Description

  The present invention relates to a diet food for dogs and a method for producing the same.

  Conventionally, diet foods for humans and pets have been proposed (see Patent Documents 1 and 2).

JP2002003466 (abstract) JP2009-072077 (abstract)

Most obesity is caused by excessive caloric intake and reduced energy consumption. In order to refrain from excessive calorie intake, there is a method of reducing the amount of food intake itself. It is also effective to exercise to increase the amount of energy consumed.
However, it takes considerable will to continue dietary restrictions and calorie consuming exercises every day.

In particular, in the case of pets such as dogs, there are many cases where emotions become unstable, such as when the amount of food is reduced, wasteful barking increases. In addition, it is a heavy burden for the owner to walk the pet for a long time.
Furthermore, in the case of pets with food allergies, the food they are usually given cannot be easily changed.

  Therefore, the main object of the present invention is to provide a diet food for dogs that has a high diet effect and is full.

In order to achieve the above object, the diet food for dogs of the present invention contains charcoal powder dispersed in a baked potato-like food obtained by baking wheat gluten and wheat flour as main components. It is characterized by that.
“Dispersed” means that the charcoal powder is not locally gathered in the food, but is present throughout the food, but the charcoal powder is present throughout the food, and the This includes cases where they are concentrated on the outer surface.

  When this dietary food is given to a pet such as a dog, for example, it takes time to eat a grilled salmon and provides a feeling of fullness by adding this food to the usual diet (normal diet). Therefore, it is possible to reduce the amount of a normal diet with high calories. In addition, it is expected that a feeling of fullness can be obtained because the grilled salmon absorbs fat and water and expands in the stomach.

In particular, the baked sweet potato is lighter than the bait (ordinary food) that is usually given. Therefore, as shown in FIG. Therefore, since the pet starts to eat from the main food 1 located on the normal food 20, there is less possibility that the main food 1 is left uneaten.
In general, since dogs are bad food, there is a high probability of complete eating even if charcoal is mixed in the food.
Further, as shown in FIG. 5B, since the food 1 enters the stomach 3 first, the lipid of the normal food 20 is easily adsorbed around the food 1. Therefore, it can be expected that the neutral fat is less likely to accumulate in the body by excretion of the food 1 to which the lipid has been adsorbed.

  Moreover, since the baked potato is a low calorie food containing a lot of wheat gluten made of protein, a diet effect can be expected.

  Here, since gluten is a vegetable protein with a low molecular weight, it is unlikely to cause food allergies. Baked salmon is easy to digest and can be given to old dogs and dogs. In addition, baked salmon is a high protein food, so you can expect your pet's head to improve.

  As the charcoal used in the present food, black charcoal that easily adsorbs lipid is preferable, but white charcoal may be used. The raw material for the charcoal may be house scrap, miscellaneous trees, dead grass, and the like.

  The powder of charcoal contained in the food may be, for example, a powder having an average particle size of about 0.01 mm to 0.05 mm. When the same weight of charcoal is used, powdered charcoal has a larger surface area than the granular charcoal, and therefore powdered charcoal can be expected to have higher oil absorption.

Here, “wheat gluten” in the present invention refers to a dough (wet gluten) that has been hardened by adding a small amount of salt water to wheat flour and aging for a predetermined time, and then kneading in a large amount of water to bring starch into the water. It is the one that has been dispersed and removed from the dough.
The “baked rice cake” is a food obtained by baking the wheat gluten and wheat as main components.
In addition, you may add foaming agents, such as sodium hydrogencarbonate (baking powder), for example before the said baking.

It is a graph which shows the structure of the foodstuff concerning Test Examples 1-5 of this invention, and a comparative example. It is a graph which shows the change of the body weight of the subject at the time of giving the foodstuff of a comparative example and a test example as normal food. It is a graph which shows a test result at the time of giving a test example as a snack to a subject. 4A and 4B are schematic perspective views showing a food for diet, and FIG. 4C is a schematic cross-sectional view showing a method for producing a dough for making the food for diet. FIG. 5A is a schematic cross-sectional view showing a state in which diet food is sprinkled on dog food (normal food), and FIG. 5B is a schematic cross-sectional view showing a normal food in the dog's stomach and the state of the food.

  The method for producing a food for diet according to the present invention includes a step of producing a wheat gluten dough containing the charcoal powder dispersed therein, and a step of adding wheat flour and water to the wheat gluten dough to produce ginger. And baking the ginger to obtain the baked potato-like diet food.

According to this production method, wheat gluten has caking strength, and charcoal powder is kneaded into the wheat gluten, so that the added charcoal powder is less likely to fall off from the shochu. That is, the components of wheat flour fall off from the baked rice cake as if they were blown, but the charcoal powder is kneaded into wheat gluten, so it is difficult to fall off. For this reason, even if the food is picked with a finger, there is less risk of the finger being soiled with charcoal, so it is suitable for use in oysters and the like.
In other words, giving dogs as a reward when making a dog's profit, etc., because dogs are given to dogs every time the dog obeys the master's command, dogs are often given to dogs. If it becomes dirty with charcoal, clothes and the room become dirty with charcoal. In the present food, the degree of dirt on the fingers is significantly reduced.

In the manufacturing method, a step of generating charcoal powder water in which charcoal powder is dispersed in salt water to which an extract of animal protein is added, and the charcoal powder water is added to wheat flour and kneaded to produce a first dough. And a step of aging the first dough, and a step of dissolving the starch from the first dough in water to produce the wheat gluten dough after the aging.
In this case, since the animal protein extract is adsorbed on the charcoal powder, it is expected that the scent of the extract will stimulate the appetite of the pet and reduce the risk of eating only the normal food and leaving the food for this diet. .
In addition, as animal protein extracts, for example, extracts such as chicken, beef and pork can be used.

  It is preferable that the food for diet obtained by the said manufacturing method is formed in a column shape or a cube shape, and a particle size is 6 mm-15 mm.

  According to this aspect, since the particle size of the food is 6 mm to 15 mm, since the food has a small particle size, it is necessary to chew the food even if it is a small dog, an old dog, etc. You can eat it easily. In addition, it becomes difficult for the said charcoal powder to fall out by forming the said foodstuff into a granular form before baking so that it may become the said particle size.

Moreover, it becomes easy to bite and crush a small dog and an old dog by forming in a column shape or a cube shape.
In particular, by forming the food in a cubic shape, the surface area becomes larger than a spherical or cylindrical shape having the same particle size. Therefore, even if a large dog or the like swallows this food without chewing it, it can be expected that fat contained in the normal food is easily adsorbed by charcoal.

In the present invention, the food preferably has a bulk weight of 0.05 g / cm ^{3 to} 0.30 g / cm ³ .
According to this aspect, by setting the bulk weight of the food to be smaller than the bulk weight of the normal food, the food can easily be positioned on the normal food as shown in FIG. 5A. Therefore, since the dog eats this food before the normal meal, the dog enters the stomach 3 before the normal meal 20 as shown in FIG. 5B. Therefore, the fat content of the normal food 20 is easily adsorbed to the charcoal contained in the food 1.

  In the present invention, the food preferably contains a chicken extract as the animal protein extract.

In this invention, it is preferable that the vegetable fiber is further included.
Here, if the ratio of charcoal in the food is increased, constipation may occur. Therefore, it can be expected that constipation is prevented by including vegetable fibers.

The charcoal of the present invention is preferably charcoal.
The charcoal is preferably black charcoal that is soft, has many gaps, and has a large fat adsorption power.

In the present invention, the charcoal is preferably formed by carbonizing a cedar tree.
Cedar trees are relatively soft as Japanese timber and tend to be powdered when manufactured as charcoal.

In the present invention, the baked potato-like food has a thin skin fired on its outer surface, and this thin skin covers almost the entire outer surface of the diet food, and the thin skin is dispersed in the diet food. A charcoal powder different from the charcoal powder may be applied.
In order to prepare the food of this embodiment, for example, charcoal powder may be applied to the second dough kneaded by adding flour and a small amount of water to the first dough and baked. According to this aspect, the content of charcoal in the food can be significantly increased.

In order to clarify the effects of the present invention, first, Test Examples 1 to 5 and Comparative Examples were prepared.
In each test example and comparative example described below, strong flour was used as wheat flour.

Test example 1:
As shown to FIG. 4C, the charcoal powder water 10 which made the charcoal powder disperse | distribute to the salt water which added the chicken extract is created, the said charcoal powder water 10 is added to wheat flour 11 (2000g), and the flour 11 becomes a lump. The first dough was made by thoroughly kneading.

  The charcoal powdered water 10 was prepared by dissolving 250 g of salt in 1300 cc of water and dispersing 200 g of black charcoal powder and 10 g of chicken extract in the salt water. The particle size of the carbon powder used was a powder having an average particle size of about 0.01 mm to 0.05 mm. The charcoal powder used was charcoal made from cedar.

Thereafter, the first dough was sealed with a polyethylene bag so as not to be dried, and allowed to stand for 2 hours at room temperature for aging to strengthen the connection between gluten.
After the aging, the first dough was sown in a large amount of water, and starch was dissolved in the water to prepare a wheat gluten dough. Wheat gluten mixed with the charcoal powder was prepared from 2,000 g to 252 g of strong flour.

  Thereafter, 1500 g of flour (strong flour) was added to the wheat gluten dough, and then kneaded into a glossy soft dumpling shape while adding a small amount of water to prepare a ginger (second dough).

After forming the ginger into a large number of square shapes, spray the appropriate amount of water on the ginger formed in the square shape with a spray, and baked by exposing it to an atmosphere of about 180 ° C. for 20 minutes. The food for diet shown in FIG. 4A 1 was obtained.
The bulk weight of the food of Test Example 1 prepared as described above was 0.12 g / cm ³ .

Test example 2:
The said salt water was added to the flour 11 (2000g), and it knead | cured enough so that the flour 11 might be set, and the 1st dough was created. As the salt water, one obtained by dissolving 50 g of salt in 1000 cc of water was used.

Thereafter, the first dough was sealed with a polyethylene bag so as not to be dried, and aged for 2 hours at room temperature in order to strengthen the gluten connection.
After the aging, the first dough was sown in a large amount of water, and starch was dissolved in the water to prepare a wheat gluten dough. The wheat gluten dough was prepared from 2000 to 240 g of strong flour.

  After that, add 1500g of flour (strong flour), 85g of black charcoal powder made from cedar and 5cc of chicken extract to the wheat gluten dough, knead up into a glossy soft dumpling shape while adding a small amount of water. A ginger (second dough) was made.

After the ginger was formed into a number of square shapes in the same manner as in Test Example 1, an appropriate amount of water was sprayed onto the ginger formed into the square shape by spraying and exposed to an atmosphere of about 180 ° C. for 20 minutes. Baking was performed to obtain the food of Test Example 2.
The bulk weight of the food of Test Example 2 prepared as described above was 0.14 g / cm ³ .

Test Example 3:
A first dough was prepared and aged in the same manner as in Test Example 2, and then wheat gluten was prepared. Thereafter, 1500 g of wheat flour (strong flour), 170 g of black charcoal powder made from cedar and 5 cc of chicken extract are added to the wheat gluten, and then added to a ginger and soft dumpling with a small amount of water. A second dough) was prepared.

After the ginger was formed into a number of square shapes in the same manner as in Test Example 1, an appropriate amount of water was sprayed onto the ginger formed into the square shape by spraying and exposed to an atmosphere of about 180 ° C. for 20 minutes. By baking, the food of Test Example 3 was obtained.
The bulk weight of the food of Test Example 3 prepared as described above was 0.19 g / cm ³ .

Test Example 4:
After the ginger of Test Example 3 was coated with 10 g of black charcoal powder made from cedar, the ginger was molded into a number of square shapes in the same manner as in Test Example 1, and then sprayed onto the ginger molded into the square Then, an appropriate amount of water was sprayed and exposed to an atmosphere of about 180 ° C. for 20 minutes for baking to obtain the food of Test Example 4. As shown in FIG. 4B, the food of Test Example 4 produced a charcoal skin 1c baked on the outer surface.
The bulk weight of the food of Test Example 4 prepared as described above was 0.20 g / cm ³ .

Test Example 5:
After coating the ginger of Test Example 3 with 20 g of Bincho charcoal powder, the ginger was formed into a number of square shapes in the same manner as in Test Example 1, and then an appropriate amount of water was sprayed onto the ginger formed into the square shape. Was sprayed and exposed to an atmosphere of about 180 ° C. for 20 minutes and baked to obtain the food of Test Example 4. The food of Test Example 4 obtained in this way produced a thin skin of Binchotan charcoal fired on the outer surface.
The bulk weight of the food of Test Example 5 prepared as described above was 0.21 g / cm ³ .

Comparative example:
As a comparative example, a general shochu that produced the first dough only with salt water containing no charcoal powder was prepared. The bulk weight of the comparative food prepared as described above was 0.10 g / cm ³ .

  In addition, the foodstuff of the said Test Examples 1-5 and the comparative example was created so that the particle size might be 6 mm-15 mm, and an average particle size might be 7 m-12 mm.

Subject weight change when added to a normal diet:
Next, as shown in FIG. 2, the test examples 1 to 5 and the comparative example were added to a normal food as a subject.

Subject;
The subject 1 has a food allergy other than dog breed Wire Fox Terrier, 7 years old, male, castrated, and flour. Dogs that have been castrated generally tend to be fat.
The subject 2 is dog breed Papillon, dog age 6 years, female, castrated, and without food allergy.
The subject 3 is a dog Shiba inu, 7 years old, female, not castrated, and has no food allergies.
The subject 4 is a dog-type miniature schnauzer, 6-year-old dog, female, not castrated, and has no food allergies.

  The body weight before the test was 10.6 kg for the subject 1, 4.8 kg for the subject 2, 14.8 kg for the subject 3, and 6.7 kg for the subject 4.

  Next, Comparative Examples and Test Examples 1 to 5 were given to the subjects 1 to 4, respectively. For each subject, the amount of normal food was slightly reduced, and about 3 to 6 g of the food of Comparative Example or Test Examples 1 to 5 was given.

When a comparative example is added;
First, the food of the comparative example was added so as to sprinkle on the food (ordinary food) that is usually given to each specimen, and each specimen 1 to 4 was given for 7 days. None of the subjects left any food.
When the weights of the subjects 1 to 4 were measured 7 days after the comparison example was added to the normal diet, the weights of the subjects 1 to 4 were hardly changed. Note that no allergic reaction occurred in the subject 1 having food allergy.

When Test Example 1 is added;
Next, the foodstuff of Test Example 1 was added to a normal meal so as to be sprinkled, and this was given to subjects 1 to 3 for 7 days. There was no leftover in each subject 1-3.
Seven days after the test example 1 was added to a normal meal, the weights of the subjects 1 to 3 were measured. The weight of the subject was 10.3 kg for the subject 1, 4.7 kg for the subject 2, and 14.8 kg for the subject 3.
In each of the subjects 1 to 3, a slight decrease in body weight was observed.
In addition, food allergic reaction did not occur in non-specimen 1.

When Test Example 2 is added;
Next, the food of Test Example 2 was added to the normal food so as to be sprinkled, and this was given to the subjects 2 to 4 for 7 days. There were no leftovers in subjects 2-4. In addition, since the subject 1 bite well and wanted it, Test Example 2 was omitted and Test Example 3 described below was carried out.
Seven days after the test example 2 was added to a normal meal, the weights of the subjects 2 to 4 were measured. The body weight of the subject was 4.3 kg for the subject 2, 14.5 kg for the subject 3, and 6.5 kg for the subject 4.
The weight of each subject 1-4 decreased compared to the weight before the test.

When Test Example 3 is added;
Next, the food of Test Example 3 was added to a normal meal so as to be sprinkled and given to the subject 1 for 7 days. Subject 1 had no leftovers.
Seven days after the test example 3 was added to a normal meal, the weight of the subject 1 was measured. The weight of the subject 1 was 9.5 kg.
The weight of subject 1 was significantly reduced compared to the weight before the test.
Further, no food allergic reaction occurred in non-sample 1.

  When subjects 2 and 3 were added to the normal food so as to sprinkle the food of Test Examples 3 and 4, the food was left over, so the test was stopped. In addition, since the subject 4 bite well and wanted further, the test example 3 was omitted, and the test was performed using the food of the test example 4 described below.

When Test Example 4 is added;
Next, the food of Test Example 4 was added to the normal food so as to be sprinkled and given to the subject 4. Subject 4 had no leftovers.
Seven days after the test example 4 was added to a normal meal, the weight of the subject 4 was measured. The weight of the subject 1 was 6.4 kg.
The weight of subject 1 was significantly reduced compared to the weight before the test.

When Test Example 5 is added;
Next, the food of Test Example 5 was added to the normal food so as to be sprinkled and given to the subject 4. Subject 4 had no leftovers.
Seven days after the test example 5 was added to a normal meal, the weight of the subject 4 was measured. The weight of subject 1 was 6.3 kg.
The weight of the subject 1 decreased compared to the weight before the test.
In addition, although the tooth | gear of the subject 4 given the said test example 4 and the test example 5 became a little black, the effect by which charcoal is scraped off by charcoal can be expected.

  From the above test results, it was found that the foods of Test Examples 1 to 5 had a diet effect. And it turned out that the diet effect improves by increasing the weight of charcoal powder with respect to the weight of wheat gluten and flour.

In particular, it was found that the foods of Test Examples 1 and 2 can obtain a diet effect without leaving uneaten even for small dogs such as papillons and dogs with thin foods.
From this, it is considered that by adjusting the ratio of charcoal powder dispersed and contained in the food for shochu, diet foods that can be expected to have a diet effect in all dog breeds can be obtained.
Considering that the test period is one week unit, it can be estimated that the diet effect appears remarkably if the food of Test Example 1 is given this food for a long time.

When given as a oyster:
Test Example 1;
When Test Example 1 was picked with a finger and given as a oyster, the finger of the person who gave Test Example 1 (owner) was hardly stained with charcoal. This is considered to be because the charcoal powder was fixed in the food of Test Example 1 by fixing the charcoal powder by the gluten connection.
On the other hand, the subjects 1 to 4 were good bites of the food of Test Example 1 as oysters.

Test example 2:
When Test Example 2 was picked with a finger and given as an oyster, some charcoal dirt adhered to the owner's finger given Test Example 2. This is thought to be due to the fact that the charcoal powder falls off slightly from the outside of the food of Test Example 2.
On the other hand, the subjects 1 to 4 were good at eating the food of Test Example 2 as oysters.

Test Example 3:
When Test Example 3 was picked with a finger and given as an oyster, charcoal dirt adhered to the owner's finger given Test Example 3. This is thought to be due to the charcoal powder falling off from the food of Test Example 3.
On the other hand, the subjects 1, 3 and 4 except the subject 2 completed the food of Test Example 3 as oysters.

Test Example 4:
When Test Example 4 was picked with a finger and given as an oyster, a lot of charcoal dirt adhered to the owner's finger given Test Example 4. In this example, charcoal adhering around the food of Test Example 3 is attached to the finger.
On the other hand, the subjects 1 and 4 excluding the subjects 2 and 3 completed the food of Test Example 4 as oysters.

Test Example 5:
When Test Example 5 was picked with a finger and given as an oyster, a large amount of charcoal dirt adhered to the owner's finger given Test Example 4. In this example, charcoal adhering around the food of Test Example 5 is attached to the finger.
On the other hand, the subjects 1 and 4 excluding the subjects 2 and 3 completed the food of Test Example 4 as oysters.

  Therefore, the foods of Test Example 1 and Test Example 2 do not adhere to the finger with the charcoal powder, and all the subjects eat the food.

As described above, the preferred embodiments have been described with reference to the drawings. However, those skilled in the art will readily understand various changes and modifications within the obvious scope by looking at the present specification.
For example, the diet foods described above may be used for dogs other than the above breeds.
Moreover, in order to improve biting, chocolate etc. may be apply | coated to the outer surface of the foodstuff of Test Examples 1-3, or a seasoning may be kneaded and mixed with the material before baking.

  The food of the present invention can be used for dog diet.
