Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain pine leaf extract having excellent sweet and acidulous taste and aromatic smell and free of unagreeable odor, at a low cost, by washing the leaf and sprout of Japanese red pine, cutting the leaves, putting together with mushroom into a sugar syrup and fermenting the mixture. CONSTITUTION:The leaves of Japanese red pine and its sprouts of about 5-50mm long are washed with water, chopped to 2-3mm long and put into a container together with mushroom such as Flammulina velutipes cut to 2-3cm long. The volume of the mushroom is about half of the pine leaf, etc., and the total volume of the pine leaf, etc., and the mushroom is about 60% of the internal volume of the container. Sugar or honey is put into the container and water is charged to the container to about 90% of the total internal volume. The container is covered with a lid, and the content is subjected to spontaneous fermentation under occasional agitation to remove the produce gas and after 3 months, the liquid is filtered to obtain the objective pine leaf extract.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention is a production method for obtaining extracts of pine needles and mushrooms using synergistic fermentation of pine needles, mushrooms, and sugar solution.

In the past, health drinks were made by naturally fermenting only pine needles and sugar solution, but there was no way to add mushrooms to this drink, and by adding mushrooms, the fermentation was even more abnormal than before. In addition, as time passes, the characteristic stickiness of pine resin fades, and the mushrooms themselves begin to melt, creating a sticky texture and producing a liquid with a sweet, sour, and fragrant flavor that is different from sugar or honey. .

The fact that mushrooms dissolve means that, as is already known, mushrooms are effective against cancer, and the liquid obtained using enokidake or shiitake mushrooms can also be called enokidake extract or shiitake mushroom extract, and its efficacy is known to be effective against cancer. Be expected.

The components of this liquid are currently being analyzed by a public institution.

To explain the manufacturing method in detail using enoki mushrooms, which are the cheapest and most readily available, (a) Wash red pine leaves and shoots that have grown about 5 to 50 cm with water, and chop them into 2 to 3 cm pieces.

(b) Cut clean enoki mushrooms into 2-3 cm pieces.

(c) When using a 2-liter wide-mouth bottle, fill it with about 60% of the ingredients in (a) and (b) above.

The mixing ratio of the materials at this time is approximately 40% pine needles and 20% enoki mushrooms by volume.

(d) Put about 400g of sugar or 600g of honey into the container from (c) and add water for about 9 minutes.

Be careful not to add too much water as it may overflow during fermentation.

(E) If you put the lid on and leave it in a place with a temperature of 10℃ to 25℃, it will start to naturally ferment in 2 to 3 days and bubbles will be generated at a rapid rate. Stir occasionally to remove gases accumulated in the liquid.

(f) The liquid will become cloudy over time, and after about a month the gas production will subside, so filter and refine this liquid at that time.

The liquid made from the above ingredients and process has a sweet aroma and taste, and when applied to the skin, it feels very smooth and moist, and even after long-term use, no abnormalities are seen on the skin, and it can be used as a lotion. You can also expect it.

Even in the fermentation process, due to the sterilizing effect of pine needles, there is no mold formation at all, so there is no need to use special anti-bacterial agents, and inexpensive materials can be obtained anywhere.
It is inexpensive, has a wide range of applications, and can produce highly effective liquids.

Claims (1)

[Claims] (a) Wash red pine leaves and new leaves that have grown about 5 to 50 cm with water. (b) Chop the above ingredients into pieces about 2-3 cm long, add them to the sugar solution together with the mushrooms, and let them ferment naturally. (c) Let it ferment naturally for about 3 months, then filter and refine it to obtain a liquid. A method for producing pine needle extract using the above-mentioned materials and including the steps.
