Description

  TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a method for producing aseptic koji powder and a health supplement containing the aseptic koji powder, and in particular, to produce pure and clean koji powder stably throughout the year and to prevent contamination with microorganisms and preservatives. The present invention relates to a method for producing aseptic koji powder that can be used as a safe health supplement and a health supplement containing the aseptic koji powder.

As for the sericulture method, since mulberry has been the only feed since ancient times, sericulture has been carried out three or four times in the season from May to October when mulberry leaves are present. Feed was developed, and since 1964, the aseptic breeding method was established, which enabled stable sericulture throughout the year.
However, in reality, only sericulture with mulberry from May to October, or sericulture to the extent that artificial feed is introduced during the mulberry juvenile period, has become widespread.

Seasonal sericulture using mulberry is made up of a series of advanced work techniques from cleaning up to the upper family, including cultivation of mulberry, harvesting of mulberry, daily mulberry feeding, separation at each age, handling of sleep and waking, and fasting. This work requires a lot of labor, but the income of sericulture is low, and the number of sericulture farmers that used to be 2.2 million has decreased to only 1000.
Further, sericulture with mulberry is not guaranteed to maintain a healthy cocoon due to infection with pathogenic microorganisms, and microorganisms are present inside and outside the cocoon and are difficult to eliminate in the cocoon powder manufacturing process.
Therefore, when cocoon powder is manufactured using cocoons cultivated with mulberry, there is a problem in using it for health supplements.
In addition, it is conceivable to use clean breeding using artificial feed, but basically the same breeding method as mulberry breeding is adopted, and antiseptic and antifungal agents are used for feed unlike aseptic breeding. So you need to worry more about the impact.

  In view of the problems of the above-described conventional methods for producing koji powder, the present invention stably produces pure and koji powder throughout the year and is a safe health supplement that does not contain microorganisms or preservatives. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for producing sterile rice cake powder and a health supplement containing the sterile rice cake powder.

  In order to achieve the above object, the method for producing aseptic koji powder according to the present invention is a method of fasting a 5-year-old koji that has been cultivated aseptically using an artificial feed by a two-year-old feeding method, followed by freezing and freeze-drying to obtain a powder. It is characterized by becoming.

  Moreover, the health food supplement containing the aseptic koji powder of the present invention is characterized by containing aseptic koji powder produced by the method of the present invention as an active ingredient.

  According to the method for producing a sterile koji powder of the present invention, after fasting a 5-year-old koji that has been sterilized by an artificial feed and fed twice a year, it is frozen, freeze-dried and powdered. Using aseptic raw rice cake that does not retain any microorganisms in the body and body surface as a raw material, pure and clean rice cake powder suitable for materials such as health supplements can be industrially produced in large quantities throughout the year.

  In addition, according to the health supplement containing the aseptic cocoon powder of the present invention, the sterilized cocoon powder produced from aseptically cultivated cocoon is included as an active ingredient, so that safe health assistance that does not contain microorganisms and preservatives Can be food.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the method for producing aseptic koji powder of the present invention and health supplements containing the aseptic koji powder will be described.

1 to 2 show an embodiment of the method for producing aseptic sputum powder of the present invention.
The method for producing aseptic koji powder of this example is a five-year-old koji of a koji (a kite that does not retain any pathogenic microorganisms and general microorganisms inside or outside the box) produced by the aseptic feeding method of artificial feed containing mulberry leaf powder. After fasting, it is immediately frozen using aseptic technique, lyophilized and then powdered.
A series of work processes from breeding to pulverization are performed aseptic processes free from microbial contamination.

First, as a pupa, a sterilized pupa that has been raised in an aseptic factory using an artificial feed and fed twice a year (25 days) is used. Here, the cocoon bred using an artificial feed in an aseptic factory is a sterile pod, and the egg surface is sterilized on the day before hatching, and steam-sterilized artificial feed is given to the hatched pupae. No conventional work is performed until age 4.
By changing the feed for the second time on the 2nd and 3rd days of the 4th age and growing it up to the 5th age, the desired sterile koji can be obtained. Here, aseptic refers to the absence of microorganisms in the body and surface of the pupae, and if there is a latent virus, the pupae are caused by cold induction of the pupae. Infection and mania do not occur.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 2, artificial feed 1 is prepared by feed production apparatus 2 equipped with a kneader, a heater, and a molder. By adding an appropriate amount and kneading the mixture, it is formed into a sheet having a substantially uniform thickness as shown in FIG.

The artificial feed 1 is mainly composed of dried (preferably sun-dried) mulberry leaves, defatted soybean powder and okara, and an appropriate amount of water is added thereto.
In this case, at least corn powder, cellulose, citric acid, vitamin C, plant cholesterol, crotonic acid, and inositol can be added to the main component.
And as a more specific blending ratio, for example, as a reference weight, mulberry leaf powder 32% (20-40%), defatted soybean powder 47% (30-65%), corn powder 13% (by weight) 10-18%), cellulose 3% (2-4%), citric acid 2% (1.5-3%), ascorbic acid 1.5% (1-2%), plant cholesterol 0.4% (0 0.3-0.5%), crotonic acid 0.4% (0.3-0.5%), inositol 0.2% (0.1-0.3%), other trace components 0.5% ( 0.3 to 0.7%) (each component can be increased or decreased within a range of ± 30% from the reference weight with reference to the numerical values in parentheses), and dry okara powder is added to this, for example, by weight Add 10 to 50% in a ratio and mix, and add an appropriate amount of water to this.

Since the cocoon (not shown) consumes only about 5 g of this artificial feed 1 from the time it hatches until it is made, for example, only the first supply of the artificial feed 1 is performed. It is technically possible to grow straw without supplementing the artificial feed 1.
Therefore, in this artificial feed 1, for example, the artificial feed 1 is laid on the pallet 3 and the net 4 is arranged on the pallet 3 to store the straw and put in the aseptic room 5 without rotting the feed. You can grow the pods to the end with a single feed.

In the aseptic breeding method, for example, a sericulture bed 6 containing a cocoon is disposed so as to overlap the sterilization chamber 5.
The sericulture bed 6 lays the artificial feed 1 after laying the paper 7 on the pallet 3, arranges the net 4 on which the cocoon is gripped, accommodates the cocoon, and grows the cocoon until the age of 5 Supplement the artificial feed 1 once.
In this aseptic breeding method, the artificial feed 1 is laid on the pallet 3, the net 4 is disposed on the pallet 3 to accommodate the straw, and such a sericulture bed 6 is simply placed on the sterile room 5. Well, for this reason, it is possible to grow the straw to the end by supplying the artificial feed 1 only once with little labor and labor.

On the other hand, the health supplement containing the aseptic candy powder of this example can be made into powder, solid, liquid, capsule, etc. so as to contain the sterilized candy powder produced by the aseptic breeding method as an active ingredient.
As shown in the analytical test results in Tables 1 to 3, aseptic powder contains abundant active substances such as amino acids, lowers blood glucose level and blood cholesterol, recovers from fatigue, nourishes, and immune It is effective in strengthening force, preventing dementia and Parkinson's disease.

  Thus, according to the method for producing aseptic koji powder of this example, the artificial feed 1 is used to fast a 5-year-old koji that has been sterilized by feeding twice a year, and then immediately frozen, freeze-dried and powdered. Therefore, it is possible to produce industrially stable and mass-produced pure and clean rice cake powder suitable for materials such as health supplements, using aseptic rice cake that does not retain any microorganisms in the body and body surface. .

  In addition, the health supplement containing the aseptic koji powder of this example contains a sterile koji powder produced from aseptically raised koji as an active ingredient, so that it is a safe health supplement that does not contain microorganisms or preservatives. It can be.

  As mentioned above, although the manufacturing method of the aseptic rice cake powder of this invention and the health supplement containing this aseptic rice cake powder were demonstrated based on the Example, this invention is not limited to the structure described in the said Example. The configuration can be changed as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the invention, for example, by appropriately combining the configurations described in the embodiments.

  As described above, the method for producing aseptic koji powder according to the present invention and the health supplement containing the aseptic koji powder can produce pure and clean koji powder industrially and stably in large quantities throughout the year by freeze-drying the aseptic koji powder. Therefore, for example, it can be suitably used for applications such as health supplements containing strawberry powder as an active ingredient.

It is a disassembled perspective view which shows the bed for sericulture used with the manufacturing method of aseptic rice cake powder of this invention. It is a top view which shows an example of the equipment used with the manufacturing method of the same aseptic powder.
