Description

フコキサンチン含有組成物及びその製造方法Fucoxanthin-containing composition and method for producing the same
 本発明は、フコキサンチン含有組成物の製造方法に関する。さらに、詳しくはフコキサンチンを高含量含みながら、長期間保存しても安定で健康食品などへの配合が可能なフコキサンチン含有組成物に関する。 The present invention relates to a method for producing a fucoxanthin-containing composition. More specifically, the present invention relates to a fucoxanthin-containing composition that contains a high content of fucoxanthin and is stable even when stored for a long period of time and can be blended into a health food.
 フコキサンチンは、コンブ、ワカメ、モズク、ヒジキなどの海藻類に微量に含まれるカロチノイドの一種である。近年、フコキサンチンに関する研究が進むにつれ、抗肥満、抗糖尿、抗酸化、抗炎症作用など様々な特性が報告されており、海藻由来の機能性素材として注目されている。特に、抗肥満作用においては、脂肪を熱として発散させる特殊なたんぱく質(UCP1) を白色脂肪細胞中に誘導する分子機構に基づいており、この様な作用を示す成分はこれまでに確認されていないため、ユニークなダイエット素材として国内外で注目を集めている。また、メタボリックシンドローム対応素材としてニーズが高いことに加え、アンチエイジング素材としての期待も高まっている。(非特許文献1)
 一般的にフコキサンチンなどのカロチノイドは、熱、光、酸素に対して不安定であり、加工方法には非常に気を使わなければならない。そのため、カロチノイド組成物の製造において、様々な製造方法が検討されている。フコキサンチンをエタノールに溶解し、シクロデキストリンで包接させ、40 ℃以下で真空乾燥することにより、フコキサンチンのシクロデキストリン包接体を得る方法が開示されている(特許文献1)。カロチノイドを中鎖脂肪酸トリグリセライドに懸濁して加熱融解して得られる油相に、多価アルコール又は水とを加えた後、界面活性剤を加えてこれらを乳化して平均粒子径が500 nm以下のカロチノイド含有水性組成物を製造する方法が開示されている(特許文献2)。カロチノイドを融点以上の温度で加熱融解後、グリセリン脂肪酸エステルやポリグリセリン脂肪酸エステルを用いて高圧乳化を行う方法が開示されている(特許文献3)。リコピンをγ-シクロデキストリンに包接させて水系組成物に添加すると共に、グルテン及び/又はアスコルビン酸を水系組成物に添加することで水系組成物中におけるリコピンの安定化を図る方法が開示されている(特許文献4)。
Fucoxanthin is a kind of carotenoid contained in a trace amount in seaweeds such as kombu, wakame, mozuku, and hinoki. In recent years, as research on fucoxanthin progresses, various properties such as anti-obesity, anti-diabetes, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory effects have been reported, and are attracting attention as functional materials derived from seaweed. In particular, the anti-obesity action is based on a molecular mechanism that induces a special protein (UCP1) that radiates fat as heat into white adipocytes, and no component showing such action has been confirmed so far. Therefore, it has attracted attention as a unique diet material both at home and abroad. In addition to the high need for metabolic syndrome compatible materials, expectations for anti-aging materials are also increasing. (Non-patent document 1)
In general, carotenoids such as fucoxanthin are unstable to heat, light, and oxygen, and processing methods must be very careful. Therefore, various production methods have been studied in the production of carotenoid compositions. A method of obtaining a cyclodextrin inclusion body of fucoxanthin by dissolving fucoxanthin in ethanol, inclusion with cyclodextrin, and vacuum drying at 40 ° C. or lower is disclosed (Patent Document 1). After adding a polyhydric alcohol or water to the oil phase obtained by suspending carotenoids in medium-chain fatty acid triglycerides and heating and melting them, the surfactant is added to emulsify them, and the average particle size is 500 nm or less. A method for producing a carotenoid-containing aqueous composition is disclosed (Patent Document 2). A method is disclosed in which carotenoids are heated and melted at a temperature equal to or higher than the melting point, followed by high-pressure emulsification using glycerin fatty acid ester or polyglycerin fatty acid ester (Patent Document 3).

The fucoxanthin-containing composition of the present invention can be produced by the method for producing a fucoxanthin-containing composition described below in detail (the production method of the present invention).
 本発明のフコキサンチン含有組成物の乾燥物の製造方法は、(A)フコキサンチン、(B)グリセリン脂肪酸エステル、ポリグリセリン脂肪酸エステル、ショ糖脂肪酸エステル及びレシチンからなる群より選ばれる1種以上の乳化剤、並びに(C)シクロデキストリン及びガム類からなる群より選ばれる1種以上の賦形剤を混合する工程、得られた混合物を乾燥させる工程を有するフコキサンチン含有組成物の製造方法である。 The method for producing a dried product of the fucoxanthin-containing composition of the present invention comprises (A) fucoxanthin, (B) glycerin fatty acid ester, polyglycerin fatty acid ester, sucrose fatty acid ester, and lecithin. It is a method for producing a fucoxanthin-containing composition comprising a step of mixing an emulsifier, and (C) one or more excipients selected from the group consisting of cyclodextrin and gums, and a step of drying the resulting mixture.
 本発明の組成物の乳化物は、(A)フコキサンチン、(B)乳化剤及び(C)賦形剤を混合し、加圧乳化すること(乳化工程)により得ることができる。これにより、フコキサンチン成分を含む油相成分が油滴(分散粒子)として水中に微細分散された水中油滴型の乳化組成物を得ることができる。
 乳化における油相と水相との比率(重量)は、特に限定されるものではないが、油相/水相比率(重量%)として0.1/99.9~50/50が好ましく、0.5/99.5~30/70がより好ましく、1/99~20/80が更に好ましい。
The emulsion of the composition of the present invention can be obtained by mixing (A) fucoxanthin, (B) emulsifier and (C) excipient and emulsifying under pressure (emulsification step). Thereby, an oil-in-water emulsion composition in which an oil phase component containing a fucoxanthin component is finely dispersed in water as oil droplets (dispersed particles) can be obtained.
The ratio (weight) of the oil phase to the aqueous phase in emulsification is not particularly limited, but the oil phase / water phase ratio (wt%) is preferably 0.1 / 99.9-50 / 50, 0.5 / 99.5-30 / 70 is more preferable, and 1/99 to 20/80 is still more preferable.
 乳化は、具体的には、剪断作用を利用する通常の乳化装置(例えば、スターラーやインペラー攪拌、ホモミキサー、連続流通式剪断装置等)、高圧ホモジナイザー等を用いる等の方法で乳化するのが特に好ましい。使用可能な乳化手段は、自然乳化法、界面化学的乳化法、電気乳化法、毛管乳化法、機械的乳化法及び超音波乳化法等一般に知られている乳化法のいずれも使うことができる。 Specifically, the emulsification is particularly carried out by using a normal emulsifying device (for example, stirrer or impeller stirring, homomixer, continuous flow shearing device, etc.) utilizing a shearing action, a high-pressure homogenizer, or the like. preferable. Usable emulsifying means may be any of generally known emulsification methods such as natural emulsification method, interfacial chemical emulsification method, electroemulsification method, capillary emulsification method, mechanical emulsification method and ultrasonic emulsification method.
 また、汎用的に用いられる乳化法としては、機械力を用いた方法、すなわち外部から強い剪断力を与えることで油滴を分裂させる方法もあげることができる。機械力として最も一般的なものは、高速、高剪断攪拌機である。このような攪拌機としては、ホモミキサー、ディスパーミキサー及びウルトラミキサーと呼ばれるものもあげることができ、本発明の製造方法に用いることができる。 Also, as a general-purpose emulsification method, a method using mechanical force, that is, a method of breaking oil droplets by applying a strong shearing force from the outside can be mentioned. The most common mechanical force is a high speed, high shear stirrer. Examples of such a stirrer include those called a homomixer, a disper mixer, and an ultramixer, and can be used in the production method of the present invention.
 また、微細化に有用な別の機械的な乳化装置として高圧ホモジナイザーがあり、種々の装置が市販されている。高圧ホモジナイザーは、攪拌方式と比べて大きな剪断力を与えることが出来るために、乳化剤の量が比較的少なくても微細化が可能である。
 本発明における乳化分散する際の温度条件は、特に限定されるものでないが、機能性油性成分の安定性の観点から10 ℃~100 ℃であることが好ましい。また、本発明において高圧ホモジナイザーを用いる場合には、その圧力は、好ましくは50 MPa以上、より好ましくは50 MPa~280 MPaに設定できる。また、乳化分散された組成物である乳化液はチャンバー通過直後30秒以内、好ましくは3秒以内に何らかの冷却器を通して冷却することが、分散粒子の粒子径保持の観点から好ましい。
Another mechanical emulsification device useful for miniaturization is a high-pressure homogenizer, and various devices are commercially available. Since the high-pressure homogenizer can give a larger shearing force than the stirring method, it can be miniaturized even if the amount of the emulsifier is relatively small.
The temperature condition for emulsifying and dispersing in the present invention is not particularly limited, but is preferably 10 ° C. to 100 ° C. from the viewpoint of the stability of the functional oil component. In the present invention, when a high-pressure homogenizer is used, the pressure can be set to preferably 50 MPa or more, more preferably 50 MPa to 280 MPa. In addition, it is preferable from the viewpoint of maintaining the particle size of the dispersed particles that the emulsified liquid, which is an emulsified and dispersed composition, is cooled through some cooler within 30 seconds, preferably within 3 seconds immediately after passing through the chamber.
 また、本発明の製造方法は、乳化工程によって得られた水中油型乳化組成物を乾燥して粉末組成物を得る方法である。この粉末組成物としてのフコキサンチン含有組成物は、優れた保存安定性を備えた粉末化形態の組成物である。
 粉末化工程で用いられる乾燥手段としては、公知の乾燥手段を用いることができ、例えば、自然乾燥、加熱乾燥、熱風乾燥、高周波乾燥、超音波乾燥、減圧乾燥、真空乾燥、凍結乾燥及び噴霧乾燥等があげられる。これらの手段は単独で用いてもよいが、2種以上の手段を組み合わせて用いることもできる。
Moreover, the manufacturing method of this invention is a method of drying the oil-in-water-type emulsion composition obtained by the emulsification process, and obtaining a powder composition. The fucoxanthin-containing composition as this powder composition is a composition in a powdered form having excellent storage stability.
As the drying means used in the powdering step, known drying means can be used, for example, natural drying, heat drying, hot air drying, high frequency drying, ultrasonic drying, vacuum drying, vacuum drying, freeze drying and spray drying. Etc. These means may be used singly or in combination of two or more kinds.
 また、本発明の製造方法に用いられる乾燥手段としては、噴霧乾燥法が好ましい。噴霧乾燥は対流熱風乾燥の一種である。液状の組成物が熱風中に数100 μm以下の微小な粒子として噴霧され、乾燥されながら塔内を落下して行くことで固体粉末として回収される。素材は一時的に熱風に曝されるが、曝されている時間が非常に短いことと水の蒸発潜熱のため余り温度が上がらないことから、凍結乾燥同様に素材の熱変性が起きにくく、復水による変化も小さいものである。非常に熱に弱い素材の場合、熱風の代わりに冷風を供給することも可能である。その場合、乾燥能力は落ちるが、よりマイルドな乾燥を実現できる点で好ましい。 Also, the drying means used in the production method of the present invention is preferably a spray drying method. Spray drying is a type of convection hot air drying. The liquid composition is sprayed as fine particles of several hundred μm or less in hot air, and is recovered as a solid powder by falling in the tower while being dried. The material is temporarily exposed to hot air, but because the exposure time is very short and the temperature does not rise excessively due to the latent heat of vaporization of water, heat denaturation of the material is unlikely to occur as in freeze-drying. Changes due to water are also small. In the case of a material that is very sensitive to heat, it is possible to supply cold air instead of hot air. In that case, although a drying capability falls, it is preferable at the point which can implement | achieve milder drying.
 なお、本発明の製造方法は、(A)フコキサンチン、(B)乳化剤及び(C)賦形剤を混合し、加圧乳化すること(乳化工程)により、乳化組成物を得る工程を含むが、フコキサンチン成分の融点以上の温度条件で加熱する工程(融解工程という、特にフコキサンチンが結晶の場合は結晶融解工程という)を採用しないことが好ましい。これは、フコキサンチンが熱に対して不安定であることが理由である。 The production method of the present invention includes a step of obtaining an emulsified composition by mixing (A) fucoxanthin, (B) emulsifier and (C) excipient and emulsifying under pressure (emulsification step). It is preferable not to employ a step of heating under a temperature condition equal to or higher than the melting point of the fucoxanthin component (referred to as a melting step, particularly a crystalline melting step when fucoxanthin is a crystal). This is because fucoxanthin is unstable to heat.
