Description

Manufacturing method of high efficiency food with improved calcium absorption {A PROCESS FOR PREPARING HIGH EFFICIENCY FOOD HAVING IMPROVED CALCIUM ABSORPTION}

The present invention relates to a method for producing a highly efficient food with improved calcium absorption. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method for producing high-efficiency foods by maximizing oligopeptide production from proteins by addition of lactic acid to improve calcium absorption.

Carbohydrates, fats and proteins are solved by the basic diet, but it is true that the diet is easy to lack minerals.

Minerals activate the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins to promote physiological activity and growth of living organisms, which in turn stimulates all nutrients. The minerals needed by the human body are calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), sodium (Na), potassium (K), chlorine (Cl), magnesium (Mg), sulfur (S), etc. Intake of more than 100 mg, iron (Fe), cobalt (Co), zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn), iodine (I), molybdenum (Mo), selenium (Se), fluorine (F), chromium ( Cr) and so on require very small amounts. Although extremely small, minerals play an important role in helping to maintain energy, growth, body tissues, and regulate physical activity. Lack of minerals continues to cause problems with body tissues and metabolic progression.

On the other hand, in order for minerals to fully function as life elements of the human body, it is also important to eat food through natural regimens, but a balanced absorption method of minerals is urgently required. No matter how strong digestion is when all foods pass through the digestive tract, it is not nutrients unless the digestion is absorbed into the body through the digestive tract membrane.

Therefore, the concept of food based on absorption should be established based on the digestive absorption conditions of the human body rather than the quantitative determination of the ingredients contained in the food.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, the inventors of the present invention are classified into six major nutrients in the new concept that acting as a fundamental substance is a mineral in the new concept of absorption in the human body considering the absorption function of high efficiency mineral food It was prepared to complete the present invention.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a high-efficiency food that can maximize the absorption of minerals, especially calcium.

Figure 1 shows the biochemical reaction by the ionization action of calcium lactate.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention comprises the steps of: a) adding a proteolytic enzyme and lactic acid to the protein to degrade; And b) provides a method for producing a high-efficiency food comprising the step of combining calcium with the protein degradation product.

The method for producing a high-efficiency food product of the present invention may further mix minerals selected from the group consisting of iron, zinc, copper, and mixtures thereof in addition to calcium. In addition, the powder can be further blended.

Preferably, the preparation method of the present invention mixes 40 to 70 parts by weight of lactic acid and 13 to 20 parts by weight of calcium based on 100 parts by weight of protein.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.

Step a) is to degrade the protein. This step is characterized by the addition of lactic acid with proteolytic enzymes for proteolysis. Such proteolysis produces oligopeptides.

It is a general theory that minerals must be present in the state of ions to pass through the small intestinal membrane to be absorbed. However, since the small intestine is weakly alkaline, it is impossible for essential minerals to exist in an ionic state. Thus, minerals cannot maintain the state of ions in the mucosa without relying on special structures. In other words, the water-soluble mineral ions produced in the gastrointestinal tract lose their ionicity as they pass through the digestive tract through the duodenum and become nonabsorbable minerals unless protected by a compound having a special structure. Therefore, to protect the essential mineral ions from the stomach and reach the small intestine, the mineral absorption source, a protective film is required to avoid various obstacles of the lumen. It is this oligopeptide that is a partially degradable substance of the protein, which chelates the essential mineral ions so that they can be transported to their destination while maintaining water solubility without loss of ions.

In other words, minerals must be in the state of water-soluble ions before they can be absorbed into the body, and secondly, ionized inorganic ions must not recombine with other inorganic ions to become non-aqueous inorganic salts. It should be chelated into a membrane-like envelope that can avoid material interference and be located in the center of the molecule.

The chelate ligand should be a soluble protein and an easy substance that is water-soluble and intercalates and absorbs the cell membrane.

Minerals are metallic elements that are not decomposed or isomerized by digestion in vivo. In order for the minerals to become cations, the inorganic anions need the help of inorganic anions. It must be protected against loss. Molecules for inorganic ions are in a coordinating covalent bond between the inorganic ions and the oligopeptides, and conservative activities to exert only the coordinated mineral function without losing the ligand's own properties. As an inorganic ligand for such absorption in the body, oligopeptides in which proteins are partially degraded are ideal. Oligopeptide means a state of molecular binding of 9 or less amino acids, with 4-8 peptides being preferred among oligopeptides.

On the other hand, in general, a large amount of water-insoluble polypeptides are produced during food degradation. Therefore, in the present invention, in order to inhibit the production of polypeptides and to generate a large number of oligopeptides, chelating is facilitated by mixing and artificially supplying lactic acid containing decomposition promoting ions.

On the other hand, the enzyme is a special protein structure that catalyzes the reaction in vivo and can cause a chelating reaction, and has the ability to bind to non-protein substances called precursors such as vitamins and minerals.

Enzymes formed by binding to inorganic precursors are called metallization enzymes, and the precursors are easily separated from the enzymes in some cases. Enzymes that do not accompany the precursors lose their activity. In other words, if mineral ions chelate to an enzyme, which is a protein, the enzyme becomes active. On the contrary, if mineral ions are separated from the enzyme, all catalytic functions of the enzyme are lost.

Minerals play an important biochemical role, including essential components of all metabolic enzymes. As such, the lack of minerals chelating or complexing enzyme substrates to cause enzyme activity can result in continuous changes in enzymatic equilibrium in the cell, so that the desired physiological activity cannot be sustained and normal metabolism can not proceed. Failure occurs. Therefore, in order for the action of minerals and enzymes to work well, it is important to chelate the minerals to oligopeptides so that their absorption is slow.

In order to promote the chemical reaction of the enzyme protein, first, increase the temperature of the molecular kinetic energy by increasing the temperature to increase the number of molecules entering the transition state to promote the chemical reaction. Second, when the catalyst is used in the reaction as a catalyst It temporarily binds to the reactants to promote a chemical reaction by forming a transition state with lower activation energy than would occur without a catalyst. The present invention uses the latter method to promote the chemical reaction of proteolytic enzymes by using lactic acid as a catalyst.

Step b) is the step of chelation by adding calcium to the oligopeptide produced in step a). By increasing oligopeptide production by the addition of lactic acid in step a), the amount of calcium chelated in step b) is also increased, thus increasing the amount of calcium absorbed.

At this stage, the coarse powder may be further blended as a coenzyme. This is to supplement the trace elements and oligosaccharide supplementation.

In addition, at this stage, minerals such as zinc, iron, and copper may be further blended in addition to calcium. That is, the present invention focuses on the absorption of minerals such as calcium (Ca), zinc (Zn), iron (Fe) and copper (Cu), which are easily deficient due to the eating pattern of modern people.

The characteristics and importance of the mineral added at this stage will be described below.

Calcium functions as a facilitation of autonomic nervous system function, cardiac function factor, blood coagulation factor and structural basis in the skeleton and similar tissues. Thus, the lack of calcium leads to incomplete growth and loss of the body's basic rhythm. Calcium cannot be absorbed as an inorganic compound or simple ionic state, but must be chelated with oligopeptide, a partial breakdown of protein, so that it can be absorbed and transported to its destination.

Zinc is an indispensable mineral for DNA synthesis, and zinc deficiency can lead to decreased DNA polymerization, a major cause of diabetes by lowering insulin function, and a delay in the absorption of other minerals as fat accumulates in the intestinal mucosa. do.

Iron is the only mineral that supplies oxygen to the human body. Iron is in the form of metal iron, divalent iron, trivalent iron, that is, it has an ionic state but is easy to be oxidized, and thus it is not stable because it becomes water-insoluble iron in contact with oxygen.

Copper is a factor that acts as a complement to SOD (Super Oxide Dismutas) catalase, a synthesis of hemoglobin, normal skeletal formation, and a reducing enzyme. Lack of copper significantly reduces erythrocytes, impairs many enzymes involved in normal energy metabolism, and interferes with the development and maintenance of bone and connective tissue.

In the food prepared according to the method of the present invention as described above, since a large amount of minerals including calcium are chelated to oligopeptides, the absorption of minerals in the body is increased.

In addition, the food prepared according to the method of the present invention can be added to bread, confectionery, cotton, milk, baby food, etc. to produce calcium fortified food.
