However, among these crude drug materials, vitamins and minerals having an unpleasant odor, the unpleasant odor hinders use in foods.

[0003] The unpleasant odor here means a herbal medicine material, vitamins or minerals (hereinafter simply referred to as health materials) having an unpleasant odor, that is, hydrocarbon compounds, alcohol compounds, ether compounds, It refers to the peculiar unpleasant odor and taste caused by organic compounds such as carboxylic acid compounds, fatty acid compounds, terpene compounds, aromatic compounds, lactones, and furan derivatives, and other inorganic salts. More specifically, volatile odors such as alcohol compounds, sulfur odors such as sulfides and ammonia, irritating odors such as acetaldehyde, formic acid, propionic acid,
It refers to putrefaction odor of butyric acid, etc., blue odor of chlorophylls, isothiocyanates, etc., bitterness of alkaloids, saponins, etc., and bitterness of calcium, magnesium inorganic salts and the like.

[0004] In order to prevent such unpleasant odors and to improve the flavor of foods containing health materials, it has been proposed to add various taste improvers and deodorants. However, even when various known taste improvers such as cyclodextrin and sucrose and deodorants were added, a satisfactory effect of suppressing unpleasant odor was not obtained.

On the other hand, as a new deodorant for food use,
JP-A-10-151182 discloses an extract derived from sugar cane, that is, a fraction obtained by treating sugar cane juice and molasses derived from sugar cane by column chromatography. This product is known to have an excellent masking effect on fish odor and the like.
No. 16 also discloses the effect of reducing the odor of vegetables and beans.

[0006] However, these publications do not disclose anything about reducing the unpleasant odor of the above-mentioned health materials and the like.

[0007] As a method for suppressing the unpleasant odor of health foods containing health ingredients, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-110708 discloses that a specific amount of stevia is added to the bitterness of a nourishing tonic crude drug and the poor feeling of taking it.

In the present invention, the “sugar-derived extract” is defined as a fraction obtained by subjecting raw materials selected from cane juice, a cane-derived solvent extract, and cane-derived molasses to column chromatography. Say. As a more specific example, a component selected from sugar cane juice, a solvent extract of cane sugar, and molasses derived from cane sugar is passed through a column filled with a synthetic adsorbent as a fixed carrier, and the component adsorbed on the synthetic adsorbent is used. Is eluted with one or more solvents selected from water, methanol and ethanol.

In the present invention, the term "sugar juice" refers to
It includes squeezed juice obtained by squeezing sugar cane (sugar cane), leached juice obtained by leaching sugar cane, or lime-treated purified juice and concentrated juice obtained at a raw sugar manufacturing plant. The “solvent extract of sugar cane” in the present invention means an extract obtained by concentrating and drying an extract obtained by extracting sugar cane with a general-purpose organic solvent, re-dissolving in water, and the like. Examples of such an extraction solvent include alcohols such as methanol and ethanol; ketones such as acetone; and acetates such as methyl acetate and ethyl acetate. These may be used alone or in combination. Further, these solvents and water may be used in combination.

The term "sugar molasses derived from cane sugar" means a honey molasses obtained by subjecting a mixture of sugar and mother liquor obtained in the crystallization step to centrifugation and separating the mixture from sugar crystals. The first honey, the second honey, the raw sugar waste honey, and the molasses at the refined sugar production factory, the first to seventh honey, the refined sugar waste honey, and the like are included.

Raw materials selected from sugar cane juice, a solvent extract of sugar cane, and molasses derived from sugar cane are treated as they are or after being adjusted to an arbitrary concentration with water, and then treated in a column filled with a fixed carrier. In addition, it is preferable to filter or centrifuge the above-mentioned raw materials in order to remove foreign substances before the treatment. The filtration means is not particularly limited, and can be performed by screen filtration, diatomaceous earth filtration, microfiltration, ultrafiltration, etc., which are widely used in the food industry.

As the fixed carrier to be packed in the column, a synthetic adsorbent is preferable. Examples of the synthetic adsorbent include organic resins, such as aromatic resins, acrylic acid methacrylic resins, and acrylonitrile aliphatic resins. Of these, more preferred are aromatic resins, which include unsubstituted and substituted resins. Among them, preferred are non-substituted aromatic resins. Examples of the non-substituent type aromatic resin include a porous resin such as an aromatic resin subjected to a special treatment and an untreated resin, and the substituent type aromatic resin includes a hydrophobic group. Aromatic modified resins. These synthetic adsorbents are commercially available, for example, HP-10, HP-20, HP-2 as Diaion (trademark) system.
1, HP-30, HP-40, HP-50 (the above-mentioned unsubstituted aromatic resins, all trade names, manufactured by Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation); SP-825, SP-800, SP-850,
SP-875 (above, an aromatic resin obtained by subjecting an unsubstituted group to a special treatment, all trade names, manufactured by Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation); SP
-900 (aromatic resin, trade name, manufactured by Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation); XAD-2, X as Amberlite (trademark)
AD-4, XAD-16, XAD-2000 (both aromatic resins, trade names, manufactured by Organo Co., Ltd.); SP-205, SP-20 as Diaion (trademark)
6, SP-207 (above, aromatic resin having a hydrophobic substituent, all trade names, manufactured by Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation);

HP1MG, HP2MG (above acrylic acid-based methacrylic resin, both trade names, manufactured by Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation) as Diaion (trademark) system; LH20, LH60 (above as crosslinked dextran) as Sephadex (trademark) system Derivatives, all of which are trade names, manufactured by Amersham Pharmacia Biotech Co., Ltd.). Among them, SP-850 is particularly preferred.

The amount of the fixed carrier may be appropriately determined depending on the size of the column, the type of the solvent, the type of the fixed carrier, and the like, and is selected from the raw materials (sugar cane juice, a solvent extract of cane sugar, and molasses derived from cane sugar). The solid content of ()) is preferably 0.01 to 5 times the wet volume.

By passing raw materials (selected from sugar cane juice, a solvent extract of cane sugar, and molasses derived from cane sugar) through the column, the components having an unpleasant odor reducing effect in the raw materials are adsorbed on a fixed carrier, and the saccharides are removed. And most of the inorganic salts are removed as they flow out.

The components adsorbed on the fixed carrier are eluted by the solvent. Here, in order to efficiently elute a component having an unpleasant odor reducing activity, it is preferable to sufficiently wash away saccharides, salts, and the like remaining before the components by water washing. This makes it possible to more efficiently recover the adsorbed target unpleasant odor reducing substance. The elution solvent is one or more selected from water, methanol and ethanol, and a mixed solvent of water and an alcohol, particularly an ethanol-water mixed solvent, is preferable. 50/50 to elute the reducing substance
~ 60/40 (vol / vol) ethanol-water mixed solvent is preferred. Also, by increasing the column temperature, the ethanol mixing ratio of the ethanol-water mixed solvent can be reduced. In this case, the inside of the column is in a normal pressure or a pressurized state. The flow rate depends on the column size, solvent type,
The value may vary depending on the type of the fixed carrier and the like, and may be appropriately determined, but SV is preferably 0.1 to 10. Note that SV
(Abbreviation of Space Velocity) is a space velocity and is a unit of how many times the resin volume per hour is passed.

The unpleasant odor reducing substance can be preferably obtained as follows. That is, a column filled with an unsubstituted aromatic resin in a wet volume of 0.01 to 5 times the solid content of the raw material is charged at a column temperature of 60 to 97.
After passing the raw materials through at 0 ° C., the inside of the column was washed with water, and then the components adsorbed on the column were dissolved in a 50 / 50-60 / 40 (vol / vol) ethanol-water mixed solvent at a column temperature of 20-40 ° C. The fraction eluted with the amount of eluate collected from the start of elution with the mixed solvent of ethanol and water within 4 times the wet volume of the resin is collected.

The fractions (having an unpleasant odor reducing activity) thus collected are collected and concentrated by a conventional means (evaporation of the solvent under reduced pressure, freeze-drying, etc.) to give an unpleasant odor reducing substance, namely sugar cane. An extract of origin can be obtained. The unpleasant odor reducing substance thus obtained can be stored in a liquid or powder form concentrated to a solid content of 60% or more.
The storage is preferably refrigerated, especially in the case of a liquid.

In the health food or drink containing the health material of the present invention, the amount of the extract derived from sugar cane is not particularly limited, but is preferably from 10 ppm to 100 ppm, particularly preferably from 30 ppm to 50 ppm, based on the total amount of the final product. If the content is less than 10 ppm, the effect of suppressing the unpleasant odor is not sufficient, and if it exceeds 100 ppm, the overall flavor of the product is reduced and the product becomes watery.

Further, when various flavors are added to the health food or drink containing the health material of the present invention, a better flavor can be obtained. For example, flavors are yogurt, berry, orange, quince, perilla, citrus, apple, mint, grape, pair, custard cream, peach, melon, banana, tropical, herbal, tea, Coffee-based flavors and the like can be mentioned, and these can be used alone or in combination of two or more. The addition amount of the flavor is not particularly limited, but is preferably 0.05% by weight to 0.5% by weight, particularly 0.1% by weight in terms of flavor.
About 0.3% by weight is preferred.

Furthermore, the health foods and drinks containing the health material of the present invention include other food materials, such as various sugars, proteins, lipids, emulsifiers, thickeners, sweeteners, acidulants, fruit juices, flavors and the like. May be blended. Specifically, sugars such as sucrose, isomerized sugar, glucose, fructose, palatinose, trehalose, lactose, xylose; sugar alcohols such as sorbitol, xylitol, erythritol, lactitol, reduced palatinose, reduced starch syrup, reduced maltose syrup; sucrose Emulsifiers such as fatty acid esters, glycerin fatty acid esters, and lecithin; and thickening (stabilizing) agents such as agar, gelatin, carrageenan, guar gum, xanthan gum, pectin, and locust bean gum. In addition, even if a food material such as amino acids such as glycine, tryptophan, and phenylalanine is blended, a health food or drink containing a health material with excellent flavor can be obtained.

The production of a health food or drink containing the health material of the present invention may be carried out by a conventional method. For example, after preparing a health food or drink containing a health material, a syrup solution containing a cane-derived extract prepared separately may be added and mixed, and a flavor may be added to finish the final product. Here, the cane-derived extract may be added to the health food or drink containing the health material at the same time as the flavor or after the addition of the flavor, but is preferably performed before the addition of the flavor. This is because a particularly good flavor can be obtained by adding a flavor after adding an extract derived from sugar cane to a health food or drink base containing a health material first and suppressing the unpleasant odor of the base.
