Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a flavored salt having increased flavor and containing uniformly distributed flavoring component without considerably lowering the flowability of particles. CONSTITUTION:A flavor is mixed to a salt raw material obtained by mixing a porous substance such as calcium carbonate or dextrin to sodium chloride or an inorganic salt mixture obtained by mixing sodium chloride with one or more substances selected from potassium chloride, magnesium sulfate and calcium sulfate. As an alternative method, a flavor-containing material produced by impregnating a flavor in a porous substance such as calcium carbonate and dextrin is mixed with sodium chloride or an inorganic salt mixture obtained by mixing sodium chloride with one or more substances selected from potassium chloride, magnesium sulfate and calcium sulfate.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a scented salt obtained by adding and mixing a fragrance to a raw material salt.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a raw material salt for salt, generally, sodium chloride alone or an inorganic material prepared by mixing sodium chloride with one or more kinds of potassium chloride, magnesium sulfate, calcium sulfate and the like as required. A salt mixture is used.

By the way, in such a kind of raw material salt (sodium chloride, potassium chloride, magnesium sulfate, calcium sulfate, etc.), each raw material particle is non-porous.
In the raw material salt composed of such a non-porous substance, the fragrance component does not penetrate into the raw material particles, but it is possible to produce the scented salt by attaching the scent component to the surface of the raw material particles.

Further, as this type of scented salt, those disclosed in JP-A-61-141859 have been conventionally known. This publicly known scented salt (the name of the invention is scented salt) is obtained by adding a perfume component to a raw salt and imparting it with an aroma.

[0005]

However, in the scented salt produced by adding the perfume to the raw material salt consisting only of the non-porous substance as described above, the scent component adheres only to the surface of the raw material particles. , The scent retention is low. Further, the more the addition ratio of the fragrance is, the more the scent component can be attached to the surface of the raw material particles, but the fragrance (expensive)
There is a problem that when the amount of used is increased, the cost becomes high, and when a large amount of the fragrance is attached to the surface of the raw material particles, the fluidity of the product salt (sliding between particles) is deteriorated.

Further, the scented salt disclosed in JP-A-61-141859 is intended to improve the fragrance retaining property by imparting a scent with a transfer scent. In this known scented salt, Since the scent component adheres to the surface of the raw material particles due to the scent, the amount of the scent component attached cannot be arbitrarily determined, and there is a problem that the quality (the amount of the scent component attached) varies.

In view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, the invention of the present application is intended to enhance the fragrance retaining property and to make it possible to uniformly distribute the scent component without significantly reducing the fluidity between particles. The purpose is to provide scented salt.

[0008]

The scented salt of the invention of claim 1 is sodium chloride alone or an inorganic salt obtained by mixing sodium chloride with one or more of potassium chloride, magnesium sulfate and calcium sulfate. It is characterized in that a fragrance is mixed with a raw material salt obtained by mixing one or more kinds of a mixture and a porous substance such as calcium carbonate or dextrin.

The scented salt according to the second aspect of the present invention is sodium chloride alone, or an inorganic salt mixture obtained by mixing one or more of sodium chloride with potassium chloride, magnesium sulfate and calcium sulfate, calcium carbonate, It is characterized by mixing a perfume-containing substance in which a perfume is contained in a porous substance such as dextrin.

In each of the first and second aspects of the present invention, the inorganic salt mixture may be sodium chloride alone or a mixture of sodium chloride with one or more of potassium chloride, magnesium sulfate and calcium sulfate mixed. May be used. In addition, each raw material particle of these inorganic salt mixtures is non-porous.

As the porous substance, a porous inorganic substance such as calcium carbonate or a polysaccharide such as dextrin can be used. In such a porous material, many fine pores are formed in the raw material particles.

In the scented salt according to the first aspect of the present invention, the mixing ratio of the raw salt obtained by mixing the inorganic salt mixture and the porous substance is 40 to 99% of sodium chloride and 0 of potassium chloride by weight. ~ 59%, magnesium sulfate 0-20
%, Calcium sulfate is 0 to 5%, porous inorganic substance such as calcium carbonate is 0 to 50%, and polysaccharide such as dextrin is 0 to 50% (total 100%). The mixing ratio of the raw material salt can be appropriately set depending on, for example, the field of use, but at least sodium chloride and one kind of porous substance are required.

As the fragrance, mackerel oil, lime oil, lemon oil and other suitable extract fragrances can be used.

The weight ratio of the raw salt to the fragrance mixed with the raw salt is 80 to 99.99% of the raw salt and 0.
The range of 01 to 20% is desirable.

In the scented salt according to the first aspect of the invention, the raw salt is prepared by thoroughly stirring each component before adding the fragrance, and then adding the fragrance and further stirring the scented scent. Forms a salt.

In the salt with fragrance according to the second aspect of the present invention, the fragrance is added and mixed only to the porous substance in advance, and then the fragrance-containing material containing the scent component and the inorganic salt mixture are mixed. Forms a scented salt. In addition, like this,
After mixing the fragrance-containing material and the inorganic salt mixture, it is also possible to add and mix an appropriate amount of fragrance to the whole scented salt.

[0017]

In the scented salt of the invention of claim 1, since the fragrance component adheres to the surface of the inorganic salt mixture in the raw material salt and the scent component penetrates into the particles of the porous substance, The retention of the scent component is better than that of the scent component only attached to the surface of the raw material particles. Further, this scent component becomes a factor that hinders the fluidity of the raw material particles. However, if the scent component penetrates into the particles of the porous substance, the fluidity between the particles even if it is a scented salt. It will not be so disturbed.

In the scented salt according to the second aspect of the present invention, the scent component is contained only in the porous substance in the raw salt, and in this case, the scent component is not attached to the inorganic salt mixture. The fluidity between particles is further improved as compared with the case of claim 1. Moreover, after the fragrance-containing material and the inorganic salt mixture are mixed to produce a scented salt,
When a fragrance is further added to and mixed with the scented salt as a whole, the fluidity between the particles is somewhat worse than in the case where the fragrance is not added later, but is still better than in the case of claim 1.

[0019]

As described above, according to the scented salt of the present invention, since the scent component is retained in the particles of the porous substance mixed in the raw material salt, the scent retaining property becomes good. or,
Since the effect is large even with a small amount of scent component, the amount of expensive fragrance used can be reduced and a low-cost scented salt can be provided. Furthermore, since the scent component penetrates into the particles of the porous substance, the fluidity between the particles is good relative to the content of the scent component. Further, since the perfume-containing material in which the perfume is contained in the porous substance is uniformly distributed in the whole salt, there is an effect that the distribution of the scent component becomes uniform.
