Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、粉末状、カプセル、錠剤、あるいは、飲みやすくするために調味した溶液に溶解した水などの溶媒に溶解した飲み物として経口投与されるフコイダンを主体とした健康食品用に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来から血糖値を下げ、ダイエット効果をもたらす健康食品として種々のものが知られており、とくに、フコイダン様多糖複合体が、変異細胞の除去により組織の癌化を防ぐナチュラルキラ−細胞(NK)活性の亢進と、進入異物等を除去し免疫成立の重要な一員であるマクロファ−ジ(Mφ)貧食能の亢進活性により、生体防御能賦活活性を向上させる機能を有することが知られており、特開2001−181303号には、ワカメの芽株部を冷間乾燥後、低温乾燥粉砕化することによって安価に提供する手法が開示されている。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ところが、ワカメの芽株部から抽出されたフコダイン様多糖複合体自体は、生体防御亢進剤および免疫賦活性剤として優れた機能を有するものではあっても、他の健康食品用素材と混合した場合には、その機能が劣化する恐れがあり、付加添加物成分との競合劣化が起こる恐れがある。
また、このようなフコダイン様多糖複合体は、原料であるワカメの若芽独特の風味が強くなり過ぎて、健康食品としての味と風味に欠ける欠点もある。
【0004】
本発明の第1の課題は、ワカメの芽株部から抽出されたフコダイン様多糖複合体が有する生体防御亢進剤および免疫賦活性剤として優れた機能を、広く人間生活の健康維持に活かそうするもので、そのため、混合物として利用するための条件を見出すことにある。
【0005】
本発明の他の課題は、ワカメの芽株部から抽出したフコダイン様多糖複合体が有する生体防御亢進剤および免疫賦活性剤としての機能を低下せしめることのない添加物を見出すことである。
【0006】
また、他の課題は、ワカメの芽株部から抽出したフコダイン様多糖複合体の有する機能を強化し、あるいは、そのフコダイン様多糖複合体自体が有する機能を低下させることなく、新たな機能できる添加物を見出すことである。
【0007】
また、他の課題は、ワカメの芽株部から抽出したフコダイン様多糖複合体にその添加配合物を配合した混合物とした場合の、その機能が残存する最少含有量を確認することにある。
【0008】
さらには、ワカメの芽株部から抽出したフコダイン様多糖複合体を他の添加剤との混合物とした場合の、その機能が発揮できる含有量の上限値を確認することである。
【0009】
また、さらには、ワカメの芽株部から抽出したフコダイン様多糖複合体を飲食物として飲み易い状態とするための条件を確認することである。
【0010】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は、ワカメ芽株より抽出分画したフコイダンは、沖縄フトモズクより抽出分画したフコイダンと特定量混合することによって、その機能は低減されることはなく、逆に増大し、さらに、ブラジル産のキノコであってβ−グルカンを含むアガリクス粉末を配合することによって健康食品として嘱望される機能が付加増大し、また、飲み易さの点でも優れたものとなるという知見の下で完成した。
【0011】
すなわち、沖縄フトモズクより抽出分画したフコイダンの特定量混合によって、ワカメ芽株より抽出分画したフコイダンの機能を低減することなく、沖縄フトモズクより抽出分画したフコイダンの機能が付加され、しかも、飲み易さが改善されたフコイダン系健康食品が得られる。
【0012】
ワカメ芽株より抽出分画したフコイダンが有する機能を強化するための添加配合物としては、ワカメ芽株より抽出分画したフコイダンの機能に抗癌機能を有すると云われているβ−グルカンを含むアガリクス(ブラジル原産 キノコ)粉末、ヒメマツタケ等のキノコの粉末が好適に使用でき、風味の点からも優れたものである。
【0013】
体重抑制効果と脂肪組織重量、血清中性脂質(トリグリセリド)、低密度リポタンパク、全コレステロール含量を軽減させるワカメ芽株フコイダンの機能は、同様の機能が期待される沖縄フトモズクフコイダンと、免疫能の亢進が期待されるアガリクスをそれぞれ特定割合配合することによって、それぞれの機能は些かも阻害されることはなく相互に相乗効果を発揮でき、変異細胞(異常、ガン化細胞)の除去を通じて組織のガン化を防ぐナチュラルキラ−細胞(NK)活性の亢進させる、即ち、生体防御能賦活活性を持つ。
【0014】
すなわち、本願発明のフコイダン系健康食品は、ワカメ芽株より抽出分画したフコイダン画分を1〜90%と残部が沖縄フトモズクより抽出分画したフコイダン画分からなる混合物にアガリクス粉末を配合した高血糖を抑制し、血糖を低く保つ効果を持つことを特徴とする。
【0015】
そのフコイダン系健康食品の好ましい配合組成は、ワカメ芽株より抽出分画したフコイダン画分が15〜35質量%と沖縄フトモズクより抽出分画したフコイダン画分が85〜65質量%からなる混合物に、混合物全量に対してアガリクス粉末を10〜20質量%混合したものである。
【0016】
ワカメ芽株より抽出分画したフコイダン(硫酸化多糖類)画分が、その機能をを発揮できるのは1%以上であり、また、90%以上では、原料であるワカメ芽株自体の風味が強すぎる。
【0017】
ワカメ芽株より抽出分画したフコイダンに添加配合する配合剤としては、一般のモズクから抽出したフコイダンが使用できるが、その中でも、沖縄フトモズクより抽出分画したフコイダンは、このワカメ芽株より抽出分画したフコイダンと比較して、その機能は低いが、類似の機能を発揮し、また、その風味は、ワカメ芽株より調製されたフコイダンより優れており、ワカメ芽株より抽出分画したフコイダンの配合物として最も適したものである。
【0018】
また、ワカメ芽株およびフトモズクとの混合物は、その特性が失われない範囲内で、他の海外産褐藻類からの抽出物と代替することができる。
【0019】
また、混合したアガリクスは、アガリクスと同様の機能があると云われているヒメマツタケと少量(10%程度まで)代替しても、本発明の健康食品の機能と風味が失われることはない。 したがって、本発明にいうアガリクスは、このような代替物と一部置換したものを総称する。
【0020】
本発明のフコイダン系健康食品は、体重抑制効果と脂肪組織重量、血清中性脂質(トリグリセリド)、低密度リポタンパク、全コレステロール含量を軽減させる効果のあるワカメ芽株フコイダン(硫酸化多糖類)を基材として、その機能を何等阻害させることなく、沖縄フトモズクフコイダンとアガリクス粉末の機能を付加し、さらには、それらの効果を相乗的に発揮させることができ、その上、ワカメ芽株フコイダンの飲み易さが改善される。
【0021】
また、本発明のフコイダン系健康食品は、元来は粉末状であり、粉末状あるいは錠剤として供せられるが、本質的には水溶性であるので、水あるいは調味した溶液等に溶かして通常のドリンクとしても、また、他の食材に混合して供することもできる。
【0022】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、実施例によって本願発明の実施の形態を説明する。
【0023】
1. 配合原料の調製
ワカメ芽株より抽出分画したフコイダン画分
ワカメの芽株を採取後海水で洗浄し、次いで、一昼夜天日乾燥し低温乾燥した。水分含量は6.2±0.5%であった。次いで、乾燥された芽株を石臼で低温粉砕を行った。粒径は35〜170メッシュであった。この芽株粉体試料10kgを80%エタノ−ルで2回洗浄後、濾過した後、水を170l加えた後、85〜90℃まで加熱し水抽出を行った。次いで40〜50℃に冷却した後、プロテアーゼを少量加え4時間攪拌した。次いで、80〜90℃に加熱し水抽出と同時にプロテアーゼを失活させた。次いで、フィルターで濾過した後、噴露乾燥し、粗粉末フコイダン様多糖複合体を得た。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a health food product mainly composed of fucoidan which is orally administered as a powder, a capsule, a tablet, or a drink dissolved in a solvent such as water dissolved in a solution seasoned for easy drinking.
[0002]
[Prior art]
BACKGROUND ART Various types of health foods have been conventionally known as health foods that lower blood sugar levels and bring about a diet effect. In particular, fucoidan-like polysaccharide complex is a natural killer cell (NK) that prevents canceration of tissues by removing mutant cells. It is known that it has a function of enhancing the biological defense ability activating activity by enhancing the activity and enhancing the macrophage (Mφ) poor phagocytic activity, which is an important member of immunization by removing invasion foreign substances and the like. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-181303 discloses a method of providing a low-priced wakame bud by cold-drying and then pulverizing it at a low temperature.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, even if the fucodine-like polysaccharide complex extracted from the bud strain part of wakame itself has excellent functions as a biological defense enhancer and an immunostimulant, when it is mixed with other health food materials, Has a possibility that its function may be deteriorated, and there is a possibility that competitive deterioration with an additive component may occur.
In addition, such a fucodine-like polysaccharide complex also has a drawback that the flavor peculiar to the young buds of wakame, which is a raw material, becomes too strong and lacks the taste and flavor as a health food.
[0004]
A first object of the present invention is to make use of the excellent functions of a fucodyne-like polysaccharide complex extracted from a bud strain of wakame as a biological defense enhancer and an immunostimulatory agent for maintaining health of human life widely. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to find conditions for use as a mixture.
[0005]
Another object of the present invention is to find an additive which does not decrease the functions of the fucodine-like polysaccharide complex extracted from the bud strain of seaweed as a biological defense enhancer and an immunostimulant.
[0006]
Another object is to enhance the function of the fucodyne-like polysaccharide complex extracted from the bud strain of wakame, or to add a new function without reducing the function of the fucodyne-like polysaccharide complex itself. Finding things.
[0007]
Another object of the present invention is to confirm the minimum content of the mixture obtained by blending the fucodyne-like polysaccharide complex extracted from the bud portion of wakame with the additive compound and remaining its function.
[0008]
Another object of the present invention is to confirm the upper limit of the content in which the function can be exhibited when the fucodine-like polysaccharide complex extracted from the bud strain of wakame is mixed with other additives.
[0009]
It is still another object of the present invention to confirm conditions for preparing a fucodyne-like polysaccharide complex extracted from a bud strain of wakame as a food or drink.
[0010]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
According to the present invention, the function of fucoidan extracted and fractionated from the seaweed bud strain is not reduced, but is increased, by mixing a specific amount of fucoidan extracted and fractionated from Okinawa Fumozuku, and furthermore, it is produced in Brazil. It has been completed under the finding that the addition of agaricus powder containing β-glucan increases the functions expected as health foods and also improves the ease of drinking.
[0011]
That is, by mixing a specific amount of fucoidan extracted and fractionated from Okinawa Futomozuku, without reducing the function of fucoidan extracted and fractionated from Wakame bud strain, the function of fucoidan extracted and fractionated from Okinawa Futomozuku is added, and A fucoidan-based health food with improved ease can be obtained.
[0012]
Additives for enhancing the function of fucoidan extracted and fractionated from wakame sprouts include β-glucan, which is said to have an anticancer function in the function of fucoidan extracted and fractionated from wakame sprouts. Agaricus (mushrooms native to Brazil) powder and mushroom powders such as Himematsutake can be suitably used, and are excellent in flavor.
[0013]
Fucoidan, a wakame bud strain that reduces body weight, adipose tissue weight, serum neutral lipids (triglycerides), low-density lipoprotein, and total cholesterol, is expected to have similar functions. By adding a specific proportion of Agaricus, which is expected to increase its function, each function can exert synergistic effects with each other without any slight inhibition, and the removal of mutant cells (abnormal, cancerous cells) It enhances natural killer cell (NK) activity that prevents canceration, that is, has a biological defense ability activating activity.
[0014]
That is, the fucoidan-based health food of the present invention is a hyperglycemia obtained by mixing agaricus powder with a mixture of 1 to 90% of a fucoidan fraction extracted and fractionated from a seaweed bud strain and the remainder being a fucoidan fraction extracted and fractionated from Okinawa Fumozuku. And has the effect of keeping blood sugar low.
[0015]
A preferred composition of the fucoidan-based health food is a mixture comprising 15 to 35% by mass of the fucoidan fraction extracted and fractionated from the wakame bud strain and 85 to 65% by mass of the fucoidan fraction extracted and fractionated from Okinawa Futomozuku. Agarix powder is mixed in an amount of 10 to 20% by mass with respect to the total amount of the mixture.
[0016]
The fucoidan (sulfated polysaccharide) fraction extracted and fractionated from the wakame bud strain can exert its function at 1% or more, and at 90% or more, the flavor of the wakame bud strain itself as a raw material is reduced. too strong.
[0017]
The fucoidan extracted and extracted from the wakame bud strain can be used as a combination agent, and fucoidan extracted from general mozuku can be used. Among them, fucoidan extracted and fractionated from Okinawa Fumozuku is extracted from this wakame bud strain. Compared to the fucoidan fractionated, it has a lower function, but exhibits a similar function, and its flavor is superior to fucoidan prepared from the wakame bud strain, and the fucoidan extracted and fractionated from the wakame bud strain Most suitable as a formulation.
[0018]
In addition, the mixture with the wakame bud strain and the moss can be replaced with an extract from another overseas brown algae as long as the characteristics are not lost.
[0019]
Even if the mixed agaricus is replaced with a small amount (up to about 10%) of Himematsutake, which is said to have the same function as the agaricus, the function and flavor of the health food of the present invention are not lost. Therefore, the term "agaricus" in the present invention is a generic term for those partially substituted with such substitutes.
[0020]
The fucoidan-based health food of the present invention comprises a wakame bud strain fucoidan (sulfated polysaccharide) having an effect of reducing body weight, adipose tissue weight, serum neutral lipid (triglyceride), low-density lipoprotein, and total cholesterol content. As a base material, without impairing its function at all, we can add the functions of Okinawa Fumozuku fucoidan and Agaricus powder, and furthermore, can exert their effects synergistically. Drinkability is improved.
[0021]
Further, the fucoidan-based health food of the present invention is originally in the form of a powder, and is provided as a powder or a tablet.However, since it is essentially water-soluble, it can be dissolved in water or a seasoned solution or the like to obtain a normal food. It can be served as a drink or mixed with other ingredients.
[0022]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to examples.
[0023]
1. Preparation of compounding raw material The fucoidan fraction extracted from the wakame sprouts strain, the wakame sprouts strain was collected and washed with seawater, then dried all day and night and dried at low temperature. The water content was 6.2 ± 0.5%. Next, the dried bud strain was subjected to low-temperature pulverization with a stone mill. The particle size was 35-170 mesh. After washing 10 kg of the sprouts powder sample twice with 80% ethanol, filtration was performed, 170 l of water was added, and the mixture was heated to 85 to 90 ° C. to perform water extraction. Then, after cooling to 40 to 50 ° C, a small amount of protease was added and the mixture was stirred for 4 hours. Then, the protease was heated to 80 to 90 ° C. to inactivate the protease simultaneously with the water extraction. Next, the mixture was filtered with a filter and then dried by blowing to obtain a crude powdery fucoidan-like polysaccharide complex.
[0024]
Crude powder fucoidan-like polysaccharide complex treated as a raw material in the same manner as the fucoidan fraction extracted and fractionated from the wakame bud strain of Okinawa mushroom fucoidan fraction was used.
[0025]
Agaricus (scientific name: Agaricus Blajei Murrill)
The inoculum is produced in Brazil. The inoculum was taken into bagasse medium, and after culturing, the mycelium was extracted and powdered.
[0026]
2. Preparation of Mixture The fucoidan fraction extracted and fractionated from the wakame bud strain is mixed with various powders of Okinawa Fumozuku fucoidan fraction and Agaricus within a range of 1 to 90%, and can be drunk without any discomfort by a sensitivity test. A possible blended mixture was obtained. The blended mixture was a mixture comprising 15-35% of a fucoidan fraction extracted and fractionated from the wakame bud strain and 85-65% of a fucoidan fraction extracted and fractionated from Okinawa Fumozuku, and Agaricus powder based on the total amount of the mixture. Was mixed at 10-20%.
[0027]
