JPH11127A - Taurine-added seasoning - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a taurine-added miso or soy sauce hopeful of geriatric disease-preventive effect. SOLUTION: The equipment for producing this taurine-added seasoning is as follows: made of plastic or such metal as not to contaminate foods (e.g. stainless steel, aluminum alloy); made up of a taurine stock part with the upper portion being cylindrical and the bottom of conical form and the lower portion representing an air lock-type volume meter-type rotary valve-type weighing equipment; and taurine feed can be regulated by regulating the number of revolutions. Taurine's powdery crystal <=1 mm in particle size is put into the taurine stock part, and 0.5-10 g, per 100 g of miso, or 0.5-9 g, per 100 ml of soy sauce, of taurine is weighed using the above weighing equipment, and then added to the miso or soy sauce to obtain the objective seasoning.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a person who has a limited intake of salt and is constantly anxious about the regular use of miso and soy sauce. It is hoped that many people will be able to moderate the progress of the symptoms due to the excellent effect of adding taurine, and to provide miso and soy sauce that can be used more safely than before.

2. Description of the Related Art Both miso and soy sauce contain 10% or more salt and are difficult to use regularly for people with hypertension and other adult diseases. Therefore, low sodium miso and salt-reduced soy sauce with half the amount of salt are commercially available. In addition, nutrient-improving foods appropriately combined with other nutrients such as calcium, vitamins and methionine are also commercially available. However, focusing on the effectiveness of taurine, miso and soy sauce to which taurine has been added have not yet been marketed.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Taurine (NH ₂ C ₂
H ₄ SO ₃ H) is a free amino acid present in the body of an animal and, unlike other amino acids, sugars and vitamins, is free from optical isomers and is one of the few in vivo substances that can be chemically synthesized. It is present in the body of animals and seaweeds, and rarely found in land plants. Its metabolism is the final product produced by metabolic enzymes such as cysteine deoxynase from methionine and cysteine, which are protein constituent amino acids, in the animal body, conjugates with body fat, and partly circulates in the enterohepatic circulation in the body,
Some are excreted in feces and the like. In the body, the brain, visual tissues,
It is unevenly distributed in organs such as the heart, liver, bile, kidney, and pancreas, or in body fluids such as blood, lymph, and cerebrospinal fluid, and is the largest free amino acid particularly in the myocardium. Until recently, taurine existed in vivo, but little was known about its effects. The U.S. FDA standard mandates the addition of taurine to infant formula, which is 950 mg / hr for human colostrum.
This is because 100 mL of taurine is contained, and in the United States and Europe, it has been found that the intake of arachidosine-saturated fatty acid from meat that is frequently consumed increases, and this leads to various adult diseases. Taurine has been found to be conjugated to these to form taurocholate bile and excreted in feces. Taurine is also ubiquitously present in the brain and plays a role of a central nervous regulator, and the heart is driven by Ca ⁺⁺ inotropic action, but taurine is involved in the transport of Ca ⁺⁺ through cell membranes.
It is also involved in the regulation of Na through the Na ⁺ channel, and is also effective in preventing hypercalcemia, saline hypertension, cholesterol hypertension, etc., and relieving myocardial fatigue. With respect to such physiological effects, taurine is attracting attention as a nutrient rather than a drug, and there is a theory that “taurine / cholesterol level” should be used as a nutritional guideline for the prevention of adult diseases.
To prevent the accumulation of cholesterol in the body,
Some argue that the cholesterol value ≧ 2 should be considered. As described above, it can be seen that taking taurine is extremely effective for various adult diseases.

Means for solving the problems: The material of the apparatus is metal or plastic which does not contaminate the food. Taurine powder crystals of 1 mm or less are put in the upper stock part, and the supply amount of taurine is adjusted by the rotary valve type meter at the lower part. In the case of miso, the weight of the raw material to be put into the adjustment process such as blending is 100g
The amount of taurine is adjusted to a range of 0.5 gr to 0.9 gr with respect to r, and the mixture is put into the blending step together. In addition, in the case of soy sauce, before burning the raw fried soy sauce, 0.5 gr to 0.9 gr of taurine is added to 100 mL of the raw material to be burned.
Adjust the range and supply together with the fire.

【Example】

[Example 1] In the case of miso, the blending ability is about 10
At a 0 kg / Hr miso factory, a taurine addition facility was temporarily installed above the blending device, and 5 g of taurine was added to the raw material.
The raw material was charged into the blending machine at a ratio of r / 100 gr. In the resulting product, taurine was sufficiently mixed with the miso, no taurine crystals were found alone, and the taste was the same as before when tasted.

Example 2 In the case of soy sauce, a small coiled discontinuous burning device with a processing capacity of about 100 L / Hr was used. However, a taurine addition facility was temporarily installed at the top of a raw fried soy sauce supply tank, and taurine was added to the raw fried soy sauce in the tank. 5gr / Material soy sauce 100m
Taurine was added at a ratio of L, the branch pipe was taken out from the supply pump discharge side to the burn-in device, returned to the tank, and the inside of the tank was stirred to dissolve the taurine, and then the mixed solution was sent to the burn-in device. In the resulting product, taurine was completely dissolved, and when tested, the taste was completely the same as before. In the case of reduced salt soy sauce, 10 gr of taurine / 100 mL of raw soy sauce is dissolved, but in the case of ordinary soy sauce, 9 gr of taurine / 100 mL.
Only soluble to a degree.

Claims (1)

[Claims] The equipment material is stainless steel, aluminum alloy or other metal that does not contaminate food, or plastic.The upper part consists of a raw material stock part with a cylindrical shape and the bottom with a cone shape.
The lower part is an aerodynamic capacity metering type rotary valve type meter that can adjust the amount of supply by adjusting the number of revolutions. A taurine powder crystal of 1 mm or less is placed in the upper material stock part, and the lower rotary valve type metering is performed. This system adjusts the required amount of taurine with a vessel. In the case of miso, it is adjusted to a range of 0.5 gr to 10 gr of taurine with respect to the weight of 100 gr of the raw material that is fermented and aged in a fermenter and adjusted for blending and the like. Then, it is fed into the blending process together with the raw materials. In the case of soy sauce, before burning the fried soy sauce, the volume of raw materials to be burned is 100
Adjust to a range of 0.5 to 9 gr taurine per mL and feed together and fire. Taurine supply system having these characteristics and taurine 0.5 gr to 10 gr /
