Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a water quality improving material for improving the quality of water or products using water, or supplementing minerals, and a method for producing the same.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When water clusters (molecular groups) are made small to improve their absorption / permeability, etc.
It has recently been confirmed that there are various merits in other fields that use water. There are physical methods such as electrolysis as a means to reduce the cluster,
There is a method of adding a small amount of a water-soluble ionized mineral-containing liquid to give a lasting effect. This water-soluble ionized mineral-containing liquid is currently obtained by adding egg shells to starch and seeds, crushing and mixing, then hydrolyzing and fermenting, and filtering this fermenting liquid.

[0003]

Since such water-soluble ionized minerals are often used in living organisms and foods and drinks, natural ones are used as much as possible, and various useful minerals are contained in a complex manner. However, it is desirable to expect such synergistic effects and biocompatibility. In that sense, the materials are considerably restricted, and the fermentation aging liquid can be finally obtained by using aspergillus for 2 months under the strict conditions controlled by appropriate brewing equipment. However, there are problems that the cost is considerably high, insoluble organic substances such as sediment tend to be generated, and it is difficult to maintain the homogeneity of the product. In order to solve such a problem, it is an object of the present invention to provide a water quality improving material that is suitable for mass production at a lower cost and that contains minerals in a wide variety in a natural form.

[0004]

Means for Solving the Problems As a result of repeating trial production and experiments using various materials, the present inventor crushed fossil fish and shellfish and mixed them with vinegar or acetic acid, and after a predetermined time, Separate the insoluble components by collecting the clear liquid, etc.
Upon removal, the separated liquid was completely comparable to that obtained by the above-mentioned brewing method, and it could be found that it could be an extremely excellent water quality improving material.

The fossils used here are fossilized bones and shells of fish and shellfish that lived in ancient seas for many years. It is a fossil mainly composed of scallops in the Quaternary of the Cenozoic
This is a large amount produced in Japan.

[0006] In common with the constituents of such fossils of fish and shellfish, in addition to the maximum amount of calcium carbonate, magnesium, potassium, sodium, iron, iodine, and all trace minerals essential for humans and other living organisms. It is to include. This is natural considering that all terrestrial organisms were originally derived from the sea.

The acetic acid used is preferably vinegar as much as possible. Vinegar is made at a very low cost by a brewing method established using natural carbohydrates such as rice as a raw material, but the content of acetic acid is relatively low at 3 to 5%.
However, it also contains various trace minerals, all of which are already in a water-soluble form, which is useful for replenishing minerals and improving balance.

Of course, if a high acetic acid content is used, a high water-soluble mineral content can be obtained, but practically, vinegar having an acetic acid content of about 3% is used.
According to the atomic absorption method, the total amount of minerals such as calcium becomes a little less than 1% even if the powdered shell fossil is mixed and stirred manually at room temperature and left for one day. Confirmed by quantitative analysis.

Even if it has such a concentration, it is mixed with 1,000 times the amount of water and an NMR spectroscopic method for measuring the size of the water cluster is tried, and the evaluation is determined. The half-value width was 51.9 Hz, which was a surprisingly good result. By the way, the original tap water is 132.6Hz (usually
120-150Hz), 80-110 with famous hot spring water
Hz. Since it is about 60 Hz with the same dilution water as the mineral-containing liquid obtained by the brewing and aging, it can be seen that a great cluster fragmentation effect is high.

In order to further increase the mineral content of the stock solution before being mixed with water, one having a high acetic acid content is used, in addition, a crushed product of fossils is pulverized, a high-speed mixer is used, and the temperature is raised. A method such as prolonging the mixing time is taken.

In any case, various characteristics that can be seen as a water-soluble ionized mineral-containing liquid, for example, water to which it is added have an increased permeability and water retention in living tissues and fibers, and have antistatic and antibacterial properties. It was confirmed that all the physical properties such as keeping freshness, improving taste, improving washability, not damaging natural fiber, and making mineral supplemented foods are fully equipped.

[0012]

The fossil fish and shellfish fossils used in the present invention have passed tens of millions of years, even if they are Cenozoic, and the organic matter has not been decomposed or lost at all. Even low-concentration acetic acid reacts with it to produce a great variety of water-soluble mineral salts such as calcium acetate. In addition to the four major minerals of calcium, magnesium, sodium, and potassium, they are insufficient on land. It can contain iodine, which is apt to be added, and other all-minerals essential to the living body, but on the other hand, heavy metals, which are harmful to the human body, are originally contained in the fossil in a small amount, and a low concentration of acetic acid, which is a relatively weak acid, is used. Since vinegar and vinegar are allowed to react under mild conditions, it hardly elutes as a water-soluble compound, making it extremely safe and at the same time, separating and removing precipitated solids is extremely In easy, it without generating a organic matter sediment, it is possible to mass-produce very homogeneous composite water-soluble mineral content stock by sufficiently performed type management of fossil materials.

It should be noted that the explanation of the function of reducing the water molecule clusters when the stock solution according to the present invention is mixed in water about several hundred times, and the effect of the water increasing the permeability to cells etc. has already been made. Since it is the same as that described in the literature, it is needless to say that it is not described in detail here.
Although it is not the role of the present application, it is necessary to clarify the reason why the small cluster water more than the conventional one has been formed even if the concentration is 0.

[0014]

[Example 1] A fossil shellfish fossil mainly from the Cenozoic Quaternary Pachinopecten tokyoensis produced in Hokkaido and Kanto is crushed into 100 mesh, which is then put into 100g of rice vinegar 3l having an acetic acid content of 4%. Then manually stir for 10 minutes,
After leaving it at 15 ° C. for one day and night, the supernatant was taken out and used as a stock solution of the water quality improving material. When the content of major minerals was measured by the atomic analysis method at the Aichi Prefectural Industrial Technology Center,
It was as follows. Ca% ………… 0.76 Mg% ………… 0.02 Na% ………… 0.11 K% ………… 0.01

The above-mentioned stock solution was mixed with 1,000 times its amount of tap water and measured by NMR spectroscopy in order to examine the size of the water molecule group (cluster). The graph is significantly sharper than tap water, and the half-value width, which is a measure for it, is 5
It was 1.9 Hz. In contrast, the tap water used was 132.6 HZ.

An attempt was made to wash a woolen fiber product with a detergent prepared by mixing the above-mentioned stock solution with orange oil in a ratio of 3: 1. I didn't see any.

[0017]

[Example 2] The above shell fossil was pulverized into 300 mesh, put into 100 g of this, and added to 1 liter of a 50% aqueous solution of acetic acid and stirred at 15 ° C for 30 minutes with a high-speed mixer. The insoluble suspended matter was filtered and dried. When the weight was measured, it was 12 g, and the weight of the precipitate after leaving the filtrate for 10 days was less than 1 g. Therefore, at least 8.7% of the water-soluble mineral in the supernatant of the filtrate was contained in the form of organic salt. This 1,000-fold aqueous solution of this stock solution also had substantially the same actions and effects as the above example.

[0018]

As described above, according to the present invention, a water quality improving material containing a large number of water-soluble ionized minerals by significantly reducing water clusters can be mass-produced at a very low cost using only natural materials. Since it is possible, the profitability is greatly improved in the application, and the application range is significantly expanded to food, fiber, agriculture, and other fields.
