JPS5925671A - Preparation of enriched edible pollen - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain enriched edible pollen having excellent digestibility and containing the same active components as raw pollen, by adding a component decomposable easily with heat, e.g. vitamin C, etc. to treated pollen. CONSTITUTION:Although pollen is a very tiny particle having a diameter of usually 30-40mu, it is covered with a mantle layer made of a hard substance having extremely high chemical stability and is not easily digestible. To improve digestibility of pollen, the mantle layer of pollen is broken by a proper method such as rapid temperature change, etc., and the content having high nutrient value is extracted. The extracted substance is mixed with a component of pollen or a component same as that of pollen which is relatively easily decomposable by temperature change, especially at high temperature, e.g. vitamin C, etc., and royal jelly. An easily digestible product having the effect of vitamin C as well as that of pollen can be prepared by this process.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for producing fortified edible pollen that further increases the nutritional value of pollen added to nutritional foods and the like.

Pollen contains many times more sugar and amino acids than normal cells, as well as other proteins, vitamins, and enzymes.Nutritional foods and cosmetics are made using pollen hardened with flower honey (also known as pollen dumplings). It is commercially available. However, the pollen grains are usually about 40 to 40 microns, with the largest being 100 to 2 microns.
Although it is very small at 0.00 microns, its mantle is chemically very stable and made of a hard substance, so if you add nuclear pollen to food, it will hardly break down. It will be ejected without any waste.

Conventionally, in order to improve the digestion and absorption of pollen, the mantle of pollen grains is broken by enzymatic treatment, mechanical treatment, or sudden and drastic temperature changes, and the highly nutritious contents are extracted. However, among these methods, the most effective method of crushing is to apply a sudden change in temperature. There is a problem that when treated with heat, components that are relatively weak against heat, such as vitamin C, are decomposed and hardly any remain.

Therefore, the present invention has been developed in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and by adding components that are easily decomposed by heat, such as vitamin C, to pollen or treated pollen, it is as effective as the original pollen. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for producing fortified edible pollen that is easily digested and absorbed.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be explained in order of j[1I-1.

Really good! I) After storing 50g of pollen or pollen load (various types of pollen) in a freezer at around 20C for more than 24 hours,
The contents of the pollen grains were expelled from the germination opening of the pollen grains by rapidly pouring about 2 g of boiling water at ~100C into a mixer bowl and stirring.
Refrigerated J1 at 5-10C for 24 hours after cooling to 0tr or less (
Save with . After that, the supernatant liquid was discarded and the precipitated pollen was
Use P cloth of about 5 mesh, and use discarded pollen 1859 for PRk. (50g as pollen and the rest is water) On the other hand, 4009g of lactose. Starch 40Q, granulated sugar 6
29. Mix 22g of vitamin C well to make it homogeneous.

Incidentally, vitamin C and granulated sugar are thoroughly crushed in a mortar and, if necessary, sieved through a 60-mesh sieve.

The pre-processed pollen 1859 is placed in a mortar, and the mixture of lactose, starch, granulated sugar, and vitamin C is added to the mixture in a conventional manner and mixed well. After that, make granules with a 1ifi or granulator with a mesh size of about 24, and
Dry with 50tT hot air'? After c, the particles are sieved through a sieve with a size of about 2 to 12 mesh to size the particles and produce products. Incidentally, the size of the finished product in this case was about 5309.

Example 2) Frozen 50g of pollen at around 20C
After storing for more than 24 hours, pour about 2 portions of boiling water at 90-100C rapidly into a mixer bowl and pour 1. Stir to nucleate the pollen contents. 1) Dispense from the germination port and immediately cool to below 40C. 2)
Store in the refrigerator at 5~10r for 4 hours.

After that, the supernatant liquid was discarded, and the precipitated pollen was filtered through a 225-mesh F cloth, and the cloth was further wrung to reduce moisture, and 160 ml of the treated pollen was collected.

Take the treated pollen 1609 in milk ρ1z, add raw Royalse IJ-259 and mix well.
A mixture of lactose, starch, granulated sugar, and vitamin C mixed in the same 1N as in the example was added little by little by the usual method,
Mix well to make it homogeneous.

After that, make granules using a 24 mesh sieve or granulator, immediately dry with hot air at 40-50C, and then
It is sieved through a 2-mesh sieve and sized to produce a product. In this case, the finished product had a rilV of about 5209.

As described above, according to the present invention, the active ingredients of pollen, such as vitamin C, which have been decomposed and lost through heat treatment, are as effective as or more than the vitamin C, etc. contained in the original pollen. By adding K, it is possible to obtain a product that has the effects of vitamin C and pollen and is easily digested and absorbed, and the effect is further improved by adding royal jelly as in the second example. be able to. Furthermore, by adding vitamin C, it is possible to produce a food with less of the pollen's unique odor, an edible sour taste, and a high nutritional value compared to a product made from pollen alone.

Claims (1)

[Claims] Vitamin C, which is relatively easily decomposed by temperature, especially t6 temperature, is added to the processed pollen, which is easily digested and absorbed by crushing the mantle of pollen grains and extracting the active ingredients by subjecting them to sudden temperature changes or by other appropriate methods. A method for producing enriched edible pollen, characterized in that it is obtained by adding pollen, the same components as those contained in the pollen, and royal jelly.
