2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a means for preventing the generation of an unpleasant odor or eliminating the unpleasant odor, a method of masking the unpleasant odor with an aromatic substance, neutralization of a substance causing the unpleasant odor, oxidative decomposition and other There has been a method of deodorizing by a chemical reaction or fixing by adsorbing on an adsorbent such as activated carbon.

For the purpose of preventing bad breath, improving the flavor of foods and drinks, and preventing foul odors of pet animals, a deodorant that can be incorporated into foods, feeds, feeds, oral preparations and the like is used as a highly safe plant extract. The required research has been advanced, and as a result, green tea extract (Japanese Patent Publication No.
No. 8-18098), deodorants containing oolong tea extract, white velvet extract, persimmon tannin, soybean / cereal extract, spice extract and the like as active ingredients have been proposed.

However, these conventional plant extract type deodorants have not only insufficient use effects but also have peculiar odors, bitterness, astringency, etc., and when added in sufficient amounts to foods and oral preparations, There is a problem in that the effect of the addition target on the flavor and feeling of use is too large.

[0005]

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a novel deodorant which is not only excellent in use effect but also has less adverse effect on the flavor and feeling of use of the object to be added and is also excellent in safety. Especially.

[0006]

The novel deodorant successfully provided by the present invention is an extract obtained by treating tamarind husk with a hydrophilic organic solvent, water, or a mixture thereof. It is a component.

Tamarind husk, which is a raw material for producing the deodorant of the present invention, is a husk (seed coat) that is separated and discarded when tamarind seed gum used as a thickener in food processing is produced from the endosperm portion of tamarind seeds. )
Part of.

As a solvent for extracting a component effective for deodorization from tamarind husk, a mixture of a hydrophilic organic solvent and water is preferable because it gives an extract excellent in deodorizing performance in a high yield, but a hydrophilic organic solvent is preferable. It is also possible to use the solvent or water alone.

Examples of the hydrophilic organic solvent which can be mixed with water include lower alcohols such as methanol and ethanol; lower aliphatic ketones such as acetone and methyl ethyl ketone; glycerin, 1,3-butylene glycol and propylene glycol. Etc., and polyhydric alcohols having 2 to 4 carbon atoms. When a mixture of these hydrophilic organic solvents and water is used, an appropriate mixing ratio is 10 parts by weight of water,
It is about 1 to 90 parts by weight in the case of lower alcohols, about 1 to 40 parts by weight in the case of lower aliphatic ketones, and about 10 to 90 parts by weight in the case of polyhydric alcohols.

The extraction treatment using the above-mentioned aqueous extraction medium can be carried out using any device at room temperature or under reflux heating. Briefly, the tamarind husk is put into a treatment tank filled with the extraction medium, and the soluble component is eluted by standing still for about 30 to 120 minutes with occasional stirring if necessary. After the treatment, solid matter is removed by filtration, the extraction medium is distilled off from the obtained extract, and the extract is dried to obtain a brown extract.

The obtained extract or the extract before concentration and drying can be directly used as a deodorant. The tamarind husk extract can be used as a deodorant in the form of a solution or aqueous solution of alcohol or other organic solvent, depending on the application. Further, in order to improve the taste or to make it easy to use in various applications, it is mixed with gum arabic, cyclodextrin, dextrin, glucose, lactose, a surfactant, etc., in powder form, granular form, It may be an emulsion, a paste, or any other form of deodorant.

The present invention will be described below with reference to examples. In each example, “part” means part by weight. Example 1 To 100 g of crushed tamarind husk was added 1000 ml of 50% ethanol, and the mixture was allowed to stand at 40 ° C. for 24 hours to extract soluble components. The obtained extract was concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure to obtain 30 g of a dried product.

The above tamarind husk extract was dissolved in water to prepare various concentrations of aqueous solutions. This is capacity 900
20 ml each was put into a wide-mouthed bottle with a lid of ml, and ammonia water was injected therein. The injection amount of ammonia water at this time is
When it was assumed that only water was in the bottle, it was calculated and determined so that the concentration of ammonia in the gas phase, which was partially vaporized in the bottle and was in an equilibrium state, was 80 ppm. Immediately after the injection of ammonia water, the container was sealed with a rubber stopper, shaken for 10 minutes, and allowed to stand for 5 minutes, and then the ammonia concentration in the bottle space was measured (the amount of ammonia vaporized by the tamarind husk extract present as a deodorant). The measured ammonia concentration in the gas phase will be lower than the above calculated value as the value decreases.

As a control, 20 ml of water containing no tamarind husk extract was put in a wide-mouthed bottle and the same test as above was conducted. The results of determining the residual ammonia ratio using the measured value of the control as a reference value are shown in Table 1. . The lower the residual rate, the better the deodorizing effect. In addition, Table 1
