Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a flavored tea containing Moroheiya.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, Moroheiya has attracted attention as a vegetable containing a large amount of vitamins and minerals. Molokheiya is an annual plant belonging to the genus Corchorus of the linden family and is a vegetable that has been served on the dining table since ancient times in the Arab region. Recently, it is cultivated in Japan, but it is rarely eaten alone because of its peculiar sliminess and a little blue smell. It is usually seasoned in other dishes. For this reason, it has not spread widely throughout the country except in some regions.

[0003] Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-236420,
Japanese Patent No. 5757 proposes that Japanese people drink Moroheiya into tea that they drink on a daily basis. These publications disclose a method for producing tea containing Moroheiya, in which tea leaves and Moroheiya are steamed separately, cooled, rubbed while mixing the two, and the components of Moroheiya are uniformly adhered to the surface of the tea leaves.

[0004] The tea containing Moroheiya produced by this method can ingest the components of Moroheiya and tea by daily drinking. However, it is hard to say that the taste is better than that of green tea alone, and it seems that there is resistance to drinking it for a long time on a daily basis, regardless of whether it is taken as a pharmaceutical substitute.

[0005] In addition, the above publication discloses that the tea containing Moroheiya can be eaten as a powder or sprinkled. However, when the present inventor had a large number of men and women sample the prototype, it was unpopular as a food due to lack of taste, and it seems that there is also resistance to ingestion on a daily basis.

[0006]

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems and can be eaten not only for drinking but also for sprinkling and other foods without getting tired for a long period of time. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a flavored tea containing Moroheiya suitable for daily consumption.

[0007]

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention made to solve the above problems is characterized by comprising tea leaf powder, Moroheiya powder, and bonito powder, Is preferably obtained by adding 50 to 150 parts by weight of Moroheiya powder and 5 to 50 parts by weight of bonito powder to 100 parts by weight of tea leaf powder.

[0008]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION As tea leaves, green tea which is easily powdered is suitable. Green tea is an enzyme in which the enzyme (polyphenol oxidase) in the tea leaves is inactivated by heating, and thereby, the components substantially similar to those of the tea leaves and the green appearance are preserved. There are many types of green tea, such as green tea, matcha, and bancha, and any of them can be used in the present invention. Such green tea contains vitamins such as vitamin A, vitamin B ₁ , vitamin B ₂ , vitamin C, and vitamin E, and has a particularly high vitamin C content. Ca, K, M
In addition to minerals such as g and Fe, tannins such as catechin and flavonol are also contained in large amounts. These are said to contribute to maintenance and promotion of health, including prevention of adult diseases.

As described above, Moroheiya contains a large amount of vitamins and minerals. Like green tea, vitamins such as vitamin A, vitamin B ₁ , vitamin B ₂ , vitamin C and vitamin E, Ca, K, It contains minerals such as P and Fe, but has a particularly high content of vitamins B ₁ and B ₂ . It is said that mucin, which causes slimming, promotes the absorption of vitamins and minerals. Although Moroheiya is also used as a powder, it is preferable to boil Moroheiya and dry it in the sun to reduce the slimy feeling by half and to make it powdery. Moroheiya cannot be stored raw, but if powdered in this way, it can be stored throughout the year.

[0010] These tea leaves and Moroheiya are the bases of the product of the present invention. Preferably, 50 to 150 parts by weight of Moroheiya powder is uniformly mixed with 100 parts by weight of tea leaf powder. Outside this mixing range, the advantage of combining tea leaves and Moroheiya will be reduced. However, it is as described above that the taste is poor only by mixing the tea leaves and Moroheiya. Therefore, in the present invention, the powder of bonito is preferably added in the range of 5 to 50 parts by weight. The most preferred mixing ratio is around tea leaves: moloheiya: bonito = 100: 100: 10.

Katsuobushi is a preserved food containing protein as a main component and having excellent umami due to the synergistic effect of inosinic acid and amino acids. Bonito flakes also contain vitamin D, which is poor in tea leaves and moroheiya. Therefore, by adding bonito powder, umami can be added and an effect of supplementing vitamin D can be obtained. In addition, by adding a trace amount of salt, the taste as a whole is further enhanced, and a seasoning that can withstand eating alone becomes possible.

For reference, a nutritional comparison table of various vegetables in addition to tea leaves and Moroheiya is shown in Table 1 below.

[Table 1]

From Table 1 above, it can be seen that various vitamins and various minerals can be taken in a well-balanced manner by combining tea leaves and Moroheiya. Further, by adding the powder of bonito, vitamin D is supplemented and umami is added, so that the food can withstand eating alone. In addition, the calcium content in tea leaves and moroheiya is vitamin D of bonito
By combining with the above, there is also an effect that the absorption efficiency of Ca is enhanced.

[0014] The product of the present invention can be sprinkled on rice as a powder, rice cakes can be eaten as ochazuke, or can be drunk as a drink. You can also make it portable as a tablet,
In that case, it is preferable to use about 3 g to 6 g per day as a guide.

[0015]

[Example] Moroheiya was boiled and dried in the sun to obtain a powder. For 100 parts by weight of matcha, add this Moroheiya powder
100 parts by weight and 10 parts by weight obtained by adding a small amount of salt and the like to bonito powder marketed under the trademark of bonito soup were mixed uniformly. As a result of the tasting, the palatability was very good.

6 g of this powder daily for a 52 year old man with high blood pressure
After eating for two weeks, the blood pressure of 130-90 (mmHg) dropped to 101-75. When a 58-year-old man with high blood pressure ate 6g daily for 2 weeks, a 152-106 (mmH
g) blood pressure dropped to 122-85. Also other high blood pressure 7
When an 8-year-old man ate 6 g daily for two weeks, his blood pressure dropped from 156-90 (mmHg) to 132-83.

6 g of this powder daily for a 28-year-old woman with low blood pressure
After eating for two weeks each, the blood pressure of 90-55 (mmHg) rose to 101-54. When a 49-year-old woman whose neutral fat was 500 mg / dl was eaten 6 g daily for two weeks, it fell to 150 mg / dl.
