Description

本発明は、こんにゃく粉及びこんにゃく加工品の産地を判別する方法に関する。具体的には、こんにゃく粉及びこんにゃく加工品の産地が日本であるか否かを判別する方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a method for determining the production area of konjac flour and processed konjac products. Specifically, the present invention relates to a method for determining whether or not the production area of konjac flour and processed konjac products is Japan.

こんにゃく等のこんにゃく加工品は従来から我が国において和食の材料として用いられて食されており、近頃は、低カロリーで食物繊維が豊富であり、かつ、満腹感が得られることからダイエット食品としても注目を集め、こんにゃくだけでなく、様々な種類のこんにゃく加工品が製造販売されている。
こんにゃくやしらたき等のこんにゃく加工品の原料となるこんにゃく粉は、蒟蒻芋から作られる。
上記したこんにゃく加工品の原料となるこんにゃく粉は、日本国内で生産されたものだけでなく、海外からも輸入されている。具体的には、例えば、中国、ミャンマー、ラオス等から輸入されており、各国から輸入したこんにゃく粉を単独で使用することもあれば、輸入したこんにゃく粉に日本国産のこんにゃく粉を混ぜて使用することもある。
このように日本国内において、様々なこんにゃく加工品の材料として利用され、かつ、その原料の産地が日本国内に限られず、輸入したものもあるこんにゃく粉及びこんにゃく加工品には、食品表示法の食品表示基準第3条により、農産加工品の一つとして原料原産地名を表示することが義務付けられている。
しかし、原産地が表示されていても、それを裏付ける根拠がなければ、原産地偽装の心配があるため、消費者及び取引者は安心することができない。
このため、表示された原産地を科学的に裏付けることが必要であるが、こんにゃく粉及びこんにゃく加工品の産地を科学的に特定して判別する方法は未だ開発されていない。
Processed konnyaku products such as konnyaku have traditionally been used as ingredients for Japanese food in Japan, and these days, they are also attracting attention as diet foods because they are low in calories, rich in dietary fiber, and give a feeling of fullness. Not only konnyaku but also various kinds of processed konnyaku products are manufactured and sold.
Konjac flour, which is the raw material for processed konjac products such as konjac and shirataki noodles, is made from konjac potatoes.
The konjac flour, which is the raw material for the above-mentioned processed konjac products, is imported not only from Japan but also from overseas. Specifically, for example, konjac flour imported from China, Myanmar, Laos, etc. may be used alone, or konjac flour imported from Japan may be mixed with konjac flour produced in Japan. Sometimes.
In this way, konjac flour and processed konjac products that are used as materials for various processed konjac products in Japan, and the production areas of the raw materials are not limited to Japan, and some of them are imported, are foods under the Food Labeling Law. According to Article 3 of the labeling standard, it is obligatory to label the name of the place of origin of the raw material as one of the processed agricultural products.
However, even if the place of origin is displayed, if there is no basis to support it, consumers and traders cannot be relieved because there is a concern that the place of origin is disguised.
For this reason, it is necessary to scientifically support the indicated place of origin, but a method for scientifically identifying and distinguishing the place of origin of konjac flour and processed konjac products has not yet been developed.

特許第5558991号公報Japanese Patent No. 5558991

こんにゃく粉のような食品の産地を判別する方法として、安定同位体比を測定して、その測定結果からワカメの産地を特定する方法が既に提案されている(特許文献1)。
安定同位体は、同じ性質でありながら中性子の数が異なるために重さ(質量)が異なる原子の中で、不安定な放射性同位体と異なり、安定して存在する同位体であり、窒素、炭素、酸素の各原子には、それぞれ質量の異なる安定同位体が存在し、自然界における、同一の原子についての質量の異なる安定同位体の存在比率は、地理的要因によって変動することが知られており、世界中の各地域において、窒素、炭素、酸素の安定同位体の比率は僅かづつ異なる。
特許文献1に開示された方法は、この安定同位体比を利用して、ワカメの産地を特定するものである。
しかし、全ての食品が、必ずしもワカメのように安定同位体の比率だけで産地を特定することができるわけではない。
発明者等の研究によれば、こんにゃく及びこんにゃく加工品については、安定同位体比だけでは産地を十分な確率で特定することができなかった。
本発明は、上記した従来の問題点を解決し、100%又はそれに近い割合で、産地を特定することができるこんにゃく粉及びこんにゃく加工品の産地判別方法を提供することを目的としている。
As a method for determining the production area of foods such as konjac flour, a method of measuring a stable isotope ratio and specifying the production area of wakame seaweed from the measurement result has already been proposed (Patent Document 1).
Stable isotopes are isotopes that exist stably, unlike unstable radioactive isotopes, among atoms with the same properties but different weights (mass) due to different numbers of neutrons. It is known that stable isotopes with different masses exist in each atom of carbon and oxygen, and the abundance ratio of stable isotopes with different masses for the same atom in nature varies depending on geographical factors. In each region of the world, the proportions of stable isotopes of nitrogen, carbon and oxygen are slightly different.
The method disclosed in Patent Document 1 utilizes this stable isotope ratio to identify the production area of wakame seaweed.
However, not all foods can be identified by the ratio of stable isotopes like wakame seaweed.
According to the research by the inventors, it was not possible to identify the production area of konjac and processed konjac products with sufficient probability only by the stable isotope ratio.
An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems and to provide a method for determining the production area of konjac flour and processed konjac products, which can specify the production area at 100% or a ratio close to the above.

上記した目的を達成するために、本発明に係るこんにゃく粉の産地判別方法は、判別対象のこんにゃく粉における窒素及び炭素の安定同位体比を測定すると共に、同こんにゃく粉における窒素含有量を測定し、
測定した窒素及び炭素の安定同位対比並びに窒素含有量に基づいて、該判別対象のこんにゃく粉の産地が日本国であるか否かを判別することを特徴とする。
前記判別には、こんにゃく粉における窒素及び炭素の安定同位体比並びに窒素含有量を説明変数とする線形1次判別関数が使用され得、その場合、該関数が、日本国産のこんにゃく粉から成る群と、判別対象の国産のこんにゃく粉から成る群の中心座標を通り、最も良く前記2群を分けるように、各説明変数の係数が決定され得る。
判別対象のこんにゃく粉は、限定するものではないが、例えば、中国産又はミャンマー産であり得る。
In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the method for determining the origin of konjac flour according to the present invention measures the stable isotope ratios of nitrogen and carbon in the konjac flour to be discriminated, and also measures the nitrogen content in the konjac flour. ,
Based on the measured stable isotope ratio of nitrogen and carbon and the nitrogen content, it is characterized in that it is determined whether or not the production area of the konjac flour to be discriminated is Japan.
For the discrimination, a linear linear discriminant function using the stable isotope ratio of nitrogen and carbon in konjac flour and the nitrogen content as explanatory variables can be used, in which case the function is a group consisting of konjac flour produced in Japan. The coefficient of each explanatory variable can be determined so as to pass through the center coordinates of the group consisting of domestically produced konjac flour to be discriminated and to divide the two groups best.
The konjac flour to be discriminated may be, for example, from China or Myanmar, for example, without limitation.

前記こんにゃく加工品には、例えば、こんにゃく、白滝、こんにゃくゼリー及びこんにゃくペースト等が含まれる。
Further, the method for determining the origin of the processed konjac product according to the present invention is as follows.
The processed konjac product to be discriminated produced using konjac flour is freeze-dried and then crushed, and the crushed processed konjac product is used to measure the stable isotope ratios of nitrogen and carbon in the processed konjac product, and the same konjac. Measure the nitrogen content in the processed product and
Based on the measured stable isotope ratio of nitrogen and carbon and the nitrogen content, it is characterized in that it is determined whether or not the production area of the konjac flour used in the processed konjac product to be discriminated is Japan.
For the discrimination, a linear linear discriminant function using the stable isotope ratio of nitrogen and carbon in the processed konjac product and the nitrogen content as explanatory variables can be used, in which case, the function uses konjac flour produced in Japan. The coefficient of each explanatory variable can be determined so as to best separate the two groups through the center coordinates of the group consisting of processed konjac products and the group consisting of processed konjac products using domestic konjac flour to be discriminated. ..
The konjac flour used as a raw material for the processed konjac product to be discriminated may be, for example, from China or Myanmar, for example, without limitation.
The processed konjac product includes, for example, konjac, Shirataki noodles, konjac jelly, konjac paste and the like.

本発明に係るこんにゃく粉の産地判別方法は、判別対象のこんにゃく粉における窒素及び炭素の安定同位体比を測定すると共に、同こんにゃく粉における窒素含有量を測定し、測定した窒素及び炭素の安定同位対比並びに窒素含有量に基づいて、該判別対象のこんにゃく粉の産地が日本国であるか否かを判別するものであるところ、安定同位体比が地理的要因により変動することは知られており、特に、窒素の安定同位体比は食物連鎖が要因となって濃縮され、炭素の安定同位体比はその食物が生産された植物の固有値を示すことが知られている。
しかしながら、発明者等の研究によればこんにゃく粉の場合には、窒素及び炭素の安定同位体比だけでは、十分な産地判別を行うことができないことが分かっており、さらに窒素含有量を判別材料に加えることにより実用に耐え得る十分な判別を行うことができることが分かった。
これにより、判別対象のこんにゃく粉の産地が日本国であるか否かを正確に判別することが可能になる。
具体的には、こんにゃく粉における窒素及び炭素の安定同位体比並びに窒素含有量を説明変数とする線形1次判別関数を前記判別に使用し、該関数が、日本国産のこんにゃく粉から成る群と、判別対象の国産のこんにゃく粉から成る群の中心座標を通り、最も良く前記2群を分けるように、各説明変数の係数を決定することで、判別対象のこんにゃく粉における窒素及び炭素の安定同位体比並びに窒素含有量に基づいて、該判別対象のこんにゃく粉の産地が日本国であるか否かを判別することが可能になる。
権利範囲を限定するものではないが、判別対象のこんにゃく粉は、例えば、中国産又はミャンマー産であり得る。
In the method for determining the origin of konjac flour according to the present invention, the stable isotope ratio of nitrogen and carbon in the konjac flour to be discriminated is measured, and the nitrogen content in the konjac flour is measured, and the measured stable isotope ratio of nitrogen and carbon is measured. It is known that the stable isotope ratio fluctuates due to geographical factors when it is determined whether or not the production area of the konjac flour to be discriminated is Japan based on the comparison and the nitrogen content. In particular, it is known that the stable isotope ratio of nitrogen is enriched due to the food chain, and the stable isotope ratio of carbon shows the intrinsic value of the plant from which the food is produced.
However, according to the research by the inventors, it is known that in the case of konjac flour, it is not possible to sufficiently determine the production area only by the stable isotope ratios of nitrogen and carbon, and further, the nitrogen content can be determined. It was found that by adding to, it is possible to make a sufficient discrimination that can withstand practical use.
This makes it possible to accurately determine whether or not the production area of the konjac flour to be discriminated is Japan.
Specifically, a linear linear discriminant function using the stable isotope ratio of nitrogen and carbon in konjac flour and the nitrogen content as explanatory variables is used for the discrimination, and the function is a group consisting of konjac flour produced in Japan. By determining the coefficient of each explanatory variable so as to pass through the center coordinates of the group consisting of domestically produced konjac flour to be discriminated and to divide the two groups best, stable isotopes of nitrogen and carbon in the konjac flour to be discriminated. Based on the body ratio and the nitrogen content, it becomes possible to determine whether or not the production area of the konjac flour to be discriminated is Japan.
Although not limiting the scope of rights, the konjac flour to be discriminated may be produced in China or Myanmar, for example.

また、本発明に係るこんにゃく加工品の産地判別方法は、こんにゃく粉を用いて製造した判別対象のこんにゃく加工品を凍結乾燥した後に粉砕し、該粉砕したこんにゃく加工品を用いて、こんにゃく加工品における窒素及び炭素の安定同位体比を測定すると共に、同こんにゃく加工品における窒素含有量を測定し、
測定した窒素及び炭素の安定同位対比並びに窒素含有量に基づいて、該判別対象のこんにゃく加工品に用いられているこんにゃく粉の産地が日本国であるか否かを判別する。
上記したようにこんにゃく加工品を一度凍結乾燥させてから粉砕したものを使用して、安定同位対比及び窒素含有量の測定を行っているため、加熱乾燥に比べてこんにゃく加工品の成分変化が著しく少なく、信頼性のある安定同位対比及び窒素含有量の測定を行うことが可能になり、結果として、正確な産地判別を行うことが可能になる。
こんにゃく加工品としては、限定をするわけではないが、前記こんにゃく加工品には、例えば、こんにゃく、白滝及びこんにゃくゼリー並びにこんにゃくペースト等が含まれる。
Further, in the method for determining the production area of the processed konjac product according to the present invention, the processed konjac product to be discriminated produced using konjac flour is freeze-dried and then crushed, and the crushed processed konjac product is used in the processed konjac product. The stable isotope ratios of nitrogen and carbon were measured, and the nitrogen content in the processed konjac product was measured.
Based on the measured stable isotope ratio of nitrogen and carbon and the nitrogen content, it is determined whether or not the production area of the konjac flour used in the processed konjac product to be discriminated is Japan.
As described above, the stable isotope ratio and nitrogen content are measured using the processed konjac product that has been freeze-dried and then crushed, so the composition of the processed konjac product changes significantly compared to heat-drying. It is possible to measure stable isotope ratio and nitrogen content with less and reliability, and as a result, it is possible to accurately determine the place of origin.
The processed konjac product is not limited, but the processed konjac product includes, for example, konjac, Shirataki noodles, konjac jelly, and konjac paste.

Hereinafter, a method for determining the origin of konjac flour and processed konjac product according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The method for determining the origin of konjac flour and processed konjac products according to the present invention is as follows.
The production areas of konjac flour and processed konjac products are determined by using the stable isotope ratios of nitrogen and carbon in the konjac flour and processed konjac products and the nitrogen content.

ここで「安定同位体」とは、同一の原子から成るため同じ性質をもちながら、中性子の数が異なるために質量が異なる原子が存在する同位体における安定した同位体を意味し、「安定同位体比」は、判別対象の物質における安定同位体の構成割合を意味する。具体的には、判別対象の物質における、窒素及び炭素の重い原子と軽い原子の構成比であり、この判別対処の物質における安定同位体組成と、国際原子力委員会により値が決定された標準物質の安定同位体組成との比を千分率で表した値(窒素:δ15N/炭素:δ13C)を用いて評価を行う。 Here, "stable isotope" means a stable isotope in an isotope in which atoms having different masses due to different numbers of neutrons have the same properties because they are composed of the same atom, and are "stable isotopes". "Body ratio" means the composition ratio of stable isotopes in the substance to be discriminated. Specifically, it is the composition ratio of heavy and light atoms of nitrogen and carbon in the substance to be discriminated, the stable isotope composition in the substance to deal with this discrimination, and the standard substance whose value has been determined by the International Atomic Energy Commission. The evaluation is performed using a value (nitrogen: δ15N / carbon: δ13C) expressed as a fraction of the ratio to the stable isotope composition of.

FIG. 3 is a graph showing the results of measuring the nitrogen and carbon contents of the konjac flour and the processed konjac product (konjac) (crushed after freeze-drying) produced using the konjac flour and konjac flour shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. .. The vertical axis is the nitrogen content and the horizontal axis is the carbon content.
As shown in FIG. 3, a significant difference in nitrogen content can be seen depending on the production area of the raw material.

図1~図3の測定結果から、原料の産地毎に窒素及び炭素の安定同位体比並びに窒素含有量に有意な差が見て取れる。
そこで、窒素及び炭素の安定同位体比並びに窒素含有量を説明変数として、日本国産のこんにゃく粉又はこんにゃく加工品と、他の特定の国産のこんにゃく粉又はこんにゃく加工品とを判別するために、線形1次判別にて判別関数を構築し、複数のサンプルに基づいて、各説明変数の係数を獲得した。
判別は、以下の方法で行う。
1.2群(日本国産のこんにゃく粉又はこんにゃく加工品群及び他の特定の国産のこんにゃく粉又はこんにゃく加工品群)の中心座標を算出する。
2.中心座標を通り、最も良く2群を分ける関数(判別式)を決める。
3.関数(判別式)に判別したいサンプルの座標を代入し、正なら日本国産、負なら他の特定の国産と判別する。
From the measurement results of FIGS. 1 to 3, it can be seen that there are significant differences in the stable isotope ratios of nitrogen and carbon and the nitrogen content in each production area of the raw material.
Therefore, in order to distinguish between Japanese domestic konjac flour or konjac processed products and other specific domestic konjac flour or konjac processed products using the stable isotope ratios of nitrogen and carbon and the nitrogen content as explanatory variables, a linear process is used. A discriminant function was constructed by linear discrimination, and the coefficient of each explanatory variable was obtained based on a plurality of samples.
The discrimination is performed by the following method.
1. Calculate the center coordinates of the group (Japanese konjac flour or konjac processed product group and other specific domestic konjac flour or konjac processed product group).
2. 2. Determine the function (discriminant) that best divides the two groups through the center coordinates.
3. 3. Substitute the coordinates of the sample you want to discriminate into the function (discriminant), and if it is positive, it is discriminated from Japan, and if it is negative, it is discriminated from another specific domestic product.

Figure 0007054516000016
The results shown in gray in Table 3 are erroneous discriminations.
As a result of actually determining the production area, as shown in Table 2,
For konjac flour, there is one sample that misidentified Myanmar konjac flour as Japanese domestic konjac flour in two variables.
One sample that misidentified Chinese konjac flour as Japanese domestic in quadrature
In the processed konjac product, there was one sample in which the processed konjac product produced in China was misidentified as domestically produced in Japan in a bivariate manner.
From the above results, it is possible to make a discrimination using the trivariates of the stable isotope ratio of nitrogen (σ15N), the stable isotope ratio of carbon (σ13C), and the nitrogen content (N%). Was confirmed to be appropriate.
In addition, the degree of contribution to discrimination correlates with the magnitude of the absolute value of the coefficient, and looking at each coefficient, the contribution of δ13C is large for konjac flour domestically produced: Chinese, and N% is large for domestically produced: Myanmar. .. For processed konjac products, the contribution of N% is large for domestic: Chinese products, and the contribution of δ13C is large for domestic: Myanmar products. In addition, δ15N also contributes greatly to the discrimination of domestically produced konjac flour: produced in Myanmar.
From this point as well, it is possible to make a discrimination using the trivariates of the stable isotope ratio of nitrogen (σ15N), the stable isotope ratio of carbon (σ13C), and the nitrogen content (N%). It turns out that it is appropriate for processed products.

次に、上記安定同位体比を測定するために使用した安定同位体比測定システムの構成について簡単に説明をする。
図4は、安定同位体比測定システムの構成を示す概略図である。
図面に示すように、この安定同位体比測定システムは、燃焼管1、還元管2、脱水管3、分離カラム4、熱伝導度検出器5、ガスボックス6、イオンビーム源7、マグネット8及び検出器9を有し、サンプルとしてのこんにゃく粉を燃焼管1に供給すると、燃焼管1においてサンプルを熱分解して酸化させ、COガス及びNOxガスを得る。
次いで、還元管2においてNOxガスを還元してNガスを得た後に、脱水管3において水分を除去する。
脱水管3を通過して水分が除去されたサンプルは、分離カラム4においてCOガスとNガスとに分離された後、さらに下流に送られる。
熱伝導度検出器5は、COガスとNガスとに分離されたサンプルガスの流量を検出し、ガスボックス6において、サンプルガスが希釈され、モニタリングガスが導入される。
サンプルガス及びモニタリングガスは、イオンビーム源7によってイオン化され、さらに、マグネット8がイオン化したガスに磁場をかけて安定同位体の核種を分離する。
検出器9は、質量数28の検出器(図示せず)及び質量数29の検出器(図示せず)を有し、これらの検出器でNを分子レベルで検出し、各検出器のクロマトグラムの面積比からσ15Nを計算により算出する。
また、検出器9は、質量数44の検出器(図示せず)、質量数45の検出器(図示せず)及び質量数46の検出器(図示せず)を有し、これらの検出器でCOを分子レベルで検出し、各検出器のクロマトグラムの面積比からσ13Cを計算により算出する。
天然に存在する物質の安定同位体の質量比は非常に小さく、実用上不便であるため、炭素であればVPDB(矢石という化石)、窒素であれば大気を標準物質として、標準物質に対するサンプルの安定同位体組成の比を千分率として表したものをδ13C及びδ15Nとする。
Next, the configuration of the stable isotope ratio measurement system used for measuring the stable isotope ratio will be briefly described.
FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram showing the configuration of a stable isotope ratio measurement system.
As shown in the drawing, this stable isotope ratio measuring system includes a combustion tube 1, a reduction tube 2, a dehydration tube 3, a separation column 4, a thermal conductivity detector 5, a gas box 6, an ion beam source 7, a magnet 8, and a magnet 8. When the detector 9 is provided and the konjac flour as a sample is supplied to the combustion tube 1, the sample is thermally decomposed and oxidized in the combustion tube 1 to obtain CO 2 gas and NOx gas.
Next, NOx gas is reduced in the reduction tube 2 to obtain N 2 gas, and then water is removed in the dehydration tube 3.
The sample from which water has been removed through the dehydration tube 3 is separated into CO 2 gas and N 2 gas in the separation column 4, and then sent further downstream.
The thermal conductivity detector 5 detects the flow rate of the sample gas separated into the CO 2 gas and the N 2 gas, and in the gas box 6, the sample gas is diluted and the monitoring gas is introduced.
The sample gas and the monitoring gas are ionized by the ion beam source 7, and the magnet 8 applies a magnetic field to the ionized gas to separate nuclides of stable isotopes.
The detector 9 has a detector having a mass number of 28 (not shown) and a detector having a mass number of 29 (not shown), and these detectors detect N2 at the molecular level, and the detector 9 is of each detector. Σ15N is calculated by calculation from the area ratio of the chromatogram.
Further, the detector 9 has a detector having a mass number of 44 (not shown), a detector having a mass number of 45 (not shown), and a detector having a mass number of 46 (not shown). CO 2 is detected at the molecular level, and σ13C is calculated from the area ratio of the chromatogram of each detector.
Since the mass ratio of stable isotopes of naturally occurring substances is very small and inconvenient for practical use, VPDB (fossil called Yaishi) is used for carbon, and the atmosphere is used as the standard substance for nitrogen. The ratio of stable isotope composition expressed as a fraction is δ13C and δ15N.
