Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

[0001] The present invention relates to a food which makes it possible to utilize the physiologically active and pharmacological effects derived from the spines.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Shaji (also called saji or saji) is a plant of the family Gummy which is distributed in Europe and Asia (mainly Mainland China), and has long been known as a Chinese medicine. . However, the biochemical and chemical properties of the prickle are unknown in many areas, and the causal relationship between the pharmacological effect and the components contained in the prickle is almost unknown. Analytical values have been published for the components contained in the spinach, and Table 1 shows the analytical values published for the components of the juice of the spinach ("Food and Development" VO
L. 35, NO. 3, p. 45).

[0003]

[Table 1]

[0004] Table 2 shows the analysis values of the components contained in the fruit oil and the seed oil, which were published for the same analysis items as those in Table 1 (see “Food and Development”, VOL. 35, NO. 3, P45). .

[0005]

[Table 2]

[0006] The conditions for collecting the fruit juice in Table 1 and the fruit oil and seed oil in Table 2 are not clear ("Food and Development" VO
L. 35, NO. 3, p. 45). Table 1 and Table 2
According to, for example, fruit juices extracted from fruits (see Table 1) and fruit oils extracted from pericarp (see Table 2) differ significantly in vitamin content.

[0007] Sharp fruit oil is generally produced by extracting from the raw material of bark fruit with an organic solvent in which the oil contained therein can be dissolved. As the extraction method, a method of extracting with an organic solvent after extraction with water, a method of extracting a fruit juice with an organic solvent, a method of directly extracting a fruit with an organic solvent, and the like have been proposed. The components contained in the fruit oil are significantly different depending on the extraction method.

The fruit oil and seed oil shown in Table 2 contain an oil-soluble vitamin, Vitamin E, and do not contain water-soluble vitamins and the like. Therefore, oils and fats extracted with a water-insoluble organic solvent are used. It is understood that there is. Investigations on the use of sa spine for uses other than Chinese herbal medicine mainly involve the addition of sa thorn extract oil.Similar studies on the use of sa spine in cosmetics and foods have been made, and only a few proposals have been made. (Japanese Patent No. 2515525, Japanese Patent No. 281)
1711, JP-A-10-120585, etc.).

[0009] As for the use of saury for cosmetics, fruit oil or seed oil extracted and separated from saji is added to cosmetics, and fatty acids having 16 or more carbon atoms (particularly palmitooleic acid) contained in the oil or fat are added to cosmetics. There is a proposal to utilize skin affinity and sebumification of oils and fats for improving skin (see Japanese Patent No. 2515525).

[0010] Further, there is a proposal to add a fruit oil or seed oil extracted and separated from the spine to a bath agent to utilize the skin softening action of a fatty acid having 16 or more carbon atoms (Japanese Patent No. 2811711). Gazette).

[0011] As for the use of sardines in foods, there is a proposal to add the essence of sardines to foods to impart the skin whitening effect of the essences to the foods (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. Hei 10 (1998)).
No. 120585). "Essence of Sha Thorn"
Examples of the plant include a plant itself, a processed product obtained by drying, shredding, and pulverizing the plant, an extract obtained by adding a solvent to the plant or its processed product, an extract obtained by removing the solvent, an extract or a product obtained by removing the solvent. Fractionated by column chromatography or solvent extraction.
It is said that purified fractions and the like can be used (see JP-A-10-120585, page 2, column 2, upper column). The processed product obtained by drying, shredding, pulverizing, etc. of the spines is a processed product in which the components of the spines are decomposed or otherwise lost depending on the operating conditions such as drying, but the details are not clear. In addition, it is said that a processed product obtained by drying, shredding, pulverizing, etc. of the spines and a solvent extract of the spines produce an equivalent effect on skin whitening effect, but details thereof are not clear.

[0012] In the proposal, an experiment in which an extract obtained by extracting a water dilution of fruit juice with normal hexane and ethyl acetate has a large whitening effect is described in the Examples. It is understood that a whitening effect is obtained by a component having properties (mainly, a fat component) (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-120).
No. 585, page 3, columns 3-4, Examples 1-3).

[0013] In most cases, conventional proposals for utilizing the prickle for cosmetics and foods are based on a method of adding a prickle extract. However, an extraction method suitable for a prickly pear extract used in cosmetics and foods is not clear.

[0014]

Many of the basic matters concerning the use of saury for food are unknown, and there are problems represented by, for example, the following (1) to (4). (1) Mixing of the ingredients contained in the thorns into foods has hardly been studied, and the problems that can occur there have been virtually unknown. (2) The change in production and cooking when the ingredients contained in the spinach were mixed into food was completely unknown. (3) The possibility of adjusting the food when the ingredients contained in the spine are mixed into the food has been completely unknown. (4) The rheological properties of the food (ie, the taste due to viscoelasticity) due to the inclusion of the ingredients contained in the spine into the food,
It was completely unknown.

Thus, the possibility of the effective use of the spine-containing component in foods was examined in detail by the present inventors, and many new facts were found regarding the relationship between the spine-containing component and foods, and the present invention was obtained. Was done.

[0016] It is an object of the present invention to provide a foodstuff efficiently containing a component that produces the physiological activity and pharmacological effect possessed by the spines. Another object of the present invention is to provide a food product that can contain various components of saury by conventional manufacturing means. Another object of the present invention is to provide a food that contains various components of saury and can maintain the essential characteristics (eg, taste, etc.) of the food.

[0017]

The food according to the present invention (the present invention according to claim 1) is a squeezed sapling, a processed sapling or a mixture thereof, which contains amino acids, vitamins and fatty acids. Is characterized in that it contains vitamins, amino acids and fatty acids from squeezed sapling, processed sashimi, or mixtures thereof.

[0018]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The food of the present invention has the above-mentioned constitution of the present invention and will be specifically described below. The present invention
Foods contain squeezed sapling, processed sapling or mixtures thereof prepared to contain amino acids, vitamins and fatty acids (preferably also including inorganic elements (particularly, preferably, alkali metal elements)) Have been. In addition,
In the following, the term "shaved tuna or a mixture thereof" may be abbreviated to "shadow squeezed juice or the like".

The “sap of spinach” of the present invention is an undiluted juice obtained by squeezing a spine (whole or part of the spine) as a raw material, and a squeezed processed liquid obtained by treating the undiluted juice. It is prepared so as to contain vitamins and fatty acids (preferably also including an inorganic element (particularly preferably an alkali metal element)). The squeezed solution is, for example, a dilute solution of the undiluted juice, a concentrated solution of the undiluted juice or a separation solution of the undiluted juice. Separation treatment liquid is, for example,
It is a liquid obtained by separating a specific component (for example, an oil component) from an undiluted juice, a dilute solution of the undiluted juice, and a concentrated solution of the undiluted juice, for example, a fruit juice from which an oil is separated (generally called a juice)
Etc. Means for squeezing the spines can be obtained by any method.When the spines are squeezed as a raw material, for example, fruits, leaves, stems, branches or roots can be used as the raw materials. is there. A typical example of the squeezed juice of sashimi is the juice obtained by squeezing the fruit of the sashimi (ie, the fruit juice of the sashimi). The fruit of the spine is typically a juice made from the whole fruit of the spine, but it can also be a juice made from flesh, peel or seed.

The "processed sapin" of the present invention is a processed sapin, for example, an object obtained by processing the whole or a part of the sapin and an object obtained by processing the juice of the sapin. As the processing, for example, there is a treatment of adding the ingredients of the saury to raw materials so that the ingredients can be easily used in food. The shaved portion is, for example, whole fruit, pulp, fruit seed, leaf, stem, branch, root or the like. As a processed product of Sha Thorn, for example,
Dried strips or powder of the whole or part of the spine,
And powders obtained by drying the squeezed juice of sha thorn. In the dried powder of the spine, the components contained in the spine are concentrated by drying, and the powder is easily dispersed into foodstuffs by powdering. However, the dried strip or dried powder of the spine in the present invention is a dried strip or dried powder containing amino acids, vitamins, and fatty acids (preferably including an inorganic element (particularly, preferably, an alkali metal element)). It has been made into a powder.

The "mixture thereof" according to the present invention is a mixture of squeezed sardines and processed sardines to facilitate the use of the components of the sardines in foods. The mixture is, for example, a sol or gel formed by mixing.

[0022] The juice of the spines (eg, fruit) may be either a solid-containing liquid or a solid-free liquid, as long as the juice (eg, fruit juice) is obtained by squeezing the spines (eg, fruit). However, if the squeezed spinach is a solid-containing liquid and the solid content is, for example, 1 to 29% by weight (based on the weight of the juice), preferably 3 to 24% by weight, It is possible to produce various kinds of foods, and it is excellent in exhibiting the effects derived from the ingredients contained in the spines, and it is easy to adjust the taste of the foods. The solid content is a solid material remaining when the solid content-containing liquid is dried.

Sashimi juice has good miscibility with foodstuffs,
It can be formed into the target food, and is contained in the food in an amount in a range that allows adjustment of the taste of the food to a desired range.

[0024] Sharp juice can be used, for example, in the range of 0.05 to 40.
It is contained in the food at a ratio of 00% by weight (based on the weight of the final product), so that the effect derived from the ingredients contained in the spine is imparted to the food.
The content can be appropriately changed according to the form, type, taste and the like of the food.

It is desirable that the squeezed pear juice is contained in the food at a content of, for example, 0.05 to 15% by weight (based on the weight of the final product). When the content of sapling juice is less than 0.05%, the content of various amino acids, various vitamins and various fatty acids from the squeezed juice contained in food becomes too small, and the effect derived from the sapling becomes small. . In addition, when the content of the squeezed sap exceeds 15% by weight, it may be difficult to adjust the taste of the food.

[0026] The processed product of the spinach and the mixture of the processed product of the spinach and the processed product of the spinach are contained in the food, for example, in a ratio of 1 to 40% by weight (based on the weight of the final product). Content 0.05
If it is less than%, the amount of the prickle component penetrated into the food becomes too small to obtain the prickle-derived effect. If the content exceeds 40.00% by weight, the rheological property of the food changes, and the taste changes due to viscoelasticity.

[0027] Table 3 shows that the solid content is contained (the solid content of the juice in Table 3 is about 10 g / 100 g (juice)) to be prepared to contain alkali metal elements, amino acids, vitamins and fatty acids. The analysis value of an example of the fruit juice of Sha thorn is shown. Table 3 lists the main components obtained by the analysis, and includes other various components (for example, flavonoids and SOD).

[0028]

[Table 3]

The juice of Table 3 contains abundant vitamins (similar to the juice of Table 1) and also contains abundant inorganic components (particularly, alkali metal elements), amino acids and fatty acids (Table 1). It is significantly different from fruit juice), and contains various components that can produce physiological activity and pharmacological effects derived from the spines.

If the fruit juice of the spine contains solids, the juice can be easily dispersed in the food, the taste due to the rheological property is improved, and the spine component contained in the food is improved. The amount of becomes large. The same is true even if the food containing the fruit of the spine is a liquid food (eg, a beverage). From the viewpoint of enjoying such an effect, the solid content of the juice of the shaved spine is, for example, about 1 to 29 g / 100 g (fruit juice) (preferably, about 3 to 24 g / 100 g (fruit juice)).
Is desirable. The solids content is
If it is less than 3/100 g (especially less than 1 g / 100 g), the amount of the barb component tends to be low, and
When the amount exceeds g (particularly, about 29 g / 100 g), difficulty tends to occur in producing liquid foods (eg, beverages).

Moreover, the fruit of the spine is in a solid-containing state and is strongly acidic (for example, strongly acidic at pH 1.6 to 6.0 (particularly, strongly acidic at pH 1.8 to 5.0). In this case, inorganic components, vitamins, amino acids, fatty acids, and the like are abundantly contained, and the components are maintained in a state of being stably dispersed and dissolved, and are easily mixed and integrated with food ingredients. become.

The fruit of the spine has a strong acidity of pH 1.6 to 6.0 and a solid content of about 1 to 29 g / 100 g (juice). It is easy to include it in various foods, and the effects of the present invention can be maximized. The amino acid contained in the shaved juice and the like may be, for example, one kind of aspartic acid, glutamic acid, broline, phenylalanine, or serine, but is preferably two or more kinds thereof. The vitamin may be, for example, one kind of vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin B, vitamin E, or the like, but it is preferable that two or more kinds of vitamins are used. The fatty acid may be one kind such as palmitic acid, oleic acid or palmitoleic acid, but it is preferable that two or more kinds of them are used.

[0033] Sharp squeezed juice and the like, as an inorganic component, for example,
Alkali metal elements (eg, potassium, sodium),
When prepared to contain an alkaline earth metal element (for example, potassium) or a nitrogen element (for example, phosphorus) (particularly when prepared to contain an alkali metal element), Ingredients can be contained in foods while maintaining their diversity, and the effects of the present invention on foods can be maximized. It is not clear about the form of the compound of alkali metal element, alkaline earth metal element and nitrogen element present in sardine juice, etc., but since the production conditions of food (eg, heating conditions) are mild, It is contained in foods in the form of compounds present in juices and the like.

In the present invention, the expression "the spine juice contains an alkali metal element" means the alkali metal element and the compound containing the alkali metal element contained in the spine juice. There is no restriction on the form of the compound contained.

Thorn juice and the like can be used in place of conventional ingredients for food additives (mostly synthetic compounds) having conventional health functions (performances that function beneficially to health). is there. In addition, although the spine component that produces the bioactive effect and the pharmacological effect of the spine is not necessarily specified, the present invention includes the main component group of the spine in the food, and the essential effect of the spine. Can be expressed in foods. In addition, the physiological activity and pharmacological effects of Sha Ting are improved and prevented for cardiovascular disease (for example, ischemic heart disease) and cardiopulmonary function, prevention and improvement for brain disease (for example, ischemic cerebrovascular disorder), hypertension and hypertension. Reduction of lipemia, enhancement of autoimmune function,
Improvements in digestive organ function and liver function are mentioned.

There are no particular restrictions on the type and form of the food into which the shaved squeezed juice and the like are mixed.
It can be of the type dairy products, seasonings, meat products, seafood products, oil and fat foods, health foods, confectioneries, beverages and the like. The food can be in the form of a solid, semi-solid, liquid, sol, gel, emulsion, suspension, emulsion, foam, and the like.
