DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a processed product using chrysanthemum as a main material capable of preventing diabetes and the like, and a method for producing the same.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art It is said that the number of people suffering from diabetes, one of the three major adult diseases, is in the thousands. And the onset of adult illness is obesity, and the onset of obesity is due to reduced intestinal function. For this reason, bifidobacteria are bad bacteria (Gandida, Salmonella, Shigella, Escherichia coli,
It is known that the exclusion of cloth, radium, staphylococci, etc.) has been used to prevent diabetes, as well as many adult diseases and cancer. Thus, there is a need for a drug that is effective and safe not only for diabetes but also for other adult diseases, menopause and senile blur (senile dementia).

Attention has been paid to chrysanthemum (scientific name: Heliansis tuberosus), which is a plant of the Asteraceae family that has yellow flowers. This chrysanthemum contains a large amount of a polysaccharide called inulin, and is known to be particularly excellent as a diabetic diet. Chrysanthemum is a plant that does not contain starch and contains about 14% of inulin, which is a polymer of fructose, as a sugar. This inulin, unlike starch, cannot be decomposed by human digestive enzymes, and fructose decomposed by inulin due to the action of enzymes and the like is indigestible, so it is a sweet source that can be safely provided to people with diabetes.
Inulin also has low calories. Furthermore, inulin is known to have an effect of lowering the concentration of neutral fat, resting a tired pancreas, relieving the burden on the pancreas, and restoring the function of the pancreas.

Furthermore, oligofructose of inulin has an effect of inhibiting cancer growth. It is also known that inulin has an effect of reducing blood lipids.
Furthermore, inulin promotes the growth of bifidobacteria and activates and purifies the intestine to prevent adult diseases, eliminate obesity, and prevent menopause. Therefore, inulin is known to have many advantages. Further, inulin (inulin-type fructan) is safe without showing lethality, toxicity to target organs, toxicity to regeneration or development, carcinogenicity, and the like.

[0005]

As described above, chrysanthemum containing a lot of inulin is a food (processed product) suitable for the modern savior. However, chrysanthemum is a vegetable that is highly acrid and therefore is difficult to cook, and has a peculiar foul smell or muddy odor, so it cannot be said that it is delicious even when eaten raw or boiled.
Furthermore, it is difficult to preserve it in the raw state. Therefore, there is a problem that it is difficult to effectively and easily take the inulin contained in chrysanthemum.

[0006] Diabetes, on the other hand, is at risk of being afflicted with three major complications that are afraid to leave alone: diabetic retinopathy, diabetic neuropathy and diabetic nephropathy. These complications of diabetes are caused by bleeding due to hardening and destruction of the blood vessel wall, and the terminal tissues are necrotic and caused. For this reason, it is desirable to take in some form with natural foods such as chrysanthemums containing a large amount of inulin, and natural foods can be used to treat or prevent diabetes without difficulty for the body. Furthermore, in order to actively prevent or cure diabetes, it is desirable to ingest a processed product composed of a natural component capable of coping with sclerosis of the blood vessel wall accompanying diabetes as well as inulin.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a processed product of chrysanthemum which is effective for diabetes and complications of diabetes, and a method for producing the same. It is another object of the present invention to provide a processed product of chrysanthemum and a method for producing the same, which can be easily taken at any time.

[0008]

For this reason, the present applicant has

The method for producing a processed product of chrysanthemum of the present invention includes a step of adding vitamin E to chrysanthemum. The processed product of chrysanthemum sweet potato according to the present invention is an inulin of chrysanthemum effective for diabetes,
Furthermore, a small amount of vitamin E is added, and these can be taken simultaneously and reliably. For this reason, by ingesting the processed product of chrysanthemum according to the present invention,
The effect of preventing the destruction of the defective wall by the active oxygen is enormous, and not only diabetes but also complications resulting from diabetes can be prevented. For this reason, by providing the processed product of chrysanthemum of the present invention, taking advantage of the inulin that is contained in a lot of chrysanthemum as described above, including diabetes and its complications, other adult diseases, menopause, elderly people Foods useful for preventing sexual dementia can be provided. Furthermore, the processed product of chrysanthemum of the present invention seems to be effective also for prevention of arthritis and fifty shoulder. This is considered from the experience of the inventor of the present application as a therapist that arthritis is caused by intestinal bacteria accumulating in the joints via the blood. Therefore, arthritis and fifty shoulder can also be prevented by inulin stimulating the activation and purification of the intestine, and can be less likely to occur. Furthermore, by combining the blood circulation promoting effect of vitamin E, the symptoms can be alleviated and cured.

Further, it is desirable that vitamin E is added in the range of about 0.01% by weight to 0.05% by weight when manufacturing a processed product. Complications caused by diabetes can be prevented or treated by taking only 300 to 800 mg of vitamin E daily with chrysanthemum, and adding vitamin E to the above degree It is quite possible to avoid the risk of complications. And, by setting the addition amount to this level, there is no occurrence of hypervitaminosis.

[0011] Inulin contained in chrysanthemum is water-soluble, but vitamin E (natural vitamin E) from germ oil such as rice and wheat is oil-based. For this reason, it is easy to separate and it is difficult to uniformly add a small amount of vitamin E, that is, to mix them. Therefore, in the processed product of chrysanthemum of the present invention,
It is preferable that vitamin E is mixed with hot air dried and ground powder of chrysanthemum to provide tablets. Therefore, in the process for producing a processed product of the present invention, in the step of adding vitamin E, there is provided a step of pulverizing chrysanthemum, drying it with hot air, adding vitamin E to the pulverized potato, and then making a tablet. By powdering water-soluble chrysanthemum containing inulin without squeezing water, inulin does not escape, and by powdering, oily vitamin E can be easily and uniformly mixed. For this reason, it is possible to provide tablets of constant quality with stable components. Therefore, it can be provided as a processed product effective for the synergistic effect of chrysanthemum and vitamin E, that is, diabetes and its complications. further,

In addition, in this production method, the whole chrysanthemum is dried as it is, so that the whole chrysanthemum becomes a tablet as it is, and the fiber and other components are contained, so that the health is further improved.

Further, in the present invention, vitamin E can be added to the juice of chrysanthemum and dried to form a powder, which can be provided as a processed product of chrysanthemum. That is, in the process for producing a processed product of the present invention, in the step of adding vitamin E, vitamin E is added to the juice of chrysanthemum. Further, there is provided a step of spraying the added substance into a high-temperature atmosphere to form a powder. In the processed product pulverized by this production method, infused juice of chrysanthemum containing abundant inulin and extract of oily vitamin E are sprayed in a high-temperature atmosphere at high speed and dried. Can be made into a powder without escape and without uneven distribution of vitamin E. For this reason, it is possible to powder the extract of chrysanthemum without removing the water-soluble components such as inulin, and to provide a product in which vitamin E is evenly added thereto. Therefore,
As described above, the processed product of the powdered chrysanthemum of the present invention produced by such a production method can surely obtain the effect of vitamin E in addition to the effect of the effective component of the chrysanthemum.

The concentrated powder can be provided, for example, as a food that can easily be processed into a processed product of chrysanthemum by packing it in a stick-like package. Furthermore, packaging makes it easy to take a desired amount, for example, a single dose. It is also easy to carry and can be taken anywhere, anytime. Furthermore, by processing a powder of the juice of chrysanthemum (extract) containing also such vitamin E into a tablet, a processed product having the same effect as the above-mentioned tablet can be provided.

According to the present invention, vitamin E can be added to the juice obtained by concentrating chrysanthemum and filled in soft capsules to provide a processed product of chrysanthemum. That is, in the process for producing a processed product of the present invention, in the step of adding vitamin E, vitamin E is added to the juice of chrysanthemum. After that, vitamin E

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows an outline of a process (manufacturing method) of a processed product of chrysanthemum (tablet) according to the present invention. First, in step 11, the raw chrysanthemums that have been dug out are washed. This is an important step to prevent soil odor and contamination by soil bacteria. Next, in step 12, the chrysanthemum is sliced, and in step 13, the sliced chrysanthemum is dried with hot air and sterilized. Then, in step 14, the powder is crushed into powder. In step 15, about 1% by weight of citric acid as an auxiliary material is added to this powder. In addition, natural vitamin E,
For example, about 0.03% by weight of germ oil of rice or wheat is added. At this time, since the chrysanthemum containing inulin is powdered, it can be sufficiently mixed with the oil-based natural vitamin E, and a processed product almost uniformly mixed can be produced without separation thereafter.

Further, in step 16, an appropriate amount of an inactive excipient, for example, lactose, is added to make it easy to take. Finally, in step 17, these are compressed into tablets.

By making chrysanthemum into a powder and adding a small amount of natural vitamin E thereto to make a tablet (a processed product of chrysanthemum), the advantage of inulin, which is contained in a lot of chrysanthemum as described above, is further utilized. Vitamin E, which is essential for complications, can also be taken at the same time. Further, in the production method of this example, when drying the crushed chrysanthemum in step 13, instead of dehydrating, only water is removed by hot air drying, and water-soluble components such as inulin and water are removed together with water. It is prevented from being removed. Therefore, a powder rich in inulin, which is a main component of chrysanthemum, can be produced. Further, by pulverizing the powder, the oil component is easily mixed with vitamin E.

As described above, diabetes complications are phenomena caused by bleeding due to hardening and destruction of the blood vessel wall, and necrosis of each terminal tissue. And vitamin E
Acts to prevent the terminal capillary wall from being destroyed by active oxygen. Also, inulin contained in chrysanthemum can lower blood sugar levels, lower hemoglobin, suppress insulin secretion, rest the pancreas, and restore tired functions. Therefore, by providing such a processed product of chrysanthemum, a synergistic effect of chrysanthemum and vitamin E is obtained, so that it is possible to realize a fundamental treatment for diabetes which has been regarded as an incurable disease. Therefore, the processed product of chrysanthemum of this example can be expected to be useful for prevention of diabetes and complications due to diabetes, as well as other adult diseases, menopause, senile dementia and the like. Further, as described above, the processed product of chrysanthemum in this example is considered to be useful for prevention of arthritis and fifty shoulder caused by intestinal bacteria accumulating in the joint via blood.

In the method of manufacturing a processed product of this embodiment, citric acid is also added in step 15. Note that an acid such as acetic acid may be added, but desirably citric acid is added. By adding citric acid, antioxidant, antisterile, antiseptic, and antiperoxidant effects that do not become acidic (anti-wrinkles, spots, and freckles easily formed by active oxygen and unsaturated fatty acids), etc. Can also be obtained.

Furthermore, by making a powder (a processed product of chrysanthemum) into chrysanthemum sweet potato into a tablet, the inulin contained in the chrysanthemum and oily vitamin E can be easily and easily ingested, You can easily talk without worrying about Furthermore, powdering chrysanthemum as it is to make tablets makes it healthy because it contains a lot of fiber. In addition, by processing it into tablets, it is not necessary to have the time to cook the strong potato chrysanthemum,
Preservation was difficult in a raw state, but processing into tablets in this way also facilitates preservation. Also in this regard, if the powder of chrysanthemum containing vitamin E of this example is made into a tablet, it can be provided as a processed product of chrysanthemum which can be used easily.

FIG. 2 shows a different example of manufacturing a processed product of chrysanthemum according to the present invention. In this production method, an extract is squeezed from chrysanthemum and a processed product in which the extract is powdered is produced. First, in step 20, the washed raw chrysanthemum is pulverized by a mixer. Further, vitamin C is added to prevent oxidation. Alternatively, add 100% lemon juice. Lemon juice or vitamin C has a function of preventing oxidation and suppressing discoloration of a beverage (juice juice or sap) and neutralizing alkaline juice to suppress fermentation.

Next, in step 21, the juice is compressed using a dehydrator or a press to extract the juice. Hereafter,
The juice is called an extract. In step 22, the extract is boiled for sterilization. Then, in step 23, citric acid as a secondary material, in this example, about 0.5 to 3% by weight is added.

Further, in step 24, the extract is removed to reduce the peculiar smell and muddy odor of the chrysanthemum, and a palatable extract is completed.

In step 25, natural vitamin E (such as wheat germ oil) is added in the present example, in an amount of about 0.01 to 0.05% by weight. Further, in step 26, the extract of chrysanthemum and a small amount of added vitamin E are powdered by spraying into a high heat atmosphere in a high heat pot. Thereby, as described above, the natural vitamin E which is oily can be mixed without being separated. In step 27, these powders are packed into a stick-like package and finished.

In the production method of this example, since the juice of chrysanthemum is obtained, the effective components of chrysanthemum such as water-soluble inulin can be concentrated without escape. And
After the oil-based vitamin E is added to the extract, it is sprayed and dried at a high speed in a high-temperature atmosphere to evaporate only the water, not to lose inulin and the like, and to further pulverize in a state where vitamin E is mixed. Can vitamin E
Can be fixed. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a powder having a stable quality, in which an effective component of chrysanthemum such as inulin and vitamin E are almost uniformly mixed. In addition, since the extract is a concentrated powder, it is possible to obtain the effect of inulin (chrysanthemum) and the effect of vitamin E at the same time by ingesting a small amount of the extract. Further, by packing such a powder of chrysanthemum containing vitamin E in a stick-like bag, it can be easily carried and can be taken anywhere. In addition, if it is a processed product of powdered chrysanthemum packed in a stick, a desired amount such as a single dose can be easily taken.

As described above, in the above-mentioned production method, since the water containing inulin is concentrated, inulin is not lost, and an appropriate amount of vitamin E can be contained.
Therefore, as described above, inulin and vitamin E
Can prevent diabetes and can avoid complications due to diabetes (diabetic retinopathy, diabetic neuropathy and diabetic nephropathy). Furthermore, the effect of preventing other adult diseases, menopause and senile dementia can be easily and easily performed.

The powder obtained by mixing the concentrated chrysanthemum and the natural vitamin E obtained after the spraying in the above step 26 can be tabletted as shown in step 28 to obtain a tablet. Of course, the same effect can be obtained.
