Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a calcium-containing food and a method for producing the same.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In recent years, food containing calcium as a nutrient has attracted attention (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 59-120078, Japanese Patent Publication No. 5-1706).
However, the calcium content is hard and has high frictional resistance. When tableting by compression molding, a strong frictional force works, making the tablet machine's pestle and die wear quickly and making it difficult to use. There are many losses. Conventionally, no attempt has been made to reduce the abrasive action of calcium in tablet production.
[0003]
On the other hand, in the field of pharmaceuticals, when manufacturing a tablet, stearic acid, magnesium stearate, calcium stearate, talc, Various lubricants such as sucrose fatty acid esters are used, but many are restricted to use in foods such as stearic acid, magnesium stearate, calcium stearate, and contact resistance during compression molding In order to fully exhibit the effect of reducing the amount of these, these lubricants are generally added after the production of granules.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
This invention makes it a subject to provide the tablet-like calcium containing foodstuff which reduced the abrasion of the punch and die of a tablet machine by the calcium content at the time of manufacture, and its manufacturing method.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
As a result of intensive studies to solve the above problems, the present inventors have found that the problems can be solved by encapsulating the calcium content with sucrose fatty acid ester during granulation, and completed the present invention. It came to do.
That is, the first invention of the present application is a tablet-like calcium-containing food characterized in that, in a food containing a calcium content as a main component, the calcium content is encapsulated with a sucrose fatty acid ester. The invention is a method for producing a tablet-like calcium-containing food, characterized in that a mixture containing calcium and sucrose fatty acid ester is granulated together with a binder and compression-molded.
[0006]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
In the present invention, the calcium content is not limited as long as it contains calcium and can be used as a food additive, calcium-containing substances derived from natural products such as animals, plants, minerals, For example, coral powder (weathered coral reef coral); animal bones, oyster shells, shell pulverized products; crushed seaweeds such as cypress, seaweed, etc .; In addition to pulverized calcium minerals such as fluoride minerals (for example fluorite), silicate minerals (for example chachalite), phosphate minerals (for example lincaite), various synthetic calcium compounds such as calcium carbonate, DL-calcium lactate , L-calcium lactate, primary calcium phosphate, secondary calcium phosphate, tertiary calcium phosphate, calcium gluconate, calcium citrate Beam, calcium glycerophosphate, calcium chloride, dihydrogen pyrophosphate, calcium hydroxide, calcium sulfate, can be used calcium pantothenate.
[0007]
The calcium-containing food of the present invention contains the above-mentioned calcium content as a main component. Here, “containing as a main component” means not only as an additive but as a nutrient and the purpose. The amount of calcium is usually 10 to 60% by weight based on the whole food. In the calcium-containing food of the present invention, the “encapsulation” is sufficient if the sucrose fatty acid ester adheres to at least a part of the surface of the calcium content, thereby exerting the effect of reducing the grinding action of the calcium content, It is not necessary that the entire calcium surface is coated with sucrose fatty acid ester.
[0008]
The method for producing a tablet-like calcium-containing food according to the second invention of the present application is characterized in that a mixture containing a calcium content and a sucrose fatty acid ester is granulated together with a binder and compression-molded.
In the present invention, the sucrose fatty acid ester exhibits an effect of reducing the grinding action of the calcium content by encapsulating the calcium content. From the viewpoint of making this effect sufficient, the blending ratio of calcium and sucrose fatty acid ester is preferably 1: 0.01 to 1 by weight.
[0009]
The binder used in the production method of the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it is generally used as a binder for foods. For example, sodium alginate, propylene glycol alginate, carboxymethylcellulose calcium, carboxymethylcellulose sodium, sodium starch glycolate, Examples include sodium starch phosphate ester, sodium polyacrylate, methyl cellulose, glucose solution, sucrose solution, and reduced maltose starch syrup solution. The binder may be used by dissolving in water or ethanol during granulation.
The production method of the present invention can be carried out in the same manner as in ordinary compression molding except that a mixture containing calcium and sucrose fatty acid ester is granulated together with a binder.
[0010]
In the present invention, if necessary, a main ingredient other than calcium (nutrients, etc.) can be blended. In this case, these main ingredients other than calcium are made into granules different from calcium, It is preferable that this granule is mixed with a calcium-containing granule and manufactured by compression molding in terms of enhancing the effect of reducing the grinding action of calcium by the sucrose fatty acid ester.
