Description

  The present invention relates to a plum product granular product.

  Plum seeds are rich in organic acids such as citric acid, amino acids such as aspartic acid, and minerals such as potassium. Therefore, as a food for enhancing health, plum fruits have been widely consumed after being processed into various forms. Examples of the various forms include umeboshi, ume plum, plum wine, plum meat extract and the like. Umeboshi is known to have a fatigue recovery effect, an arteriosclerosis preventive effect, a cancer / aging prevention effect, and the like. In addition, ume plum is a herbal medicine made from smoked ume fruits, and effects such as antitussive, expectorant, antiemetic, antipyretic are known. Furthermore, a plum meat extract is produced by simmering plum juice for a long time, and its action for regulating intestines is known. In addition, according to the Japan Health and Nutrition Food Association (http //: www.jhnfa.org/), a product standard of 45% or more organic acid (citric acid equivalent) is called plum extract. In the present invention, ume meat extract includes ume extract.

  In recent years, it has been found that this plum extract contains umefural.

  This umefural is an ingredient that is not originally contained in plums, but in the process of simmering plum juice, it has been found that citric acid and some sugars in the plum juice react to be converted to umefural. ing. This memfural is known to have an effect of remarkably improving blood flow by a synergistic effect with citric acid among a large amount of organic acids held by plum (see, for example, Patent Document 1). Since such excellent health promoting effects have been known, it has been recommended that ume meat extract be ingested as a health food for a long period of time.

  Since this plum extract is a highly viscous liquid, it was necessary to use a tool such as a spoon to ingest it, and it could not be carried directly into the mouth by hand. Even in this case, the plum extract had a very high viscosity, so that the extract remained on the spoon and was difficult to remove and was not easy to handle. Moreover, since the plum extract has a very high citric acid concentration and has a strong sour and bitter taste, it is not easy to ingest itself directly from the aspect of flavor. Under such circumstances, it has not been easy to continue to ingest the plum extract by a method of carrying it directly to the mouth. Thus, conventionally, various ume meat extract granular products that have been processed to make it easier to take the ume meat extract have been known. As such a plum extract granular product, for example, a plum extract granular product containing a plum extract, a freeze-dried powder of plum extract, and a dried yam powder (see, for example, Patent Document 2), plum A plum extract granular product containing meat extract and dried yam powder was known.

Since the said ume meat extract granular product is processed into the granular product so that it may be easy to ingest, it is a suitable form to continue ingesting. However, since the ume meat extract is processed by adding a large amount of dried powder of yam, etc., the amount of the ume meat extract itself is not so high. Therefore, in order to increase the intake amount of the plum extract itself when taking the granular product of the plum extract, it is necessary to increase the content of the plum extract contained in the granular product of the plum extract. In addition, ume meat extract granular products need both the hardness to maintain the shape as a product for a long time and the softness to adjust the disintegration property in the stomach, so the ume meat extract granular product has both It was necessary to have the physical properties. However, in the conventional ume meat extract granular product processed by adding dried powder of yam, etc., if the blending amount of the ume meat extract is 50% or more, for example, the plum meat extract itself becomes too soft due to the high viscosity. It was difficult to keep the shape as a meat extract granular product for a long time.
Patent No. 3001095 Japanese Patent Publication No.57-33937

  Therefore, the present invention is not affected by the blending amount of plum extract, and plum meat having hardness for achieving both a hardness for maintaining a shape as a product for a long time and a softness for adjusting disintegration in the stomach The purpose is to provide granular extract products.

  The present invention is a plum product granular product comprising plum extract and dried plum powder.

  Since the present invention uses a dried ume pulp powder, it is not affected by the amount of ume meat extract, so that both hardness for maintaining the shape as a product for a long time and softness for adjusting disintegration in the stomach can be achieved. It is possible to provide a plum product granular product having a hardness of.

  In the present invention, the method for producing the ume meat extract is not limited, and examples thereof include a method of simmering the squeezed juice of ume flesh for a long time while taking a scum or the like. Moreover, this plum meat extract, for example, washes plums, separates the fruits and seeds of the plums (cooker treatment and pulper treatment), obtains squeezed juice from the separated fruits of the plums (clarifier treatment), It can also be produced by kneading the juice using a steaming machine.

  Another method for producing the ume meat extract includes, for example, a method using ume vinegar produced after pickling umeboshi. Specifically, the method using ume vinegar is a method of desalting ume vinegar to obtain plum juice and kneading this plum juice using a steaming machine.

  Examples of plums used as a raw material for the plum extract are plums belonging to the genus Rosaceae, and include, for example, Minamitakaume, Kojo, Shirakaga, Yoro, Nagatsuka, Tamhide, Kashijuku, Koshu Koume, and the like.

  The plum extract used in the present invention contains, for example, 10 to 20 g of water and 1 to 3 g of umefural per 100 g of plum extract.

  The dried plum pulp according to the present invention can be produced, for example, by drying the pulp after squeezed juice from plum pulp and crushing the dried product. Specifically, for example, the plums are washed, the plums and seeds are separated (cooker treatment and pulper treatment), the juice is obtained from the separated plums (clarifier treatment), and the fruit pulp content of the plums Is dried at 40 to 80 ° C., preferably 50 to 60 ° C. for 10 to 30 hours, preferably 20 hours. The dried pulp content obtained can be pulverized to obtain a dried plum pulp powder. Furthermore, sieving can be performed in order to make the particle size of the dry powder uniform.

  The dried plum pulp used in the present invention contains, for example, 0.5 to 20 g, preferably 2 to 10 g of water and 50 to 90 g, preferably 60 to 80 g of dietary fiber per 100 g of dried plum pulp.

  The particle size of the dried plum pulp used in the present invention is not particularly limited and may be any particle size. The particle size of the dried ume pulp powder is, for example, 30 to 120 mesh, preferably 50 to 110 mesh, and more preferably 60 to 100 mesh.

  Moreover, in this invention, the particle size of the said ume pulp dried powder may be one type, and may use two or more types together. It is preferable to use two or more kinds of particle sizes of the dried ume pulp powder. This is because when two or more types are used in combination, the texture of the obtained ume meat extract granular product is further improved and the disintegration property is further improved. In the ume meat extract granular product of the present invention, when the ume pulp dry powder having two or more particle sizes is used, if the blending ratio of the ume pulp dry powder having a smaller particle size is increased, the ume meat extract The grain of the granular product becomes hard, the texture becomes harder, and the disintegration also decreases. On the other hand, in the ume meat extract granular product of the present invention, when the ume pulp dried powder having two or more particle sizes is used, the ume pulp dried powder having a larger particle size is increased in proportion to the ume plum dried powder. The surface of the meat extract granular product becomes rough, the texture becomes softer, and the disintegration is improved. In consideration of these characteristics, in the ume meat extract granular product of the present invention, when using the ume pulp dry powder having two or more particle sizes, the ume pulp dry powder having a smaller particle size, It is possible to adjust the blending ratio with the dried ume pulp powder having a larger. For example, in the ume meat extract granular product of the present invention, when the ume pulp dried powder having two types of particle sizes is used, the ume pulp dried powder having a smaller particle size and the ume pulp dried powder having a larger particle size. The blending ratio is in a weight ratio, for example, the dried ume pulp powder having a smaller particle size (A) / the dried ume pulp powder having a larger particle size (B) = 0.05 to 15.0, preferably 0.1 to 10.0.

  In the present invention, the granular product is intended to be in the form of grains. The form of the particles is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include pill form, tablet form, chewable tablet form, and sugar-coated tablet form.

  As described above, the ume meat extract granular product of the present invention includes a ume meat extract and a dried plum fruit powder. In the ume meat extract granular product of the present invention, the content of the ume meat extract is not limited, but is, for example, 20 to 80% by weight, preferably 40 to 80% by weight, more preferably 50 to 80% by weight, 60 More preferably, it is -70 weight%. The ume meat extract granular product of the present invention can adjust the hardness of the ume meat extract granular product even when the content of the ume meat extract is 50% by weight or more by using the dried ume pulp powder. It is.

  Moreover, in the ume meat extract granular product of this invention, the content rate of the said ume pulp dried powder is 20 to 80 weight%, for example, 30 to 50 weight% is preferable and 30 to 45 weight% is more preferable.

  Since the plum extract containing umefural is used, it is preferable that the granular product of the ume extract of the present invention contains umefural. Moreover, as content of this umemefural, it is 0.2-2g with respect to 100g of said ume meat extract granular products, 0.5-2.0g is preferable, and 1.0-2.0g is more preferable.

  The plum extract granular product of the present invention has an excellent effect that the content of umefural in the product is high. This effect is considered to be derived from the fact that the decomposition of umefural is suppressed when the ume extract granular product is produced because the moisture content of the dried ume pulp powder is low and the acidity is high.

  It is preferable that the ume meat extract granular product of the present invention further contains oil. Examples of the oil include ume seed oil, safflower oil, rapeseed oil, olive oil, avocado oil, peanut oil, cottonseed oil, soybean oil, nut oil, sunflower oil, corn oil, sesame oil, and siri oil. As the oil, plum seed oil is preferable. The plum seed oil was obtained, for example, by washing the plum, separating the plum and seeds (cooker treatment and pulper treatment), and obtaining the oil of the separated plum seeds using an oil press. Plum seed shells can be removed from the oil by filtration using a filter or by centrifugation using a centrifuge.

  When the oil is contained in the ume meat extract granular product of the present invention, the content of the oil is, for example, 0.2 to 7.0% by weight, preferably 1 to 5% by weight, and 3 to 4% by weight. % Is more preferable.

  In the ume meat extract granular product of the present invention, the ume meat extract has a hardness of, for example, 4 to 12 kg, preferably 5 to 10 kg, and more preferably 6 to 9 kg. This is because if the hardness is 4 to 12 kg, the hardness for maintaining the shape for a long period of time as the product and the hardness for making the softness compatible to adjust the disintegration property in the stomach are sufficient. In addition, the said hardness can be measured as follows, for example. First, the plum meat extract is placed on the sample stage, the pressure attachment is gradually lowered, and the sample is pressurized. Then, the maximum pressure weight when the sample is crushed is measured as the fracture hardness of the sample, that is, the hardness.

  The ume meat extract granular product of the present invention may contain other components. Examples of other components include dried yam powder, rice powder, corn starch, molasses, siri extract, sugars, vitamins, minerals, coenzyme Q10, and isoflavones. In the ume meat extract granular product of the present invention, an allergen such as dried yam powder is not an essential component. Therefore, when the ume meat extract granular product of the present invention does not contain the allergen, there is an advantage that the risk of causing an allergic reaction is low.
