Abstract
Description
본 발명은 숙지황의 제조방법에 관한 것으로, 보다 상세하게로는 지표성분의 함량이 현저하게 증가된 숙지황의 제조방법에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a method for producing sulfur, and more particularly, to a method for producing sulfur with significantly increased content of the indicator component.
숙지황은 지황의 근경, 즉 생지황을 건조, 증숙가공하여 제조되는 것으로서, 보혈작용이 있기 때문에 혈허로 인한 빈혈, 월경불순, 기타 혈허 증후군의 치료에 처방되며, 이밖에 강장(强腸), 안태(安胎) 등의 효능이 있어 신체가 허약하거나 태동이 불안할 때 처방된다.Sukjihwang is manufactured by drying and steaming the roots of the yellow, that is, the live, and because it has a blood-reducing effect, it is prescribed for the treatment of anemia, menstrual irregularities, and other bleeding syndromes due to blood loss. It is prescribed when the body is weak or anxious because of its efficacy.
종래의 숙지황의 제조방법은 먼저 생지황을 건조시켜 숙지황으로 제조한 뒤, 이 건지황을 가마솥과 같은 일반적인 용기에 넣고 막걸리 또는 기타 주정을 이용하여 주침(酒浸)시키며, 이를 1∼3회 증숙건조하는 것이다.In the conventional method of manufacturing the sulfur, the dried sulfur, which is dried to produce the sulfur, then put the dried sulfur in a common container, such as a cauldron, marinated with makgeolli or other spirits, and steamed and dried 1 to 3 times will be.
막걸리 등의 주정은 숙지황에 함유되어 있는 유해성분을 제거하는 역할을 하는 것인 데, 주정을 용기에 넣어 원료를 주침시킬 때 주정이 육질 깊숙히 침투가 되지 않으며, 또한 1∼3회 증숙하여도 완전 증숙이 불가능한 문제점이 있었다.The makgeolli, such as makgeolli, serves to remove the harmful ingredients contained in the ripened sulfur, which does not penetrate deep into the meat when the alcohol is poured into a container and is steamed once or three times. There was this impossible problem.
그 이유는 증숙시 술의 농도와 온도의 편차가 심하기 때문이며 이러한 이유로 유해성분의 제거효과가 부족하며, 또한 숙지황을 장기 보관시 부패되는 문제점이 있었다.The reason is that there is a serious variation in the concentration and temperature of the liquor during steaming, and for this reason, there is a lack of removal of harmful components, and there was a problem of decaying during the long-term storage of Sukji sulfur.
상기 방법으로 제조되는 기존의 숙지황은 비위가 허약하고 소화가 잘 되지 않아 식욕이 없는 사람이나 배가 팽만하고 변비가 있는 사람 또한 기도가 순하지 못하여 생기는 기체(氣滯)나 담이 많은 사람은 복용할 수 없는 문제점이 있고, 또한 설사나 복통을 유발할 수 있기 때문에 그 처방이 제한되는 문제점이 있다.Existing Sukjihwang prepared by the above method is weak in stomach and poorly digested, so people without appetite, bloated stomach and constipation, and those who have a lot of gas or phlegm due to inadequate airway There is a problem that can not be, and also can cause diarrhea or abdominal pain, there is a problem that the prescription is limited.
이와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위한 기술로, 한국 특허출원 제 96-35980호를 들 수 있다. 이 기술은 위와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 주정으로 약주를 사용하고 주침 후 증숙시 1시간 간격으로 술을 건지황에 분사도포하며, 증숙이 끝난 후 건지황을 건조하는 형태의 주침, 증숙, 건조의 과정을 9회 반복하는 것으로 구성된다. 이 때 증숙기 내부온도는 100℃를 유지하며, 압력은 400∼500 g/㎠, 증숙시간은 1차때 4시간 이상, 2∼9차 때에는 각각 3시간 정도이다.As a technique for solving such a problem, Korean Patent Application No. 96-35980 may be mentioned. In order to solve the above problems, this technique uses yakju as a spirit, sprays alcohol to dry liquor every hour after steaming, and dries dry steam after drying. It consists of 9 repetitions. At this time, the internal temperature of the steamer is maintained at 100 ° C., the pressure is 400 to 500 g / cm 2, and the steaming time is at least 4 hours in the first stage and about 3 hours in the second to ninth stages.
상기 방법에 의하여 얻어지는 숙지황은 지표물질인 5-하이드록시메틸-2-푸르알데히드(5-Hydroxymethyl-2-furaldehyde)의 함량이 0.2∼0.3% 정도로 보건복지부의 함량기준인 0.1%를 초과하며, 재래방법에 의하여 얻어지는 숙지황에 비하여 부작용이 억제되고 지표성분의 함량이 높다.Sulfur sulfur obtained by the above method has a content of 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furaldehyde (5-Hydroxymethyl-2-furaldehyde), which is 0.2 to 0.3%, exceeding 0.1% of the content standard of the Ministry of Health and Welfare. Compared with ripening sulfur obtained by the method, side effects are suppressed and the content of the indicator component is high.
그러나 이 방법은 9회 동안 주침, 증숙, 건조의 과정을 되풀이 해야 하므로 제조원가가 높아지는 문제점과 지표성분의 함량도 다소 미흡한 문제점이 있다.However, this method has to repeat the process of immersion, steaming, drying for 9 times, there is a problem that the manufacturing cost increases and the content of the indicator component is also insufficient.
숙지황이 충분한 약효를 발휘하기 위하여는 지표물질의 함량이 0.5% 이상은 되어야 한다.In order for Sukji sulfur to have sufficient effect, the content of indicator substance should be more than 0.5%.
본 발명은 상기한 바와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위한 것으로, 제조공정이 단축된 숙지황의 제조방법을 제공하는 것을 목적으로 한다.The present invention is to solve the problems as described above, it is an object of the present invention to provide a method for producing the sulfur of the ripened sulfur.
본 발명의 또 다른 목적은 지표물질의 함량이 0.5% 이상인 높은 지표성분을 함유한 숙지황을 제공하는 것이다.It is still another object of the present invention to provide sucrose which contains a high indicator component, the content of which is at least 0.5%.
본 발명은 생지황을 건조하여 건지황을 만든 후, 약주로 주침시키고 회수하여 증숙기에서 증숙한 다음, 건조시켜 숙지황을 제조하는 데에 있어서, 약주로 살균소독되지 아니한 약주를 사용하고, 증숙기 내부온도는 100±2℃를 유지시키고, 증숙압력은 320∼450g/㎠을 유지시키고, 1회증숙시간은 7∼10시간으로하여 증숙한 다음, 건조시키는 과정을 5회 반복하는 것으로 구성된다.In the present invention, dried raw sulfur is dried to make dried sulfur, dried by steaming and recovering with steaming steam in steamer, and then dried to produce the sulfur of sulfur, in the manufacturing of the sterilized sulfur, using the alcohol not sterilized as a medicine, internal steam temperature Is maintained at 100 ± 2 ℃, steaming pressure is maintained at 320 ~ 450g / ㎠, steaming once with a steaming time of 7 to 10 hours, and then dried five times.
이하, 본 발명을 상세히 설명한다.Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.
주침에 사용되는 약주는 살균소독되지 아니하여 효모가 살아 있는 것을 사용하여야 한다. 일반적으로 시판되는 약주는 살균소독되어 효모가 죽은 상태이며, 이러한 것을 사용할 경우 주침효과가 부족하게 된다. 사용되는 약주의 알콜 함량은 8-10% 정도가 적절하다. 주침방법은 35∼40℃에서 40∼50시간 주침시키는 것이다.Medicinal herbs used in the needle are not sterilized and must use yeast. Commercially available herbal medicines are sterilized and sterilized and yeast is dead. The alcohol content of the chemicals used is about 8-10%. The needle immersion method is to immerse for 40 to 50 hours at 35 to 40 ° C.
주침 후 증숙과정을 거치게 되는 데, 증숙기의 내부온도는 100±2℃, 내부압력은 320∼450g/㎠를 유지하여야 한다. 온도편차와 압력범위가 상기범위를 벗어나게 되면 지표성분의 함량이 떨어지게 된다.After steaming, steaming process is carried out. The temperature of steaming machine should be maintained at 100 ± 2 ℃ and the internal pressure is 320 ~ 450g / ㎠. If the temperature deviation and the pressure range is out of the above range, the content of the indicator component is lowered.
1회 증숙시간은 7∼10시간 범위이며 이 범위 미만의 경우에는 지표성분의 함량이 부족하게 되며, 이 범위를 초과하더라도 더 이상 지표성분 함량이 증가하지 않는다.One steaming time ranges from 7 to 10 hours, and if it is below this range, the content of indicator component is insufficient, and even if it exceeds this range, the content of indicator component no longer increases.
증숙이 완료된 후, 건조과정을 거치게 되는 데, 건조과정은 원료를 건조용기에 넣어서 건조기에 넣고 건조시킨다. 건조온도는 50∼55℃에서 1시간 정도, 55∼60℃에서 2시간 이상 주침가능할 정도로 건조시킨다.After the steaming is completed, the drying process is carried out. The drying process is to put the raw materials in a drying container and put in a dryer. The drying temperature is dried at 50 to 55 ° C. for about 1 hour and at 55 to 60 ° C. for 2 hours or more.
이와 같은 과정을 5회 반복하여 얻어지는 숙지황의 지표물질의 함량은 0.6∼0.8%가 되며, 더 이상 반복하더라도 지표성분의 함량증가는 없게 된다.The content of the indicator material of the ripened sulfur obtained by repeating this process five times is 0.6-0.8%, and even if it is repeated further, there is no increase in the content of the indicator component.
5차 증숙이 완료된 원료는 다음의 건조과정을 거쳐 제품화된다.The raw material after the fifth steam has been commercialized through the following drying process.
1차로 52∼58℃에서 2∼3시간 동안 건조시킨 후 온도를 높혀 58∼63℃에서 2∼3시간, 다시 온도을 높혀 65∼75℃에서 10시간동안 건조시킨다. 이후 건조기의 전원을 차단하고 자연바람을 이용하여 3∼4시간 동안 숙성건조시킨다.After first drying at 52-58 ° C. for 2-3 hours, the temperature is increased to 2 to 3 hours at 58 to 63 ° C., and the temperature is increased again to dry at 65 to 75 ° C. for 10 hours. After that, turn off the dryer and let it dry for 3 to 4 hours using natural wind.
이 최종 건조과정을 3∼4회 반복한다. 이러한 최종 건조공정을 거친 제품은 견고하고 숙지황 자체에서 까만 액이 손에 묻어나지 않게 된다.This final drying process is repeated three to four times. After the final drying process, the product is solid and black liquid does not get on the hands.

<실시예><Example>
살균소독되지 아니한 약주에 이물질을 제거한 건지황을 넣고 38℃에서 48시간동안 주침시킨 다음, 내부온도가 100±2℃, 압력이 350g/㎠ 이 유지되는 증숙기에 넣고 8시간동안 증숙시켰다. 1회증숙이 끝난 원료를 건조용기에 넣어서 건조기에 넣은 다음, 52℃에서 1시간, 58℃에서 3시간동안 건조시켰다.The dried Guangjihwang, which had not been sterilized, was removed by putting dried guanyin into a steamer at 38 ° C for 48 hours, and then steamed for 8 hours in a steamer maintained at 100 ± 2 ° C and a pressure of 350g / cm 2. The raw material, once steamed, was placed in a drying container, put in a dryer, and dried at 52 ° C. for 1 hour and 58 ° C. for 3 hours.
이와 같은 과정을 5회 반복하되, 최종 건조과정은 1차로 55℃에서 2시간 동안 건조시킨 후 온도를 높혀 60℃에서 2시간, 다시 온도을 높혀 70℃에서 10시간동안 건조시켰다.This process was repeated five times, but the final drying process was first dried for 2 hours at 55 ℃, the temperature was increased to 2 hours at 60 ℃, and again the temperature was dried for 10 hours at 70 ℃.
이후 건조기의 전원을 차단하고 자연바람을 이용하여 4시간 동안 숙성건조시켰다. 이러한 최종 건조공정을 거친 제품은 견고하고 숙지황 자체에서 까만 액이 손에 묻어 나오지 아니하였다.After that, the dryer was turned off and aged for 4 hours using natural wind. After the final drying process, the product was solid and black liquid did not come out of the hand.
얻어진 제품의 지표물질의 함량은 0.667%였다.The content of the indicator substance in the obtained product was 0.667%.
<비교예><Comparative Example>
한국 특허출원 제 96-35980호에 기재된 방법대로 6∼15중의 시료를 제조하였다. 증숙기 내부온도는 100℃ 내외, 압력은 450g/㎠을 유지하면서 1차 증숙시간은 5시간, 2∼15중의 시료는 3시간동안 증숙시켰고, 주침조의 온도는 38℃, 주침시간은 1차 때는 24시간, 2∼15차에서는 각각 3시간동안 주침시켰다.Samples in 6 to 15 were prepared according to the method described in Korean Patent Application No. 96-35980. The internal steam temperature was around 100 ℃, the pressure was 450g / ㎠ and the samples were steamed for 5 hours for the first steaming time and 3 hours for 2 to 15 hours.
