By the way, the present inventor has made various applications for lava, including lava plates for yakiniku, lava charcoal (registered trademark of the applicant), various forms of water modifier, lava cake and lava powder. We are developing knitted fabrics and fabrics. In addition, lava-containing soaps, cosmetic creams, and other cosmetics have been commercialized.
However, the only thing that can be ingested and taken into the body by the mouth is that the lava components may have been dissolved in the water filtered with lava grains developed as a water modifier. Did not exist.
In other words, the present situation is that no attempt has been made as to what effect can be obtained when the lava itself is taken into the body.
Accordingly, the object of the food additive of the present invention is to perform the above-mentioned trials that have not been conventionally performed and to provide the results to the market.

That is, in order to achieve the above object, the food additive according to the present invention is characterized by containing fine lava powder as a main component.
The food additive of the present invention is also characterized in that the fine lava powder has a particle size of about 0.1 to about 50 μm, and the fine lava powder is produced in the Mount Fuji system. It is also characterized by being made of lava.

The lava powder in the present invention is preferably a powder obtained by pulverizing lava produced in the Mt. Fuji series, particularly around the Fuji Five Lakes. The lava produced in the Mt. Fuji system, especially around the Fuji Five Lakes, has an air bubble ratio of 30% or more and exhibits an excellent effect in generating far-infrared rays.
In addition, lava produced in the Mt. Fuji series, especially around the Fuji Five Lakes, has a very high content of zinc and vanadium, and can be used in many ways due to its sterilizing power.

In preparing the food compounding agent of the present invention, it is desirable to prepare it through the following steps (see FIG. 1).

1. First, lava is collected and procured. Such lava is distributed throughout Japan, but lava collected around Mt. Fuji is particularly suitable. In other words, it was confirmed that the lava collected around Mt. Fuji contained a larger amount of zinc and vanadium components than lava in other areas. Of course, it is necessary to collect and procure lava within the legal scope.
And when this zinc component is used as a cosmetic base material in cosmetics etc., the skin beautifying action is remarkable, suppresses active oxygen and prevents the occurrence of stains, and also prevents acne and wipes by its antibacterial action. It seems to have the effect of being able to prevent.
As a result of administering vanadium metal compounds (vanadate) in nature to experimental rats with artificially hyperglycemia (diabetes), the vanadium component has been confirmed to have the same effect as insulin that suppresses the increase in blood glucose level. Yes. Further, in Japan, vanadyl sulfate is intraperitoneally administered to diabetic rats and tetravalent vanadium complex is orally administered, and it has been demonstrated that a glucose-lowering effect appears promptly.

2. Next, the lava is crushed and cut. In this invention, lava is powdered and used. Therefore, the lava collected first is first crushed. Of course, it is also desirable to crush with a crusher, or to cut and subdivide sequentially into a plate shape or a block shape, and then apply it to the crusher.

3. At a stage where it is granulated to some extent, whether the obtained lava is worth processing is selected. Examples of the selection method include examining the contents of zinc and vanadium to select those having a high content, and removing components other than lava. For example, the content of zinc or vanadium can be inspected by applying to various analyzers or observing reaction with reagents.

4). Granulated or small block lava is pulverized. Examples of the powdering method include pulverization with various pulverization apparatuses such as a pestle and a mortar, a disk, a centrifugal impact apparatus, and the like, and processing into powder. Of course, the process of processing lava into various uses, such as lava plates (for yakiniku), pebble-like lava (Lava Charcoal's registered trademark), or powdered cutting waste discharged during processing of lava blocks, etc. is used. May be. That is, it is also possible to use the lava powder to be obtained in the present invention by drying the dust generated at the time of cutting into a plate shape or a block shape and then selecting with a sieve and removing impurities.

5). The obtained lava powder is sieved. Examples of the sieving method include various sieving devices such as sieving with a predetermined mesh sieve, and sorting with a centrifugal separator. Of course, you may take out the powder of a predetermined mesh using another apparatus.

6). The obtained lava powder is purified. Purification is performed to select impurities contained in the lava powder. For example, it may be settled in water to remove suspended solids, or impurities may be removed using the sedimentation rate to extract pure lava powder.

7). The obtained lava powder containing zinc or vanadium is kneaded into confectionery, bread, gum, noodles or other dough. At that time, it is possible to carry various pharmaceutical or nutritional components on the lava powder, or to coat the surface with such components or coating materials.
This zinc or vanadium-containing lava powder is mixed with food ingredients and kneaded so that the food ingredients have a natural skin effect and antibacterial action in addition to the original flavor and various nutrients of food ingredients, and can emit far infrared rays. By doing so, it is possible to provide foods useful for health. If the obtained food is edible for a long period of time, it is possible to promote blood circulation to improve cooling and improve the function of the gastrointestinal tract to promote bowel movement.

The food additive according to the present invention is a finely powdered lava, composed of 80 or more metal elements (minerals), and adheres to the magnet. This can be used by mixing with confectionery, bread, gum, noodles, and other doughs.

The particle size of the lava powder is desirably about 0.1 · m or more, and if it is less than this, there is a problem that the working environment and the surrounding environment are damaged. When the particle size is about 50 μm or more, there is a problem that the texture is rough and the texture is not excellent. Of course, it is possible to appropriately determine the particle size of the lava powder to be used in consideration of the application and usage form.

Listed are the effects when the food additive of this invention is added to gums in an amount of about 0.1 to about 1.0% by weight, especially about 0.5% by weight.
a. The blood vessels are dilated and the blood circulation is improved to improve the health of the skin. The blood color is improved and the bowel movement is improved.
b. The beauty of the beautifully contained zinc creates a fresh beauty for women.
c. Zinc that prevents the occurrence of stains has the effect of making active oxygen nontoxic. Skin spots are due to active oxygen and prevent the occurrence of spots.
d. Acne and wipes have a surprising bactericidal effect, and they eliminate the acne and wipes caused by bacteria.
e. By the power of the vanadium component, an action similar to that of insulin that suppresses an increase in blood glucose level can be obtained, and a rapid glucose lowering effect appears.

The effects obtained when the food additive of the present invention is kneaded into a food material such as noodle strips at about 0.1 to about 1.0% by weight, particularly about 0.5% by weight, and used as noodles are as follows. .
a. As it passes through the throat, passes through the esophagus, foreign body, intestine, and is excreted outside the body, it absorbs body temperature and continues to emit far infrared rays, so that blood vessels expand and body temperature rises, and its thermal action is immune Is expected to increase.
b. Since the mineral content contained in the lava is absorbed, the effect of the mineral component is obtained. That is, starting from the regulation of water in the body, it is possible to exert a function of preventing the aging by promoting the activation for each tissue constituting the body.
c. The far-infrared bactericidal power of lava powder and the detoxification action of the zinc contained in it, for example, control enteric bacteria, improve bowel movement, and reduce the burden on the stomach and intestines. It is valid.

As an effect of the food additive according to the present invention, for example, when applied to gum, it has a bactericidal action against periodontal disease bacteria and can remove bad breath, so that the gums are sound and aging. It is possible to prevent simple tooth extraction.
Moreover, it is possible to improve the preservability of the added food by the sterilizing power of the zinc contained, and provide a food having a long shelf life.
In addition, even if the food formulation of the present invention itself is included and praised, it promotes blood circulation and raises the temperature in the body to increase immunity and suppress the growth of cancer cells that are vulnerable to heat. It is possible to sterilize miscellaneous bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract and promote bowel movements.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the food additive of the present invention will be described in more detail based on examples.

Add about 0.5% by weight of lava powder with a particle size of about 0.1-50m and a bubble rate of 30% or more to a gum base such as latex or chicle purified from vinyl acetate resin or Gerton (Pontianak). Further, sugars, fragrances, coloring agents and the like were added to prepare chewing gum.
