Description

  The present invention is a food for people whose function of mastication (biting) or swallowing (swallowing) is reduced, such as elderly people or those with sequelae of cerebral infarction (hereinafter referred to as “swallowing food”). It is related with the manufacturing method of bread-like foodstuffs suitable as.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a swallowing meal, a “savory meal” in which ingredients are finely chopped and a “mixer meal” in which ingredients are pasted with a mixer are well known. These swallowing meals do not require a person to chew the ingredients, so by using such a food form, a variety of foods can be provided to those who have reduced chewing / swallowing functions. be able to. For this reason, kisami meals and mixer meals are very commonly provided as swallowing meals in hospitals and care facilities.

  However, these swallowing meals are in a state of finely chopped foods or a highly viscous paste, so for those who eat them, it is difficult to form a bolus and is a form that is very difficult to swallow, There is a problem. And this problem increases the number of coughs and mussels of those who eat these, and in some cases, finely chopped ingredients enter the person's trachea (aspiration) In the worst case, it has also caused aspiration pneumonia.

  In addition, these swallowing meals tend to be frustrated that people who eat are `` I don't know what they are eating '', and it is difficult to give them eating pleasure, satisfaction, etc. is there. This problem also causes a decrease in the appetite of people who eat swallowing food, and there is also a problem that by eating swallowing food, people who should maintain and recover physical strength cannot be given sufficient benefits from eating. is there.

  In particular, this problem appears remarkably when breads represented by bread and the like are swallowed. If bread is used as a meal, it is no longer a bread, and such a food form cannot provide the original taste of bread to those who eat it.

  Under such circumstances, the present inventor has intensively studied a method for producing breads suitable for swallowing while having the same appearance and taste as conventional breads. As a result, the present inventor obtained the knowledge that by a completely new method that has not been conventionally available, it is possible to produce a bread-like food that can be enjoyed with the same appearance and taste as conventional breads, while being swallowed food, The present invention has been created.

  In applying the present invention, the applicant investigated the past patent documents and the like, and as a result, found the following documents concerning the technology related to swallowing food. However, the technical idea and the like according to the present invention were described in detail. I couldn't find what I mentioned.

JP 2007-228834 A

  An object of this invention is to provide the manufacturing method of the bread-like food which can enjoy the external appearance and taste which are not different from the conventional breads, although it is a swallowing meal.

  As a means therefor, a method for producing a bread-like food for swallowing food according to the present invention comprises raw bread crumbs, 180 to 220% by weight of milk of the raw bread crumbs, and 4 to 6% by weight of sugar of the raw bread crumbs. The mixture is heated to 90 ° C. or higher, stirred, and then added with a thickening polysaccharide, and then cooled to obtain a bread-like food having a predetermined shape.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, although it is swallowing food, the manufacturing method of the bread-like foodstuff which can enjoy the external appearance and taste which are not different from the conventional bread can be provided. In addition, since the bread-like food for swallowing food according to the present invention has a predetermined shape, it is easy for swallowers to form a bolus and can be made into a food form that is very easy to swallow. Therefore, the number of coughs and mussels of those who eat these can be reduced, and the cause of aspiration and aspiration pneumonia can be eliminated.

  In addition, the bread-like food for swallowing food according to the present invention has the same appearance and deliciousness as conventional breads, so that the person who eats it can enjoy the enjoyment and satisfaction of the meal. . Furthermore, this has the effect that the appetite of the person who eats swallowing food is promoted, and the maintenance and recovery of the physical strength of these persons can also be expected.

  Hereinafter, the best mode for carrying out the method for producing a bread-like food for swallowing food according to the present invention will be described. In the present invention, “bread-like food” refers to food that is produced so as to have an appearance and taste similar to bread.

  First, raw bread crumbs, 180 to 220% by weight of milk of the raw bread crumbs, and 4 to 6% by weight of granulated sugar of the raw bread crumbs are prepared. And these prepared materials are mixed and this is heated to 90 degreeC or more. After that, these mixtures are put into a mixer, stirred well, weighed and put into a pan. Add the thickening polysaccharide to the pan containing the weighed mixture.

At this time, in order to surely dissolve the thickening polysaccharide in the mixture, it is preferable to once boil the mixture to which the thickening polysaccharide has been added. Further, the thickening polysaccharide may be added by adjusting the amount to the weighed mixture so that the bread-like food has a hardness suitable for swallowing, 500 to 2000 N / m ^2. preferable.

  Thereafter, the mixture to which the thickening polysaccharide has been added is taken out of the pan, poured into a wrapped container, and cooled to obtain a bread-like food for swallowing food according to the present embodiment having a predetermined shape.

  In the above embodiment, granulated sugar is used as sugar. However, in the present invention, sugar other than granulated sugar may be used as long as it is sugar.

  The “thickening polysaccharide” used in the present invention refers to a food additive for thickening food, and includes what are called thickening stabilizers and gelling agents. Examples of such thickening polysaccharides include the product “Hot Jelly Powder” of Food Care Co., Ltd. (Sagamihara City, Kanagawa Prefecture).

  Next, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the following examples.

  300 g of raw bread crumbs, 600 g of milk and 15 g of granulated sugar were prepared, and a mixture of these was obtained. The obtained mixture was put in a pan and boiled, then placed in a mixer and stirred well. Then weigh this mixture and put it in a pan again. While heating these, add 46g of “Hot Jelly Powder” product of Food Care Co., Ltd. (Sagamihara, Kanagawa) to this pan as a thickening polysaccharide. The mixture containing hot jelly powder was boiled.

  Thereafter, the boiled mixture was poured into a rectangular vat with wraps, and then cooled to obtain a rectangular bread-like food.

  This bread-like food had an appearance that was almost the same as general bread except the ears. Also, this bread-like food did not collapse when held by hand. Furthermore, when this bread-like food was eaten, it could be crushed only with tongue pressure, and it was confirmed that it was in a good state as a swallowing meal. I was also able to taste the deliciousness of the bread itself.
