JPS6027364A - Production of health food having vessel-fortifying activity - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide the titled health food such as noodles, bread, etc. having the action to fortify the blood vessel and expected to be effective for the prevention of hypertension and cerebral hemorrhage, by adding powder of the flower or bud of Sophora japonica or its extracted liquid to the flour used as a raw material of the food. CONSTITUTION:KAIKA (a Chinese crude drug, flower or bud of Sophora japonica of Legminosae family) is pulverized to powder preferably passing through a No. 60 sieve. The powder is added to the cereal flour such as wheat flour, buckwheat flour, corn flour, etc. in an amount of preferably 0.05-5wt% to obtain the objective health food containing rutin, having vessel-fortifying action and useful as noodles, bread, etc. If the addition of the KAIKA powder is undesirable, an aqueous extract of the powder may be used as the additive.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for producing health foods such as udon, soba, bread, and biscuits, which can be expected to have a blood vessel strengthening effect when eaten regularly.

It is known that vitamin P is involved in the stabilization of capillaries. It all started with the discovery of a substance that enhances rutin, and later when Kotsuho identified this substance as rutin, a flavone derivative.
It was later discovered that rutin has the ability to restore capillary fragility in hypertensive patients, and it attracted attention. The present invention provides rutin in noodles such as udon, soba, snack food, and ramen, bread, and confectionery by incorporating rutin into these foods in a stable manner without impairing their texture or flavor. The purpose is to provide health foods that allow rutin to be ingested naturally in the daily diet.

It is well known that rutin is contained in the whole buckwheat plant, but its content is around 2.0% of the weight before drying, and the proportion of rutin contained in buckwheat flour itself is Even less than the whole plant. Furthermore, the rutin contained in the whole buckwheat plant has the disadvantage that unless it is heat-treated immediately after being harvested from the field, it will be degraded by an enzyme that decomposes rutin, making it impossible to obtain rutin. The inventor of this application has discovered that the Chinese herbal medicine name is 5ophora, which is a leguminous bean.
We focused on the buds of the Aponica L.), pulverized them into a fine powder, and added them to the raw material flour to produce udon, soba, etc. We were able to discern subtle changes in taste because they are deeply familiar to the Japanese eating habits. It has been discovered that it is possible to produce a healthy food that does not cause any discomfort, even when making soba or udon noodles, without impairing the texture or flavor.

The lump flower powder used in the method of the present application is preferably
Depending on the type of food to be manufactured, dried flower clumps are pulverized to a fine powder processed through a No. 60 sieve. (fusion)
If used to a certain extent, most foods will not lose their flavor or texture, will not cause any difficulty in production, and will not require any special modifications to conventional production methods. For example, in the case of noodles, if you add about 0.1 to 1% by weight of buckwheat flour or wheat flour to pulverized fenugreek powder passed through a No. 60 sieve, the appearance will look good and the rutin will dissolve in the boiling water. It's quite appropriate. If it is inconvenient to add powdered camphor depending on the product, the purpose can be achieved by manufacturing the product using an aqueous extract of the powder.

By regularly eating the health food produced by the present manufacturing method, you can ingest rutin, which has a blood vessel strengthening effect, without any resistance, and by stabilizing and strengthening the capillaries, it is effective in preventing diseases such as hypertension and cerebral hemorrhage. It is valid.
