  The present invention relates to a functional collagen-reinforced food containing 3 to 50% of collagen. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a functional collagen-enhanced food containing components such as isoflavones, calcium, vitamins, and iron.

  In recent years, water-soluble collagen reinforces support tissues such as skin, bone, and cartilage, promotes metabolism, and improves skin moisturizing power, and is effective for symptoms such as rough skin, wrinkles, and dullness. Attention has been paid.

  In addition, isoflavones have the function of female hormones and are said to be effective in preventing osteoporosis associated with postmenopausal female hormone reduction. It is also useful for arteriosclerosis, and isoflavone is a functional material that contributes to the prevention of climacteric disorder that tends to occur with aging.

  Furthermore, calcium and iron are minerals that are prone to under intake among the essential nutrients of modern people. When calcium deficiency occurs, bone formation is suppressed and causes bone diseases such as osteoporosis. Insufficient iron, the main component of hemoglobin, causes anemia.

  Collagen has been attracting attention in recent years because it has an effect of promoting metabolism and improving moisturizing power, but as a product containing a large amount of collagen, it has conventionally only been in the form of a tablet. For this reason, there was a defect that resistance to ingestion was strong and could not be ingested easily. In particular, there was a need for something that was difficult to be accepted by a wide range of age groups, from children to the elderly, and that could be easily consumed.

  In addition to isoflavones, there has been no functional collagen-enriched food that contains essential ingredients such as vitamins, calcium, and iron, and that can be supplemented with these ingredients once a day. Furthermore, there has never been a functional collagen-enriched food that contains various fruits without using any coloring or flavoring, and a refreshing flavor, or a cacao-flavored functional collagen-enriched food that contains collagen in chocolate.

Moreover, the weight of one piece is 50-200 g, and it has the feature that it can be eaten comfortably by one intake.

  Hereinafter, examples of the functional collagen-enhanced food of the present invention will be described in detail. However, the following examples illustrate functional collagen-enriched foods for embodying the technical idea of the present invention, and the present invention does not specify functional collagen-enriched foods as follows.

  The functional collagen-enriched food of the present invention is manufactured assuming that it is ingested once a day, and this product is for 1 day, that is, 3 to 50% of the total amount of collagen in one. Preferably it contains 4.5 to 20%. The content rate of collagen can be set to an optimum value in consideration of the amount of collagen taken into the body by one intake. Therefore, the content rate of collagen is variously changed according to the weight of one functional collagen-enriched food. The functional collagen-enriched food has a weight of 50 to 200 g, preferably 80 to 120 g. The reason why the weight of one serving is within this range is that it is possible to complete the meal with a single intake.

  The estimated daily intake of collagen is said to be about 5 g. Therefore, when the weight of one functional collagen-enriched food is 100 g, the collagen content is 5%, and an amount of collagen that is a standard for the day can be ingested. Furthermore, when the weight of one piece is 80 g, the collagen content is 6% or more, and when the weight of one piece is 150 g, the collagen content is 3% or more, which is a standard for the day. The amount of collagen can be ingested.

  A collagen peptide is preferably used for the collagen contained in the functional collagen-enriched food. Collagen peptide is a decomposition of collagen and gelatin, has a low molecular weight and is easily absorbed. Collagen, which is a raw material for collagen peptides, is extracted from animal bones and skin, for example, extracted from fish skin, bones, scales, etc., or collected from livestock such as cattle, pigs, birds, It can be extracted from meat and gelatinous parts. In addition, what is marketed from each company can be used for a collagen peptide.

  The functional collagen-enriched food is processed into a jelly as a whole. Collagen changes to a liquid state when heated to a high temperature and becomes a jelly when cooled. Therefore, in a state in which the collagen-containing raw material is heated to a liquid state, various additives are mixed and stirred, and then cooled to obtain a jelly-like food mixed with the additives. Can do.

  Furthermore, the present invention can also efficiently process the whole into a jelly form by adding a gelling agent. For this additive, for example, Inagel B-300 (manufactured by Ina Foods Co., Ltd.) can be used. This inagel B-300 contains starch, agar, glucose and the like as components. This Inagel B-300 can be processed into a jelly efficiently by adding 300 to 700 mg, preferably 400 to 550 mg, to 100 g of food.

  Isoflavone can be added to the functional collagen-enriched food. 1-100 mg of isoflavones are added to 100 g of food. For example, when the weight of one functional collagen-enriched food is 100 g, 1 to 100 mg of isoflavone can be taken into the body with a single intake. Isoflavones are added using, for example, enzyme-treated okara. As the enzyme-treated okara, for example, okara milk can be used. This okara milk contains about 20 mg of isoflavone in 1.5 g. Therefore, 75 mg to 7.5 g of enzyme-treated okara is added to add 1 to 100 mg of isoflavone.

  Furthermore, calcium can be added to the functional collagen-enriched food. Calcium is added in an amount of 250 to 600 mg per 100 g of food. For example, when the weight of each functional collagen-enriched food is 100 g, 250 to 600 mg of calcium can be taken into the body with a single intake. Calcium is added using, for example, milk calcium 22, which is a food additive. This milk calcium 22 is a fine powder containing milk calcium and contains 217 mg of calcium in 1 g. Therefore, in order to add 250 to 600 mg of calcium, 1.15 g to 2.76 g of this milk calcium 22 is added.

  Furthermore, iron can be added to the functional collagen-enriched food. Add 3.8 mg or more of iron to 100 g of food. For example, when the weight of one functional collagen-enriched food is 100 g, 3.8 mg or more of iron can be taken into the body with a single intake. For example, iron is added using Sun Active Fe (manufactured by Taiyo Chemical Co., Ltd.), which is an iron reinforcing agent. This sun active Fe is a food additive in which ferric pyrophosphate as an insoluble iron agent is distributed in an emulsifier, and 320 mg of ferric pyrophosphate is contained in 320 mg. Therefore, in order to add 3.86 mg or more of iron, 320 mg or more of sun active Fe is added. However, heme iron can also be used for the added iron. This is because heme iron has a higher absorption rate than non-heme iron and can be efficiently absorbed in the body. However, non-heme iron can be used for iron. When non-heme iron is used as iron, vitamin C can be added to increase the absorption rate. Furthermore, various vitamins can also be added to the functional collagen-enriched food.

  Furthermore, the functional collagen-enriched food can be made a fruit flavor by adding fruit paste or fruit juice. The fruit paste can be obtained by grinding fruit fruits into a paste. Peach, strawberry, melon, banana, orange, cherry, grape, loquat, plum, prune, apricot, fig, chestnut, kiwi etc. can be used for this fruit. The fruit juice can be obtained by squeezing the fruit. For this fruit, fruits such as peach, strawberry, melon, watermelon, grape and apple and citrus fruits such as orange, mandarin orange, lemon, yuzu and sudachi can be used. Furthermore, a plurality of types of fruit pastes and fruit juices can be blended and added to the functional collagen-enriched food. Furthermore, a small amount of alcohols, for example, fruit wines such as plum wine and sachidake sake, wine, brandy, etc. can be added to the functional collagen-enriched food.

  Furthermore, the functional collagen-enriched food can also contain chocolate. This functional collagen-enriched food has a cacao flavor and chocolate sweetness, so even a child can take it without resistance. Furthermore, flavors, such as cocoa, coffee, tea, milk, and matcha tea, can also be added to the functional collagen-enriched food.

  As described above, functional collagen-enriched foods obtained by adding additives such as fruit and chocolate and adding a unique flavor have the feature that it is easy to eat by eliminating the smell of collagen. In addition, the functional collagen-enriched food of the present invention can be added with L-carnitine so that the weight of one food is 100 g and 10 to 1000 mg of L-carnitine is taken into the body by one intake.

  For example, a predetermined amount of functional collagen-enriched food is filled in a container formed into a cup shape with plastic or the like. The cup-shaped container filled with the functional collagen-enriched food is sealed by sealing the opening with a plastic film or the like.
