Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to alkaline water,
The object is to provide alkaline water which can be directly consumed as drinking water and has a mineral balance close to that of a living body, and which can be suitably used as a raw material for foods and cosmetics. is there.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, it has been known that alkaline water has various effects. For example, it is known that drinking alkaline water as it is has the effect of suppressing abnormal fermentation in the gastrointestinal tract, indigestion, diarrhea, excessive gastric acid and the like. Also, if you cook meat using alkaline water,
It is said that meat can be softened and rice can be cooked plump and delicious when rice is cooked using alkaline water. Furthermore, when alkaline water is used as bath water, symptoms such as low back pain and coldness can be improved. Such alkaline water is produced by electrolyzing water until the pH becomes around 9.

[0003] In recent years, alkaline water called "deep ocean water" has been marketed as a raw material for cosmetics or as a beverage. Alkaline water called “deep ocean water” is seawater obtained from a depth deeper than 200 to 300 m, and is not contaminated by microorganisms or chemical substances. In addition, since "deep ocean water" contains a large amount of various mineral components, the above-described effect of alkaline water can be further improved.

[0004]

However, the conventional alkaline water as described above has the following problems. That is, alkaline water by electrolysis of water is
A water electrolysis device (so-called water conditioner) is required separately for production, and such a device is relatively expensive, so that alkaline water could not be obtained at low cost. Furthermore, the alkaline water produced in this manner does not contain much mineral components, and therefore, the effect of the alkaline water as described above was not so much expected. In addition, in the case of alkaline water called “deep ocean water”, various mineral components are contained in a large amount, but since the water is pumped from a depth deeper than 300 m and used, the supply amount is small as a whole. There was the problem of being expensive.

[0005] On the other hand, in place of tap water into which a large amount of disinfectant has been introduced due to biological and chemical pollution of rivers, which are sources of water from domestic wastewater and industrial wastewater, mineral water is widely used by many people. It is commonly used as water. As described above, since most of mineral water consumed by many people is groundwater, most of the contained minerals are oxides such as Si and Al, which are minerals in soil. It is close to balance. For this reason, the mineral balance (combination amount) of the living body such as Ca, K, and Mg required by the living body is greatly different from that of the living body. Was.

The inventor of the present invention has been diligently conducting research with a focus on charcoal used for water purification and the like. Alkaline water composed of a washing solution of charcoal and a boiling solution of charcoal contains much of the charcoal contained in charcoal. Have been found to elute in a manner similar to the mineral balance in a living body, and can therefore be suitably used as drinking water or as a raw material for food, cosmetics, etc., leading to the completion of the present invention. Was.

[0007]

That is, according to the first aspect of the present invention, when Mg is 1, Ca is 1.5 to 3.5;
The present invention relates to alkaline water, which comprises a charcoal washing solution and / or a boiling charcoal solution containing K of 8.0 to 12.0. In the invention according to claim 2, the pH of the alkaline water is:
The alkaline water according to claim 1, wherein the alkaline water is 8.0 to 10.0.

[0008]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The alkaline water according to the present invention comprises a washing solution and / or a boiling solution of charcoal. This is because many kinds of mineral components are eluted in a large amount in a washing solution and a boiling solution of charcoal, so that various effects of conventionally known alkaline water can be improved. In addition, the eluted mineral component is similar to the mineral balance of a living body. Further, since the content of K is large, the effect of excreting Na is excellent.

The type of charcoal used for obtaining the alkaline water according to the present invention is not particularly limited, and any type of charcoal can be used. For example, 750-1000 ° C
Baking at 350-520 ° C and carbonizing raw wood at 400-750 ° C
Any of black charcoal obtained by carbonizing at 50 ° C. can be preferably used. For example, as white charcoal, Ubamegashi (Quercus phillyraeoides) is used as raw wood, and
Beech family (Fagaceae) such as Bincho charcoal baked at around 00 ℃
Charcoal made from oaks and oaks belonging to the oak genus (Quercus), charcoal using bamboo belonging to the gramineae (Gramineae), cedar (Cryptomeria japonica), and hinoki (Chamaecyparis ob)
tusa), Japanese red pine (Pinus densiflora), Japanese black pine (Pi
nus thunbergii) and other charcoal made from conifers. Also, black charcoal is Quercus ac
utissima), Quercus serrta Thunb, and the like.

The alkaline water according to the present invention can be obtained by eluting the water-soluble mineral component contained in the charcoal as described above into water. To elute water-soluble mineral components in water, put charcoal and water in a container, etc. and wash it with a scourer etc. in the container to elute it, or put charcoal and water in a container etc. And a method of elution by boiling.

[0011] Alkaline water (hereinafter referred to as a cleaning liquid) obtained by putting charcoal and water in a container and washing the surface of the charcoal with a scourer or the like in the container contains a large amount of pulverized coal. It is preferable to use one filtered by a filter or the like.

Further, alkaline water obtained by putting charcoal and water in a container or the like and boiling it (hereinafter referred to as a boiling liquid)
In the case of producing, it is possible to use washed charcoal so as not to mix the differential charcoal in the boiling liquid, and after boiling, pulverized coal may be filtered with a filter or the like.

The amount of water used for boiling the charcoal is not particularly limited, but may be about 0.5 to 1 liter of water per 100 g of charcoal. Also, the boiling time is not particularly limited, and the amount of the finally obtained boiling liquid is 1/3 of the amount of water added first.
It may be boiled until it is concentrated to about 1/5. still,
Calcium eluted from charcoal, during boiling, reacts with carbon dioxide in the air to partially become calcium carbonate, crystallizes and precipitates, but in the present invention, only the supernatant excluding precipitated calcium carbonate crystals is removed. May be used, and the calcium carbonate crystals may be used together with the boiling liquid.

Either the washing liquid or the boiling liquid of the charcoal obtained by the above-mentioned method can be used as the alkaline water according to the present invention. Alkaline water can also be used.
When a mixture of a washing solution of charcoal and a boiling solution is used as the alkaline water according to the present invention, the boiling solution contains a large amount of calcium, so that the Ca content can be increased.

The water containing the water-soluble mineral component eluted from the charcoal is not particularly limited, and tap water, distilled water and the like can be used.

[0016] The washing solution and the boiling solution of charcoal prepared by the above method contain at least Ca, K, and Mg. All of these minerals are essential mineral components for living organisms.For example, Ca is a constituent component of bones and teeth, and is important for the maintenance of life such as cell membrane permeability, nerve and heart excitability, blood coagulation and the like. Has a role. In addition, when Ca is insufficient, excitability in nerves and muscles is increased, resulting in mental instability. K plays an important role in maintaining the function of the heart.
Muscle weakness, breathing shallow. It also plays a role in excreting Na, which is excessively consumed by modern people. Mg
Works as an activator for various enzymes. Moreover, it plays a role in promoting the absorption of Ca, which tends to be insufficient in modern eating habits. It is said that the most effective content of Mg for absorbing Ca is Ca0.5 in terms of weight ratio with respect to Ca1. Furthermore, the weight ratio of minerals contained in the alkaline water according to the present invention is such that when Mg is 1, Ca is 1.5.
-3.5, K is 8.0-12.0. That is, since the alkaline water according to the present invention has a high K content, it has an effect of excreting Na, and the contents of Ca and Mg are
This is an optimal value for Ca absorption. In other words, the alkaline water according to the present invention contains various mineral components in a well-balanced manner, so that minerals that are likely to be insufficient for modern people can be efficiently consumed, and minerals that are likely to be excessively consumed for modern people. It has the effect of excreting Na.

The pH of the washing solution and boiling solution of charcoal is 8.
0-10.0, weakly alkaline with little irritation to the body, and because it does not contain harmful substances,
Highly safe alkaline water can be obtained. further,
The mineral components contained are similar to the mineral balance in the living body, so they can be used directly as shower water, bath water, or drinking water, and can also be suitably used as raw materials for foods, cosmetics, etc. it can.
