TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an onion beverage as a health beverage suitable for promoting human health and a method for producing the same.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Onion belongs to the genus Allium belonging to the family Lily and is a vegetable of the same family as leeks, garlic, chive, larks, asatsuki, and scallions. The place of origin is one of the oldest vegetables that mankind has begun to cultivate in Central Asia. It was introduced to Japan at the beginning of the Meiji era and prototyped at Sapporo Agricultural School, and after that quality was improved to this day. I have.
[0003]
This onion contains various sulfur-containing compounds, flavonoid pigments, etc., which promotes the secretion of digestive juices in the stomach to increase appetite and has an antioxidant effect, thereby suppressing the occurrence of cancer, It is a vegetable that helps prevent hardening and promotes human health.
[0004]
However, allyl sulfide (diallyl disulfide), which is one of the sulfur-containing compounds contained in onions, emits a peculiar smell (onion smell) when hydrolyzed during the cooking process. In addition, since the peculiar smell is reduced by the heat treatment, it is often eaten mainly by using hamburger steaks, omelets, gyudon, curry, stew, and other dishes that require heat treatment.
[0005]
Therefore, the inventor has conducted intensive studies on whether effective ingredients contained in onions, which are useful for human health, can be more efficiently and deliciously taken in a raw state without heat treatment.
[0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The present invention relates to an onion beverage containing an onion containing components useful for promoting human health, such as various sulfur-containing compounds and flavonoid pigments, in a raw state, easily, easily and inexpensively, and a drink that can be stored for a long period of time. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for producing an onion beverage which can be easily and inexpensively produced.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
A first aspect of the present invention is an onion beverage obtained by adding vinegar, white sugar, and conditioned water to a filtrate of a grated juice of onion from which demon skin has been removed.
[0008]
According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the onion beverage according to the first aspect of the present invention, an aqueous extract of onion demon skin is used as the adjusted water.
[0009]
3 of the present invention is a grated juice of onion grated in a grater, put in a container with a stirrer, add vinegar and white sugar and mix, add the adjusted water to this mixture, further mix, This is a method for producing an onion beverage by removing the slag to produce a beverage.
[0010]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
The present invention is an onion beverage which is made into a juice-like drink which is easy to drink by adding vinegar, white sugar and conditioned water to a filtrate of a grated juice of an onion grated with a grate, and which is easy to drink. .
[0011]
As the onion, an early or normal white or yellow onion harvested from spring to summer can be used, and it is preferable that the onion has sweetness and flavor, and has little spiciness, bitterness, and pungent odor. Many early varieties retain such quality, but if they are difficult to obtain, several varieties of onions may be blended and used.
[0012]
This onion is used by removing the demon skin (outermost skin) and grated the bulbs concentrically gathered in a main body with a grater. This onion contains in its bulb cells alliin sulfide, an allyl sulfide, and quercetin, which is a representative of flavonoid pigments, and is known to be useful for improving human health.
[0013]
The alliin is hydrolyzed by contacting with the enzyme allinase contained in another cell when the onion is cut or ground during the cooking process, and is converted into a substance called allicin having a strong onion odor (garlic odor). Change. Allicin thus produced is known to have an appetite-promoting effect by promoting secretion of gastric digestive juice in addition to pharmacological effects such as antibacterial and antithrombotic effects.
[0014]
The allicin, taken when combined with vitamin B ₁ in the human body a stable absorbency good allithiamine, it is also known that help neurotransmission carbohydrate to decomposition and muscular.
[0015]
The quercetin is a typical flavonoid pigment, which is a yellow pigment, and is contained abundantly in the outer upper part of the onion demon skin and the concentric spherical bulbs. It has been known that quercetin exhibits pharmacological actions such as anticancer action, cholesterol lowering action, blood pressure increase suppressing action, and antiallergic action in the body when taken by humans.
[0016]
Although alliin and quercetin are relatively stable without being decomposed by heating, it is more desirable to ingest in a raw state for ingestion for the purpose of pharmacological action.
[0017]
As the vinegar, brewed vinegar (rice vinegar having an acidity of about 4.2%) that feels mellow when included in the mouth is used. Here, the use of synthetic vinegar is not preferable because the mouthfeel becomes sharp. This vinegar is added to make the onion grated easier to drink and to improve the preservability, and about 18 to 20 parts by weight is added to 100 parts by weight of the onion grated. Add.
[0018]
As the white sugar, purified white sugar is used. Here, granulated sugar may be used. This white sugar is also added to grated onion to make it easy to drink so as to have a moderate sweetness, and about 16 to 18 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of grated onion. Add.
[0019]
The adjusted water is grated with onion, vinegar, and a mixture obtained by adding and mixing sugar, and is added so as to maintain a moderate concentration that is easy to drink and a moderate fluidity that is good over the throat. . Shimizu is used as conditioning water. It is advisable to add this conditioning water in an amount substantially equal to the weight of the mixture.
[0020]
In addition, instead of Shimizu, a demon skin extract obtained by immersing demon skin removed from onion in Shimizu for about half a day to extract a demon skin component may be used. Since this demon skin contains a large amount of the above-mentioned quercetin, this component dissolves out and the above-mentioned pharmacological action can be further expected, so that it is a preferable drink.
[0021]
As for the onion drink, the grated onion is filtered, and the filtrate is mixed with the above vinegar, sugar, and adjusted water. However, as described above, the vinegar is mixed with the grated onion. After that, it may be filtered.
[0022]
Next, a method for producing the onion beverage of the present invention will be described.
First, several varieties of onions that are free of scratches and mold are selected and blended, the onion skin is removed, washed with water and dried.
Grate the washed onion in a grate to make the grated onion juice. This grated juice is white immediately after being grated, but becomes amber over time, but does not pose a problem in quality.
[0023]
Next, the grated juice of onion is put into a container equipped with a stirrer, and vinegar and white sugar are mixed with 18 to 20 parts by weight of vinegar (brewed vinegar) and 16 to 18 parts by weight of white sugar for 100 parts by weight of onion grated juice. And mix well with a stirrer. To this mixture, 130 to 140 parts by weight of fresh water is added as adjusting water and mixed well. Instead of using Shimizu, an onikin extract obtained by extracting onion ohi with Shimizu may be used.
[0024]
This is filtered through a filter to remove the residue, and the filtrate is used as an onion beverage, which is filled into a glass bottle, a polyethylene bottle, or a paper pack having a polyethylene resin processed inside.
