Abstract

PURPOSE: To obtain a food having high functionality especially for prevention of geriatric disease. CONSTITUTION: This food is obtained by adding fibers of sweet potato and powder of unrefined KUROZU [a food obtained by baking tangle or SIITAKE (Lentinus edodes), rubbing the baked material, finely grinding it by an earthenware mortar and mixing the blend with vinegar] to powdered tea, seasoning the blend and forming the seasoned material by using pregelatinized glutinous rice. A method for producing the food is provided.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

The present invention relates to so-called "eat tea".
This is a new type of product that combines functional ingredients of sweet potato fiber and black moromi mash powder as well as the functional ingredients of tea that remain in the tea cup and are not used in general drinking such as sencha. Provide health food.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In drinking tea other than matcha, most of the functional components of tea have been left in the tea leaves and discarded without being used. However, since these functional ingredients can be ingested if tea is eaten directly, tea has recently been shredded or powdered into food. However, shredded or powdered tea tends to scatter as it is and is inconvenient to handle. Furthermore, it has been pointed out that the taste is insufficient because many people eat it as it is without seasoning it so as not to impair the original flavor of tea.

On the other hand, in the Fukuyama region of Kagoshima prefecture, naturally brewed kurozu has been made for a long time, and the high functionality of dried moromi mash (kurozu moromi powder) has come to be particularly noted. However, it is difficult to use as a food material because of its unique smell and taste.

Further, sweet potatoes, which are a special product of Kagoshima prefecture, are known to contain excellent dietary fiber, but in reality, most of them are discarded without being used as so-called starch meal. .

[0005]

As described above, tea, sweet potato fiber, kurozu moromi powder, etc., which are the special products of Kagoshima prefecture, can be effectively used even though they each have excellent functional ingredients. Not done. If a combination of these foods is possible, it will be possible to become a new type of health food product in which the unique or common functionality of each material is integrated. However, even if these materials are simply mixed, unpleasant odors peculiar to black powder and insufficient taste of each material will result in foods with low palatability.

[0006]

[Means for solving the problem] First,
Preheat it until it burns a little. The sweet potato fiber was extracted in a fresh state from the sieve vent portion in the starch production process, and purified, dried, and powdered. After mixing these with powdered tea, powders of dried sardines and kelp, and sesame seeds and peppers were added to adjust the taste. Furthermore, gelatinized glutinous rice flour was added to these mixed materials, and the mixture was kneaded with water or dashi soup to be shaped and dried to give a solid food.

[0007]

By heating the black moromi mash powder strongly, the peculiar odor and the irritation caused by acetic acid were alleviated. Also, sweet potato fibers can be obtained in abundance as a beautiful powder by the above method. After mixing the kurozu mash powder and sweet potato fiber that have been subjected to these treatments with tea powder that is difficult to handle, it is transformed into a fragrant and easy-to-eat food by shaping with seasoned rice.

[0008]

Example 1 (1) Powdered green tea, sweet potato fiber, and heat-treated black moromi powder were mixed in a ratio of 2: 2: 1. (2) Irikoto and kelp powder were mixed at a ratio of 2: 1. (3) The above (1) and (2) were mixed in equal amounts. (4) Next, add approximately the same amount of glutinous rice flour that has been pregelatinized and an appropriate amount of sesame, capsicum, and other seasonings, and knead with soup stock (5) Spread it thinly and dry it quickly in a dryer It was cut into various sizes to make a mixed edible tea product.

[0009]

By eating the mixed edible tea of the present invention, 100% of the functional components of tea (catechins, vitamins A, C, E, fiber, etc.) will be utilized. In addition, by adding peptides such as black moromi mash powder, sweet potato fiber, etc., it is possible to improve lipid metabolism, suppress cholesterol, prevent cardiovascular disease and cancer by improving erythrocyte deforming function, and improve intestinal function. The effect of preventing adult diseases is brought about. Furthermore, the functionality of calcium and iodine contained in dried sardines and kelp is also added.

The combination of these materials can be appropriately adjusted, and the shape can be freely changed such as snack foods such as rice crackers and sprinkles. Therefore, it will be possible to easily and widely eat between snacks or during meals. In particular, it can be said that the food has excellent functionality as a diet for preventing adult diseases.
