Description

  The present invention relates to a granular health food comprising a dried powder of fungus as a main component.

  Mushrooms are mushrooms (fruit bodies) that belong to the atypical basidiomycetes of the basidiomycetes (Coleoptera or Ceramoptera). Generally well known.

  Such a jellyfish is a low-calorie food, and it contains a special balance of nutrients necessary for the body such as protein, calcium, iron, fiber, vitamin D, etc. It is a thing.

  In particular, dietary fiber and vitamin D content is higher in the foods and foods listed in the Japanese Food Standards Analysis Table, as it is ranked 1st to 2nd. When used as a health food or diet food that is greatly useful for aging, for example, it is considered that there is very little adverse effect on the body even when compared to diet food made of konjac.

  Such edible mushrooms (black jellyfish, white jellyfish) are commercially available as dried products that have been dried and have improved storability, and in order to cook them, they are soaked in water until they are softened.

  Black jellyfish that has been softly swollen from a dry state as a cooking ingredient has a crunchy texture, and white jellyfish is agar-flavored, and all of them are palatable, so they can be added to various dishes such as noodles and prepared dishes. However, since the ingredients themselves do not have a very strong taste, they are rarely eaten alone.

  The inventor of the present application disclosed a health food obtained by adding and mixing a binder to a dried powdered powder of jellyfish according to a previous patent application and compressing it into a tablet (Patent Document 1). A health food product in which water-soluble capsules are filled with a powdery body of the above has been disclosed (Patent Document 2).

  Also known as dietary supplements that are low in calories and suitable for dieting, include dry powdered jellyfish powder and powdered dried cypress, root comb, cypress, wakame, mozuku, black sesame, and black rice (Patent Document 3).

Japanese Patent No. 2872635 JP-A-11-113523 JP 2002-300860 A

  However, since the above-mentioned known dry powder of powdered jellyfish is composed of dry, hard and angular particles, it is not easy to mix with and uniformly mix with powders of other components. Even if it can be uniformly mixed temporarily, it is easy to be separated into layers by particle size due to slight vibration. Therefore, to transfer or divide the amount of each component evenly into containers, It was necessary to mix to be homogeneous.

  In addition, the dried powder of powdered jellyfish has a dark brown color, and when trying to color it to a predetermined color that enhances the taste as a food, the surface of the hard and angular powder is efficiently colored. Since it is difficult to adhere so as to be coated, the addition efficiency of the colorant is poor and a large amount of colorant is required.

  When the additive component shown in Patent Document 3 described above is mixed with dried powdered jellyfish, there is no coloring property that changes the color impression of the powdered jellyfish, and even if added as a colorant, the same amount or more as the powdered jellyfish must be added. For example, the color and scent could not be changed sufficiently.

  As described above, it is not easy to color the dried powder of jellyfish using a relatively small amount of coloring components so as to increase the efficiency of adding the colorant and to enhance the palatability. .

  In addition, as described above, the powder mixture is difficult to be blended with other components, so when it is vibrated, it is easy to be separated according to the particle size distribution according to the particle size distribution, and is mixed before filling into the capsule. It was not easy to keep the state homogeneous.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems, and to add to the powdered health food mainly composed of dried powder of powdered jellyfish, it is a bright colored coloring component that increases the preference for powdered jellyfish, and the addition efficiency In the form of a powdered health food or capsule made of a homogeneous powdered composition that is sufficiently colored and that does not separate into layers even when subjected to vibrations before and after filling into the capsule in a mixed state of fungus and coloring components It is supposed to be a granular health food.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, in the present invention, a powdery composition mainly composed of dried powdered jellyfish powder is used, and the particle size is 100 parts by weight of powdered powdered jellyfish having a particle size of 125 to 250 μm. This is a granular health food containing 15 to 35 parts by mass of 1 to 100 μm of matcha tea.

  The powdered health food of the present invention configured as described above is a general-purpose health food that can be added to ordinary foods without a sense of incongruity, and a powdery powdered powdered jellyfish having a particle size of 125 to 250 μm as a main component, It is homogeneous as a composition by blending a predetermined amount of 15 to 35 parts by weight of green tea powder having a particle size smaller than that of the powdered powder of 1 to 100 μm with 100 parts by weight of the powdered powdered jellyfish. Are mixed.

  This powdery granular composition is a small amount of powdered green jellyfish consisting of dry, hard and angular particles, which is effectively added with green tea with a small particle size and relatively soft and brighter than the powdered jellyfish. The powdered green tea can be added to a brownish color that enhances the palatability, and the powdered green tea is entangled with the surface of the jellyfish particles, so it is difficult to separate even if the mixture is vibrated. Become food.

As the above-mentioned matcha with excellent action, it is a matcha having a particle size distribution peak at 3 to 10 μm and 20 to 40 μm.
Usually, the matcha tea having a particle size of 1 to 100 μm has a particle size distribution peak of 3 to 10 μm finely pulverized at a thin portion of the raw tea leaf, and a particle size distribution peak of 20 to 20 pulverized at a thick tea leaf portion or a leaf vein portion. By adopting a material having a thickness of 40 μm, the above preferable result can be surely obtained.

  When forming the composite particles described above, powdered green tea particles with a large particle size and powdered green tea particles with a small particle size enter the surface of the powdered jellyfish with a relatively large particle size, and small particles enter the gaps between the large particles. As a result, the space ratio is reduced and the powdered green tea particles are tightly integrated so that the powdered green tea particles are entangled with the powdered green jellyfish particles.

  Furthermore, when the above-mentioned powdered health food is a granular powder composition, the state of powdered green tea particles with a small particle size and relatively soft powder tea powder can be more stabilized, Separation for each particle size of the mixture can be reliably prevented.

  And the granular health food which consists of a mixture which became the state which it became difficult to isolate | separate stably as mentioned above can be accommodated in a drinking capsule, and can be made into a granular health food with a capsule, and also in the state accommodated in the capsule The powdered green tea and powder of powdered jellyfish are difficult to separate, and powdered powder of jellyfish is efficiently colored in brown to enhance palatability.

  In the present invention, a dry powder of powdered green jellyfish is blended with a predetermined amount of 15 to 35 parts by weight of green tea having a particle size smaller than that of powdered powder of 1 to 100 μm per 100 parts by weight of powdered powdered jellyfish. It can be colored to improve the palatability by efficiently adding a coloring component brighter than the fungus to powdery health foods that contain the main ingredient, and even if the mixture is vibrated before and after filling the capsule, There is an advantage that it becomes a powdered granular health food or a capsuled granular health food that is not separated.

Schematic diagram explaining composite particles consisting of powdered jellyfish and powdered green tea Flow chart of the manufacturing process for explaining the manufacturing method of the embodiment

  The granular health food according to the embodiment of the present invention is composed of a powdered granular composition mainly composed of dried powder of powdered jellyfish, and has a particle size of 1 with respect to 100 parts by mass of powdered powdered fungus having a particle size of 125 to 250 μm. 15 to 35 parts by mass of ~ 100 μm matcha is blended.

  As shown schematically in FIG. 1, dry powder of powdered jellyfish 1 is angular, irregular, and porous with water absorption. Matcha particles 2 that are relatively soft in particle size are easy to adhere, and the powder of matcha particles and powdered jellyfish are easily mixed and familiar.

  The powdered green tea particles 2 having a particle size of 1 to 100 μm have a particle size distribution peak of 3 to 10 μm finely pulverized in a thin portion of the raw tea leaf, and a particle size distribution peak of a thick tea leaf portion or a leaf vein portion. 20 to 40 μm.

  Therefore, powdery green tea particles 2a having a relatively large particle diameter and powdered green tea particles 2b having a relatively small particle diameter are densely placed on the surface of the angular powdered powder of jellyfish 1 so that small powdered tea particles 2b enter the gaps between the large powdered tea particles 2a. The powdered green tea powder 1 is filled and attached to the surface of the powdered green tea particles 2 with different particle sizes so that they entangle with each other. The particles 2 and the powder 1 of the fungus are difficult to separate.

  The fungus used in the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it is a well-known food jellyfish. Examples of such species of jellyfish include Auricularia auricula and other related species such as jellyfish, jellyfish, and jellyfish, or Ryusenpai and tremella fuciformis. Can be mentioned.

  To dry the jellyfish from the raw state, natural (sunlight) drying may be performed by a well-known method, or hot air drying may be forcibly performed. Vitamin D is easily lost in the forced-dried product, but the sun-dried product is not so, and can be said to be a preferable drying method for leaving nutrients.

  Then, the dried jellyfish as described above is pulverized by a roll machine or a pulverizer such as a cutter that rotates at high speed, a jet mill, etc., to obtain powder particles. The particle size of the powdery body may be a particle size that swells quickly in the stomach, but the powdered powdered mushroom powder having a particle size of 125 to 250 μm is used to produce a homogeneous mixture with matcha tea. Suitable particle size.

  Such particle size is prepared by classifying the size of the jellyfish pulverized by a pulverizer using a sieve or the like so as to adjust the particle size range to about 80 to 85 mesh. Thus, the mixed state with matcha can be stabilized, and a powdered health food with stable quality can be obtained.

  Matcha used in this invention is made from the relatively young and soft tea leaves of Ichibancha or Nibancha, which are dried almost without stumbling in the sencha production process, and then crushed or classified with a stone mill or a well-known mill. It is. In particular, it is possible to adopt a material having a particle size distribution peak of 3 to 10 μm finely pulverized at a thin portion of the raw tea leaf and a particle size distribution peak of 20 to 40 μm crushed from a thick tea leaf portion or a leaf portion. It is preferable for carrying out efficient blending with the powdered jellyfish.

Incidentally, since it is 30 μm or more that the human tongue feels “grainy” in the powder, the standard average particle size of high-quality drinking matcha is about 10 to 20 μm. Usually, a stone mortar, ball mill, The particle size distribution area of drinking matcha crushed with a hammer mill or the like is 1 to 100 μm,
Matched tea used in the invention of the present application can obtain preferable results by using powders having a particle size distribution peak of 3 to 10 μm and 20 to 40 μm.

  In order to obtain a homogeneous mixed powder that is difficult to separate, it is difficult to separate 15 to 35 parts by mass of the above-mentioned matcha tea with a particle diameter of 1 to 100 μm with respect to 100 parts by mass of the powdery powdered jellyfish powder with a particle diameter of 125 to 250 μm. Is preferable.

  If the amount of Matcha is less than 15 parts by mass, the surface of the powdered powder of powdered jellyfish cannot be sufficiently covered with powdered green tea, which is not preferable because it is easily separated by vibration, and more than 35 parts by mass. This is because when blended, powdered green tea more than necessary to cover the powder of powdered jellyfish exists, and on the contrary, it is not preferable because it is easily separated by vibration.

  Because of this tendency and bright brownish brown jellyfish, the addition efficiency is good, and it is sufficiently colored to enhance palatability, so 20-30 parts by mass of green tea is blended with 100 parts by mass of powdered jellyfish. It is preferable that the blending amount of Matcha is more preferably 23 to 27 parts by mass.

  In order to stabilize the powdered green tea coating on the powdered jellyfish powder and improve the properties that are more difficult to separate against vibration, the powdered health food is a granular powdered composition. More preferably.

A granular composition or a granular granular health food can be eaten as a health food by squeezing it with a bowl, swallowing it with water, etc., or chewing it appropriately.
Moreover, the powdered granular health food obtained by accommodating the above granular health food in a drinking capsule can also be eaten by taking it with food and drink.

  The drinking capsule used in the present invention may be made of a material that is water-soluble to the extent that it dissolves or disintegrates in the human stomach and is harmless to the human body. Its shape (spherical, elliptical spherical, cylindrical, etc.) and dimensions can be used without any particular limitation.

  For example, vegetable hard capsules are less likely to react with vitamin C contained in green tea than gelatin capsules, and are therefore preferably employed as drinking capsules of the present invention. For example, they are commercially available as capsules filled with health foods. HPMC capsules (produced by Qualicaps: Quali-VN capsules) made of plant-derived hydroxymethylpropylcellulose may also be used. Moreover, it can also be used as a soft capsule which increased plasticity by adding glycerin, sorbitol, etc. to drinking capsules, such as such a vegetable hard capsule.

  As described above, the health food in which the capsules are filled with the dried powder of powdered jellyfish or the granular powder composition is suitable in consideration of the age and weight of the person who eats, and the food habits of the individual. The quantity may be swallowed with water before meals.

  When taken in this way, the capsule melts and disintegrates in the stomach, and the contents of the low-calorie fungus and matcha are quickly exposed, and this absorbs water and the powder of the fungus is about 8 to 10 times that at the time of drying. Since it swells up, it is easy to feel full and it is possible to reduce or limit the calorie intake from meals.

  Also, the jellyfish (particularly black jellyfish and white jellyfish) contains vitamin D together with calcium in an extremely large amount of 16000 IU (1 IU is 0.026 micrograms). Can take calcium efficiently.

  Vitamin D is a component involved in the formation of bone, promotes calcium absorption from the intestine, and functions to regulate the amount of calcium dissolved from the bone. For this reason, if vitamin D is taken so as not to be deficient, it will help prevent osteoporosis, and it is also possible to prevent diabetes and prevent hormones by ingesting an appropriate amount of jellyfish from the leading theories of hormone researchers involved in vitamin D metabolism. It is thought to be useful for adjusting the balance.

  Matcha is a health food with a high content of polyphenols, vitamin C, catechin, caffeine, dietary fiber, amino acids, minerals, etc., and is also recognized as an antioxidant and fatigue recovery. When taken together, it can be expected to improve fatigue and immune function, so it is not only a dietary health food but also a healthy food for the elderly.

[Example]
According to the manufacturing process of the flow chart shown in FIG. 2, the dried jellyfish thoroughly washed with drinking water is pulverized to an average particle diameter of about 1 mm (first time) using a roll-type pulverizer, and further reduced to about 0.2 mm. The powder was pulverized in stages (second time), sterilized by heating, and classified with 85 mesh (aperture of about 170 μm) to obtain powder of the main raw material jellyfish.

  On the other hand, as a matcha tea as another raw material, a commercially available matcha tea is used, and the particle size is 1 to 100 μm, the average particle size is 5.8 μm, and the particle size distribution peaks are about 4 μm and 22 μm. It was measured by a dry method with a laser diffraction particle size distribution measuring device.

  Then, 100 parts by mass of powdery powdered powdered jellyfish powder was mixed uniformly with 25 parts by mass of matcha tea using a mixer to produce 1 kg of granular health food.

The obtained powdered health food was subjected to the following vibration test in order to confirm whether it was not separated by vibration before filling into a capsule or the like in a mixed state of the powdered powdered powder and powdered components.
That is, in a state in which about 10 ml of granular health food is contained in a test tube, it is vibrated at an amplitude of 5 mm in the horizontal direction 5 times per second using a handy type small vibration tester for each test tube stand, and after 2 minutes. The stratified state in the test tube was observed.
As a result, a separation state in which stratification was performed for each particle size of the powder particles was not recognized, and a homogeneous mixed state was maintained as the composition.

  Next, this granular health food is granulated with a hydrous alcohol using a fluidized bed granulator, further dried at high temperature, and sized to obtain a granular health food with an average particle size of about 2 mm. A food was produced, and this was filled into a HPMC capsule, which is a commercially available vegetable hard capsule having an internal volume of 350 mg, to produce a powdered granular health food with capsules.

  In addition, 8 to 10 capsules of the obtained granular health foods were taken with 200 cc of water 30 minutes before meals for 5 adult men and women. It was a health food with a low calorie and expected diet effect.

[Comparative example]
In Examples, a powdery mixture was produced in exactly the same manner except that wheat flour having an average particle size of about 25 μm was used in place of matcha tea.
When the obtained granular mixture was subjected to a vibration test in exactly the same manner as the vibration condition, the wheat flour and the fungus powder were separated so as to be almost stratified by vibration, resulting in a heterogeneous mixture.
