JP2000325019A - Tea drink containing protease - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prepare a new protease-containing tea drink which can be drunk and taken without deteriorating the appearance and palatability of green tea, black tea or oolong tea and without accompanying the consideration of a healthy tea or functional tea. SOLUTION: This method for producing a protease-containing tea drink comprises adding the aqueous solution or its diluted aqueous solution of kinase, a protease produced by Bacillus natto, to a tea drink in a small amount within a range for holding the clarity of the tea drink. When regularly drunk, the enzyme-containing tea drink obtained by the production method results in preventing effects on cerebral thrombosis (cerebral infarction) and cerebral hemorrhage by the thrombolytic action of the kinase.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a novel proteolytic enzyme-containing tea beverage comprising a mixture of a small amount of an aqueous solution of a protease, which is a proteolytic enzyme, in a tea beverage such as green tea, black tea, or oolong tea to be used in daily beverages. Regarding the manufacturing method.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Green tea and oolong tea packed in pull-top cans have become widespread. Unlike other beverages, these tea beverages have their own natural flavors, so they may not be suitable for mixing solutions of other nutrients and flavors, such as soft drinks.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a green tea, black tea, and oolong tea without impairing the appearance and taste.
In addition, the present invention provides a tea beverage containing a proteolytic enzyme that is beneficial to human health and can be consumed without being aware of healthy tea or functional tea.

More specifically, the present inventor who has repeatedly studied cultivation of natto and production of natto for many years has found that kinases among protase, which is a proteolytic enzyme produced by natto, have a thrombolytic effect on blood. The present invention has been conceived to have a blood flow promoting action, and by utilizing its tasteless and odorless base, has completed a tea beverage mixed within a range where the original tea beverage is not turbid.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention relates to an aqueous solution of a kinase, which is a proteolytic enzyme produced by Bacillus natto, or a diluted aqueous solution thereof, which is used in a tea beverage to maintain its clarity. This is a method for producing a tea beverage containing proteolytic enzymes, which is mixed in a small amount with the above.

[0006] In the above-mentioned structure, a method for producing a tea beverage containing proteolytic enzymes is obtained by immersing natto in water, stirring and mixing the aqueous solution of kinase, and then filtering the resulting mixture with a filter.

Further, in the above structure, a method is provided for producing a tea beverage containing proteolytic enzyme, which is obtained by adding an aqueous solution of kinase to Baracas natto, adding about twice the bulk ratio of water, stirring and mixing, and filtering the mixture with a filter. .

[0008]

[Embodiment 1] Ordinary natto is immersed in water, mixed with stirring, and filtered to obtain an aqueous solution (extract) of kinase produced from Bacillus natto. This aqueous solution contains amino acids other than kinase, but separation from them is not particularly necessary. This aqueous solution is a turbid liquid having a white appearance and is almost tasteless and odorless. Next, the oolong tea drink 10
The proteolytic enzyme-containing tea beverage of the present invention is obtained by mixing at a ratio of 8 cc to 0 cc. When the kinase dilution ratio and the mixing ratio with the tea beverage are set, the tea beverage itself does not become turbid, the clarity as tea can be maintained, and there is no change in taste.

[0009]

Embodiment 2 Water having a bulk ratio of about 2 times is added to Baracas natto, mixed with stirring, and then filtered to obtain an aqueous solution (extract) of kinase produced from Bacillus natto. This aqueous solution contains amino acids other than kinase, but separation from them is not particularly necessary. This aqueous solution is a turbid liquid having a white appearance and is almost tasteless and odorless. * Here, Baracas natto refers to natto obtained by immersing oil-extracted soybean meal in water overnight, steaming, inoculating natto bacteria having high protase productivity, and packing in a container. Then, this kinase aqueous solution is mixed as a diluted aqueous solution of kinase in 3 times water as a kinase aqueous solution at a ratio of 7 cc to 100 cc of black tea beverage to obtain a tea beverage containing the proteolytic enzyme of the present invention. When the kinase dilution ratio and the mixing ratio with the tea beverage are set, the tea beverage itself does not become turbid, the clarity as tea can be maintained, and there is no change in taste. In particular, Barakas natto was chosen because it is much more economical than using ordinary natto.

The actual sales form of these embodiments will be provided by a vending machine or the like, packed in a bull-top can or bottle.

[0011]

The present invention has been completed as described above, and does not impair the appearance and taste of original tea beverages such as green tea, black tea, and oolong tea, and particularly, healthy tea and functional tea. You can drink everyday without being aware of it. By dissolving the thrombus of the kinase, which is a proteolytic enzyme produced by Bacillus natto, contained therein, it has the effect of preventing cerebral thrombosis (cerebral infarction) and cerebral hemorrhage and promoting blood flow. As a result, it contributes to reducing mortality from this disease. The means for extracting the kinase is also extremely easy as described above, and particularly when extracted from Baracas natto, the economic efficiency is extremely high.
