Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain food and drink suitable for beauty skin by adding animal mucous substance. CONSTITUTION:Cartilage of animal is smothered and hydrolyzed in the presence of alkali, then resultant hydrolysate is once neutralized, thus undissolved component is removed and ethanol is added to obtain animal mucous substance as precipitation. Then, resultant animal mucous substance is added to raw material of food such as boiled rice, bread, noodles, cake or drink, etc., to afford the aimed food and drink.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION ■ Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to foods and drinks that improve the skin by regularly consuming them.

■ Conventional technology and its challenges Generally, as we age, skin gradually loses its moisture and becomes dull and coarse in texture. This is thought to be due to a decrease in mucopolysaccharides present in the skin, leading to a loss of moisture in the skin. According to recent research, it is appropriate for the stratum corneum of the skin to contain 10 to 20% water, which makes the skin smooth and moisturized.

Mucopolysaccharides are the main components of animal sticky substances, including chondroitin'/a acid, hyaluronic acid, heparic acid,
These include keratoliiiic acids, all of which have moisturizing properties.

Conventionally, cosmetics containing these mucopolysaccharides have been used to directly physically protect the skin, or these ingredients have been absorbed transdermally to achieve the goal of beautiful skin.

In the present invention, by adding such skin-beautifying substances to ordinary food and drink and ingesting them into the body through oral ingestion, which was not conventionally layered, the skin-beautifying effect is naturally expressed. . It was completely unknown in the past that such oral administration also has a beautifying effect on the skin.

■ Means for Solving Problems Animal viscous substances originate from tissues such as the umbilical cord, skin, ligaments, fascia, aorta, and heart valves, as well as shark skin, whale cartilage, cockscomb, etc.

The first invention of the present application (the invention described in ■ in the claims)
The invention described in ① above is referred to as the second invention.

The same applies hereinafter), the cartilage is used regardless of its origin, and the second invention particularly uses cartilage,
The adjustment method is also specific, as described below.

First, raw cartilage is steamed and hydrolyzed in the presence of an alkali. For example, the concentration is about 30 to 60% of that of sodium hydroxide, and the temperature is maintained at 40° C. for about 1.5 hours. After neutralizing this, ethanol is added to precipitate the viscous substance.
Separate. It is preferable to add ethanol in two stages. That is, as a first step, approximately 95% ethanol is added, and then the resulting precipitate is re-extracted with approximately 75% ethanol and the dissolution valve is removed. The remaining precipitate is the viscous substance used in the second invention, and has an approximate molecular weight of 20,
The ingredients are approximately as follows.

Chondroitin sulfate B 60% hyaluronic acid
1% Heparin M 5% Keratosulfate 9% Crude protein (amino acids) 25% In actual use, stool is prepared by adding an excipient such as dextrin and pulverizing it by means such as spray drying.

Such animal viscous substances are usually present in approximately 0.0% of food and drink.
Add 1% to 10%. The intake method may be the same as usual, and the food and drink to which it is added are not specific. That is, there are cooked rice, bread, noodles, sweets, drinks, and others.

(2) Effect The details of how the food and drink of the present invention exhibits a beautifying effect after being orally ingested are not yet known. Animal viscous substances have large molecular weights, so they are likely to be broken down and absorbed in the stomach and intestines, but where in the body are they resynthesized, and how do the resynthesized substances reach the skin? Future research will provide information on why the skin-beautifying effect is produced, or for other reasons.

■ Examples and effects of the present invention A jelly was prepared using the following formulation.

Fruit juice 12.8% Citric acid 0.2% Sodium citrate 0.2% Pectin 1.3% Malt M 4.2% Granule'l11i 47.8% Starch syrup
30.7% Animal cartilage extract 2.5% Fragrance 0.3% Total 100.0% However, the above animal cartilage extract uses cartilage from the dorsal and pectoral fins of the blue shark, and sodium hydroxide is added to it. It was extracted by adding a 50% solution of ethanol, steaming as described above, and collecting the ethanol precipitate.

The number of panels (test subjects) for determining the skin beautification effect is 10 to 60.
There were 91 young women.

The administration method is to take two pieces of the above jelly every day (one piece weighs 10
g) by continuous feeding for 8 weeks. The total intake of animal cartilage during the period was 28g per panelist.

After the test period ended, we conducted a questionnaire survey of all the panel members, and the results are as shown in the table below.

Table M1 In addition, the cortical surface was separately observed for 40 out of 1 Panel 9 participants. That is, a mixture of a fluid silicone precision impression material (trade name: Xanthoblene Plus (registered trademark)) and a silicone impression hardening agent (trade name: Elastomer Hardener (registered trademark)) was placed in a circle with a diameter of 40 m in the center of the cheek. It was applied to a shape, and after it had completely cured, it was peeled off to create a mold of the skin surface. Two such molds were made before the start of the test and at the end of the test, and as a result of comparing and observing these two molds using a microscope and mirror for actual observation, the results were determined as shown in the table below. Table 2 “My skin condition has improved” and “My skin condition has improved somewhat” in Table 1
The total number of ``effective for beautiful skin'' and ``slightly effective for beautiful skin'' in Table 2 is 65% of the total, and the ratios for both are almost the same. It is considered that the skin beautification effect is expressed at approximately a certain rate. An example using a mold is shown in the attached drawing.
