  By the way, when wood is processed, wood powder and kana waste are generated. These wood flours have limited uses, and most of them are industrial waste. Here, wood contains cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin as main components, but these components may not only adversely affect the human body even when taken orally, but may also activate the digestive system.

  This invention is completed in view of the said situation, and makes it the problem which should be solved to reproduce | regenerate the particulate-form or thin-film-form wood conventionally discarded as food.

  As a result of intensive studies to solve the above problems, the present inventors can suppress stagnation derived from a soluble component by immersing wood in a solvent and removing a part or all of the soluble component. The following inventions have been completed by finding out that the above effects are manifested.

The manufacturing method (6) described above can be combined with the following (7).
(7) The solvent is water, and the edible step has a boiling step of boiling after the wood is immersed in the solvent.

  The method for producing a food and a food material of the present invention will be described below based on the embodiments.

  The food of this embodiment is obtained from a mixture obtained by mixing a food material and water. In particular, it is obtained by heating the mixture. Specifically, bread such as white bread, sweet bread, French bread, pastries, steamed bread, udon noodles, pasta (spaghetti, penne, lasagna, ravioli, etc.), noodles such as buckwheat noodles, cookies, biscuits, cakes, donuts, Western confectionery such as scones, Japanese confectionery such as buns, sheep crab, rice crackers, and hail, dim sums such as dumplings and shumai, stewed curry, stew and soup, soup dishes, boiled dishes, fried foods (tempura and fries It can be used as a material or mixed with croquettes), beverages (mixed in place of pulp and skin mixed with juice), and the like. Moreover, what can be obtained by performing fermentation etc. with respect to a mixture, and things similar to miso, soy sauce, liquor etc. which do not retain the original form of wood are also mentioned. There is also the possibility of use as a bran floor. Furthermore, in addition to foods for humans, it can be used for foods provided for pets (dogs, cats, fish, etc.) and livestock (cattle, pigs, chickens, etc.). Furthermore, the utilization method as an additive (condiment, a fragrance | flavor) using the fragrance and taste which edible wood powder itself has is also considered.

  Furthermore, it can be applied to foods that can be used for other general animals. When pests and pests are assumed as other animals, they can be applied to repellent foods by mixing repellent compounds and poisons. This effect is derived from the added repellent compound and is basically a food that is harmless even if ingested by animals including humans. It is also possible to avoid animals that do not like the raw wood depending on the type of raw wood. Moreover, the effect which suppresses growth of mold | fungi and bacteria can be expressed.

  Food ingredients include edible wood and other ingredients. Furthermore, seasonings, such as salt and sugar, can also be included. Edible wood is obtained in an edible step of removing a part or all of soluble components by immersing wood in a solvent. Wood is in the form of particles or thin film. In order to obtain particulate wood, what is inevitably generated when the raw wood is cut with a saw or the like can be used. In the case of obtaining a thin-film wood, it can be produced with a firewood used for preparing the surface of the raw wood.

  The raw material wood is not particularly limited as long as the contained component (particularly, the component contained after removing the soluble component) does not cause harm to the animal subject to food. However, there is no problem if it is used for the repellent foods described above as an exception.

  Examples of the raw material wood include cedar, cocoon, pine, pine, cocoon, cocoon, next cocoon, parkwood, katsura, and bamboo. Even if the wood itself has no industrial use, it can be used for the raw material wood of this embodiment. In addition, it is desirable to use the wood powder, the sawdust, etc. generated when manufacturing timber as wood. In addition, bark and roots of raw wood can be used.

  When the wood is in a particulate form, the particle size is not limited. Since the tactile sensation changes depending on the particle size, the particle size is controlled so that the desired tactile sensation is obtained. Since the edible wood of this embodiment is similar to cereal flour (especially miscellaneous cereal flour), the particle size required for cereal flour can be obtained. The particle size can be controlled by changing the conditions for producing particulate wood, or by further crushing the obtained wood.

  When the wood is in the form of a thin film, the film thickness is not limited. However, the thinner the film thickness, the better the mouthfeel and the like.

  Examples of the solvent used for removing soluble components from the wood include water and organic solvents such as alcohol, and a mixed solvent thereof may be used. Soluble components contained in wood can be extracted by dipping in a solvent, and then soluble components can be removed by separating the solvent. It is desirable to adopt wood that has been subjected to a process for removing contaminating contaminants for the edible process.

  The immersion in the solvent in the edible process, which is a process for producing edible wood flour, can be performed for a certain amount of time (about 1 to 12 hours, or more). After soaking, the wood and the solvent are separated. Separation can be performed by filtration or the like. Then, you may wash | clean using a solvent further. Washing can be performed by dipping the wood again. Further, the immersion can be performed partly or entirely under heating. As a heating method, it can be put in some kind of container (such as a pan or a frying pan) and heated (including boiling) by a direct fire, or heated by a microwave oven or the like. Furthermore, after removing the solvent, it can be roasted, treated with superheated steam, or fried in oil.

  The amount of the solvent to be immersed is not particularly limited, but can be about 1 to 10 times based on the volume of the wood to be immersed. Preferable lower limit is about 2 times or 2.5 times. Preferable upper limit is about 6 times, 5 times, 4 times. These upper and lower limits can be arbitrarily combined. In particular, a preferable volume ratio can be about 3 times. Moreover, the immersion in a solvent can also be performed in several times (for example, 2 or 3 times). At the same time in the solubilization step, the wood can be crushed into a paste.

  The edible wood powder obtained may be used alone or in combination with other food ingredients. Other foods are not particularly limited as long as they are normally eaten, and examples include cereal flour, fruits, cereals, potatoes, meats, and fish. Examples of cereal flour include wheat flour, rice flour, corn flour, barley flour, kinako flour, buckwheat flour, millet flour, millet flour, potato starch, waste flour, tapioca flour, potato flour and almond flour. An example of the cereal is the cereal exemplified in cereal flour. Mixing cereals and cereal flour (such as rice bran) with about 3% to 15% (preferably about 5% to 12%) based on the mass of edible wood flour can change the texture such as stickiness. . The fruit can be used as it is, dried, or ground. The potatoes include sweet potatoes, potatoes and taro. Examples of meat include beef, pork, and chicken, and examples of fish include fish that are generally edible.

  Edible wood flour can be used with thickeners, essential oils, and oils. When a thickener is used, the texture can be improved, or the mixture can be mixed uniformly with other ingredients. As the thickener, those similar to the above-mentioned cereal flour can be used, and natural products such as agar, gelatin, gum arabic and guar gum, and natural products such as hydroxycellulose and ethylcellulose can be exemplified. The essential oil can be originally contained in the raw material wood or can be added. Any oil may be used as long as it is edible, including those derived from plants and animals.

  The mixing ratio with other ingredients is appropriately changed according to the food to be manufactured. The edible wood flour can be exemplified by the amount used to replace the grain flour among the materials used when producing general foods.

-Manufacture of edible wood Sawdust (wood flour: wood) obtained when raw wood was cut with a saw was screened to make the particle size uniform. The sieve opening was selected appropriately. The sieve opening can be selected according to the ingredients to be mixed and used according to the texture required for the food to be finally produced. For example, when used by mixing with other cereal flour, the opening of the sieve can be selected so that the particle size distribution is close to that of the cereal flour. Moreover, when using it instead of a minor grain, the opening of a sieve is selected so that it may become the particle size distribution similar to the minor grain to substitute. By this classification, impurities having a relatively large particle size were removed.

  Soluble components in wood are extracted and removed using water as a solvent as an edible process. Specifically, impurities were further visually removed from the wood flour, and then immersed in water. Immersion was performed overnight, and then the water was changed several times. Then, the soluble component was removed by boiling and exchanging water.

  Agar or starch powder was added to add thickness. Thickening improves the texture of foods obtained by adding a thickener directly to edible wood flour. About 3% to 15% of agar and starch were added based on the mass of edible wood flour.

-Production of food (doughnut, cookie) Edible wood flour, soft flour and commercially available hot cake mix were mixed at a volume ratio of 1: 1: 1 to obtain a food material. An appropriate amount of water was added to the food material and mixed to obtain a mixture. The resulting mixture was molded. A donut was manufactured by frying the molded product obtained by molding, and a cookie was manufactured by baking in an oven. You may change suitably the composition of a foodstuff raw material, and the mixing ratio with water with a donut and a cookie.

・ Sensory test When the prepared donuts and cookies were changed to edible wood flour and increased in the flour, they were used together with general donuts and cookies that were manufactured. It became the result. There was an opinion that the two could not be distinguished.

  After ingesting foods containing edible wood flour in this study, there were some who felt self-reported but bowel movements improved.

  In addition, when several pet dogs were provided with cookies containing edible wood flour, they consumed the same amount or more than ordinary cookies that did not contain edible wood flour.
