Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a powder for dissolving in a liquid such as water or hot water to produce a chlorella beverage, which has a uniform product, good color, taste and aroma, is easily dissolved in a liquid, and has a rough feeling. The present invention relates to a powder for chlorella beverages, which is excellent in nutrition and excellent in nutrition.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Chlorella drinks conventionally sold are chlorella extracts (CG, C.G.) extracted by heat from chlorella algae.
In most cases, F) was diluted with a liquid such as water or hot water to drink, and there was no type in which chlorella powder obtained by drying chlorella was dissolved in a liquid.

[0003] In addition, various experiments have been carried out to mix chlorella powder with liquid to make chlorella drinks.
The quality problem was not solved and could not be commercialized.

[0004]

A chlorella beverage prepared by mixing a conventional chlorella powder with a liquid has the following problems.

[0005] The first problem is color. Chlorella powder has a dark green color. The particles of the chlorella powder have a large particle diameter due to the binding of a number of cells to each other, so that the color of the powder is dark green. In addition, chlorella powder has a large particle diameter, so that it takes time to mix with other raw materials, and furthermore, the mixing is not uniform, causing color unevenness and variation. Further, when chlorella powder is mixed with a liquid, it becomes a dark green chlorella beverage, and the color does not look delicious. In addition, since the chlorella powder sediments uniformly in the liquid, a uniform color cannot be obtained. When viewed in a transparent container, the color unevenness is obvious.

[0006] The second problem is smell and taste. Chlorella powder has a unique smell and taste of algae. Responses to the sense of smell and taste vary from person to person and cannot be determined in general. For example, some people associate the smell of a mud with the smell of algae. Even when chlorella powder is mixed with a liquid, it smells and tastes unique to algae. As a beverage, it is important to have a preference of whether or not a person who once drinks habitually becomes accustomed to it, but the preference of a beverage made by mixing chlorella powder with a liquid was low.

Third, there is the problem of water solubility. The particle size of chlorella powder is between 80 mesh and 300 mesh,
Particles larger than 00 mesh account for about 50%. The particle size of the dried chlorella cells 1 is 2 to 8 microns, but due to the binding between cells, there are actually large clumps having a particle size of 60 microns. The reason why the chlorella powder is rough when the chlorella powder is directly taken into the mouth is that the chlorella powder does not disperse in the liquid and the particle size is large. Further, chlorella powder does not dissolve even when mixed with a liquid, so that if the stirring is stopped, sedimentation starts from the one having the larger particle size and precipitates. The precipitated chlorella powder remains on the bottom unless it is drunk with stirring. In addition, the particles are rough and difficult to drink, and the drinking is not good. Roughness remains after drinking and the feeling after drinking is not good. Rough powder remains on tableware.

[0008] The fourth problem is nutrition. Chlorella is a nutritious food, but its cell wall is strong and its cells combine to form large clumps, so the nutrient absorption rate is poor.

An object of the present invention is to provide a powder for a chlorella beverage which solves all the disadvantages of the chlorella beverage using the conventional chlorella powder described above.

[0010]

A first aspect of the present invention is to provide a chlorella beverage powder to be dissolved in a liquid for drinking. The chlorella powder obtained by drying the chlorella is subjected to a crushing treatment to separate cell-cell junctions and cell walls. Starting from fine chlorella powder having a particle size of 2 to 10 microns obtained by crushing, the fine grain powder having a particle size of 20 to 30 microns obtained by subjecting the cereal to a crushing process is described above. The present invention relates to a powder for a chlorella beverage, wherein the mixing ratio of the fine chlorella powder and the fine grain powder is 1: 9 to 4: 6 in addition to the obtained fine chlorella powder and uniformly mixed.

A second aspect of the present invention is to provide a chlorella beverage powder to be dissolved in a liquid for drinking, wherein the chlorella powder obtained by drying the chlorella is subjected to a crushing treatment to separate bonds between cells and crush the cell wall. Using the obtained fine chlorella powder having a particle size of 2 to 10 microns as a raw material,
The grain size obtained by adding crushing treatment to the grain is 2
0 micron-30 micron fine grain powder is added to the above fine chlorella powder and mixed uniformly, the mixing ratio of fine chlorella powder and fine grain powder is 1: 9-4: 6, and the cereal is brown rice. The present invention relates to a powder for a chlorella beverage characterized by the following.

The above fine chlorella powder is obtained by subjecting chlorella powder to a crushing treatment to separate intercellular bonds and crush cell walls.
All particle sizes are less than 10 microns. 4
It is a fine chlorella powder having a very small particle size of from 00 mesh to 600 mesh or more. When the chlorella powder is made into fine chlorella powder, the color becomes bright green. The fine chlorella powder is characterized in that when another powder is added and mixed, the time required for mixing is short, and since the mixing is uniform, there is no unevenness or variation in color. Further, when the fine chlorella powder is used, the algal odor peculiar to chlorella is weakened, and a matcha-like scent comes out. Chlorella's unique algae taste also weakens. Further, since the particle diameter is as fine as 2 to 10 microns, the fine chlorella powder is melted when it is directly put into the mouth and does not become rough.

When the fine chlorella powder is dissolved in a liquid, the color becomes a uniform greenish color, and the color is completely dispersed, so that no sedimentation occurs, and there is no rough feeling when drinking. Since the cell wall is broken and the intercellular junctions are separated, the rate of nutrient absorption is increased.

However, only the fine chlorella powder described above
It is not a complete solution to the problem. As for the color, although it has been improved from dark green to bright green, it is still a bit too dark for a beverage. Although the smell and taste are weaker than those of Chlorella powder, the smell and taste peculiar to the alga body still remain. Regarding the water solubility, since a flour is generated, it takes a certain amount of trouble and time to completely disperse the powder. The relay powder is related to the fact that the fine chlorella powder has a small particle size, high viscosity and low dispersibility, and is formed because a film is formed around the powder mass and the liquid does not permeate into the inside. When the flour is generated, it looks bad, is difficult to drink, has an unpleasant sensation in the mouth, and when the membrane is broken in the mouth, it tastes like eating a chunk of chlorella directly. Regarding nutrition, even though chlorella has high nutritional value, the amount of fine chlorella powder to be dissolved for beverages is relatively small and sufficient, so the amount of nutrition that can be consumed is small, and it is qualitatively balanced from chlorella alone. Lean toward

The fine grain powder to be mixed with the above fine chlorella powder is obtained by subjecting the grain to a crushing treatment to reduce all the particle diameters to 2%.
The size is set to 0 to 30 microns. Since the fine grain powder has water absorbency, it has good dispersibility when put into a liquid, and easily dissolves in a short time. For cereals, brown rice
A predetermined effect can be obtained by using any of hirse, millet, wheat, corn, beans and the like. Among grains, brown rice is superior in taste, aroma and nutrition.

According to the first aspect (claim 1) of the present invention,
The above-mentioned fine grain powder is added to the above-mentioned fine chlorella powder:
By mixing at a ratio of 9 to 4: 6, chlorella powder for beverages having high palatability, which solved all disadvantages, was completed. Regarding color, fine chlorella powder and fine grain powder can be uniformly mixed in a short time and without unevenness,
The mixed powder has a fresh green color. A chlorella beverage in which this is dissolved in a liquid has a uniform color, has a beautiful fresh green color, and has a delicious color. As for the scent and taste, the unique odor and taste of the alga body of the fine chlorella powder combined with the odor and taste of the grain powder neutralize the unpleasant odor and taste, and the palatability with a distinctive matcha-like scent It will be a delicious chlorella beverage with high quality. Regarding water solubility, the water absorption and dispersibility of the fine grain powder improve the water absorption and dispersibility of the fine chlorella powder. The color is uniform. There is no rough feeling, so it is very easy to drink and the feeling after drinking is refreshing. As for nutrition, the nutrition of cereals is added to the nutrition of chlorella,
The amount of nutrients that can be supplied is increased, and the balance is improved.

The fine grain powder of brown rice mixed with the above fine chlorella powder is obtained by subjecting brown rice to a crushing treatment so that all the grain sizes are 20 to 30 microns. Since the fine grain powder has water absorbency, it has good dispersibility when put into a liquid, and easily dissolves in a short time. Brown rice fine grain powder is characterized by its fragrance and friendly taste. Among grains, brown rice is the best in taste, aroma and nutrition.

According to the second aspect of the present invention (claim 2),
The fine grain powder of the brown rice to the fine chlorella powder,
By mixing at a ratio of 1: 9 to 4: 6, a chlorella powder for beverages having high palatability, which solved all the disadvantages, was completed. Regarding the color, the fine chlorella powder and the fine grain powder can be uniformly mixed in a short time and without unevenness, and the mixed powder has a fresh green color. A chlorella beverage in which this is dissolved in a liquid has a uniform color, has a beautiful fresh green color, and has a delicious color. As for the aroma and taste,
The unique odor and taste of the alga body of the fine chlorella powder combined with the odor and taste of brown rice powder neutralizes the unpleasant odor and taste, and the delicious chlorella drink with a high palatability with a distinctive matcha-like aroma. Become. The algal odor disappears, and the matcha flavor and brown rice aroma are the best. Regarding water solubility, the water absorption and dispersibility of the fine grain powder improve the water absorption and dispersibility of the fine chlorella powder. The color is uniform. There is no rough feeling, so it is very easy to drink and the feeling after drinking is refreshing.
As for nutrition, since the nutrition of brown rice is added to the nutrition of chlorella, the amount of nutrition that can be supplied is increased, and the nutrition balance is improved.

The case where the particle size of the powder to be mixed is not in the predetermined range will be described. When the particle size of the fine chlorella powder to be mixed exceeds 10 microns, the color of the mixed powder approaches dark green and causes color unevenness, the smell and taste peculiar to the alga body are strengthened, the water solubility is reduced and the water is not dispersed and settles. Cause a rough feeling. If the particle size of the fine grain powder to be mixed is less than 20 microns, both the fine grain powder and the fine chlorella powder will form a flour, and it will take time and effort to disperse. If the particle size of the fine grain powder to be mixed exceeds 30 microns, the mixing becomes uneven and the mixed powder causes color unevenness, and when put into a liquid, the fine chlorella powder is sufficiently dispersed because both powders are not mixed uniformly. And the fine chlorella powder is spliced.

The case where the mixing ratio of the two powders is not within the predetermined range will be described. The mixing ratio of the fine chlorella powder is 1:
If it is less than 9, the green tint will be faint and the color will be poor, the odor and taste peculiar to the cereal will be too strong and the palatability will deteriorate, and the nutritional value will be reduced due to the small amount of fine chlorella powder mixed.
When the mixing ratio of the fine chlorella powder is more than 4: 6, the color becomes dark green, the smell and taste peculiar to the algae are enhanced, and the palatability is reduced. .
