Description

本発明は血管内皮機能改善剤に関し、より詳細には、米糠を圧搾して得られた粗米糠油を、アルカリ剤を用いた処理を行なわず、少なくとも水蒸気蒸留による精製処理を行なった精製米糠油からなる血管内皮機能改善剤に関する。   The present invention relates to a vascular endothelial function improving agent, and more specifically, purified rice bran oil obtained by subjecting crude rice bran oil obtained by squeezing rice bran to at least a purification process by steam distillation without performing a treatment using an alkaline agent. The vascular endothelial function improving agent which consists of.

血管内皮は、血液成分などの血管透過性、血管の収縮や弛緩反応、凝固線溶系に関与することによる血液凝固性の調節、血小板機能の制御などさまざま重要な機能を有している。これらの機能は、血管内皮細胞がさまざまな生理活性因子を産生、分泌することと深く関係している。特に、生理活性因子の一つである一酸化窒素は、前記の血管の収縮や弛緩反応、凝固線溶系に関与することによる血液凝固性の調節などと極めて深い関係にあり、血管組織の恒常性を維持する重要な因子である。一酸化窒素を血管内皮細胞が産生、分泌する際には、血管内皮型一酸化窒素産生酵素(以下、[e-NOS]と略することがある。)が重要な役割を果たしており、この酵素活性が抑制されると高血圧症、脂質異常症、上昇高脂血症、動脈硬化、血栓症、糖尿病、糖尿病合併症などの発生に影響を与えることがわかっている。加えて、e-NOSの活性は、高血圧症、脂質異常症、上昇高脂血症、動脈硬化、血栓症、糖尿病、糖尿病合併症などによって血管内皮細胞が障害を受けると低下し、更に疾病の進行を促進させることも知られている。これらは慢性的な疾患であり、その予防や治療には長期間を要する必要がある。従って、長期間にわたって安全かつ効果的に、e-NOSの活性低下を防止し、または活性を向上できる技術の開発が望まれている。   The vascular endothelium has various important functions such as vascular permeability of blood components, vasoconstriction and relaxation reactions, regulation of blood coagulation by participating in the coagulation and fibrinolytic system, and control of platelet function. These functions are closely related to the production and secretion of various physiologically active factors by vascular endothelial cells. In particular, nitric oxide, which is one of the physiologically active factors, has a very deep relationship with the above-mentioned blood vessel contraction and relaxation reactions, regulation of blood coagulation by participating in the coagulation and fibrinolysis system, etc., and vascular tissue homeostasis Is an important factor to maintain. When vascular endothelial cells produce and secrete nitric oxide, a vascular endothelial nitric oxide producing enzyme (hereinafter sometimes abbreviated as [e-NOS]) plays an important role. Inhibition of activity has been shown to affect the occurrence of hypertension, dyslipidemia, elevated hyperlipidemia, arteriosclerosis, thrombosis, diabetes, diabetic complications, and the like. In addition, the activity of e-NOS decreases when vascular endothelial cells are damaged by hypertension, dyslipidemia, elevated hyperlipidemia, arteriosclerosis, thrombosis, diabetes, diabetic complications, etc. It is also known to promote progression. These are chronic diseases, and the prevention and treatment thereof require a long time. Therefore, it is desired to develop a technique that can prevent or improve the activity of e-NOS safely and effectively over a long period of time.

この要望に対して、従来より種々の技術が提案されている。例えば、血管内皮成長因子や同因子のレセプターアゴニストを使用する方法(特許文献1)、ペプチドを使用する方法(特許文献2)、フェネチルニコチンアミド誘導体を使用する方法(特許文献3)、プテリン誘導体を使用する方法(特許文献4)、ポリシロキサン誘導体を使用する方法(特許文献5)、HMG-CoAリダクターゼ阻害剤とγ-オリザノールやグルタチオンを併用する方法(特許文献6,7)などが挙げられる。しかし、これらは何れも合成された化合物を活用する技術であり、それらの技術を実施する場合には医師や薬剤師などの専門家の指示や指導を受ける必要があったり、長期間使用する場合に副作用が発生する恐れがあったり、予防的に長期間使用することが出来なかったりするなどの課題点があり、より安全性が高く、手軽に長期間使用できる効果的な技術の開発が望まれていた。   In response to this demand, various techniques have been proposed. For example, a method using a vascular endothelial growth factor or a receptor agonist of the same factor (Patent Document 1), a method using a peptide (Patent Document 2), a method using a phenethylnicotinamide derivative (Patent Document 3), a pterin derivative Examples include a method of using (Patent Document 4), a method of using a polysiloxane derivative (Patent Document 5), and a method of using a HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor in combination with γ-oryzanol or glutathione (Patent Documents 6 and 7). However, these are technologies that utilize synthesized compounds, and it is necessary to receive instructions and guidance from specialists such as doctors and pharmacists when implementing these technologies, or when they are used for a long time. There are problems such as the possibility of side effects and the inability to use prophylactically for a long period of time, and the development of effective technology that is safer and can be used for a long period of time is desired. It was.

以下、本発明について、さらに詳細に説明する。   Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail.

本発明の血管内皮機能改善剤は、米糠を圧搾して得られる米糠油の精製処理において、アルカリ剤を用いる精製処理を行なわず、少なくとも水蒸気蒸留を用いた精製処理を行うことを特徴とするものである。以下に詳しく説明する。   The agent for improving vascular endothelial function of the present invention is characterized in that, in the purification process of rice bran oil obtained by pressing rice bran, a purification process using at least steam distillation is performed without performing a purification process using an alkaline agent. It is. This will be described in detail below.


圧搾搾油に供する米糠は、赤糠が好ましい。米糠は多量の油脂を含有するため、リパーゼによる油脂分解による品質の劣化が生じやすい。そのため、生成した米糠は、できるだけ早急に、加熱水蒸気法、超高温過熱法などの方法を用いて約100〜130℃まで米糠の温度を上昇させることによりリパーゼを失活させ、米糠の品質劣化を防止する処理を行なう。米糠の搾油は、通常、脱脂効率の良いヘキサンなどの有機溶媒を用いた抽出法が用いられるが、この有機溶媒を用いた抽出方法で得られた米糠油の場合、所期の効果が得られないため、米糠に圧力を負荷させることにより油分を削減する圧搾法による脱脂処理を行う。この圧搾処理には、特に限定するものではないが、スクリュー式搾油機(例:S100-400((株)サン精機社製)、一軸エキスペラー(例:搾油機V-05((株)スエヒロEPM社製)、低温連続圧搾機(例:ミラクルチャンバー((株)テクノシグマ社製)などの装置を用いることができる。(以下、圧搾法を用いて得られた米糠油を「圧搾米糠油」ということがある。)抽出法により得られる米糠油は、使用する有機溶媒に溶解性を有する非極性物質から構成されるが、圧搾米糠油は、米糠中に存在する圧搾処理条件下において液状となる物質から構成されるため、両者の組成は同一ではない。

The rice bran used for pressing oil is preferably red rice bran. Rice bran contains a large amount of fats and oils, so quality is liable to deteriorate due to the decomposition of fats and oils by lipase. Therefore, the produced rice bran deactivates the lipase as soon as possible by raising the temperature of the rice bran to about 100 to 130 ° C. using a method such as a heated steam method or an ultra-high temperature superheating method, thereby reducing the quality of the rice bran. Prevent the process. Extraction of rice bran oil is usually performed using an extraction method using an organic solvent such as hexane with good degreasing efficiency. In the case of rice bran oil obtained by this extraction method using an organic solvent, the desired effect is obtained. Therefore, degreasing is performed by a pressing method that reduces oil content by applying pressure to rice bran. Although not specifically limited to this pressing process, a screw type oil press (example: S100-400 (manufactured by Sun Seiki Co., Ltd.)), a single screw expeller (example: oil press V-05 (Suehiro EPM Co., Ltd.) ), Low temperature continuous pressing machine (example: Miracle Chamber (manufactured by Techno Sigma Co., Ltd.), etc.) (hereinafter referred to as “pressed rice bran oil”) The rice bran oil obtained by the extraction method is composed of a nonpolar substance that is soluble in the organic solvent used, but the pressed rice bran oil is liquid under the pressing treatment conditions present in the rice bran. The composition of the two is not the same.

得られた圧搾米糠油は、フィルタープレスなどを用いた濾過により夾雑物を除去した後に、以下の処理を順次行なう。なお、前記処理を施した圧搾米糠油を、粗圧搾米糠油という。 The obtained pressed rice bran oil is subjected to the following treatment in order after removing impurities by filtration using a filter press or the like. In addition, the pressed rice bran oil which performed the said process is called rough pressed rice bran oil.


先ず、粗圧搾米糠油に水蒸気または水を添加する。前記処理は、粗圧搾米糠油を加温、撹拌しながら、添加することにより行う。添加処理が完了した後も撹拌を継続し、その後、生成した不溶化物質を遠心分離機等で除去する。この処理工程において、水蒸気や水の代わりにクエン酸等の有機酸を溶解した水溶液を使用することもできる。水蒸気や水を添加する際の米糠油の温度は、40〜100℃が好ましい。

First, steam or water is added to the coarsely pressed rice bran oil. The said process is performed by adding coarsely pressed rice bran oil while heating and stirring. Stirring is continued even after the addition treatment is completed, and then the generated insolubilized material is removed with a centrifuge or the like. In this treatment step, an aqueous solution in which an organic acid such as citric acid is dissolved can be used instead of water vapor or water. As for the temperature of the rice bran oil at the time of adding water vapor | steam and water, 40-100 degreeC is preferable.


次いで、脱色処理、脱ロウ・ウィンター処理を行なう。これらの処理の順序は問わない。脱色処理は、前記の処理を行なった粗圧搾米糠油に酸性白土や活性白色土を添加し、撹拌することにより着色成分や着色原因になる成分を活性白色土に吸着させ、その後フィルタープレスなどを用いて白土を除去することにより行う。白土を除去の効率を高める目的で、白土に加えてケイソウ土などの濾過助剤を添加しても良い。処理時の粗圧搾米糠油の温度は70〜140℃であり、撹拌時間(処理時間)は10〜30分が好ましい。また、脱ロウ・ウィンター処理は、粗圧搾米糠油を0〜10℃まで冷却し、10〜50時間放置した後、公知の方法を用いて濾過すること行う。

Next, decolorization processing and dewaxing / winter processing are performed. The order of these processes does not matter. The decoloring treatment is performed by adding acidic white clay or active white clay to the coarsely-pressed rice bran oil that has been subjected to the above-mentioned treatment, and adsorbing the colored components or components causing the coloring to the active white soil by stirring, and then performing a filter press or the like. Use to remove the white clay. In order to increase the efficiency of removing white clay, a filter aid such as diatomaceous earth may be added in addition to white clay. The temperature of the coarsely pressed rice bran oil during the treatment is 70 to 140 ° C., and the stirring time (treatment time) is preferably 10 to 30 minutes. In addition, the dewaxing / winter treatment is performed by cooling the coarsely pressed rice bran oil to 0 to 10 ° C. and allowing it to stand for 10 to 50 hours, followed by filtration using a known method.


次いで、水蒸気蒸留を用いた処理を行なう。本発明における水蒸気蒸留は、5mmHg以下の陰圧下条件において、蒸留温度は230〜245℃、処理時間30分〜2時間、処理する粗圧搾米糠油に対して3質量%前後の水蒸気量を用いた処理を行うことが好ましい。

Next, treatment using steam distillation is performed. The steam distillation in the present invention was performed under a negative pressure of 5 mmHg or less, a distillation temperature of 230 to 245 ° C., a processing time of 30 minutes to 2 hours, and a steam amount of about 3% by mass with respect to the crude pressed rice bran oil to be processed. It is preferable to carry out the treatment.

前記処理を経て得られた、本発明の血管内皮機能改善剤に使用する精製圧搾米糠油は、トリグリセリドが80〜90質量%、γ-オリザノールが0.5〜2.5質量%、β-シトステロールが0.5〜1.5質量%、トコフェロール類(α-、β-、γ-、δ-トコフェロールの総量)0.03〜0.07質量%、ロウ分が0.1質量%以下、遊離脂肪酸が1質量%以下、水分0.1質量%以下の組成を有することが好ましい。   The purified compressed rice bran oil used for the vascular endothelial function improving agent of the present invention obtained through the above-mentioned treatment has a triglyceride of 80 to 90% by mass, γ-oryzanol of 0.5 to 2.5% by mass, β-sitosterol. 0.5 to 1.5 mass%, tocopherols (total amount of α-, β-, γ-, and δ-tocopherol) 0.03 to 0.07 mass%, wax content is 0.1 mass% or less, free It is preferable that the fatty acid has a composition of 1% by mass or less and a water content of 0.1% by mass or less.
