Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a sugar-coated nutrient food capsule having excellent taste, flavor nutrient balance, stability, etc., by applying a sugar coating containing water-soluble nutrient components and water-soluble polysaccharides other than sucrose to a soft gelatin capsule containing oil-soluble nutrient components. CONSTITUTION:A soft gelatin capsule containing oil-soluble nutrient components such as vitamin A, vitamin E, etc. is prepared beforehand. A syrup containing water-soluble polysaccharides such as gum arabic, pectin, agar, etc., and powder for forming sugar coating containing water-soluble nutrient components (e.g. mixed powder of sugar and vitamin C) are sprayed alternately to the gelatin capsule to obtain the objective sugar-coated nutrient food capsule. Since the obtained capsule has a stable coating film of the water-soluble polysaccharide covering the gelatin capsule, the deterioration of the gelatin membrane by the water-soluble nutrient components such as vitamin C can be prevented, and the quality of the food can be maintained stably for a long period.

BACKGROUND ART In pharmaceuticals, confectionery, nutritional foods, etc., it is known that all or part of the constituent components are encapsulated in capsules to maintain quality. Capsules are usually made from gelatin, and there are hard capsules and soft capsules, but the latter are superior in terms of ease of swallowing or eating, so soft capsules are used in fields other than pharmaceuticals. There are many.

However, if the substance to be encapsulated is liquid, soft capsules have the disadvantage that they can only encapsulate oil-based substances.
For this reason, it is difficult to produce a nutritionally balanced nutritional food by integrating water-soluble nutritional components with oil-soluble nutritional components contained in soft capsules. A method of preparing a simple mixture of an oil-soluble nutritional ingredient-containing capsule and a powdered water-soluble nutritional ingredient or a tablet thereof (for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 57-10723
No. 8) is known, but the powder mixture is not a desirable form for food, and the method of making a tablet mixture requires reinforcement of the capsule to prevent it from breaking during tableting. Another disadvantage is that the amount of capsules cannot be increased due to moldability. Also, although products using soft Kabumol have a better mouthfeel than products using hard capsules, the capsules themselves do not have a good flavor, so in order to use them as food or drinks, they must be mixed with other substances that have a good flavor. It is necessary to incorporate flavorings and seasonings into the contents of the capsule.

Taking the above-mentioned problems into consideration, the present inventor has developed a food product that contains stable oil-soluble nutritional ingredients and water-soluble nutritional ingredients that are sealed in soft capsules and is excellent in terms of form, flavor, and nutrition. As a result of repeated research aimed at integrating oil-soluble nutritional ingredients into a single product, we came up with the idea of applying sugar coating to soft capsules containing oil-soluble nutritional ingredients, and of incorporating water-soluble nutritional ingredients (other than sugar) into this sugar-coated layer. did. As a result of experiments by Shigashina, when sugar coating containing water-soluble nutritional ingredients is applied,
It was found that the stability of the capsules was seriously impaired, and that the contents of the capsules were likely to leak out due to pinhole closure during storage, causing off-taste and odor. Such a phenomenon is particularly noticeable when the water-soluble nutritional component is vitamin C.

As a result of further experiments, it was found that the damage to the capsules was caused by water-soluble nutritional components that are reactive with gelatin, such as vitamin C, migrating to the capsule surface together with the water from the syrup that was repeatedly applied during the sugar coating formation step, causing the gelatin film to deteriorate. It turns out that this is because it causes deterioration.

The present invention provides a sugar-coated capsule product that also successfully solves the problem of decreased stability of capsules as described above, namely:
To provide a sugar-coated nutritional food in the form of a capsule, which is made by coating a soft capsule containing an oil-soluble nutritional component with a sugar coating containing a water-soluble nutritional component other than sugar and a water-soluble polysaccharide.

In the nutritional food of the present invention, the water-soluble polysaccharide contained in the sugar coating is an edible water-soluble polysaccharide represented by gum arabic, pectin, agar, sodium alginate, and the like. These polysaccharides form a stable film when dried from an aqueous solution, and this film has the ability to retain significant amounts of water due to its polymeric and hydrophilic nature. When sugar-coating (this is done by dissolving one water-soluble polysaccharide in the syrup), the water-soluble polysaccharide is added to at least the first layer (the layer closest to the capsule) of the sugar coating that is applied in many layers. When it is uniformly contained, the polysaccharide retains the moisture in the syrup added afterwards, preventing the water-soluble nutritional components that are reactive with gelatin from migrating to the capsule surface, preventing deterioration of the capsule membrane. The effect of preventing damage to capsules due to their structure is more pronounced when water-soluble polysaccharides are contained in the entire layer of the sugar coating1.
There is no need to worry about it.

In the nutritional food of the present invention, there is no particular restriction on the oil-soluble nutritional ingredients to be encapsulated in the soft capsules, and vitamins A, D, E, linoleic acid, various vegetable oils, perfume oils, etc. can be mixed as appropriate. . Although the particle size of the capsule is not particularly limited, it is usually about 0.5 to 10 mm. In addition to the water-soluble nutritional ingredients that can be contained in the sugar coating, in addition to the vitamin C mentioned earlier,
Contains vitamin BM, amino acids, minerals, etc. The effect of the present invention is most remarkable when the water-soluble components in sugar coating have a strong property of reacting with gelatin and altering it, but water-soluble components that do not react with seratin and water-insoluble components It goes without saying that both may be used at the same time. In addition to water-soluble nutritional components, the sugar coating may contain acidulants such as citric acid, pigments, flavors, and the like.

The appropriate amount of water-soluble polysaccharide to be included in the sugar coating is desirably determined through experiments. This is because the ease with which capsule membrane deterioration occurs due to the above-mentioned mechanism varies depending on the type and concentration of the gelatin-reactive component in the sugar coating, and the effectiveness of the water-soluble polysaccharide also varies depending on the type.

To produce the nutritional food of the present invention, soft capsules encapsulating oil-soluble nutritional ingredients are first produced by a conventional method, and then syrup and powder for forming a sugar coating (usually containing sugar as the main ingredient) are alternately added to the capsules. When applying sugar coating by the conventional method of spraying, it is sufficient to dissolve the water-soluble polysaccharide in the syrup. It is desirable to mix water-soluble nutritional ingredients and other additives into the powder, but if they are non-reactive with seratin, or if they form a sugar coating layer other than the innermost layer, syrup There is no problem even if it is dissolved in the liquid. After forming the sugar coating, it is desirable to dry the product until the moisture content of the product is approximately 2 to 5%.

(11) The stability of oil-soluble nutritional components and water-soluble nutritional components is good, and the quality is maintained constant for a long period of time. This is because the water-soluble polysaccharides act on oil-soluble nutritional components to prevent the capsule membrane from deteriorating, and the water-soluble nutritional components are contained in a hard sugar coating that blocks contact with oxygen and water vapor in the air. This is because it will be done.
