Description

油脂コーティング粉末の顆粒Oil-coated powder granules
 本発明は、油脂コーティングされた粉末を顆粒化する方法、及びその方法により得られる、味やにおいのマスキングに優れた、油脂コーティング粉末を含有する顆粒に関する。 The present invention relates to a method of granulating oil-coated powder and a granule containing the oil-coated powder obtained by the method and excellent in masking of taste and odor.
 国民の健康に対する関心の高まりから、毎日摂取する食物(健康食品を含む)を通して健康を維持する試みが注目を集めている。なかでも、生体内機能性成分を含む種々の粉末状の経口素材の開発は目覚しく、それらは種々の剤形の製品として提供されている。なかでも、錠剤タイプに比べて摂取しやすい顆粒タイプの食品の人気が、特に、嚥下力の低下した高齢者の間で年々高まっている。 Due to growing public interest in health, attempts to maintain health through daily foods (including health foods) are attracting attention. Among them, various powdered oral materials containing functional ingredients in vivo are remarkably developed, and they are provided as products in various dosage forms. Among them, the popularity of granule-type foods that are easier to ingest than tablet-type foods is increasing year by year, especially among elderly people with reduced swallowing ability.
 錠剤タイプの食品と違い、顆粒タイプの食品は素材固有の風味が舌に直接感じられやすい。従って、苦味、渋味などヒトにとって好ましくない風味を有する素材を含有する顆粒については、摂取の際に不快感を伴うため毎日の摂取を継続することがしばしば困難となる。 違 い Unlike tablet-type foods, granule-type foods tend to feel the unique flavor of the material directly on the tongue. Therefore, it is often difficult to continue daily intake of granules containing materials having a taste unfavorable for human beings such as bitterness and astringency, because they are accompanied by discomfort.
 特許文献1には、キトサン1重量部に対して、トレハロース、エリスリトール、ラクチトール、パラチニット及びキシリトールから選択される1以上を0.005~50部含有する、キトサン含有組成物が記載されており、キトサンの不快味、不快臭及び/又は沈殿を改善している。 Patent Document 1 describes a chitosan-containing composition containing 0.005 to 50 parts of one or more selected from trehalose, erythritol, lactitol, palatinit and xylitol with respect to 1 part by weight of chitosan. Improved unpleasant taste, unpleasant odor and / or precipitation.
 特許文献2には、不快味の薬物、ワックス状成分、水溶性結合剤及び水膨潤性崩壊剤を含む混合物を水を用いて湿式造粒した後、ワックス状成分の融点以上で加熱処理することを特徴とする、味覚が改善された顆粒剤の製造方法が開示されている。 In Patent Document 2, a mixture containing an unpleasant tasting drug, a waxy component, a water-soluble binder and a water-swellable disintegrant is wet-granulated using water, and then heated at a temperature equal to or higher than the melting point of the waxy component. A method for producing a granule with improved taste is disclosed.

As a powder masking method, an oil coating method in which a core material (powder) is coated with an oil component is known. For example, Patent Document 3 discloses a method for producing an α-lipoic acid oil-coated powder.
JP 2001-316271 A Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-188058 JP 2006-325542 A
 粉体に油脂コーティングを行えば、その風味を著しく改善することができる。従って、油脂コーティングされた粉末を顆粒化できれば、顆粒が有する上記のような問題を解決できる可能性がある。しかしながら、この造粒には以下のような問題があった。即ち、造粒は結合剤を含有する水性液を使用して行なうことが多いが、水性液は、油脂が持つ撥水性のために油脂コーティングにはじかれてしまうため、油脂コーティング粉末粒子同士を結合させて顆粒剤に成型(造粒)することが困難であった。 If the powder is coated with fats and oils, the flavor can be remarkably improved. Therefore, if the oil-coated powder can be granulated, there is a possibility that the above-mentioned problems of the granules can be solved. However, this granulation has the following problems. That is, granulation is often performed using an aqueous liquid containing a binder, but the aqueous liquid is repelled by the oil and fat coating due to the water repellency of the oil and fat. It was difficult to mold (granulate) into granules.
 従って、本発明の目的は、油脂コーティング粉末を、その特性、例えば優れたマスキング特性や安定化特性を維持しつつ造粒することを可能とする手段を提供し、それにより、異味成分の苦み、渋みなどの不快な風味を低減して飲用時の風味が優れた顆粒を提供することを目的とする。 Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a means that enables the fat-coated powder to be granulated while maintaining its properties, for example, excellent masking properties and stabilization properties, thereby providing bitterness of off-flavor ingredients, An object of the present invention is to provide a granule having an excellent flavor during drinking by reducing unpleasant flavor such as astringency.
 本発明者は、上記目的を達成するために鋭意研究した結果、異味成分に油脂コーティングを施し、それを乳化剤と結合剤を用いて造粒することで、例えば乳化剤を含有する液体を噴霧しながら造粒することで、飲用時の風味に優れた、油脂コーティング粉末の顆粒を得ることができることを見出し、本発明を完成した。 As a result of diligent research to achieve the above object, the present inventor applied an oil / fat coating to an off-flavor component and granulated it using an emulsifier and a binder, for example, while spraying a liquid containing the emulsifier. It discovered that the granule of the fat-and-oil coating powder excellent in the flavor at the time of drinking can be obtained by granulating, and completed this invention.

For example, a method is known in which an oil or fat component as a coating agent is heated to a temperature equal to or higher than its melting point, and the melt is sprayed or dropped on a core material and cooled to obtain an oil or fat component coating. Furthermore, a method is also known in which fat and oil particles and a core material are mixed and the fat and oil particles are coated on the core material by energy at the time of collision. These techniques are described in Patent Document 3, for example.

That is, the emulsifier moderately removes the oil and fat coating, and the aqueous liquid containing the binder can adhere to the part from which the coating has been removed, and the powder particles are easily aggregated and formed by the adhesive force of the binder. It is thought that it is to become. Therefore, it is considered that each particle of the obtained granule is mainly composed of an oil / fat coating powder, an emulsifier, and a binder, and the powder particles have a structure bonded via the binder.
