Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a feed for hens for laying eggs to which specific herbs and herbs are added, a method of breeding hens for breeding by feeding the feeds, and a method of producing hens bred by the breeding method. The present invention relates to an egg and a food produced using the egg.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Egg-feeding chicken feed is produced from corn, mylo, soybean meal, oil cake, fish meal, and the like, but the quality and taste of the feed have been reduced as a result of the economics of production. In addition, eggs produced by chickens, which are intentionally added and fed to normal feed with vitamins, minerals (inorganic substances), fatty acids (DHA, EPA, etc.) and the like, are on the market as healthy eggs. On the other hand, in order to improve the fish odor of chicken eggs, a natural spice is added to a normal feed and blended, and there is a report of a feed which does not have a fish odor and has a rich flavor (for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-1997). 98725), but there are some problems such as not yet being put to practical use in the industry.

[0003]

An object of the present invention is to eliminate the fishy odor which has been regarded as one of the problems of the conventional chicken eggs, to obtain an egg having a peculiar flavor, good taste and good palatability. In addition, to obtain healthy eggs rich in certain nutrients such as minerals (minerals) and vitamins. It is a further object of the present invention to solve the problems such as the above-mentioned methods of cultivating, producing, and feeding and raising feed for feeding eggs that produce chickens.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems] As a result of intensive research to solve the above-mentioned problems, a feed containing a specific herb / herb which has been cultivated and used in human life since ancient times was fed, The eggs produced by the breeding chickens have no fishy smell, and the flavor and taste of the herbs and herbs are good due to the difference in the types of herbs and herbs. In addition, the present inventors have found that they are rich in certain vitamins and minerals (inorganic substances) as a result of nutritional analysis, and completed the present invention.

[0005] Eggs produced by poultry bred by adding a specific natural spice to poultry feed for egg collection and breeding do not have the fishy odor of conventional eggs and have a rich flavor. (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-9872)
5). However, in the above-mentioned publication, the effect is reported only for specific natural spices. Further, as examples, only examples characterized by the addition of nutmeg and cinnamon from many natural spices are reported. Nutmeg and cinnamon are used as spices in cooking, but both are tropical plants and cannot be easily cultivated by anyone. Nutmeg is also known to be toxic even in small amounts. Therefore, it is not easy for anyone to feed chickens to which these spices have been added to breed chickens and use the produced eggs. In addition, the above publication describes the results of sensory tests on flavor and taste,
The effects on the most required nutritional components of eggs have not been studied.

[0006] In the present invention, lemon balm, camomile and oregano were selected from herbs and herbs as plants to be added to and blended with ordinary egg-laying chicken feed. They are,
Also known as longevity herbs, mother herbs, culinary herbs,
It has been used in human daily life since ancient times and has made a great contribution to mental and physical health. It is rich in vitamins and minerals (inorganic) as well as medicinal ingredients with unique fragrances. In particular, these herbs can be easily cultivated and can be easily used for tea, bath salts, dishes, etc. did.

That is, the present invention provides a feed characterized by containing at least one of lemon balm, camomile and oregano.

Further, the present invention provides an egg produced by a chicken bred with the above-mentioned feed and a food produced by processing the egg.

[0009]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The herbs and herbs used in the present invention are selected from lemon balm, camomile and oregano, and can be used in combination of at least one or more.

When herbs and herbs are added to and blended with ordinary chicken feed for laying eggs, the form of the herbs is not limited, but adding and blending dried and ground powders enhances the eating and digestion of chickens. Desirable for ease.

[0011] The compounding amount is 1 to 7% by weight in terms of dry powder.
(Hereinafter simply referred to as%).

[0012] In the present invention, ordinary feed materials to which herbs and herbs are added are not limited at all.

For examinations such as inspection and measurement for confirming the effect of the present invention, eggs (hereinafter referred to as herb eggs) produced after 14 days from the start of feed feeding were used. Eggs from normal feed are referred to as target eggs.

[0014]

Next, the present invention will be described with reference to examples, but the present invention is not limited to these examples.

[0015]

Example 1 The aroma component of eggs of chickens fed and fed a diet containing 2% oregano dry powder was analyzed using a gas chromatograph / mass spectrometer. Sample Oregano dry powder (based on inspection standards): 2 to 3 g Shell, white, yellowish of herb egg and target egg: 10 to 20 g each Result No oregano-derived essential oil component was detectable from herb eggs. No specific component was confirmed even when compared with the odor component of the target egg.

[0016]

Example 2 A ranking of chickens (oregano eggs) and target eggs fed and fed with a feed containing 5% oregano dry powder was examined by sensory tests.
(Based on Friedman's test, Kendall's coefficient of concordance, and Kramer's test) Texture test by 20 panelists Oregano eggs and raw and boiled eggs of target eggs are classified into white and yolk, ranking of taste, texture Got a comment.

[0017]

Example 3 Eggs of chickens fed and fed a feed containing 5% of dry powder of lemon balm and 5% of dry powder of camomile, respectively (referred to as lemon balm eggs and camomile eggs, respectively) Eggs were examined for ranking by sensory tests. Inspection by 20 panelists Lemon balm eggs, oregano eggs, and boiled eggs of the target eggs were classified into white and yolk and ranked.

[0018]

Example 4 Chicken eggs fed with feed supplemented with 5% of dry powder of lemon balm and 5% of dry powder of camomile were fed (referred to as lemon balm eggs and camomile eggs, respectively) and fried eggs The ranking of the cooked samples was evaluated by a sensory test, focusing on the flavor, odor and taste. Sensory test 7 Sample size k = 3 Paneler n = 20 (total number of people) Lemon balm egg fried egg 1 Camomile egg fried egg 1 Target egg fried egg 1

[0019]

Example 5 A sample prepared by fried eggs prepared by feeding a feed containing 5% of dry powder of lemon balm and 5% of dry powder of camomile, and discriminated by taste by a herb expert An appraisal test was performed. Results Randomly arranged lemon balm eggs, camomile eggs,
And the discrimination of the fried egg sample of the target egg by the taste of the herb expert was 100% in predictive value.

[0020]

Example 6 Nutrient components were analyzed for chicken eggs (oregano eggs) bred by feeding a feed containing 5% oregano dry powder. Among the nutrient components, there is no significant difference in protein, fat, carbohydrate, ash, and energy from general eggs. However, it can be seen that the mineral (inorganic) sodium component is large.

[0021]

Example 7 Eggs of chicken bred by feeding a feed containing 5% of dry powder of lemon balm, 5% of dry powder of camomile, and 5% of dry powder of oregano were fed and reared (respectively, lemon balm egg, camomile) Eggs and oregano eggs)
And the target eggs were analyzed for mineral and vitamin components.

[0022] Phosphorus is +60 to 80% of the target egg, sodium is +16 to 38% of the target egg, +35 to 60% of the general egg, and potassium is +13 to the target egg.
４７47%, and + 42-83% for common eggs. In addition, iron shows a tendency to slightly increase with respect to the target egg. However, calcium shows a decrease of -26 to 39% relative to the target eggs. When examining the mineral (inorganic) content of lemon balm, camomile, and oregano with reference to ingredient analysis data (food ingredient table, etc.) such as perilla, thyme, sage, spring chrysanthemum belonging to the same subject, potassium content, phosphorus content, sodium Components tend to be relatively high. The iron component and the calcium component differ depending on the type contained in an extremely large amount and the one contained in an ordinary amount. Therefore, the mineral (inorganic) content of the herb egg may be clarified for the first time based on the results of the analysis of the components of the herb contained in the feed. The thing is clear.

[0023] Vitamin B1 is + 250% of target egg, Vitamin B
No. 2 shows an increase of +200 to 225% for the target egg, an increase of 28 to 64% for vitamin E, and an increase of +27 to 109% for the normal egg. Retinol is -10
% To -20%. The total carotene is not known because of the detection limit of the measuring device. Persimmon, thyme, sage, and lemon balm, camomile, and oregano
When examining with reference to ingredient analysis data such as Shuniku (food composition table etc.) (Note: Retinol is not included in plants) It is rich in carotene, vitamins B1, B2, E, K, B6, and compared to other vegetables It can be presumed that many are also included. Therefore, it seems that the vitamin component of the herb egg was affected and changed by the amount of the vitamin component of the herb contained in the feed.

[0024]

EXAMPLE 8 The internal egg quality of chicken eggs and target eggs fed with feed containing 5% of lemon balm dry powder, 5% of camomile dry powder and 5% of oregano dry powder were fed and mixed, respectively, was used. In order to examine the difference, the measurement of the Howe unit (the unit for correcting the egg weight of the egg white height at the time of breaking the egg) was performed. Clearly, the herb egg Howe unit shows higher values than the target egg Howe unit, indicating a higher quality trend.

[0025]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following effects. Eggs produced by chickens fed and bred with the feed of the present invention have higher How units and produce higher quality eggs than conventional eggs. There is no fishy odor of conventional eggs, the flavor is felt, a rich flavor is given, and the palatability is good. The effect is particularly remarkable on the egg white portion of eggs. Compared to conventional eggs, it is rich in vitamins and minerals (inorganic) and has the effect of healthy eggs. The cultivation of the herb in the present invention is easy, and therefore, the preparation and feeding of the feed to the hen for egg collection is easy, and therefore, there is an effect that healthy eggs derived from the herb feed can be easily produced by anyone.
