（1） Nutritional Composition Unveiled
?

?
甜菜汁營(yíng)養(yǎng)豐富，含多種對(duì)人體健康重要的成分。其一為硝酸鹽，多數(shù)常見(jiàn)蔬菜硝酸鹽含量中等（100 - 1000mg/kg），甜菜根含量較高（＞1000mg/kg） ，它在人體內(nèi)能轉(zhuǎn)化為一氧化氮，可擴(kuò)張血管、調(diào)節(jié)心血管功能。其二是豐富的維生素，如維 C 能抗氧化、增強(qiáng)免疫力，維 E 也有抗氧化作用，保護(hù)細(xì)胞延緩衰老，β - 胡蘿卜素能轉(zhuǎn)化為維 A，維護(hù)眼睛健康。其三在礦物質(zhì)上，富含鉀、鎂、鐵等。鉀維持電解質(zhì)平衡、調(diào)節(jié)心臟節(jié)律、助力肌肉收縮；鎂參與多種酶活動(dòng)，關(guān)乎骨骼和神經(jīng)系統(tǒng)健康；鐵是制造血紅蛋白原料，可預(yù)防缺鐵性貧血。?

（二）潛在功效引人關(guān)注?

（2） Potential benefits attract attention
?

?
甜菜汁因獨(dú)特營(yíng)養(yǎng)成分有諸多潛在功效，具備開(kāi)發(fā)成飲料的巨大價(jià)值。?

Beet juice has many potential benefits due to its unique nutritional components, and has enormous value for development into beverages. ?
在提升運(yùn)動(dòng)表現(xiàn)上，多項(xiàng)研究表明補(bǔ)充甜菜汁有助于提高運(yùn)動(dòng)耐力和反應(yīng)能力。2024 年《營(yíng)養(yǎng)學(xué)前沿》研究顯示，甜菜根汁在提高運(yùn)動(dòng)相關(guān)結(jié)果上優(yōu)于硝酸鹽補(bǔ)充劑，因其中多酚等成分能與硝酸鹽協(xié)同減少細(xì)胞損傷，比如長(zhǎng)跑運(yùn)動(dòng)員飲用后能更輕松保持速度、減少疲勞、突破極限。?

運(yùn)動(dòng)后恢復(fù)方面，2021 年《膳食補(bǔ)充劑雜志》一項(xiàng)納入 6 項(xiàng)人體干預(yù)實(shí)驗(yàn)的薈萃分析發(fā)現(xiàn)，甜菜根汁能減輕運(yùn)動(dòng)誘導(dǎo)的肌肉損傷，加速肌肉功能恢復(fù)，減少肌肉酸痛，助身體快速恢復(fù)。?

In terms of post exercise recovery, a meta-analysis of six human intervention experiments included in the 2021 Journal of Dietary Supplements found that beetroot juice can alleviate exercise induced muscle damage, accelerate muscle function recovery, reduce muscle soreness, and help the body recover quickly. ?
甜菜汁含硝酸鹽，轉(zhuǎn)化為一氧化氮后可擴(kuò)張血管，改善血液循環(huán)，預(yù)防心血管疾病，降低心臟病發(fā)作和中風(fēng)風(fēng)險(xiǎn)，維護(hù)心血管系統(tǒng)健康。?

Beet juice contains nitrate, which can be converted into nitric oxide to dilate blood vessels, improve blood circulation, prevent cardiovascular disease, reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke, and maintain cardiovascular health. ?
二、甜菜汁飲料配方探索?

2、 Exploration of sugar beet juice beverage formula
（一）單一甜菜汁飲料配方?

（1） Single sugar beet juice beverage formula
?

?
在單一甜菜汁飲料配方設(shè)計(jì)中，要保留其原汁原味，還需優(yōu)化口感、穩(wěn)定性等。以一款甜菜汁運(yùn)動(dòng)飲料為例，它的配方經(jīng)過(guò)精心調(diào)配。?

In the design of a single sugar beet juice beverage formula, it is necessary to preserve its original flavor and optimize its taste, stability, and other aspects. Taking a sugar beet juice sports drink as an example, its formula has been carefully formulated. ?
配方中，甜菜汁含量 2.8%，是核心成分，能提供營(yíng)養(yǎng)與獨(dú)特風(fēng)味。CMC - Na 添加量 0.1%，起增稠和穩(wěn)定作用，防止成分分層。食鹽添加量 0.1%，調(diào)節(jié)口味、補(bǔ)充電解質(zhì)。檸檬酸添加量 0.07%，調(diào)節(jié)酸度、抗氧化、延長(zhǎng)保質(zhì)期。白砂糖添加量 3.46%，葡萄糖添加量 0.87%，調(diào)整甜度、補(bǔ)充能量。β - 環(huán)糊精添加量 0.15%，包埋異味、改善風(fēng)味?？箟难崽砑恿?0.07%，抗氧化、保持營(yíng)養(yǎng)價(jià)值。?

該配方設(shè)計(jì)讓甜菜汁運(yùn)動(dòng)飲料口感好、組織穩(wěn)定，理化和微生物指標(biāo)符合要求，為消費(fèi)者提供健康美味的運(yùn)動(dòng)飲品選擇。?

This formula design ensures that the sugar beet juice sports drink has a good taste, stable structure, and meets the requirements for physical, chemical, and microbiological indicators, providing consumers with a healthy and delicious choice of sports drinks. ?
（二）復(fù)合甜菜汁飲料配方?

（2） Compound beet juice beverage formula
?

?
為拓展甜菜汁飲料風(fēng)味與功能，復(fù)合甜菜汁飲料成重要研發(fā)方向。將甜菜汁與其他果蔬、成分復(fù)合，可優(yōu)勢(shì)互補(bǔ)，創(chuàng)造獨(dú)特口感與豐富營(yíng)養(yǎng)。?

To expand the flavor and functionality of beet juice beverages, composite beet juice beverages have become an important research and development direction. Combining beet juice with other fruits, vegetables, and ingredients can complement each other's strengths, creating a unique taste and rich nutrition. ?
以玉米活性肽甜菜汁復(fù)合飲料為例，其最佳工藝配方為：甜菜與水榨汁比例 1︰8，玉米活性肽添加量 4.0%，蜂蜜添加量 1.4%，檸檬酸添加量 0.12%，CMC - Na 添加量 0.14%。各成分分別有提取營(yíng)養(yǎng)、提升保健功能、增甜增風(fēng)味、調(diào)節(jié)酸度、穩(wěn)定體系的作用。?

該復(fù)合飲料優(yōu)勢(shì)明顯，口感上，玉米活性肽微咸、甜菜汁清甜與蜂蜜香甜融合，帶來(lái)全新味覺(jué)體驗(yàn)；營(yíng)養(yǎng)上，甜菜汁、玉米活性肽與蜂蜜營(yíng)養(yǎng)成分結(jié)合，營(yíng)養(yǎng)更全面，能滿足消費(fèi)者健康與營(yíng)養(yǎng)多重需求。?

This composite beverage has obvious advantages. In terms of taste, it combines slightly salty corn active peptides, sweet beet juice, and honey sweetness, bringing a new taste experience; Nutritionally, the combination of sugar beet juice, corn active peptides, and honey provides a more comprehensive nutritional profile, meeting the multiple health and nutritional needs of consumers. ?
三、技術(shù)研發(fā)重點(diǎn)難點(diǎn)?

3、 Key and difficult points in technology research and development
（一）提取工藝的挑戰(zhàn)?

（1） The Challenge of Extraction Technology
?

?
從甜菜中提取汁液看似簡(jiǎn)單，實(shí)則挑戰(zhàn)重重。一方面，甜菜細(xì)胞壁結(jié)構(gòu)復(fù)雜，傳統(tǒng)壓榨提取效率低，難以滿足大規(guī)模工業(yè)化生產(chǎn)需求，且提取時(shí)需兼顧保留營(yíng)養(yǎng)成分，高溫提取易破壞熱敏性營(yíng)養(yǎng)成分。?

Extracting juice from sugar beets may seem simple, but in reality, it presents numerous challenges. On the one hand, the cell wall structure of sugar beets is complex, and traditional pressing extraction has low efficiency, making it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale industrial production. In addition, during extraction, it is necessary to balance the retention of nutrients, and high-temperature extraction can easily destroy thermosensitive nutrients. ?
為此，科研人員探索新提取技術(shù)，如酶解法，通過(guò)添加特定酶分解細(xì)胞壁提高提取率，還能保留營(yíng)養(yǎng)；部分企業(yè)采用低溫壓榨結(jié)合超聲波輔助提取技術(shù)，減少營(yíng)養(yǎng)損失并提高效率。?

To this end, researchers are exploring new extraction techniques, such as enzymatic hydrolysis, which can improve extraction rates by adding specific enzymes to break down cell walls while also preserving nutrients; Some enterprises adopt low-temperature pressing combined with ultrasonic assisted extraction technology to reduce nutrient loss and improve efficiency. ?
在質(zhì)量控制上，因甜菜品種、種植環(huán)境等不同，汁液成分和品質(zhì)有差異，需建立嚴(yán)格質(zhì)量控制體系，篩選檢測(cè)原料，通過(guò)檢測(cè)指標(biāo)分級(jí)，根據(jù)等級(jí)制定提取工藝參數(shù)，保證產(chǎn)品質(zhì)量一致性。?

In terms of quality control, due to differences in sugar beet varieties, planting environments, etc., there are differences in juice composition and quality. It is necessary to establish a strict quality control system, screen and test raw materials, classify them according to testing indicators, and develop extraction process parameters based on grades to ensure product quality consistency. ?
（二）穩(wěn)定性難題攻克?

（2） Overcoming stability challenges
?

?
甜菜汁在儲(chǔ)存和加工時(shí)，穩(wěn)定性是關(guān)鍵問(wèn)題。一是其含有的天然抗氧化物質(zhì)易被氧化，像多酚類物質(zhì)與氧氣反應(yīng)會(huì)讓色澤、口感、營(yíng)養(yǎng)價(jià)值下降；二是因富含營(yíng)養(yǎng)，衛(wèi)生條件控制不當(dāng)易受微生物污染，影響安全性；三是大分子物質(zhì)在重力作用下聚集沉淀，影響外觀和口感。?

為解決這些問(wèn)題，科研人員采取多種技術(shù)手段?？寡趸矫?，添加天然抗氧化劑或采用真空、充氮包裝；控制微生物污染方面，加強(qiáng)原料清洗、消毒和儲(chǔ)存管理，用殺菌技術(shù)并添加防腐劑；防止沉淀方面，用離心、過(guò)濾去除固體顆粒，或添加穩(wěn)定劑。?

（三）風(fēng)味調(diào)整技術(shù)?

（3） Flavor adjustment technology
?

?
甜菜汁風(fēng)味獨(dú)特，部分消費(fèi)者難以接受，所以風(fēng)味調(diào)整技術(shù)很關(guān)鍵。其帶有土腥味和苦澀味，源于所含揮發(fā)性物質(zhì)和生物堿等。?

Beet juice has a unique flavor that some consumers find difficult to accept, so flavor adjustment techniques are crucial. It has a earthy and bitter taste, originating from the volatile substances and alkaloids it contains. ?
去除異味、優(yōu)化口感，一方面可添加其他成分調(diào)配風(fēng)味，像加蘋(píng)果汁、橙汁等水果汁，能掩蓋異味并增風(fēng)味層次，加蜂蜜、糖漿等甜味劑可調(diào)整甜度；另一方面可采用特殊工藝，如利用 β - 環(huán)糊精包埋異味成分，或通過(guò)發(fā)酵工藝，借微生物代謝改變成分，產(chǎn)生新風(fēng)味物質(zhì)，豐富口感。?

四、市場(chǎng)展望?

4、 Market outlook

In terms of market size, the global market for red beet juice concentrate was approximately 250 million US dollars in 2019, and is expected to reach around 450 million US dollars by 2027, with a compound annual growth rate of 6.8%. The growth potential is enormous, and the scale is expected to continue to expand in the coming years. ?
總之，未來(lái)飲料市場(chǎng)中，甜菜汁飲料將憑獨(dú)特優(yōu)勢(shì)占據(jù)重要地位，成新增長(zhǎng)點(diǎn)，單一或復(fù)合甜菜汁飲料都將迎來(lái)更多發(fā)展機(jī)遇，為消費(fèi)者提供更多健康美味選擇。?

In short, in the future beverage market, beet juice drinks will occupy an important position with unique advantages and become a new growth point. Both single or compound beet juice drinks will usher in more development opportunities, providing consumers with more healthy and delicious choices. ?
