Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for producing tablets that can effectively replenish salt for people who sweat profusely due to high-temperature work or sports.

Traditionally, people working in high-temperature working environments have responded by eating umeboshi (pickled plums) or table salt as they are to replenish the salt lost through excessive sweating. However, there are problems with hygiene, such as nausea, vomiting, swelling, and other symptoms when salt is put directly into the stomach on an empty stomach, and salt alone is salty and difficult to ingest.

Tablets of table salt are also manufactured, but they have the advantage of being more portable than powdered table salt.
It also has the same problems as mentioned above. Furthermore, such salt tablets have a deliquescent property like salt crystal particles, and therefore have a short shelf life.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, the present invention aims to provide a salt replenishment tablet that is not only in the form of a tablet that is convenient to carry, but also is resistant to deliquescence during storage and exhibits not only a salty taste but also a soft salty taste with sourness and sweetness when ingested. It was done for a purpose.

That is, according to the present invention, salt microcrystalline particles have a particle size of 50 to 150μ and have a particle size of 50 to 150μ, which are adhered by a water-soluble polymer substance and have the appearance of porous spherical particles with an uneven surface as a whole. Glucose and particle size 50-150
Mix uniformly with μ citric acid to form a fine powder mixture,
By compressing this fine powder mixture into tablets, the intended salt supplement tablets iI+ can be manufactured.

The salt crystal particles used in the present invention are fine particles with an uneven surface and the appearance of porous spherical particles, unlike conventional salt crystal particles. They are bound to each other by polymeric substances such as gums such as guar gum, tamarind miko polysaccharide, alginic acid pyrene glycol 1 ester, CMC, etc., and part or most of the surface of the crystal particles is coated, and the whole It is a porous spherical particle.

These porous salt fine particles usually have a particle size of 50-150μ, a relatively small bulk density of 0.4-0.7g/'♂, have good fluidity in a smooth state, and are difficult to clump. Sarak has unique properties such as being easy to dissolve and having a mild, non-irritating salty taste.

Several methods have already been patented for manufacturing such porous salt fine particles, such as spraying a solution of a small amount of a water-soluble polymer dissolved in salt into a dry atmosphere and drying it. A method (Japanese Patent Publication No. 51-28704), in which a suspended mixed solution consisting of a supersaturated saline solution in which the supersaturated portion of common salt is suspended in fine particles and a water-soluble molecular substance is kept in a dry atmosphere while maintaining a uniformly dispersed state. A method of spraying and drying (Japanese Patent Publication No. 52-39907) is known.

Further, such porous salt fine particles are available under the trade name r
It is available as a commercial product as ss-8ALTJ (manufactured by Sawara Food Industry Co., Ltd.).

In the present invention, the salt fine particles as described above are mixed with the glucose fine powder and the citric acid fine powder, and this mixture is directly compressed into tablets using a tablet machine, so that the salt fine particles are mixed into the glucose and citric acid. This results in a uniformly dispersed state, which prevents the crystals from floating due to moisture absorption, and provides a tablet with shelf life. The porous salt fine particles have a mild salty taste by themselves, but because they are uniformly dispersed in the fine powder of glucose and citric acid, the salty taste becomes even softer.

In order to uniformly disperse the fine salt particles in glucose and citric acid, it is necessary to blend all of these components as fine powder with uniform particle sizes1.For this reason, in the present invention, the salt The particle size of fine particles is 50~150μ
, glucose and citric acid must be used as fine powders with a particle size of 50 to 150μ.

Instead of the porous salt fine particles used in the present invention, fine crystal particles obtained by pulverizing common salt crystal particles to a particle size of about 50 to 150 μm are used, and these are used as glucose and citric acid fine powders with a particle size of 50 to 150 μm. If tablets are made by mixing with chlorine and tablets, the fine salt crystal particles absorb moisture during storage and form relatively large lumps, which appear as spots on the tablet surface. - When I ate it, I felt a strong salty taste. From this, it can be understood that the use of porous salt fine particles is essential in order to have good storage stability, uniformly disperse the salt fine particles, and provide a non-irritating salty taste.

Furthermore, in the present invention, since glucose and citric acid are blended together with common salt, a soft salty taste with sweetness and sourness can be imparted. In particular, by mixing 15 to 35 parts by weight of salt, 40 to 70 parts by weight of glucose, and 5 to 25 parts by weight of citric acid, a desirable taste similar to that of pickled plums can be imparted.

Furthermore, glucose is a substance that is broken down in the body and becomes an energy source, and citric acid is an important substance in intracellular substance metabolism, so by ingesting these substances together with table salt, you can replenish salt and become a nutritional source. A replenishing effect can also be expected.

In carrying out the present invention, finely powdered porous salt particles having a predetermined particle size range, glucose, and citric acid are uniformly mixed in a desired ratio, and this mixture is directly processed using an ordinary tableting machine. All you have to do is press it into tablets. Note that, prior to tabletting, it is desirable to dry each component under reduced pressure to reduce the water content as much as possible.

It is essential that each component be made into melon grains within a predetermined particle size range, but it is desirable to make the particle sizes of each component as equal as possible. It is preferable to uniformly distribute each component.

In addition, it is of course possible to add a lubricant commonly used in tabletting, and further components such as vitamins and minerals may be added as appropriate.

The present invention will be further explained below with reference to Examples.

Example Porous spherical salt fine particles (trade name rss-8ALTJ
, particle size 50~'150μ, bulk density o, eg/cw'
) 15 parts by weight, 65 parts by weight of glucose fine powder (particle size 50 μ), 15 parts by weight citric acid fine powder (particle size 50 μ), and lubricant (trade name “Lovely Wax” 70 manufactured by India Sangyo ■) 5φ1 These parts were uniformly mixed to form a fine powder mixture. Since this mixture contained about 6% by weight of water as it was, it was dried in a vacuum dryer at 90°C for 3 hours to reduce the water content to 0.38% by weight. This dry mixture was processed using a prototype tabletting machine (TK2 type)1) at a temperature of 21 to 22°C and a humidity of 45°C.
Tablets with a hardness of 0.48a/1 tablet and a hardness of 27.4kg/cI2 were prepared by compressing in an atmosphere of ~50%.

The resulting tablets had a homogeneous white glossy surface in which the individual fine powder particles could not be discerned with the naked eye, and had a non-irritating, mildly salty, pickled plum-like taste. In addition, the tablets were packaged in simple packaging for 30 minutes in an environment with a temperature of 30°C and humidity of 80%.
No change in appearance or taste was observed even after storage for several days.

For comparison, the same example was carried out except that salt crystalline fine particles (particle size 5° to 150μ, bulk density 1.15!II/CI') were used in place of the porous salt fine particles in the above examples. Tablets were prepared using the same recipe and procedure as in the example. The appearance of the obtained tablets was such that the fine salt crystal particles appeared to be shining in the white color, and when the tablets were stored in the same environment as in the above-mentioned horizontal example, after 7 days had passed. Spots resembling agglomerates of salt crystal particles appeared on the tablet surface. The tablets with such spots were more salty than the tablets of the above examples.

As can be seen from the above, in the present invention, by using porous spherical salt fine particles, fine powdered glucose and citric acid, it is possible to form tablets with good compressibility, and the obtained The tablets have a long shelf life with each ingredient evenly dispersed, and have a mild salty taste similar to pickled plums!
However, it has many advantages such as being able to supply both salt and nutrition at the same time.
