Food and drink for intestines, and raw material konjac flour, kneaded material consisting of raw material konjac flour, or fluid material consisting of raw material konjac flour, and food and drink for intestine consisting of oligosaccharides, and raw material konjac flour, raw material konjac flour A kneaded material consisting of, or a fluid material consisting of raw material konjac powder,
The present invention relates to the provision of food and drink for intestinal regulation containing oligosaccharides.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Edible konjac has been used for a long time as a diet food having a low digestion and absorption rate with a unique elastic texture.

[0003] Such edible konjac has been confirmed to have an intestinal regulating effect by containing a large amount of natural dietary fiber, a dieting effect as an indigestible food, etc., and is not used as a simple food but effective for various purposes. The demand for functional foods that can respond to these needs is increasing.

A processed konjac food utilizing such characteristics, in particular, the function as an indigestible food is disclosed in, for example, JP-A-55.
-13032, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 1-262771,
It has been proposed as an invention described in JP-A-6-284869, and attempts have been made to use edible konjac as a dessert food.

On the other hand, it is generally known that oligosaccharides have the effect of growing bifidobacteria, which is one of the useful bacteria in the intestine.

By ingesting such oligosaccharides and selectively growing and activating Bifidobacteria, harmful bacteria such as C. perfringens and Escherichia coli can be reduced, thereby improving the intestinal flora. There is a report saying.

It has also been reported that ingestion of lactosucrose, which is a type of oligosaccharide, decreases fecal spoilage products in pregnant women and increases fecal-derived fatty acids. A product production suppression effect has also been reported.

Since such an oligosaccharide is indigestible, even when it is ingested as a food, it is not digested and absorbed in the stomach or small intestine and becomes a nutritional source of bifidobacteria in the intestine. According to the above, it is said that Bifidobacterium is proliferated and the above-mentioned intestinal regulating effect is exerted. From this point of view, various foods that can ingest oligosaccharides in the form of powder or liquid have been provided.

[0009]

In such foods, oligosaccharides are mainly used by being added as a sweetener to cooking, ice cream, drinking water, etc. It may pass through the intestine together with the food, and some of the ingested oligosaccharides may not contribute to the growth of Bifidobacteria.

[0010] Such an inconvenience means that when the oligosaccharide food used is in a liquid state, the oligosaccharide food passes through the intestine relatively quickly, and a part of the ingested oligosaccharide is a bifidobacteria. It might not contribute to proliferation.

From this point of view, in the method of ingesting oligosaccharides separately from conventional general foods, it is difficult to bring about a peculiar intestinal regulating effect to the user who ingests this oligosaccharide, and a large amount When the oligosaccharides mentioned above were administered, there was a risk of diarrhea.

Further, even when the above-mentioned edible konjac is ingested, it is not possible to expect an improvement in the intestinal flora, for example, which brings about a good texture and provides a better bowel movement. In many cases, it was used for food promotion or dieting.

The present invention is intended to improve the disadvantages of the conventional oligosaccharide foods and to effectively utilize edible konjac, in which the bifidobacteria are effectively proliferated in the intestine. It is an object of the present invention to provide a food and drink for intestinal regulation in which the growth environment is adjusted and the intestinal flora can be effectively improved.

[0014]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a food and drink for intestinal regulation according to the invention of claim 1, which comprises food konjac and oligosaccharide. It is configured as a thing.

Further, the food and drink for intestine according to the invention of claim 2 is constituted as a food and drink for intestine composed of edible konjac and oligosaccharide.

Next, the food and drink for intestinal regulation according to the invention of claim 3 is prepared by containing raw konjac flour, a kneaded product of raw konjac powder, or a fluid product of raw konjac powder, and oligosaccharides. It is configured as food and drink for the intestines.

Then, the food and drink for intestinal regulation according to the invention of claim 4 is prepared by mixing the raw konjac flour, the kneaded product of the raw konjac powder, or the fluidized product of the raw konjac powder, and the oligosaccharide. It is configured as food and drink for the intestines.

Furthermore, the food or drink for adjustment according to the invention of claim 5 is the food or drink for intestinal regulation according to the invention of claim 1 or 2, wherein edible konjac is an konjac raw material to which oligosaccharides are added. The edible konjac is manufactured as described above.

In the present specification, "edible konjac" is used.
The term "konjac potato," or various konjac flour made from this konjac potato, is used as a main raw material, and is a general term for the edible coagulum produced by alkali treatment by a known method.

Such edible konjac can be produced by a known method, for example, refining coarse powder made from dried konjac potato,
Along with obtaining the refined flour, this konjac refined flour is kneaded into a paste by sufficiently adding hot and cold water to the colloidal konjac paste, lime milk, an alkaline liquid such as sodium carbonate solution. It is prepared by adding and stirring and kneading it, putting it in a mold box to solidify it, heating it in a melted solution of lime, and then punching it in clear water.

The edible konjac may be made directly from the above-mentioned raw konjac potato. Also,
It may be made by using konjac flour that has not yet been made into a refined powder, such as rough powder.

The edible konjac produced here is
From the purpose of increasing its taste, in the process of producing this edible konjac, it may be made by adding various additives, in particular, in the edible konjac according to this embodiment, oligosaccharides, Edible konjac produced by adding it is one of other typical embodiments.

The edible konjac made here is
Usually, a square of a commercially available mode, that is, after being put in a mold box and made as edible konjac, it may be in the form of a lump that is appropriately cut with a kitchen knife or the like, and is usually commercially available. It may be made to have a linear shape such as "thread konjac" or "whitefish".

Furthermore, the edible konjac made here is
The kneaded product may be made into a block shape, a flaky shape, or a granular shape, which is obtained by solidifying the kneaded material into an appropriate shape without putting it in a mold box.

Furthermore, the edible konjac produced here is prepared by once making edible konjac from konjac potato by each of the above-mentioned methods, and then the solidified konjak to be served is made into fine particles again, It may be configured such that it can be dispersed in a liquid in a suspended state.

The edible konjac used here is
As long as it is an edible konjac produced by a conventional method, it may be produced by any method, and it may be an edible konjac in any form.

For example, the edible konjac used may be deodorized by a known method,
For example, deodorizing treatment of edible konjac may be performed by adding and mixing an insoluble powdery deodorant such as powdered activated carbon or acid clay to konjac refined powder and then separating and removing the powdery deodorant.

The term "raw material konjac flour" as used herein means a powder obtained by crushing dried konjac potato (commonly called rough powder), and further crushing this rough powder together with sieve selection, air volume selection, etc. It is a general term for powders (commonly called refined powders) selected by.

The oligosaccharide used here may be any oligosaccharide as long as it contributes to the growth of bifidobacteria, and for example, lactosucrose, sugar-bound starch syrup, glycosylsucrose, fructooligosaccharide, straight chain oligo. Oligosaccharide products such as sugars, maltooligosaccharides, branched oligosaccharides, and isomaltooligosaccharides can be used. As such oligosaccharides, one kind can be selectively used, or two or more kinds can be appropriately mixed and used. .

Among such oligosaccharides, particularly lactosucrose is an oligosaccharide obtained by binding “lactose” contained in milk and “sucrose” contained in sugar cane with β-fructofuranosidase as a raw material. It has excellent bacterial growth effect, excellent sweetness, and has characteristics such as diarrhea that does not occur even if it is ingested in a large amount. It has an excellent function as a sweetening means that can be used with peace of mind even by people with the symptoms of, and is typical and suitable for the oligosaccharides constituting the food and drink for intestinal regulation according to this embodiment. It is considered to be a kind.

An edible konjac having such a constitution and an oligosaccharide are used to constitute a food and drink for intestinal regulation.

The food and drink for intestinal regulation constituted here may be constituted only by edible konjac and oligosaccharide.

For example, in preparing edible konjac, oligosaccharides may be mixed in advance with the raw material of the edible konjac, and edible konjac in the form of a block or a string may be prepared in a state of containing the oligosaccharides. Alternatively, the edible konjac produced by containing the oligosaccharide may be made into a lump, a string, a granule, or a fine grain, and this may be used for eating and drinking.

For example, an oligosaccharide may be added to the produced edible konjac to give a lump-shaped or string-shaped intestinal food and drink. Alternatively, the produced edible konjac may be in the form of lumps, strings, granules, or fine granules, and oligosaccharides may be added to the edible konjac to provide food and drink for intestinal regulation.

Next, the constituted food and drink for intestinal regulation may be constituted as a food and drink containing edible konjac and oligosaccharide.

For example, in the preparation of edible konjac, oligosaccharides are mixed in advance with the edible konjac raw material, and in the state of containing the oligosaccharides, lump-shaped and string-shaped edible konjacs are prepared, and this edible konjac is used as a material. You may have made various food and drink as one, for example, this edible konjac containing oligosaccharides, lumps, strings, granules or fine particles, yogurt products,
The food and drink for intestinal regulation may be constituted by mixing with jelly products, various beverage products and the like.

For example, in constructing a food and drink for intestinal regulation in a state of containing prepared edible konjac and oligosaccharide, the edible konjac is made into a lump, a string, a granule or a fine granule, and this oligosaccharide is used. At the same time, food and drink for intestinal regulation may be constituted by mixing in yogurt products, jelly products, various beverage products and the like.

Next, as other food and drink for intestinal regulation according to this embodiment, konjac raw material powder, a paste made by kneading konjac raw material powder with hot water or the like, or konjac raw material powder is melted with hot water or the like. There are foods and beverages for intestinal regulation which are composed of a liquid material produced by taking out and oligosaccharides.

In addition, as the food and drink for intestinal regulation according to another typical embodiment, konjac raw material powder, a paste made by kneading konjac raw material powder with hot water or the like, or konjac raw material powder with hot water, etc. A liquid product made by dissolving it in, and a food and drink for intestine constituted by containing an oligosaccharide, for example, an oligosaccharide and the above konjac raw material powder, or a konjac paste, or a konjac liquid product. May be mixed with yogurt products, jelly products, various beverage products, etc. to form food and drink for intestinal regulation.

Here, the oligosaccharide contained in the food and drink for intestinal regulation is, for example, when lactosucrose is used, the daily intake of an adult is 1 g to 25 g (purity: 10
It is preferable to configure the food and drink for intestinal regulation so as to be 0% lactose sucrose, and to include food and drink consisting of edible konjac that can be suitably ingested while containing such amount of lactosucrose, and edible konjac. As food and drink, also, konjac raw material powder that can be suitably ingested while containing such an amount of lactosucrose, food and drink consisting of its paste or its fluid, and these konjac raw material powder, its paste Alternatively, it is configured as a food or drink containing a fluid substance.

For example, as an example of food and drink for intestinal regulation according to this embodiment, 1 g per 100 g of edible konjac
-25 g of lactosucrose (purity 100%) was added to the intestinal food and drink. In addition, as another example of the food and drink for intestinal regulation according to this embodiment, konjac raw material powder 3
1 g to 25 g of lactosucrose (purity 10
0%) was formulated to constitute a food and drink for intestinal regulation.

The edible konjac used here is
And konjac raw material powder, if it contains a suitable intake amount of oligosaccharides per day, it is preferable that the amount can be suitably ingested, more edible konjac, and konjac raw material powder, etc. It is preferably configured as a food and drink for intestinal regulation that can be ingested together with sugar.

Next, the edible konjac used for each of the foods and drinks for intestinal regulation further has a shape, a property, a taste, a color tone and the like corresponding to the specific properties of various foods and drinks. Prepared as an item. Further, for example, the edible konjac may be used to constitute a food and drink for intestinal regulation provided with a powdery or fluid oligosaccharide and the like in an enclosed state.

For the purpose of further enhancing the flavor, various additives such as sweeteners and spices are added to each of the above-mentioned edible konjacs, or various kinds are added to the above-mentioned finely divided edible konjac. It may be added as a fruit juice drink, and used as a food and drink for intestinal regulation.

In the intestinal food and drink thus constituted, the edible konjac constituting the food and drink contains hemicellulose, which is a dietary fiber that cannot be digested by humans, and is considered as an indigestible food. The passage speed of the intestinal food and drink itself in the intestine is low, and the intestinal food and drink itself slowly passes through the intestine, so that a unique intestinal regulating effect can be brought about.

Further, oligosaccharides typified by lactosucrose effectively grow the intestinal bacterium Bifidobacteria, improve the intestinal flora along with the growth of such Bifidobacteria, and effectively intestinal organizing. Can have an effect.

In particular, by ingesting and ingesting the food and drink for intestinal regulation according to this embodiment, the oligosaccharides excreted outside the intestine in a short time in the conventional ingestion method are edible konjac and konjac. It slowly passes through the intestine together with the raw material powder and the like, so that the oligosaccharide contained in the intestinal food and drink can be retained in the intestine for a long time.

As a result, it is presumed that it is possible to effectively bring about the proliferative effect of bifidobacteria in the intestine as compared with the case of ingesting oligosaccharide alone.

Further, as the growth of Bifidobacterium is suppressed, the growth of other bacterial groups is relatively suppressed, and the residue of the fungus killed by the erosion of Bifidobacterium remains in the body and is not digested as edible konjac. It can be pushed out of the body with certainty.

The intestinal occupancy rate of the useful bacteria Bifidobacterium is usually 100% in newborns, 60% in 6-month-olds, and 1 in the early 30s when the total number of intestinal bacteria is 100.
It is known that the amount decreases from 0 to 8%, and further decreases to 3% in the 60s with age, and it is generally known that the intestinal regulation action decreases with the decrease of the bifidobacteria.

When the intestinal food and drink containing 1 g to 25 g of lactosucrose (purity 100%) having the above-mentioned constitution was ingested, the intestinal occupancy of Bifidobacterium was improved in a relatively short period of time, It was confirmed that the number of Bifidobacterium in the inside was increased.

It was also confirmed that with such ingestion, bowel movements became smooth, the stool quality was moderately soft, the stool color was ocher, the shape was banana-like, and the odor was reduced.

Further, the intestinal function became active with the improvement of the intestinal flora, the discharge of waste products, harmful substances, dead sterilized groups and the like by undigested konjac.

[0060]

[Example] Edible konjac was obtained from konjac refined powder by a conventional method. (More specifically, konjac refined powder as the main raw material, while leaching it in hot water to absorb water sufficiently, kneading it into a paste, adding calcium hydroxide to it It was put in a box, hardened, taken out, heated in hot water, then taken out and soaked in clear water to obtain edible konjac.)

Next, the edible konjac obtained here was finely divided into fine particles to obtain a pasty edible konjac.
