DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

[Industrial Application Field] The present invention uses the scientific name "Asparasas
The present invention relates to a health drink and a food additive made from a plant belonging to the conifer family of "Linearis", and a method for producing the same.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Asparasas linealis (hereinafter referred to as asparalinea)
Is a kind of herb that grows only in the highlands above 450m above sea level in the Sedalberg Mountains in South Africa. And this plant has the characteristic that it grows only in harsh natural conditions where the temperature difference between day and night is large in thin and strongly acidic soil,
It is a traditional medicine passed down between South African indigenous peoples since ancient times.

[0003] As a functional component, flavonoids having an SOD-like action having an effect of removing active oxygen are contained in about 100 g.
In addition to 37mg, it contains abundant minerals, so it contains ingredients useful for prevention of adult diseases and skin aging.

[0004] In particular, diseases caused by the disturbing action of reactive oxygen include various inflammations, autoimmune diseases such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, ischemia such as myocardial infarction and cerebral attack.
There are arteriosclerosis, gastric ulcer, acute pancreatitis, diabetes, Alzheimer's dementia and many others. And SOD is an enzyme made in vivo to remove such active oxygen,
Further, asparalinea has been attracting attention as having an action similar to that of SOD, that is, having an SOD-like action.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention provides a health drink which can easily ingest asparalinea having such excellent effects, a powder or a concentrate which is easily processed as a foodstuff or a food additive, and a process for producing the same. It provides a method.

That is, the present invention relates to a health drink and a food additive obtained by extracting asparalinea with hot water, and a concentrated liquid obtained by concentrating the hot water extract.

The method for producing a health drink concentrate according to the present invention is characterized in that baking soda is added to asparalinea, hot water is extracted, and the extract is concentrated under reduced pressure. The production method is to concentrate the extract obtained by mixing asparalinea and dextrin aqueous solution and extracting with hot water by membrane,
Thereafter, it is characterized in that it is made into a powder by spray drying, and another production method is characterized in that a dextrin aqueous solution is mixed with the above-mentioned concentrated solution and then powdered by spray drying.

[0008]

Next, the present invention will be further described with reference to examples.

(Example 1) 0.1% aqueous sodium bicarbonate was added to asparalinea, and hot water extraction was performed at 95 ° C for 1 hour. Thereafter, the mixture was filtered under cooling, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure by adding sodium ascorbate as an antioxidant, and sterilized by heating at 90 ° C. for 10 minutes to obtain a concentrated liquid having a solid content of 25%. (Refer to FIG. 1) This concentrated solution can be used as a health drink after dilution as follows, added to meat dishes, fish dishes, cakes, etc., or used as a bath additive.

Since this concentrated liquid is a concentrated extract about 150 times that of drinking, it was diluted by the method of FIG. 2 to obtain a healthy drink. That is, 10 g of the above concentrated liquid is heated to 95 ° C. in hot water (softened water is preferable).
After dissolving transparently with 750 g, add 740 g of cold water to make the total amount 15
00 g. In addition to this, 0.3 g of sodium ascorbate
(20 mg%), and the mixture was filtered, filled and sterilized to obtain a drink. This drinking drink may be cooled or heated as it is, may be mixed with milk or juice, is also effective for face washing for beauty and eye washing for eye health, and mixed in the bath You may let it.

(Embodiment 2) Next, a method of producing asparalinea powder will be described with reference to FIGS. Method I (FIG. 3) Dextrin was dissolved in water, mixed with asparalinea, extracted by heating and filtered. Next, a concentrated solution is prepared by membrane concentration (RO) which separates from water without applying heat, and powder is formed by spray drying.

Method II (FIG. 4) Dextrin is dissolved in water at 60 ° C., and the concentrate prepared in Example 1 is added thereto, mixed, and sterilized by heating at 90 ° C. for 15 minutes and cooled. This was spray-dried by spray drying to obtain a product powder having a 40 mesh pass. The dextrin solid content of this powder is 85.7% and the extract solid content is 14.3%
Which was a concentrated powder of about 70 times the concentration suitable for drinking.

[0013]

As described above, according to the present invention, there is a remarkable effect that asparalinea, which is extremely useful in health and beauty, can be easily used for drinking, foodstuffs, food additives, cosmetics, bath additives and the like. .
