Description

本発明は誤嚥防止を確実にすると共に、咀嚼・嚥下困難者に応じた硬さ、凝集性、及び付着性を備え、かつ、熱湯を注ぐだけで短時間で容易に復元できる咀嚼・嚥下困難者用乾燥粥状食品の製造法に関する。   The present invention ensures prevention of aspiration and has hardness, cohesiveness, and adhesion according to those who have difficulty in chewing / swallowing, and can be easily restored in a short time simply by pouring hot water The present invention relates to a method for producing dry rice cake food for the elderly.

米飯を主食とする我が国では、病人に対する栄養補給のために、米飯を粥の形態に処方することが広く行われてきた。粥は通常の米飯に比べて単位重量当たりのエネルギー量は少ないものの、消化がよく、食欲や消化機能が落ちている場合でも、受け入れやすい形態である。   In Japan, which uses rice as a staple food, it has been widely practiced to formulate rice in the form of rice cakes to supplement the sick. Although rice bran has less energy per unit weight than ordinary cooked rice, it is easily digested and is an acceptable form even when appetite and digestive function are impaired.

近年、日本では人口に占める高齢者の割合が高まっており、歯の喪失や筋力低下等、老化に伴う様々な原因によって咀嚼・嚥下機能が低下する者が増えている。   In recent years, the proportion of elderly people in the population has been increasing in Japan, and the number of people with reduced mastication / swallowing functions due to various causes associated with aging, such as loss of teeth and muscle weakness, has increased.

現在用いられている、高齢者用食品及び咀嚼・嚥下困難者用食品としては、やわらか食・きざみ食、ミキサー食、濃厚流動食、とろみ調整食品等が例として挙げられる(非特許文献1)。これらの食品においては、やわらかく、咀嚼物が程よく凝集し、飲み込みやすいこと等が重要な要素として求められる。   Examples of currently used foods for the elderly and foods for persons with difficulty in chewing / swallowing include soft foods, chopped foods, mixer foods, concentrated liquid foods, thickened foods, and the like (Non-Patent Document 1). In these foods, it is required as an important factor that they are soft and the chewed product is agglomerated moderately and is easy to swallow.

特に、食感をやわらかく調整した食品に適正なとろみをつけることで、咀嚼・嚥下困難者でも食べやすく、かつ、誤嚥や吐き戻しによる事故が起こりにくいように調整したとろみ調整食品は、健常者用の食品に比較的近い形態であることから、高齢者や咀嚼・嚥下困難者でも健常者時代に近い食の楽しみを得ることができる。   In particular, by adjusting the texture of the food with a soft texture, it is easy to eat even for people with difficulty in chewing and swallowing, and the thickened food is adjusted so that accidents due to aspiration and vomiting are less likely to occur. Since it is a form that is relatively close to conventional foods, even elderly people and those who have difficulty chewing / swallowing can enjoy food enjoyment similar to that of healthy people.

粥は広義ではやわらかく、とろみのある調整食品といえるが、咀嚼・嚥下困難者を対象とした場合では問題がある。例えば特許文献1では、咀嚼・嚥下困難者にとっては、米粒と重湯の分離が誤嚥の原因となることが指摘されている。そのため、咀嚼・嚥下困難者用の粥を調製するにあたっては、米粒と重湯の分離が起こらないような処置が必要となる。増粘剤を利用してとろみをつけることは、有効な手段の1つである。   Although wrinkles are soft and thick in the broad sense, they can be said to be thick, but there are problems when targeting mastication and swallowing difficulties. For example, Patent Document 1 points out that separation of rice grains and heavy water causes aspiration for those who have difficulty chewing or swallowing. Therefore, when preparing a bowl for persons with difficulty in chewing / swallowing, it is necessary to take a measure that does not cause separation of rice grains and heavy water. Thickening with a thickener is an effective means.

通常、咀嚼・嚥下困難者用食品にとろみをつける場合は、寒天やグアーガムなどの食用の増粘多糖類を利用することが多い。このような食用多糖類は素材として均一であり、適度な保水性を持ち、かつ、誤嚥の原因となるような微細な粒状物が発生する恐れが少ない。また、極端な加温冷却にさらしても物性や溶解性が安定していることも利点の1つである。   Usually, when thickening foods for persons with difficulty in chewing or swallowing, edible thickening polysaccharides such as agar and guar gum are often used. Such an edible polysaccharide is uniform as a raw material, has an appropriate water retention property, and is less likely to generate fine granular materials that cause aspiration. Another advantage is that the physical properties and solubility are stable even when exposed to extreme heating and cooling.

特許文献1では、でん粉や寒天、ゼラチン等を用いて硬さの調製を行うことは、多くの料理で通常行われることであるが、介護食や嚥下訓練食として、常に安定な硬さを保持して調理することは難しいことが指摘されており、凝固剤、増粘剤の少なくとも一方により、米粒を凝固又は増粘させて重湯と米粒を分離し難くすることを特徴とした技術とすることで解決できる旨が記載されている。   In Patent Document 1, preparation of hardness using starch, agar, gelatin, etc. is usually performed in many dishes, but it always maintains stable hardness as nursing food or swallowing training food. It is pointed out that it is difficult to cook, and a technique characterized in that it is difficult to separate heavy water and rice grains by coagulating or thickening the rice grains with at least one of a coagulant and a thickener. It is described that it can be solved by.

しかしながら、凝固剤や増粘剤でとろみをつけた粥は、咀嚼・嚥下困難者用食品として適しているものの、栄養価が高いことから、菌的な汚染等に弱く、長期間の保存を可能とするためには、たとえばアルミの包装袋に密封し、さらに、高温高圧で殺菌処理を行うことが必要となる。また多量に水分を含む、かさ高い食品であることから、流通や保管の面でも不利である。   However, although thickened with a coagulant or thickener, it is suitable as a food for people with difficulty in chewing and swallowing, but because it has high nutritional value, it is vulnerable to bacterial contamination and can be stored for a long time In order to achieve this, it is necessary to seal, for example, in an aluminum packaging bag and to perform sterilization at high temperature and pressure. Moreover, since it is a bulky food containing a large amount of water, it is disadvantageous in terms of distribution and storage.

粥を長期保存する方法としては何らかの方法で乾燥し、乾燥粥とする方法が挙げられる。
即席乾燥粥の製造法としては、例えば、減圧乾燥した米を沸騰水中に投入して加熱した後、食塩水に浸漬し、水切りして凍結乾燥する方法(特許文献2)や、米に対して3〜5倍量の水を添加し、炊飯して得られる米飯を、調理した具及び調味料とともに所定の容器に入れた後、急速凍結し、次いで凍結乾燥する方法(特許文献3)などが知られている。しかしこれらの方法は、いずれも複雑な前工程を要し、工業化するには再現性も含めて種々の問題があった。
Examples of the method for preserving the koji for a long period include a method of drying the koji by some method to obtain a dry koji.
As a method for producing instant dried rice cake, for example, a method in which rice dried under reduced pressure is put into boiling water and heated, then immersed in saline, drained and freeze-dried (Patent Document 2), A method in which 3-5 times the amount of water is added and cooked rice is put into a predetermined container together with cooked ingredients and seasonings, then rapidly frozen and then freeze-dried (Patent Document 3), etc. Are known. However, these methods all require a complicated pre-process, and there are various problems including reproducibility for industrialization.

その改良法として、洗浄した米を水に浸漬後、水切りし、6〜10倍量の水と共に加熱してα化させ、粥としたものを容器に充填し、−5℃〜−1℃でプランクの凍結速度で2mm/h以下になるように緩慢凍結した後、凍結乾燥する方法(特許文献4)が提案された。しかしこの方法はとろみをつけない通常の粥を対象としたものであり、米粒と重湯が分離しないようにとろみをつけた咀嚼・嚥下困難者用の粥では、熱湯を注いだ後の復元が十分とは言い難く、復元にも相当の時間を要した。   As an improved method, the washed rice is dipped in water, drained, heated with 6 to 10 times the amount of water to be gelatinized, filled with crumbs, and filled in a container at -5 ° C to -1 ° C. A method of freeze-drying after slow freezing so that the plank freezing speed is 2 mm / h or less (Patent Document 4) has been proposed. However, this method is intended for normal rice cakes that do not thicken, and for those with difficulty in chewing and swallowing so that the rice grains and heavy water are not separated, the restoration after pouring hot water is sufficient. It was hard to say, and it took a considerable amount of time to restore.

本発明の課題は、熱湯を注いだ後に咀嚼・嚥下困難者用食品として必要なとろみを保持しつつ、米粒と重湯が分離せず、かつ、速やかに良好な復元状態を得ることができる乾燥粥状食品の新規製造法を提供することである。   An object of the present invention is to provide a dry koji that can maintain a thickness necessary as a food for people with difficulty in chewing / swallowing after pouring hot water, and that rice grains and heavy water do not separate and can quickly obtain a good restored state. It is to provide a new production method for food products.

上記課題に鑑み鋭意研究の結果、本発明者らは、これまで介護食や嚥下訓練食では、安定した品質を保ちにくいとされ、物性や溶解性の面で難があるとされて使用を避けられてきたでん粉を適正に用いてとろみをつけ、米粒と重湯を覆った状態で凍結処理にかけて米粒の組織を適度に破壊することで、熱湯を注いだ後に咀嚼・嚥下困難者用食品として必要なとろみを保持しつつ、米粒と重湯が分離せず、かつ、速やかに良好な復元状態を得られる製法を見出した。   As a result of diligent research in view of the above problems, the present inventors have heretofore avoided the use of nursing foods and swallowing training foods, which are considered difficult to maintain stable quality and difficult in terms of physical properties and solubility. It is necessary as a food for people with difficulty in chewing and swallowing after pouring hot water by properly squeezing the starch using the starch and applying the freezing treatment while covering the rice grains and heavy hot water and destroying the rice grain structure appropriately.

本発明は、米飯にでん粉を加えることを含む、復元後に適切なとろみを保持しており、米粒と重湯が分離しない咀嚼・嚥下困難者用即席乾燥粥状食品の製造法である。
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.
The present invention is a method for producing an instant dry rice cake food for persons with difficulty in chewing / swallowing, which includes adding starch to cooked rice, retaining an appropriate thickening after restoration, and in which rice grains and heavy water are not separated.

本発明で用いる米は、短粒種の米であればいずれであってもよいが、好ましくは短粒種のうるち米の精白米である。   The rice used in the present invention may be any short-grained rice, but it is preferably polished white rice that is short-grained.

粥は重湯の中に柔らかい米粒が分散した食品であり、本発明の咀嚼・嚥下困難者用即席乾燥粥状食品は、湯を加え復元したときに粥の形態をとる食品である。   Koji is a food in which soft rice grains are dispersed in heavy hot water, and the instant dry koji-shaped food for people with difficulty in chewing / swallowing is a food that takes the form of koji when reconstituted with hot water.

本発明では、まず最初に、洗浄した米100質量部に対して水を140質量部以上、150質量部未満を添加し、米を水に浸漬して常法にて炊き上げて米飯を作成する。   In the present invention, first, 140 parts by mass or more and less than 150 parts by mass of water are added to 100 parts by mass of washed rice, and the rice is soaked in water and cooked in a conventional manner to prepare cooked rice. .

本発明の粥状食品は種々の具材を含んでいてもよい。具材は限定されないが、鮭、卵、梅干し、海苔、わさび、にんじん、ほうれん草等が挙げられる。   The bowl-shaped food of the present invention may contain various ingredients. The ingredients are not limited, but examples include salmon, eggs, dried plums, seaweed, wasabi, carrots, and spinach.

具材は米飯をほぐした後に加えればよい。次いで、米飯にでん粉を加える。でん粉の由来植物は限定されず、トウモロコシでん粉、小麦でん粉、馬鈴薯でん粉等いずれの由来のでん粉も用いることができるが、馬鈴薯でん粉が好ましい。でん粉は調味料類と混合して加えてもよい。調味料類は限定されないが、しょうゆ、酢、ポン酢、塩、砂糖、香辛料等が挙げられる。でん粉は炊き上げた米飯100質量部に対して3.5質量部以上、6.5質量部未満加える。でん粉を含む調味料類は90℃以上に加温した後に米飯に投入する。この際、でん粉以外の、寒天、カラギーナン、ファセレラン、ジェランガム、ローカストビーンガム、コンニャクマンナン、タラガム、グァーガム、アルギン酸、アルギン酸ナトリウム、プルラン、アラビアガム、タマリンドガム、サイリュウームシードガム、トラガントガム、カラヤガム、キサンタンガム、カルボキシメチルセルロース、結晶化セルロース、グルコマンナン、ペクチン、カードラン、アロエ葉肉、ナタデココ、夕顔ファイバー等の増粘多糖類である増粘剤は添加しない。   Ingredients can be added after loosening the cooked rice. Next, starch is added to the cooked rice. The starch-derived plant is not limited, and any starch derived from corn starch, wheat starch, potato starch or the like can be used, but potato starch is preferred. Starch may be added in combination with seasonings. Seasonings are not limited, but include soy sauce, vinegar, ponzu, salt, sugar, spices and the like. Starch is added at least 3.5 parts by mass and less than 6.5 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of cooked cooked rice. Seasonings containing starch are heated to 90 ° C or higher and then added to the cooked rice. At this time, other than starch, agar, carrageenan, facelleran, gellan gum, locust bean gum, konjac mannan, tara gum, guar gum, alginic acid, sodium alginate, pullulan, gum arabic, tamarind gum, syrup seed gum, tragacanth gum, caraya gum, xanthan gum No thickeners which are thickening polysaccharides such as carboxymethylcellulose, crystallized cellulose, glucomannan, pectin, curdlan, aloe mesophyll, nata de coco and evening glory fiber are not added.

この後、50℃以上、60℃以下の加熱条件で攪拌混合を行う。攪拌混合は、2〜15分間、好ましくは2〜5分間、さらに好ましくは3分間行えばよい。攪拌混合の方法は、米飯とでん粉が十分に馴染み、均一化できる方法であれば特に限定されない。攪拌混合工程により、でん粉が含まれた粥となる。   Thereafter, stirring and mixing are performed under heating conditions of 50 ° C. or higher and 60 ° C. or lower. The stirring and mixing may be performed for 2 to 15 minutes, preferably 2 to 5 minutes, and more preferably 3 minutes. The method of stirring and mixing is not particularly limited as long as the cooked rice and starch are sufficiently familiar and uniform. By the stirring and mixing step, starch containing starch is obtained.

次いで、得られた粥を凍結する。凍結工程は、−10℃〜−30℃、好ましくは−20℃で、1時間以上、好ましくは2時間以上行う。本凍結の前に、予備凍結工程として、緩慢凍結法を組み合わせることもできる。緩慢凍結は、通常最大氷結晶生成帯といわれている温度−5℃〜−1℃で10〜50時間行うのが好ましく、特に15〜30時間行うのが好ましい。   The resulting cocoon is then frozen. The freezing step is performed at −10 ° C. to −30 ° C., preferably −20 ° C. for 1 hour or longer, preferably 2 hours or longer. A slow freezing method can be combined as a preliminary freezing step before the main freezing. The slow freezing is preferably carried out at a temperature of −5 ° C. to −1 ° C., usually called the maximum ice crystal formation zone, for 10 to 50 hours, and particularly preferably for 15 to 30 hours.

次に、凍結した粥状食品を真空凍結乾燥する。真空凍結乾燥は、減圧下での凍結をいい、減圧下とは、残存圧0.02MPa以下、好ましくは0.01MPa以下の条件をいう。真空凍結乾燥は、Genesis 25EL(Virtis社製)等の機器を用いて行うことができる。   Next, the frozen rice cake food is vacuum lyophilized. Vacuum freeze-drying refers to freezing under reduced pressure. Under reduced pressure, the residual pressure is 0.02 MPa or less, preferably 0.01 MPa or less. Vacuum freeze-drying can be performed using equipment such as Genesis 25EL (manufactured by Virtis).

凍結工程において、でん粉が米粒と重湯を抱き込んだ状態で凍結され、このときに、米粒やでん粉に微細な傷が入る。微細な傷は、乾燥粥状食品を湯で復元するときに湯の通り道になるので、復元が良好に進む。また、微細な傷の存在により乾燥粥状食品全体の崩壊性がよくなり、均一な柔らかさを有するようになる。このため、最終的に得られる即席乾燥粥状食品は、優れた復元性を有し、良好な食感や香味等の品位が乾燥前の粥状食品と比べ低下しない。   In the freezing step, the starch is frozen in a state of embracing the rice grains and heavy water, and at this time, the rice grains and starch are finely damaged. Since fine scratches become a passage for hot water when the dried rice cake is restored with hot water, the restoration progresses well. In addition, the presence of fine scratches improves the disintegration of the whole dried rice cake-like food and has a uniform softness. For this reason, the instant dry rice cake-like food finally obtained has an excellent restorability, and the quality such as good texture and flavor does not deteriorate compared to the rice cake-like food before drying.

作成された乾燥粥状食品は、通常は容器に充填する。容器としては、いかなるものであってもよいが、例えば耐熱性の樹脂性、金属製等の種々の形状のものが用いられ、例えば、粥を所定の大きさに等分化して充填できるようにしたトレイ等を用いることができる。   The prepared dried rice cake food is normally filled in a container. The container may be anything, but for example, heat-resistant resinous, metal-shaped ones are used, for example, so that the basket can be equally divided into a predetermined size and filled A tray or the like can be used.

このとき、充填した乾燥粥状食品の表面水分が蒸発すると、米粒の復元状態が悪くなってしまう。これを防ぐためには、乾燥粥状食品の表面の水分が蒸発しないように処理するのが好ましい。水分蒸発を防ぐ具体的な処理方法として、スープ、水等を粥状食品の表面にスプレーする方法や、粥状食品の表面を樹脂性のシート、金属製の蓋等で密着するように被覆する方法等が挙げられる。   At this time, if the surface moisture of the filled dried rice cake-like food evaporates, the restored state of the rice grains becomes worse. In order to prevent this, it is preferable to treat so that moisture on the surface of the dried rice cake food does not evaporate. Specific treatment methods to prevent moisture evaporation include spraying soup, water, etc. on the surface of the bowl-shaped food, or coating the surface of the bowl-shaped food with a resinous sheet, metal lid, etc. Methods and the like.

このようにして得られる咀嚼・嚥下困難者用乾燥粥状食品は、熱湯を注ぐことにより速やかに復元し凍結乾燥前の元の粥状食品に戻る。復元した粥状食品は、咀嚼・嚥下困難者用食品として必要なかたさ及び必要なとろみを保持しており、咀嚼・嚥下困難者用に適した凝集性及び付着性を備えている。また、米粒と重湯が分離しないため、誤嚥を防ぐこともできる。ここで、「凝集性」とは舌で押しつぶされた食物が結着し合って飲み込みやすい食塊を形成する能力のことをいう。食塊を形成しにくいと、気管に入りこみ誤嚥となる可能性が高くなる。また、「付着性」とは食物が口腔内にベタつく度合いのことをいい、この付着性が高過ぎると口腔内や咽頭などに食物が張り付き、後に唾液に溶け出して誤嚥する可能性が高くなる。そのため、適度な粘度があって食塊形成しやすく、ベタつかずに軟らかく変形しながら咽頭を滑らかに通過するものが嚥下障害を有する物に適した介護食の物性条件となる。本発明の咀嚼・嚥下困難者用乾燥粥状食品は、介護食として適切な凝集性と付着性を有しているため、咀嚼したときの咀嚼物がまとまりやすく、食塊を形成し易い。従って、本発明の咀嚼・嚥下困難者用乾燥粥状食品は、咀嚼後飲み込みやすく、咀嚼後の繊維カス等が口内残存物として残りにくいので、誤嚥を引き起こしにくい。   The dried rice cake food for persons with difficulty in chewing / swallowing thus obtained is quickly restored by pouring hot water, and returns to the original rice cake food before lyophilization. The restored candy-like food retains the necessary hardness and the necessary thickness as a food for persons with difficulty in chewing / swallowing, and has cohesiveness and adhesion suitable for those having difficulty in chewing / swallowing. In addition, since the rice grains and heavy water are not separated, aspiration can be prevented. Here, “cohesiveness” refers to the ability of foods crushed by the tongue to bind and form a bolus that is easy to swallow. If it is difficult to form a bolus, the possibility of entering the trachea and aspiration increases. “Adhesiveness” refers to the degree to which food is sticky in the oral cavity. If this adhesiveness is too high, the food will stick to the oral cavity and pharynx, etc. Become. For this reason, a material having a suitable viscosity and easily forming a bolus, and smoothly passing through the pharynx while being softly deformed without stickiness is a physical property condition of a nursing food suitable for an object having dysphagia. The dry rice cake-like food for persons with difficulty in chewing / swallowing according to the present invention has cohesiveness and adhesiveness suitable as a nursing food, so that the chewed food is easy to be collected and a bolus is easily formed. Therefore, the dry cane-like food for persons with difficulty in chewing / swallowing according to the present invention is easy to swallow after mastication, and the fiber residue after mastication hardly remains as a residue in the mouth, so that it is difficult to cause aspiration.

復元に必要な熱湯の量は、乾燥粥状食品19.5質量部に対して、140〜150質量部程度(乾燥粥19.5gに対して、140〜150mL程度の熱湯)である。復元にかかる復元時間は、熱湯を加えてから180秒以下、好ましくは150秒以下、さらに好ましくは140秒以下である。ここで、復元時間とは、熱湯を注いでから乾燥食品のブロック全体が箸で容易にほぐれ、かつ米粒が粥状に復元し、かつ、食品としてのとろみが日本介護食品協議会の規定するとろみの基準の3又は4に相当するまでの時間をいい、食するに適する状態になるまでの時間をいう。   The amount of hot water necessary for restoration is about 140 to 150 parts by mass with respect to 19.5 parts by mass of dried rice cake-like food (about 140 to 150 mL of hot water with respect to 19.5 g of dried rice cake). The restoration time required for restoration is 180 seconds or less, preferably 150 seconds or less, more preferably 140 seconds or less after adding hot water. Here, the restoration time refers to the fact that the entire block of dried food can be easily loosened with chopsticks after pouring hot water, the rice grains are restored to a bowl shape, and the thickening as food is regulated by the Japan Nursing Food Council. The time until it corresponds to 3 or 4 of the standard, and the time until it becomes a state suitable for eating.

熱湯で元の粥状食品に戻した後の咀嚼・嚥下困難者用乾燥粥状食品は、日本介護食品協議会のユニバーサルデザインフード自主規格の区分3のかたさとすることもできる。日本介護食品協議会では、介護食を咀嚼の容易さにより、4つの区分に分けている。すなわち、「容易にかめる」ものを区分1(UDF1)とし、「歯ぐきでつぶせる」ものを区分2(UDF2)とし、「舌でつぶせるもの」を区分3(UDF3)とし、「かまなくてもよい」ものを区分4(UDF4)としている。日本介護食品協議会のユニバーサルデザインフード自主規格の区分は、日本介護食品協議会のユニバーサルデザインフード自主規格の方法あるいはそれに準ずる方法で測定することができる。日本介護食品協議会のユニバーサルデザインフード自主規格の方法は以下のとおりである。   The dried rice cake food for people with difficulty in chewing / swallowing after returning to the original rice cake food with hot water can be the hardness of Category 3 of the Universal Design Food Voluntary Standard of the Japan Nursing Food Council. The Japan Nursing Food Council has divided nursing food into four categories according to the ease of chewing. That is, “Easy to bite” is classified as Category 1 (UDF1), “Crushable with gums” is classified as Category 2 (UDF2), “What can be crushed with the tongue” is classified as Category 3 (UDF3), Are classified as Category 4 (UDF4). The classification of the universal design food voluntary standard of the Japan Nursing Food Council can be measured by the method of the universal design food voluntary standard of the Japan Nursing Food Council or a method according to it. The method of the universal design food voluntary standard of the Japan Nursing Food Council is as follows.

試料を直径40mmの容器に高さ15mmに充填し、直径20mmのプランジャーで圧縮速度10mm/sec、クリアランス5mmで測定する。測定は20±2℃で行う。ただし、測定容器に移すことで、物性が変化するもの、測定容器に移せないもの、不定形なものなどは測定に支障のないことを確認して、クリアランスを試料の厚さ30%として直接測定してもよい。プランジャーの材質には規定はなく、測定機器としては、直線運動により物質の圧縮応力を測定することが可能な装置を用いる。例えば、直線運動により物質の圧縮応力を測定することが可能な装置としてテクスチャーアナライザー(例えば、TA Xt plus(英光精機社製))を用い、凝固させた加工食品材料に、φ20mm円柱型プランジャーを10mm/secの速度でサンプル厚みの70%まで押し込んだ際の荷重値を測定することにより行えばよい。荷重値は、N/m2で表すことができる。上記方法で測定したときのかたさ上限値は、区分3が1×104 N/m2(ゾルの場合)である。 A sample is filled into a container with a diameter of 40 mm to a height of 15 mm, and measured with a plunger with a diameter of 20 mm at a compression speed of 10 mm / sec and a clearance of 5 mm. The measurement is performed at 20 ± 2 ° C. However, confirm that there are no obstacles to the measurement of those whose physical properties change, those that cannot be transferred to the measuring container, and those that are indeterminate by moving to a measuring container, and measure the clearance directly at a sample thickness of 30%. May be. The material of the plunger is not specified, and as the measuring instrument, a device capable of measuring the compressive stress of the substance by linear motion is used. For example, using a texture analyzer (for example, TA Xt plus (manufactured by Eiko Seiki Co., Ltd.)) as a device capable of measuring the compressive stress of a substance by linear motion, a φ20mm cylindrical plunger is applied to the solidified processed food material. What is necessary is just to measure the load value when it is pushed to 70% of the sample thickness at a speed of 10 mm / sec. The load value can be expressed as N / m 2 . The upper limit of hardness when measured by the above method is 1 × 10 4 N / m 2 (in the case of sol) in Category 3.

本明細書でいう「とろみ」とは、若干の粘性を意味し、液状の飲料や食品に粘性を持たせることを「とろみをつける」と呼ぶ。適度なとろみをつけることで飲料や食品が口の中でまとまりやすくなり、また、食物が咽頭から食道に入る速度を適正に制御することで、気管への誤嚥を防止する効果がある。誤嚥を防ぐには、適正なとろみとする必要があり、強すぎても弱すぎても誤嚥を招く(村上祥子著 ハッピー介護食p192)。食品のとろみの基準は、日本介護食品協議会により統一表示として定められており、該統一表示では、とろみの強さを4段階で表示している。とろみの強さ1〜4のとろみのイメージとして、それぞれ、フレンチドレッシング状、とんかつソース状、ケチャップ状及びマヨネーズ状として表現される。本発明の咀嚼・嚥下困難者用乾燥粥状食品を復元し粥状食品に戻した後のとろみは、該基準の3又は4に相当する。   “Thoroughness” as used in the present specification means a slight viscosity, and imparting viscosity to a liquid beverage or food is called “thickening”. A moderate amount of thickening makes it easier for drinks and foods to be collected in the mouth, and by appropriately controlling the speed at which food enters the esophagus from the pharynx, it has the effect of preventing aspiration into the trachea. In order to prevent aspiration, it is necessary to use proper thickening, and if it is too strong or too weak, it will cause aspiration (Sachiko Murakami Happy Care Food p192). The standard of food thickening is set as unified labeling by the Japan Nursing Food Council, and in this unified labeling, the strength of thickening is displayed in four levels. The thickening images of thickening strength 1 to 4 are expressed as a French dressing shape, a tonkatsu sauce shape, a ketchup shape and a mayonnaise shape, respectively. Thickness after the dried wrinkled food for a person with difficulty in chewing / swallowing according to the present invention is restored and returned to the wrinkled food corresponds to 3 or 4 of the standard.

また、本発明の咀嚼・嚥下困難者用乾燥粥状食品を復元し粥状食品に戻した後のとろみは、特定のとろみの測定法による測定値で規定される。とろみの測定法は複数考案されているが、その1つとしてLine Spread Test(LST)が提案されている(Dysphagia. 2007, 22(4)306-11.)。LSTにおいては、同心円状に中心からの距離が表示された測定シートに検体を供し、検体が一定時間内に広がった距離を測定し、その値をとろみの指標とする。極端に流れにくいものや流れやすいものの測定には不向きであるものの、複雑な器具を用いず、簡便、かつ、直感的に客観的な指標を得る方法である。種々の食品のLSTの測定値と他の物性との関係を図1に、測定の具体的方法を図2に、測定シートの外観を図3に示す。図2に示すように、LSTはリング(抜き型)を使った方法と、シリンジを使った方法があり、リングを使った方法は、(1)水平な場所に測定シートを置き、直径30mm程度のリングを同心円の中心に置き、(2)計量スプーンなどを使って検体20mLをリングの中に流し込み、(3)リングの中で食材が均等に広がった後、リングを垂直に持ち上げ、検体が広がった距離を測定することにより行う。シリンジを使った方法は、(1)シリンジを使って検体20mLを吸い上げ、(2)同心円の中心上、高さ約20mmのところにシリンジを垂直に構え、(3)同心円の中心に2〜8秒間かけて溶液を押し出し、検体が広がった距離を測定することにより行う。   Moreover, the thickness after restoring the dried rice cake food for persons with difficulty in chewing / swallowing according to the present invention and returning it to the rice cake food is defined by the measured value by the specific method for measuring the milkiness. Several methods of measuring the thickening have been devised, and one of them has been proposed the Line Spread Test (LST) (Dysphagia. 2007, 22 (4) 306-11.). In LST, a specimen is provided on a measurement sheet in which the distance from the center is displayed concentrically, the distance over which the specimen has spread within a certain period of time is measured, and the value is used as a thickening index. Although this method is not suitable for measuring extremely difficult or easy-to-flow objects, it is a simple and intuitive method of obtaining objective indicators without using complex instruments. FIG. 1 shows the relationship between LST measurement values and other physical properties of various foods, FIG. 2 shows a specific method of measurement, and FIG. 3 shows the appearance of the measurement sheet. As shown in Fig. 2, LST has a method using a ring (punch die) and a method using a syringe. The method using a ring is as follows: (1) Place a measurement sheet on a horizontal surface and have a diameter of about 30 mm. (2) Pour 20 mL of the sample into the ring using a measuring spoon, etc. (3) After the ingredients spread evenly in the ring, lift the ring vertically, This is done by measuring the spread distance. In the method using a syringe, (1) 20 mL of a sample is sucked up using a syringe, (2) the syringe is vertically set at a height of about 20 mm on the center of the concentric circle, and (3) 2-8 in the center of the concentric circle. This is done by extruding the solution over a second and measuring the distance the specimen has spread.

本発明の咀嚼・嚥下困難者用乾燥粥状食品を復元し粥状食品に戻した後のとろみは、Line Spread Testで測定した場合、15〜60mm(抜き型使用時)である。   Thickness after restoring the dried rice cake food for persons with difficulty in chewing / swallowing according to the present invention and returning it to the rice cake food is 15-60 mm (when using a punching die) as measured by Line Spread Test.

また、とろみは粘度計を用いて測定することもできる。粘度計としては、例えばVISCOMATER TVB-10(TOKISANGYO CO., LTD.)を用いることができる。粘度計を用いて測定したときの本発明の咀嚼・嚥下困難者用乾燥粥状食品を復元し粥状食品に戻した後のとろみは1500〜5000mPa・s、好ましくは1500〜3500mPa・sである。上記のように本発明の乾燥粥状食品の復元にかかる復元時間は、熱湯を加えてから180秒以下、好ましくは150秒以下、さらに好ましくは140秒以下であるが、復元後この時間で1500〜1500mPa・sのとろみを有するようになる。なお、粥状食品に戻した後、時間が経過すると水分の蒸発や温度低下によりとろみは増大する。時間が経過すると、Line Spread Testで測定した場合のとろみが、15〜60mm(抜き型使用時)を超え、あるいは粘度計を用いて測定したときのとろみ(粘度)が1500〜5000mPa・sを超えることもあるが、本発明の復元し粥状食品に戻した後のとろみとは、熱湯を加えてから180秒以下、好ましくは150秒以下、さらに好ましくは140秒以下におけるとろみをいう。   Thoroughness can also be measured using a viscometer. As the viscometer, for example, VISCOMATER TVB-10 (TOKISANGYO CO., LTD.) Can be used. Thickness after restoring the dried rice cake food for persons with difficulty in chewing / swallowing according to the present invention when measured using a viscometer is 1500 to 5000 mPa · s, preferably 1500 to 3500 mPa · s. . As described above, the restoration time required for the restoration of the dried rice cake-like food of the present invention is 180 seconds or less, preferably 150 seconds or less, more preferably 140 seconds or less after the addition of hot water. It has a thickness of ~ 1500mPa · s. In addition, after returning to a candy-like food, when time passes, thickening will increase by evaporation of water or a temperature fall. When time passes, the thickness when measured with the Line Spread Test exceeds 15 to 60 mm (when using a punching die), or the thickness (viscosity) when measured with a viscometer exceeds 1500 to 5000 mPa · s. In some cases, the thickening after returning to the restored cocoon-like food of the present invention refers to the thickening after adding hot water for 180 seconds or shorter, preferably 150 seconds or shorter, more preferably 140 seconds or shorter.

さらに、本発明の咀嚼・嚥下困難者用乾燥粥状食品は、熱量が乾燥粥状食品100gあたり、200kcal以上、500kcal以下であり、お湯を加えて復元した後の熱量が100gあたり、20kcal以上、70kcal以下、好ましくは40kcal以上、50kcal未満である。熱量は、栄養表示基準(平成15年厚生労働省告示第176号)による熱量換算係数を用いてたんぱく質、脂質、炭水化物の実測値から算出することができる。具体的には、たんぱく質量、脂質量、炭水化物量にそれぞれアトウォーター(Atwater)のエネルギー換算係数である4kcal、9kcal、4kcalをかけて足せばよい。   Furthermore, the dry rice cake food for persons with difficulty in chewing / swallowing of the present invention has a calorific value of 200 kcal or more and 500 kcal or less per 100 g of dried rice cake food, and the calorie after reconstitution with hot water is 20 kcal or more per 100 g. 70 kcal or less, preferably 40 kcal or more and less than 50 kcal. The calorific value can be calculated from the actual measured values of protein, lipid, and carbohydrate using a calorific value conversion coefficient according to the nutrition labeling standard (2003, Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare Notification No. 176). Specifically, the protein mass, lipid amount, and carbohydrate amount may be multiplied by 4 kcal, 9 kcal, and 4 kcal, which are Atwater energy conversion factors, respectively.

咀嚼・嚥下困難者用乾燥粥状食品100g当りの熱量を測定した。乾燥粥状食品中のたんぱく質量、脂質量、炭水化物量を測定し、アトウォーター(Atwater)のエネルギー換算係数(たんぱく質、脂質、炭水化物に対して、それぞれ4kcal、9kcal、4kcal)をかけて、総和として熱量を測定した。
Example 4
The amount of heat per 100 g of dry rice cake food for those who have difficulty chewing or swallowing was measured. Measure the protein mass, lipid content, and carbohydrate content in the dried rice cake and multiply the energy conversion factors of Atwater (4kcal, 9kcal, and 4kcal for protein, lipid, and carbohydrate, respectively) The amount of heat was measured.

梅粥、鮭粥、海苔粥、中華粥の100g当りの熱量は、それぞれ、360kcal、381kcal、367kcal及び404kcalであった。本発明の粥状食品を復元する場合、乾燥物19.5gに対して、お湯を140〜150ml(140g〜150g)加える。従って、復元後の粥の単位質量当りの熱量は乾燥食品の単位質量当りの熱量の11.5〜12.2%((19.5/100)*(100/159.5)〜(19.5/100)*(100/169.5)%)である。すなわち、復元後の梅粥の熱量は100gあたり41.4kcal〜43.9kcal、鮭粥の熱量は100gあたり43.8kcal〜46.5kcal、海苔粥の熱量は100gあたり42.2kcal〜44.8kcal、中華粥の熱量は100gあたり46.5kcal〜49.3kcalと概算された。   The amount of heat per 100 g of plum cake, rice cake, seaweed rice cake, and Chinese rice cake was 360 kcal, 381 kcal, 367 kcal, and 404 kcal, respectively. When restoring the rice cake-like food of the present invention, 140 to 150 ml (140 g to 150 g) of hot water is added to 19.5 g of the dried product. Therefore, the calorific value per unit mass of the salmon after restoration is 11.5-12.2% ((19.5 / 100) * (100 / 159.5)-(19.5 / 100) * ( 100 / 169.5)%). That is, the calorific value of the plum cake after restoration is 41.4 kcal to 43.9 kcal per 100 g, the calorific value of the salmon is 43.8 kcal to 46.5 kcal per 100 g, and the calorie of the laver rice cake is 42.2 kcal to 44.8 kcal per 100 g, The calorific value of Chinese koji was estimated to be 46.5 kcal to 49.3 kcal per 100 g.
