Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Field of Application The present invention comprises granular hemp seeds obtained by physically removing the hard shell from hemp seeds, which are seeds of cannabis plants, by an impact method, and the hemp seeds. Regarding food.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION With the Westernization of Japanese eating habits, so-called adult diseases such as heart disease, hypertension, arteriosclerosis, and diabetes are on the rise.

Under these circumstances, unsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic acid, linolenic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid, and docosapentaenoic acid are attracting attention because of their antihypertensive, cholesterol-lowering, and antithrombotic effects. Fish oil, lean fish, perilla, sesame, flax, sesame, safflower oil, soybean oil, etc. that contain a large amount of these unsaturated fatty acids have been evaluated as health foods.

By the way, hemp seeds, which are the seeds of the cannabis plant, have a rugby ball-like shape with a pointed tip, about 5 centimeters long and a diameter of about 3 centimeters in the center, and are covered with a hard shell about 1 centimeters thick. ing. Hemp seeds have a high fat and oil content of 30-35%, and contain 49.8% of the unsaturated fatty acids linoleic acid and 22.8% of linolenic acid (Kagaku Daiji Volume 1, page 56, 1968) Kyoritsu Publishing Co., Ltd.). Until now, there was no way to remove the hard shell of hemp seeds, so their use as food was limited, and hemp seeds were used as an ingredient in Nikko's Shichimi Chili Pepper with the shell slightly intact. It's nothing more than that.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In order to expand the range of uses of hemp seeds as food, a means to remove the hard shell is desired.

Means for Solving the Problems As a result of research, the present inventors have discovered a method for effectively removing the hard shells of hemp seeds. In addition, granular hemp seeds obtained by removing the hard shell (hereinafter referred to as granular hemp seeds) are as stable as hemp seeds with hard shells (hereinafter referred to as ordinary hemp seeds). As shown in Table 1, the present invention was completed by discovering that it has a high content of linoleic acid and linolenic acid, has a wide range of uses as a food, and is easy to eat.

It is produced as a mixture with By sieving this mixture, the divided parts can be removed and only the original form can be preserved. Also, add dextrin or cyclodextrin as necessary,
It can also be made into a powder by drying after colloid milling. Furthermore, roasted hemp seeds can be treated in the same manner as described above to produce roasted granular hemp seeds or powdered hemp seeds.

In order to test the stability of the granulated hemp seeds of the present invention, they were stored in a polyethylene bottle in a thermostat at 40°C, and the amounts of linoleic acid, linolenic acid, oleic acid, and stearic acid were measured over time. did. As controls, regular hemp seeds (with shells) and powdered regular hemp seeds (in powder form) were used. The results are shown in Table 2.

(Left below) After physically destroying the hard shell of the granulated hemp seeds of the present invention by impact method,
Table 2 Stability comparison of fatty acids (residual rate %) The invented granular hemp seeds were as stable as regular hemp seeds, but
Powdered regular hemp seeds had a strong denatured odor and were extremely unstable. Furthermore, no difference was observed between the shelled and granular forms in terms of color, odor, and taste.

In addition, for the purpose of determining the effect of adding granular hemp seeds of the present invention to foods, granular hemp seeds or regular hemp seeds were added to miso, and the content of linoleic acid and linolenic acid in the miso was measured 6 weeks later. . As a result, in the case of granulated hemp seeds, 25% and 50% of the linoleic acid and linolenic acid in the hemp seeds were eluted, giving it a significantly richer taste, whereas the linoleic acid and linolenic acid in the regular hemp seeds were found to be eluted. No acid was eluted.

The granulated hemp seeds of the present invention can be eaten as is, but they can also be added to buns, cookies, dressings, pound cakes, and the like.

The amount added to the food can be appropriately selected as required, but it is preferably 0.1 to 25% of the total weight of the food.

Next, production examples and usage examples of the granular hemp seeds of the present invention will be specifically explained using Examples.

Example 1 Hemp seeds 21709 with a size of 8 to 12 mesh were passed through an 8 mesh screen using an oscillator (Kikusui Seisakusho), the hard shells were physically destroyed (impact method), and then sieved through a 12 mesh sieve. do.

The hard shells of the above samples were air-sorted using a suction-type wind sorter (Harashima Electric Industry Co., Ltd.) at a wind speed of 3.6 m/s and a sample supply rate of 500 Q/h.Subsequently, the hard shells were sorted using a gravity sorting machine (｝l｝l-30).
