Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a method for producing a worm powder health food obtained by drying and powdering worms.

[Prior art and its problems]

Traditionally, in herbal medicine for fever called Jiryu, which is made by drying worms, linoleic acid, vitamin
B ₁ and B ₂ are destroyed during drying. Furthermore, the problem of low productivity has been pointed out as the excrement in the worms is removed by tearing the worms apart.

Furthermore, as a product using worms, the patent patent describes the method of cold soaking worms in alcoholic spirit, filtering this, concentrating it into an extract form, and drying this extract form.
Japanese Patent No. 27893 discloses a method for producing an alkaloid called prefatin from worms, and Japanese Patent No. 101103 discloses a method for precipitating a white substance by diluting the digestive organs of worms.

However, this type of powder has a unique odor and is difficult to swallow. This is especially noticeable in children.

Furthermore, in recent years, there is a risk that the soil in which worms grow may be contaminated with harmful substances such as mercury due to factory waste fluids, etc., and therefore there is a risk that the worms' bodies may also contain harmful substances. This is especially noticeable in long worms.

[Means for solving problems]

In the present invention, worms with a body length of 5 cm or less are left in clean water for several hours to remove dirt, and then linoleic acid,
The worms are dried to remove water at a temperature that does not destroy vitamins B ₁ and B ₂ , and the dried worms are powdered and placed in predetermined amounts in gelatin capsules.

〔Example〕

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be explained in order of steps.

1st Step Striped worms of 5 cm or less, normal worms, gill worms, short worms, and hatsuta (preferably striped worms) are left alive in clean water such as tap water for 2 to 4 hours, preferably 3 hours.

2nd process Remove the worms, drain and wash.

3rd step: The living worms are heated to about 90℃ for about 2 hours, or about 80℃ for about 3 hours to release the linoleic acid in the worms.
Dry to avoid destroying vitamins _B1 and _B2 .

4th step The dried worms are finely powdered using a shredder or mixer.

Fifth Step: Fill about 0.5 g or 1 g of the powder into gelatin-based capsules, such as hard capsules containing gelatin as a main component or soft capsules made by adding glycerin or sorbitate to gelatin to soften them.

In the above examples, gelatin-based capsules were filled with the product, but it may be made into a liquid form suitable for drinks by adding honey or the like, or it may be left as a powder.

Thus, in the first step, the worm's mouth, pharynx, esophagus, sac, sac, and intestines are washed in water, and the blood from the abdominal blood vessels to the dorsal blood vessels is also washed. In the second step, the worms are removed from the water containing filth and washed with a shower or the like.

It is dried in the third step. The component analysis of the dried worms is as follows.

Protein 58.5% Fat 6.3% Ash 5.9% Carotene 0% Linoleic acid 110mg% Vitamin B ₁ 1.30mg% Vitamin B ₂ 3.30mg% Testing agency Tokyo Food Sanitation Association Tokyo Food Technology Research Institute In addition, in the drying process As a guideline for dry weight, 10 worms requires 0.5 g of powdered worms, that is, 1 g of powdered worms requires about 20 worms.

As described above, the worm powder contains linoleic acid because it was dried without destroying the linoleic acid. For this purpose, it removes cholesterol from the blood vessels of the human body, and when people with high blood pressure drink it every day for about six months, their blood pressure becomes normal, providing an excellent health food.

Furthermore, since it contains linoleic acid and vitamins B ₁ and B ₂ , it can improve the health of the body, prevent neuralgia and constipation, and is also useful as a hair tonic.

In addition, by filling the powdered product into gelatin capsules, the odor is removed when drinking, making it easy to swallow and suitable for use by young children.

Furthermore, since the worms are less than 5 cm in length, the growing period is short, and therefore, there is no accumulation of harmful substances in the worms' bodies due to soil contaminated with waste fluids, etc., making them safe as health foods.

〔effect〕

In the present invention, worms with a body length of 5 cm or less are left in clean water for several hours to remove dirt, and then linoleic acid,
By drying the worms to remove moisture at a temperature that does not destroy vitamin B ₁ and B ₂ , and placing a predetermined amount of the dried worms into powder into gelatin capsules, this technology is superior to conventional technology. In comparison, it is possible to provide a worm powder health food that is free from the risk of contamination with harmful substances and is easy to swallow.

Claims (1)
