Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a method for improving the odor and taste of alcohol and antibacterial agents using a marine silicon earth extract containing humic substances and minerals.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In the production of foods, alcohol and alcohol-containing substances are used for the purpose of improving the preservability of foods and for the purpose of improving flavors. In recent years, low-chlorinated foods have been increasingly required. Alcohol use is increasing. In particular, due to the outbreak of pathogenic Escherichia coli O-157, the use of alcohol has been significantly increased in environmental hygiene.

[0003] The use of alcohol achieves its purpose, but on the other hand, it presents its odor and bitter taste defects, so there is a need for a method of improving it. Also,
Antibacterial agents, disinfectants, and bacteriostats derived from chemical or natural products also have problems in their unique odor and taste. But,
No new method has been proposed to improve the odor and taste.

[0004]

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present inventors have developed a method for improving the smell of alcohol or alcohol-containing substances and the peculiar bitter unpleasant taste, and using alcohol as one of antibacterial agents, disinfectants and bacteriostats. Or when coexisting in two or more types, completed the present invention as a result of intensive studies to improve the bad smell and taste of alcoholic odor and antibacterial agent, disinfectant and bacteriostatic agent by a novel method. It was done.

[0005]

Means for Solving the Problems The present inventor has paid attention to marine silicon soil having a specific quality, and has proposed a method for selectively extracting humic acid and fulvic acid by using the marine silicon soil. It has been found that an extract containing a humic substance and minerals can be obtained, and this can be solved by a method of coexisting with an alcohol, or one or more of an alcohol, an antibacterial agent, a disinfectant and a bacteriostat.

That is, marine silicon earth in a certain condition range is prepared by using water or hot water, or water and ethanol,
An extract containing humic acid, fulvic acid, or one or two humic substances and ionized minerals coexisting under the condition of pH 2.5 to 8.0 is extracted with alcohol 100.
Alcohol and / or antibacterial agent, disinfectant,
It is a method that can improve and solve the odor and taste defects of bacteriostatic agents and the like.

A marine silicon earth extract containing one or two humic substances, humic acid or fulvic acid, and minerals is
Improving the smell and taste of alcohol has not been previously reported.

The marine silicon soil used in the present invention is not a conventional mere silicon soil but contains a marine humic substance, and is different from a land-based humic substance and a river-based humic substance. This is a very important condition for achieving the invention.

The humic substance referred to in the present invention is a relatively stable organic compound remaining after the body of a plant or animal has lost its life and has undergone a physical change, and is a distinct compound such as a protein, amino acid or carbohydrate. , But refers to other organic compounds.

The marine silicon earth used as a raw material contains 30 to 34% of organic matter, 15 to 19% of silicon, and 0.8 to 90% of total nitrogen.
1.2%, ammonia nitrogen 7-9% mg, crude ash content 58
~ 62%, phosphorus 98 ~ 105ppm, potassium 0.35 ~
0.5%, calcium 0.1-0.3%, iron 1.9-

m, a quality having a water content of 7 to 12% is used as a condition.

This is pulverized and extracted with water or warm water or water and alcohol in a pH range of 2.5 to 8 to obtain humic acid, humic substances of fulvic acid, minerals, etc. contained in marine silicon earth. Is obtained from a physical step of obtaining and filtering a liquid containing, and is extracted without performing a chemical reaction operation.

Preferably, marine silicon earth is extracted with water,
It is desirable that the extracted filtrate has a pH in the range of 2.5 to 3.5.

[0013] The marine silicon earth extract contains at least one or two of marine humic acids and fulvic acids.
Naturally, the elemental composition of humic acid is different from those of terrestrial humic acid and fulvic acid, in which carbon is 50 to 62% and hydrogen is 4.4 to 4.
9%, oxygen 23 to 40%, nitrogen 0.6 to 3.2%, sulfur 0.6 to 1.0%. The elemental composition of fulvic acid is 50 to 60% carbon, 4.3 to 6 hydrogen. 0.8%, oxygen 32-40
%, 0.7 to 6.4% of nitrogen and 0.4 to 0.65% of sulfur, provided that they contain ionized minerals.

In particular, the minerals are those in which metal ions containing brass ions are present, such as calcium,
It is a water-soluble, ionized mineral such as potassium, sodium, and magnesium. The marine silicon earth extract in the present invention refers to a solution containing these limited humic substances and minerals.

Even when the marine silicon earth extract of the present invention is diluted 100 times or more with water, for example, it conforms to the standard for food and additives and the standard for fresh water. It complies with the water quality standard items.

Since the marine silicon earth is a natural raw material, it is filtered by a known filtration method if the extract is colored or the like depending on the quality or if the color tone is problematic depending on the application. Or it may be decolorized and deodorized using a known adsorbent, and does not hinder the present invention.

The marine silicon earth extract is diluted 100 times,
Considering its antibacterial effect, Staphylococcus aureus is less than or equal to 600.000 per ml after 48 hours (the subject is 1.000.000 to 340.000), and Salmonella is 980.000 per ml after 18 hours. 000 is 3.1
At the same time, Vibrio parahaemolyticus showed 34
0.000 is 1 or less) and 24 pathogenic E. coli O-157
Since it has antibacterial activity against various food poisoning bacteria and pathogenic bacteria, such as having an antibacterial activity of 330.000 per ml or less after 10 hours, it can coexist with alcohol and a substance having antibacterial activity. It does not hinder its antimicrobial properties and can be enhanced by a synergistic effect.
