Description

  The present invention relates to a method for producing oyster meat extract granules for producing a granular oyster meat extract.

In recent years, the perception of oyster meat extract is generally increasing day by day as an excellent product containing many beneficial substances, for example, as a health supplement.
At present, for example, health supplements relating to oyster meat extract extracted by a variety of extraction methods are sold (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-136946).

  Examples of the beneficial substance include taurine, zinc, selenium and the like. And even among the mineral components that are particularly inadequate ingestion, zinc and selenium are extremely trace elements that are essential for human beings, but they are very easily lost. .

Diabetes mellitus is a disease in which insulin, which is a hormone that lowers blood sugar, weakens, or is deficient in insulin, resulting in abnormally high sugar content in the blood. It is said that it is minerals such as zinc and selenium that help.
As it is said that these minerals have “insulin action”, it has been confirmed that when these minerals are actually replenished to diabetic patients, the blood sugar level decreases.
Therefore, when extracting such oyster meat extract, there is a rich balance of other beneficial substances such as vitamins, taurine, glycogen, protein, and various amino acids that are good for the body of the human body, such as zinc and selenium. It is desirable to extract these beneficial substances so that they can be efficiently recovered in the oyster meat extract.

Therefore, the present inventor has made new inventions such as a method for extracting oyster meat extract and a method for producing oyster meat extract, and has filed a plurality of patents and obtained a plurality of patent rights.
However, in the main invention of the present inventors conducted so far, a method for producing a so-called tablet-shaped oyster meat extract on the premise that the oyster meat extract is formed into a tablet, or making the oyster meat extract into a dense paste, It was related with the manufacturing method of the type of oyster meat extract which dissolves this in hot water or water.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described based on embodiments shown in the drawings.
First, as can be understood from FIGS. 8 and 9, an extraction container 2 having, for example, a hemispherical Kama type or a cylindrical type, in which a solution 3 such as water is stored, is prepared. The raw oyster meat 1 is stored as it is, that is, the raw raw oyster meat 1 is carefully stored without being crushed (step 100).
And the extraction container 2 is sealed and it progresses to the extraction process of a oyster meat extract (step 102). In the extraction, it is not necessary to stir in the extraction container 2 so as not to damage the stripped oyster meat 1. Extraction can be performed efficiently without stirring. In addition, when extracting, it may be extracted by applying pressure, or may be extracted by reducing the pressure. In any case, it is preferable to employ a method that allows efficient extraction.

Thus, various active ingredients are efficiently extracted from the raw oyster meat 1 in the extraction container 2. The various active ingredients are efficiently dissolved in the solution 3 in the extraction container 2.
Next, in the extraction step, the process proceeds to a concentration step of concentrating the extracted solution obtained by extracting the oyster meat extract from the raw oyster meat 1 (step 104).
Here, the concentration method of the extraction solution is not limited in any way, and the extracted oyster meat extract is concentrated so that the solid content is, for example, about 15 to 45 (W / W)%. .

During this concentration, the temperature is usually raised, and the work is performed at a high temperature in the range of 60 ° C. to 70 ° C. or higher. You can also
In addition, there is no limitation as to what type of concentration method is used, and it is not limited to the above-mentioned reduced-pressure low-temperature concentration. For example, the concentration is performed by normal pressure heating, membrane concentration, pressure heating concentration, etc. It does not matter.

The concentrated solution concentrated to the predetermined concentration is immersed in the ethanol solution 6 and, if necessary, stirred (step 106), and waits for the oyster meat extract to precipitate after a predetermined time (step 108).
Then, after the predetermined time has elapsed, the precipitate 7 is collected and dried to produce a dried product 8 of oyster meat extract (step 110).
In recent years, a method has also been developed in which the so-called supernatant is concentrated again to extract the oyster meat extract from the concentrated solution.

In this way, oyster meat extract with high content and high extractability of so-called antioxidant and tacitrin-containing substances, fat-soluble vitamins and other beneficial substances that contain taurine, glycogen, protein or zinc Is extracted and manufactured.
And the dried oyster meat extract dried as mentioned above is thrown into the crusher 4 as shown in FIG. 2, and the dried oyster meat extract is crushed (step 200). The configuration of the crusher 4 is not limited at all.

Next, if the crushed dried oyster meat extract 15 is, for example, about 10 kg, about 5%, that is, about 500 g of metroise is mixed therein, and both are mixed. The mixing method is not limited in any way, but a method is conceivable in which both are placed in a large bag, and air is sufficiently placed in the bag, and shaken to the left and right for about 1 minute.
Here, Metroise mainly improves viscosity, is made of tasteless and odorless white or yellowish white fibrous powder or granules, is nonionic water-soluble cellulose ether, stable with little change over time Excellent in properties. Moreover, it is strong and can suppress cracking, chipping and abrasion. And it dissolves well in cold water or water / alcohol mixed system, and becomes a viscous transparent liquid. When the aqueous solution is heated above a certain viscosity, it gels, and when cooled, it returns to the original solution state. This thermal gelation property also prevents the deformation of the shape during cooking.

Further, the mixed oyster meat extract is added with, for example, about 95% of the ethanol solution 6 with respect to about 5% (step 202), and both are kneaded (step 204).
The kneading apparatus for performing the kneading and the detailed kneading method are not limited at all. However, as shown in FIG. It is preferable to go.

Next, the kneaded product 9 carefully kneaded as described above is put into the granulator 5 to produce the primary granule 10 (step 206). The granulator 5 extrudes the kneaded material 9 which is a humidified powder to form a granular powder (see FIGS. 4 and 5).
However, unlike the conventional oyster meat kiss supplement in the form of a tablet, it is easily dissolved in water and easy to drink. And it will be comprised so that the time which a component melt | dissolves can be adjusted by changing the thickness of the coating process etc. of chocolate taste so that it may mention later.
Moreover, it is processed so that it is easy to drink and dissolves in the mouth, and by this granulation process, it is possible to eliminate fine powder that coughs and to easily dissolve powder with poor water solubility.

Granulation is performed in this manner to mix and granulate powders having different properties, such as a simple powder, a mixture of many types of powder, a mixture of liquid and powder, and the like.
When granulating, adjust the particle size, bulk specific gravity, solubility, moisture, granule hardness, etc. according to the application and purpose, and make it into extrusion granulation, fluidized granulation, etc. depending on the use, purpose and raw material properties Is important.

Here, in order to produce good oyster meat extract granules, it is granulated without impairing the characteristics and flavor of each raw material, and it is stable for long-term storage while maintaining the desired particle size and solubility. It is important that the degree of satisfaction with respect to the demands is even higher.
When oyster meat extract is used as a granule, the granule has excellent solubility, and unlike a powder, it does not become lumpy when dissolved, and its surface area is smaller than that of a powder. Is stable.

Furthermore, by granulating, the oyster meat extract can be integrated and homogenized, and it is highly fluid and convenient for weighing and handling.
In addition, there is an advantage that scattering during filling and mixing can be prevented even during manufacturing work, and the work environment can be improved in a sanitary manner.
The appearance of the granules to be produced is preferably a cylindrical (buckwheat) granule having a length of about 2 to 3 mm .

Next, the primary granule 10 produced as described above is dried with a dryer (step 208).
For example, the primary granule 10 placed on, for example, the stainless steel tray 14 is placed in the dryer, the drying temperature is set at, for example, 50 ° C., and the drying is performed for 17 ± 2 hours.
The primary granule 10 may be laid with a plurality of streaks in order to spread about 3 kg per tray as a guideline and improve the drying efficiency (see FIG. 6). Moreover, it is good to extend flat so that there is no drying unevenness. The water content management value is set to 3.0% or less.

Next, the primary granules 10 thus dried are put into a granulator at regular intervals, and the primary granules 10 are sized to a predetermined size by the granulator ( Step 210).
The granulator basically oscillates around the sieving surface 13, and the vibration is generated by, for example, two types of weights, upper and lower, attached to both ends of the vibrating body. Is done.
The rotation of the upper weight causes horizontal vibration of the sieving surface 13 to move the substance supplied to the center of the sieving surface 13 in the rotation direction. The rotation of the lower weight serves to generate vertical vibration of the sieving surface and move it in the outer circumferential direction. In other words, these vibrations are combined to cause a special three-dimensional motion on the sieving surface 13, and by changing the phase of the lower weight with respect to the upper weight, the properties of the vibration change, and the motion suitable for the properties of the processed material is changed. It is structured so that it can be obtained.

In the present embodiment, the sieve surface 13 is set by adopting two sieve surfaces 13 and 13 of 18 mesh and 30 mesh, and the primary granule 10 passing the 30 mesh is reconstructed. The grain is carried out.
The number of meshes of the sieving surface 13 is shown as 18 mesh and 30 mesh as an example, but is not limited to this number of meshes.

Here, in the re-granulation, the kneaded product 9 is produced by mixing with the ethanol liquid 6 in the same manner as in the normal granulation process (NO in step 210).
And granulation, drying, and sizing after producing the kneaded product 9 are performed in the same manner as described above.
Thus, when the kneaded material 9 is granulated again, the one that has passed 30 mesh again is not used for the granulation.
In this case, the first sized product and the second sized product may be mixed and used.

Then, the sized primary granules 10 are coated with a rack coating raw material and a sugar coating raw material (step 212).
Then, the coated granules are again placed on the stainless steel tray 14 and re-dried in a dryer at 50 ° C. for 17 ± 2 hours.
In addition, it is important to extend flat so that there is no drying unevenness like the above. The water content management value is set to 3.0% or less.

The dried granule product dried in this way is transferred to, for example, a large ball, mixed with chocolate flavor or the like of about 0.3% with respect to the amount of the granule, and these are mixed uniformly.
At this time, it is preferable to mix the mixture so that the whole is uniform.
The granules thus coated are flavored and mixed (step 214).

Thus, the oyster meat extract granule produced according to the present invention was subjected to a so-called disintegration test. The result was that the oyster meat extract forming the tablet disintegrated after about 40 minutes, whereas the oyster meat extract granule was about It was found to disintegrate after 7 minutes.
Therefore, it can be understood that oyster meat extract granules are more easily dissolved and digested and absorbed after entering the stomach than oyster meat extract tablets.
