Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a filmed aromatic refreshing food intended mainly for the prevention of bad breath and for mood change, which is convenient to carry and can be eaten in the public place without touching the eyes. Is.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, foods intended to prevent bad breath and to change the mood include chewing gum, candy, soft drinks, etc. There were only soft drinks that could be eaten without moving.

[0003]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In order to prevent bad breath and to change the mood in public, such as public places, it is required from the manners and etiquette that people do not touch the eyes. Soft drinks, which are fast-acting and can be eaten without chewing, are heavy, bulky and inconvenient to carry, and have the drawback that they cannot prevent bad breath and change the mood without touching the eyes. ..

The present invention can be quickly dissolved or disintegrated by saliva in the mouth, the components can be quickly spread in the mouth, and a pleasant fragrance and a refreshing sensation can be enjoyed. Further, the present invention is lightweight and can be made into a size that can be hidden in the palm of a hand and carried. It is an object of the present invention to provide a filmed aroma and refreshing food that is convenient and can prevent bad breath and change the mood even in public even in public.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides several kinds of polysaccharides such as carrageenan, pectin, pullulan and curdlan having a film forming ability, and xanthane gum, locust bean gum and the like. Viscous stabilizer,
It is a product obtained by dissolving a plasticizer such as oligosaccharide or sorbit, an emulsified flavor, a sweetener, an acidulant, and an extract, forming a film by a known film forming technique, and cutting the film so that it is hidden in the palm.

Carrageenan, pectin, which is capable of forming a film,
Polysaccharides such as pullulan and curdlan have a film thickness of 0.03 to
Since it becomes as thin as 0.05 mm, it is necessary to add a total of 5 to 7% in terms of solid content in order to mix the fragrances and extracts of aroma components so as to have the effect of preventing bad breath and mood change. The fragrance, which is an ingredient, is added in the form of an oil in order to impart resistance during drying of the filmed aromatic refreshing food.

Sweeteners are common sugar and glucose,
When added in a sweetness-sensitive amount, a large amount is needed, and it inhibits the film formation of polysaccharides. Therefore, the sweetness of licorice, asparatame, stevia, etc. is 300 or less than that of sugar or glucose.
Use twice as much sweetener.

[0008] The acidulant may be a commonly used acid such as citric acid, but the polysaccharide having a film-forming ability is used in a solution having a low pH (4.5 or less) due to a synergistic effect with temperature.
Since the intermolecular bond is hydrolyzed and loses its ability to form a film,
Limit the amount added so that the pH does not fall below 4.5.

In order to increase the amount of the sour agent added, there is a method of spraying the sour agent solution during the film drying of the aromatic refreshing food, in which case the added amount is 5% in terms of solid matter.
It is possible up to.

Further, the influence of salt concentration also inhibits the film-forming ability as in the case of acid, so that the addition amount is 0.8 to 10 in terms of solid matter.
Limit to 1.6%.

In order to improve the flexibility, moisture retention and moisture release of the film, it is effective to use a sugar alcohol such as sorbit as a plasticizer, and to use oligosaccharides or dextrin alone or in combination in addition to sorbit. is there. Also,
The amount of the plasticizer added is 1.8% in terms of solid matter, and if it exceeds 2%, the film will dissolve due to moisture absorption.

[0012] In order to form a film, it is necessary to dry the solution. For this drying, the solution is applied to a support. For that purpose, the viscosity of the solution is an important factor, and the thickening stability is obtained. Add agent. As the thickening stabilizer, all thickening stabilizers commonly used in foods such as xanthan gum and locust bean gum can be used, and the addition amount thereof is 6 to 8% in terms of solid matter.

The above-mentioned polysaccharide having a film-forming ability is 80% in terms of solid content when used alone. To control the dissolution rate of the film in the mouth, a plurality of polysaccharides may be mixed as described above. Added.

[0014]

In the present invention, as a polysaccharide capable of forming a film, carrageenan, pectin, pullulan, curdlan, etc. are used in a mixture of several kinds and formed into a film by a known film forming technique. ~ 0.05mm thin,
Since it is cut into a size that fits in the palm of your hand, it is lightweight and convenient to carry.

Further, since the aromatic refreshing food of the present invention is formed into a film and cut into the above-mentioned size and is composed of a polysaccharide, it can be easily put into the mouth even if it is put in the mouth in public, and is easily saliva without chewing. Dissolve in.

Further, since the emulsified flavors, sweeteners, acidulants and extracts are mixed as ingredients in the filmed aromatic refreshing food, they are dissolved by saliva and the ingredients spread quickly in the mouth to give aroma. And, you can enjoy a refreshing feeling, and you can quickly prevent bad breath and change your mood.

[0017] Further, by adding hardly soluble carrageenan and curdlan to pullulan having excellent water solubility at an arbitrary blending ratio, the dissolution rate in the mouth can be arbitrarily controlled.

[0018]

【Example】

A solution prepared by dissolving the above-mentioned components at 70 ° C.
As is well known, a blade applied to a rotating drum surface heated to 100 to 180 ° C. and further dried by blowing hot air of 100 to 180 ° C. on the upper part of the solution applied to the drum surface, and a blade pressed against the drum surface. By peeling the dry-molded film from the drum surface by applying cold air in parallel to the film while passing through the support roll, put it on the film surface of the support for drying and take it up with the support to the winding roller. Roll it up and roll it up.

Next, the roll-shaped film is slit to an arbitrary width and stored in a thermo-hygrostat for 2 to 3 weeks to dry the water of the film, and a certain water content is held so as to be properly machined to equilibrium state. And

Finally, the film slit into an arbitrary width is cut into a size that fits in the palm of the hand, and the film is filled in a container having the same size.

[0022]

The aromatic refreshing food of the present invention has a film thickness of 0.0.
Since it is a film of 3 to 0.05 mm in size and fits in the palm of a hand, it is convenient to carry and can be eaten casually in public in public places, which is against manners and etiquette. It can help prevent bad breath and change your mood.
