Description

本発明は、医薬品、医薬部外品及び食品等の分野における液剤組成物に関する。   The present invention relates to a liquid composition in the fields of pharmaceuticals, quasi drugs and foods.

茶は、主に植物の葉、茎、種実等の組織から水や湯で抽出した成分を含む飲食品の総称である。その代表例は、ツバキ科に属し中国南部に起源を持つ、Camellia sinensisという植物の新芽を原材料とした緑茶である。   Tea is a general term for foods and drinks that contain components extracted from tissues such as plant leaves, stems, and seeds with water or hot water. A typical example is green tea made from plant sprout, Camellia sinensis, which belongs to the Camellia family and originates in southern China.

茶は独特のえぐみ、渋み、こく等のいわゆる苦味を有しているが為に嗜好性に優れる飲料としても重宝されている。また栽培しやすい植物であることもあって次第にその生産地が広がり、現在では日本、インド、スリランカ等でも栽培されている。   Tea has a so-called bitter taste such as peculiar taste, astringency, and body, so it is also useful as a beverage with excellent palatability. In addition, it is an easy-to-cultivate plant and its production area has gradually expanded, and is now cultivated in Japan, India, Sri Lanka, and the like.

種々の茶の効能に関する科学的研究が盛んに行われた結果、茶の効用の多くがカテキンによるものであることが明らかにされてきた。これらの研究は同時に、茶の苦味もカテキンが呈するものであることを明らかにした。前述の通り、茶の苦味は嗜好性を決定する要因の一つであるが、同時に茶の服用が避けられる原因ともなっている。   As a result of extensive scientific research on the effects of various teas, it has been clarified that most of the tea effects are due to catechins. At the same time, these studies revealed that the tea bitterness is also exhibited by catechin. As described above, the bitterness of tea is one of the factors that determine palatability, but at the same time, it is also a cause that avoids taking tea.

より簡便に大量のカテキンを摂取するために、飲料にカテキンを高濃度に配合する技術が開発されてきている(特許文献1、2)が、市販の緑茶抽出物の濃縮物をそのまま用いると緑茶抽出物の濃縮物に含まれる成分の影響によって苦味が強くなり、また喉越しも悪く、カテキンによる有益な生理効果を発現させる上で必要となる長期間の飲用には不適であった。この問題に対して、カテキンの風味を改善する手段として甘味閾値以下の高甘味度甘味剤を配合すること(特許文献3)、ステビアとアスパルテームを併用すること(特許文献4)、スクラロースを配合すること(特許文献5)も提案されている。また、ペクチンを配合することにより苦味の低減に加えて沈殿の抑制も可能となることが提案されている(特許文献6)。   In order to ingest a large amount of catechin more easily, techniques for blending catechin with a high concentration in beverages have been developed (Patent Documents 1 and 2). However, if a concentrate of a commercially available green tea extract is used as it is, green tea is used. The bitterness became strong by the influence of the component contained in the concentrate of the extract, and the throat was not good, so that it was unsuitable for long-term drinking required to express the beneficial physiological effects of catechin. In response to this problem, as a means of improving the flavor of catechin, blending a high-intensity sweetener below the sweetness threshold (Patent Document 3), combining stevia and aspartame (Patent Document 4), blending sucralose (Patent Document 5) has also been proposed. In addition, it has been proposed that the addition of pectin makes it possible to suppress precipitation in addition to reducing bitterness (Patent Document 6).

しかし、いずれもカテキン由来の苦味の低減効果が弱いという問題があった。   However, all have the problem that the effect of reducing catechin-derived bitterness is weak.

本発明の目的は、苦味を有するカテキンを日常的に無理なく、多量に摂取することができ、さらに保管後も沈殿の生じないカテキン配合液剤組成物を提供することである。   An object of the present invention is to provide a catechin-containing liquid preparation composition that can be taken in a large amount of catechin having a bitter taste on a daily basis, and that does not cause precipitation even after storage.

本発明者は、上記課題を解決するために鋭意検討した結果、カテキン配合液剤組成物にヒスチジン若しくはコハク酸又はそれらの塩を配合することによりカテキンが溶解した際に生じる苦味が顕著に抑制されることを見出した。さらに上記液剤組成物にペクチン又はアラビアガムを配合することにより、低温保管後の沈殿も生じない液剤組成物が得られることを見いだし、本発明を完成した。   As a result of intensive studies to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present inventor remarkably suppresses the bitter taste produced when catechin is dissolved by adding histidine, succinic acid, or a salt thereof to the catechin-containing liquid composition. I found out. Furthermore, the present inventors have found that by adding pectin or gum arabic to the liquid composition, a liquid composition that does not cause precipitation after low-temperature storage can be obtained, thereby completing the present invention.

As such catechin, an extract extracted from a plant tissue such as tea leaves with hot water or a water-soluble organic solvent, or a concentrated form thereof in a solid, aqueous solution or slurry form may be used. The extract may be further purified. Chemically synthesized catechins are also available. In the tea extract, catechin is present as a non-polymer, and catechin in the present invention includes this non-polymer.

カテキンを得るための茶としては、Camellia属(例えばC.sinensis及びC.assamica)の樹木の茶葉から製茶された不発酵茶(緑茶等)、半発酵茶(烏龍茶等)、発酵茶(紅茶等)を挙げることができる。これらの茶葉に対して、例えば40〜140℃、0.1分〜120時間加熱処理して、抽出物を得ることができる。   As tea for obtaining catechin, non-fermented tea (green tea, etc.), semi-fermented tea (eg, oolong tea, etc.), fermented tea (black tea, etc.) made from tea leaves of Camellia genus (for example, C. sinensis and C. assamica). ). For example, the tea leaves can be heat-treated at 40 to 140 ° C. for 0.1 minutes to 120 hours to obtain an extract.

また市販の商品名「ポリフェノン」(三井農林(株)製)、商品名「テアフラン」(伊藤園(株)製)、商品名「サンフェノン」(太陽化学(株)製)等の緑茶抽出物の濃縮物を利用しても良い.これらはカテキン含量が高いため、カテキンとして使用することができる。   Concentration of green tea extracts such as the commercially available product name “Polyphenone” (Mitsui Norin Co., Ltd.), the product name “Theafranc” (Itoen Co., Ltd.), and the product name “Sunphenon” (Taiyo Kagaku Co., Ltd.) You may use things. Since these have a high catechin content, they can be used as catechins.

なお、カテキンとしては、茶だけでなく果実や種子等の抽出物由来のカテキンや、果実や種子等をすり潰した果汁由来のカテキンも使用することができる。ここで使用する果実や種子等としては、バラ科、ツバキ科、ブドウ科、シソ科、アカネ科、アオギリ科、タデ科に属する植物の果実や種子等が好ましい。   As catechins, not only tea but also catechins derived from extracts such as fruits and seeds, and catechins derived from fruit juice obtained by grinding fruits and seeds can be used. The fruits and seeds used here are preferably the fruits and seeds of plants belonging to the family Rosaceae, Camellia, Grapeaceae, Lamiaceae, Rubiaceae, Aogiriaceae, Tadeidae.

ヒスチジンは、糖原性の必須アミノ酸で、アミノ酸輸液や経口・経腸栄養剤等、食品、医薬品の広い分野で使用されている。ヒスチジンは、好ましくはL−ヒスチジンである。本発明で用いるヒスチジンは、ヒスチジン塩酸塩等を使用しても同様の効果を得ることができる。   Histidine is an essential glycogenic amino acid and is used in a wide range of food and pharmaceutical fields such as amino acid infusion solutions and oral and enteral nutrients. The histidine is preferably L-histidine. The histidine used in the present invention can obtain the same effect even when histidine hydrochloride or the like is used.

コハク酸は、有機酸の一種で一般に市販されており、食品、医薬品等広い分野で使用されている。本発明で用いるコハク酸は、ナトリウム塩、カリウム塩等の塩を使用しても同様の効果を得ることができる。   Succinic acid is a kind of organic acid and is generally marketed, and is used in a wide range of fields such as food and medicine. The succinic acid used in the present invention can obtain the same effect even when a salt such as sodium salt or potassium salt is used.

ペクチンはα−1、4−結合したポリガラクツロン酸が主成分の水溶性多糖類であり、リンゴや柑橘類から抽出される。本発明で用いるペクチンは、リンゴ由来・柑橘類由来のどちらを用いても良いが,柑橘類由来がより好ましい。ペクチンの構成糖であるガラクツロン酸はフリーの酸およびメチルエステルとして存在する。メチルエステルの比率が高いペクチンをHMペクチン、低いペクチンをLMペクチンと呼ぶが、本発明ではどちらのペクチンも用いることができ、HMペクチンがより好ましい。   Pectin is a water-soluble polysaccharide mainly composed of α-1,4-linked polygalacturonic acid and is extracted from apples and citrus fruits. The pectin used in the present invention may be derived from either apple or citrus, but citrus is more preferable. Galacturonic acid, a constituent sugar of pectin, exists as free acid and methyl ester. Pectin having a high methyl ester ratio is called HM pectin and low pectin is called LM pectin. In the present invention, either pectin can be used, and HM pectin is more preferable.

アラビアガムはアラビノガラクタンが主成分の水溶性多糖類でAcacia senegalまたはアカシア属などのアフリカ由来のその他樹木の幹や枝に切り込みを入れることで得られるガム粘質抽出物を指す。これらの樹木は700種以上が知られているが、本発明で使用できるアラビアガムはいずれの樹木を由来としても良い。アラビノガラクタンはアラビノース、ラムノース、グルクロン酸、ガラクトースやタンパク質から構成され、球状構造であるために溶液は低粘度である。また、アラビノガラクタンは部分的に硫酸化された4-O-メチル-D-グルクロン酸を含有することからアラビアガムはアニオン性である。   Gum arabic is a water-soluble polysaccharide mainly composed of arabinogalactan and refers to a gum sticky extract obtained by cutting into trunks and branches of other trees from Africa such as Acacia senegal or Acacia. Although more than 700 kinds of these trees are known, gum arabic that can be used in the present invention may be derived from any tree. Arabinogalactan is composed of arabinose, rhamnose, glucuronic acid, galactose and protein, and has a low viscosity due to its spherical structure. Also, gum arabic is anionic because arabinogalactan contains partially sulfated 4-O-methyl-D-glucuronic acid.

比較例1に示すように、カテキンのみを含む液剤組成物では強い苦味が感じられた。さらにアラビアガム又はペクチンを加えた液剤組成物(比較例20〜21)では比較例1よりも苦味が抑制されたものの、その効果は十分ではなかった。一方、アラビアガム又はペクチンにさらにL−ヒスチジン塩酸塩(実施例1及び2)又はコハク酸(実施例3及び4)を加えた液剤組成物ではカテキンの苦味が顕著に改善された。カテキン1質量部に対してヒスチジン0.2質量部以上で(実施例11〜12)、カテキン1質量部に対してコハク酸0.1質量部以上で(実施例13〜15)苦味が顕著に抑制された。pH3.0〜4.5の範囲で苦味が顕著に抑制された(実施例1、16〜21)。比較例24〜26において添加したグリシン、アルギニン塩酸塩、又はクエン酸では十分な苦味抑制効果が認められなかった。
As shown in Comparative Example 1, a strong bitter taste was felt with the liquid composition containing only catechin. Furthermore, although the bitter taste was suppressed rather than the comparative example 1 in the liquid agent composition (Comparative Examples 20-21) which added the gum arabic or pectin, the effect was not enough. On the other hand, the bitter taste of catechin was remarkably improved in the liquid composition obtained by adding L-histidine hydrochloride (Examples 1 and 2) or succinic acid (Examples 3 and 4) to gum arabic or pectin. Bite taste is markedly greater than 0.2 parts by mass of histidine (Examples 11-12) with respect to 1 part by mass of catechin (Examples 11-12) and 0.1 parts by mass of succinic acid with respect to 1 part by mass of catechin (Examples 13-15). Suppressed. Bitterness was remarkably suppressed in the range of pH 3.0 to 4.5 (Examples 1, 16 to 21). In glycine, arginine hydrochloride, or citric acid added in Comparative Examples 24-26, a sufficient bitterness suppressing effect was not recognized.

本発明により、カテキンから生じる苦味、沈殿が改善された、極めて服用しやすい液剤組成物を提供することが可能となった。   According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a liquid composition that is improved in bitterness and precipitation resulting from catechin and that is extremely easy to take.
