CONSTITUTION:A pollen load-containing composition obtained by incorporating 1pts.wt. pollen load, e.g. passing through a 25 mesh screen, with preferably 0.5-1.0pts.wt. cyclodextrin, preferably beta-cyclodextrin consisting of 7 glucose units and copulverizing the resultant mixture in a pulverizer.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Field of Application The present invention makes it possible to make various formulations and granules easier by converting pollen, which is attracting attention as a health food, into a non-hygroscopic fine powder. By improving storage stability, the range of use as a health food will be expanded.

Conventional technology Pollen is the pollen that bees collect from flowers, and as seen in ancient China, ancient Belja, Egypt, and Greek mythology, pollen, along with honey, was considered to be a food of eternal youth and longevity. That's what I was told. In particular, in recent years, a method for collecting pollen has been established, and its medicinal efficacy has been investigated, and it has been found to be effective against chronic prostatitis, encephalitis, hepatitis, bronchitis, kh vascular sclerosis, etc. Its use as a health food is increasing. By the way, pollen is collected by bees in a lump called Mineno9, and in order to use it as a variety of health foods, it needs to be crushed and powdered, and currently it is made into a coarse powder of about 25 mesh. Pollen has a hard shell, and in order to increase the utilization rate of the pollen load in the body, it is necessary to finely powder it (200 to 3
However, when it is made into a fine powder using the conventional grinding method, it absorbs moisture quickly and forms large lumps (for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 59-159763
No. Publication Examination 1M). In order to solve this problem, efforts have been made to add large pupil dextrin, lactose, or carboxymethyl cellulose, but this has the disadvantage of lowering the 1111I value used because it lowers the pollen content too much. Rarely.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In order to make pollen particles easier to use in vivo, when they are ground into fine powder (100 to 300 mesh units) using a pulverizer, the hygroscopicity is 10,000, and large lumps are formed immediately. However, there were difficulties in formulation and granulation. An example of a normal powdered base material to solve the problem
are dextrin, lactose, cellulose,! When using j4, it is safe to add the powdered base material on at least 1 of 2@IJ of pollen charge.

There was a drawback that the pollen content was low. Means for Solving Problem 1 The present inventors selected cyclodextrin (hereinafter abbreviated as CD) as an auxiliary agent for pulverizing pollen, and by co-pulverizing pollen and CD, the pollen content was high. It is a fine powder and has a high bioavailability! i! The inventors have succeeded in developing a skewer for producing pollen-containing powder gold with low moisture content, and have thus completed the present invention. That is, the present invention relates to a non-hygroscopic pollen composition containing pollen grains and CD.

In the present invention, Ihi powder and the above-mentioned fireflies are collected from flowers, and the concept also includes things other than honey and/or its outer components. In addition, ti is added to the pollen load.
Contains various vitamins mainly from the B group, rutin, minerals below potassium, essential amino acids and enzymes,
It is expected to have effects on longevity, beauty, and mental disorders, and has been considered a nutritional food in the West for over 20 years.
It is used as a.

Cyclodextrin in the present invention refers to starch and (
or) a cyclic dextrin produced by the action of cyclodextrin lycosyltransferase on a starch hydrolyzate.

It is known that CD is mainly composed of α-1β- and σ-cyclodextrin due to the number of glucose components.

Although any of the three types of dextrose of the present invention or a mixture of these three types of dextrose may be used, it is preferable to use β-CD consisting of seven glucose molecules. The present invention is carried out by mixing commercially available pollen grains of approximately 25 mesh size with β-CD and then co-pulverizing the mixture using a pulverizer.

The method of adding CD is CDo, 2sl for one pollen load.
The effect is recognized when used above the spear part, but it is preferable to use CD
It is effective to use 0.5 to 1.0 parts by weight, and it is possible to produce a fine powder pollen load with good fluidity and low hygroscopicity.

Effect of the invention The effects of the present invention will be explained using experimental examples.

Experimental example Pollen load (25 mesh Panu, Akitaya main store) and "IN"
IDIX-B (β-CD, Sanraku (ceramic)) was weighed and weighed to have the composition shown in Table 1, giving a total weight of 200 g.
0. Matsutani Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. (1 fl Pit) was prepared so as to have the composition shown in Table 1, and the total amount was 200 g.

The obtained mixture was mixed in a mortar until it was homogeneous, and then ground in a hammer-type grinder (Sample Mill, model KII-1, manufactured by Fuji Electric Industries, Ltd.), and the obtained powder was passed through a 300-mesh sieve. The remainder was further crushed in a crusher,
00 Messi, Yasu powder was obtained.

The obtained powder was placed in a petri dish (diameter 9 pieces) at room temperature.
After 7 days, the powder was observed with the naked eye and determined to be monovalent.

Table 1 Powder Stability of Pollen Load Powder Table 1 shows that in the experimental group using β-cyclodextrin as a powdering aid, a good powder with no hygroscopicity was obtained even when the pollen load content was 75% (wt/wt). However, when powdered with dextrin, the pollen content was less than 25% and the hygroscopicity could not be prevented.
The present invention is not limited in any way by these embodiments.

Example I RINGDIX-B (β-CD, manufactured by Sanraku ■) 500.
9 and pollen load 500# (25 menshuno fsu, Akitaya main store)! i ~, Mix well in a plastic bag until uniform. The mixture was passed through a hammer mill (sample mill,
Model K11-1. The powder was crushed by Teikou Denki Kogyo (manufactured by ■), and the resulting powder was passed through a 300 mesh sieve.
I got it. The pollen content of the resulting powder was 50%, and the powder did not lose its fluidity even after being left indoors for 10 days.
