JPS608776B2 - Method for producing enriched edible pollen - Google Patents

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, and contains a large amount of other components that are effective for the human body, such as proteins and vitamins and enzymes, so it is highly nutritious. There are nutritional foods and cosmetics on the market that use pollen (also called pollen balls, which are made by hardening honey bees with flower honey).

However, although the pollen grains are very small, usually 30 to 40 microns, and the largest ones are 100 to 200 microns, their mantle is made of a hard substance that is chemically very stable. If added directly to foods, etc., it will be excreted without being decomposed.
Conventionally, in order to improve the digestion and absorption of pollen, the mantle of pollen grains is crushed by enzymatic treatment, mechanical treatment, or sudden temperature changes, and the highly nutritious contents are extracted. Of these methods, applying a rapid temperature change is the most effective crushing method, but when such processing is performed, especially when processed at high temperatures, There is a problem in that components that are relatively weak against heat, such as vitamin C, are decomposed and hardly any remain.

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

Embodiments of the present invention will be sequentially described below. Example 1 After storing 50 days of pollen or pollen load (regardless of the type of pollen) in a freezer at around -200°C for more than 2 hours,
The pollen grains were poured into a mixer bowl while rapidly pouring boiling water of 0 to 100℃ for about 2 minutes, and the pollen contents were expelled from the germination opening of the pollen grains, and then immediately cooled to below 40℃.
Store in the refrigerator from 5pm to 10am.

Thereafter, the supernatant solution was discarded, and the precipitated pollen was heated in a furnace cloth of about 225 mesh, and the oven solution was discarded to obtain 185 particles of treated pollen. (Pollen contains 50% water, while lactose contains 40% water.)
Thoroughly mix 0 ml, 40 ml of starch, 62 ml of granulated sugar, and 22 ml of vitamin C to make the whole mixture uniform. Furthermore, vitamin C
The granulated sugar is thoroughly crushed in a mortar, and if necessary, it can be strained through knots of about 60 mesh. Take 185 pieces of the treated pollen in a mortar and add the lactose,
Add the starch, granulated sugar, and vitamin C mixture little by little and mix well.

After that, grains are made using a knot of about 24 mesh or a jaw grain machine, immediately dried with hot air of 40 to 5,000, and then sieved again with knots of about 12 mesh to size the grains. still,
The amount of finished product in this case was approximately 530 ta. Example 2 After storing 50 days of pollen or pollen load in a freezer at around -2,000 for more than 2 hours, pour boiling water at 90 to 10,000 degrees rapidly for about 2 days and put it in a mixer bowl and light it.
After the pollen contents are discharged from the germination port of the pollen grains, the pollen grains are immediately cooled to below 40 qC and stored in a refrigerator at 5 to 10 pm for 2 hours.

After that, the supernatant liquid was discarded and the precipitated pollen was filtered through a furnace cloth of about 225 mesh, and the cloth was further squeezed to reduce the water content to obtain 160 mm of treated pollen. Take 160 tons of the treated pollen in a mortar, add 25 tons of raw royal jelly, and mix well.
A mixture of lactose, starch, granulated sugar, and vitamin C mixed in the same amounts as in the first example is added little by little by a conventional method and mixed well to make the mixture uniform.

After that, grains of about 24 mesh or grains are made using a grain machine, immediately dried with hot air at 40 to 50℃, and then
The particles are passed through a knot of about 2 mesh to size the particles, and are made into a product. The amount of finished product in this case was about 520 #. 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, can be reduced to an amount equal to or more than the vitamin C, etc. contained in the original pollen. By adding to the powder, it is possible to obtain a product with the effects of vitamin C and pollen that is easily digested and absorbed, and the effect can be further improved by adding royal jelly as in the second example. be able to.

Claims (1)

[Claims] 1. Vitamin C, which is relatively easily decomposed by temperature, especially high temperatures, is added to highly digestible and absorbable pollen, which is obtained by subjecting the pollen grains to a sudden change in temperature or by crushing the mantle of the pollen grains and extracting the active ingredients. 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.
