Description

本発明は栄養改善用組成物、特に低栄養状態の高齢者や肝疾患患者が摂取するのに適した栄養改善用組成物に関する。より詳しくは、本発明は、分岐鎖アミノ酸、および場合によりミネラル酵母を含有する組成物であって、苦味、臭みが改善されると共に、食感がよく摂取し易い栄養改善用組成物に関する。   The present invention relates to a nutritional improvement composition, and more particularly to a nutritional improvement composition suitable for ingestion by underaged elderly and liver disease patients. More specifically, the present invention relates to a composition containing a branched chain amino acid and optionally a mineral yeast, which improves bitterness and odor, has a good texture and is easy to ingest.

近年の高齢化社会の進展により、急増した高齢者の健康維持のための対策が急務となっている。中でも、高齢者の蛋白質・エネルギー低栄養状態(PEM)は大きな問題である。このような低栄養状態の高齢者に適正な栄養補給を行うことによりQOLを改善向上させ、高齢者の寝たきりの予防、自立が期待できる。従って、低栄養状態を効果的に改善するための栄養改善剤の提供が望まれている。   Due to the recent progress of an aging society, measures to maintain the health of the elderly who have increased rapidly are urgently needed. Among them, protein and energy undernutrition (PEM) of elderly people is a big problem. QOL is improved and improved by providing appropriate nutrition to such undernourished elderly people, and bedridden prevention and independence of elderly people can be expected. Accordingly, it is desired to provide a nutrition improving agent for effectively improving the undernutrition state.

バリン、ロイシンおよびイソロイシンなどの分岐鎖アミノ酸は筋タンパク質の維持、内臓タンパク質の維持、補給に有効であることが知られ、肝疾患の治療薬としても用いられている。しかし、この分岐鎖アミノ酸を多く含む治療薬や健康食品は、苦味が強く不快な臭いがあるため、日々常用する患者や高齢者の負担は大きくコンプライアンスが悪い。しかも、その効果を発揮させるためには1日当たり10〜20gという多量の摂取が必要と言われており、多量の摂取のためには苦味、不快臭を低減することが非常に重要である。   Branched chain amino acids such as valine, leucine and isoleucine are known to be effective in maintaining muscle proteins, maintaining visceral proteins and supplementing, and are also used as therapeutic agents for liver diseases. However, therapeutic drugs and health foods containing a large amount of branched-chain amino acids have a strong bitter taste and an unpleasant odor, and therefore, the burden on patients and elderly people who are regularly used is large and the compliance is poor. Moreover, it is said that a large amount of intake of 10 to 20 g per day is necessary to exert the effect, and it is very important to reduce bitterness and unpleasant odor for a large amount of intake.

また、低栄養の高齢者や肝疾患患者は、タンパク質、エネルギーが不足していると共に、免疫力を維持するために必要なミネラルも不足していることが多い。ミネラル供給源としてミネラル含有酵母は吸収が良いことで注目され、広く使用されているが、独特の不快な臭いがあり非常に飲み難いものである。   In addition, undernourished elderly people and patients with liver diseases often lack protein and energy, as well as minerals necessary to maintain immunity. As a mineral source, mineral-containing yeast is noted for its good absorption and is widely used, but has a unique unpleasant odor and is very difficult to drink.

分岐鎖アミノ酸の苦味、臭いを緩和するための従来技術としては、クエン酸、リンゴ酸などの有機酸を配合する方法(特許文献1)、分岐鎖アミノ酸を造粒後、結合剤含有液でコーティングを施してから打錠してチュアブル剤とする方法(特許文献2)、分岐鎖アミノ酸の粒度を特定範囲に調整する方法(例えば特許文献3)がある。しかしながら、これらの方法では、効果が不十分であるか、あるいはコーティングを含む複数の工程を必要としたり、手間のかかる工程を必要とするため製造コストが増大するという欠点がある。   Conventional techniques for alleviating the bitterness and odor of branched chain amino acids include blending organic acids such as citric acid and malic acid (Patent Document 1), granulating branched chain amino acids, and coating with a binder-containing liquid. There are a method (Table 2) that adjusts the particle size of branched chain amino acids to a specific range (for example, Patent Document 3). However, these methods have a drawback in that the effect is insufficient, or a plurality of steps including coating are required, and the manufacturing cost is increased because a time-consuming step is required.

一方、トウモロコシタンパク質であるゼイン(ツェインとも言う)は、そのフィルム形成性、接着力により、塗布剤、接着剤として、また食品や錠剤などのコーティング剤として利用されてきた。特許文献4には、プロリン、リジンなどの吸水性アミノ酸の吸水を防ぎ加工を容易にする目的で、吸水性アミノ酸の顆粒を製造した後、これを被覆するためにゼインまたはシェラックが使用されているが、分岐鎖アミノ酸に関する技術ではなく、しかも造粒とコーテイングという2つの工程を必要とする。   On the other hand, zein (also referred to as zein), which is a corn protein, has been used as a coating agent and adhesive, and as a coating agent for foods and tablets due to its film-forming properties and adhesive strength. In Patent Document 4, zein or shellac is used to coat a water-absorbing amino acid granule after it has been produced for the purpose of preventing water absorption of the water-absorbing amino acid such as proline and lysine and facilitating processing. However, it is not a technique related to branched-chain amino acids and requires two steps of granulation and coating.

また、ギムネマ・シルベスタ抽出物の苦味を抑制するために、多孔質デンプン中に埋設後、ゼインなどのコーティング剤で被覆することが特許文献5に記載されているが、ゼインはコーティング剤としての使用である。生薬エキスなどをゼインのマトリックス中に分散させ、マトリックスで覆うことにより、苦味や渋みを抑えること (特許文献6、特に図1、2) が知られているが、この方法では、ゼインは被マスキング物質に対して比較的多量に使用されるか、被マスキング物質をマトリックス中に分散させている。特許文献7では不快な味の医薬品化合物に対しゼインなどのプロラミンを併用して味を改善することが記載されているが、具体例として開示されているのは、マンニトールやキシリトールなどの矯味剤、および賦型剤を55〜91重量%と極めて多量に含む製剤であり、苦味を有する有効成分自体は0.5 〜25重量%と少ない。従って、これらの製剤は、苦味を有する多量の有効成分に対して少量のゼインの添加により味を改善するものではない。

Moreover, in order to suppress the bitter taste of Gymnema sylvestre extract, it is described in Patent Document 5 that it is embedded in porous starch and then coated with a coating agent such as zein. However, zein is used as a coating agent. It is. It is known to disperse herbal medicine extracts and the like in a zein matrix and cover them with a matrix to suppress bitterness and astringency (Patent Document 6, especially FIGS. 1 and 2). In this method, zein is masked. It is used in a relatively large amount relative to the substance, or the masked substance is dispersed in the matrix. Patent Document 7 describes that a pharmaceutical compound having an unpleasant taste is used in combination with prolamin such as zein to improve the taste, but specific examples are disclosed as a corrigent such as mannitol and xylitol, In addition, it is a preparation containing an extremely large amount of 55-91% by weight of an excipient, and the active ingredient itself having a bitter taste is as small as 0.5-25% by weight. Therefore, these preparations do not improve the taste by adding a small amount of zein to a large amount of active ingredient having a bitter taste.

本発明の目的は、高齢者の蛋白質・エネルギー低栄養状態(PEM)や肝疾患患者の低アルブミン血症の改善に有効であり、かつ苦味、不快な臭いなどが抑えられ、多量の有効成分を効率よくおいしく摂取できる栄養改善用組成物を簡便な方法で効率良く提供することである。   The object of the present invention is effective in improving protein / energy undernutrition (PEM) in elderly people and hypoalbuminemia in patients with liver disease, and suppressing bitterness and unpleasant odor, and a large amount of active ingredients. It is to efficiently provide a nutrition improving composition that can be efficiently and deliciously consumed by a simple method.

本発明者らは、上記目的を達成するために検討を重ねた結果、主成分として分岐鎖アミノ酸を含有し、必要に応じてさらにミネラル酵母を含有する栄養改善用組成物において、0.1 〜5重量%という少量のゼインの使用により、これが造粒時のバインダーとなり、かつ有効成分のもつ苦味、不快臭のマスキング剤となることを見出した。少量のゼインを用いて分岐鎖アミノ酸、または分岐鎖アミノ酸とミネラル酵母を含む組成物を粉末または顆粒形態とすることができると共に、分岐鎖アミノ酸およびミネラル酵母の苦味や不快臭を改善できることは、従来の使用方法からは予測し難いことである。簡便な製造方法により、不快な味、臭いや苦味もなく多量に摂取するのに適した栄養改善組成物を提供できるのは、高齢者や肝疾患患者のための栄養改善用組成物を提供する上で非常に有利である。   As a result of repeated studies to achieve the above object, the inventors of the present invention have a nutritional improvement composition containing a branched chain amino acid as a main component and further containing mineral yeast as necessary. It has been found that the use of a small amount of zein as a percentage makes it a binder during granulation and a masking agent for the bitterness and unpleasant odor of the active ingredient. Conventionally, it is possible to use a small amount of zein to make a branched chain amino acid or a composition containing a branched chain amino acid and mineral yeast into a powder or granule form and to improve the bitterness and unpleasant odor of the branched chain amino acid and mineral yeast. It is difficult to predict from how to use. Providing a nutritional improvement composition suitable for ingestion in large quantities without an unpleasant taste, odor or bitterness by a simple manufacturing method provides a nutritional improvement composition for elderly people or patients with liver disease Very advantageous above.

本発明は、組成物総重量に対して、分岐鎖アミノ酸を50〜99重量%、およびゼインを0.1 〜5重量%含む、粉末または顆粒状形態の栄養改善用組成物である。
この組成物は、好ましくは、組成物総重量に対してミネラル酵母を10重量%以下含有する。
The present invention is a nutritional improvement composition in a powder or granular form containing 50 to 99% by weight of a branched chain amino acid and 0.1 to 5% by weight of zein with respect to the total weight of the composition.
This composition preferably contains 10% by weight or less of mineral yeast based on the total weight of the composition.

上記組成物において使用する分岐鎖アミノ酸は、バリン、ロイシンおよびイソロイシンから選ばれる1種類または2種類以上であるのが好ましい。また、ミネラル酵母は、亜鉛酵母、セレン酵母、クロム酵母、銅酵母、鉄酵母、およびマグネシウム酵母から選ばれる1種類または2種類以上であるのが好ましい。   The branched chain amino acid used in the composition is preferably one or more selected from valine, leucine and isoleucine. The mineral yeast is preferably one or more selected from zinc yeast, selenium yeast, chromium yeast, copper yeast, iron yeast, and magnesium yeast.

上記組成物は、さらにビタミン類を0.1 〜5重量%含むことができる。
本発明の栄養改善用組成物は、栄養補助食品または医薬品として利用できる。
The composition may further contain 0.1 to 5% by weight of vitamins.
The composition for improving nutrition of the present invention can be used as a dietary supplement or a pharmaceutical product.

本発明の栄養改善用組成物は、筋タンパク質の維持、内臓タンパク質の維持・補給に有効な分岐鎖アミノ酸を高含量で含み、場合により免疫力維持のためのミネラル供給源として有効な酵母含有ミネラルをさらに含有し、しかも分岐鎖アミノ酸および酵母含有ミネラルの不快な味、臭いや苦味が低減されて摂取が容易であるのに加え、口どけが良くパサパサ感がないという食感を有するため、優れた栄養改善効果を発揮することができる。特に、低栄養状態の高齢者や肝疾患患者に投与して低栄養状態や低タンパク質状態を改善するのに有効である。また、粉末または顆粒状の形態であるため、錠剤、チュアブル、カプセル剤に比べて、高含量の有効成分を含む製剤を効率良く経口摂取することができる。さらに、本発明組成物は、噴霧コーティングや打錠、カプセル化などの手間を必要とせず、原料の混合攪拌により製造できるため、作業工程が簡便であり、コストを削減できるという利点がある。   The nutrition improving composition of the present invention contains a high content of branched chain amino acids effective for maintenance of muscle proteins and maintenance / supplement of visceral proteins, and in some cases, yeast-containing minerals effective as a mineral source for maintaining immunity In addition to the unpleasant taste, smell and bitterness of branched chain amino acids and yeast-containing minerals being reduced and easy to ingest, the mouth feels good and has a mouthfeel that does not feel papapasa. The nutrition improvement effect can be demonstrated. In particular, it is effective for improving an undernutrition state and a low protein state by being administered to an underaged elderly person or a liver disease patient. In addition, since it is in the form of powder or granules, a preparation containing a high content of active ingredients can be efficiently taken orally compared to tablets, chewables and capsules. Furthermore, since the composition of the present invention can be produced by mixing and stirring raw materials without the need for spray coating, tableting, encapsulation, and the like, there are advantages in that the work process is simple and the cost can be reduced.

本発明組成物がビタミン類を含有する場合、ビタミン類の好ましくない味、風味も改善することができ、しかも長期保存後のビタミン類の安定性にも優れている。   When the composition of the present invention contains vitamins, the undesirable taste and flavor of vitamins can be improved, and the stability of vitamins after long-term storage is excellent.

発明を実施するための形態BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

本発明の栄養改善組成物において使用する分岐鎖アミノ酸は、バリン、ロイシン、イソロイシンのうちの1種類または2種類以上を組み合わせたものであり、好ましくは3種類の分岐鎖アミノ酸を含む。   The branched chain amino acid used in the nutritional improvement composition of the present invention is a combination of one or more of valine, leucine, and isoleucine, and preferably includes three types of branched chain amino acids.

組成物中の分岐鎖アミノ酸の含量は、組成物全量に対して、50〜99重量%であり、好ましくは60〜98重量%、更に好ましくは70〜95重量%である。特に、分岐鎖アミノ酸が70〜90重量%含まれる組成物が好ましい。従って、分岐鎖アミノ酸およびミネラルを多量に必要とする蛋白質・エネルギー低栄養状態の高齢者や肝疾患患者が摂取するのに都合がよい。例えば、1包に有効成分84%含量の4g顆粒の場合、1日に3包摂取すればよい。   The content of the branched chain amino acid in the composition is 50 to 99% by weight, preferably 60 to 98% by weight, more preferably 70 to 95% by weight, based on the total amount of the composition. In particular, a composition containing 70 to 90% by weight of a branched chain amino acid is preferable. Therefore, it is convenient for ingestion of elderly people and patients with liver diseases who are undernutrition of protein / energy requiring a large amount of branched chain amino acids and minerals. For example, in the case of 4 g of granules containing 84% active ingredient in one sachet, three sachets may be taken per day.

酵母含有ミネラルとしては、亜鉛酵母、セレン酵母、クロム酵母、銅酵母、鉄酵母、マグネシウム酵母などが使用できる。これらのミネラル酵母の1種類または2種類以上を組み合わせて使用すればよい。   As the yeast-containing mineral, zinc yeast, selenium yeast, chromium yeast, copper yeast, iron yeast, magnesium yeast and the like can be used. What is necessary is just to use it combining 1 type or 2 types or more of these mineral yeast.

ミネラル酵母は必要に応じて組成物総重量に対して10重量%まで添加することができ、好ましくは7重量%以下、さらに好ましくは5重量%以下、特に好ましくは0.1 〜5重量%である。   Mineral yeast can be added up to 10% by weight based on the total weight of the composition, if necessary, preferably 7% by weight or less, more preferably 5% by weight or less, and particularly preferably 0.1 to 5% by weight.

ゼインは、本発明組成物中、バインダーかつマスキング剤として使用される。ゼインは、ツェインともいい、トウモロコシの種子タンパク質の約55%を占めるプロラミン型貯蔵タンパク質である。通常、非水溶性で50〜90%エタノール可溶性であるので、含水エタノールに溶かして用いる。   Zein is used as a binder and a masking agent in the composition of the present invention. Zein, also known as zein, is a prolamin-type storage protein that accounts for approximately 55% of corn seed protein. Usually, it is water-insoluble and 50-90% ethanol-soluble, so it is dissolved in hydrous ethanol.

ゼインは、組成物中0.1 〜5重量%、好ましくは0.3 〜3重量%、特に好ましくは0.3 〜1.5 重量%含まれる。ゼインが0.1 重量%未満ではバインダーとして、および苦味や風味のマスキング剤として不十分となり、5重量%を超えると口溶けが悪くパサパサ感が強いなどの食感の点で劣る。ゼインが0.1 〜5重量%の範囲で、味および食感共に満足度が高いが、味の点では、ゼインが0.3 重量%以上である場合特に優れており、食感の点ではゼインが1.5 重量%以下の場合特に優れている。   Zein is contained in the composition in an amount of 0.1 to 5% by weight, preferably 0.3 to 3% by weight, particularly preferably 0.3 to 1.5% by weight. When zein is less than 0.1% by weight, it is insufficient as a binder and as a masking agent for bitterness and flavor, and when it exceeds 5% by weight, it is inferior in terms of texture such as poor meltability and strong papasa feeling. In the range of 0.1 to 5% by weight of zein, both the taste and texture are highly satisfactory. However, in terms of taste, zein is particularly excellent when the content is 0.3% by weight or more, and in terms of texture, zein is 1.5% by weight. % Is particularly excellent.

ゼインと分岐鎖アミノ酸(または分岐鎖アミノ酸とミネラル酵母の合計量)との割合は、味や不快臭の抑制の点からは、ゼインが分岐鎖アミノ酸の量(または分岐鎖アミノ酸とミネラル酵母の合計量)に対して0.1 重量%〜3重量%であるのが好ましい。   The ratio of zein to branched chain amino acids (or the total amount of branched chain amino acids and mineral yeast) is the amount of branched chain amino acids (or the total of branched chain amino acids and mineral yeast) in terms of suppression of taste and unpleasant odor. The amount is preferably 0.1% by weight to 3% by weight.

本発明組成物には、さらにビタミン類を含有させることができる。例えば、ビタミンA、ビタミンB群 (ビタミンB1 、ビタミンB2 、ビタミンB6 、ビタミンB12、パントテン酸など) 、ビタミンK2 、ビタミンC、ビタミンD、ビタミンEなどが挙げられる。通常このようなビタミンを含む製剤では、造粒後かなりの割合が失活するが、本発明組成物では、1年の加速試験後も維持され、ゼイン不添加の場合に比べ、ビタミン類の安定性に優れている。また、ビタミンの種類によっては好ましくない味、風味を有する場合があるが、それらも本発明組成物においては改善される。The composition of the present invention can further contain vitamins. Examples include vitamin A, vitamin B group (vitamin B 1 , vitamin B 2 , vitamin B 6 , vitamin B 12 , pantothenic acid, etc.), vitamin K 2 , vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E, and the like. In general, such a vitamin-containing preparation loses a considerable proportion after granulation. However, in the composition of the present invention, it is maintained even after a one-year accelerated test, and the stability of vitamins is more stable than when no zein is added. Excellent in properties. Moreover, although it may have an unpreferable taste and flavor depending on the kind of vitamin, they are also improved in the composition of the present invention.

表1に示したパネラー7名 (健常成人) の評価から明らかなように、ゼインを使用しない比較例1〜4の製剤では苦味が強く風味も悪いのに対し、ゼインを0.1 重量%以上添加することにより苦みや風味は明らかに改善される。食感については、ゼインが5重量%を超えると口溶けは悪くなり、パサパサ感がある。即ち、ゼインを0.1 〜5重量%の範囲で添加することにより苦味や風味を改善し、かつ口溶けがよく、ぱさぱさ感もなく食感を良好に保つことができる。
5 No bitterness 4 Little bitterness left 3 Little bitterness left 2 Bitterness left 1 Bitterness left very strong
Texture (melted in the mouth)
5 Very good 4 Good 3 Neither 2 Bad 1 Very bad
Texture (feeling crispy)
5 There is no feeling of crispyness 4 There is almost no feeling of crispyness 3 No way 2 There is a feeling of crispyness 1 A feeling of crispyness is strong

As is clear from the evaluation of seven panelists (healthy adults) shown in Table 1, the preparations of Comparative Examples 1 to 4 that do not use zein have a bitter taste and poor taste, whereas zein is added by 0.1 wt% or more. This clearly improves bitterness and flavor. As for the texture, when zein exceeds 5% by weight, the melting of the mouth is deteriorated and there is a feeling of dryness. That is, by adding zein in the range of 0.1 to 5% by weight, the bitterness and flavor are improved, the mouth is well melted, and the texture can be kept good with no crispy feeling.

特に、実施例1〜3の本発明品は苦味はほとんど感じることなく、風味も良好である。また、飲んで3分後、比較例1〜4の製剤では、苦味が残っているが、実施例1〜3の本発明品では苦味は残っておらず良好であるのが分かる。   In particular, the inventive products of Examples 1 to 3 have almost no bitter taste and good flavor. In addition, after 3 minutes of drinking, the preparations of Comparative Examples 1 to 4 still have a bitter taste, but the products of Examples 1 to 3 have no bitter taste and are good.
