3 to 2). From the above combination, the user can cook the coffee with different tastes to satisfy the needs of different people. After mixing the powders up, the user can divide the mixtures into certain quantities and then pack them into individual containers. The Ganoderma Lucidum coffee is finally formed.

B. A second embodiment

Firstly, the user uses the steps mentioned in the first embodiment to make the powder of Ganoderma Lucidum and Chinese medicine. Next, the user mixes the powder of Ganoderma Lucidum and Chinese medicine, the coffee powder, sugar, milk powder up. Based on the weight proportion of the power of Ganoderma Lucidum to the coffee powder to the sugar to the milk powder, that is to mix the above ingredients in terms of weight portions proportionally. The weight proportion is read as 15-20 weight portions of the powder of an extract of Ganoderma Lucidum and Chinese medicine to 8-10 weight portions of the coffee powder to 2-10 weight portions of the sugar to 15-30 weight portions of the milk powder. From the above composition, the user can cook the instant coffee with different tastes to satisfy the needs of different people. After mixing the powders up, the user can divide the mixtures into certain quantities and then pack them into individual containers. The instant Ganoderma Lucidum coffee is finally formed.

It is convenient that the user is only required to add water into the powder of the instant Ganoderma Lucidum coffee conveniently in order to enjoy the coffee.

C. A third embodiment

Preparation of a liquid Ganoderma Lucidum and Chinese medicine:

Firstly, the user is required to measure the ingredients in terms of weight portions in a proportional basis, it is to weigh 5-20 weight portions of Ganoderma Lucidum, 4-12 weight portions of Cortex Eucommiae, 1-4 weight portions of Rhizoma Polygonati, 4-12 weight portions of Codonopsis and 3-9 weight portions of Achyranthes Root. Secondly, they are required to put into an enclosed reactor. The user is required to heat the reactor and add water into it. The reaction will be under the conditions by applying the pressure of 0.95-1.5 Mpa and the temperature of 95-130 C for 0.5 to 2 hours. Afterwards, the materials inside the reactor will be filtrated. The filtration forms the liquid Ganoderma Lucidum and Chinese medicine.

Preparation of the Ganoderma Lucidum coffee beverage:

The user mixes the liquid Ganoderma Lucidum and Chinese medicine, the coffee powder, sugar, milk (liquid milk, milk powder or creamer) up. Based on the weight proportion of the liquid Ganoderma Lucidum and Chinese medicine to the coffee powder to the sugar to the milk, that is to mix the above ingredients in terms of weight portions proportionally. The weight proportion is read as 20-30 weight portions of the liquid Ganoderma Lucidum and Chinese medicine to 8-10 weight portions of the coffee powder to 2-10 weight portions of the sugar to 15-30 weight portions of the milk. From the above combination, the user can make the coffee with different tastes to satisfy the needs of different people and it is possible to drink the Ganoderma Lucidum coffee beverage conveniently.

In another embodiment, by making the powder or liquid Ganoderma Lucidum and Chinese medicine, 1-4 weight portions of Radix Astragali will be added into the composition of 5-20 weight portions of the Ganoderma Lucidum, 4-12 weight portions of the Cortex Eucommiae, 1-4 weight portions of the Rhizoma Polygonati, 4-12 weight portions of the Radix Codonopsis, 3-9 weight portions of the Radix Achyranthis Bidentatae.
