Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a paste capable of containing an antioxidant agent being an active ingredient included in a seed, and capable of fully utilizing fruit, berries and vegetables including seed.SOLUTION: Fruit of citron is cleaned and a stem of the citron is removed, then the fruit including a seed is finely cut with a food cutter for mincing the fruit and seed. Then the minced fruit and seed are steamed for 10-30 minutes at temperature of 75 or more and less than 100°C. After the steamed fruit and seed are cooled, the fruit and seed are put in a grinder which is a stone mill system, for grinding all fruit including the seed, skin, and citrus fruit segment for making the all fruit minute, for obtaining a paste including smooth seeds without roughness.

Description

  The present invention relates to a paste containing all components contained in fruits, berries, or seed-containing vegetables, and a method for producing the same.

Vegetables, fruits, and berry seeds are known to contain components beneficial to the body.
For example, oils contained in citrus coconut seeds have an excellent antioxidant action, and because the pericarp contains antioxidants, arteriosclerosis, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, cancer It is said to be effective for lifestyle-related diseases such as In addition, plant sterols and lignans contained in the seeds of coconut are effective for urination troubles such as hypersensitivity cystitis and pollakiuria, and have the effect of acting on prostate hypertrophy and relieving the symptoms. Extracting active ingredients through various treatment processes has been performed.
In addition, it has been reported that fruit juice, pericarp, and juice squeezed fruit juice also contain eriocitrin and neohesperidin, which are flavonoids having an antioxidant action.

  Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-98255) discloses that a water-soluble antioxidant substance is obtained from a citrus peel by alcohol extraction. Patent Document 2 (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2014-65664) discloses that seed oil extracted from eggplant seeds has an antioxidant effect that hardly contains flavonoids.

JP-A-5-98255 JP 2014-65664 A

When a fruit or the like is made into a paste, the seed has a hard shell, and therefore it has been removed as an obstacle to the paste. Removing seeds from fruits and the like is time consuming and throws away useful components.
It has been proposed to extract and use antioxidants from seeds that were thrown away when making pastes.

  However, no attempt has been made to paste the seeds together with fruits such as fruits and vegetables, and seeds are not used in eggplant or lemon paste, but are discarded or used as feed. Met.

In order to use the active ingredient contained in the seed, various treatments are necessary as described above, which is costly.
This invention provides the paste which utilized the whole fruit, berries, and vegetables including the antioxidant which is an active ingredient contained in a seed.

  The present invention is a vegetable paste having fruits, berries, or seeds, including seeds ground with fruits.

Paste is made by washing fruits with berries and berries and seeds, steaming chopped in a state containing seeds, and grinding the steamed product with an electric stone mill to make it fine with fruit and skin. This is a paste containing ground seeds.
The obtained paste can be stored for a long period of time by being sealed in a package such as a vacuum pack, boiled and sterilized, and cooled as in the past.

  Fruits and berries used as raw materials for the paste of the present invention are citrus fruits and berries, and examples of vegetables having seeds include melon, bell pepper, and avocado.

Examples of citrus fruits include Wenzhou mandarin oranges, Ponkan, Kiyomi, Dekopon, Iyokan, orange, lemon, lime, eggplant, sweet summer, Hachiman, Buntan, grapefruit and the like.
The berries are blueberries, raspberries, gooseberries, blackberries, cranberries and the like.

  The paste of the present invention is a paste that uses vegetables having fruits and seeds without any damage. Since the paste contains finely divided seeds, almost 100% of the active ingredients contained in the seeds can be contained in the paste. Moreover, since the seed removal step that has been conventionally required is omitted, the cost can be reduced.

Example 1
Below, the Example of manufacture of the insulator paste to which this invention method is applied is described.
First, the fruit of the coconut is washed to remove the spatula, and the fruit is cut into fine pieces including the seeds with a chopper or a food cutter to make a chopped state.

  This chopped raw material was steamed for 10 to 30 minutes at a temperature of 75 ° C. to less than 100 ° C. using steam convection. By passing through this step, the seed can be softened and finely ground by the pulverizer in the next step, so that a smooth paste without roughness can be obtained.

  As the pulverizer, a known pulverizer that uses a shearing force to make the object to be pulverized fine particles can be used. The raw material is made fine by making a fine gap of 10 μm to 50 μm and passing the raw material through the fine gap by relatively high speed rotation of 1000 rpm to 2000 rpm, and applying impact force or shearing force.

  The grinding machine is a supermass colloider (trade name: manufactured by Masuyuki Sangyo Co., Ltd.), a glow mill (trade name: manufactured by Glow Engineering Co., Ltd.) known as a grinding machine applying the principle of a stone mortar, and a combination of a truncated cone-shaped rotor and stator. Thus, there is a colloid mill in which the rotor rotates at high speed inside the stator and is refined by repeatedly applying shear, compression, and impact to the workpiece in a ring-shaped gap between the rotor and the stator.

In this example, a Glow Engineering millstone mill (trade name: Glow Mill) was used.
This apparatus can freely set the size of the obtained fine particles by adjusting the distance between the upper and lower grindstones, and can be adjusted in units of 5 μm.

The steamed chopped coconut is stirred and cooled with a stirrer until the temperature drops to around 50 ° C.
Next, the material to be treated is put into a stone mill and then ground to obtain a paste. In the first grinding, the distance between the millstones is set to about 50 μm, the millstone is rotated at 1400 rpm and ground for 15 minutes to make seeds, skin, and fungi into fine particles. Got.

The obtained paste was further set to a distance of 20 μm between the stone mills and narrower than the initial stone mill, and the object to be treated was put into the stone again, ground at 1300 rpm for 15 minutes, and the eggplant containing smooth seeds. A paste was obtained.
The outer shell of the seeds is finely ground with a stone mill to form fine particles, and it is a smooth paste with no roughness even with hands.
Also, when the paste was licked, no roughness was felt.

  The skin of the fruit, the carrot (wad), and the seeds are all made into fine particles, and the seeds that are usually not used for food, but removed and discarded are contained in the paste as fine particles. The active ingredient contained in is almost contained in the paste.

In the examples, coconut was described as an example, but citrus fruits such as Wenzhou oranges, Ponkan, Kiyomi, Dekopon, Iyokan, orange, lemon, lime, sweet summer, Hachiman, Bundan, grapefruit, and berries are also used as raw materials. Needless to say, a smooth paste containing seeds can be obtained.
The same applies to melon, avocado and bell pepper, which are seeded vegetables.
