Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a method for producing a fermented cabbage extract powder.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, cosmetics have been used for beautiful skin. However, the use of cosmetics is only topical and coping, and does not provide a truly beautiful skin. That is, since the health of the skin reflects the health of the body, especially the internal organs, it is preferable to make the body healthy and the skin healthy.

[0003] For this reason, various health foods are used. For example, JP-A-10-165138 describes a beauty and health food containing a mucopolysaccharide containing hyaluronic acid and chondroitin sulfate, a nucleic acid (DNA and RNA), and if necessary, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). .
Since this beauty and health food mainly contains mucopolysaccharides constituting the skin, it is considered to have a beauty effect on the skin, but it is not intended for a beauty effect to make the body itself healthy.

Further, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 8-205835 describes a beverage containing collagen powder and Tochu tea extract, but this is also limited to the area where skin ingredients are replenished and makes the body healthy. It is not the purpose of making skin beautiful.

[0005] Therefore, at present, health foods intended for true health, especially health foods good for beauty have not been obtained.

[0006]

Therefore, there is a need for the development of foods that improve the beauty effect by making the body healthy.

[0007]

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and includes a step of pulverizing cabbage; adding water and dried lactic acid bacteria powder to the pulverized cabbage; Fermented extract powder having antioxidant action and maintenance of intestinal environment, including a step of performing fermentation at an appropriate temperature and time; after fermentation, a step of centrifuging the fermented product, collecting a supernatant, and spray drying. By providing dietary fiber, lactic acid bacteria, oligosaccharides and collagen in the cabbage fermented extract powder obtained thereby to further improve the health of the body and to provide a health food excellent in beauty effect. You.

[0008]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Fermented cabbage extract powder is produced, for example, by the following method. First, the cabbage is cut into four pieces, washed with water, pulverized by a cutter mixer, and fermented. For fermentation, add 1 g of water and 0.5 g of dry lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus plantum) powder per 3 kg of cabbage,
Stir well and set at an appropriate temperature and time (for example, 30 ° C., 2
Days). After completion of the fermentation, the fermented product is centrifuged, the supernatant is recovered, heated, concentrated, sterilized by heating, 200 g of dextrin is added per 3 kg of cabbage, and spray-dried to obtain a cabbage fermented extract powder.

In the present invention, the term "cabbage fermented extract powder" includes paste or liquid fermented liquid to which dextrin is added after heat sterilization.

[0010] Fermented cabbage extract powder is rich in high-quality amino acids and plays a role of antioxidant action and maintenance of intestinal environment. Rich in high-quality amino acids activates the synthesis of new skin, prevents or reduces anti-oxidation spots and freckles, improves intestinal environment, activates metabolism, improves constipation, waste products Has the effect of making the body healthy through the removal of

[0011] Dietary fiber includes insoluble dietary fiber and water-soluble dietary fiber. Either one may be used, but it is preferable that both of the insoluble dietary fiber and the water-soluble dietary fiber are contained. Insoluble dietary fiber has a colorectal cancer preventive effect and an intestinal environment improving effect. By adding water-soluble dietary fiber to this, the effect of suppressing the absorption of cholesterol and the effect of suppressing the increase in postprandial blood glucose level are enhanced. When adding a water-soluble dietary fiber and an insoluble dietary fiber, the blending amount is not particularly limited.

Examples of the insoluble dietary fiber include cellulose, wheat bran, soy fiber, corn bran and the like.

Examples of the water-soluble dietary fiber include guar gum, locust bean gum, tara gum, pectin, alginic acid, indigestible dextrin, guar gum enzyme decomposed product, glucomannan and the like.

[0014] Since lactic acid bacteria are generally considered to improve the intestinal environment, they are considered to act on the same function as insoluble dietary fiber, ie, to prevent colon cancer and improve the intestinal environment. Lactic acid bacteria include Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus plantum, Streptococcus thermophilus, Streptococcus ferricus, Bifidobacterium
Longum or the like is used. When lactic acid bacteria are used, powdery or liquid foods are preferable. After culturing in an appropriate medium, freeze-drying and adding to processed foods, they can grow when given water.

Oligosaccharides are assimilated by intestinal bacteria,
Since it is generally considered to improve the intestinal environment, it has the same function as insoluble dietary fiber, namely, a colorectal cancer prevention effect,
It is thought to act to improve the intestinal environment.

Examples of the oligosaccharide include lactulose, palatinose, fructooligosaccharide, raffinose, stachyose, xylo-oligosaccharide, maltooligosaccharide, trehalose, galacto-oligosaccharide and the like.

Collagen is one of the constituents of the skin, and when present together with fermented cabbage extract powder containing high-quality amino acids, a new unprecedented effect that further activates the synthesis of new skin. Can play. The collagen to be incorporated also includes collagen peptides that have been hydrolyzed or enzymatically degraded.

[0018] The health food of the present invention may contain, for example, royal jelly, lactose, chitosan, sucrose ester, lecithin, vitamins, protein, chlorella powder, stevia, lemon powder, calcium, fine silicon dioxide, in addition to the above five components. , An undenatured alcohol or the like is added.

The shape of the health food is not particularly limited, and tablets,
It can be a powder, granule, soft encapsulating agent or liquid. Powders, granules, and soft capsules may be drunk as they are, or may be dissolved in water or the like and drunk.

The preferable contents of the fermented cabbage extract powder, dietary fiber, lactic acid bacteria, oligosaccharides and collagen contained in the health food of the present invention are shown below. It is.

The cabbage fermented extract powder is preferably about 1
0-60% by weight, more preferably about 20-50% by weight, even more preferably about 30-40% by weight.

[0022] The dietary fiber is preferably about 5-30% by weight, more preferably about 15-25% by weight.
