2. Description of the Related Art At present, the diet of Japanese people has changed drastically, and in addition to eating high-fat foods centering on meat, due to stress and lack of exercise, not only middle-aged people but also young people Also in these cases, obesity and the accompanying increase in body fat percentage have become problems. From a dietary standpoint, various diet foods are commercially available, some of which give the food a feeling of fullness and reduce the amount of food.
However, daily nutrition may not be adequate. Further, even if the weight is reduced, there is a risk that the health may be adversely affected, such as malnutrition. On the contrary, I feel that I have to be on a diet, so I can get stressed and get fat.

[0003]

Therefore, there is a demand for a diet food that can receive sufficient nutrition and is less likely to be stressed.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems] The inventors of the present invention have diligently studied foods that can be sufficiently ingested and can be dieted without difficulty.
The present invention has been completed based on the finding that by combining a vitamin / mineral source and dietary fiber, nutrition can be sufficiently ingested and dieting can be reasonably achieved.

That is, the present invention provides (A) at least one selected from the group consisting of milk protein and soybean protein, (B) at least one selected from the group consisting of yeast and sesame, and (C) food. Including fiber,
Provide diet food.

In a preferred embodiment, the diet food contains (D) a calcium compound.

[0007] In a further preferred embodiment, the diet food, in addition to the calcium compound (D),
(E) Includes casein phosphopeptide.

[0008]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, a health food for diet according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. It should be noted that the configurations described below do not limit the present invention and can be variously modified within the scope of the gist of the present invention.

(A) Milk Protein and Soy Protein The diet food of the present invention contains milk protein or soy protein as a protein source.

Examples of milk proteins include skim milk, skim milk powder, milk casein, whey protein, and processed products thereof. Milk protein is 9
Since it contains abundant kinds of essential amino acids (isoleucine, leucine, valine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, lysine, and histidine), it is suitable as a diet food ingredient from a nutritional aspect. In addition, it is necessary to supplement lysine and threonine in the diet of Japan that uses rice as a staple food, and this can be supplemented.

Examples of soybean proteins include mushrooms, soybean flour, natto, and processed products thereof. Soy protein is also suitable as a diet food ingredient because it contains abundant essential amino acids as does milk protein.

It is also known that amino acids can serve as neurotransmitters or precursors thereof. Therefore, by actively supplying a material rich in essential amino acids as described above, it is possible to reduce the stress generated during dieting.

(B) Yeast and Sesame The diet food of the present invention contains yeast or sesame as a main purpose of supplying vitamins and minerals. In recent years, the tendency toward nature has been increasing, and the use of natural materials as a source of vitamins and minerals also reduces the stress felt during dieting.

The yeast used in the diet food of the present invention is not particularly limited, and any yeast generally used in food or food production may be used. Examples include sake yeast, brewer's yeast, wine yeast and other brewing yeasts, and baker's yeast and other food yeasts. By using these yeasts, not only supply vitamins and minerals,
In addition to its action as an antioxidant, it can give foods a unique flavor, such as the flavor of bread.

[0015] In the present specification, the term "yeast" contained in foods refers to yeast cells themselves or their extracts, in the form of dry yeast, liquid yeast, and yeast extract (liquid, powder, concentrated). Forms such as things) are included.
Yeast extract refers to yeasts and their extracts that have been treated by various methods, such as yeast crushed, treated or extracted with hot water, treated or extracted with an organic solvent used in foods (for example, ethanol). And those treated or extracted with edible organic acids (eg citric acid, lactic acid, malic acid, succinic acid).

The sesame used in the diet food of the present invention is not particularly limited, and various sesame can be used. There are white sesame seeds, black sesame seeds, brown sesame seeds and the like, and any one may be used. For example, white sesame has a high oil content and black sesame has a strong flavor, and the sesame to be used may be determined according to the desired flavor.

Sesame has the effects of improving constipation, improving blood circulation, complexion, and gloss of the skin. It also contains many minerals such as iron and calcium, and is rich in vitamin B1 and vitamin E. ing. Furthermore, sesame contains a large amount of lignans such as sesaminol, sesamin, and sesamolin. Due to these effects, the effects of suppressing the production of lipid peroxide and preventing aging and cancer; the effect of preventing the production of bad cholesterol; the effect of accelerating the decomposition of acetaldehyde, preventing hangover, and reducing the burden on the liver are expected. It

Sesame contains unsaturated fatty acids, linoleic acid and oleic acid, which are expected to have the effect of reducing cholesterol in the blood and preventing and improving arteriosclerosis.

The sesame may be obtained by roasting raw sesame seeds from which the shell has been removed, commercially available roasted sesame, crushed, ground into a paste, or pasty commercially available paste. Good.

(C) Dietary Fiber The diet food of the present invention contains dietary fiber. Dietary fiber is said to be the sixth nutrient deficient in Japanese, and by supplementing it, the physical condition can be adjusted.

Dietary fiber includes water-soluble dietary fiber and insoluble dietary fiber, both of which have the effect of improving the intestinal environment in addition to the effect of improving constipation. For the diet food of the present invention, either water-soluble dietary fiber or insoluble dietary fiber may be used. As water-soluble dietary fiber, pectin,
Gua gum, psyllium, galactomannan, xyloglucan, locust bean gum, glucomannan, sodium alginate, chondroitin sulfate, low molecular weight alginic acid, low molecular weight guar gum (guar gum enzymatic degradation product), indigestible dextrin, pullulan, phiparone, chondroitin sulfate, etc. Used. As insoluble dietary fiber, cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, agar, chitin,
Collagen, carrageenan, etc. are used. In addition, derivatives of these dietary fibers can also be used. Examples of derivatives of dietary fiber include derivatives of cellulose such as methylcellulose, hydroxypropylcellulose and carboxymethylcellulose; derivatives of chitin or chitosan such as carboxymethylated products, phosphoric oxides, sulfated products and dihydroxypropylated products; polydextrose. Derivatives of various starches are mentioned. In the present specification, the term "dietary fiber" includes derivatives of dietary fiber unless otherwise specified.

As the dietary fiber, a food material containing abundant dietary fiber such as the above-mentioned insoluble dietary fiber, water-soluble dietary fiber and derivative of dietary fiber may be used.

Examples of food materials containing dietary fiber include brown algae extracts and pyrolysates containing giant kelp; hydrolysates of shells such as crabs and shrimps; corn hulls, rice bran, rice hulls. , Wheat bran, soybean bran, oat bran, pig wheat bran, rye bran,
Cereal hulls such as oat bran, milo hulls, oat hulls; soybeans, adzuki beans, pea hulls, peanut hulls and other legume hulls; Indian psyllium and other food seed hulls; konjac potato, konjak flour Beet after sugar extraction (beet sugar beet); materials prepared from fruits such as apples. Further, commercially available dietary fibers may be used, and examples include konjac mannan, brewer's yeast dietary fiber, pine fiber, banana fiber, citrus fiber, plant seed fiber, fruit vegetable fiber, root vegetable fiber and the like.

Since most of the foods eaten in the normal diet are insoluble dietary fibers, water-soluble dietary fibers are preferably used in the diet food of the present invention. The diet effect is effectively obtained by the action of suppressing the increase in the postprandial blood glucose level of the water-soluble dietary fiber. By including dietary fiber, a feeling of fullness can be maintained and stress can be reduced. Insoluble dietary fiber and water-soluble dietary fiber may be used in combination.

(D) Calcium compound The diet food of the present invention contains, if necessary, in order to reinforce minerals and reduce stress during dieting.
Contains calcium compounds. The lack of calcium causes an irritating feeling, gives stress during dieting, and no matter how good a material is used, a good dieting effect cannot be obtained.

Examples of the calcium compound include natural calcium compounds such as egg shell calcium, shell calcium, dolomite, coral calcium and pearl powder; calcium carbonate, calcium citrate and calcium malate as calcium enhancers and food additives. The organic acid calcium salt and the calcium inorganic salt which are also recognized as

(E) Casein Phosphopeptide The diet food of the present invention further contains casein phosphopeptide, if necessary, for promoting calcium absorption. Casein phosphopeptide solubilizes calcium and promotes calcium absorption in the intestine. This allows
It is possible to prevent frustration due to lack of calcium.

[Table 1]

(Evaluation of Dieting Effect) Up to now, a group of 10 volunteers who have tried dieting and had a failure experience were given 1 or 2 foods in addition to a normal diet.
Ingested 20 g per day. That is, the body weight of each diet before ingestion was measured, and each diet was ingested daily for 4 weeks. Then, after 4 weeks, the body weight was measured again.
The rate of increase or decrease in body weight was calculated by the following formula. In addition, I instructed the volunteers to only comply with the required amount of food per day, and to inform them that they do not have to restrict their diet by eating these foods: 100 × { (Four weeks after food intake)-(Weight before food intake)} / (Weight before food intake)

The results are shown in Table 2.

[0038]

[Table 2]

From the results shown in Table 2, it was found that the weight loss tended to be exhibited in each of the groups that ingested foods 1 and 2, and that there was a diet effect. In addition, volunteers who felt that they had a dieting effect were able to perform smoothly compared to any dieting method they have used so far. Or he said he didn't feel like he was on a diet.

Example 2 (A) As milk protein and soybean protein, 1 k
g of powdered soy protein (Mukai Chindo Co., Ltd.), 0.
5 kg of yellow powder (Mukai Chinshodo Co., Ltd.), 0.5 kg of skim milk (South Japan Dairy Cooperative), (B) Yeast and sesame, 0.2 kg of brewer's yeast (Asahi Brewery Co., Ltd.) and 0.2 kg of Ground sesame (Mukai Chindo Co., Ltd.), (C) As dietary fiber, 0.5 kg of indigestible dextrin (Pine fiber C; Matsutani Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.), (D) As a calcium compound, 0.1
As egg shell calcium (Kewpie Co., Ltd.) and (E) casein phosphopeptide, 0.02 kg
Casein phosphopeptides (Meiji Seika Co., Ltd.) were mixed to prepare powdered food 3 (3.32 kg). Since the food 3 contains casein phosphopeptides in addition to the calcium compound, it is possible to eliminate the calcium deficiency that tends to occur during dieting, and to diet more smoothly.
