Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [1] Object of the Invention The present invention relates to the use of novel processed foods of edible seeds or grains coated with heme iron (hereinafter referred to as edible seeds for convenience).

[2] Industrial application field The processed food of the present invention was obtained by fixing heme iron on the surface of edible seeds and seeds that have been used as foods using a binder that is hardly soluble or insoluble in water. Without losing the properties of edible seeds as food,
In addition, an iron replenishing function can be added to enhance nutritional value.

Thus, new demand for heme iron and edible seeds can be expanded.

[3] Conventional technology The eating habits of Japanese people are rapidly becoming westernized and eating out, and the use of processed foods tends to increase year by year. Along with this, importance has been placed on the simplicity of food and the function of maintaining balance from the nutritional point of view.

For example, excessive calorie intake causes obesity,
This has led to an increase in the number of people who are trying to diet, and to prevent this, the number of people who reduce the number of meals and restrict their intake to severe levels has been increasing.

As a result, the body has a shortage of essential micronutrients: minerals, vitamins, etc., which is a cause of physical illness.

As a typical example, deficiency of iron and calcium is remarkable. In particular, iron is replenished from iron contained in plant and animal food (food), while iron (non-heme iron) contained in plant food is replaced by heme contained in animal food. There is a disadvantage that it is hardly absorbed as compared with iron.

Therefore, severe food loss caused by plant food tends to lead to iron deficiency anemia, and if the required amount is supplemented only with plant food, a large amount of intake was required.

Heme iron, on the other hand, has recently been treated with hemoglobin obtained by processing blood released during the slaughter of livestock, and is then treated with proteolytic enzymes, etc. A new purification / mass production method has been developed in which the amount is increased and the peculiar smell of blood is removed, and for example, a publication indicating this is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 63-276460. and so on.

As a result, application and use to processed foods have been actively promoted.

(Publications on the application of heme iron to processed foods) (1) Tetsuo Bando / Monthly Food Chemical August 1988,
45-49 (2) Tetsuo Bando / New Food Industry Vol. 31, No. 7, pages 6-12, 1989 (3) Kohei Hasebe / Japan Food Science Vol. 27, No. 12, pages 44-48, 1988 [4] Problems to be Solved by the Invention The present inventors have proposed, as one means for solving the above-mentioned drawbacks of iron supplementation of food, among vegetable foods, particularly fats, proteins, or carbohydrates (polysaccharides). Nutritious edible nuts and seeds (seed, seeds, cereals, etc.), such as sesame seeds, soybeans, rice, wheat, millet,
Based on poppy seeds, millet, adzuki beans, peanuts, walnut seeds, or seeds that have been used for food, for example, in the form of grains such as pepper and hemp nuts, which have been used for food. The research has been focused on making it easy to eat processed foods with added iron supplementation ability.

That is, regarding foods having these granular forms, in Japan, there is a history that they have been roasted for a long time and have been used as food for frying. Therefore, the present inventors, based on these histories, to help prevent and ameliorate iron deficiency anemia, on the development of processed foods of edible plant seeds using heme iron, without impairing the component characteristics, Research has been continued for the purpose of adding easily absorbable heme iron in a natural state to a form that can be ingested by anyone.

As a result, the present invention has been succeeded as specifically shown below.

[5] Constitution of the Invention The present invention comprises a processed food coated with heme iron obtained by fixing heme iron on the surface of edible seeds or cereals using a binder that is hardly soluble or insoluble in water.

[6] Means for Solving the Problems In order to further describe the present invention, examples of processing of sesame seeds (Examples) are shown below. However,
The present invention is not limited to sesame seeds, and any known seeds (seed, cereals) that have been used for food can be used as appropriate.
The edible seeds may be used as they are in their original form, or they may be used in their original form, or they may be crushed or the surface of the seeds removed, peeled (peeled), and ground. Any of seeds and the like can be used.

Incidentally, heme iron used in the present invention is manufactured based on blood derived from livestock animals and has an iron content of 1.0
Edible-grade heme iron (Ichimaru Falcos) at ~ 1.3% was used.

Further, in fixing heme iron to edible seeds, a coating agent / binder agent (sizing agent) which is hardly soluble or insoluble in water is used. However, in some cases, a water-soluble paste agent may be used in combination. See Table 1 for examples of sizing agents. In addition, a solution in which various cereal powders having glue properties (such as rice flour, flour, corn starch, starch obtained from potatoes and the like) are used, or a solution that is soluble in acid or alkali, A sizing agent having the property of dissolving in a specific solvent other than water can also be used.

In addition, in coating, not only heme iron, but also other foods (processed foods) and nutrients depending on the application and purpose:
Various vitamins, such as vitamin C, or minerals (such as calcium) may be used together.

(Example of production of heme iron-coated sesame) Black sesame seeds with skin or peeled sesame seeds (a so-called molting sesame obtained by peeling the skin of sesame seeds on the market) are 100 to 150 in advance. ℃ ℃ (120 ° C for peeled sesame seeds, 130 ° C for peeled sesame seeds is optimal), it is hardly soluble or insoluble in water while gently stirring. Sizing agent solution (the content of the sizing agent in the solution is not particularly limited, but is 0.1 to 5%
Is uniformly sprayed to a ratio of 1 to 20% (usually 5 to 10%), so that the surface of the sesame seeds is sufficiently wet.

In view of this wet state, next, an arbitrary amount (appropriate amount) of heme iron powder is evenly applied. With this spraying,
Heme iron uniformly adheres to the surface of the peeled sesame seed or the peeled sesame seed, and the state of the sesame seed coated with heme iron is obtained.

Next, after drying in a dryer, through a particle size sorter,
Obtain heme iron-coated sesame seeds of a certain size.

In addition, for the heme iron-coated sesame seeds obtained in the above process,
Furthermore, a slightly water-soluble or insoluble paste agent solution may be sprayed and dried. In addition, it is also possible to attach heme iron to sesame seeds using a water-soluble paste, spray a sparingly water-soluble or insoluble paste agent solution onto the sesame seeds, and then fix the heme iron to the sesame seeds by drying. it can.

Heme iron-coated sesame obtained by these methods does not easily peel off heme iron from sesame seeds even when exposed to water. Therefore, for example, when roasting unpeeled black sesame seeds and sprinkling them on rice, if this is left unabsorbed, the sesame-derived pigment will leach out near the black sesame seeds sprinkled and sprinkled on the rice. In some cases, when the heme iron is coated, a paste material that is hardly soluble (insoluble) in water is used to coat the heme iron.

The appearance of the sesame seeds coated here with heme iron, for example, looks like skinned black sesame seeds even when peeled sesame seeds are used.

During the above process, heme iron may be mixed with the paste agent solution, uniformly dispersed on the seeds of sesame seeds or peeled sesame seeds in a dispersed reaction, dried, and the particle size may be adjusted to obtain a product.

In addition, by utilizing the properties of various paste agents, such as those that can be used in specific organic solvents or those that differ in solubility due to changes in the pH of acids or alkali solutions,
The product can be finished in a state where the pigment contained in the coated heme iron and black sesame film does not leach out.

(Example of production of sesame coated with heme iron and calcium agent) Slowly agitate the seeds of black sesame seeds or peeled sesame seeds that have been roasted in advance at a temperature around 100-150 ° C. Meanwhile, an aqueous type solution containing gelatin or an aqueous type solution containing alginic acid as a paste agent,
It is sprayed uniformly to a ratio of 1 to 20%, so that the surface of the black sesame seeds is sufficiently wet. Considering this wet condition, the ratio of heme iron powder to fine bone powder (calcium) derived from fish bones and animal bones (including livestock and poultry bones and egg shells) is 1: Using a mixed powder of about 1: 6 shells, take an arbitrary amount and distribute evenly. By this spraying, the heme iron and the calcium agent are uniformly attached to the seed surface of the peeled sesame seed or the peeled sesame seed to obtain a coated sesame seed. Next, after drying this, it is sorted to a certain grain size by a grain size sorter, and the obtained seeds are
Furthermore, a hardly water soluble or insoluble paste agent solution is sprayed and dried to fix the heme iron and calcium agent to the sesame seeds.

Even if the sesame seed obtained here is a peeled sesame seed, its appearance is coated in a state having a characteristic black-brown color possessed by heme iron. Looks like.

(Manufacturing method of sesame salt-like frigake) Whey minerals (low sodium salty seasoning), fine powder of fish bone or animal bone (calcium agent), and natural seasoning are mixed in appropriate amounts, and the mixture is extruded with a granulator (wet granulation) The seeds of the heme-iron-coated sesame obtained in the above-mentioned Production Example were further added to the granules obtained by the granulator) in an appropriate amount to produce sesame salt-like flourish.

The sesame salt-like fluffy can optionally be added with shredded dried vegetables, dried seaweed, fish and shellfish, etc., and the like to obtain a fluffy-type processed food.

The composition in the granules is an example, and is not limited thereto.For example, various dry powdered foods, extracts, spices and the like may be added. Manufactured and mixed with sesame seeds coated with heme iron, it may be used as a flickering food.

(Taste test) The following table (Table 2) shows that the commercially available bonito brilliant seeds of heme iron-coated peeled sesame produced according to the above production example (2.
5%) and a mixture of the same bonito brilliant with a regular roasted black sesame (2.5%) separately prepared (plastic container: 20g filling) and monitor (13 persons) are the evaluation results when tasting was performed.

As a result, heme iron-coated peeled sesame seeds have no resistance in the same way as ordinary black sesame seed-filled flika seeds, and heme iron-coated peeled sesame seeds have The color is slightly different from normal black sesame seeds, but at first glance it looks like unpeeled black sesame seeds.In addition, heme iron-coated peeled sesame seeds are better than black sesame seeds. However, many respondents said that it was delicious.

In these, the appearance of sesame seeds coated with heme iron is in a unique color tone: black-brown, slightly different from the original color tone of black sesame seeds, but uniform and constant color is maintained. As a result, the sesame seeds look like unpeeled black sesame seeds and can be eaten without any resistance.

In addition, in the case of black sesame seeds, many answered that bitterness was a concern when chewing, due to the fact that they were skinned, whereas heme iron-coated peeled sesame seeds had bitterness. It was also found that there was little feeling, and that the feeling of hardness and roughness also disappeared.

The tasting was conducted by recruiting monitors from in-house employees, sprinkling an appropriate amount on the rice served at lunch (rice cooked rice), and comparing the food. For the evaluation, a questionnaire sheet containing questions about heme iron-coated peeled sesame seeds was distributed in advance, and after tasting, each question was answered.

[7] Effects of the present invention The present invention is a heme iron-coated processed food obtained by fixing heme iron on the surface of edible seeds or cereals using a water-insoluble or insoluble binder. The effects of the present invention can be summarized as follows.

The purpose of replenishing iron is easily achieved as a processed food having a feature that its manufacturing method is simple and that heme iron does not easily peel off edible seeds even when it comes into contact with water.

Not only for edible seeds, but also for the drawback that heme iron is hardly soluble in water. Other various known foods can be easily processed into iron-fortified processed foods.

Conventionally, the specific color of heme iron has hindered use in processed foods. According to the present invention, the specific color can be effectively used. In other words, peeling the indigestible black sesame seeds and coating the surface with heme iron can make them look like skinned black sesame seeds in appearance, and enhance digestion of sesame seeds. At the same time, iron absorption with good absorption became possible.

This means, for example, that the indigestible epidermis of various seeds, seeds and cereals can be peeled off to give the appearance of black soybeans with skin or black pepper seeds, as well as black poppy seeds. The surface film of a seed that does not exist on the surface can be turned into a black seed. Therefore, the creation of unusual and interesting processed food can be expected by this application.

In the use of heme iron in processed foods and the like, due to the high specific gravity of heme iron, for example, when blended in products, drawbacks such as sedimentation over time were pointed out,
Advantageous Effects of Invention According to the present invention, integrated processing can be easily performed in various processed foods in a uniform state regardless of specific gravity.

In general, seeds that contain a lot of fats and oils are oxidized,
Deterioration begins and the flavor drops, but the seeds coated with heme iron according to the present invention prevent oxidation and deterioration of fats (oils and fats) contained in the seeds and maintain stability. It can maintain a tasty seed and fruit state.
