Description

  The present invention relates to a zinc-containing pasta and a method for producing the same.

  In recent years, there has been an increasing demand for foods that maintain health such as prevention of lifestyle-related diseases, improvement of obesity, stress relief, and mental stability. In addition, it is said that there are an increasing number of so-called Kirel adults and children who become aggressive and unable to tolerate taste disorders due to large consumption of snacks and juices. These symptoms are said to be due to zinc deficiency, but zinc is said to be a mineral that makes it difficult to get the necessary amount from the diet.

  Pasta is a popular ingredient and is a favorite ingredient for both adults and children. It is known that pasta, especially whole-grain pasta, has a lower glycemic index value (GI value) than other cereals and noodles. Glycemic index value (GI value) is a numerical value that relatively expresses the rate at which carbohydrates are digested and changed to sugar. In 1981, Dr. David J. Jenkins et al. Was discovered and proposed (Non-Patent Document 1). Specifically, the area under the blood glucose increase curve after ingesting 50 grams of carbohydrate of food is expressed as the ratio of the same amount of carbohydrate to the area under the average blood glucose increase curve after ingesting the standard diet or glucose (glucose). Is done.

  The lower the glycemic index value (GI value), the slower the absorption and the lower the blood sugar rise, so that insulin secretion is suppressed, and excess body carbohydrates are not stored as body fat, reducing body fat and controlling body weight. is there. Moreover, since digestion time is long, it is hard to become hungry and can suppress excessive intake.

  Zinc is effective for arteriosclerosis, taste disorder, decreased male function, menopause, menstrual disorders, infertility, diabetes, decreased vision, decreased immunity, metabolic syndrome, mental anxiety, insomnia, children's Kirel syndrome, etc. The required daily intake of zinc is 9-12 mg for adult men, 7-10 mg for women, 4-6 mg for children boys, and 3-5 mg for children girls.

  As foods containing zinc, oysters, beef, pork, chicken, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, pine nuts and sunflower seeds are known. Patent Document 1 describes that an increase in blood glucose level is suppressed by feeding mice with zinc-containing yeast and zinc-containing papaya. Patent Document 2 describes the flavorful sunflower powder-containing noodles. Black sesame udon is described in Patent Document 3. Patent Document 4 describes oyster-containing pasta (containing oyster paste and durum / semolina powder) whose odor has been eliminated with white wine.

  Citrus albedo is a white, soft cotton-like or fibrous portion inside the pericarp, and is rich in water-soluble dietary fibers such as pectin, flavonoids such as naringin and hesperidin. Patent Document 5 describes a hypoglycemic agent or a bowel movement improving agent containing citrus albedo as an active ingredient.

  However, foods that are favored by a wide age group and that enable zinc intake easily and continuously have not yet been provided.

  A preferred embodiment of the present invention uses one or more selected from wheat germ, pumpkin seeds, pine nuts and sunflower seeds as the zinc-rich food. Preferably, it is a mixture of 2 or more, more preferably 3 or more, and still more preferably 4 or more. The preferred blending ratio (weight ratio) of wheat germ, pumpkin seed, pine nut and sunflower seed powder is 2: 1: 1: 1. It is also possible to mix five or more.

  The zinc-rich food used in the present invention is preferably used as a powder. Non-powdered zinc-rich foods are pulverized by pulverizing dried or fried foods using a mill, mortar, mixer or the like. If a milling machine or the like is used, it can be prepared by numerically setting the degree of powderization (particle diameter). Each powder may be mixed after the raw materials are pulverized in advance, but of course, the dried raw materials may be mixed in advance and pulverized and powdered as described above.

  The compounding ratio of the flour and the zinc-rich food is 10 to 60 parts by weight, preferably 20 to 50 parts by weight, more preferably 25 to 45 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the flour. Preferably, 10 to 60 parts by weight, preferably 20 to 50 parts by weight, more preferably 25 to 45 parts by weight of the high zinc content food is added to 100 parts by weight of the whole wheat flour. When the blending ratio of the high zinc content food is lower than 10 parts by weight, the effect of the present invention cannot be obtained.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, 1.5 to 6 mg of zinc is contained in 100 g of edible pasta by blending a food containing high zinc content as described above. When the zinc content is less than 1.5 mg, the effect of the present invention is small. Because the zinc content is up to 6 mg, even children can eat the pasta of the present invention with peace of mind. It is said that the daily intake of zinc is 30 to 35 mg, and if it exceeds 6 mg, together with the intake of zinc from other foods, it exceeds the upper limit of the child's daily intake, causing dizziness, nausea and stomach There is a risk of toxic symptoms such as disability. More preferably, 100 g of edible pasta contains 1.8 to 5 mg of zinc, and more preferably 2 to 4 mg. The required daily intake of zinc is 9-12 mg for adult men, 7-10 mg for women, 4-6 mg for children boys, and 3-5 mg for children girls, and therefore eats 100 g of pasta of the present invention (edible state). Therefore, it is possible to take about 1/6 to the entire daily intake requirement.
The weight of edible pasta is the weight after boiling dry pasta or fresh pasta, or, when instant pasta, is the weight of pasta before eating, such as after passing a hot water bath or after passing through hot water.

The whole wheat flour used in the present invention is a flour made by grinding with germ or bran (skin) attached, and it is dark brown and has more vitamins, minerals and fiber than flour with only endosperm. It contains a lot.
The pasta of the present invention using whole wheat flour preferably has a glycemic index value (GI value) based on glucose of 55 or less, more preferably 50 or less, and 45 or less. Even more preferable. This is because the absorption of sugar into the blood by ingesting pasta is preferably adjusted as much as possible.

  Moreover, the wheat flour for pasta preparation of the present invention may contain the remaining amount of wheat flour in which the whole grain is 60% by weight to 100% and the so-called germ is removed. It can be blended according to the desired hardness of the pasta. The whole grain is preferably 100% because the whole grain is best from a pharmaceutical standpoint. Moreover, the kind of wheat flour used in the present invention is not limited, but it is preferably durum wheat whole grain powder, particularly durum semolina flour.

  In the present invention, strong powder (gluten content: 10.5 to 13%) may be contained as desired. If desired, it is allowed to contain medium flour or thin flour.

  The pasta of the present invention is prepared by blending citrus albedo and / or fruit. The kind of citrus fruits used in the present invention is not particularly limited. For example, mandarin oranges such as Wenzhou mandarin, Ponkan, Sikhwasa, Sudachi, oranges such as Navel and Valencia, summer mandarin oranges, citrus fruits such as Hachiman, Iyokan and Daidai, and other buntan, grapefruit, lemon, yuzu, kumquats, etc. is there. Citrus fruits such as yam, grapefruit, mandarin orange, and daidai, which are rich in albedo, are suitable, and in the present invention, it is particularly preferable to use yam, which is rich in albedo containing a large amount of flavonoids such as naringin. .

  To blend a citrus albedo and / or fruit is to blend one or a combination selected from fruits, albedo. You may mix | blend other parts, such as citrus peel.

  A preferred embodiment of the present invention incorporates citrus fruits. Citrus fruits have a shape in which about 10 sachets are arranged in a radial pattern. The sachet is called “jojo”, the thin skin of the sachet is called “jojo membrane”, and the contents of the sachet (so-called pulp) are called “sand”. . In the present invention, the fruit contains these. When blended in the pasta of the present invention, it is preferable to use the fruit by pulverizing and / or squeezing it into fruit juice. The fruits may be obtained from the same citrus fruits as the albedo, but may be obtained from different citrus fruits. Fruit contains a lot of vitamin C and folic acid, and by blending vitamin C with folic acid, absorption of zinc can be promoted and the effect of zinc can be enhanced synergistically. As the fruit, Yawata fruit is particularly preferable.

  In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, 10 to 50 parts by weight, preferably 20 to 40 parts by weight of citrus fruits are blended with 100 parts by weight of the flour for preparing pasta (preferably whole wheat flour) of the present invention. When the amount of the fruit is less than 10 parts by weight, the effect of the pasta of the present invention is low, and when it is more than 50 parts by weight, it becomes difficult to mold the pasta.

A preferred embodiment of the present invention incorporates a citrus albedo. Citrus albedo is a white, soft cotton-like or fibrous portion inside the pericarp, and is rich in water-soluble dietary fibers such as pectin, flavonoids such as naringin and hesperidin. Numerous studies have been conducted on the action of flavonoids such as naringin and hesperidin. Antioxidant, antiallergic, cholesterol suppression, prevention of hypertension, suppression of appetite, protection and strengthening of capillaries, stability of vitamin C Effects such as conversion are known.
By blending albedo with the pasta of the present invention, the effect of nutrients contained in the albedo and the effect of promoting zinc absorption can be obtained.
The albedo is not particularly limited as long as it is a citrus albedo, but since the albedo has a bitter taste, an albedo having a less bitter taste when blended with pasta is preferable. Yawata albedo is suitable when kneaded into pasta because it has no bitterness and is easy to eat.

  The albedo can be used by crushing and pulverizing it with a mixer or the like. You may process and use to the extent which does not destroy the nutrient which albedo contains. For example, what dried albedo was made into the powder form, what was obtained by steam distillation or solvent extraction, what was decocted, etc. are mentioned.

  In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, 5 to 40 parts by weight, preferably 10 to 30 parts by weight, more preferably 15 to 25 parts by weight of albedo per 100 parts by weight of flour for preparing pasta (preferably whole wheat flour) of the present invention. Mix parts by weight. If the albedo is less than 5 parts by weight, the effect of the present invention is small even if the pasta of the present invention is eaten, and if it is more than 40 parts by weight, the texture of the pasta is affected, making it difficult to eat and making the pasta difficult.

  In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the albedo and the fruit are blended together. By blending together, the components contained in each part can be eaten, and there is a further zinc absorption effect. When the albedo and the fruit are used together, for example, the whole fruit from which the outer skin has been removed can be crushed or used, or the albedo portion can be scraped off with the fruit meat using a fruit squeezer or the like. Further, when the outer skin is further blended, the whole fruit can be crushed and pulverized as it is.

  The pasta of the present invention contains whole wheat flour, a food containing a high amount of zinc, and a citrus albedo and / or fruit. Of course, pasta containing other foods and ingredients is also a pasta of the present invention.

  In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, 10 to 60 parts by weight, preferably 20 to 50 parts by weight, more preferably 25 to 45 parts by weight of a high zinc content food is blended with 100 parts by weight of wheat flour, and 10 to 50 parts by weight of citrus fruits are mixed. Pasta prepared by blending 50 parts by weight, preferably 20 to 40 parts by weight, and / or 5 to 40 parts by weight, preferably 10 to 30 parts by weight, more preferably 15 to 25 parts by weight citrus albedo is there.

The present invention also relates to a method for producing pasta, characterized by kneading a powdery high zinc content food and a citrus albedo and / or fruit with whole wheat flour.
The zinc-containing pasta of the present invention is produced by kneading a powdery high-zinc food product and citrus albedo and / or fruit with whole wheat flour and then forming the desired pasta shape.
Preferably, citrus fruit juice is mixed with powder obtained by pulverizing a food containing high zinc content, and citrus albedo is further added and mixed. It is kneaded with whole wheat flour, then aged and shaped to produce the desired pasta shape. Wheat whole grains may be premixed with foods containing high zinc content such as wheat germ.
Then, it can be processed according to a desired sales form such as dry pasta, fresh pasta, frozen pasta, and instant pasta.

  The pasta of the present invention is not limited to long pasta such as spaghetti and linguine, short pasta such as macaroni and penne, and other types such as plate, dumpling and cylindrical pasta. Moreover, types, such as raw pasta, dry pasta, frozen pasta, and instant pasta, are not limited but include all aspects.
