Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a food intake inhibitor which can give a feeling of fullness when taken, and has the effect of suppressing a feeling of hunger and thereby suppressing excessive intake of food. Achievement-restricting agents.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Although Japan is a country blessed with food, excessive intake of food is becoming a problem in recent years. If you ingest too much food, you will continue to consume more energy from food than you consume, and excess energy will accumulate as fat, making you obese, but obesity causes lifestyle-related diseases, It is said that diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, coronary arteriosclerosis (angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, etc.), gout, etc. are more likely to occur.

[0003] In the era in which a large amount of oil was not used and foods mainly consisting of fish and plants were consumed, such a phenomenon of excessive intake energy was not a particularly serious social problem, but it was of Western style. Excessive energy intake and the resulting obesity have become major social problems in modern times when foods centering on meat and fast foods have become popular, and methods to prevent obesity are widely covered in magazines and television. Not a few things. For example, various diet methods and so-called diet foods that prevent obesity have been variously developed and attracted people's attention.

[0004]

The generally known diet method has advantages and disadvantages. For example, obesity is caused by the fact that more energy is consumed from food than energy consumed. Therefore, in order to balance the two, energy intake is suppressed while consumption by moderate exercise such as sports. Methods of relieving obesity by increasing energy are encouraged. Here, in order to control the intake energy, specifically, omit rice grains with high calories from the diet,
In extreme cases, a diet method is known in which only fruits such as apples and salads are ingested.

However, in general, it is difficult to keep the intake energy suppressed, in other words, it is difficult to limit the food, and a strong self-suppressing force is required. If you feel particularly hungry, unless you have a very strong will, you will end up with snacks. Moreover, even if the weight loss is successful, if the food is excessively ingested and the ingested energy is increased thereafter, a so-called rebound phenomenon may occur and the obesity may be worse than before the weight loss. Furthermore, because of trying to control energy intake, as described above, continue to eat only fruits and salads, lose nutrition balance and become malnourished, or develop so-called anorexia and become critically ill. It can even fall. In this way, there remains a problem that must be considered in terms of how to achieve suppression of energy intake.

[0006] In Japan, there has been an old saying, "8th minute of stomach." This is to warn that if an excessive amount of food is consumed, not only a gastrointestinal burden is imposed, but also if a large amount of food is not consumed, a feeling of fullness cannot be obtained, resulting in obesity. Therefore, the inventor of the present application can obtain a feeling of fullness (in other words, it can suppress the feeling of hunger) by taking the food before ingesting about eight minutes of abdomen, thereby suppressing excessive intake of food. As a result of repeated studies on food intake inhibitors, the present invention has been completed.

That is, according to the present invention, it is possible to obtain a feeling of fullness (suppress the feeling of hunger) even if only a light meal is ingested by taking it in advance, and thereby, excessive intake of food is caused. The purpose of the present invention is to provide an intake suppressant for suppressing the above.

[0008]

The invention according to claim 1 made in order to achieve the above-mentioned object is an intake suppressant characterized by containing beet pulp as an active ingredient. The invention of claim 2 of the present application relates to the invention of claim 1, wherein the beet pulp as the active ingredient contains each component of water, crude protein, crude fat, soluble nitrogen compounds, crude fiber and crude ash. Is characterized by. The invention of claim 3 is
According to the invention of claim 1 or 2, the beet pulp as the active ingredient is crushed beet pulp. The invention of claim 4 of the present application relates to the invention of any of claims 1 to 3, characterized in that the intake inhibitor is tableted. The invention of claim 5 of the present application is
The invention according to claim 4 is characterized in that the tableted intake inhibitor is a sugar-coated tablet. The invention of claim 6 of the present application relates to the invention of claim 1, wherein the intake inhibitor contains dietary fiber of vitamins and minerals in addition to the active ingredient. The present invention will be described in detail below.

Beet pulp, which is an active ingredient of the intake inhibitor of the present invention, is a squeezed lees of sugar beet radish, which is usually disposed of as a waste after extracting sugar from sugar beet radish. The components of this beet pulp are approximately 13.4% water, 10.9% crude protein, 1.0% crude fat, 64.7% soluble nitrogen, and 5.
0%, crude ash content is 5.0%, but especially the amount of components such as water content varies depending on the harvest time and production area of sugar beet, so even if the amount of each component is beet pulp other than the above It can be used as an active ingredient of the intake suppressant of the present invention.

Beet pulp absorbs water and expands up to about three times in the digestive organs such as the stomach. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a feeling of fullness by taking the intake inhibitor of the present invention containing beet pulp as an active ingredient together with water after ingesting food. Therefore, after ingesting food, even if the food is not actually full, it is possible to prevent excessive intake of food by taking the intake inhibitor of the present invention. Thus, with the intake suppressant of the present invention, while reducing the actual food intake, it is possible to obtain a feeling of fullness as a sensation, so unlike the diet method by ingesting a small amount of food, feeling of hunger You can achieve the excellent effect of not remembering.

The beet pulp, which is the active ingredient of the intake control agent of the present invention, is 80% of the intake control agent calculated by dry weight.
It is preferable to mix them in such a manner that the content becomes at least%. This is because if the amount of beet pulp is small, the expansion rate becomes small when taken, and it becomes difficult to obtain a feeling of fullness when taken when the amount of food intake is small. However, even if the blending amount of beet pulp is less than the above-mentioned intake inhibitor, since it expands in the digestive organs depending on the blending amount, for example, when trying to achieve a relatively low food intake inhibiting effect. , 3% or more of the daily food dry matter intake can be exemplified.

On the other hand, there is no particular upper limit to the blending amount of beet pulp, and it is possible to blend no components other than beet pulp. However, if the blending amount of beet pulp increases, the texture (dose feeling) at the time of taking will deteriorate due to the influence of the fiber components contained in the beet pulp. For facilitating, beet pulp may be crushed into fine particles, or the intake inhibitor may be tableted or encapsulated. Furthermore, in order to improve the taste when ingested, it is also exemplified to mix additives (food additives) that are confirmed to be harmless to the human body, for example, additives such as mint and citrus extract. it can.

The uptake inhibitor of the present invention can be provided in the form of either powder or tablet. In the case of powder, beet pulp may be blended as it is or as finely crushed as described above. In the case of capsules, the powdered intake inhibitor may be enclosed in a normal capsule that dissolves in the stomach or the like. And in the case of tablets, the conventionally used tableting method may be used, and the specific tableting method is not particularly limited, but it is confirmed that it does not harm the human body such as lignin. The substance may be mixed with beet pulp as a binder and tableted. Here, if the intake inhibitor is tableted, a sugar-coated tablet having the outer periphery thereof covered with sugar is not only easy to take, but also taste at the time of taking can be improved, which is particularly preferable. .

In addition to the above-mentioned food additives, the intake suppressant of the present invention may contain trace substances such as vitamins and minerals which are indispensable for maintaining the health of the human body. By increasing or decreasing the components other than beet pulp and the amount of lignin used for tableting, for example, while keeping the size (weight) of the intake inhibitor constant, the amount of beet pulp blended It is possible to provide tablets and the like with different contents. This is to provide several kinds of intake suppressants in which the amount of beet pulp, which is an active ingredient, varies depending on the degree of suppression of intake, but the size of the tablet itself is constant. In this case, it is a device for making it possible to deal with the problem by simply changing the amount of each component to be blended, without having to change the tableting process in the production line.

As described above, the intake suppressant of the present invention swells in the digestive organs to give the recipient a feeling of fullness, thereby preventing the recipient from excessively ingesting food. However, since the raw material rich in vegetable fibers such as beet pulp is used as an active ingredient, the following effects can be achieved. First of all, since the recipient can feel full, it is possible to reduce the food intake itself. Therefore, it becomes difficult for the user to feel hungry before the next meal, and it becomes possible to prevent snacking. At least one of the causes of obesity is snacking such as high-calorie foods such as snacks, but the intake inhibitor of the present invention can also suppress the temptation of snacking.

Secondly, vegetable fiber has an effect of removing feces and cleaning the small intestine. According to the intake inhibitor of the present invention containing beet pulp rich in vegetable fiber as an active ingredient, In addition to the effect of suppressing the intake of food and the effect of suppressing snacking, the intestinal regulating effect such as cleaning of the small intestine and promotion of defecation by dietary fiber is also achieved. Impaired feces and small intestine are also said to be one of the causes of obesity.

The intake inhibitor of the present invention is preferably taken with water immediately before ingesting food in order to maximize the above effects. This is because the intake suppressant of the present invention is swollen quickly to exert the effect of suppressing food intake. Here, it should be understood that if the ingestion inhibitor of the present invention is taken only for the purpose of mainly preventing snacking, or for the purpose of intestinal cleaning such as cleaning of the small intestine and promotion of defecation, food intake Before, if it is an intake inhibitor containing a trace amount of beet pulp, there is no particular problem in taking it.

Since the intake suppressant of the present invention exerts an intake suppressive effect through swelling in the digestive organs,
Regarding the dosage, there is no limitation like ordinary drugs, and the dosage may be determined from the relationship between the dosage of beet pulp which is the active ingredient in the recipient and the recall effect of satiety achieved thereby, According to the observation of the inventor of the present application, a person having a weight of 82 kg takes five tablets containing beet pulp of about 8 g after meal, and thus, a full feeling of satiety can be obtained even if the subsequent intake of food is small. It is possible to obtain.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, examples will be described in order to more specifically describe the feed of the present invention. However, these examples are one embodiment of the present invention and do not limit the present invention. Absent.

Example 1 Preparation of Intake Inhibitor Beet pulp (80 g) and awanuka, safflower meal, concovmeal and the like (17 g) were mixed with 3 g of lignin and tableted to give a disk shape and its volume. Was about 0.51 cm ³ . The blending amount of beet pulp per tablet thus produced is about 80%, and the blending amount of other fiber sources is 20%.
The beet pulp used was crushed in advance in order to facilitate tableting.

Example 2 Measurement of expansion coefficient of intake inhibitor The expansion coefficient of the intake inhibitor produced in Example 1 was 50%.
The volume with a 0 ml measuring cylinder was measured. As a result, the uptake inhibitor in contact with water, expands about 3 times, it was found that the tablets 1 grain of about 0.51 cm ³ of about 1.54 cm ^3.

Example 3 Taking an Intake Inhibitor The intake inhibitor produced in Example 1 was explained in advance for the purpose of the intake experiment, the intake inhibitor and the components of beet pulp, and the disclosure of the data obtained. Three subjects (2 males and 1 female) who consented to the administration were ingested and the effect was observed.

First, three subjects were crushed with the intake inhibitor prepared in Example 1 to make it easier to take, and cup 1
After taking it with a glass of water, they were allowed to freely eat food to the extent that they judged it was the 8th minute. After the meal, the dose was 8 tablets for 1 person, 5 tablets for 1 person, and 3 tablets for the remaining 1 person. In the present embodiment,
The intake suppressant prepared in Example 1 was taken before ingestion of food, which may be taken with food, or in some cases, as described above when taken after ingestion of food. Since it is possible to suppress the food intake at the time of the next meal, it can be taken before, during, or after the meal.

After taking the intake inhibitor, when asked to the subjects about feelings of satiety,
Immediately after taking the intake inhibitor, they replied that they had a sufficient feeling of fullness although they ate only food at the eighth minute of their abdomen. It was also found that all subjects did not feel intolerable hunger until the next meal (6 to 7 hours after the intake inhibitor), and did not feel like eating between meals. Furthermore, it was also found that in all the subjects, defecation was promoted on the day when the contact inhibitor was taken or the day after that.

[0025]

As described above, in the present invention, by blending beet pulp as an active ingredient, the swelling in the digestive organs gives the recipient a feeling of fullness, resulting in excessive intake of food. Is to prevent. The uptake inhibitor of the present invention is a drug that absorbs an active ingredient from the stomach or intestine and exerts some action by the action of the absorbed active ingredient, and is a physical substance such as swelling in the digestive organs. Since it exerts the effect of suppressing the intake by the action, it is extremely unlikely to affect the human body and is very excellent in terms of safety.

Further, since the intake inhibitor of the present invention gives the recipient a feeling of fullness due to swelling, it also has the effect of preventing the recipient from eating between the meals. I have. This is because, for example, in the usual diet method of reducing the amount by ingesting a small amount of food, the suppression of food intake depends on the strong self-suppressive force, whereas in the intake inhibitor of the present invention, This is because it achieves the effect of suppressing intake through the physical action of swelling.

The beetle pulp, which is an active ingredient, of the ingestion suppressant of the present invention is rich in vegetable fibers. Therefore, it also achieves an intestinal regulating effect such as removing feces and washing the small intestine. Thus, the intake suppressant of the present invention can achieve various effects that are very effective for preventing obesity, but the intake suppressant of the present invention containing components such as vitamins and minerals is particularly effective. In addition to the above effects, it is also effective in maintaining a good physical condition.
