Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention is stored in the form of granules, and when a miso soup, soup, etc. is cooked in a group lunch facility, a certain amount is added and dissolved by simply stirring with chopsticks and the like, and vitamins can be easily added. It relates to a multivitamin preparation suitable for ingestion.

[0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In facilities such as hospitals and nursing homes, vitamins tend to be deficient due to reduced food consumption, cooking loss, and biased taste. As one of the methods to supplement this, feeding of vitamin-enriched foods is performed. However, fortified foods may not suit your tastes or may be distressed if you ingest the same food for a long time. Also, if the food form is fixed, the intake of each vitamin cannot be adjusted. Therefore, it is conceivable that the multivitamin preparation or multivitamin preparation should be made into powder or granules and added at the time of cooking food, but it is necessary for the cook to prepare different meals and different cooking amounts for each person. It is difficult to measure and add the total of various vitamins.

[0003]

[Means for Solving the Problems] Therefore, a mixture of a plurality of vitamins, saccharides, and auxiliary materials is added to a particle diameter of 180 μm to 10 μm.
Cooking with 70 μm or more of 00 μm and 30% or less of 180 μm or less, substantially not containing 1000 μm or more, repose angle of 60 degrees or less, and quick dissolution with hot water of 60 ° C. or more It was found that the use of complex or multi-vitamin granules for foods is easy to handle, has excellent fluidity, and allows the cook to accurately measure the amount corresponding to the food material or the number of people with a measuring spoon or the like. . It was also found that by producing the granules by a fluidized bed granulation method, porous and more soluble granules can be obtained.

That is, the present invention is as follows: (1) Particle size 180 μ
m-1000 μm, 70% by weight or more, 180 μm
The following is 30% by weight or less, substantially does not include 1000 μm or more, and the angle of repose is 60 degrees or less,
The composite vitamin granules for cooking which are rapidly dissolved in hot water of 60 ° C. or higher, and (2) the composite vitamin granules for cooking which are dissolved in hot water of 60 ° C. or higher within 1 minute under stirring.

[0005]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The complex vitamin preparation of the present invention comprises vitamins, sugars and other auxiliary materials. Considering the weighing property, it is preferable that the amount of granules is about 0.3 to 1.5 g per person. Vitamin is selected from fat-soluble vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E, vitamin K, and water-soluble vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, niacin, folic acid, pantothenic acid, vitamin C or more. . Since powdery preparations prepared so that fat-soluble vitamins are also dispersed in water are commercially available, they can be used. Monosaccharides, disaccharides,
Water-soluble saccharides such as oligosaccharides, dextrins, starches and the like can be mentioned. Auxiliary raw materials include amino acids, proteins, lipids, and other minerals such as dietary fiber, calcium and iron, powdered fruit juice, flavor raw materials, seasonings, flavors, pigments, if necessary.
Other powder raw materials can be used as appropriate. It is recommended that these vitamins be blended in such a manner that an amount sufficient to supplement the daily requirement of one adult is contained in one addition of granules, usually 0.3 to 1.5 g of granules. . The granules of the present invention have a particle size of 180 μm to 1000 μm of 70% by weight or more, preferably 80% by weight or more and 180 μm or less of 30% by weight or less, preferably 20% by weight or less and of 1000 μm or more. Is not substantially included.

The granules of the present invention can be produced, for example, as follows. First, each powder raw material is mixed. If the particle size of each raw material is significantly different, crush it to 50 μm-7
Those adjusted to 10 μm, preferably 75 μm to 500 μm are mixed. The resulting powder is then fluid bed granulated.
Any device can be used as long as it can flow the powder with gas and spray the binder liquid. The binder liquid may be water, or if necessary, a binder liquid in which a binder such as cornstarch or guar gum is dissolved may be used.
For example, in the case of cornstarch, it is adjusted to a concentration of 1% to 4%, and heated to be sufficiently gelatinized. About 10 to 40% by weight of this binder liquid is sprayed on the powder raw material to adhere and increase the particles. Drying is performed with hot air or the like, but in order to maintain the storage stability of vitamins, the water content is preferably 5% or less, preferably 3% or less. If necessary, the obtained granules are sieved to remove granules having a particle size of 1000 μm or more. The granules should be immediately sealed and packed. Considering storage stability, the packaging container should be light-tight and highly airtight such as aluminum laminate. If necessary, a desiccant may be added, or the gas may be replaced with an inert gas such as nitrogen.

The granules produced as described above are porous and have excellent solubility as compared with granules obtained by other granulation methods. That is, when it is added to warm soup, miso soup, etc., it is quickly dissolved by lightly stirring it with a ladle or chopsticks, and usually completely dissolved within 1 minute. Further, granules having an angle of repose of 60 degrees or less, preferably 50 degrees or less, are highly fluid, easy to handle, easy to take out from a laminated bag in which a fixed amount is packaged, and can be measured accurately with a measuring spoon. It can be done easily.

EXAMPLES The present invention will be specifically described below with reference to examples. Example 1 Formulation Example Lactose 66.636% by weight Glucose 20.0% by weight Corn starch 10.0% by weight Vitamin A palmitate 0.024% by weight Vitamin E 0.25% by weight Vitamin B1 0.02% by weight Vitamin B2 0.03 % By weight Vitamin B6 0.04% by weight Vitamin C 3.0% by weight Total 100.0% by weight 120 kg of a powder containing the above components was ground and mixed to obtain a mixed powder having a particle diameter of 355 μm to 150 μm. This powder was granulated with a fluidized bed granulator. The granulation conditions were as follows: 120 kg of the mixed powder was flowed with hot air at 80 ° C., and 3% corn starch was sprayed at 24 kg for 20 minutes. After spraying, the water content is 3% while flowing with hot air at 80 ° C.
Dried to the following: Table 1 shows the particle size and angle of repose of the obtained granules.

[0009]

[Table 1] Miso soup 6 that weighed 50g of the above granules and heated to 65 ° C
Add to container with L. Vitamin preparation granules had good fluidity, did not scatter, could be accurately measured, and were easy to handle. Also, the granules could be quickly (about 20 seconds) dissolved by simply stirring them with chopsticks after adding them to the miso soup. As for the flavor, I was able to eat it very deliciously without impairing the original taste of the miso soup. It should be noted that 10 spoons of granules were taken using a spoon prepared so that 5 g of granules could be weighed out in one spoon and weighed 51.
It was 2 g. That is, it has been found that even if a measuring spoon is used, an almost accurate amount can be measured.

[0010]

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION Since the composite vitamin granules for cooking of the present invention have excellent fluidity, they are easy to handle and easy to handle when used. For example, when measuring a certain amount, it is easy to scoop with a spoon or the like, it can be weighed accurately, and it has good manufacturing suitability for packaging. Moreover, since the granules have excellent solubility, when added to, for example, miso soup or soup, they do not become mashed but can be quickly dissolved by simply stirring them with chopsticks.
