Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method of preparing a health food for preventing a child susceptible to atopic dermatitis from developing atopic dermatitis.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Health foods for preventing the onset of atopic dermatitis, which are less likely to be affected by atopic dermatitis when a child who is susceptible to atopic dermatitis eats daily, include rice and milk. Some low-allergen foods have reduced the antigenicity of proteins that cause allergies by changing the protein by hydrolyzing the food, but the manufacturing cost is high and the flavor and taste of the product are significantly impaired. There was.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, a health food having an effect of preventing the onset of atopic dermatitis without hydrolyzing the food to reduce the allergen is produced. There has been a strong view that infants and children eat foods that should be sanitary and sterile, and the addition of live bacteria to foods for children has been avoided, with the exception of some foods such as natto and yogurt. I was Although it was already recognized that yogurt, a food containing lactic acid bacteria, is useful for improving constipation, atopic dermatitis because yogurt may cause allergies due to its high protein content in milk Could not be used for the purpose of prevention.

[0004]

The health food for preventing atopic dermatitis, which is prepared by blending a live extract of Lactobacillus in infant formula milk powder according to claim 1, is a Lactobacillus spp. Cultured, grown and dried alive, approximately 10 to 1 billion Bifidobacteria and 1 to 100 million Acidophilus bacteria per 200 g of commonly used powdered infant milk powder It is a powdered milk for childcare formulated to contain.

The health food for preventing atopic dermatitis produced by blending a live extract of a lactobacillus with a food such as a baby food according to claim 2 is intended to be used in foods for infants such as baby food and other foods. Then, the dried extract of Lactobacillus genus produced in the same manner as above was mixed and mixed so as to contain approximately 10 to 1 billion bifidobacteria and about 1 to 100 million acidophilus for each meal. Health food.

[0006] The health food for preventing atopic dermatitis comprising a dried extract of Lactobacillus for use in the food according to claim 3 is a bifidobacterium, an acidophilus, without limiting the food to be mixed in advance. Lactobacillus genus such as bacteria is artificially cultured and grown, and the number of bifidobacteria is approximately 100.
From 1 billion to 1 billion, and from 1 billion to 1
It is a health food that is dried alive to contain about 100 million pieces and is made into a form such as dry powder or solid. It is effective in preventing atopic dermatitis when ingested in the same manner as a meal. Products made in this way have little impairment of the original taste and flavor of the food, are relatively inexpensive to manufacture, and have been conventionally processed to hydrolyze proteins in foods to reduce allergens. The disadvantages of doing were solved.

[0007]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION A method for carrying out the present invention will be described based on an experiment of using it as a health food for preventing allergies at a dermatology / pediatric clinic where the inventor works. Nishi-Yaizu Child Clinic specializes in the treatment of atopic dermatitis in Yaizu City, Shizuoka Prefecture. As described above, when preparing infant formula for infants under 2 years old, approximately 200 to 1 billion bifidobacteria and 1 billion acidophilus bacteria per 200 g of milk powder were prepared.
Human powdered intestinal bacteria in a dry powder form was added so as to contain about 100 million to 100 million pieces, and the drink was continuously taken every day. Similarly, a live extract of Lactobacillus spp. As described in 2) in the previous section is mixed with foods to be eaten by infants who are expected to develop atopic dermatitis at a high rate based on family history and medical history. I continued to eat. When breastfeeding was carried out, a dry extract of the genus Lactobacillus as described in 3) above was directly attached to the nipple during lactation and given daily. The amount given was such that about 50 billion bifidobacteria and about 5 billion acidophilus bacteria were ingested on a daily basis.

[0008] The human intestinal bacteria used in the experiments were mixed with live lactobacilli having the above-described composition ratio, dried and stored in the form of dry powder, and opened immediately before use. Used in milk or baby food, or applied to mother's nipples during lactation.

[0009]

It has been widely accepted that the greater the number of people in the family who have a history of allergic disease, the higher the probability that the next child will develop the allergic disease. The probability of a child developing an allergic disease is about 40% if one of the parents has experienced an allergic disease, and the probability of a child developing an allergic disease if both parents have an allergic disease It is generally recognized that it is about 50%. The group of children studied in this study included one or more of the parents and siblings who had an allergic disease, and one who had systemic severe eczema lesions early in infancy and had a two-week period. Infants under 2 years of age who did not improve their symptoms with topical therapy including steroids, face head, thoracoabdomen, back hips,
This group consisted of children with bilaterally symmetric eczema lesions on at least two or more of the five upper and lower limb skins. Predicting the future probability of developing atopic dermatitis in this population at 40% or more is well-validated.

[0010] The group of children expected to develop atopic dermatitis with a probability of 40% or more in the future are given the foods of claims 1, 2 and 3 daily by the method described in the embodiment of the invention. In the observation group for more than half a year, only 8.6% of the children in the control group 105 showed symptoms of atopic dermatitis on the skin, and the majority of other children Was able to prevent the onset of atopic dermatitis. According to the present invention, it is possible to produce a food which prevents the development of atopic dermatitis in children without adding a treatment such as hydrolysis to the food. It has already been pointed out that the effects of food on the cause of the development of atopic dermatitis in children have been identified, but no effective solution has been known to date. The present invention has solved the drawbacks of conventional foods for preventing atopic dermatitis, and has made it possible to produce foods that prevent atopic dermatitis at low cost and in large quantities without impairing the flavor and taste of the food. This can be achieved by preventing the development of atopic dermatitis in children, for whom the treatment has not yet been established, before the onset of the disease, including economic effects such as reduction of medical expenses and reduction of drug use, educational effects, and industrial promotion. And health benefits can be expected.
