PROCESS AND PRODUCTION OF A FATTY FOOD OIL

CONTAINING CHLORELLA ALGAE

  The present invention relates to a food product in the form of a fatty oil, containing in stable form active ingredients derived from algae of the chlorella genus, fungi and tonic medicinal plants, and a process for obtaining

of the product.

  We know that chlorella is one of the monocellular algae that grows in fresh water, and it contains proteins in large quantities; moreover, she

  promotes the growth of animals or micro-

  organisms, it flavors food and

  removes foreign odors from them; in by-

  particular, a chlorella algae extract in hot water has a wide range of applications, because it presents

  growth promoting and aromatic properties

health; it is liquid.

  Various products using chlorella algae have been traditionally developed, taking into account the possibilities of using these algae.

  chlorella Mention may be made, as examples, of

  tifs of the products obtained by mixing a dry powder of chlorella algae and a garlic powder, then molding the mixture to obtain a tablet, noodles and treated marine products containing an extract in hot water from chlorella algae used as a flavoring component and quality improving agent during production; dietetic products must be added, which are obtained by incorporating a dry powder or an extract in hot water of chlorella algae in edible fatty vegetable oils, and by encapsulating the product obtained in a gelatin capsule. products using chlorella algae find

many applications.

  As described above, the various chlorella products have been traditionally developed taking into account the active ingredients of chlorella algae. However, in many cases, the previous products containing chlorella algae present processing problems during their production. and suffer from a drawback that the active ingredients in chlorella algae are not necessarily retained in a stable manner More precisely, and although the usefulness of chlorella algae has been confirmed by tests and research, there are a problem that when the active ingredients are used to give a product, it is difficult to keep the active ingredients in a stable manner Plus

  specifically, when preparing a dietary product

  tetic using chlorella algae in combination with other raw materials of a medicinal nature, it is important to retain in a stable and effective way the medicinal active ingredients of the various raw materials, but the products of the prior art suffer from a problem , according to which the active medicinal ingredients are not, in

  many cases, retained in a stable and effective manner.

  The inventors of the present invention have carried out in-depth studies to develop a health product using chlorella algae in which the active ingredients of chlorella algae,

  as well as other starting materials of a medical nature.

  nal are retained in a stable state, and they thus found that this object could be achieved by using a dry powder of a clathrate mixture obtained by adding a concentrated exudate of an extract in the hot water of chlorella algae to a clathrate, operation followed by their mixing and drying, and a dry powder of a clathrate mixture resulting from the addition of a concentrated exudate of an extract in water hot mushrooms to a clathrate, followed by mixing and drying, then adding the

  dry powder with one or more edible fatty oils

  Then we mix or disperse until homogeneous, and we encapsulate in a soft capsule This is how

  the present invention has been accomplished.

  The object of the present invention is therefore to provide a process for the production of a food product in the form of a fatty oil, containing chlorella algae, in which active substances of chlorella algae are retained in a stable manner. , from

  tonic herbal and medicinal plants.

  The object of the invention is also to provide a food product in the form of a fatty oil containing chlorella algae, which contains a edible fatty oil in a large quantity, and even active substances of chlorella algae, of fungi.

  and medicinal plants, retained in a stable manner.

  The object of the present invention is also to provide a food product in the form of a fatty oil containing chlorella algae,

  can be used as a cooking product.

  To achieve these objects according to the invention, there is provided: 1 A process for the production of a food product containing chlorella algae, comprising the steps consisting in homogeneously mixing a dry powder of a clathrate mixture obtained by addition a concentrated exudate of an extract in hot water of chlorella algae to a clathrate, operation followed by their mixing and drying, and a dry powder of a clathrate mixture resulting from the addition of a concentrated exudate from an extract in hot water of mushrooms to a clathrate, operation followed by mixing and drying the latter and an exudate or dry powder of a tonic medicinal plant, with a fatty oil edible which may contain lecithin, vitamin E and the like which may be optionally added thereto, the process ending with the encapsulation, in a soft capsule, of the

oily suspension obtained.

  7 A food product containing chlorella algae, obtained by homogeneous mixture of a dry powder of a clathrate mixture obtained from the addition of a concentrated exudate of an extract in hot water of chlorella algae to a clathrate, operation followed by their mixing and drying, and a dry powder of a clathrate mixture resulting from the addition of a concentrated exudate of an extract in hot water from mushrooms to a clathrate, operation followed of their mixture and of their drying, and of an exudate or dry powder of a tonic medicinal plant, with an edible fatty oil which may contain lecithin, vitamin E and the like which have been optionally added thereto, operation followed by an encapsulation, in a capsule

  soft, of the oily suspension obtained.

  The process for producing a food product in the form of a fatty oil containing chlorella algae according to the present invention has the advantage of being able to give a product containing the active ingredients of chlorella algae, fungi and tonic medicinal plants which are present therein. are retained in a stable manner, and which, moreover, exhibit an excellent suitability for the conservation of each active ingredient. Furthermore, the product of the present invention has a particular effect: the soft capsule cannot be swollen, even if it contains an exudate from a tonic medicinal plant having a relatively high moisture content, since it contains a large amount of an edible fatty oil having a cholesterol reducing effect, and each of the constituents is dispersed

in a homogeneous way.

  The food product in the form of a fatty oil containing chlorella algae of the present invention can be consumed as it is, not only as a health product, but also used as a cooking product for oily food products, such as fried vegetables. it can also be used for camping or

  similar, due to its portable nature.

  In particular, the food product in the form of a fatty oil containing chlorella algae of the present invention has the advantage of a particular effect which the products of the prior art do not have: the active ingredients of chlorella algae and fungi can be kept on

  long periods in a stable and efficient manner.

  In the present invention, an edible fatty oil is used in a relatively large amount in terms of a concentrated exudate of an extract in hot water of chlorella algae, a concentrated exudate of an extract in l hot water from mushrooms or from an exudate or dry powder of tonic medicinal plants, so that the soft capsule cannot be subjected to any change such as swelling and dissolution under the effect of moisture present in the active ingredients, which include substances like chlorella algae, mushrooms and tonic medicinal plants, and the product can be used for cooking and in particular for frying In addition, the homogeneous mixture of materials containing the materials active in edible fatty oil helps prevent swelling and breakage

of the soft capsule.

  In the present invention, the hot water extract of chlorella algae can be an extract which is obtained by subjecting an aqueous suspension of fresh chlorella algae, obtained from a large culture to the air. free by optical synthesis, heat treatment at a temperature of about 80 to

    C for 20 minutes, operation followed by the fraction-

  algae Fresh chlorella algae represent

  sentative are the single-cell algae that grow in fresh water, such as chlorella pyrenoidosa, chlorella vulgaris, chlorella ellipsoidea, and Senedesmus Extract

  in hot water of chlorella algae contains poly-

  effective saccharides, such as N-1,3-glucan and acid rhamnane Or alternatively, the extract in hot water of chlorella algae can be an extract produced by adding and mixing water with an algae powder chlorella synthesized by optical synthesis, in an amount approximately four times greater than that of the powder, this operation being followed by a heat treatment of the mixture at a temperature of 50 to 120 C for approximately one hour or more, then a slow extraction processing, and extracts can be used

suitable in hot water.

  The hot water extract of mushrooms can be an extract in hot water of a mushroom body, dry mushrooms or mushroom body powder. For example, a suitable extract in hot water can be used. , as produced by adding and mixing water to a mushroom body powder in an amount four times greater than that of the powder, the mixture then being subjected to a heat treatment at a temperature of 45 to 1200 C for a long period of time, preferably 5 to 7 hours The term "mushrooms" is understood to mean the following mushrooms: polypore, kawaratake, shiitake and other edible mushrooms. The tonic medicinal plant used can be any of the medicinal plants having a tonic nutritive effect, but in particular, garlic, ginseng, aloe, ume (Japanese apricot), thorny plants of the family are preferred. aradiaceae and larvae The tonic medicinal plant can be used in the form of exudate or dry powder. The term “exudate” is understood here to mean leached liquids obtained by leaching of tonic medicinal plants by a conventional process, as well as the exudates in suspension resulting from grinding in a colloid mill, and the expression "dry powder" refers to the powder obtained from an appropriate preliminary treatment of plants, treatment followed by drying with hot air, lyophilization and spray drying, or those obtained by

  drying exudates in a usual manner.

  Each of the hot water extracts of chlorella algae and fungi is, independently of the others, concentrated to give a concentrated exudate suspended in a concentrator, and each of the exudates is then mixed in a mixer with a clathrate

  to form a clathrate mixture It is preferred that the me-

  lange clathrate be used in a sprayed form

  naked by drying in a dryer until a

  defined humidity, operation followed by spraying.

  It is also preferred that the tonic medicinal plant is used in the form of a suspended exudate obtained by grinding each plant, or its exudate powder, in the presence or in the absence of

  vitamin E in a colloid mill.

  Edible oils that can be used include peanut oil, sesame oil, wheat germ oil, rapeseed oil, soybean oil, copra oil, safflower, beeswax and other edible fatty oils These

  oils can be used alone or in combination.

  When the edible oils are used in combination, it is preferred to use them in the form of an emulsified material in the oil, obtained by heating and mixing the starting edible oils, then optional addition of heated and dissolved soy lecithin,

  then stirring and mixing in a mixer-homogenized

  sator, and its cooling to room temperature.

  To mix products evenly

  containing active ingredients, based on chlorel algae

  tonic, mushroom and herbal medicine, edible fatty oil, each dry powder of the clathrate mixture described above, the exudate or dry powder of the tonic medicinal plant and edible fatty oil can be stirred until '' homogeneous and mixed in a mixer The order of mixing

  different starting components is not particular-

  limited, but, when the product containing the active ingredients and derived from the tonic medicinal plant is an exudate, it is preferred that the latter is mixed in a homogeneous manner with edible fatty oil, then that each dry powder of the clathrate mixture is mixed in a homogeneous manner with the suspension obtained in the oil Furthermore, when the product containing the active ingredient, derived from the tonic medicinal plant, is a dry powder, it is preferred that the latter be mixed with the dry powder of the clathrate mixture, the mixture obtained then being mixed in a manner

  homogeneous with edible fatty oil.

  The starting mixture thus obtained is then passed through a strainer having an appropriate mesh opening and degassed in a deaerator, then the mixture obtained is encapsulated in a soft capsule,

  for example a soft gelatin capsule.

  When the exudate of the tonic medicinal plant is a leached liquid, it can also be used in the form of a spray-dried product, but this is expensive since there is too much water in the liquid. Leached Consequently, it is preferred that, the dry powders of chlorella algae and / or of tonic medicinal plants having been added or not, the leached liquid is adsorbed by an edible powder such as lactose, starch or the like, the product obtained being reduced to powder Edible powder, such as lactose, starch or the like, is suitably used to absorb water into the leached liquid, so as not to cause any undesirable repercussions on the soft capsule, rather than serving only filler and excipient,

  as in the prior art.

  It should be noted that the proportion of each material containing active ingredients based on chlorella algae, fungi and tonic medicinal plants, compared to fatty oil

  edible, is not particularly limited.

  The present invention will now be described.

  in more detail using the examples.

Example 1

  300 l of water were mixed with 30 kg of a chlorella powder obtained by optical synthesis, and the mixture was subjected to an extraction of the active ingredients in a hot water extractor Then the extract obtained was concentrated approximately 20 times in a concentrator, for

  give concentrated exudate in suspension.

  In addition, 400 l of water were mixed with 25 kg of dry kawaratake, and the mixture obtained was subjected to an extraction of the active ingredients in a hot water extractor. The extract obtained was concentrated approximately 20 times in a concentrator. to give concentrated exudate in suspension. It was added to each of these concentrated exudates 4.5 kg of cyclodextrin clathrate, and the mixture obtained

  been subjected to a mixture of clathration in a mixer.

  Then the mixture was dried in a dryer and sprayed in a sprayer to give a mixed starting exudate. A mixture of 8.5 kg of dry ginseng powder and 8.5 kg of an odorless garlic exudate powder was ground with 15 kg of a natural vitamin E oil in a colloid mill to give 32 kg of a material of

departure suspended.

  The various starting materials produced in the above manner were added to 210 kg of peanut oil containing 15 kg of soy lecithin, and the resulting mixture was stirred and mixed to give a material to be encapsulated. The suspension in the oil thus obtained was encapsulated to give a soft gelatin capsule, so as to lead to an encapsulated product.

Example 2

  300 l of water were mixed with 30 kg of a chlorella powder obtained by optical synthesis, and the mixture was subjected to an extraction of the active ingredients in a hot water extractor Then the extract obtained was concentrated approximately 20 times in a concentrator, for

  give concentrated exudate in suspension.

  Furthermore, 400 l of water were mixed with 25 kg of dry shiitake, and the mixture obtained was subjected to an extraction of the active ingredients in a hot water extractor. The extract obtained was concentrated approximately 20 times in a concentrator. to give concentrated exudate in suspension. To each of these concentrated exudates was added 4.5 kg of cyclodextrin clathrate, and the mixture obtained

  been subjected to a mixture of clathration in a mixer.

  Then the mixture was dried in a dryer and sprayed in a sprayer to give an exudate

mixed starting.

  A mixture of 9.5 kg of garlic exudate and 9.5 kg of larmilla exudate powder was ground with 20 kg of natural vitamin E oil in a colloid mill to give 39 kg of a suspended starting exudate. The various starting materials produced in the above manner were mixed with an oil emulsified product resulting from the addition of soy lecithin to a heated mixture of sesame oil and peanut oil to give a homogeneous mixture, which was then degassed in a deaerator The suspension in the oil thus obtained was encapsulated to give a soft gelatin capsule, so as to

lead to an encapsulated product.
