Abstract:In order to improve the development and utilization of honey and other medicine and food homologous resources, honey, mulberry leaves, Polygonatum odoratum, dried tangerine peel, mulberry and lily were used as raw materials to develop a honey composite concentrated pulp with the efficacy of relieving cough and resolving phlegm. Sensory evaluation taken as the dependent variable, the formula and process were optimized by orthogonal test and response surface test. The antitussive and expectorant activity of the product were evaluated by ammonia-induced cough test and phenol red excretion test in mice. The results showed that the optimal formulation of the honey composite concentrated pulp was 7.0 g of honey, 7.0 g of concentrated pulp, and 3.5 g of concentrated flavored juice, and the optimal process was 3 times of pumping filtration, 60 min of concentration time, and 60 ℃ of concentration temperature. The product can significantly prolong the cough latency of mice, reduce the number of coughs in mice within 2 min, and improve the phenol red excretion ability of mice. The cough inhibition rates of high, medium and low dose groups were respectively 36.18%, 26.63% and 26.38%. The honey composite concentrated pulp has unique flavor, sweet taste, good antitussive and expectorant activity.
