BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to sports drinks utilizing deep ocean water, and more particularly to sports drinks which effectively utilize mineral components contained in deep ocean water and faithfully reproduce the mineral balance of deep ocean water. It is about.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Various types of soft drinks have been conventionally marketed as health drinks. The types of soft drinks include colored drinks such as cola, transparent drinks such as sports drinks, and nationwide. Mountain water and valley water in various places, as well as water called the famous water of the land, are taken and marketed as mineral water. In addition to the above, green tea or barley tea,
Various teas such as oolong tea and various extracted beverages such as coffee and black tea are also favored and consumed by many people.

[0003] Focusing on the above-mentioned sports drink, this sports drink is a unique drink in Japan, also called "isotonic drink" or "ion supply drink", and particularly, effective replenishment of water and replenishment of electrolytes after sports. The main purpose is. This drink is characterized by being a non-colored beverage having a low sugar content.

The above-mentioned cola is obtained by dissolving raw material powder in purified water and diluting it with carbonated water. Sports drinks are also obtained by chemically processing purified water or using natural mineral water as raw water. It is manufactured by adding fruit juice, sugar, vitamins and synthetic flavors to water.

On the other hand, recently, the cleanliness of the deep ocean water and the abundant mineral components have attracted the attention of consumers and have called for a boom, and the water obtained by desalinating the deep ocean water has entered the field of drinking water. Is in the current situation. The above-mentioned deep ocean water is currently being used practically only at three locations around the world: offshore of Norway, offshore of Hawaii, and offshore of Cape Muroto in Kochi Prefecture. Seawater in an environment where convection and mixing do not occur due to temperature changes, and are not affected by marine pollution caused by harmful substances such as oils, chemicals, and pesticides used on the ground, and It has the characteristic that dissolved organic matter in seawater is very small and it is extremely clean from a microbial point of view. Water temperature is as low as 13 ° C. or less on average every year, and contains many natural elements required by the human body.

Table 1 shows various items of surface ocean water and deep ocean water.

[0010]

However, such conventional sports drinks do not contain the natural trace elements (minerals) required by the human body and are therefore always satisfactory for drinks after sports. Things have not been obtained yet. In particular, recently, the importance of naturally occurring trace elements is being reviewed. Furthermore, purified salts are usually added as essential salts to the human body, but natural salts collected from seawater contain more trace elements than such purified salts, and are excellent salts added to sports drinks. However, in today's highly polluted sea, surface water in seawater cannot be used for drinking.

As mentioned above, drinking water obtained by desalinating deep ocean water is often used recently, but many mineral components such as various nutrients and trace elements are removed during desalination. In many cases, it is difficult to achieve the mineral balance of deep sea water shown in Table 1 above.

Accordingly, the present invention solves the problems of the conventional sports drinks, and contains a large amount of natural trace elements (minerals) by using deep ocean water. The objective is to obtain a new sports drink that contains ingredients suitable for sports drinks while faithfully reproducing the mineral balance of the same.

[0013]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a method for producing desalinated water and mineral spring water in deep ocean water, desalinated water and tap water in deep ocean water, or desalinated water in deep ocean water only.

Ginseng and Cordyceps are extracted, and the extracted liquid is the raw water of deep ocean water, the concentrated water of the remaining deep sea water obtained from the desalinated water, the bittern liquid produced from the deep ocean water, and the calcium sulfate precipitated from the deep ocean water. Sports drinks using deep ocean water prepared by adding one or more species, and diluting the extract with one or more of demineralized water, mineral spring water, tap water of deep ocean water One or more of the raw water of the deep sea water, the concentrated water of the remaining deep sea water from which the desalinated water was obtained, the bittern liquid produced from the deep sea water, and the calcium sulfate precipitated from the deep sea water were added. Provide sports drinks using deep ocean water produced by the above method. Then, fruit juice, vitamins, spices, honey, citric acid and other auxiliary materials are added or collagen is dissolved.

According to the sports drink using the deep sea water, the concentrated water of the deep sea water contains a larger amount of various elemental components than the raw water, and potassium, magnesium, copper, zinc, etc. are contained in the bittern. Because it contains many trace elements, it is possible to effectively utilize the mineral components contained in the deep sea water with the addition of calcium sulfate and faithfully reproduce the mineral balance of the deep sea water. Thus, a sports drink which is preferable not only for a drink after sports but also as a health drink can be obtained. Furthermore, a novel sports drink containing a component suitable as a sports drink can be obtained by using extracted components of green tea, mint, ginseng, and cordyceps and dissolved collagen. Also, by adjusting the addition amount of the bite liquid and calcium sulfate, the raw water of the deep ocean water and the concentrated water of the deep ocean water, the hardness of the obtained sports drink is adjusted to a desired range, and as a sports drink. It is possible to select the optimal hardness.

The extract in the mixing tank of No. 5 contains concentrated water of the remaining deep seawater obtained as raw water and desalinated water of the deep seawater
One or more of the bittern liquid produced from deep ocean water and calcium sulfate precipitated from deep ocean water are added. That is, in Step 6, concentrated water is obtained by using the remaining deep seawater obtained in the desalination water by the filtration in Step 2, and in Step 7, the concentrated water is further concentrated to obtain Step 8.
In addition to obtaining a bittern solution, calcium sulfate is precipitated in step 9 and one or more of the obtained concentrated water, bittern solution, and calcium sulfate are put into the mixing tank of step 5 at a predetermined mixing ratio. To make sports drinks. In FIG. 1, the illustration of the line for adding the deep seawater raw water to the blending tank in Step 5 is omitted.

Next, in the fourth embodiment, the extract of the third embodiment is extracted to a concentration higher than a predetermined concentration for drinking, and the preparation tank of step 5 in which the extract having the higher concentration is stored, The remaining deep sea water obtained by diluting the raw deep sea water and desalinated water to a predetermined concentration for drinking using one or more of demineralized water, mineral spring water, and tap water in deep sea water A sports drink is prepared by adding one or more of concentrated water, bittern liquid produced from deep ocean water, and calcium sulfate precipitated from deep ocean water.

As a fifth embodiment, in the sports drink according to the first to fourth embodiments, fruit juice, vitamins, fragrances, honey, citric acid and other auxiliary materials are added to the blending tank of step 5 in step 10. I do. Furthermore, in the sports drink according to the first to fifth embodiments as a sixth embodiment, collagen is added and dissolved in the blending tank in step 5 in step 10.

The collagen which is added to the preparation tank in step 5 and dissolved in the extract in step 10 is a fibrous protein. In order to form a human body and function normally,
It is an essential protein. In the human body, the degradation and synthesis of collagen are constantly repeated.
It is said that collagen in the body is completely decomposed and renewed in about half a year. That is, for example, weight 50k
g person has about 3.3 kg of collagen in their body, and a simple calculation shows that about 17 g of collagen is decomposed and synthesized per day. However, as they age from 15 to 16 years of age, the function of cells that secrete collagen becomes weaker, new collagen is less likely to be produced, and more degradation occurs. Not surprisingly, collagen that is already made is getting old. Because old collagen loses its flexibility, it binds tightly so that there is no gap for water and calcium to enter, the skin loses elasticity, wrinkles and wrinkles occur, and bones from which calcium is missing are easily broken, The joint hurts. To prevent this, it is necessary to actively replenish collagen and promote metabolism. Accelerating the metabolism of collagen by collecting it may lead to rejuvenation of the tissue containing collagen, thereby preventing aging itself. Therefore, in the present invention, collagen is added to and dissolved in the extract, thereby realizing its ingestion.

The homogenized sports drink is obtained by stirring and mixing in the blending tank of step 5 by the above-mentioned production method.

The deep ocean water employed in the present invention is seawater taken from a depth of 320 meters off Cape Muroto, and among the three forms of nitrogen contained in the deep water, ammonia nitrogen and nitrite nitrogen are extremely small. The effect on living organisms was slight, and the amount of nitrate nitrogen was very small in the surface layer. However, as the water depth increased, the concentration increased,
More than 95% of inorganic dissolved nitrogen in water at a depth of 0 meters or less is nitrate nitrogen at 24 μM. In addition, 1.7 μM of phosphoric acid phosphorus and 41 μM of silicate silicon are dissolved, and each has a nutrient concentration of 5 to 10 times or more that of the surface layer.

The natural elements essential for the growth of living organisms contained in deep ocean water are Fe (iron), I (iodine) and Cu.
(Copper), Mn (manganese), Zn (zinc), Co (cobalt), Mo (molybdenum), Se (selenium), Cr
(Chromium), Sn (tin), V (vanadium), F (fluorine), Si (silicon), Ni (nickel) and As (arsenic), all of which are well-balanced in deep ocean water. The major feature is that it is included. Therefore, it can be said that deep sea water has great potential for the growth and growth of marine life. Such potential has been demonstrated in recent years as a result of being used in aquaculture experiments on sea bream, kelp, deep-sea coral, and the like, and has achieved great results. In particular, it has been reported that the deep ocean water off the coast of Norway is called fjord deep water and is suitable for salmon farming.

As shown in Table 1 above, the number of viable bacteria in the deep sea water is one digit or more lower than that in the surface water, and the pathogen is hardly contained. There is no concern about diseases caused by fish pathogens derived from seawater, and there is a great feature that the safety when used in sports drinks is extremely high. The present invention relates to a conventional sport in which natural elements contained in such deep ocean water are incorporated into an extracted beverage to promote the growth of living organisms in addition to the effective replenishment of water and the replenishment of electrolytes after sports. It can have properties that cannot be realized with drinks.

[0038]

As described above in detail, according to the present invention, many mineral components such as various nutrients and trace elements removed when desalinating deep sea water are replenished. The concentrated water of deep ocean water contains various elemental components in larger amounts than the raw water, and the bittern contains trace elements such as potassium, magnesium, calcium, copper, and zinc. With the addition, a mineral drink contained in the deep sea water can be effectively utilized, and a sports drink faithfully reproducing the mineral balance of the deep sea water can be obtained. In addition, natural salt in seawater contains a large amount of trace elements as an essential salt for the human body, and is optimal as a salt to be added to an extracted beverage and also suitable as a health drink.

Furthermore, a novel sports drink containing a component suitable as a sports drink can be obtained by using extracted components of green tea, mint, ginseng, and cordyceps and dissolved collagen.

Further, the hardness of the obtained sports drink is controlled within a desired range by adjusting the addition amounts of the bite liquid and calcium sulfate to the raw water of the deep sea water and the concentrated water of the deep sea water to be added to the drinking water. And it is possible to select the optimal hardness as a sports drink.

Therefore, according to the present invention, the drinking water is the raw water of the deep sea water, the concentrated water of the remaining deep sea water obtained from the desalinated water, the bittern produced from the deep sea water, and the calcium sulfate precipitated from the deep sea water. In addition to the effective replenishment of water after sports and the replenishment of electrolytes by adding one or more of the above, it contains many natural trace elements and reproduces the mineral balance of the deep sea water to reproduce the water. A sports drink suitable as a health drink can be obtained.
