It is adjusted so as to be mixed with salts (such as sodium chloride or commercially available salt) that can be used. In addition, a small amount of a coagulant such as calcium chloride is also added to the sodium alginate solution in the tank 1.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 1, a sodium alginate solution (a sodium alginate solution to which a predetermined amount of a salt capable of becoming a salt and a small amount of a coagulant was added as described above) in the tank 1 was quantified. The fixed amount is sent to the supply device 2. The quantitative supply device 2 discharges and supplies the sodium alginate solution sent from the tank 1 to the sphere forming device 3, for example, in a single drop of 0.04 to 1.2 cc. That is, the sodium alginate solution is supplied drop by drop from the quantitative supply device 2 to the sphere forming device 3, and the drop is dropped into the aqueous calcium chloride solution in the container provided in the sphere forming device 3. You.

  Each of the drops of sodium alginate dropped into the aqueous solution of calcium chloride in the container provided in the spherical forming device 3 is naturally formed into a substantially spherical body in the aqueous solution of calcium chloride in the container and solidified. . That is, each drop of the sodium alginate solution supplied from the quantitative supply device 2 is placed in the container of the calcium chloride aqueous solution of the sphere forming device 3 in, for example, about one minute to several hours, as shown in FIGS. It is formed into a substantially spherical body 11 as shown in b) and solidified. The diameter of each of the plurality of substantially spherical bodies 11 formed and solidified in this way is, for example, 3 to 10 mm.

  A large number of substantially spherical bodies 11 formed in the spherical forming device 3 are supplied to the rice grain forming device 4, for example, one by one. The rice grain forming device 4 converts each substantially spherical body 11 from the spherical forming device 3 into a substantially elliptical shape in a side view as shown in FIGS. The rice grains 12 are deformed and processed. 4 is, for example, 4 to 15 mm, and the vertical length is, for example, 2 to 5 mm. Such deformation and processing of the substantially spherical body 11 into the rice grain body 12 having a substantially elliptical shape in the side view can be performed, for example, by applying pressure to the substantially spherical body 11.

  Next, FIG. 2 shows that the rice grain forming apparatus 4 forms and processes the substantially spherical body 11 into a substantially oval rice grain body 12 as shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B. FIG. 4 is a schematic view showing an example of a method of applying pressure to the substantially spherical body 11 for this purpose. In the present embodiment, a pipe (tube) 21 as shown in FIG. 2 is provided in the rice grain forming device 4. The pipe 21 is made of, for example, a metal such as stainless steel or plastic, and has a total length of several tens of cm to several tens of meters, preferably several meters.

  In FIG. 2, reference numeral 21a denotes an inlet portion where the substantially spherical body 11 is sent into the pipe 21, and 21b denotes a substantially tapered portion formed while the substantially spherical body 11 moves through the pipe 21 (the substantially spherical portion). The portion where the inner diameter gradually decreases in the moving direction of the body 11), and 21c is an outlet portion where the substantially spherical body 11 is discharged from the inside of the pipe 21 to the outside. The inlet portion 21a and its vicinity are formed to have a relatively large inner diameter of, for example, 5 to 15 mm. The outlet portion 21c and its vicinity are formed to have a relatively small inner diameter of, for example, 2 to 5 mm. As shown in the drawing, the substantially tapered portion 21b is formed in a substantially tapered shape in which the inner diameter gradually decreases from the entrance portion 21a or its vicinity to the exit portion 21c or its vicinity.

  The substantially spherical body 11 is inserted into the pipe 21 from the inlet 21a and moved to the outlet 21c, and passes through the substantially tapered portion 21b. Is formed and processed into a substantially elliptical shape. The insertion of the substantially spherical body 11 into the pipe 21 and the movement in the pipe 21 are performed by, for example, a suction device (not shown) that sucks the substantially spherical body 11 in the moving direction.

  In addition, regarding the insertion speed of the substantially spherical body 11 into the pipe 21 and the moving speed in the pipe 21, a fluid such as water used for moving the substantially spherical body 11 in the pipe 21 is used. By adjusting the flow rate and flow rate of the suction device, the suction force of the suction device, the pressure in the pipe 21, and the like, the moving speed at which the substantially spherical body 11 easily deforms into a desired substantially elliptical shape in side view is adjusted. Are adjusted and changed as appropriate.

  Next, the present inventors asked the five monitors to eat “white rice (Oita Koshihikari, sold by Oita Prefectural Rice Wholesaler Co., Ltd.) 100% cooked rice” and then “simulated rice according to the present embodiment”. A simulated cooked rice using 100% rice was eaten, and a sensory test was conducted to compare "taste, texture and smell" with "100% white rice". Table 1 below shows the results of this sensory test.

  According to Table 1, there were some impressions that the taste of "simulated cooked rice composed of 100% of simulated rice" is not delicious because it does not taste as compared with cooked rice composed of 100% of polished rice. There is no taste, but there is no particular discomfort, it is easy to match anything (any kind of dish) because there is no taste. " Also, regarding the texture, there were quite a few impressions that "there was a bubble wrap", but there was no impression that it was difficult to eat or the texture was bad, but rather "there was a bubble wrap but a good texture." There were many positive impressions. Moreover, there was no smell and it was odorless.

  As described above, based on the results of the sensory test shown in Table 1, as a result of comparing the “simulated cooked rice composed of 100% pseudo rice” in the present embodiment with the “rice cooked of 100% white rice”, the taste is weak or the texture is pre-prepared. Even if there is a "slight difference" in terms of, for example, there is almost no difference in at least "which is easier to eat in terms of texture, taste and smell", that is, the "taste, texture and smell" Found that many monitors felt that they were as easy to eat (just as good) as regular white rice and suitable for eating.

  Thereafter, the present inventors further asked a total of eight monitors, including the five, to eat 100% of cooked rice, followed by "Using 50% of pseudo rice and 50% of white rice according to the present embodiment." The simulated semi-cooked rice was eaten, and a sensory test was conducted to compare "taste, texture and smell" with "rice cooked from 100% white rice". Table 2 below shows the results of the sensory test.

  According to Table 2, some of the tastes of "semi-simulated cooked rice using 50% of simulated rice and 50% of polished rice" were "not sweetened like cooked rice composed of 100% of polished rice". However, there were many impressions that "there was no particular discomfort." Also, regarding the texture, there were quite a few impressions that "there was a bubble wrap", but there was no impression that it was difficult to eat or the texture was bad, but rather positive impressions such as "there was a bubble wrap and interesting" There were many. Moreover, there was no smell and it was odorless.

  As described above, based on the results of the sensory tests shown in Table 2, the “semi-simulated cooked rice using 50% pseudo rice and 50% white rice” in the present embodiment was compared with “rice cooked from 100% white rice”, and the taste was light. Or even if there is a `` slight difference '' in the point that the texture is bubble-wrapped, there is almost no advantage in terms of at least which is easier to eat in terms of texture, taste, smell, etc. In "taste, texture and smell", it was found that many people felt that it was as easy to eat (with no inferiority) as normal white rice and suitable for eating.

  Therefore, from the results of the sensory tests shown in Tables 1 and 2, the simulated rice of the present embodiment is easy to eat (with no inferiority) in terms of “taste, texture, and smell” to normal white rice, and is suitable for meals. It turned out to be something.

  As described above, the artificial rice according to this embodiment contains at least 80% by weight or more (more preferably at least 90% by weight or more) of alginic acid which is a vegetable fiber containing no calories as a main component. Therefore, a new low-calorie staple food that can respond to the need for prevention of obesity, and a new staple food that can appropriately respond to needs such as improving the intestinal environment such as improving constipation, Be able to provide.

  And since such a pseudo rice is formed in the shape of rice grain of substantially elliptical shape in side view as mentioned above, it is the same as normal white rice in "shape and size". From the results of the sensory test, it was found that the “flavor, texture and smell” were as easy to eat (with no inferiority) as ordinary white rice and suitable for eating. Therefore, by using the artificial rice according to the present embodiment, for example, depending on the consumer's preference, about 100% of the artificial rice is used as a staple food, and the artificial rice and white rice are mixed at about 50% each. By eating a staple food or a mixture of 30% of the simulated rice and 70% of white rice as a staple food, there is a need for prevention of obesity and improvement of intestinal environment, etc., which many people have ever desired for a staple food. Low-calorie simulated rice, which has the same taste and texture as conventional staple foods only when rice is used as a staple food (the mixing ratio of this simulated rice and white rice varies as described above) A new staple food having a function of preventing obesity and a function of improving the intestinal environment can be newly provided.

  In addition, the artificial rice having the function of preventing obesity and the function of improving the intestinal environment according to the present embodiment contains sodium alginate as a main component at least 80% by weight or more (more preferably at least 90% by weight). Thus, it is possible to provide a pseudo rice having a viscosity of water-soluble plant fiber and an inhibitory effect of a disaccharide degrading enzyme on sodium alginate, which also has a function of suppressing an increase in blood sugar level, and a novel staple food comprising such pseudo rice.

  In the present embodiment, the sodium alginate solution is dropped into the aqueous calcium chloride solution drop by drop to form a substantially spherical body 11 of alginic acids. Thereafter, the substantially spherical body 11 is formed into a substantially elliptical rice grain in a side view. Since the shape-like body 12 is deformed and processed, it is not necessary to go through a molding step using an expensive mold or the like. As a result, the pseudo rice can be manufactured at extremely low cost.

  Further, in the present embodiment, after forming the substantially spherical body 11 from the sodium alginate solution, the substantially spherical body 11 is passed through a pipe 21 having an inner diameter smaller than the diameter thereof for 1 to 20 m, whereby the substantially spherical body 11 is formed. Since 11 is deformed and processed into rice granules 12 having a size and shape similar to substantially elliptical rice in side view, it is not necessary to go through a molding step using an expensive mold or the like. As a result, the artificial rice can be manufactured at extremely low cost.

  Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications and changes can be made. For example, in the above embodiment, a substantially spherical body is formed from a sodium alginate solution, which is a kind of alginate, to form rice granules.However, the present invention forms a substantially spherical body from a solution of alginic acids. This includes forming rice granules (pseudo rice), for example, using a solution of potassium alginate which is a kind of the same alginate, or using not only alginate but also alginic acid, alginic acid ester, etc. It is also possible to use solutions of Further, in the above-described embodiment, as an example of a method of forming and processing the substantially spherical body 11 into a rice grain body 12 having a substantially elliptical shape in side view as shown in FIGS. The method of applying pressure to the substantially spherical body 11 by passing the substantially spherical body 11 as shown in FIG. 2 through a pipe 21 having an inner diameter smaller than its diameter by 1 to 20 m has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. It goes without saying that various pressure applying methods can be used.
