Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

[Industrial field of application] The present invention cultivates mushrooms using steamed threshed coix as a culture medium, and the original medicinal raw material of coix, the value as a drug, and the components produced by the culturing of the mushrooms are added to produce a food product. The present invention relates to nutrition-enhanced pearl barley with improved taste.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, pearl barley has been threshed and cooked for use as food. Moreover, the extract obtained by hot water extraction is concentrated and dried into a powder, which is a crude drug called Yokuinin, which is used as a drainage, anti-inflammatory, tonic, and analgesic drug. On the other hand, mushrooms such as shiitake mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, nameko mushrooms, shimeji mushrooms, and maitake mushrooms are artificially mass-produced by using a persimmon tree, sawdust, or the like as a culture substrate.

[0003]

However, since this kind of crude drug has a slow effect, continuous ingestion is gentle and a reliable effect can be expected.
Therefore, in order to continuously promote health, it is preferable to take adlay itself as a food directly in contact with daily life, rather than taking Yokuinin as a medicine. Depending on the processing method, adlay itself is a food with a unique fragrance, but it is by no means established as a delicious food in the conventional diet. In addition, among the fungi, mushrooms have a remarkable medicinal effect, but unlike ordinary mushrooms,
Since mycorrhiza is used as a raw material for crude drugs without forming fruiting bodies, it is a valuable crude drug and is difficult to obtain easily.

Therefore, there has been a demand for a technique of processing adlays into a state in which they would like to eat them on a daily basis and, if possible, to add the ingredients of the boiled peony and, if necessary, to add the nutrients that are still insufficient.

[0005]

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention is intended to solve the above-mentioned problems, and its constitution is obtained by inoculating and cultivating a fungus, particularly a scale, in a culture medium containing steamed threshed coix as a main component. Mushroom fungus to the component, especially the addition of a special component derived from the flesh roe, the component as a food is enhanced, and is characterized by obtaining pearl barley with improved texture,
Furthermore, this cultured adlay is dried, and other food materials or nutrients are added if necessary.

The pearl barley in the present invention is a seed of a plant belonging to the family Gionaceae generally called pigeon barley or Shikoku barley. Drainage,
Used as a raw material for Yokuinin, a herbal medicine that has anti-inflammatory, tonic and analgesic effects. It is possible to eat the threshed and steamed product as it is, but its taste is far inferior to that of rice and the like. In the present invention, threshed steamed pearl barley is used as a main culture medium, and other nutrients for mushrooms are added to the culture medium, or other components for improving texture after culturing mushrooms are added. Alternatively, other culture media such as barley, rice bran, and rice may be added to the adlay to some extent as long as the main culture medium is adlay.

In the present invention, threshed adlay is steamed, and this is used as a medium for inoculation with the fungus to proliferate, whereby both the adlay-derived component and the used fungus-derived component are contained, and the flavor is excellent. The result is a significantly improved food product.

[0008] Examples of the fungi which are propagated using adlay as a medium include 苯 苓, kawatake mushroom, doll mushroom, maitake mushroom, shiitake mushroom, and litchi mushroom. In particular, 苯 苓 belongs to fungi, but does not form fruiting bodies and forms a mycelium called mycorrhiza in the ground, and this mycelium has a diuretic, spleen, and mentally stable effect It will be. However, the mycorrhizal roots of Furei are not easily obtained in nature, and are one of the valuable herbal medicines. In addition, litchi mushrooms, agaricus and the like are not mere edible mushrooms but have anti-cancer action and other pharmacological actions, but they are not easily available mushrooms.

In the present invention, the threshed pearl barley is first washed with water and then immersed overnight in water or warm water to absorb water sufficiently. On this occasion,
If necessary, other culture components and nutrient sources may be added. Then drain the water and fill a heat resistant plastic bag.
Sterilize at ~ 125 ° C for 10 to 40 minutes, preferably 15 to 30 minutes and cool to prepare the culture medium. This culture medium is inoculated with inoculum prepared in advance for culturing, the bag mouth is closed to prevent invasion of various bacteria, and the culture is hermetically sealed so that air can flow. As a bag satisfying such a condition, there is a bag made of a plastic film in which a hole is formed above the site where the culture medium enters, the hole is blocked with a microporous filter that allows air to pass therethrough, and the like. Optimal.

The culturing temperature and the number of culturing days vary depending on the type of the fungus. For example, in the case of Fukuryo, when the culture is carried out at 20 to 28 ° C. for about 20 days, mycelium grows, and a culture which is almost white and soft and has a little sourness can be obtained. This culture has a significantly improved texture compared to the steamed pearl barley and can be eaten as it is, but when it is dried, the storage stability is improved.

As a drying method, means such as hot air drying, freeze drying, and vacuum drying can be appropriately selected, and a fragrant granular material having a crispy feel can be obtained. When this is crushed and other deficient nutrients and food materials are added and molded into granules, processed pearl barley that is easier to eat as snack snacks and the like can be obtained.

[0012]

The present invention comprises cultivating a mushroom and other mushrooms as a culture medium of a pearl millet that has been threshed and steamed, and is dried when the mycelium is fully rotated and becomes a koji-like form. Along with the foods that have a combination of rare mushroom ingredients and the ingredients that are unique to the types of mushrooms used with pearl barley, along with improving the texture of the pearl barley itself by culturing the mushrooms, conventional pearl barley It makes it much tastier and easier to eat, facilitates continuous ingestion, and enhances its nutritional and pharmacological components. Furthermore, a more preferable food can be obtained by adding a nutrient such as ascorbic acid or a seasoning.

[0013]

[Examples] Threshed pearl barley was immersed in water overnight to absorb water sufficiently. After draining, the culture bag was filled and sterilized at 120 ° C. for 20 minutes. The culture bag used was a polypropylene bag in which a perforation having a diameter of about 2.5 cm was provided at a position of about 1/3 from the bag mouth, and a microporous film was welded to cover the perforation. After cooling, inoculate the inoculum of 苓 苣, which was prepared in advance, and close the bag mouth to culture at 20-28 ℃.
The mycelium grew over the course of the day and the whole became white rice malt.

The pH of the steamed pearl barley was 5.5 and the ergosterol content was 0.
Became 3.8 and the ergosterol content was 40 IU /
It became 100g. Further, when culturing was carried out in the same manner as in the above-mentioned example except that Shiitake fungus was used instead of B. gonorrhoeae, the result of the culturing was pH 4.2 and ergosterol content of 44 IU / 100 g.

This pearl barley roe culture is freeze-dried to give a powder, and 50 kg of ascorbic acid, 40 kg of lemon powder, 60 kg of sugar, 12 g of riboflavin, and 30 kg of lactic acid bacterium powder are mixed with 100 kg of this powder raw material, and granules are easy to eat when granulated. A food product was obtained. Due to the synergistic effect of ascorbic acid and other vitamin agents and lactic acid bacteria powder added to this food, the nutritionally-enriched processed adlay, which was suitable for beauty and health, was obtained.

The results of component analysis of the coix syrup fermented granules of this example were as follows. Water 3.3% (vacuum heat drying method) Protein 6.0% (Kjeldahl method) Fat 1.4% (Soxhlet extraction method) Ash 0.7% (direct ashing method) Carbohydrate 88.6% Total ascorbic acid 17 .8% (high performance liquid chromatograph) General bacteria count (viable count) 300 or less / g (standard agar plate culture method) Bifidobacteria count 1.5 × 10 ⁸ / g (BL agar plate anaerobic culture method)

[0017]

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, foods suitable for beauty and health due to the synergistic effect of the components unique to adlay and the component of the used fungus and the component obtained by culturing the specific fungus with adlay as the culture medium. In addition, the texture of pearl barley itself is remarkably improved, and a nutritionally enriched pearl barley that is easy to eat continuously is obtained.
