Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [A] Object of the Invention The present invention aims to effectively utilize ingredients derived from rice flour and to develop bath preparations related to beauty and health maintenance.

(Industrial Application Fields) The present invention makes it possible to expand the use of by-products in the fields of rice milling, oil refining, and sake industry by making bath additives based on rice-derived components.

(Prior Art) The material according to the present invention is made entirely of rice-derived ingredients, but if we examine the conventional usage status of the material, we will find that:
It can be summarized as follows.

Oryzanol is a product that can separate rice oil from the extracted (crude oil) from rice bran obtained in the rice milling process. Its structure is characterized by having ferulic acid as the core, and steroids (sterols). A general term for compounds in which the group is formed by an ester bond.

Orizanol is used orally or by injection to treat autonomic imbalance, and by external application, it is effective for senile xeroderma.It is also used as an antioxidant, ultraviolet absorber, and in foods. It has also been applied to cosmetics. However, no other examples of its use as a bath additive have been found.

On the other hand, rice bran has been known as 1-Nuka-yu since ancient times, and has been used as a bath agent by soaking it in hot water in a cotton bag, and has a history of being used to treat rough skin, red rash, etc. Also, according to Yoshikata Nishiyama et al., Internal Medicine Practice 9.1232, published by Nanzando (67th edition, August 1, 1961), lightly roast rice bran, put it in a cotton bag, and boil it in boiling water for about 30 minutes. The liquid that was
When used in the bath, it is known to be effective for skin eczema, skin hypersensitivity, etc.

Also, although there is no precedent for using sake lees for bathing, it has been known for a long time that sake has been used for bathing, which is called sake bathing. Although there is no precedent for using kirani rice koji for bathing, there is a history of its use in brewing sake and making sweet sake.

The effective use of rice-related byproducts is active in various fields.For example, rice bran is being used to extract rice oil,
It is used as a raw material for extracting products such as toll and phytin, and the polysaccharides and proteins it contains are used in health foods. It is also possible to ferment this to obtain alcohol or sugar solution, or to obtain edible acid or acetic acid. It is also known that edible acids can be obtained from sake lees.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) Recently, there has been a strong interest in nature (natural products), especially in plants.
There is active development of highly safe natural foods, natural cosmetics, and bath additives. Therefore, in order to effectively utilize by-products derived from rice, which is a staple food, the present inventor focused on the method of bathing with rice bran that has been passed down since ancient times, and using this as a hint, we created a method that is easier to use, more practical, and more effective. We started research with the aim of developing a bath additive.

[Example] Structure of the Invention The present invention is to use rice-derived ingredients in bath preparations.Specifically, the details will be described below based on Examples.

(Means to solve the problem) The essential conditions for rice bran, defatted rice bran (rice bran after rice oil extraction), sake lees, and rice malt are to reduce the moisture content of each to 8% or less, preferably One point is to keep it below 7%. Under this environment, first of all, long-term storage will be good. At the same time, when making the above-mentioned materials into bath additives, it is best to add heat sterilization treatment or ethylene oxide gas sterilization, but the effect can be obtained by using these alone. However, if at least 3% oryzanol is added to the formulation,
Good heat retention after bathing.

In other words, the bath additive of the present invention is characterized by mainly containing rice-derived ingredients, and it is also important that it contains oryzanol as one of its essential ingredients.

1 Example 1゜ Fresh rice bran (raw bran) is obtained and heated to reduce the water content to 7% or less (normally, raw rice bran has a water content of 1% or less).
Contains 3-18%. In addition, heat treatment is preferably carried out at around 80°C for 1 to 3 hours.)Next, after removing moisture, add 3 to 50% oryzanol, stir well, and place about 100 to 200 g in a cotton bag. Filled with ethylene oxide gas, sterilized with ethylene oxide gas, and placed on top of the cotton bag.
The product is packaged using Heise/Ksunto and used as a bath additive.

1 Example 2 Defatted rice bran (Oryzadrim, manufactured by Oryza Yuka Co., Ltd.) is mixed with oryzanol at a ratio of 3 to 50%, and then passed through a packaging machine in accordance with Example 1 to obtain a bath agent.

1 Example 3゜To the mixture in Example 1 or 2, add Hira, rice starch, or rice flour (Shimada Chemical Department: Microbar) from 01 to 1.
．． Based on the formulation containing about 0%, it is made into granules by spray drying, and the moisture content of the granules is 7 to 8%.
After sufficient drying, the product is packaged in cotton bags and sealed with Hyze-7x Note to prepare a bathing agent.

1 Example 4J Sake lees or rice malt is heated and dried in advance, and the moisture content is 7!
! 4 or less, grind it into a powder, add 3 to 60% oryzanol to it, stir well and mix, or add dry powder of defatted rice bran (with a moisture content of 5% or less). Add as desired, mix thoroughly, fill in cotton bags, sterilize with ethylene oxide gas, and seal with Hi-Zex sheets to prepare bath preparations.

1 Example 5゜To the formulations (bath preparations) according to Examples 1 to 4, known bath fragrances may be further added, or roots, leaves, flowers, stems, trees, and bark of plants used for known baths may be added. , powders of fruits (seeds), extracts from these plants, and fine pieces are added to make bath preparations. At this time, all other additives must have a moisture content of 7% or less when made into a final product.

1 Example 6J Defatted rice bran, sake lees, rice koji, or a mixture thereof is heated and heated to a moisture content of 7% or less. Add the powder or its crumbs, or optionally add the dried powder of the extract (dried to a moisture content of 7% or less), divide it into cotton bags, seal the top with a Hi-ZEX sheet, and use it as a bath agent. Eggplant.

"Example 7" In advance, sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate were mixed in arbitrary amounts, granulated using rice starch as a binder, and dried to a moisture content of 7% or less. A desired amount of oryzanol and a heated and dried product of defatted bran, sake lees, or rice koji is added, mixed well, and packaged in cotton bags, which are then sealed with a Hize Soxunto to make a bath agent.

"Example 8J Mix any amount of defatted bran, sake lees, or rice koji, or
Alternatively, take any one of them, add 5 to 10 parts of water to 1 part of it, leave it for 1 to 3 days at around 40°C, heat it (extract), and then centrifuge it. The filtrate is collected using a separator and concentrated to form a dry powder with a moisture content of 8% or less, which is used as a bath additive.

In addition, oryzanol may be optionally added to the powder dried in the above-mentioned step and used as a bath agent, or the dry powder may be added to the formulation of a known bath agent. The obtained filtrate is made into a milky lotion bath agent by adding a preservative or adding oryzanol and an emulsifier to the obtained filtrate as a moderately concentrated liquid.If necessary, rice germ may be added to this formulation. Oil, rice oil, etc. may be added, and plant extracts used in other bath preparations may also be added.

[C] Effects of the Invention The bath additive made of rice-derived ingredients according to the present invention is characterized in that when used in a bath (in a bathhouse), there is less water leakage, the heat retention effect lasts, and it is superior to others. Highly effective for warming. Especially in the winter and against the chills caused by colds, it has a lasting effect of warming not only the skin's epidermis, but also the entire body. Also, when using sake lees or rice koji, it is good for alleviating neuralgia and rheumatic pain. When using these materials, when oryzanol is fully blended in the formulation, there will be less boiling than when these rice-derived ingredients are used alone.

In particular, considering the amount of bath water, it is desirable that the amount of oryzanol contained on average is 0.3% or more, and it is especially good if it contains 1 to 2% of the amount of water in the bathtub. It looks like this.

Of course, if you compare it with the well-known rice bran soup that has been passed down since ancient times,
The products according to Examples 1 to 7 according to the present invention are excellent in both bathing effect and long-term storage stability. Table 4).

(Results related to effectiveness) Example 1 or 2 was filled with mulberry and 200g was filled with a formulation containing 50% oryzanol, and one was filled with 200g of rice bran (raw bran) East Germany (undried). Things,
We selected volunteers from 10 homes with home baths (bathtubs) and asked each of them to complete a questionnaire regarding the effects of bathing after use. The amount used at one time was as follows: 2 pieces of 200g each were soaked in hot water, and about 5 minutes later, they were directly poured into the hot water in the bathtub. The results are summarized in Table 1, with both products achieving smooth and moist skin effects. However, many people say that the warm feeling after bathing is much better with products containing oryzanol, which are based on the formulation of Example 1 or 2, and in particular,
People who rubbed their bodies with the cotton bags used for filling said that the formula containing oryzanol was better.

1 Table 1 Evaluation of action or effect (answers from 10 households)
On the other hand, according to Example 6, the respective strengths of defatted bran, sake lees, and rice malt a#I! A 400g package containing 30% oryzanol and 2% touki powder is added to the dried powder, filled into a cotton bag, and used in the same manner as in (1) above to treat symptoms of neuralgia and rheumatism. When we selected volunteers from among the people and summarized their usage results, we found that '@2
The results were as shown on the table, suggesting that all of them were effective, but in terms of pain relief, the prescriptions of sake lees, oryzanol, and touki powder were better. However, if sake lees is used alone, the smell of alcohol will be emitted and it will be harmful.When using sake lees for bathing, it should be mixed with rice bran, and in the prescription, the ratio of rice bran and sake lees should be adjusted. ,3
If the ratio is about 1 to 5 to 1, the smell of alcohol will be reduced.
It has a unique aroma and makes you feel refreshed. Of course, when you add the powder of Touki, the smell of alcohol disappears.
It has a strong ability to dissipate the odor of the Japanese Angelica, and this aroma-releasing effect seems to be particularly beneficial for people with neuralgia, rheumatism, and sensitivity to cold. It is.

The long-lasting effect of heat retention was determined by asking how it felt to warm the inside of the body, and the quality of the so-called state with little hot water after bathing was determined by using rice malt, oriji/-ru, and touki. The latter formulation seemed to be more effective.

In Table 2, a indicates that the results were evaluated as very good, b as good, and C as neither possible.

In addition, when using oryzanol as a bath agent, the initial idea of the present inventors was to maintain the stability of the rice-derived ingredients in the formulation, and However, in the end, it turned out that it enhances the effect of warming the entire body. In other words, adding oryzanol to bath additives is a good way to prevent people from feeling cold after taking a bath. In addition, regarding the pain-relieving effect, in the prescription, we include herbs that have been used for bathing for a long time, such as Angelica spruce, Centipede nigra, Keigai, Sonoya Oobaku, Sanshishi, Gyoukyou, Chili pepper, Mugwort, Spruce, Chinpi, Hatsuka, and Hatsukayou. Herbal plant powder,
It is even more effective if used in combination with Kizami or extract.

Table 3 (next table) shows the results of cold lambda based on bath additives containing 5% oryzanol and sake lees or dry powder of rice koji and defatted rice bran, according to Example 4. Targeting women, we asked them to take a bath every day or every two days for one month.
This is an answer regarding its effectiveness. The results showed that for people with sensitivity to cold, it was better to add rice koji or sake lees to the prescription.

``Table 3: Effects of bathing on sensitivity to cold (used for one month) On the other hand, rice bran, when mixed with a small amount of boiling water and stirred well, makes it easier to remove dirt from the body, and also bleaches the skin. It has long been known that cleaning
Therefore, for this skin-beautifying effect, we prototyped a bathing agent using the heat-dried product of sake lees, rice koji, or defatted rice bran alone, oryzanol alone, and a mixture of these, and tested it for one month (every day or every day). The results were as shown in Table 4, and rice koji and sake lees were also recognized to have beautifying effects.
This was not observed with oryzanol. However, most people feel that their skin becomes whiter when using formulas that mix sake lees or rice koji with rice koji, or when oryzanol is added. The combination seemed to be effective. However, although it is unclear why the skin beautification effect was enhanced by using oryzanol, rice koji, and sake lees in combination with rice bran, it is important to remember that when taking a bath, these bath additives should be soaked in boiling water. The method is to add it to the bath after soaking, and in this hot water, the special reaction force of the ingredients in the prescription works effectively and is improved. .
