Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to foods and drinks that contribute to health, and more particularly to foods and drinks that contribute to mineral supplementation.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, processed foods have been heavily used by consumers, especially young people, for reasons such as diversification of life time and pursuit of convenience.

[0003] Although the use of processed foods has the above-mentioned advantages, there is a problem in that nutrients are biased, and in particular, there is a shortage of minerals. Examples include osteoporosis due to lack of calcium, anemia due to lack of iron, and loss of taste due to lack of zinc. In addition, general mineral deficiency has been pointed out as one of the causes of diabetes and liver.

[0004] In order to solve the problem of mineral deficiency, it is common practice to eat foods and drinks containing alkaline ions obtained by ionizing minerals. Conventional foods and beverages containing alkaline ions include (1) high-calcium water electrolyzed by adding inorganic calcium to tap water, and (2) foods and beverages containing alkaline ions obtained by electrolyzing plant extracts. Japanese Patent Publication No. Hei 4-26828).

[0005]

However, these foods and drinks have the following problems.

[0006] As the name implies, the high calcium water of (1) has only a higher calcium concentration in minerals than tap water, and there is no great difference in other minerals from tap water. Therefore, this method has a problem that minerals other than calcium cannot be supplemented.

[0007] Also, (2) the alkaline ion-containing food and drink obtained by electrolyzing a plant extract is an excellent food and drink containing minerals other than calcium, unlike the above (1), but the raw material is a plant. Therefore, there are problems that the amount and period of raw material collection are limited, the amount that can be produced and the time when it can be produced are limited, and the cost of raw material is high because the raw material is collected manually. In addition, since plant cells are covered with a strong cell wall made of cellulose or the like, it is difficult to completely destroy the cells, and only a part of the minerals contained in the plant can be used, and mineral replenishment is required. However, there is a problem that the type and amount are insufficient for use in the above.

[0008] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a food or drink which is rich in various kinds of alkaline ions and can be produced at a low cost throughout the year according to demand.

[0009]

Means for Solving the Problems The inventors of the present invention provide:
It has been found that a food or drink containing an alkaline ion solution obtained by electrolyzing a solution of a fermentation product obtained by fermenting sea mud or an extract / purified product of the fermentation product solves the above problem. That is, the food and drink according to the present invention is a solution of a powdery substance obtained by fermenting a neutral, green jelly-like sea mud formed by burying ancient seaweed on the sea floor or extracted with pure water from the powdery substance. -It contains an alkaline ion solution obtained by electrolyzing a purified metal enzyme-containing solution.

[0010]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION A food or drink according to the present invention contains a solution in which a fermentation product of sea mud is dissolved or an alkaline ion solution obtained by electrolyzing an extracted and purified product of the fermentation product.

[0011] Sea mud is a neutral green jelly-like buried ancient seaweed on the seabed, and contains abundant iron and sulfur. When pumped from the seabed, it is oxidized by oxygen in the air and acidified. To a brown substance. In addition, it can be easily and inexpensively pumped from the sea floor through a dredging pump or the like throughout the year, and because it is abundant on the sea floor, it can be used almost endlessly according to demand.

[0012] The fermentation of sea mud is performed by alternately standing and turning over for several months in a clean environment such as a glass house where sunlight and air enter abundantly, and powdery substances described later are produced by such fermentation. Generated. By fermenting, the seaweed cells contained in the sea mud are decomposed, so that all the minerals contained in the sea mud can be used.

The powdery substance is a brown substance having a water content of about 50% (weight), and is an acidic substance containing all minerals, various amino acids, saccharides, vitamins, salts, metal enzymes and the like contained in seawater. is there. Here, minerals are elements that are required in trace amounts for maintaining life, and include, for example, calcium, zinc, manganese, molybdenum, iron, and cobalt. Amino acids refer to amino acids derived from living organisms such as L-alanine. The salts include metal salts of the above-mentioned amino acids, such as sodium glutamate and sodium chloride.

[0014] The minerals in the powdered substance bind to various amino acids to form a metalloenzyme. By forming such a metalloenzyme, it is absorbed more quickly than free alkaline ions, so that the effect of increasing the amount of accumulation in tissues is achieved.

The term "metallic enzyme-containing solution" used herein refers to a solution obtained by extracting the above-mentioned powdery substance with water and purifying it.
Therefore, while containing all minerals, various amino acids, vitamins, carbohydrates, salts and the like contained in seawater, the concentration of metalloenzyme has been considerably improved through the above-mentioned extraction and purification steps.

The alkaline ion solution can be obtained by electrolyzing an electrolytic solution obtained by dissolving the above-mentioned powdery substance in water or an electrolytic solution comprising a metal enzyme-containing solution.

In the electrolysis, for example, an electrolytic solution is poured into an electrolysis tank divided into two compartments by a partition made of a porous material such as an unglazed plate, and a cathode and an anode connected to a power supply device are partitioned. It is carried out by putting the electrolytic solution inside and outside the cell and passing a current between the electrodes. By using the partition walls of the unglazed plate, recombination of alkaline ions (cations) and acidic ions (anions) generated by electrolysis can be prevented. In addition, the electrolysis can be performed by using a commercially available alkaline ionized water producing apparatus.

The alkaline ion solution produced in this way can be used as it is, or can be used as a raw material for retort foods such as curries and stews and soft drinks such as canned coffee.
