CONSTITUTION:The aimed drink and food obtained by adding a thiamine derivative to drink and food using maltitol as a sweetener, preferably at an amount of 0.03-20mg per 1g of maltitol.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to low-calorie food and drink;
This invention relates to a low-strength food and drink that uses maltitol as a sweetener.

[Prior art and its problems] Maltitol is a sugar alcohol obtained by reducing maltose, and its sweetness is similar to that of sugar, but it is difficult to digest and absorb in the gastrointestinal tract and is difficult to ferment by oral bacteria. There is.

Therefore, maltitol is widely used as an artificial sweetener in low calorie foods, diet foods, low caries foods, functional foods, etc., and is especially suitable for diabetics, obese people, people with adult diseases and tooth decay. It is a calorie sweetener.

However, if you eat or drink foods containing maltitol as a sweetener, maltitol itself has a stool softening effect, so it may cause temporary diarrhea symptoms, and in some cases, it may cause symptoms such as abdominal bloating and nausea. may cause unpleasant symptoms.

Therefore, although maltitol is an excellent low-calorie sweetener that exhibits a sweetness similar to sugar, it is difficult to use it as a sweetener for foods that are consumed in large amounts, and its range of use has been limited.

[Problem to be solved by the invention and means for solving the problem] In view of the above-mentioned circumstances, the present inventor has conducted extensive studies on a method for suppressing abdominal symptoms such as diarrhea even when continuously eating and drinking foods containing maltitol as a sweetener. As a result, they discovered that abdominal discomfort caused by maltitol can be prevented by using a specific vitamin in combination, leading to the completion of the present invention.

That is, the gist of the present invention resides in a low-calorie food and drink that uses maltitol as a sweetening agent and is characterized in that it contains a thiamine derivative.

Hereinafter, the configuration of the present invention will be explained in detail.

Maltitol used as a sweetener in the present invention is a sugar alcohol produced by reducing maltidose, and is usually
You can use commercially available ones. Does the amount of maltitol in foods and drinks vary depending on the type and form of the food?
For adults, it is desirable to adjust the amount of food and drink per day to be in the range of 3 to 40Q, preferably 5 to 30Q.If the amount of food and drink per day is more than 40CI, it is recommended that the amount of food and drink per day is adjusted to be within the range of 3 to 40Q, preferably 5 to 30Q. Unable to suppress, on the other hand, 3
If it is less than q, it is difficult to obtain the desired sweetness.

In the present invention, the presence of a thiamine derivative together with the above-mentioned maltitol is an essential requirement. Examples of the thiamine derivative include thiamine hydrochloride, thiamine nitrate, bisthiamine nitrate, thiamine disulfide,
Thiamine dicetyl sulfate salt, dicethiamine hydrochloride,
Examples include fursultiamine hydrochloride, octothiamine, cichotiamine, bisbutiamine, bisbentiamine, fursultiamine, prosultiamine, and benfotiamine. The usage fee for adults is usually 0.1 mg per day.
200 mC1, preferably 1 mg to 10 QmΩ.

If the amount used is less than 0.1 mQ, the effect of suppressing the above-mentioned side effects cannot be expected to be very high, and conversely, even if the amount is more than 200 mg, the effect of suppressing the above-mentioned side effects will not change much, which is not economical. In addition, the amount of thiamine derivatives to be added to maltitol is usually 0.01/q [maltitol].
~3omc+, preferably 0.03~20r+'l Q
is desirable. In short, in the case of the present invention, excellent effects are exhibited by coexisting the thiamine derivative in an amount corresponding to the amount of maltitol used. Examples of the foods and drinks targeted by the present invention include low-calorie foods, diet foods, low-life caries-prone foods, functional foods, and pharmaceuticals. ,
Examples include various forms such as paste, cream, and liquid. Specific examples include juice, coffee, drinking water such as lactic acid bacteria drinks, confectionery such as biscuits, kutsky, chocolate, charasle, candy, donuts, jam, marmalade, bread, noodles, ham, sausage, kamaboko, and chikuwa. Processed foods such as powdered juice, powdered soup, powdered coffee, powdered shiruko and other instant foods, pharmaceuticals such as vitamins (e.g. Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Guidelines 1989 Edition, p. 284-2992, edited by Japan Compendium Association, published by Yakugyo Jihosha) etc. Each of the foods and drinks contains necessary amounts of commonly used ingredients, and also contains maltitol and a thiamine derivative, which are the compounding agents of the present invention. Furthermore, if necessary, for example, organic acids such as citric acid, malic acid, tartaric acid, and fumaric acid and/or salts thereof, methyl paraoxybenzoate,
Preservatives such as ethyl paraoxybenzoate, propyl paraoxybenzoate, sorbic acid, and sodium benzoate, fragrances, and the like may be added as appropriate. Furthermore, vitamin B
2. More excellent effects can be obtained by incorporating vitamin Bε or its derivatives.

One of the suitable foods and drinks of the present invention is a drink, and in this case, the amount of maltitol blended is usually 3 to 40 g per drink, and the amount of thiamine derivative blended is , is usually 1 to 100 mg. Note that both maltitol and thiamine derivatives are water-soluble, and both can be made into a completely dissolved and uniform drink.

[Effects of the Invention] According to the present invention, abdominal complaints such as diarrhea caused by the action of maltitol can be suppressed by allowing a small amount of a thiamine derivative to coexist in foods and drinks that use maltitol as a sweetener. Therefore, maltitol can be used in foods that are eaten in large amounts, and abdominal discomfort can be prevented even if the food is eaten and eaten continuously for a long period of time. Therefore, the scope of use of maltitol as a sweetener can be expanded.

Furthermore, the present invention also has the effect that the storage stability of maltitol can be improved by using a thiamine derivative in combination.
