[0013]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The mushroom health food of the present invention will be described with reference to Examples. (Manufacturing Method of Mushroom Health Food in First Example) The mushroom health food to be manufactured will be described by explaining the manufacturing method of the mushroom health food.

A medium for cultivating shiitake mushrooms is prepared. This medium is a well-known sterilized medium, and an example of its components is sawdust (for example, wood chips from broad-leaved trees such as beech, cherry tree, oak, and hornbeam), rice bran, lime, and water. An example of the ratio is about 300 g of sawdust, about 200 g of rice bran, about 2 g of lime, and about 500 g of water in about 1 kg of the medium.

Next, Shiitake fungi are inoculated into the medium, and the Shiitake mushrooms are cultivated in the medium at a humidity and temperature suitable for Shiitake cultivation. In this way, when cultivating Shiitake mushrooms, Shiitake fungi spread to the medium,
When the medium is infested with Shiitake fungi, shiitake mushrooms are generated in the medium.

As described above, immediately before the occurrence of shiitake mushrooms in the medium,
That is, the medium is dried at the time when the Shiitake bacterium has spread to the medium. Drying of the medium is carried out so as not to kill the shiitake fungi occurring in the medium, and is performed by low-temperature drying using air blowing or by using warm air or light to such an extent that the shiitake fungi are not killed.

The water content of the medium is about several percent (for example, about 5%).
Once dry, mill the dried media to a fine powder. Then, the powdered product is passed through a 100 μm mesh to make the powder into a size of 100 μm or less. A mushroom health food is manufactured by the above. In addition, in the first embodiment, an example in which the medium is dried as it is and pulverized after drying is shown. However, the medium may be roughly crushed once before the drying step and pulverized after drying.

(Manufacturing method of health foods of mushrooms in the second embodiment) In the above-mentioned first embodiment, an example in which the medium is pulverized before the growth of shiitake in the medium has been shown. After the shiitake mushroom is generated in the medium, the cultivated shiitake mushroom and the medium having the hyphae cultivated in the shiitake mushroom are pulverized without killing the shiitake bacterium.

That is, Shiitake fungi are inoculated into the same medium as in the first embodiment, and Shiitake mushrooms are cultivated in the medium at a humidity and temperature suitable for Shiitake cultivation. Then, after the Shiitake bacterium has spread to the medium and Shiitake has been generated from the medium, the medium in which the Shiitake has been generated is crushed by a crusher, and then dried so that the Shiitake bacterium is not killed, and the water content is about several percent. When dried (for example, about 5%), the crushed and dried culture medium is further crushed into a fine powder. Then, the powdered product is passed through a 100 μm mesh to make the powder into a size of 100 μm or less. A mushroom health food is manufactured by the above. In the second embodiment, an example in which the medium is once crushed before the drying step has been shown, but the medium in which shiitake has been generated may be dried as it is and then pulverized after drying.

Further, when the medium in which shiitake is generated is taken out and transferred to the drying step, that is, when it is pulverized, when the shiitake-generating capacity of the medium to be used is 100%, the shiitake-producing rate is shiitake. Immediately after generation to within 70% is preferable. The preferred powdering time is right before the first shiitake umbrella that opens is opened, and this time is the most vigorous for Shiitake fungi,
The nutrients in the medium are also high. If the rate of Shiitake mushrooms exceeds 70%, the medium will be decomposed in large quantities by Shiitake fungi, so that the rate of occurrence is preferably not more than 70%.

(Example of Dosing) Next, an example of taking the health foods of mushrooms of the first and second embodiments will be shown. The mushroom health food shown in the above-mentioned Examples is basically the powder itself which is not heated so that the Shiitake bacterium is not killed.
Each time, a few g with a spoon etc. (for example, 2 g to 3 times)
It can be taken as it is, or can be taken as it is, sprinkled on rice, side dishes, etc., or mixed and taken as desired. In addition, since the mushroom health food contains abundantly properly dried shiitake fungi,
Since it can be taken as a shiitake mushroom flavor, it is easy to take. In addition, since each powder is provided to have a thickness of 100 μm or less, there is no problem that the powder taken by the tongue is rough.

(Effects of the embodiment) The living fungi of shiitake mushrooms contained in the health foods of mushrooms produced according to the first and second embodiments are
High bactericidal ability to kill cancer cells. In addition, shiitake mushrooms contain a large amount of dietary fiber, and the sawdust of the medium that is decomposed and softened by mycelia also contains a large amount of fibers and nutrients. Furthermore, the shiitake mushroom contains a component that is converted into vitamin D in the body by being dried when powdered. And furthermore,
The rice bran in the medium contains vitamin E, vitamins B1 and B2,
Rich in useful nutrients in the body.

As described above, the mushroom health foods manufactured according to the first and second embodiments have a high bactericidal activity of cancer cells by shiitake powder, a gastrointestinal cleansing effect by fiber, and a calcium absorption capacity by vitamins. It has the effect of increasing the blood pressure, the effect of promoting blood circulation, the effect of promoting the growth, etc., and is useful for preventing cancer by removing cells that are the basis of cancer.

That is, in the cancer, cells that become the basis of the cancer occur several to several tens of years before the onset of the disease. And since the health food according to the present invention can remove cells that are the basis of cancer, by taking it before carcinogenesis,
It can prevent cancer, suppress the onset of cancer, and maintain good health for a long time. To give a specific example, from among children, for example, by taking regularly every several years, every predetermined period,
The occurrence of cancer can be suppressed.

In addition to the prevention of cancer, mushroom health foods have the effect of activating the stomach and intestines by the fiber that purifies the gastrointestinal tract to enhance digestion and absorption, and vitamin D enhances calcium absorption. Since it has an effect of preventing osteoporosis, an effect of promoting blood circulation by vitamins B1 and B2, an effect of promoting growth, etc., it is also useful for promoting health and preventing adult diseases.

[Modification] In the above-mentioned Examples, an example was shown in which a medium powder (healthy mushroom food) was produced only by a medium in which Shiitake fungi spread or a medium in which Shiitake occurred. Other foods (for example, tea leaf powder) may be added for the purpose of increasing other nutrients. As an example thereof, dried shiitake powder may be added to the medium powder to enhance the flavor of shiitake, vitamin D and the like, and to enhance the bactericidal ability of cancer cells by shiitake. By enhancing the flavor of shiitake mushrooms in this manner, it can be sprinkled on a dish or the like and used as a seasoning for the shiitake mushroom flavor.

In the above embodiment, as an example of shiitake powder,
Although an example of a medium powder in which Shiitake fungi has not been killed is shown, a heated medium powder may be used. That is, the mushroom health food may be produced using heated medium powder (may be heated before pulverization or may be heated after pulverization). In addition,
When heated, the effect of killing Shiitake fungi and killing cancer cells is reduced, but the flavor of Shiitake mushrooms is increased, the health foods of mushrooms are easier to take, and they can be used as seasonings.

Further, in the above embodiment, an example in which only the fungus of Shiitake Mushroom is contained as the mushroom contained in the health food of Mushroom is shown.
For example, the bactericidal ability of the cancer cells may be enhanced by mixing pine mushroom powder having a higher bactericidal ability of cancer cells than that of shiitake mushrooms (a powder in which pine mushroom fungi have not been killed or a heated matsutake mushroom powder). Since the cultivation technology for matsutake mushrooms has not been established, the cost increases by adding matsutake mushroom powder, but due to the high bactericidal ability of cancer cells, a high cancer prevention effect can be expected, and the mixing ratio of matsutake mushroom powder can be expected. By increasing it, the therapeutic effect of cancer can be expected.

In the above embodiments, the mushroom health food is provided as a powder, but the powder may be solidified and provided as a tablet, or may be provided in a capsule or the like. Furthermore, the numerical values and the like shown in the examples show one example of the preferred embodiments, and the present invention is not limited to the numerical values and the like in the examples. For example, the powder size is 100 μm.
It may be larger.
