Description

【0001】
【発明が属する技術分野】
本発明は、麦若葉末を含有する健康食品に関する。より詳細には、麦若葉末と水溶性食物繊維とを含有する、ストレス軽減に優れた健康食品に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
健康食品がブームとなり、生活習慣病を改善するといわれる種々の食品が開発されているが、その多くは、単一の食品素材に賦形剤を添加して成型されたものである。ところが最近では、複数の食品素材を組み合わせて、相乗作用を訴求したものが開発され、市販されるようになってきた。例えば、ビフィズス菌とオリゴ糖と食物繊維とを配合した健康食品は、相乗的な整腸効果を奏し、それぞれを単独で用いた際には奏し得ないほどの高い大腸ガン予防効果があるといわれている。
【0003】
しかし、このように複数の食品素材を組み合わせた場合には、お互いの効果が逆に相殺されてしまうこともある。
【0004】
一方、現代社会はストレス社会であり、ストレスを溜めると、免疫力の低下、肥満、脱毛などを引き起こす。またアトピー性皮膚炎、喘息、慢性肝炎、狭心症、糖尿病においても、ストレスの原因が1つとなり得るといわれている。
【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
そこで、ストレスを軽減する健康食品が望まれている。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者らは、種々の栄養成分を豊富に含有する麦若葉末を用いたストレス軽減方法について鋭意検討した結果、麦若葉末と水溶性食物繊維とを組み合わせることにより、ストレスを軽減できることを見出して、本発明を完成させた。
【0007】
すなわち、本発明は、麦若葉末と水溶性食物繊維とを含有する、ストレス軽減に優れた健康食品に関する。
【0008】
好ましい実施態様において、上記健康食品は、さらにスピルリナを含有する。
【0009】
より好ましい実施態様において、上記健康食品は、乳酸菌またはオリゴ糖のうち少なくとも1つを含有する。
【0010】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の一実施形態に係る健康食品について説明する。なお、以下に説明する構成は、本発明を限定するものでなく、本発明の趣旨の範囲内で種々改変することができるものである。
【0011】
麦若葉は、ビタミン類、ミネラル類、食物繊維などに富み、有害物質の吸着、腸内環境の改善、コレステロールの吸収抑制、食後血糖値の急上昇防止、スーパーオキシドディスムターゼ(SOD)の活性化などの効果を有する健康食品の素材として注目を浴びている。
【0012】
この麦若葉は、麦若葉を乾燥粉末化した麦若葉末あるいは麦若葉の搾汁を乾燥粉末化した麦若葉搾汁粉末の形態で用いられている場合が多い。麦若葉末と搾汁粉末とを比較した場合、麦若葉の含有する成分を有効に活用できるという観点からは、食物繊維、ミネラル類などをより多く保持している麦若葉末の方が、健康食品の素材としてより有用である。
【0013】
本発明に用いられる麦若葉末とは、大麦、小麦、ライ麦、燕麦などの麦類の若葉を粉末にしたものをいう。麦若葉末は、例えば、分けつ開始期から出穂開始期(背丈が20〜40cm程度)に収穫した麦若葉を水等で洗浄し、適切な長さ(例えば、10cm)に切断した後、必要に応じて、素材の変質(緑色の褪色や風味の変化)を防ぐために、ブランチング(熱水)処理、マイクロウェーブ処理などを施し、そして水分含量が5%以下となるように、乾燥し、粉末化して得られる。栄養分保持の観点からは、ブランチングは短時間であることが好ましい。また、乾燥は、凍結乾燥、あるいは70℃以下の低温加熱乾燥(例えば、温風乾燥)であることが好ましい。得られる麦若葉末は、麦若葉を搾汁することなくそのまま乾燥粉末化しているために、麦若葉の有効成分をそのまま含んでいる。
【0014】
麦若葉末には食物繊維が含まれているが、その大部分が不溶性食物繊維である。不溶性食物繊維は、大腸がん予防効果、腸内環境の改善効果を有する。
【0015】
本発明に用いる水溶性食物繊維としては、ペクチン、グアガム、サイリウム、ガラクトマンナン、キシログルカン、ローカストビーンガム、グルコマンナン、アルギン酸ナトリウム、コンドロイチン硫酸、低分子アルギン酸、低分子グアガム、難消化性デキストリン、ポリデキストロース、プルラン、ファイパロン、コンドロイチン硫酸などが挙げられる。また、これらの精製品に限らず、水溶性食物繊維を多量に含む他の食品素材も本発明の水溶性食物繊維として用いられる。
【0016】
水溶性食物繊維は、糖分やコレステロールの吸収を抑え、食塩のナトリウムと結合するなどの作用があると言われているが、本発明の健康食品のように、相乗的なストレス軽減効果に関する報告は未だない。
【0017】
本発明に用いるスピルリナとしては、スピルリナ属に属する藍藻類であれば良く、これには例えば、スピルリナ・ゲイトレリ、スピルリナ・プラテンシス、スピルリナ・マキシマ、スピルリナ・メイヤー、スピルリナ・ラキシシマ、スピルリナ・アルダリア等が挙げられる。なお、本発明の健康食品に配合する場合、これらの形態は問わず、液体培地中で培養した藻体でも、乾燥藻体を添加しても良い。
【0018】
スピルリナは、クロロフィル、カロチン、ビタミンB群、カリウム、マグネシウムなどのミネラルに富み、高脂血症、糖尿病に効果があるといわれているが、ストレス軽減に関する報告はない。
【0019】
本発明の健康食品は、麦若葉末および水溶性食物繊維を含有し、これにより、それぞれが単独では得られない相乗的なストレス軽減効果が得られ、その配合比は、10重量部の麦若葉末に対して、水溶性食物繊維の配合量を、好ましくは20〜80重量部、より好ましくは25〜75重量部、さらに好ましくは30〜70重量部とする。
【0020】
好ましい実施態様において、本発明の健康食品は、スピルリナを含有する。このときの配合比は、10重量部の麦若葉末に対して、水溶性食物繊維の配合量を、好ましくは20〜80重量部、より好ましくは25〜75重量部、さらに好ましくは30〜70重量部とし、さらにスピルリナ(乾燥藻体)の配合量を、好ましくは、0.5〜30重量部、より好ましくは、1〜25重量部、さらに好ましくは1.5〜20重量部とする。
【0021】
本実施態様において、好ましい配合例を挙げると、10重量部の麦若葉末に対して、水溶性食物繊維を10〜30重量部にスピルリナを1〜5重量部を添加する。
【0022】
上記の必須素材に加えて、オリゴ糖または乳酸菌、あるいはそれらの両方を添加しても良い。これにより、麦若葉末の不溶性食物繊維および水溶性食物繊維と相俟って、相乗的な整腸効果が得られ、ストレス軽減効果も増強される。
【0023】
オリゴ糖は、腸内細菌によって資化され、一般に腸内環境を整備すると考えられているので、不溶性食物繊維と同じ機能、すなわち、大腸がん予防効果、腸内環境の改善に作用すると考えられる。
【0024】
オリゴ糖としては、ラクチュロース、パラチノース、パラチノースオリゴ糖、フラクトオリゴ糖、ラフィノース、スタキオース、キシロオリゴ糖、マルトオリゴ糖、イソマルトオリゴ糖、トレハロース、ガラクトオリゴ糖、大豆オリゴ糖、乳果オリゴ糖、ビートオリゴ糖、ゲンチオオリゴ糖、ニゲロオリゴ糖などが挙げられる。
【0025】
オリゴ糖の配合量は、10重量部の麦若葉末に対して、好ましくは、0.5〜30重量部、より好ましくは1〜20重量部である。
【0026】
乳酸菌は、オリゴ糖と同様、腸内環境を整備すると考えられている。
【0027】
乳酸菌としては、Lactobacillus acidophilus、 Lactobacillus casei、 Lactobacillus bulgaricus、 Streptococcus thermophilus、 Streptococcus faecalis、 Streptococcus faecium、 Bacillus coagulans、 Bifidobacterium longum(ビフィズス菌)など 等が用いられる。乳酸菌を用いる場合は、粉末、液状の食品が好ましく、適切な培地で培養後、凍結乾燥して、加工食品に添加すると、水分を与えられた場合に生育可能となる。
【0028】
乳酸菌の配合量は、10重量部の麦若葉末に対して、乳酸菌が乾燥粉末の場合、好ましくは0.1〜10重量部、より好ましくは0.5〜5重量部である。
【0029】
さらに、本発明の加工食品には、体内にカルシウムを供給する目的で、カルシウム含有物(例えば、卵殻カルシウム、サンゴカルシウム、真珠末など)と、還元麦芽糖および/または乳糖が添加される。還元麦芽糖と乳糖は、カルシウムの体内吸収(利用)率を上昇させるために添加される。
【0030】
カルシウム含有物は、10重量部の麦若葉末に対して、その組成にもよるが、好ましくは1〜20重量部、より好ましくは2〜10重量部添加される。
【0031】
還元麦芽糖および/または乳糖は、10重量部のカルシウム含有物に対して、好ましくは合計10〜100重量部、より好ましくは20〜100重量部添加される。
【0032】
上記のようにして配合された健康食品は、そのまま用いられるか、あるいは賦形剤、増量剤、結合剤、増粘剤、乳化剤、着色料、香料、食品添加物、調味料などと混合され得る。例えば、栄養補助剤として、ローヤルゼリー、ビタミン、プロテイン、キトサン、レシチンなどが配合され、さらに糖液や調味料を加え、味を整えることができる。そしてこれらは、必要に応じて、ハードカプセル、ソフトカプセルのようなカプセル剤、錠剤、もしくは丸剤としてか、または粉末状、顆粒状、飴状などの形状に成形され得る。そしてこれらは、その形状または好みに応じて、そのまま食されても良いし、水、お湯、牛乳などに溶いて飲んでも良い。

[0002]
[Prior art]
Health foods have become a boom, and various foods that are said to improve lifestyle-related diseases have been developed. Many of them are formed by adding an excipient to a single food material. In recent years, however, a combination of a plurality of food materials has been developed to promote synergy, and is now being marketed. For example, it is said that health foods containing bifidobacteria, oligosaccharides and dietary fiber have a synergistic bowel-regulating effect, and have a high colon cancer-preventing effect that cannot be achieved when each is used alone. ing.
[0003]
However, when a plurality of food materials are combined as described above, the effects of each other may be offset in reverse.
[0004]
On the other hand, modern society is a stressed society. When stress is accumulated, immunity, obesity, and hair loss are caused. It is also said that atopic dermatitis, asthma, chronic hepatitis, angina pectoris, and diabetes can be one cause of stress.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Therefore, health foods that reduce stress are desired.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present inventors have conducted extensive studies on a method for reducing stress using wheat young leaf powder rich in various nutrients, and found that stress can be reduced by combining wheat young leaf powder and water-soluble dietary fiber. Thus, the present invention has been completed.
[0007]
That is, the present invention relates to a health food excellent in stress reduction, containing wheat leaf powder and water-soluble dietary fiber.

Wheat young leaves are rich in vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber, etc., adsorb harmful substances, improve intestinal environment, suppress cholesterol absorption, prevent postprandial blood sugar rise, activate superoxide dismutase (SOD), etc. It is attracting attention as a material for health foods that have an effect.
[0012]
This wheat young leaf is often used in the form of wheat young leaf powder obtained by drying and powdering wheat young leaf or wheat young leaf juice powder obtained by drying and powdering the juice of wheat young leaf. When comparing wheat young leaves and squeezed powder, from the viewpoint that the components contained in wheat young leaves can be used effectively, wheat young leaves that retain more dietary fiber and minerals are more healthy. It is more useful as a food ingredient.
[0013]
The wheat young leaf powder used in the present invention refers to a powder of wheat young leaves such as barley, wheat, rye, oats and the like. Wheat young leaves are washed, for example, with water or the like, and then cut to an appropriate length (for example, 10 cm) from the beginning of tillering to the beginning of heading (height of about 20 to 40 cm). Accordingly, the material is subjected to blanching (hot water) treatment, microwave treatment, etc., in order to prevent deterioration of the material (green discoloration and change in flavor), and then dried so that the water content is 5% or less, and powdered. It is obtained by conversion. From the viewpoint of nutrient retention, blanching is preferably performed for a short time. The drying is preferably freeze drying or low temperature heating drying at 70 ° C. or lower (for example, hot air drying). Since the obtained wheat young leaf powder is dried and powdered as it is without squeezing the wheat young leaf, it contains the active ingredient of the wheat young leaf as it is.
