[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a potable food composition using senna stalk, which is a waste product after removing a part to be used as a medicine, and using the senna stalk as a main material, and a method for producing the same. is there.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Senna (Cassia angusti)
folia Vahl. Or C.I. actifol
ia Delile. ) Is a leguminous shrub native to India, reaching a height of about 1 m, alternates with pinnate compound leaves consisting of 4-7 pairs of leaflets, and gives five-valve yellow flowers in summer. And the real part is offered to pharmaceuticals. Senna has a laxative effect on its efficacy, and its components include anthraquinones such as aloe-emodin, dianthrones such as sennoside ABCD, flavonoids such as kaempferol, and other components such as pinitol and salicylic.
acid and the like. The amount of senna used is generally 0.5-2 g per day in powdered form and 3-6 g per day as a decoction. Senna leaflets and fruits have a bitter smell and have a bitter taste, and when decocted, it takes time and effort, and there is a risk of spilling over. Furthermore, except for the senna lobules and the fruit, they were disposed of as waste, despite the medicinal properties, thus promoting garbage pollution and wasting resources.

[0003]

As a result of analysis by the high performance liquid chromatographic method of medicinal components contained in senna as a crude drug at the Tokyo Food Sanitation Association, 100 g of senna leaves used as a medicinal product were found. The senna medicinal component contained 740 mg and 1100 mg (Table 1). In addition, the senna seed (end) portion, which is also used as a pharmaceutical, has 1000 mg and 830 mg of the senna active ingredient in 100 g (Table 2).
It has been found.

[0004]

[Table 1]

[0005]

[Table 2]

However, the powder portion of senna stalk (powdery), which was conventionally discarded as waste, contains 420 mg of the senna medicinal component in a small amount in 100 g and 4 mg of senna medicinal component.
It was found that 70 mg was contained (Table 3). Also,
It was found that the cut pieces of the senna stalk contained 220 mg and 210 mg of the senna medicinal ingredient in 100 g (Table 4). Thus, it was found that the medicinal components of senna were contained in the senna portion other than the senna lobule and the fruit portion, though the amount was small in quantity.

[0007]

[Table 3]

[0008]

[Table 4]

Therefore, the present inventor has proposed that the senna stalk portion, which is small in quantity but still has a medicinal component, has been conventionally discarded as waste and the senna stalk portion is utilized. Crushed to obtain pieces and powder, and then roasted or heat-dried, and consisted only of waste of senna obtained by mixing the senna piece and powder with other senna having almost no medicinal component, or Thus, the present invention has completed a drinkable food composition which can be easily taken and a method for producing the same by mixing senna stems with chopped pieces and powder of a material used as a health food.

[0010]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a dried senna obtained by finely pulverizing or roasting a senna stalk, which is a waste obtained by removing a portion used as a medicine,
It is characterized in that raw materials that can be used for health food are finely ground or powdered and roasted raw materials are uniformly mixed. Further, 1 part by weight of a dried senna obtained by finely grinding or powdering the senna stem portion and 0 to 100 parts by weight of a dried roasted material obtained by finely crushing or powdering a material usable for health food are uniformly mixed. It is characterized by being mixed. Further, 3 parts by weight of a dried senna obtained by finely pulverizing or powdering the senna stem and 7 parts by weight of a dried material obtained by finely pulverizing or pulverizing a material usable for health food and roasting are uniformly mixed. It is characterized by being mixed.
Further, the dried senna and the dried material are dried by heating instead of roasting. Materials that can be used for health foods include gymnema sylvesta, garcinia, tonakaha, barley tea, barley, brown rice tea, roasted green tea, green tea, dokudami, sugana, kuku, obako, wormwood, etc. It is characterized by being mixed. In addition, the senna stalk having the senna component, which is a waste obtained by removing the site used as a pharmaceutical, is finely ground and roasted and dried. To form a powdery composition. Further, the senna stalk, which is a waste product from which a part used as a medicine has been removed, is made of only dried senna obtained by finely pulverizing or pulverizing and roasting.

The senna stalk is reduced to about 5 mm or less, and the powder of the senna stalk is ground to about 80 mesh, and the two are mixed and heated at a temperature of 60 to 200 ° C. for 3 to 20 seconds to roast. The first step of roasting, and reducing the material available for health food to about 3 mm or less, pulverizing the powder of the material to about 80 mesh and mixing both,
A second step of roasting by heating at a temperature of 00 ° C. for 3 to 20 seconds, and a tea pack formed of a permeable member by uniformly mixing the dried senna and the dried material usable for health food. And a third step of accommodating in the third step. Further, the pulverized material of the senna stalk is 130-150.
It may be roasted at about 10 to 15 seconds.

Since the senna stalk which has been disposed of as waste has a small amount but has a medicinal component, the senna stalk is finely ground or pulverized or powdered and roasted. Alternatively, the dried senna of the senna stalk and the material available for health food are finely roasted and uniformly mixed with the dried material to improve hygiene, and roast to eliminate the smell of blue odor. The flavor can be improved to make it milder and easier to eat.
Moreover, it is also possible to manufacture hygienically by heating and drying without necessarily roasting.

[0013]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION To explain the embodiment of the present invention, the senna used is a part used as a medicine (a senna lobule part listed in the Japanese Pharmacopoeia and a component used exclusively as a medicine). This is the senna stalk which is waste after removing the two parts of the fruit part which is the part having the senna. In consideration of the extraction efficiency, the degree of mixing with other materials, and the ease of handling as a product, the senna stalk portion 1a of the senna stalk portion has a length of about 3 to 8 mm, preferably 5 mm. It is formed finely. The powder 1b of the senna stem portion is 60 to 100 mesh, preferably about 80 mesh.
The powder is ground to about a mesh, and the cut pieces 1a of the senna stalk and the powder 1b of the senna stalk are roasted or dried by heating to form a dried senna 1.

In the roasting or heating and drying, the senna stalk and its powder and the chopped pieces and powder of the material usable for health food are separately prepared at a temperature of about 60-200 ° C. for 3-20 minutes.
Seconds, preferably 10-15 at a temperature of 130-150 ° C
Seconds, most preferably by roasting or heat drying at a temperature of 140 ° C. for about 15 seconds. In this case, without necessarily roasting or heating and drying separately, it is also possible to simultaneously roast or heat dry the powder of the senna stem portion and the powder of a material that can be used for health food,
By doing so, the working time can be reduced. Since the roasting or heating drying is performed at a high temperature of 60 ° C. or more for 3 to 20 seconds in a short time, loss of the medicinal component of sennoside, which is a medicinal component, can be prevented.

Sennoside hardly loses its medicinal components even when heated at 140 ° C. for about 15 seconds.
Experiments have shown that heating at 15 ° C. for more than 15 seconds results in the loss of the medicinal ingredient. For this reason, it is necessary to improve the workability by performing a sterilization treatment by roasting or heating and drying at a high temperature for as short a time as possible. Here, the heating of the senna stem is mainly for disinfecting various bacteria attached to the substance. However, since the green odor of the senna remains only by heating and drying, roasting can provide a mild taste by sterilizing the senna and eliminating the green odor by roasting the senna.

Here, E.I. The mildest condition for sterilizing E. coli (Escherichia coli) is, as shown in (1) of Table 5, assuming that the coefficient of the heat conduction time to the center of the material to be sterilized is 1.2. At 0.2C, multiplying 0.27 minutes by the heat transfer time gives 20 seconds (0.324 minutes). That is, 6
Heating at 0 ° C. for 20 seconds (19.44) seconds is required.

[0017]

[Table 5]

Similarly, E. The most severe conditions for sterilizing E. coli (Escherichia coli) are as follows. For heat-resistant bacterial spores, the coefficient of heat conduction time to the center of the material to be sterilized is assumed to be 500, and destruction of chemical components is minimized. Table 6 shows that heating at 200 ° C. for 3 seconds is sufficient. In this case, although not shown in Table 6, the scale is increased in the downward and rightward directions, and an intersection with the solid line in the graph takes a time to reach about 0.0018 seconds, which does not reach 1 second. However, based on experience, the heat conduction time to the center of the object to be sterilized must be at least 2 seconds, and if about 0.0018 seconds are added from Table 6, the fraction is small but it is advanced to 3 seconds for safety. . That is, it is derived not only from the graph of Table 6 but also from the numerical values from experiments and experiences, the degree of safety, the overall uniform heating, and the like.

[0019]

[Table 6]

Further, the optimum value of the heating time is sufficient to disinfect the bacterial spores, to minimize the destruction of chemical components, and to sufficiently satisfy the three conditions of no risk of carbonization. is necessary. Here, from Table 6, it is assumed that the coefficient of heat conduction time for starting carbonization by an object from 160 ° C. (320 ° F.) and reliably transferring heat to the center of the object (sterilized object) is 2.5. When heating at as high a temperature as possible to minimize the destruction of chemical components, the temperature that almost satisfies the above three conditions is 140 ° C (284 ° C).
F) is 15 seconds.

The heating and drying is performed not only to sterilize Escherichia coli and general bacteria contained in the senna stem and the like by blowing heated dry air or steam, but also to remove moisture. Roasting may be used instead of heating and drying. In addition to the sterilization treatment and moisture removal, roasting has the effect of removing blue odor and smoothing the flavor. In this case, the sennoside contained in the senna is very weak to heat, and if roasted or heated and dried for a long period of time, the medicinal component will be lost. In other words, there is no change in the components even when heated at 140 ° C. for about 15 seconds, but the components deteriorate when heated at 150 ° C. for 15 seconds or more. Workability is improved.

Materials that can be used in health foods, for example, gymnema sylvestre, garcinia, hattomugi, tochuha, barley tea, brown rice tea, hojicha, green tea, dokudami, sugina, kaku, obako, wormwood, etc., for example, The cut pieces 3 of Hatomugi and the cut pieces 5 of Tochuha are made smaller by about 3 mm from each side. In addition, powder of the material, for example,
Pigeon powder 3a and Tonaka leaf powder 5a are ground to about 80 mesh and roasted. In the roasting, the pulverized product is crushed at a temperature of about
0 sec, preferably 10-15 at a temperature of 130-150 ° C.
This is done by heating for seconds. In this way, the dried material 2 obtained by roasting each material can improve the flavor and taste, remove the odor, and make the material hygienic.

The materials that can be used in health foods are not limited to those described above, and it is needless to say that other materials can be used, and the above-described materials are merely examples.

The senna dried product 1 obtained by mixing the cut pieces and powder of the senna stem obtained as described above and roasting or heat-drying, and the cut pieces and powder of a material usable for health food are roasted. By mixing the dried material 2 with stirring so as to be uniform while stirring, the composition 7 of the drinkable food of the present invention can be obtained.

The mixing ratio of the two is not critical, but 1 to 100 parts by weight of a dry material made of a raw material usable for health food is 1 part by weight of the dry matter of senna. But,
There is no particular upper limit on the dried material that can be used for the health food. However, the amount is preferably 10 parts by weight or less with respect to 1 part by weight of the dried senna from the viewpoint of the medicinal effect of the medicinal component contained in the senna stem, the overall flavor and texture, and the like.

Further, in a more preferable example of the mixing ratio of the two, 3 parts by weight of the dried senna and 7 parts by weight of the dried material of the raw material usable for health food gave favorable results also in terms of flavor.

As shown in FIG.
g into a tea-pack 10 made of permeable thin paper,
It can be poured into boiling water and easily drunk like tea.

In the composition 7 according to the present invention, in addition to the above-mentioned pulverized mixture, a powder composed of a powder having a medicinal component by finely dividing the senna stem portion and a powder having an extract of a material usable for health foods is contained. The composition 9 or a simple substance obtained by thoroughly drying a senna stem to form a powder may be contained in a capsule 12 formed of a water-soluble material such as an oblate.

The powdery composition 9 is prepared by subjecting a dried senna made of the crushed senna stem and a dried material obtained by reducing a material usable for health food to water or a water-soluble organic solvent in accordance with a conventional method. (E.g., ethanol), the extract is mixed, then concentrated or roasted or dried by heating and mixed, and then extracted, and the extract is concentrated. The powdery composition 9 may be used as it is or in the form of a granule preparation, a granule preparation, or a tablet according to a conventional method, and may be stored as it is or in a can-made container 14 shown in FIG. It may be made easy to drink on the go or the like by dissolving in an appropriate beverage.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A first embodiment of the present invention will be described below. A 100 g of senna stalk is cut into small pieces 1a each having a length of about 5 mm at 140.degree.
The mixture was stirred and roasted or dried by heating for preferably 15 seconds. In the same manner, crushed pieces 5a of Tonaka leaf crushed to 3 mm square
600g of Tonaka leaf mixture 5 which is a mixture of powder and powder 5b
And 300 g of a mixture 3 of adlay obtained by mixing the cut pieces 3a and the powder 3b of the adlay into 3 mm squares are roasted or dried by heating at 140 ° C. for 3 to 20 seconds by a conventional method, and drying both. While stirring, they were mixed to be uniform. The mixed composition is packed in a thin paper tea pack 10 having good permeability. Each tea pack contained 0.5 g of nicks of the stalk stem portion, 3 g of Tonaka leaf, and 1.5 g of adlay.

The second embodiment according to the present invention will be described.
Roast or heat dry in the same manner as in the example, add about 10 times the amount of water, incubate for about 30 minutes, and filter off the residue. The extraction operation was repeated once again, and the extracts were combined and concentrated to about 1/4 volume, and the concentrate was spray-dried to obtain about 35 g of a dry extract. Further, 900 g of the ground prickle was roasted and extracted in the same manner as above to obtain about 80 g of a dry extract. The thus-obtained extract and dried extract of senna stalk were uniformly mixed with stirring to obtain a composition 7 of a drinkable food according to the present invention.

Table 5 shows the results of an investigation on the effects of weight loss and bowel movement on eating the foods and drinks according to the present invention. That is, a tea pack containing 2 g of dried senna consisting of pieces of senna stalks and powders and 3 g of barley tea in one packet was made into 600 ml of tea, which was divided and consumed several times a day. In this case, three regular meals were taken every day. In most cases, the weight loss effect was obtained and the condition of bowel movement was good for all the tested persons.

[0033]

[Table 7]

[0034]

According to the present invention, the medicinal properties of the senna are reduced since the senna stem, which has been conventionally treated as waste, has a small amount but a medicinal ingredient other than the site used as a medicine from the senna. By utilizing the components in foods, they can be made into various forms as health foods and consumed for drinking. In addition, by using waste as a resource, it is possible to cooperate with the reduction of garbage and to effectively use resources.
