Description

Title of Invention: MIXTURE OF EXTRUDED FOOD INGREDIENTS FOR THE COMPOSITION OF A COMPLETE AND BALANCED MEAL, PACKAGED AND FOR CONSUMPTION IN

A SELF-SUPPORTING SYSTEM

Technical Field

[1] This descriptive report refers to an application for an invention patent for food made from ingredients suitable for human ingestion, obtained from extrusion and capable of packing in a specific package (with nutritional information printed on it) in order to provide the consumer with a meal in a self-supporting system (ready). After acquired in the point of sale, the meal, as it does not need to be prepared, can be consumed anywhere and at any time the consumers wish, by just opening the package and eating the product with its nutritional properties, and it may also provide functional properties, equivalent to a balanced meal, which can be consumed in the form of lunch, dinner or as a snack.

Background Art

[2] It is known that one of the major concerns of modern people, especially in large

urban centers, is now the question of food.

[3] Over the past century, the transition of man's lifestyle from countryside to cities has become inevitable due to the acceleration of the industrial process once factories and mass production complexes tend to be located close to large populations, where there is available the manpower required for its operation. With the transformation of cities into megalopolis, and economic growth coupled with rapid industrialization, there have been profoundly changes in the professional, commercial and social relations, forcing humans to adapt not only to the benefits but also to the problems brought about by these new life conditions.

[4] In addition to the new psychological conditions observed in living in large urban areas, other things - of physical nature - occur, causing changes to the behavior and to the very organism of the modern man. One of these arises, for example, from the ease of movement currently provided by automobiles, trains, subways, buses, etc. Another condition related to the latter derives from the phenomenon of automation, in which every day electronic systems are developed for the mechanic animation of various devices in order to replace old physical tasks, from more important work, such as farming work, to the trivial door opening or stair climbing, activities that can be performed today with the simple push of buttons. Buttons are also just pushed for the automatic movement of tractors, shovels, escalators, elevators, gates, windows of vehicles and so on. Finally all this contributes to prevent the vast majority of physical efforts once done by humans.

[5] Such conditions 'provide comfort' but contribute to limit physically modern people, directing them to a natural and dangerously sedentary way of life that may cause them health problems because it is proven that the human body needs to move in order to have the perfect functioning of its organism. Such limitations, from the heaviest efforts to minimal gestures, are aggravated by the abundant availability in urban centers of food with very high percentages of sugars and fats. Based on this reasoning, it is easy to conclude that the modern man, especially in their working week, besides not walking, jogging or working out, lives in the high air pollution, feeding themselves poorly and overly.

[6] This poor diet is often done through eating unhealthy foods such as the 'snack'

(snacks made of cheese, ham, such as drumsticks, pot pies and other products with the marked presence of saturated and transaturated fats accompanied by soda in addition, of course, to other foods such as chocolate, ice cream, etc.).

[7] The consequences of this combination on the daily life (sedentary lifestyle/poor diet) are reflected not only in adults but also in children and teenagers, with consequences to health, among which one of the most worrisome is the obesity.

[8] 'Obesity, nediez or pimelosis - is a disease in which the natural reserve of fat

increases until the point at which it becomes to be associated with certain health problems or with the increase in mortality rate. Although it is an individual clinical condition, it is considered increasingly as a serious and growing public health problem: excessive body weight predisposes to a variety of diseases, particularly cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus type 2, sleep apnea and osteoarthritis '.

[9] In large urban centers, especially in everyday life, in work situations, for example, the professional is often extremely busy and does not want to 'waste time' sitting at the table and really having lunch in a complete and balanced way, .i.e., they cannot or will not practice the 'ritual' of sitting quietly for eating a dish prepared with carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, vitamins and minerals. Such activity, that is, the ingestion of a healthy diet is 'accelerated' with the replacement through the so-called 'snacks' or 'fast food'.

[10] A common practice is the professional, in traffic, stop their vehicle in front of a bar or restaurant, buy a snack or fast food and eat it while driving, temporarily easing hunger in order to only in the evening have dinner, or in critical cases have a snack or fast food at night as well. Anyway, even in the evening leisure or trips, the appeal in terms of palatability - brought by the snack or fast food - is becoming increasingly seductive extending its consume to adults, teenagers and children.

[11] Therefore important foods such as vegetables, beans, rice (rich in fiber and important to the cardiovascular system) or soy (which contributes, among other things, to the woman's hormonal balance) are left out, passed over by products full of the so-called 'transaturated fat' or saturated fat, excessively harmful to human health problems cited as high rates of blood sugar, 'bad' cholesterol, impaired function of certain organs, etc.

[12] 'According to World Health Organization (WHO), there are more than 1 billion over-weighed adults and 300 million with obesity worldwide.

[13] By increasing the risk of diabetes, arterial hypertension, cardiovascular disease, joint diseases, psychiatric disorders and certain types of cancer, the WHO considers obesity a top ten threats to the integrity of health in the world and one of the five major threats in industrialized countries. A recent study conducted by the Rand Institute concluded that obesity is more closely linked to the emergence of chronic diseases than living in poverty, smoking or drinking. The authors of this study estimate that the fact of being obese implicates premature aging equivalent to 20 years'.

[14] In attempts to inhibit the high consumption of sugars and fats, modern people has at their disposal today cereal bars developed from ground up and pressed food containing certain amount of fiber and some energetic power. It is a common practice athletes or sportsmen, for example, carry cereal bars, which they can chew while in motion. Such food can inhibit hunger momentarily by giving the consumer a certain feeling of satiety, but not completely satisfying them, especially compared to the ingestion of a drumstick, bread and cheese, and much less as compared to a real meal.

[15] In conclusion, the wrong food causes individual health problems, which, transferred to the social level, become issues virtually endemic that ends up requiring actions and huge expenses from public institutions for the psychiatric and physical care of such persons, for example obese or with other types of diseases, related or not.

[16] Another type of health problem closely related to food is the phases of life of women and men named 'menopause' and 'andropause', respectively. As it is known, at this stage of menopause, the lack of sex hormones affect various parts of the body bringing the woman consequences such as intense heat waves and sweating, bleeding, vaginal dryness and discomfort, involuntary loss of urine, changes in brain chemistry that affects mood, emotions, causing anxiety, depression, fatigue, irritability, memory loss, insomnia, decreased sexual desire. More severe problems can be mentioned, such as cardiovascular risk and onset of osteoporosis.

[17] The treatment, usually done through hormone replacement therapy, use of antidepressants, drugs for hypertension and others, obviously requires strict care and medical supervision, and yet they can also cause some unwanted side effects arising from the drugs used.

[18] What it is observed, however, is that the problems described above occur in less aggressive form in oriental women due to their diet, which is rich in soy.

[19] Thus it is easy to conclude that either in the case described above (menopause) - as an example - or in andropause and other phases of human life, the body requires adequate food in close correlation in order to the perfect performance of the functions of organs that compose it, always associated with exercises.

[20] Therefore food in urban centers, whether in eastern or western world, is a decisive factor for the well-being of the population. An ideal situation is to offer food that does not impose aggression or harmful side effects to the human body and that at the same time act naturally as a preventive against possible diseases through complete and balanced nutrition.

Disclosure of Invention

Technical Solution

[21] The food in question, the object of this application for an invention patent, has

exactly the intention of provoking, preferably in the population of urban centers, a system to replace the habit of eating fast foods (saturated fat and sugars) by a meal equally 'fast' but complete and balanced in terms of nutrients, and which may also present nutrients/ingredients with functional properties, appropriately packaged and having on the package the information about the nutritional value of food.

[22] The food, through its ingredients and nutrients, is made exactly to avoid problems such as obesity, cholesterol and diabetes, among others, and can also act preventively under the action of nutrients with functional properties, fighting any problem that could attack the human body.

[23] Therefore, it is initially prepared a combination of ingredients needed for human health, which will serve as the basis for the initial food paste of the food in question. The food paste is produced in an extruder to obtain (for mold) of particles packed in bags for a unique feeding system for humans. The system provides three major combinations, varying in the form of ingredients mixture, thus there are two variations of mixture over the food paste in extrusion and one more variation during the packing of the food which will be offered to the final consumer.

[24] Thus, an initial mixture of ingredients can be called 'dry food mixture,' in which foods like bran, flour from milling, impastation, mechanical crushing or other processing of cereals are stored in a silo, combined with foods from processes of dehydration, transformed or not in powder (in the case of dehydrated food turned into powder, they are passed through the milling process) from tubercles, meat and vegetables. After stored in silos, the ingredients mentioned above, in the form of mixture, are handled in volume and percentages appropriate to the content of the food being made and milled in the milling machine, and then inserted into an extruder for the advancement of food paste in heating, in which it is possible to apply the injection of fillings in a variety of textures and flavors, such as fruits, vegetables, meats, among others.

[25] Next, the food paste is expelled in the form of extruded particles for human food, going to the later stages of packing and distribution to the population, according to the system to be proposed later.

[26] A second mixture of ingredients can be called 'wet food mixture,' which is formed from a base of 'dry food mixture' of the previous variation. The 'dry food mixture,' as discussed above, consists of bran, flour from the milling of cereals mixed with dehydrated food turned into powder or not, initially conditioned in a silo, and after being dosed in volumes and percentages appropriate to the content of the food to be formulated, are inserted into the extruder, therefore forming in this variation a base that, in advance, receives in natura food for the formation of 'wet food mixture' with the pumping of meat from healthy animals suitable for human consumption, whether it is beef, pork, chicken, fish, eggs, or vegetables, in addition to vegetables and fruits, roots and tubercle. At the exit of the extruder, after receiving or not the addition of fillings, then the extruded particles are obtained from human food from the 'wet food mixture,' followed by the packing and distribution.

[27] A third variant in relation to the formation of the initial food paste is caused by the food paste in advancement in the extruder, but combining volumes similar to 'dry food mixture' and 'wet food mixture' to obtain the extruded particles of human food that may or may not receive the filling. In this variation the particles obtained by extrusion receive, on the stage of packing, the addition, in its own package, of dehydrated foods, mainly fruits, and may, however, also receive other dehydrated ingredients.

[28] In all three variants the mixture receives the inclusion of vitamins, minerals, oils, fats and other nutritional elements, and may also receive the addition of ingredients with functional properties, prebiotics and probiotics before, during or after the stage of extrusion.

[29] It is identified the action of the so-called functional foods, such as prebiotics, in the form of fructooligosaccharides (FOS), obtained by the hydrolysis of inulin - a polymer of glucose that can be extracted from onion, garlic, tomato, bananas among other foods. As for the probiotics, they have form of microorganisms that can be added to food, increasing its nutritional and therapeutic value in addition to maintaining balance in the gut flora.

[30] According to the combination of ingredients, therefore, a certain type of food will be produced, and we could then get into the food paste in formation, through the three variants proposed above, any food combinations we want and that meet the nutritional needs (fighting obesity, high cholesterol and others) and functional needs of the human being (as it will also act as prevention against disease, protection of organs and tissues and maintenance of basic reactions of the organism). [31] In a next cycle the food produced in this form, extruded in form of particles, will be filled with the addition or not, at this stage, of dehydrated food (preferably fruit - as explained in the third variant of the food paste, aforementioned), and put in a specific packing.

[32] The package, according to the system provided, will be used in accordance with the type and composition of food, so that inside it we can hermetically insert a group of these particles formed from the ingredients with nutritional value that meet the needs of human beings, and that may also - such particles - present nutrients/ingredients with functional properties. These ingredients and their nutritional values are necessarily identified through the printed label on the package as part of the project.

[33] So the packaged food, in order to compose a complete and balanced meal already ready for ingestion, with their nutritional content and functional properties (if any) duly specified (printed label), will be distributed at the adequate points of sales and will offer people, mainly in urban centers, a unique self-supporting food system. By the proposed system the consumer will be offered the possibility, while driving, working at their desks or even walking, after purchasing the package containing printed the kind of food they want or need, and they just have to open it, take out the tablets, and consume them in form of a complete meal, without any preparation.

[34] The system in question, therefore, proposes that through same procedure of purchase and consumption of a 'snack', the public has access to a full meal, also attractive in terms of palatability and with all the ingredients that meet the nutritional needs of the human body. The food, as being totally devoid of 'transaturated fat', will certainly help in the public fight against obesity and cholesterol in addition to preventing illness as it may contain the foods with functional properties such as probiotics and prebiotics, acting, for example, in order to mitigate the effects menopause, andropause and other problems inherent to the organism in all stages of human life.

[35] Through the proposed system it will be only required that the population adapt

themselves to this kind of meal, which will also depend on the willpower and discipline on the part of each consumer.

[36] Superficially explained, the extruded food is passed and the system of preparation and use, to be further detailed through the attached figures, from which we can see: Description of Drawings

[37] Figure 1 - Schematic view showing the first variant of the preparation and/or mixture of the food paste, or the denominated 'dry food mixture,' until the formation of the particles for human food. In this variation, the food paste is formed by bran and flour and other grain milled in the mill, along with meats, tubercles and vegetables coming from dehydration. Such dehydrated foods may also be ground. The food, ground and not ground, is stored in a silo. Similarly, in the detail 'Α', one can see the package used, which contains the nutritional values and printed information (according to the lot of food produced). After combined food is inserted in the extruder, in appropriate volumes and percentages, it is formed the food paste or 'dry food mixture' in advance being expelled by the mold so that after cutting the particles are collected, properly inserted in the package, which will proceed to the point of sale;

[38] Figure 2 - Schematic view showing the second variant of the preparation and/or mixture of the food paste, or 'wet food mixture,' in which is used for its formation the basis of 'dry food mixture' of the previous variation. As noted, the foods from the milling and dehydration, milled or not, which form the basis of the 'dry food mixture,' are stored in the silo and then inserted into appropriate volumes in a given point of the extruder, receiving in advance the pumping of in natura food, i.e., meat from healthy animals suitable for human consumption, whether it is beef, pork, chicken, fish, eggs, or vegetables, in addition to vegetables and fruits, roots and tubercles. With the pumping of the in natura food on the basis of the 'dry food mixture' it is formed the 'wet food mixture'. Thus, after the extrusion the particles are formed, which are obtained from the 'wet food mixture,' which are packaged and taken, in packages, to the point of sale;

[39] Figure 3 - Schematic view showing the third variant of the preparation and/or

mixture, combining the 'dry' and 'wet' food mixes before mentioned, which, after packing in the silo are inserted in appropriate volumes in the extruder, receiving the pumping of food in natura and being transformed into particles for human food. After leaving the extruder, at the filling stage, as illustrated by the figure, the particles are inserted into the package in appropriate volumes and percentages along with dehydrated foods (mainly fruits), composing the final food. As the figure shows, the ready-made packages, containing the extruded food for a full meal, and with ingredients/nutrients properly displayed (printed), are transferred to points of sales for the consumption in self-supporting system;

[40] Figure 4 - Schematic views in perspective illustrating a consumer tasting the food purchased, already made. As the figure shows, in two different situations, by the proposed system in any location where the consumer is, whether working, in a day-off or not, walking or in any situation that they might be, they just need to open the package and remove the particles, feeding themselves properly through a meal equivalent to a lunch, dinner or snack. The food can be consumed, therefore, as lunch, or dinner, or as a snack, in whole or gradually, at any time.

[41] In accordance with the figures above, the 'MIXTURE OF EXTRUDED FOOD INGREDIENTS FOR THE COMPOSITION OF A COMPLETE AND BALANCED HUMAN MEAL, PACKAGED AND FOR CONSUMPTION IN A SELF- SUPPORTED SYSTEM', the object of this invention patent application is made up from the preparation of nutritional food ingredients, which can also provide functional properties necessary for human health, and is initially mixed in volumes and values studiously balanced through of three variations of mixtures provided for the system, obtaining, therefore, the food paste three types of 'food mixtures for human beings.' [42] As illustrated in Figure 1, the food mixture in a first variation will be made up of foods such as bran, flour and other cereals (1) coming from the grinding, impastation, mechanical crushing, preferably processed in the grinding chamber (2), said completed food (1), in this variation, in a parallel stage, by dehydration in a lyophilization chamber (3), convection chamber or similar, of food (4) as meats, tubercles and vegetables. Such dehydrated food (4) may or may not be ground. In the case of ground dehydrated food (5), they are passed into a grinding chamber (2) coupled, thus forming a first variation of mixture called 'dry food mixture.' Such 'dry food mixture' is stored in a silo (6).

[43] As illustrated in Figure 2, the food paste in a second variation can be formed from a base of 'dry food mixture' of the first variation. For this purpose, foods as bran, flour and other cereals (1) coming from the grinding, impastation, mechanical crushing and similar, combined to the dehydrated food (4) or ground dehydrated foods (5) as tubercles, meat and vegetables, which form the 'dry food mixture,', are stored in a silo (6). In this variation, the 'dry food mixture' (1), (4) and (5) will be combined with in natura food (7), such as meat from healthy animals suitable for human consumption, whether it is beef, pork, chicken, fish, eggs, or vegetables, in addition to vegetables and fruits, roots and tubercles, packed in a container (8) appropriate, thus forming a second variation of the mixture, named 'wet food mixture.'

[44] As illustrated in Figure 3, the food paste in a third variation will be formed by the combination of ingredients from the base of the 'dry food mixture' and 'wet food mixture.' For this purpose, the 'dry food mixture,' made of bran, flour and other cereals (1) and by dried ingredients (4) and dehydrated ingredients in powder (5), is stored in the silo (6) and supplemented by ingredients in natura (7), such as meat from healthy animals suitable for human consumption, whether it is beef, pork, chicken, fish, eggs, or vegetables, in addition to vegetables and fruits, roots and tubercles, which form the 'wet food mixture,' packed in the container (8). In this variation, it used in the combination of the 'dry food mixture' and the 'wet food mixture' mainly fruit (9) processed in the camera of dehydration (3), resulting in dehydrated fruit (10) that will have added to it after the preparation of the combination 'dry food mixture' and 'wet food mixture,' thus forming a third variation of the mixture named 'wet and dry food mixture with dehydrated fruit.' The dehydrated fruit, in another composition for this 'wet and dry food mixture,' can be replaced by other dehydrated ingredients.

[45] So with the variations composed, the 'dry food mixture,' the 'wet food mixture' and the 'wet and dry food mixture,' will be passed to the stage of extrusion. As will be seen, the 'wet and dry food mixture' will receive, after the stage of extrusion, preferably the addition of dehydrated fruits.

[46] As illustrated in Figure 1, parallel to the processes of mixing, the system provides for the use of packages (11) prepared by printing process and which will have (12) on its external face the nutritional values according to the food to be processed by variations and combination of the mixture of the ingredients used.

[47] Thus, as illustrated in Figure 1, for processing the first variation of the mixing or 'dry food mixture,' the ingredients (1), (4) and (5) stored in the silo (6) are inserted into appropriate volumes and percentages in an extruder (13). The mixture receives the inclusion of vitamins, minerals, oils, fats and other nutrients, and can receive ingredients/nutrients with functional properties such prebiotics and probiotics before, during or after the extrusion stage. With the advance it is obtained the food paste that, in order to be expelled in the head, by the mold, passes through the cutting stage forming the particles (14) of human food. Such particles (14) are deposited in line, at the stage of filling, in the packaged (11) which, after the hermetically sealed, are taken to the point of sale for consumption by consumers.

[48] As illustrated in Figure 2, for processing the second variation of the mixing, or 'wet food mixture', the ingredients (1), (4) and (5), which comprise the 'dry food mixture,' are stored in the silo (6) and inserted into appropriate volumes and percentages in the extruder (13). The food paste can receive the insertion of vitamins, minerals, oils, fats and other nutrients, such as nutrients with functional properties, as prebiotics and probiotics, before, during or after the extrusion stage. During the advance to 'dry food mixture' or base, it receives, by a pump (15) connected to a specific container (8), the pumping of the ingredients in natura (7), in appropriate volumes and percentages, thus obtaining the 'wet food mixture' that, when expelled in the head, by mold, passes through the cutting stage, forming the particles of (14) human food. Such particles (14) are deposited in line, at the stage of filling, in the packaged (11) which, after the hermetically sealed, are taken to the point of sale for consumption by consumers.

[49] As illustrated in Figure 3, for processing the third variation of the mixing, or 'wet and dry mixture with dehydrated fruit,' ingredients (1), (4) and (5) stored in the silo (6) are inserted in appropriate volumes and percentages into the extruder (13). The mixture receives the inclusion of vitamins, minerals, oils, fats and other nutritional elements, such as nutrients with functional properties, as prebiotics and probiotics, before, during or after the extrusion stage. Throughout the advance, the food paste in heating gets, by the pump (15) connected to the specific container (8), the pumping of the in ingredients natura (7) forming the 'wet food mixture' which, when expelled in the head, by the mold, passes through the cutting stage, obtaining the particles (14) of human food. Such particles (14) are deposited in line, at the filling stage, in the package (11), in volume and percentages that allow the addition of dehydrated fruit (10), and the package is (11) then sealed and taken the point of sale for consumption by the consumers. In another combination, the 'wet and dry food mixture' may receive, in the filling stage, the addition of other dehydrated ingredients.

[50] In all three variations, the food will receive the insertion of vitamins, minerals, oils, fats and other nutritional elements, such as nutrients with functional properties as prebiotics and probiotics, before, during or after the extrusion stage.

[51] In all three variations, the food could receive, at the extruder head (13), by applicator needles (16) connected to a container (17), injection of fillings in a variety of textures and flavors, such as fruit flavors, vegetables, meats, among others.

[52] The package used (11) will have the information printed on it (12) indicating the type, composition and values of the food in nutritional terms and, when appropriate, the values of ingredients /nutrients with functional properties, whether of food obtained from the 'dry food mixture', or from the 'wet food mixture', or from the 'wet and dry food mixture with dehydrated fruit.' These ingredients and their nutritional and functional values (if any) are therefore necessarily indicated via printed label on the (12) package (11), as part of the project.

[53] The packaged food, therefore, in order to compose a complete and balanced meal already ready for ingestion, with their nutritional and functional content (if any) dully specified (printed) (12), will be distributed in appropriate points of sale and will offer to people, mainly in urban centers, a unique self-supporting food system. For the proposed system, the consumer will be offered the possibility to, while driving, working at their office desk, walking or in any situation, after acquiring the package (11), just open it and remove the particles (14), then consuming them in the form of a full meal - breakfast, lunch or dinner with the information about the product printed on it(12) - without any preparation.
