It is a figure which shows the external appearance of the oral molded object which concerns on embodiment of this invention. It is a flowchart which shows the whole process of the oral molded object manufacturing method which concerns on embodiment of this invention. It is a detailed flowchart of a beeswax removal process shown in FIG. It is explanatory drawing of a beeswax removal process shown in FIG.

  Hereinafter, an oral molded body manufacturing method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

  First, with reference to FIG. 1, the oral molded object which concerns on embodiment of this invention is demonstrated. FIG. 1 is a view showing an appearance of an oral molded body 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Here, the oral molded body 100 is a pill molded into a spherical shape. The oral molded body 100 is a molded body in which the powder 2 is kneaded with honey 1 as a binder in a kneading step S3 described later.

  In this embodiment, the case where the raw material of the powder 2 shown in FIG. 1 is cinnamon will be described. In addition, the raw material of the powder 2 is not limited to cinnamon, and may be another plant or a part of an animal (for example, an organ, a nail, a fish cage). Moreover, the form which mixes the powder of several raw materials may be sufficient.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, the honey 1 is the honey from which the beeswax 5 was removed from the commercially available general honey 4 in the beeswax removing step S2 described later.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 2, the whole process of the oral molded object manufacturing method which concerns on embodiment of this invention is demonstrated. FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the entire process of the method for producing an oral molded body according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  First, cinnamon is put into a pulverizer to form powder 2 (pulverization step S1). On the other hand, the beeswax 5 contained in the honey 4 is removed from the honey 4 (beeswax removal step S2). The beeswax removing step S2 will be described later with reference to FIGS. The honey 4 used in the beeswax removing step S2 is a commercially available general honey and includes the beeswax 5.

  Next, the powder 2 produced in the pulverization step S1 and the honey 1 from which the beeswax 5 has been removed in the beeswax removal step S2 (that is, honey 1 in which the content of beeswax 5 has been reduced) are charged into a kneader. Are kneaded to form an oral molded body (kneading step S3). As a kneading machine, for example, a Kazuwa mixer (kneader) LDS-750 type manufactured by Koike Tekko Co., Ltd. is used.

  In the present embodiment, the case where the oral molded body is formed in the kneading step S3 is described. However, after the kneading step S3, the step of adjusting the shape of the oral molded body, and the step of coating the surface of the oral molded body The form containing at least one of these may be sufficient.

  Here, the kneading step S3 will be described. In the kneading step S3, the honey 1 from which the beeswax 5 has been removed in the beeswax removing step S2 and the powder 2 are kneaded at a temperature T1 (for example, 40 ° C.) higher than normal temperature. Specifically, for example, as will be described later with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4, since the honey 4 is heated in the beeswax removing step S <b> 2 until it boils, the honey from which the beeswax 5 is removed during the cooling. When 1 reaches a temperature T1 (for example, 40 ° C.) higher than room temperature, the honey 1 and the powder 2 are kneaded.

  Thus, since the honey 1 and the powder 2 from which the beeswax 5 has been removed in the beeswax removing step S2 are kneaded at a temperature T1 (for example, 40 ° C.) higher than normal temperature, the powder is added without adding water. Can be kneaded and molded (eg, spheroidized).

  That is, since kneading is performed at a temperature T1 (for example, 40 ° C.) higher than normal temperature, the viscosity of the honey 1 from which the beeswax 5 has been removed in the beeswax removing step S2 can be kneaded with the powder 2. . Therefore, a large amount of the powder 2 can be kneaded and molded (for example, spheroidized) without adding water.

  Moreover, since the powder 2 can be kneaded and molded (for example, spheroidized) without adding water, the formed oral molded body 100 is difficult for bacteria to grow and the quality deteriorates due to oxidation. Is unlikely to occur.

  Furthermore, since the powder 2 can be kneaded and molded (eg, spheroidized) without adding water, the step of drying the molded oral molded body can be omitted after the kneading step S3. .

  In the present embodiment, in the beeswax removing step S2, the honey 4 is heated until it boils, and when the temperature reaches a temperature T1 (for example, 40 ° C.) higher than room temperature during the cooling, the honey 1 and the powder 2 However, when the honey 1 from which the beeswax 5 has been removed is cooled to room temperature, the honey 1 from which the beeswax 5 has been removed in the beeswax removal step S2 and the powder 2 are obtained by various methods. A form in which the temperature is maintained at a temperature T1 (for example, 40 ° C.) higher than normal temperature may be used.

  For example, in the kneader, the beeswax removing step is performed by maintaining the wall surface of the container 3 in which the honey 1 and the powder 2 from which the beeswax 5 has been kneaded is maintained at a temperature T2 (for example, 45 ° C.) higher than normal temperature. The form which hold | maintains the honey 1 and the powder 2 from which the beeswax 5 was removed by S2 at temperature T1 (for example, 40 degreeC) higher than normal temperature may be sufficient. Further, for example, the form in which the atmospheric temperature of the room in which the kneader for performing the kneading step S3 is installed may be maintained at a temperature T3 (for example, 45 ° C.) higher than the normal temperature.

  Next, the beeswax removing step S2 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 3 is a detailed flowchart of the beeswax removing step S2 shown in FIG. FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram of the beeswax removing step S2 shown in FIG. First, the honey 4 is heated (step S21). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4 (a), by pouring honey 4 into the container 3, burning natural gas, city gas, gasoline, alcohol, etc., and heating the lower surface of the container 3, Heat honey 4.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the honey 4 is boiling (step S22). Here, the determination of whether or not the honey 4 is boiling is performed based on, for example, the temperature of the honey 4 in the container 3. Specifically, when the temperature of the honey 4 is equal to or higher than a preset temperature T0 (for example, the boiling point of the honey 4), it is determined that the honey 4 is boiling. Moreover, when the bubble begins to come out from the honey 4 by visual observation, it may be determined that the honey 4 is boiling.

  If NO in step S22, the process returns to step S21. If YES in step S22, the process proceeds to step S23. Then, it is determined whether or not the beeswax 5 has been lifted and separated (step S23). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4 (b), the beeswax 5 floats in the container 3, and the honey 4 is separated into the beeswax 5 and the honey 1 from which the beeswax 5 has been removed. In addition, the determination as to whether or not the beeswax 5 and the honey 1 from which the beeswax 5 has been removed is made based on, for example, the elapsed time since the start of boiling. That is, when the elapsed time from the start of boiling is equal to or greater than the threshold time TS set according to the amount (or mass) of the honey 4 in the container 3, the beeswax 5 and the beeswax 5 are removed. It is determined that it is separated into 1.

  If NO in step S23, the process returns to step S21. If YES in step S23, the process proceeds to step S24. And the heating of the honey 4 is stopped (step S24). Next, the beeswax 5 that has floated in the container 3 is removed (step S25), and the process ends. Specifically, for example, the beeswax 5 floating in the container 3 is mechanically removed (for example, scooped out) from above. And as shown in FIG.4 (c), the honey 1 from which the beeswax 5 was removed remains in the container 3, and this honey 1 is used for kneading | mixing process S3.

  Although the case where the beeswax 5 floating in the container 3 is mechanically removed from above (for example, scooping up) has been described here, the beeswax 5 may be removed by other methods. For example, a hole may be formed in the lower end position of the side wall of the container 3 that is in contact with the beeswax 5 in FIG. 4B, and the beeswax 5 may be extracted through the hole.

  In this way, by boiling the honey 4, the beeswax 5 is floated on top of the honey 4, so that the beeswax 5 can be easily separated from the honey 4. Further, since the beeswax 5 is separated from the honey 4, the beeswax 5 contained in the honey 4 can be easily removed.

  In the present embodiment, the case where the beeswax 5 is separated from the honey 4 by boiling the honey 4 has been described, but the beeswax 5 may be separated from the honey 4 by other methods. For example, the beeswax 5 may be separated from the honey 4 based on the difference in specific gravity between the beeswax 5 and the honey 4. Specifically, the beeswax 5 may be separated from the honey 4 using a centrifuge.

  The embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the drawings (FIGS. 1 to 4). However, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be implemented in various modes without departing from the gist thereof.

  In addition, in order to make it easy to understand, the drawings schematically show each component as a main component. Accordingly, the thickness, length, and the like of each illustrated component are different from actual ones for the convenience of drawing.

  According to the method for producing an oral molded body according to the present invention, a large amount of powder can be kneaded and molded (for example, spheroidized) without adding water. In addition, the oral molded body according to the present invention is less prone to bacterial growth and is less susceptible to quality degradation due to oxidation.
