Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、整腸用組成物及びそれを含有する飲食品に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
腸内細菌が、ヒト又は動物の健康と深い関わりを有し、ヒト又は動物の生理状態に影響を及ぼしていることが明らかにされており、糞便量、排便回数、排便感覚等の便性の改善をはじめとする整腸効果には、食物繊維等により、ビフィズス菌、乳酸菌等の有用菌を腸内で増殖させることや、有害菌の増殖を抑制することにより、腸内環境を改善することが有効であるとされ、該有用菌、その増殖因子、または食物繊維等を1種以上配合した腸内環境改善用組成物等が知られている。(例えば、特許文献1〜3参照。)
【0003】
水溶性食物繊維の整腸効果は、有用菌を増殖させると同時に、短鎖脂肪酸が生成され、腸管を刺激するために発現すると考えられている。しかしながら、ここで生成した短鎖脂肪酸は、速やかに吸収されるため、整腸効果が必ずしも十分ではなく、短鎖脂肪酸の生成速度を緩慢にした、さらに優れた整腸用組成物が望まれていた。ここで、短鎖脂肪酸とは、腸内細菌が産生する炭素数6以下の脂肪酸をいい、例えば、酢酸、プロピオン酸、イソ酪酸、酪酸、乳酸、コハク酸、ギ酸、吉草酸、イソ吉草酸、カプロン酸などが挙げられる。
【0004】
一方、石化海藻については、免疫調節の不全に起因する体の異常を治療する効果や、固形又は半固形食品において官能特性や物理特性を向上させる効果等が知られている(例えば、特許文献4、5参照。)が、整腸効果については知られていなかった。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a composition for intestinal regulation and a food or drink containing the same.
[0002]
[Prior art]
It has been clarified that enterobacteria have a deep connection with the health of humans or animals and have an effect on the physiological state of humans or animals. To improve the intestinal effect including improvement, improve the intestinal environment by growing useful bacteria such as bifidobacteria and lactic acid bacteria in the intestine with dietary fiber, etc., and suppressing the growth of harmful bacteria. Intestinal environment improving compositions containing at least one of the useful bacteria, their growth factors, or dietary fiber are known. (For example, see Patent Documents 1 to 3.)
[0003]
It is considered that the intestinal effect of water-soluble dietary fiber is manifested in order to proliferate useful bacteria and at the same time produce short-chain fatty acids and stimulate the intestinal tract. However, since the short-chain fatty acids produced here are absorbed quickly, the effect of intestinal regulation is not always sufficient, and a further superior composition for regulating intestines with a slow production rate of short-chain fatty acids is desired. It was. Here, the short chain fatty acid means a fatty acid having 6 or less carbon atoms produced by enteric bacteria, such as acetic acid, propionic acid, isobutyric acid, butyric acid, lactic acid, succinic acid, formic acid, valeric acid, isovaleric acid, Examples include caproic acid.
[0004]
On the other hand, as for petrified seaweeds, there are known effects of treating abnormalities of the body due to immunoregulation failure, effects of improving sensory characteristics and physical characteristics in solid or semi-solid foods, etc. (for example, Patent Document 4) However, it was not known about the intestinal effect.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The subject of this invention is providing the composition for intestinal regulation which made the production | generation rate of the short chain fatty acid slow in intestines, and the food-drinks containing it.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The inventors of the present application have found that by containing water-soluble dietary fiber and fossilized seaweed, it is possible to provide a composition for intestinal regulation and a food or drink containing the same, in which the production rate of short-chain fatty acids is slowed in the intestine. The present invention has been completed.
[0008]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The dietary fiber in the present invention is an indigestible component in food that is not digested by human digestive enzymes, and the water-soluble dietary fiber is one that dissolves in water among dietary fibers. For example, thickened polysaccharides such as guar gum, locust bean gum, tara gum, carob gum, tamarind seed gum, gum arabic, glucomannan, pectin, hemicellulose, lignin, alginic acid, polydextrose, indigestible dextrin, resistant starch, fucoidan , Water-soluble soybean polysaccharides, pullulan, and the like, and degradation products thereof, and one or more selected from these can be used in any combination.
Among them, galactomannans such as gum arabic, indigestible dextrin, guar gum, locust bean gum, tara gum, etc., indigestible starch, water-soluble soybean polysaccharide, tamarind seed gum, pullulan, etc. and enteric bacteria such as degradation products thereof What is assimilated is preferred. More preferred are galactomannans such as guar gum, locust bean gum, and tara gum, and degradation products thereof, more preferred are degradation products of galactomannans such as guar gum, locust bean gum, and tara gum, and most preferred are guar gums. It is a decomposition product.
In the present invention, when two or more kinds of water-soluble dietary fiber degradation products are used in combination, they may be hydrolyzed separately and then mixed, or the mixture may be hydrolyzed.
[0009]
In addition, the degradation product of the water-soluble dietary fiber used in the present invention can change the molecular weight by changing the reaction time, conditions, etc. of the enzyme, but if the average molecular weight is large, it becomes difficult to add to foods and beverages, Inconvenience often occurs, and the upper limit is preferably 100,000, and more preferably 40,000. The lower limit is preferably 2,000, more preferably 5,000, from the viewpoint of effects.
The method for measuring the average molecular weight is not particularly limited, but high performance liquid chromatography (column: YMC-Pack Diol-120) using polyethylene glycol (molecular weight; 2,000, 20,000, 100,000, etc.) as a marker. It can be determined by using a method for measuring the molecular weight distribution, etc. manufactured by YMC Co., Ltd.
[0010]
In addition, sun fiber (manufactured by Taiyo Kagaku Co., Ltd.), guar fiber (manufactured by Meiji Seika Co., Ltd.), fiber lon (manufactured by Dainippon Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.), and pine fiber, which is an indigestible dextrin, are decomposed products of guar gum. (Matsuya Chemical Co., Ltd.), low molecular weight sodium alginate, Solgin (Kaigen Co., Ltd.), water-soluble soybean polysaccharide, Soya Five (Fuji Oil Co., Ltd.), commercially available water-soluble dietary fiber Can also be used.
[0011]
The petrified seaweed in the present invention is obtained by adsorbing seaweed mineral components such as calcium and magnesium in the sea, preferably red algae, more preferably a calcareous residue of coralaceae seaweed.
Examples include calcareous residues of red algae including coral family, such as Lithothamnium corallioids, Phymatolithon calcareum, and Lithothamnium gliale species.
Lithothamnium coralloides (also called Lithothamium calcareum, also known as Phymatolithon calcareum), which is a kind of coral, is a seaweed that is very abundant in the cold and calm sea, and the calcareous residue remaining after the coral is over 90% by weight , Consisting mainly of calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate.
[0012]
Petrified seaweed can be used even when drowned from the bottom of the sea, but because it includes irrelevant sand, shells, etc., some or all of them are washed with seawater and / or fresh water, sieved, It is preferably removed by one or more combinations of methods such as sorting by work, and further, for example, sterilized by drying with hydrogen peroxide solution or heat treatment, etc. It is more preferable because it conforms to food hygiene regulations. Most preferably, it is further pulverized and powdered from the viewpoint of processability.
