Description

  The present invention relates to an okra water extract powder package.

  Okra is a plant native to the northeastern part of Africa, belonging to the genus Trolloaoi, and has been cultivated for over 2000 years and is known as a highly medicinal plant.

  Okra has a unique “slimy”, and these slime components are water-soluble dietary fiber pectin, galactan, araban, and polysaccharides. In addition, it contains nutrients such as vitamins, calcium and iron, and the demand for health foods is increasing.

  Ingestion of okra itself has made it difficult to efficiently absorb all water-soluble components such as viscous saccharides in okra into the body. In addition, when a polysaccharide viscous saccharide is powdered, it forms a lump generally called a lump when dissolved in a liquid such as water, and has a problem that it is difficult to use as a powder because of its poor dispersibility and solubility.

  In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a package of water extract powder of okra that can easily ingest water-soluble components of okra and has excellent dispersibility and solubility when dissolved in a liquid. .

  As a result of studying to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present inventor efficiently extracted water-soluble components in okra by adding water to a cut piece of okra and extracting it by heating. It is a powder with excellent dispersibility and solubility in liquid by mixing at least one excipient of saccharides and sugar alcohols, freeze-drying, and then making the particle size suitable for dissolution. The present inventors have found that an easily-dissolved okra water extract powder capable of easily ingesting the components can be obtained and housed in a package to arrive at the present invention.

[Comparative Example 1]
100 g of fresh okra fruits were cut into 2 mm, 300 g of water was added, and after extraction by heating at 60 ° C. or higher and 75 ° C. or lower for 5 minutes, the extract was collected by filtration. The operation until 200 g of water was added to the extraction residue and the extraction liquid was recovered was repeated three times in the same manner as described above. 777.5 g of the obtained total extract was freeze-dried to obtain 3.1 g of a dry product of a light green okra water extract (Comparative product 1). Since the dried product was 100% okra water extract solid content, the dry yield of the okra water extract solid content was calculated to be 0.3987%.

(Okra state)
100 g of fresh okra fruit (Example 1-1), 100 g of frozen okra fruit (Example 1-2) or 9.1 g of dried okra fruit (Example 1-3) obtained by freeze-drying 100 g of fresh fruit were cut into 2 mm, Add 300 g of water (Example 1-1 or 1-2) or 300 g of water and 90.9 g of moisture evaporated in drying (Example 1-3), and after heat extraction at 60 ° C. to 75 ° C. for 5 minutes, The extract was recovered by filtration. 200 g of water was added to the extraction residue, followed by extraction and filtration in the same manner as described above, and this operation was repeated three times. After adding and dissolving 74.0 g, 73.0 g or 74.9 g of dextrin as an excipient to 839.8 g, 799.7 g or 866.2 g of the total extract obtained, lyophilization was carried out to obtain a pale green 74.9 g (practical product 1-1), 73.7 g (practical product 1-2), or 75.0 g (practical product 1-3) of the dried okra water extract was shouldered. From the dry yield of the comparative example, the solid content and the excipient content of the okra water extract in the dried product were calculated and shown in Table 1.
Even when using okra in different states such as fresh products, frozen products, or dried products, the water-soluble solid content derived from okra could be extracted to the same extent.

(Type of excipient)
500 g of fresh okra fruits were cut into 2 mm, 1500 g of water was added, and after extraction by heating at 60 ° C. or higher and 75 ° C. or lower for 5 minutes, the extract was collected by filtration. 1000 g of water was added to the extraction residue, followed by extraction and filtration in the same manner as described above, and this operation was repeated three times. Of the total extract 4194.5 g obtained, 838.9 g corresponding to the extract of 100 g of fresh okra fruits, 75.5 g of indigestible dextrin as an excipient (Example 2-1) or anhydrous crystalline glucose After adding and dissolving 75.5 g (Example 2-2), freeze-drying was performed, and 76.4 g (Example 2-1) or 81.4 g (Example 2) of a dried product of a light green okra water extract. -2). From the dry yield of the comparative example, the solid content and the excipient content of the okra water extract in the dried product were calculated and shown in Table 1.

(Amount of excipient added)
In an extract of 838.9 g described in Example 2, 113.2 g (Example 3-1), 37.7 g (Example 3-2) or 20.9 g (Example 3-3) are used as excipients. After adding and dissolving, freeze-drying was performed, and 113.0 g (practical product 3-1), 40.4 g (practical product 3-2), or 24.2 g (practical product 3) of a dried product of light green okra water extract -3) was obtained. From the dry yield of the comparative example, the solid content and the excipient content of the okra water extract in the dried product were calculated and shown in Table 1.

[Evaluation Test 1]
In a 200 mL beaker, 100 g of purified water at 20 ° C. was added and stirred for 10 seconds at 2 rotations per second, and then the sample was added, stirred for 10 seconds in the same manner, left for 2 minutes, and immediately after stirring. (0 minutes) and the dissolution state after 2 minutes were evaluated. The results are shown in Table 2. The evaluation was “dissolved”: ◯, “one dissolved but undissolved”: Δ, “not dissolved”: x.

  For the sample, the product 1-1 was pulverized and sieved with a sieve having an opening of 0.3 mm, 0.5 mm, 0.71 mm, 1.0 mm, 2.0 mm, 3.35 mm, 4.0 mm or 5.6 mm. Each 0.5 g of okra water extract powder obtained by passing was used. The solid content of the okra water extract in 0.5 g of the powder was 22.4 mg.

  In addition, each okra water extract powder that passed with an aperture of 0.5 mm, 0.71 mm, 1.0 mm, 2.0 mm, or 3.35 mm was further passed through a sieve with an aperture of 0.5 mm, and the passed powder The ratio was calculated and shown in Table 2.

  Okra water extract powder has good solubility of the powder obtained by passing through a sieve having an opening of 0.71 to 3.35 mm, and obtained by passing through a sieve having an opening of 0.5 mm or less or 4 mm or more. The solubility of the powder was poor. Therefore, in order to dissolve the okra water extract powder easily, it was found that it was important to use a powder that passed through a sieve having a mesh size of 0.71 to 3.35 mm.

  Moreover, in the okra water extract powder that passed through a sieve with an opening of 0.5 mm, which had poor solubility, the proportion of the powder that passed through the sieve with an opening of 0.5 mm was 99.0%, whereas it was dissolved The ratio of the powder that passed through the 0.5 mm sieve to the okra water extract powder that passed through the 0.71 mm sieve was 73.8%, and the 3.35 mm sieve was used. The ratio of the powder passing through the sieve having an opening of 0.5 mm to the passed okra water extract powder was 16.2%. Therefore, if the proportion of powder having a particle size of less than 0.5 mm is too high, the solubility is poor, and if the proportion of powder having a particle size of less than 0.5 mm is 75% or less, the okra water extract powder can be easily dissolved. I found out that

[Evaluation Test 2]
The dissolution state was evaluated in the same manner as in Evaluation Test 1. The results are shown in Table 3. Samples 1-1 to 1-3, 2-1, 2-2, 3-1 to 3-3 and comparative product 1 were pulverized and passed through a sieve having an opening of 2.0 mm. The obtained powder was used and the usage amount described in Table 3 was added. In Examples 3-1 to 3-3 and Comparative Product 1, 22.4 mg of Okra water extract solids was used. Moreover, about the implementation products 1-1 to 1-3, it evaluated also about the viscosity of the solution after melt | dissolution, a color tone, and flavor, and it showed in Table 3.

  Examples 1-1 to 1-3 used okra in different states of fresh products, frozen products, or dried products, but all obtained okra water extract powders had good solubility and were easily dissolved as powders. Both were found to be available. On the other hand, there are differences in the viscosity, color tone, and flavor of the solution, and it can be used properly depending on the purpose of use. For example, a fresh product is preferable when used for the purpose of imparting viscosity, such as a thickener, and a dried product is preferred when it is not desired to impart too much viscosity.

  Examples 2-1 and 2-2 use indigestible dextrin or anhydrous crystalline glucose as an excipient, and the obtained okra water extract powder is immediately after stirring when anhydrous crystalline glucose is used. Although there was an undissolved residue, it was found that after 2 minutes, all had good solubility, and any excipient could be used as a powder for easy dissolution.

  Practical products 3-1 to 3-3 are okra water extract powders obtained by adding different amounts of excipients. When the excipient content in the powder is 86.2%, immediately after stirring Although there was an undissolved residue, the solubility was good at any excipient content after 2 minutes. On the other hand, Comparative Product 1 with no excipient added did not disperse the added powder, remained granular after 2 minutes, and could not be dissolved. Therefore, in order to use it as a powder for easy dissolution, it was necessary to add an excipient, and it was necessary to make the excipient content in the powder about 80 to 99% by weight.
