Description

本発明は、キノコから抽出したエルゴチオネインを高含有する組成物、及びこの組成物を有効成分として含んでなる、抗酸化作用、美白作用、抗アクネ作用、脱毛予防、養毛作用、抗老化作用、抗メタボリックシンドローム作用を有する剤に関する。  The present invention is a composition containing a high content of ergothioneine extracted from mushrooms, and an antioxidant, whitening action, anti-acne action, hair loss prevention, hair restoration action, anti-aging action, comprising this composition as an active ingredient, The present invention relates to an agent having an anti-metabolic syndrome action.

近年、エルゴチオネインは、その抗酸化特性に注目され、食品用、化粧用あるいは医薬用として注目されつつある。かかるエルゴチオネインは人間が体内で合成できないため、外から摂取しなければならない。エルゴチオネインを人間が摂取するには、通常、菌類とマイコバクテリアによって生合成されたエルゴチオネインを、根から吸収した植物を摂取することによって可能である。しかし、植物中に存在するエルゴチオネインは極めて少量であるため、充分な量のエルゴチオネインを摂取するには極めて大量の植物を食しなければならない。このため、エルゴチオネインを大量に製造すべく、エルゴチオネインの製造方法として、化学合成法(特許文献1)や発酵法(特許文献2)が提案されている。  In recent years, ergothioneine has attracted attention for its antioxidant properties and has been attracting attention as a food, cosmetic or pharmaceutical product. Such ergothioneine cannot be synthesized in the body and must be taken from the outside. In order to ingest ergothioneine by humans, it is usually possible to ingest plants that have absorbed ergothioneine biosynthesized by fungi and mycobacteria from the roots. However, since the amount of ergothioneine present in plants is extremely small, a very large amount of plants must be eaten in order to consume a sufficient amount of ergothioneine. Therefore, in order to produce ergothioneine in large quantities, chemical synthesis methods (Patent Document 1) and fermentation methods (Patent Document 2) have been proposed as methods for producing ergothioneine.

このエルゴチオネインの製造方法としての化学合成法や発酵法によれば、植物を食することなくエルゴチオネインを摂取可能にできる。しかし、化学合成法によれば、その工程が複雑となるため、得られるエルゴチオネインの製造コストが極めて高額となる。しかも、化学合成法では、その工程で種々の薬品を用いるため、得られたエルゴチオネインは安全面から問題がある。一方発酵法では、菌類を用いてエルゴチオネインを製造しており、化学合成法に比較して、安全面では優れているが、その収量が少ないため、得られるエルゴチオネインの製造コストは依然として極めて高額である。  According to the chemical synthesis method or the fermentation method as the production method of ergothioneine, ergothioneine can be ingested without eating the plant. However, according to the chemical synthesis method, since the process becomes complicated, the production cost of the obtained ergothioneine is extremely high. In addition, since various chemicals are used in the chemical synthesis method, the obtained ergothioneine is problematic from the viewpoint of safety. On the other hand, in the fermentation method, ergothioneine is produced using fungi, which is superior in safety compared to the chemical synthesis method, but the production cost of the obtained ergothioneine is still very high because of its low yield. .

女性にとって外見の美しさは日常生活に欠かせない要素であり、また近年では女性の社会進出が進んでおり、とりわけ肌の美しさに多くの女性の関心が集まっている。一方で加齢や紫外線、生活上のストレスなどの要因で、シミ・そばかすや肌荒れ、シミ、たるみ、ニキビなどの肌上の悩みは進行してしまうのが現状であり、肌の種々の悩み・トラブルに対応した健康食品、化粧料が数多く販売されている。また主として男性の加齢とともに進行する悩みである薄毛も、外観に大きく影響し、発毛や育毛・養毛をコンセプトに謳った製品も近年多く見られる。こうした外観上の悩みを解決してくれる化粧料の開発は、機能性化粧品として数多く発売されているものの、高額であることが多々ある。  The beauty of appearance for women is an indispensable element in their daily lives, and in recent years, women's social advancement has progressed, and in particular, many women are interested in the beauty of skin. On the other hand, due to factors such as aging, ultraviolet rays, and life stress, skin problems such as spots, freckles, rough skin, spots, sagging, acne, etc. are progressing. Numerous health foods and cosmetics are available for troubleshooting. In addition, thin hair, which is a problem that progresses mainly with aging of men, has a significant effect on appearance, and many products have been found in recent years that are based on the concept of hair growth, hair growth, and hair growth. The development of cosmetics that solve these external problems has been released as many functional cosmetics, but they are often expensive.

飽食の時代と言われる現代において、メタボリックシンドロームに関心を示す人が多く見られる。メタボリックシンドロームとは動脈硬化性疾患(心筋梗塞や脳梗塞など)の危険性を高める複合型リスク症候群のことで、別名「内臓脂肪症候群」とも言われる。メタボリックシンドローム対応製品とは主として「高血圧」「高脂血症」「糖尿病」などの疾患に対する作用を持った医薬品や機能性食品を差し、その開発・発売は近年著しく増加している。また、高齢化社会が急速に進んでいる今日において、人々は、高齢化後も、活発に日常生活を送りたいという共通の願いを抱いている。その願望に応えるべく、医薬品や機能性食品分野における抗老化対応製品の企画、開発が目覚ましく行われている。しかしながら、このような医薬品・機能性食品の中には、伝承に基づいただけの製品も多く、使用においてその安全性が懸念される。また、化学合成医薬品においては副作用が懸念され、その服用に注意を払うことが必須とされる。従って、動物に対して有効かつ安心して使用できる組成物の開発が求められている。  Many people are interested in the metabolic syndrome in the modern age of satiation. Metabolic syndrome is a complex risk syndrome that increases the risk of arteriosclerotic diseases (such as myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction) and is also known as “visceral fat syndrome”. Metabolic syndrome products mainly include drugs and functional foods that have an effect on diseases such as “hypertension”, “hyperlipidemia”, and “diabetes”, and their development and sales have increased remarkably in recent years. Moreover, in today's rapidly aging society, people have a common desire to live a daily life even after aging. In order to meet this desire, the planning and development of anti-aging products in the field of pharmaceuticals and functional foods are remarkable. However, many of such pharmaceuticals and functional foods are based on tradition, and there are concerns about their safety in use. In addition, side effects of chemical synthetic drugs are a concern and it is essential to pay attention to their use. Accordingly, there is a demand for the development of a composition that can be used effectively and safely on animals.

本発明による組成物は、エルゴチオネインが、0.05重量%以上で含有されてなるものが好ましい。  The composition according to the present invention preferably contains ergothioneine in an amount of 0.05% by weight or more.

原料
原料は、本発明にあっては、ヒラタケ科に属するキノコであって、エルゴチオネインを含有するものであればいずれのものも使用することができる。本発明において好ましいキノコとしては、その種類、産地等は特に限定されず、具体的には、ヒラタケ科のタモギタケ、ヒラタケ、エリンギ、エノキタケ等が挙げられ、中でもタモギタケ(Pleurotus cornucopiae(Pers)Rolland.)が好ましい。なお本発明において言う「キノコ」とは、茎部分と傘部分とから成る子実体はもちろんのこと、石槌部分も含む。また、「キノコ」は生のものでも乾燥したものでも使用することができる。
Raw material In the present invention, any raw material may be used as long as it is a mushroom belonging to the oyster mushroom family and contains ergothioneine. The mushrooms preferred in the present invention are not particularly limited in type, production area, and the like, and specifically, octopus bamboo, oyster mushroom, eringi, enokitake, etc. Is preferred. The “mushroom” referred to in the present invention includes not only a fruit body composed of a stem portion and an umbrella portion but also a sarcophagus portion. In addition, “mushrooms” can be used either raw or dried.

本発明において、キノコとして人工栽培されたキノコ及び液体培養した菌子体を用いることによって、さらにエルゴチオネインの製造コストを安価にできる。  In the present invention, the production cost of ergothionein can be further reduced by using artificially cultivated mushrooms and liquid cultured mycelia as mushrooms.

抽出
本発明では、エルゴチオネイン含有のキノコを溶媒によってエルゴチオネインを抽出する。この抽出は、キノコを粉砕し溶媒で抽出すること、特にキノコの粉砕を溶媒中で行い、キノコを粉砕しつつ抽出することが、キノコからエルゴチオネインを短時間でかつ充分に抽出でき好ましい。この粉砕は、市販の粉砕機で行うことができる。
かかる溶媒としては、キノコ中のエルゴチオネインを抽出できる溶媒、例えばアセトンでも用いることができるが、人体に摂取しても問題のない溶媒、例えば水やエチルアルコールが好ましい。
キノコを粉砕し溶媒で抽出した場合には、キノコの粉砕物と溶媒からなるスラリーから、エルゴチオネインを抽出した抽出液を固形分と分離する。かかる分離操作では、スラリーをろ紙などのろ材を用いて吸引した後、ろ液にアルコール溶液を添加し静置して沈殿物を沈澱させた後、沈殿物と液体とをろ紙等のろ材を用いて吸引ろ過して分離した抽出液を得る。あるいは、スラリーをろ紙などのろ材を用いて吸引ろ過した後、ろ液を凍結乾燥しても良い。
この様に、エルゴチオネイン含有キノコをスラリー状とするには、キノコを粉砕してスラリー化することを要する。
この点、エルゴチオネイン含有のキノコからエルゴチオネインの抽出を熱水抽出で行うことによって、キノコをスラリー化することなく行うことができる。かかる熱水抽出によれば、手で千切ったキノコを熱水中で保持することによって、エルゴチオネインを抽出できる。このため、キノコの粉砕およびスラリー化等の工程を省略できかつエルゴチオネイン含有の抽出液のろ過等を容易に行うことができる。
Extraction In the present invention, ergothioneine is extracted from a mushroom containing ergothioneine with a solvent. In this extraction, mushrooms are pulverized and extracted with a solvent. In particular, mushrooms are pulverized in a solvent and extracted while pulverizing the mushrooms because ergothioneine can be sufficiently extracted from the mushrooms in a short time. This pulverization can be performed with a commercially available pulverizer.
As such a solvent, a solvent capable of extracting ergothioneine in mushrooms, such as acetone, can be used, but a solvent that does not cause any problem even if ingested by humans, such as water or ethyl alcohol, is preferable.
When mushrooms are pulverized and extracted with a solvent, an extract from which ergothioneine is extracted is separated from a solid content from a slurry made of the pulverized mushroom and a solvent. In such a separation operation, the slurry is sucked using a filter medium such as filter paper, and then an alcohol solution is added to the filtrate and left to stand to precipitate a precipitate. Then, the precipitate and liquid are filtered using a filter medium such as filter paper. To obtain a separated extract by suction filtration. Alternatively, the filtrate may be freeze-dried after the slurry is suction filtered using a filter medium such as filter paper.
Thus, in order to make the ergothioneine-containing mushroom into a slurry, it is necessary to pulverize the mushroom into a slurry.
In this regard, extraction of ergothioneine from ergothioneine-containing mushrooms by hot water extraction can be performed without slurrying the mushrooms. According to such hot water extraction, ergothioneine can be extracted by holding mushrooms cut by hand in hot water. For this reason, steps such as pulverization and slurrying of mushrooms can be omitted, and filtration of the ergothioneine-containing extract can be easily performed.

濃縮/精製
この様にして得られた抽出物を、吸着クロマトグラフィーを用いた分画手段によって分画する。この吸着クロマトグラフィーとしては、カラムに粒状の吸着剤が充填されたカラムクロマトグラフィーを好適に用いることができる。
さらに、かかるカラムクロマトグラフィーによって分画された複数の分画液について、ゲル状の吸着剤が薄層に形成された薄層クロマトグラフィーを用いて検査し、エルゴチオネインを含有する分画液を集める。この様に、エルゴチオネインを含有する分画液を集めることによって、その後の処理を効率的に施すことができる。
このカラムクロマトグラフィーでは、アルミナ等の粒状の吸着剤に、分離操作で分離した抽出物を付着させた後、吸着剤をカラムに充填してエタノール−水で展開し、溶出液をフリクションコレクターで分画する。
また、薄層クロマトグラフィーでは、シリカゲル等のゲル状の吸着剤から成る薄層に、複数の分画液をスポット状に滴下し、メタノール−水で展開する。スポットの移動距離を溶媒の移動距離で割ったRf値が、0.27でかつUV(254nm)でクエンチングを示す成分を含む分画液を集める。かかる分画液中には、エルゴチオネインを含有している。
Concentration / Purification The extract thus obtained is fractionated by fractionation means using adsorption chromatography. As this adsorption chromatography, column chromatography in which a column is filled with a granular adsorbent can be suitably used.
Furthermore, about the several fraction liquid fractionated by this column chromatography, it investigates using the thin layer chromatography in which the gel-like adsorption agent was formed in the thin layer, and the fraction liquid containing an ergothioneine is collected. Thus, the subsequent process can be efficiently performed by collecting the fraction solution containing ergothioneine.
In this column chromatography, an extract separated by a separation operation is attached to a particulate adsorbent such as alumina, and then the adsorbent is packed into a column and developed with ethanol-water, and the eluate is separated with a friction collector. Draw.
In thin layer chromatography, a plurality of fractions are dropped in a thin layer made of a gel-like adsorbent such as silica gel and developed with methanol-water. Fractions containing a component that has a Rf value obtained by dividing the distance of movement of the spot by the distance of movement of the solvent is 0.27 and exhibits quenching by UV (254 nm) are collected. Such a fraction contains ergothioneine.

ところで、エルゴチオネインは、両性イオン構造を有するため、分離操作で分離したエルゴチオネイン含有抽出液をイオン交換樹脂に通液することによって、エルゴチオネインを糖類等の非イオン性化合物から分離できる。ただし、アミノ酸などのイオン性化合物は、イオン交換樹脂に吸着されやすく、イオン交換樹脂のみでは、エルゴチオネインをアミノ酸等のイオン性化合物と分離できない。
このため、エルゴチオネイン含有の抽出液を分画する分画手段としては、イオン交換樹脂と吸着クロマトグラフィーとを併用した分画手段を採用できる。このイオン交換樹脂としては、陽イオン交換樹脂を好適に用いることができる。
かかる分画手段では、分離操作で分離したエルゴチオネイン含有の抽出液をイオン交換樹脂に通液し、複数の分取液を分取する。この際に、エルゴチオネイン含有の抽出液をイオン交換樹脂に付着させた後、アンモニア希釈液などのアルカリ溶液を通液して、イオン交換樹脂に付着していたエルゴチオネインを溶出させて分取する。分取した複数の分取液については、ゲル状の吸着剤が薄層に形成された薄層クロマトグラフィーを用いて検査し、エルゴチオネインを含有する分取液を集める。
By the way, since ergothioneine has a zwitterionic structure, ergothioneine can be separated from nonionic compounds such as saccharides by passing the ergothioneine-containing extract separated in the separation operation through an ion exchange resin. However, ionic compounds such as amino acids are easily adsorbed on the ion exchange resin, and ergothioneine cannot be separated from ionic compounds such as amino acids only by the ion exchange resin.
For this reason, as a fractionation means for fractionating an ergothioneine-containing extract, a fractionation means using an ion exchange resin and adsorption chromatography can be employed. As this ion exchange resin, a cation exchange resin can be suitably used.
In such fractionation means, the ergothioneine-containing extract separated by the separation operation is passed through an ion exchange resin, and a plurality of fractionated solutions are collected. At this time, an ergothioneine-containing extract is attached to the ion exchange resin, and then an alkaline solution such as an ammonia dilution is passed through to elute and separate the ergothioneine attached to the ion exchange resin. A plurality of fractionated liquids are inspected using thin layer chromatography in which a gel-like adsorbent is formed in a thin layer, and a fractional liquid containing ergothioneine is collected.

集めた分取液は、必要に応じて塩酸等の酸を用いて中和した後、塩化アンモニウム等の塩や不純物を除去すべく、ゲルろ過カラムクロマトグラフィーを用いて複数の分画液に分画しても良い。この場合も、ゲル状の吸着剤が薄層に形成された薄層クロマトグラフィーを用いて検査し、エルゴチオネインを含有する分取液を集める。なお脱塩には電気透析装置を用いることもできる。
集められたエルゴチオネインを含有する分取液は、吸着クロマトグラフィーを用いて複数の分画液に分画する。この吸着クロマトグラフィーは、カラムに粒状の吸着剤が充填されたカラムクロマトグラフィーを好適に用いることができる。
さらにかかるカラムクロマトグラフィーによって分画された複数の分画液についても、ゲル状の吸着剤が薄層に形成された薄層クロマトグラフィーを用いて検査し、エルゴチオネインを含有する分画液を集める。
The collected fraction is neutralized with an acid such as hydrochloric acid, if necessary, and then separated into multiple fractions using gel filtration column chromatography to remove salts and impurities such as ammonium chloride. You may draw. In this case, the gel-like adsorbent is examined using a thin layer chromatography in which a thin layer is formed, and an ergothioneine-containing fraction is collected. An electrodialyzer can also be used for desalting.
The collected fraction containing ergothioneine is fractionated into a plurality of fractions using adsorption chromatography. As this adsorption chromatography, column chromatography in which a column is filled with a granular adsorbent can be suitably used.
Further, a plurality of fractions fractionated by such column chromatography are also examined using thin layer chromatography in which a gel-like adsorbent is formed in a thin layer, and fractions containing ergothioneine are collected.

乾燥/乾燥物
本発明の別の態様によれば、抽出物または溶媒を除去した抽出物を、乾燥し、乾燥物を得ることができる。本発明において、乾燥方法は、天日乾燥、(熱)風乾燥、真空乾燥、通気乾燥、流動乾燥、噴霧乾燥、凍結乾燥、減圧乾燥、赤外線乾燥、高周波乾燥、およびその他の乾燥法、またはこれらの混合方法が用いられるが、本発明においては、凍結乾燥が好ましくは利用される。この凍結乾燥を行う場合、凍結温度、乾燥(湿度)は得られる凍結乾燥物の量に併せて適宜設定することができる。
Dry / Dried Product According to another aspect of the present invention, the extract or the extract from which the solvent has been removed can be dried to obtain a dried product. In the present invention, the drying method includes sun drying, (hot) air drying, vacuum drying, aeration drying, fluidized drying, spray drying, freeze drying, vacuum drying, infrared drying, high frequency drying, and other drying methods, or these In the present invention, lyophilization is preferably used. When performing this lyophilization, the freezing temperature and drying (humidity) can be appropriately set according to the amount of the lyophilized product to be obtained.

以上、説明してきた本発明に係るエルゴチオネインを高含有する組成物の製造方法では、原料として用いるキノコに含まれているエルゴチオネインを、容易に抽出、濃縮及び精製できる。このため、エルゴチオネインの製造コストを、合成法や発酵法に比較して大幅に低減できる。
また、抽出液や展開液を水や水−エタノールを用いることができ、人体に対して安全でかつ処理済液の処理も容易である。
さらに、人工栽培のキノコを原料に用いることができ、キノコの消費量が低下して生産調整がされる夏場でも安定してキノコを栽培できる。このため、キノコの人工栽培を年間を通じて安定して行うことができる。
As described above, in the method for producing a composition containing a large amount of ergothioneine according to the present invention, ergothioneine contained in mushrooms used as a raw material can be easily extracted, concentrated and purified. For this reason, the manufacturing cost of ergothioneine can be significantly reduced compared with the synthesis method and the fermentation method.
Moreover, water or water-ethanol can be used for the extract or the developing solution, and it is safe for the human body and easy to process the treated solution.
Furthermore, artificially grown mushrooms can be used as a raw material, and mushrooms can be cultivated stably even in summer when the consumption of mushrooms is reduced and production is adjusted. For this reason, artificial cultivation of mushrooms can be performed stably throughout the year.
