JPH10248509A - Common horsetail koji and its production - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain koji (malt for food fermentation) including plenty of calcium included in plants. SOLUTION: The powder of common horsetails being a plant including plenty of calcium is mixed into grain to produce noodles. Thereby calcium in the common horsetails is mixed in the noodle to replenish calcium by eating the noodles.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to noodles containing horsetail.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a noodle mixed with a plant, yomogi soba is known (for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 56-35415).
Also, as a noodle with enhanced calcium, a mixture of calcium carbonate powder is known (for example, Japanese Patent Publication No.
No. 3-28574). However, noodles in which calcium is enhanced by adding a plant are not known.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention] To promote the growth of children,
In order to maintain health, balanced nutrition is indispensable, but calcium deficiency has become remarkable in recent dietary habits. This is mainly due to the avoidance of small fish, the source of calcium. Therefore, various foods with enhanced calcium have been put on the market, but all of them have added calcium powder and do not utilize calcium contained in plants in a natural form. When ingesting nutrients, it goes without saying that it is preferable to ingest directly from foods that exist in nature such as plants and animals.

[0004]

Means of solving the problems The horsetail noodles of the present invention are:
Noodles are prepared by mixing 4 to 8 parts by weight of dried horsetail powder and a small amount of natural salt (about 0.3 to 0.8 parts by weight) with flour. This horsetail noodle is dried in the shade without applying heat, and then powdered, 4 to 10 parts by weight of horsetail powder and 0.3 to 0.8 parts by weight of natural salt are mixed with flour, and water is added. In addition, it is manufactured by making noodles. Then, by this method, a horsetail noodle rich in calcium is obtained.

[0005]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The horsetail used in the present invention may be native, but in order to enhance the nutritional value, an organic fertilizer such as rice bran, oil cake or dried okara is used in a field where lactic acid bacteria are bred. Cultivated is preferred. The harvested horsetail is removed from the roots and air-dried in the shade. By drying in the shade, there is no alteration of nutrients such as vitamins and calcium contained in horsetail. It is not preferable to apply heat by sun drying or hot air drying in which direct sunlight is applied, because it causes deterioration of nutrients. After drying, the horsetail is powdered. By extracting only the calcium content and making the whole amount into a powder, the fiber material of horsetail can also be used,
An intestinal action can also be obtained.

[0006] Horsetail has the power to generate calcium by itself, and its components are shown in Table 1.

[Table 1]

The present invention includes natural salts. Natural salt is divided into private salt, which is produced by regenerating proprietary salt, and natural sea salt. Natural sea salt is particularly preferable. High purity sodium chloride salt does not contain calcium and minerals, but natural salt contains calcium and minerals. In particular, natural sea salt produced using a salt field or a salt field-like device contains a large amount of calcium and minerals (both naturally occurring in the natural world), and is therefore optimal in terms of enhancing calcium and minerals.

[0008] Table 2 shows the components of "Umi no Se" (trade name) from Izu Oshima, a typical natural sea salt.

[Table 2]

[0009] 4 to 8 parts by weight of the above horsetail powder and 0.3 to 0.8 parts by weight of natural salt are mixed with the remaining flour (mainly flour), and water is added to produce noodles in a usual manner. The horsetail surface of the present invention is obtained. Since the horsetail noodle of the present invention contains a large amount of calcium contained in horsetail, it is possible to ingest calcium, which tends to be insufficient by eating the noodle, from natural plants. In addition, since the mineral is abundant and the fiber of the horsetail is contained in a large amount, the effect of adjusting the function in the body can be obtained. It is preferable that the amount of the horsetail powder is large, but if it exceeds about 8 parts by weight, the noodles will not be connected.

[0010]

EXAMPLE A horsetail cultivated using an organic fertilizer in a field where lactic acid bacteria were propagated was shade-dried, and after removing roots, it was powdered. 200 grams of this horsetail powder and natural sea salt 10
0 g and 2,500 g of flour were mixed together, and mineral water was added thereto and kneaded well to obtain udon noodles having a thin cross section of about 2 mm thick and about 3 mm wide. This udon noodle has a brownish color because it contains about 8 parts by weight of horsetail powder, and because it contains a large amount of fiber, it has no sticky feeling and is closer to noodles than udon. It was a feeling. Also, there was no sense of bitter smell or bitterness that was feared by mixing horsetail.
