JPH0775524A - Production of healthy food using ume tree as main raw material - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a healthy food effectively usable for preventing cancer, diabetes, arteriosclerosis and cerebral apoplexy and normalizing the intestinal function controlling actions and blood pressure by extracting ingredients, contained in an UME (plum) tree and effectively useful for human bodies. CONSTITUTION:This healthy food is obtained by continuously carrying out the first step for placing crushed pieces of an UME tree in hot water, boiling the crushed pieces therein and extracting various ingredients effectively useful for human bodies such as beta-carotene, quercitrin, citric acid, succinic acid and tannin and the second step for boiling down the resultant extracted solution at a specific temperature for a specific time, evaporating water and providing the food.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for producing a health food containing ume trees, especially ume tree sprouts as a main raw material.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in plum cultivation, health foods such as umeboshi using fruits, plum wine, plum meat extract and processed foods thereof are the mainstream.

[0003]

However, in plum cultivation, fertilizer is applied to the soil at a predetermined time after picking up the fruits to store the sufficient nutrients necessary for the next fruit growth in the sprouts, and at the predetermined time. Pruning work is done.

The pruned branch tree is usually incinerated or discarded.

The applicant of the present application has found that the branch tree cut off by pruning contains sufficient nutrients necessary for the next fruit production. It was discovered that beta-carotene effective for cancer prevention, quercitrin with high intestinal regulating effect and detoxification effect, succinic acid that promotes antipyretic and gastric juice secretion, citric acid and tannin are contained in large amounts, Therefore,
The present invention covers the provision of a health food manufacturing method using ume tree as a main raw material.

[0006]

Means for Solving the Problems To explain the means of the present invention for achieving the above object, the method for producing a health food using umeki as a main raw material according to the present invention is to put crushed pieces of umeki in hot water. The first step of heating and extracting the components such as beta-carotene, quercitrin, citric acid, succinic acid, and tannin contained in the crushed pieces, and the extract containing the components is boiled at a constant temperature for a time to make a decoction food The food is obtained by continuously performing the steps.

[0007]

In the health food of the present invention, the crushed pieces of plum tree are placed in boiling water and boiled to extract the human body-effective components contained in the crushed pieces, and the extract is decocted to realize food. , Especially by adjusting the decoction time, liquid foods, pasty foods,
A powder or solid food product can be easily manufactured.

However, by eating the health food according to the present invention, the prevention of cancer by beta-carotene, the detoxification and diuretic effects by quercitrin, citric acid, succinic acid and tannin, the strengthening of capillaries and the activation of the heart can be achieved. It promotes and stabilizes blood pressure and prevents diabetes.
In addition, it is particularly effective in preventing arteriosclerosis or stroke due to laxative action and diuretic action of succinic acid and tannin.

[0009]

EXAMPLE FIG. 1 shows a schematic view of an example of a heater applied to the step of brewing an extract.

The health food containing ume tree as a main raw material according to the present invention is mainly composed of a branch tree cut off by pruning after pruning a sprout in which fruits are collected and nutrients are stored by fertilization. In that case, it is also possible to use 1 year old, 2 year old or old tree or root as a raw material.

[0011] In carrying out the method, first, in the first step, umeki sprouts containing linseed are crushed into chips, and the crushed pieces are placed in boiling water and boiled for about 40 minutes to obtain beta contained in the crushed pieces. Extract components effective for the human body such as carotene, quercitrin, citric acid, and tannin.

In the next step, as shown in FIG. 1, the extraction liquid 1 containing the extracted components from the crushed pieces is put in a container 2, and the container 2
Is immersed in boiling water 31 in the heating container 3 and decocted for 480 to 720 hours to evaporate the water content in the extract 1 to obtain a food product.

The brewing time is adjusted to adjust the water content of the food to obtain a liquid food, a paste food or a powder food.

The above foods can also be in solid form.
In this case, it is possible to increase the viscosity of the paste and fill and solidify it in the molding die. Alternatively, once powdered, mix and knead the binder liquid into it, fill it into the molding die and solidify it. Select and implement according to your requirements.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY As described above, according to the present invention, crushed pieces of plum tree are put in boiling water and boiled, and beta-carotene, quercitrin,
Succinic acid, citric acid, extract active ingredients such as tannin in the human body, to manufacture a health food by boiling the extract for a certain period of time, prevention of cancer by beta-carotene by eating this, quercitrin, succinic acid, The detoxification and diuretic effects of citric acid and tannin are obtained. Therefore, the strengthening of capillaries and the activation of the heart are promoted, the blood pressure is stabilized and the prevention of diabetes is realized. In addition, the succinic acid, the citric acid, and the tannin have a practical effect of achieving the object of the invention, such as exerting an excellent effect on prevention of arteriosclerosis, stroke, etc. due to diuretic action.
