Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a granular food used as a dietary supplement or health food.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In order for humans to be active and healthy every day, it is necessary to ingest balanced nutrition as food, but the tastes of ordinary people such as ordinary meals and confectionery are taken daily. There is a problem that the balance is easily lost only with foods and the like, and various nutritional supplements and health foods are provided in order to achieve nutritional balance. It is also recognized that various vitamins and minerals are important for maintaining health, and it is also known that extracts from various plants have physiological activities effective for maintaining health. ing.

[0003]

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present inventors have conducted various studies on the physiological activity of extracts from various plants, and as a result, the hot water extract of beans not only promotes the metabolism of fat and cholesterol, Focusing on the fact that it is effective for the activation of human tissues, it was found that a comprehensive health food that also serves as nutritional supplement can be obtained, and that there is a difference in efficacy depending on the intake method of such food, and the present invention was completed. Came to do. That is, an object of the present invention is to provide a granular food that is particularly effective for promoting overall health by utilizing a hot water extract of beans.

[0004]

The object of the present invention is to obtain soybeans,
Red-bean extract, green soybean, black bean, and tiger bean extract 10
A composition containing at least 40% by weight of a crude drug dry extract, wheat germ, dry yeast, bifidobacteria, propolis, and a polyunsaturated fatty oil was formed on the surface thereof with an enteric-soluble continuous film. It can be achieved by a granular food product characterized by being enclosed in a gelatin capsule having.

The crude extract of crude drug, which is a main component of the food of the present invention, contains 10 to 40% by weight of hot water extract of soybean, red bean, green soybean, black soybean, and tiger bean. The proportion of the above beans extract in the dried extract is
If the amount is too large or too small from the above range, the efficacy tends to decrease. Furthermore, the ratio of soybeans, red beans, green soybeans, black beans, and tiger beans is 1 with respect to the total of these beans.
It is preferably 0% by weight or more, and more preferably, it is used in a nearly uniform ratio.

[0006] Examples of crude drugs other than these beans include loquat leaves, ginkgo leaves, mulberry leaves, tea leaves, etc., licorice, sweet potatoes, and often dokudami, kamitsure, kawaretsutsumei,
Watermelon, buckwheat, bear, bamboo shoot, ukon, sweet potato, oyster, toasted abacus, Kinmizuhiki, dandelion, chigaya, aunt, hatomugi, habu, koko, thornless, prune, jujube, apricot, princess matsutake, shiitake mushroom, bun Nentake, garlic, Nekombu, etc. can be used together.

These crude drug extracts are sufficiently swollen in warm water, then heated and extracted with hot water at 70 ° C. or higher, preferably 95 ° C. or higher, and the extract is spray-dried or freeze-dried. The resulting powder is preferred. The bean extract contained in such a dried extract of crude drug may be produced by simultaneously extracting it with other crude drug, but only the beans are separately extracted and dried according to the same method as described above. The extract obtained from
It may be produced by blending with other crude drug extracts.

The main ingredient of the granular food of the present invention is to mix wheat germ, dry yeast, bifidobacteria, propolis and the like with powder of crude drug extract containing the above-mentioned legume extract, and further, highly unsaturated fatty oil. Is a composition kneaded by adding, as the highly unsaturated fatty oil used at this time, for example, a high unsaturated oil content of highly unsaturated fatty acids such as eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid is used, for example, Fish oil and perilla oil or safflower oil enriched with these highly unsaturated fatty acids are preferably used.

The granular food of the present invention is a polymer which is enteric but is not easily dissolved in water in a strongly acidic environment such as the stomach after the above composition is first filled in a gelatin capsule. It can be obtained by forming a continuous film on the surface of the capsule by a method such as applying a solution of the material dissolved in an organic solvent to the surface of the capsule. As such a polymer material, a solvent-soluble material such as glycoprotein or an aliphatic alcohol derivative of cellulose or hemicellulose is preferably used. Further, when such a film is not a continuous film, it is considered that the gelatin capsules are partially dissolved by water, and the food ingredients are partially inactivated, and thus sufficient efficacy tends not to be exhibited.

[0010]

The granular food of the present invention, when orally ingested, contains various kinds of glycosides, amino acids, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, and various vitamins, minerals, enzymes, etc. It reaches the intestine without being destroyed by acid in the stomach and interacts with each other to effectively exhibit physiological activity. Therefore, it effectively activates tissues of various parts of the human body, promotes metabolism, and enhances resistance to external stress.

[0011]

Example: An equal mixture of soybeans, red beans, green soybeans, black beans, and tiger beans was soaked in fresh water for 5 hours or more to allow it to swell sufficiently, then taken out, and about twice the amount of fresh water was added and heated to the point of boiling. Extraction was performed in this state, and the extract was spray-dried to obtain a powder extract. Separately, a mixed extract powder was prepared by blending 40 kinds or more of crude drugs in the same manner as above with the dried extract extracted so that the above extract of beans was about 20% by weight.

Next, 50 parts by weight of the above-mentioned mixed extract, 5 parts by weight of wheat germ, 3 parts by weight of dry yeast, and Bifidobacteria 1
Parts by weight, 1 part by weight of propolis, 0.5 parts by weight of beef extract, and 2 parts by weight of vegetable extract were mixed well, and 35 parts by weight of a mixture of perilla oil and fish oil as highly unsaturated fatty oil was added. The mixture was kneaded to make a paste, and 0.2 g each was encapsulated in a gelatinous soft capsule.

Further, this capsule was placed in a rotary bowl, and while stirring with rotation, a liquid in which Tween DP (Showa Sangyo, trade name) as an enteric polymer was dissolved in 83% ethanol was sprayed. A granular food of the present invention having an enteric-soluble continuous film on the surface of the capsule was obtained.

The thus obtained granular food of the present invention and the granular food encapsulated in an enteric-soluble film are encapsulated,
When 20 volunteers carried out a comparative evaluation on the feeling of taking and the effect of improving the physical condition by taking 5 tablets twice a day, all of them found that the feeling of taking the food of the present invention was improved, In terms of effect, 15 people are good,
Five people rated it as equal, and none rated it as inferior.

[0015]

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The granular food of the present invention is a dry extract of crude drug including hot water extract of soybean, adzuki bean, green soybean, black soybean, and tiger bean, wheat germ, dry yeast, bifidobacteria, propolis, and highly unsaturated fat. Since a composition containing oil and a gelatin capsule is encapsulated and a continuous film that dissolves in the intestine is formed, various glycosides, amino acids and other galenical ingredients, as well as various vitamins, minerals and enzymes The effect of comprehensive activation of the organization and promotion of health is enhanced, and the feeling of taking the drug is significantly improved.
