BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention is used by sports players and the like.
The present invention relates to foods that can recover or enhance stamina exhausted in a game in a short time.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, various sports have been actively carried out for the purpose of preventing aging, maintaining health, etc., and sports for updating records have become more and more popular. . Under these circumstances, the emergence of a new stamina-enhanced food that can heal fatigue in a short period of time between exercises or recover stamina exhausted during exercise or a game in a short time is desired. On the other hand, bananas are widely popular as nutritious fruits, and when they are considered as foods for processing, they can be obtained in large quantities and relatively inexpensively throughout the year, and thus various processed foods are obtained using bananas as raw materials. A method was developed. That is, the peeled banana is subjected to a blanching treatment with a specific solution, and the starch in the banana is decomposed using α-amylase to give a creamy or jam-like viscous product with an excellent flavor. A method for obtaining a processed banana processed food (Japanese Patent Publication No. 54-6620), a method for mixing a liquid obtained in the form of an aqueous solution from an edible portion of a banana and a calcium solution and heating to obtain a gel food (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 56-56). No. 117779, No. 57-33566), mixed ripe banana fruits with sugar beet and dried yeast,

No. 152) is known.

[0003]

However, none of the above methods is beyond the scope of processed foods, and there is still no known method for obtaining stamina-enhanced foods using banana as a raw material. In addition, a potassium supplement containing at least one selected from banana peel extract, banana peel and pulp extract and dried products thereof, and
There are known foods and drinks and pharmaceutical products (JP-A-3-56424) containing this potassium supplement, but the present invention is
It was completed based on the finding that banana peels usually have a very high potassium content of 4 to 8%, and the use of banana peels is an essential requirement. For this reason, the potassium supplement obtained in the above invention contains a taste component derived from the skin of banana and is not suitable as a food as it is.

Means for Solving the Problems The present inventors have found that a banana, which is widely popular as a nutritious fruit and can be obtained in large quantities and at relatively low prices throughout the year, is used as a raw material.
It would be a great contribution to the sports food and drink industry if it is possible to provide foods with excellent taste that can recover or enhance the stamina that is exhausted in competitions in a short time for players. Focusing on this point, the present invention was finally completed as a result of various studies. That is, the present invention is a stamina-enhanced food product comprising at least one selected from the group consisting of fructose, caffeine, vitamin B ₁ , vitamin B ₂ , niacin and iron salts in a peeled banana or a processed product thereof, In the present invention, a gelling agent is added to the peeled banana or a processed product thereof, and at least one selected from the group consisting of fructose, caffeine, vitamin B ₁ , vitamin B ₂ , niacin and iron salts is added and contained. This is a gel-like stamina-enhancing food.

The present invention will be described in detail below. First, the banana used in the present invention is preferably one obtained by peeling a banana to obtain a fruit, grinding this and pureing it, or a processed product thereof (for example, powdered banana). Note that these may be commercially available products.

In the present invention, at least one kind of fructose, caffeine, vitamin B ₁ , vitamin B ₂ , niacin, and iron salts (hereinafter abbreviated as a third component) is used in the above banana. These additives are related to each other, and by suppressing the depletion of glycogen, which is the source of stamina in muscle, thereby maintaining a relatively high level of glycogen accumulation in muscle, It has the effect of sustaining stamina or restoring it in a short time. If necessary,
Addition of citric acid and calcium salts in addition to the third component is more preferable from the viewpoint of taste and enhancement of stamina.

As the third component added and used per 100 g of the product, fructose is 0 to 30 g and caffeine is 0.
~ 0.1g, Vitamin B ₁ 0-40μg, Vitamin B ₂
Is 0 to 60 μg, niacin is 0 to 1500 μg, and iron salts (eg, sodium ferrous citrate) are 0 to 240
μg is preferred. In addition to the above, if necessary,
Citric acid is preferably 0 to 1.5 g, and calcium salts (eg, whey calcium, calcium lactate, etc.) are preferably 0 to 120 mg.

Next, as the gelling agent used in the present invention,
Gelling agents for food such as gellan gum, xanthan gum, agar, glucomannan, alginic acid, carrageenan, locust bean gum and pectin can be mentioned. These may be used alone or in combination.

The amount of the gelling agent added varies depending on the type of gelling agent and the gel strength of the final product. For example, when gellan gum is used and it is desired to obtain a water-yokan-like gel strength, the gellan gum is the final product. 0.6-1.3 in the product
(W / W, the following% are the same) It is preferable to add so as to be%.

In order to carry out the present invention, a stamina-enhanced food product is obtained by adding a third component to a peeled banana or a processed product thereof, or a banana is mixed with a gelling agent and the melting temperature of the gelling agent is increased. After the above heating, the third component is added and uniformly dissolved at a product temperature equal to or higher than the solidifying temperature of the gelling agent, and then the mixture is filled in a packaging container and sealed, followed by heat sterilization.

The shape of the packaging container may be a desired shape in the final product. Examples thereof include a natural banana-shaped container, a flat cylindrical container, and a bag-shaped container made of a flexible film having a shape similar to a weenie-sage.

Next, the heat sterilization is preferably performed at 80 ° C. or higher for 10 minutes or longer, particularly at 85 to 100 ° C. for 20 to 30 minutes.

Thus, according to the present invention, the sports
It is possible to obtain foods that can recover or enhance stamina consumed in a game or the like in a short time for players such as Tsu.
