Description

  The present invention relates to a diet food, and more particularly to a diet food that can not only reduce calorie intake but also prevent a decrease in immunity and make a healthy slimming.

  Numerous foods using ingredients such as konjac, agar, seaweed and mushrooms have been developed as diet foods that eliminate hunger and are low in calories. In particular, in konjac, taking advantage of the goodness of stomach by indigestible glucomannan (polysaccharide), JP-A-61-158759, JP-A-11-147, JP-A-11-75727 and JP Many inventions such as 2001-146 have been made, and a wide variety of diet foods are sold.

  Also, in recent years, low-calorie foods that take nutrients into account and those that use expanded foods that expand volume by absorbing moisture are known. For example, as disclosed in the following documents, rice bran (see Patent Document 1), moon peach leaf powder and seeker powder (see Patent Document 2), plant fermentation enzyme The thing using a powder (refer patent document 3), the thing using an insoluble dietary fiber (refer patent document 4), etc. are proposed.

JP 2007-68523 A JP 2006-2803366 A JP 2006-223293 A JP 2006-042816 A

  For example, examples of insoluble dietary fiber include dietary fibers that are sparingly soluble in water, such as cellulose, lignin, chitin, chitosan, arabinoxylan, arabinan, galactan, xyloglucan, and derivatives thereof. It is preferable to use those dietary fibers that have not been subjected to enzyme treatment. In addition, the food material containing these can also be used as an insoluble dietary fiber.

  However, although the diet foods by the above-mentioned conventional technology can expect a diet effect by using low-calorie foods and expanded foods, there is a problem that nutrients essential to the human body such as vitamins and minerals tend to be insufficient. In addition, the immunity of the intake person may be reduced. An object of the present invention is to provide a diet food that can not only suppress calorie intake but also prevent a decrease in immunity of the intake person and can be healthy.

  For this reason, the diet food of this invention makes it the 1st characteristic to use radish root, the powder of a leaf, and propolis powder as a main raw material. Further, as an auxiliary material, at least one selected from the group consisting of yogurt powder, skim milk, brewer's yeast, bifidobacteria, vitamin C, glucomannan, oligosaccharide, xylitol, glycymine, maltitol, thaumatin, yogurt flavor powder and grapefruit juice powder It is a 2nd characteristic to contain. Furthermore, the third feature is that rice flour is used for extraction and pulverization of propolis components with a mixed solvent of alcohol and water.

The present invention has the following excellent effects.
(1) Satisfaction with radish-rich fiber is obtained.
(2) Efficient intake of radish nutrients such as vitamins and minerals.
(3) By blending propolis, it is possible to prevent a decrease in immunity that tends to occur during dieting.
(4) Rich in refreshing feeling and deliciousness, easy to drink and continuous intake.

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described based on examples shown in the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a production process diagram of radish powder used in the diet food according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a production process diagram of propolis powder used in the diet food according to the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a production process diagram of diet food according to the present invention. is there.

  The diet food according to the present invention comprises radish root, leaf powder and propolis powder as basic materials, yogurt powder, skim milk (skim milk powder), brewer's yeast, bifidobacteria, vitamin C, glucomannan, oligosaccharide, xylitol, glycimine. Contains maltitol, thaumatin, yogurt flavor powder, grapefruit juice powder. Their blending ratio is shown in Table 1.

Here, each said component and its effect are demonstrated.
(Daikon radish powder): Daikon radish is a light-colored vegetable that contains a large amount of insoluble dietary fiber called lignin, and this lignin increases as the area exposed to air increases, for example by radish grated or shredded. In addition to inhibiting carcinogenesis, lignin eliminates hot flashes by improving blood flow. It also has a high iron, magnesium, and potassium content that keeps the mucous membrane strong and prevents stomatitis and caries.
It has an anti-inflammatory effect, and if it is taken with an appropriate amount of honey, it works against cough and voice. In addition, it excretes excess sodium outside the body, thereby lowering blood pressure and removing waste products. In addition, radish skin contains vitamin C and vitamin P that makes capillaries strong, and is effective in preventing stroke and cancer.

  In addition, radish contains a number of digestive enzymes and detoxifiers, such as amylase, a starch degrading enzyme, protease, protease, lipase, lipolytic enzyme, and oxidase that suppresses the generation of carcinogens. Contains certain enzymes. Diastase is often contained in gastrointestinal drugs and has the effect of preventing indigestion, stomach sag and heartburn. It also improves anorexia to improve indigestion.

  Enzymes such as lipolytic enzyme lipase, proteolytic enzyme protease, and ceterase improve digestion and absorption of food, increase metabolism, and activate the liver. Incidentally, since lipase is a digestive enzyme that breaks down fat into fatty acids, it has a function of reducing the built-in fat and subcutaneous fat accumulated in the body.

Next, sulforaphane, which is a kind of isothiocyanate that is a pungent component of radish, will be described.
Sulforaphane has been confirmed to have an action and an antioxidant action to activate the action of oxidase, a detoxifying enzyme. In addition, it has antibacterial and bactericidal action, and has the effect of preventing food poisoning by activating white blood cells and stomach. In animal experiments, antitumor properties and immune enhancement effects have been confirmed, and there is an action of inactivating Helicobacter pylori, which is said to be a cause of gastritis, gastric ulcer, and gastrointestinal cancer, and an action to protect eyes from ultraviolet rays. By the way, this sulforaphane is an ingredient found in broccoli sprouts, but it is an ingredient only found in cruciferous vegetables such as radish, broccoli and cabbage. There is an advantage that it is not done.

(Daikon leaf): Daikon leaf is a green-yellow vegetable. Compared with the nutritional component of the root part, the protein is 4.5 times, dietary fiber is about 3 times, calcium is 10 times, iron is 15 times, vitamin B1 is 4 times. Double, vitamin B12 is 16 times, vitamin C is about 5 times. In addition, it contains abundant carotene and other ingredients such as vitamin A, folic acid, sodium, and phosphorus. These ingredients strengthen the skin and internal mucous membranes to increase resistance to viruses and natural healing, and prevent vision loss and loss of energy.

  Vitamin B1 is effective in stabilizing the mind and nerves (strengthening antistress and concentration), vitamin B2 is effective in preventing fat metabolism and detoxification, and folic acid and iron are effective in preventing anemia due to decreased erythropoiesis. In addition, dried radish leaves are called dry leaves (hiba), and using the broth as a bathing agent can be used for various gynecological diseases such as coldness and menstrual pain, cold prevention, hemorrhoids, neuralgia, cystitis, etc. Is also effective. Although it contains an essential oil, it has a moisturizing effect on the skin.

(Yogurt powder): The human body is weakly acidic to protect the stomach and intestines from viruses. However, the intestines tend to be alkaline due to changes in dietary habits and stress. The cause is "bad bacteria", which creates a spoilage substance and reduces immunity. Lactic acid bacteria contained in yogurt can increase intestinal activity and improve constipation and diarrhea. When the intestinal environment is in place, nutrients are absorbed smoothly and promote metabolism.

(Skim milk: nonfat dry milk): Skim milk increases immunity by increasing Bifidobacteria and lactic acid bacteria, which are good bacteria in the intestines, and maintains a constitution that is difficult to suffer from diseases. Skimmed milk has a good stomach and low calories. Tryptophan (protein) contained in skim milk has a function to relieve stress. The abundant proteins are essential nutrients not only for making muscles, bones, skin, hair, nails, organs, blood vessels, but also blood, enzymes, hormones, and neurotransmitters. Relieve stress and rebound due to reduced basal metabolism and diet.

(Beer yeast): Contains about 50% of proteins composed of various important amino acids including 8 essential amino acids essential to the human body. In addition to vitamins that help maintain energy metabolism and the health of the skin and mucous membranes, it contains abundant nutritional components such as important minerals such as calcium and magnesium, and trace minerals such as chromium and selenium. In addition, dietary fibers such as glucan and mannan occupy about 30%, clean the intestines, and supplement vitamins and minerals that are often deficient in daily life as well as diet effects.

(Bifidobacteria): Bifidobacteria are fermentative bacteria contained in yogurt, create an intestinal environment that prevents the growth of bad bacteria, activate intestinal activity by the action of lactic acid and acetic acid, improve constipation, vitamins and minerals Improves absorption. In addition, bifidobacteria also have functions such as the production of vitamin B group and the degradation of cholesterol, and the function of promoting cell division is also useful for health maintenance and beauty.

(Vitamin C): Maintains skin tension that tends to be rough when dieting, prevents spots and wrinkles, and increases resistance to viruses and bacteria. It also helps relieve stress during dieting. In addition, it plays an important role in the generation and retention of collagen.

(Glucomannan): Glucomannan is a water-soluble dietary fiber that expands when it contains water. For this reason, when it is ingested with water, a feeling of fullness is brought about, excessive eating is prevented in advance, and excessive intake of calories can be suppressed. In addition, the movement of the large intestine is activated and the bowel movement is improved.

(Oligosaccharides): Oligosaccharides have a substance that serves as a nutrient for bifidobacteria called bifido factor, and the bifidobacteria take in and grows. In addition, since oligosaccharides are difficult to digest and absorb, they can reach the large intestine without being digested in the stomach or small intestine. Because of its low energy, it is preferable as a saccharide in diet foods.

(Xylitol): Xylitol is a natural pentose sugar alcohol and is contained in many fruits and vegetables. Although it has almost the same sweetness as sugar, it has lower energy than sugar. Since it is metabolized in the liver without using the power of insulin and used as energy, it is also used in diabetics.

(Glytimine): An extract of licorice, a leguminous perennial plant from temperate regions such as China, Siberia, the Middle East, and Europe. It contains a sweetening ingredient called glycyrrhizin and is used as a sweetener. It is also used as an analgesic.

(Maltitol): Maltitol is a disaccharide alcohol made from maltose (maltose). It has a mild sugar-like sweetness, is stable to acids and alkalis, has low hygroscopicity, and has excellent thermal stability. ing. It is low in calories (half of sugar), does not require insulin secretion for metabolism, and has a moderate increase in blood glucose level after ingestion, so it can be suitably used for diabetics and obese patients.

(Propolis powder): Brazilian Eucalyptus-Alectrin-derived propolis has immune activity, bactericidal activity, antibacterial activity, antioxidant activity, cell regeneration and activation activity. Prevents immunity loss that can occur during a diet.

(Saumatine): A protein sweetener extracted from the seeds of the plants of the family Zucumaceae that grows in West Africa, has a sweetness 3000 to 8000 times that of sugar, and has almost no calories. In addition to sweetness, it has a flavor enhancing effect and can enhance the flavor of food.

(Yogurt flavor powder): Used to finish yogurt flavor.

(Grapefruit juice powder): Grapefruit scent is attracting attention while stress is also a cause of obesity. Limonene, an essential oil component of grapefruit, is transmitted to the brain through the nasal cavity, and the sympathetic nerves are immediately activated. The sympathetic nerve controls breathing and pulse, promotes blood circulation, raises blood pressure and blood sugar level, suppresses gastrointestinal functions, and adjusts the body to a state suitable for activity. It also has a refreshing flavor.

  Hereinafter, the manufacturing method of the diet food which concerns on this invention is demonstrated.

[Manufacture of radish and radish leaf powder]
As shown in FIG. 1, first, as a pre-cleaning step, the radish and radish leaves are washed with running water to remove dirt such as adhering mud.
