Abstract
Description
本発明は、植物活性化剤及び肥料組成物、並びに植物生育方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a plant activator and fertilizer composition, and a plant growth method.
従来より、カルシウム源や多孔質体として卵殻を配合した肥料が広く知られている。例えば、特許文献１には家畜排泄物等に乾燥卵殻を混合した熟成させた粒状化肥料が報告されている。また、特許文献２には卵殻と米糠の混合物をペレット状に加工した肥料が開示されている。また、特許文献３には、食酢もろみ粕と卵殻と珪藻土を含む肥料が開示されている。 Conventionally, fertilizers containing eggshell as a calcium source or a porous body have been widely known. For example, Patent Document 1 reports an aged granulated fertilizer in which dried eggshell is mixed with livestock excrement or the like. Further, Patent Document 2 discloses a fertilizer obtained by processing a mixture of eggshell and rice bran into pellets. Further, Patent Document 3 discloses a fertilizer containing vinegar mash lees, eggshell and diatomaceous earth.
卵殻は、糖蛋白質からなる卵殻膜や卵白を含み、これらが腐敗して悪臭を発生させるため、通常、卵殻に付着したタンパク質成分（卵殻膜や卵白）は除去して使用されている。例えば、特許文献４には、卵殻内から卵白を洗浄除去したのちに、卵殻膜付の卵殻を炭酸水溶液に浸漬して卵殻から卵殻膜を分離し夫々を回収する卵殻と卵殻膜との分離回収方法が報告されている。回収した卵殻は肥料等の原料とされ、卵殻膜は例えば、化粧料等の原料等として利用されている。 Eggshells contain glycoproteins such as eggshell membranes and egg whites, which spoil and generate a foul odor. Therefore, protein components (egg shell membranes and egg whites) attached to the eggshells are usually removed before use. For example, in Patent Document 4, after washing and removing the egg white from the eggshell, the eggshell with the eggshell membrane is immersed in a carbonated aqueous solution to separate the eggshell membrane from the eggshell, and the eggshell membrane and the eggshell membrane are recovered separately. The method has been reported. The recovered eggshell is used as a raw material for fertilizers and the like, and the eggshell membrane is used as a raw material for cosmetics and the like, for example.
上記の通り、卵殻を配合した肥料が広く知られているが、卵殻膜は、肥料としてほとんど使用されていない。その理由の一つとして、卵殻膜は比較的分解されにくい蛋白質であり、そのままの状態では土壌にいれても生分解されにくいことが挙げられる。また、卵白や卵黄においても、肥料として利用することは一般的に行われていない。 As mentioned above, fertilizers containing eggshells are widely known, but eggshell membranes are rarely used as fertilizers. One of the reasons is that eggshell membrane is a protein that is relatively hard to be decomposed, and it is hard to be biodegraded even if it is put in soil as it is. Also, egg white and yolk are not generally used as fertilizers.
かかる状況下、本発明の目的は、卵由来成分を原料とした植物生長促進剤及びこれを配合した肥料組成物、並びにこれらを使用した植物生育方法を提供することである。 Under such circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide a plant growth promoter using an egg-derived component as a raw material, a fertilizer composition containing the same, and a plant growth method using these.
本発明者は、上記課題を解決すべく鋭意研究を重ねた結果、卵由来成分の加水分解物が植物の生長を促進させる作用があることを見出し、本発明に至った。 As a result of diligent research to solve the above problems, the present inventor has found that the hydrolyzate of the egg-derived component has an effect of promoting the growth of plants, and has reached the present invention.

本明細書において「卵殻膜加水分解物」は、卵殻膜に含まれる成分の加水分解物を意味する。卵殻膜は鳥類（特には鶏）の卵殻の内側にある繊維質の薄膜であり、外卵殻膜及び内卵殻膜の二層の網目状構造からなる。卵殻膜の水分を除く主成分はタンパク質であるが、その他にも脂質や糖質等を含む。なお、卵殻膜のタンパク質は約２０種類のアミノ酸で構成され、特にシスチンを多く含む。卵殻膜はさらにコラーゲンとヒアルロン酸を含むという特徴がある。本発明に係る卵殻膜加水分解物は、主成分であるタンパク質の加水分解物のみならず、タンパク質以外の成分の加水分解物も含む場合がある。また、卵殻から卵殻膜を分離する際に卵殻由来のカルシウム成分を含むことがある。 As used herein, the term "egg shell membrane hydrolyzate" means a hydrolyzate of a component contained in the eggshell membrane. The eggshell membrane is a fibrous thin film inside the eggshell of birds (particularly chickens) and consists of a two-layered network of outer and inner eggshell membranes. The main component of eggshell membranes excluding water is protein, but it also contains lipids and sugars. The protein in the eggshell membrane is composed of about 20 kinds of amino acids, and particularly contains a large amount of cystine. The eggshell membrane is also characterized by containing collagen and hyaluronic acid. The eggshell membrane hydrolyzate according to the present invention may contain not only a hydrolyzate of a protein as a main component but also a hydrolyzate of a component other than the protein.

Egg yolk is a nutrient stored in the egg cells contained in the egg white of birds (particularly chickens). Egg yolk is mainly composed of lipids (neutral lipids, phospholipids and cholesterol), and also contains proteins and sugars. The egg yolk hydrolyzate according to the present invention may contain not only a hydrolyzate of a lipid as a main component but also a hydrolyzate of a component other than a protein.
加水分解処理に供される卵殻膜、卵白、卵黄の形態は、特に限定されず、例えば、乾燥状態や湿潤状態のものを使用できる The morphology of the eggshell membrane, egg white, and yolk to be subjected to the hydrolysis treatment is not particularly limited, and for example, those in a dry state or a wet state can be used.
本発明の植物活性化剤は、卵由来加水分解物を有効成分として含有する。本発明に係る卵由来加水分解物は、対象となる植物が吸収できる程度に卵由来成分が加水分解されて入ればよくその分子量には制限はないが、水に可溶化するものが好ましい。なお、本明細書において、「水に可溶化する」とは、卵由来加水分解物が溶解している状態だけでなく、自然沈降せずに分散している状態を含むものとする。 The plant activator of the present invention contains an egg-derived hydrolyzate as an active ingredient. The egg-derived hydrolyzate according to the present invention is not limited in its molecular weight as long as the egg-derived component is hydrolyzed to the extent that it can be absorbed by the target plant, but it is preferably solubilized in water. In addition, in this specification, "solubilizes in water" includes not only a state in which an egg-derived hydrolyzate is dissolved but also a state in which an egg-derived hydrolyzate is dispersed without spontaneous sedimentation.
本発明の植物活性化剤は、有効成分として、卵由来加水分解物として、卵殻膜加水分解物、卵白加水分解物及び卵黄加水分解物を任意の割合で含有することができ、施用対象となる植物の種類等の条件に応じて適宜選択することができる。 The plant activator of the present invention can contain an eggshell membrane hydrolyzate, an egg white hydrolyzate and an egg yolk hydrolyzate as an active ingredient as an egg-derived hydrolyzate in an arbitrary ratio, and is an object of application. It can be appropriately selected according to conditions such as the type of plant.
卵由来加水分解物は、様々な分子量の成分を含んでいてもよいが、用途に応じて、所望の分子量分布に調整してもよい。例えば、非水溶性の卵由来加水分解物を得たのちに、さらなる加水分解によって低分子化して水に可溶化したり、遠心分離や分離膜等を使用して所望の分子量のものを回収したりして使用してもよい。 The egg-derived hydrolyzate may contain components having various molecular weights, but may be adjusted to a desired molecular weight distribution depending on the intended use. For example, after obtaining a water-insoluble egg-derived hydrolyzate, the molecular weight is reduced by further hydrolysis and solubilized in water, or a product having a desired molecular weight is recovered by centrifugation or a separation membrane. You may use it.
また、卵由来加水分解物は、重量平均分子量の上限及び下限は、使用目的に応じた安全面等を考慮して、適宜決定すればよい。なお、重量平均分子量は、サイズ排除クロマトグラフィーで得られる分子量分布から求めることができる。 Further, the upper limit and the lower limit of the weight average molecular weight of the egg-derived hydrolyzate may be appropriately determined in consideration of safety and the like according to the purpose of use. The weight average molecular weight can be obtained from the molecular weight distribution obtained by size exclusion chromatography.
本発明の植物活性化剤には、卵由来加水分解物として、卵殻膜加水分解物を含有することが好ましい。卵殻膜のタンパク質は、上述の通り、約２０種類のアミノ酸で構成され、特にシスチンを多く含み、その加水分解物は優れた植物活性化作用を有する。また、卵殻膜加水分解物は化粧品等の原料としても使用される成分であるため、本発明の植物活性化剤が皮膚に付着した場合に皮膚を保護する作用が期待される。
このような卵殻膜加水分解物に由来する作用を得るためには、卵殻膜加水分解物の割合は、卵由来加水分解物１００重量％としたときに、１０重量％以上であり、好ましくは３０重量％以上であり、より好ましくは５０重量％以上であり、さらに好ましくは８０重量％以上である。また、卵由来加水分解物が卵殻膜加水分解物のみ（１００重量％）であってもよい。
The plant activator of the present invention preferably contains an eggshell membrane hydrolyzate as an egg-derived hydrolyzate. As described above, the protein of eggshell membrane is composed of about 20 kinds of amino acids, and particularly contains a large amount of cystine, and its hydrolyzate has an excellent plant activating effect. Further, since the eggshell membrane hydrolyzate is a component that is also used as a raw material for cosmetics and the like, it is expected to have an action of protecting the skin when the plant activator of the present invention adheres to the skin.
In order to obtain the action derived from the eggshell membrane hydrolyzate, the ratio of the eggshell membrane hydrolyzate is 10% by weight or more, preferably 30% by weight, assuming that the egg-derived hydrolyzate is 100% by weight. By weight% or more, more preferably 50% by weight or more, still more preferably 80% by weight or more. Further, the egg-derived hydrolyzate may be only the eggshell membrane hydrolyzate (100% by weight).
一方、卵殻膜加水分解物の割合が多くなりすぎると流動性が低下する場合がある。そのため、流動性を高める点では、卵由来加水分解物は、卵殻膜加水分解物と卵白加水分解物の混合物であることが好ましい。その配合割合は、卵殻膜加水分解物と卵白加水分解物の合計を１００重量％としたときに、卵白加水分解物が１０重量％～５０重量％である。 On the other hand, if the proportion of eggshell membrane hydrolyzate is too high, the fluidity may decrease. Therefore, from the viewpoint of increasing the fluidity, the egg-derived hydrolyzate is preferably a mixture of the eggshell membrane hydrolyzate and the egg white hydrolyzate. The mixing ratio is 10% by weight to 50% by weight of the egg white hydrolyzate when the total of the eggshell membrane hydrolyzate and the egg white hydrolyzate is 100% by weight.
本発明の植物活性化剤は、通常、液状組成物（卵由来加水分解物が可溶化した状態）として施用されるが、溶媒を留去させて固体組成物として施用することもできる。固体組成物の場合は、卵由来加水分解物を乾燥させて粉末や顆粒などの形状として施用することができる。
なお、本明細書において、「液状」とは、常温（１０～２５℃、以下同様）において、組成物が固化しておらず、流動性のある状態を意味する。
The plant activator of the present invention is usually applied as a liquid composition (a state in which an egg-derived hydrolyzate is solubilized), but it can also be applied as a solid composition by distilling off a solvent. In the case of a solid composition, the egg-derived hydrolyzate can be dried and applied in the form of powder or granules.
In the present specification, "liquid" means a state in which the composition is not solidified and has fluidity at room temperature (10 to 25 ° C., the same applies hereinafter).

Further, even when aggregation or precipitation occurs, the plant activator of the present invention can be applied as a liquid composition by stirring the mixture again.
溶媒としては、通常、水のみが用いられるが、卵由来加水分解物の溶解や分散を阻害せず、施用対象となる植物に悪影響を及ぼさない範囲で水に相溶性の溶媒であれば、水に混合して用いることもできる。溶媒における水の割合は、８０重量％以上（１００重量％含む）である。水以外の溶媒としては、エタノールなど低級アルコールが挙げられる。 Normally, only water is used as the solvent, but water is used as long as it is a solvent compatible with water as long as it does not inhibit the dissolution or dispersion of the hydrolyzate derived from eggs and does not adversely affect the plant to be applied. It can also be mixed with and used. The proportion of water in the solvent is 80% by weight or more (including 100% by weight). Examples of the solvent other than water include lower alcohols such as ethanol.
また、卵由来加水分解物の溶解や分散を阻害せず、施用対象となる植物に悪影響を及ぼさないものであれば、本発明の植物活性化剤は、溶媒以外にも任意の成分を含んでいてもよい。このような成分として、例えば、公知の分散剤、ｐＨ調整剤等が挙げられる。 In addition, the plant activator of the present invention contains any component other than the solvent as long as it does not inhibit the dissolution or dispersion of the egg-derived hydrolyzate and does not adversely affect the plant to be applied. You may. Examples of such a component include known dispersants, pH adjusters and the like.
本発明の植物活性化剤における卵由来加水分解物の含有割合は、施用対象となる植物の種類等の条件に応じて適宜決定される。液状とした場合は、卵由来加水分解物は植物活性化剤に対して、例えば、０．０１重量％以上３０重量％以下である。なお、濃度は対象植物の種類や施用方法に応じて適宜変更可能である。
本発明の植物活性化剤が卵由来加水分解物を高濃度で含有する場合には、溶媒（通常、水）で希釈して使用してもよい。また、卵由来加水分解物が固形物（乾燥物）の場合には、使用直前に溶媒に添加して溶解・分散させて液状組成物として使用することもできる。
The content ratio of the egg-derived hydrolyzate in the plant activator of the present invention is appropriately determined according to the conditions such as the type of the plant to be applied. When liquid, the egg-derived hydrolyzate is, for example, 0.01% by weight or more and 30% by weight or less with respect to the plant activator. The concentration can be appropriately changed according to the type of the target plant and the application method.
When the plant activator of the present invention contains an egg-derived hydrolyzate in a high concentration, it may be diluted with a solvent (usually water) before use. When the egg-derived hydrolyzate is a solid (dried product), it can be added to a solvent immediately before use to dissolve and disperse it, and used as a liquid composition.
本発明の植物活性化剤の形態は、固体状、粉末状、粒状、液状などが挙げられ、用途に応じて適宜選択すればよい。
例えば、散布のしやすさからは、液状の植物活性化剤が好適に使用される。液状の植物活性化剤の場合、固形分（卵由来加水分解物）の濃度は、散布がスムーズに行われる粘度であればよい。
The form of the plant activator of the present invention may be solid, powdery, granular, liquid or the like, and may be appropriately selected depending on the intended use.
For example, a liquid plant activator is preferably used because of its ease of spraying. In the case of a liquid plant activator, the concentration of the solid content (egg-derived hydrolyzate) may be a viscosity at which spraying can be smoothly performed.
本発明に係る卵由来加水分解物は、原料である卵殻膜、卵白、卵黄を、酸、アルカリ、酵素等によって加水分解することによって得ることができる。また、卵殻膜、卵白及び卵黄を同一の加水分解方法で処理してもよいし、異なる加水分解方法で処理してもよい。 The egg-derived hydrolyzate according to the present invention can be obtained by hydrolyzing the raw materials, eggshell membrane, egg white, and egg yolk, with an acid, an alkali, an enzyme, or the like. Further, the eggshell membrane, egg white and yolk may be treated by the same hydrolysis method or may be treated by different hydrolysis methods.
この中でも、卵由来加水分解物が、酵素を利用した酵素法由来の加水分解物であることが好ましい。
酵素法では、アルカリ性プロテアーゼ、酸性プロテアーゼのいずれも使用することができる。アルカリ性プロテアーゼは、アルカリ性条件下で、卵由来タンパク質を可溶化できる程度に加水分解できるものであればよい。アルカリ性プロテアーゼは市販品を用いることができ、例えば、ナガセケムテックス株式会社のビオプラーゼシリーズ等が挙げられる。
Among these, the egg-derived hydrolyzate is preferably a hydrolyzate derived from an enzymatic method using an enzyme.
In the enzymatic method, either alkaline protease or acidic protease can be used. The alkaline protease may be one that can hydrolyze the egg-derived protein to the extent that it can be solubilized under alkaline conditions. Commercially available products can be used as the alkaline protease, and examples thereof include the bioprese series of Nagase ChemteX Corporation.
酸性プロテアーゼとしては、酸性条件下で、卵由来タンパク質を可溶化できる程度に加水分解できるものであればよい。酸性プロテアーゼとしては麹由来の酸性プロテアーゼが好適な一例である。なお、麹由来のプロテアーゼには、酸性プロテアーゼ以外にアルカリ性プロテアーゼも存在するがこれを利用することもできる。 The acidic protease may be any one that can be hydrolyzed to the extent that the egg-derived protein can be solubilized under acidic conditions. As the acidic protease, an acidic protease derived from Jiuqu is a suitable example. In addition to acidic proteases, alkaline proteases also exist in the proteases derived from Jiuqu, but these can also be used.
また、麹からプロテアーゼを分離させずに、麹そのものを酵素含有物として利用することもできる。麹は、麹菌を米、麦、大豆等の穀物、その他食品素材に接種して発育させたものである。本発明においては、卵由来タンパク質を分解する酵素を生成する限り、使用する麹菌の種類は特に制限はなく、Ａｓｐｅｒｇｉｌｌｕｓ属、Ｍｕｃｏｒ属、Ｒｈｉｚｏｐｕｓ属、Ｐｅｎｉｃｉｌｌｉｕｍ属、Ｍｏｎａｓｃｕｓ属、Ａｂｓｉｄｉａ属に属する菌が挙げられる。好ましい麹菌の具体例としては、Ａｓｐｅｒｇｉｌｌｕｓ ａｗａｍｏｒｉ、Ａｓｐｅｒｇｉｌｌｕｓ ｓａｉｔｏｉ、Ａｓｐｅｒｇｉｌｌｕｓ ｓａｉｔｏｉ ｖｅｒ ｋａｇｏｓｈｉｍａｅｎｓｉｓ、Ａｓｐｅｒｇｉｌｌｕｓ ｕｓａｍｉ、Ａｓｐｅｒｇｉｌｌｕｓ ｏｊａｅ、Ａｓｐｅｒｇｉｌｌｕｓ ｏｒｙｚａｅ、Ａｓｐｅｒｇｉｌｌｕｓ ａｗａｍｏｒｉ ｖｅｒ ｋａｗａｃｈｉｉ等が挙げられる。 In addition, the jiuqu itself can be used as an enzyme-containing substance without separating the protease from the jiuqu. Jiuqu is grown by inoculating grains such as rice, wheat and soybeans, and other food materials with Jiuqu.

Examples of the type of organic acid contained in Jiuqu include citric acid, malic acid, and lactic acid. Since the koji contains an organic acid, the number of germs generated can be suppressed and it can be a nutrient for the target plant.
卵由来加水分解物の製造において、原料となる卵殻膜、卵白及び卵黄の割合は任意であり、本発明の植物活性化剤の目的（施用対象となる植物等）に応じて適宜選択することができる。 In the production of an egg-derived hydrolyzate, the ratios of eggshell membrane, egg white and egg yolk as raw materials are arbitrary, and may be appropriately selected according to the purpose of the plant activator of the present invention (plants to be applied, etc.). can.

The Japanese mustard spinach was visually grown 35 days after sowing.
卵殻膜加水分解物を含有する試料３及び６を散布した小松菜の生育観察の結果、葉色は鮮やかな緑色であり、葉の数も多いことが認められた。 As a result of observing the growth of Japanese mustard spinach sprayed with Samples 3 and 6 containing eggshell membrane hydrolysate, it was found that the leaf color was bright green and the number of leaves was large.
試験例７（流動性の評価）
以下の方法で、卵殻膜加水分解物又は卵由来加水分解物を含有する植物活性化剤Ａ、Ｂ及びＣの製造を行った。得られた植物活性化剤（原液）を用いて、溶液の流動性を確認した。
Test Example 7 (evaluation of liquidity)
Plant activators A, B and C containing an eggshell membrane hydrolyzate or an egg-derived hydrolyzate were produced by the following methods. The fluidity of the solution was confirmed using the obtained plant activator (stock solution).
＜植物活性化剤Ａ＞
卵由来加水分解物の製造２において、水１２００ｇに卵殻膜粉末３００ｇを添加して、プロテアーゼ３ｇずつを添加した以外は同様の製造方法で植物活性化剤Ａ（原液）を得た。なお、卵殻膜粉末及び卵白粉末の合計に対する卵白粉末の割合は、０重量％である。
＜植物活性化剤Ｂ＞
植物活性化剤Ａにおいて、卵殻膜粉末２２５ｇ及び乾燥卵白粉末７５ｇを混合した以外は、同様の製造方法で植物活性化剤Ｂ（原液）を得た。なお、卵殻膜粉末及び卵白粉末の合計に対する卵白粉末の割合は、２５重量％である。
＜植物活性化剤Ｃ＞
植物活性化剤Ａにおいて、卵殻膜粉末１５０ｇ及び乾燥卵白粉末１５０ｇを混合した以外は、同様の製造方法で植物活性化剤Ｃ（原液）を得た。なお、卵殻膜粉末及び卵白粉末の合計に対する卵白粉末の割合は、５０重量％である。
<Plant activator A>
In the production 2 of the egg-derived hydrolyzate, a plant activator A (stock solution) was obtained by the same production method except that 300 g of eggshell membrane powder was added to 1200 g of water and 3 g of each protease was added. The ratio of the egg white powder to the total of the eggshell membrane powder and the egg white powder is 0% by weight.
<Plant activator B>
A plant activator B (stock solution) was obtained by the same production method except that 225 g of eggshell membrane powder and 75 g of dried egg white powder were mixed in the plant activator A. The ratio of the egg white powder to the total of the eggshell membrane powder and the egg white powder is 25% by weight.
<Plant activator C>
A plant activator C (stock solution) was obtained by the same production method except that 150 g of eggshell membrane powder and 150 g of dried egg white powder were mixed in the plant activator A. The ratio of the egg white powder to the total of the eggshell membrane powder and the egg white powder is 50% by weight.
得られた植物活性化剤（原液）の流動性を目視にて調査した結果、卵殻膜粉末のみを含む卵殻加水分解物を含有した植物活性化剤Ａに比べると、卵殻膜粉末及び卵白粉末を含む卵由来加水分解物を含有した植物活性化剤Ｂ及びＣの方が、粘性が少なく、流動性が高いことが認められた。流動性の高さは卵白粉末の含有割合に比例していた。
流動性が高くなることで、製造しやすくなり、また、原液を水などの溶媒で希釈しやすくなる。製造時もしくは希釈時の操作性が向上した。
As a result of visually inspecting the fluidity of the obtained plant activator (undiluted solution), the eggshell membrane powder and the egg white powder were found as compared with the plant activator A containing the eggshell hydrolyzate containing only the eggshell membrane powder. It was found that the plant activators B and C containing the egg-derived hydrolyzate contained were less viscous and had higher fluidity. The high fluidity was proportional to the content ratio of the egg white powder.
The higher fluidity makes it easier to produce and also makes it easier to dilute the stock solution with a solvent such as water. Improved operability during manufacturing or dilution.
