Description

可食性フィルム及びその製造方法Edible film and method for producing the same
 本発明は、滑らかな感触で迅速に溶解可能な可食性フィルム及びその製造方法に関する。 The present invention relates to an edible film that can be rapidly dissolved with a smooth feel and a method for producing the edible film.
 可食フィルムは口臭予防・口腔ケアを目的とした菓子類でよく用いられているが、近年医療分野においても高齢化の傾向に伴って嚥下困難者が増加し、薬を飲み込みにくい患者に対して経口投与し易い製剤として強く要望されている。また、口腔内で速やかに崩壊または溶解し、薬効成分を溶出させる性能を活かし、口腔内粘膜を通して薬剤を吸収させるための製剤又は口腔内の疾患の治療を目的とする製剤も提案されている。これらの用途に用いられる可食フィルムは、デンプンを糊化して乾燥させたオブラートであったり、水溶性ポリマーなどの水溶性成分を水に溶解させて流延して乾燥させたフィルムが提案されている。 Edible films are often used in confectionery for the prevention of bad breath and oral care, but in recent years the number of people who have difficulty swallowing has increased in the medical field due to the aging trend, and it is difficult to swallow medicines. There is a strong demand for a preparation that is easy to administer orally. In addition, a preparation for absorbing a drug through the oral mucosa or a preparation for treating a disease in the oral cavity has been proposed by taking advantage of its ability to rapidly disintegrate or dissolve in the oral cavity and elute a medicinal component. The edible film used for these applications is an oblate obtained by gelatinizing and drying starch, or a film prepared by dissolving a water-soluble component such as a water-soluble polymer in water and casting it. Yes.
 特開平4-51852号公報(特許文献1)には、カラギーナンを主成分とする水溶性多糖類と多価アルコールと水とを含む溶液をフィルム状に賦形した後、乾燥し、水分率が25重量%以下であり、多価アルコールと水溶性多糖類との重量比が0.2~1であるヒートシール可能な可食性フィルムを製造することが記載されている。しかし、この文献の方法では、水溶性多糖類と水との親和性が高いため、乾燥しても水分含有量が15重量%程度の高い可食性フィルムしか得られない。 In JP-A-4-51852 (Patent Document 1), a solution containing a water-soluble polysaccharide mainly composed of carrageenan, a polyhydric alcohol, and water is formed into a film shape, and then dried to obtain a moisture content. It is described that a heat-sealable edible film having a weight ratio of 25% by weight or less and having a polyhydric alcohol to water-soluble polysaccharide ratio of 0.2 to 1 is produced. However, in the method of this document, since the affinity between the water-soluble polysaccharide and water is high, only a high edible film having a water content of about 15% by weight can be obtained even after drying.
 特開2000-342193号公報(特許文献2)には、ヒドロキシプロピル基濃度が2~10%であり、かつ所定の水溶液粘度を有するヒドロキシプロピル化澱粉を含む水溶液を成形乾燥した可食性フィルムが記載され、ヒドロキシプロピル化澱粉には、さらに多価アルコール、糖アルコール、単糖類、二糖類、オリゴ糖及び澱粉分解物から選択された成分を含有させてもよいことが記載されている。しかし、この可食性フィルムも水分含量が10~15重量%程度と多い。 JP 2000-342193 A (Patent Document 2) describes an edible film obtained by molding and drying an aqueous solution containing hydroxypropylated starch having a hydroxypropyl group concentration of 2 to 10% and a predetermined aqueous solution viscosity. In addition, it is described that hydroxypropylated starch may further contain a component selected from polyhydric alcohol, sugar alcohol, monosaccharide, disaccharide, oligosaccharide and starch degradation product. However, this edible film also has a high moisture content of about 10 to 15% by weight.
 特表2009-501752号公報(特許文献3)には、フィルム形成剤、ゲル形成剤、並びに神経弛緩薬を含むフィルム型製剤が記載され、フィルム生成剤として、糖、糖アルコール及びそれらの誘導体、特にサッカロース、ソルビトール、マンニトール、キシリトール、グルコース、フルクトース、ラクトース及びガラクトースが記載されている。また、この文献でも前記成分を含む溶液を剥離性基材に流延し、乾燥させて溶媒を除去している。しかし、この文献の方法でも水に対する親和性の高いフィルム形成剤及びゲル形成剤を用いるため、フィルムの水分含有量を低減できない。 JP 2009-501752 A (Patent Document 3) describes a film-form preparation containing a film-forming agent, a gel-forming agent, and a neuroleptic agent. As a film-forming agent, sugar, sugar alcohol and derivatives thereof, In particular, sucrose, sorbitol, mannitol, xylitol, glucose, fructose, lactose and galactose are described. Also in this document, a solution containing the above components is cast on a peelable substrate and dried to remove the solvent. However, since the film forming agent and the gel forming agent having high affinity for water are also used in the method of this document, the water content of the film cannot be reduced.
 このような水分含有量の多いフィルムは、安定性の面で悪影響が懸念される。特に、環境湿度及び温度によっては、フィルムと被包装体とが密着したり、フィルム同士が密着して固化する場合があり、保存性が低下する。さらには、水分含有量が多いため、可食性フィルムの腰(強度)が低下しやすく、口腔内で互いに付着して塊状に固化し易く、溶解性が損なわれる場合がある。また、薬効成分の保存安定性への影響も危惧される。 Such a film with a high water content is likely to be adversely affected in terms of stability. In particular, depending on the environmental humidity and temperature, the film and the packaged body may be in close contact with each other, or the films may be in close contact with each other to be solidified, resulting in a decrease in storage stability. Furthermore, since there is much water content, the waist | lumps (strength) of an edible film are easy to fall, it adheres to each other in an oral cavity, and it is easy to solidify in a lump shape, and solubility may be impaired. In addition, the effect of the medicinal ingredients on the storage stability is also a concern.
 さらに、前記文献の方法では、水を含む水性溶液を流延して乾燥する必要があるとともに、低水分含量のフィルムを調製するために、水溶性多糖類から水を脱離させるのに多くのエネルギーを必要とする。そのため、可食性フィルムの生産効率を高めることができない。 Furthermore, in the method of the above literature, it is necessary to cast and dry an aqueous solution containing water, and in order to prepare a film having a low moisture content, it is necessary to remove a lot of water from the water-soluble polysaccharide. Requires energy. Therefore, the production efficiency of edible films cannot be increased.

Further, such an oligosaccharide composition (oligosaccharide mixture) may be bonded to a sugar alcohol in the same manner as described above. That is, the oligosaccharide composition (or the oligosaccharide constituting the oligosaccharide composition) may have an oligosaccharide unit and a sugar alcohol unit bonded to the oligosaccharide unit. Such sugar alcohol units are usually often located at the end of oligosaccharide units. That is, the oligosaccharide constituting the oligosaccharide composition may have a sugar alcohol unit whose terminal is reduced. In addition, the oligosaccharide composition having such a sugar alcohol unit can be obtained, for example, by reducing an oligosaccharide composition (such as starch sugar).
 デンプン糖としては、例えば、三菱商事フードテック(株)製の還元デンプン糖化物(商品名:PO-10)などが挙げられる。 Examples of starch sugar include reduced starch saccharified product (trade name: PO-10) manufactured by Mitsubishi Corporation Foodtech.
 オリゴ糖は、非還元型(トレハロース型)であってもよいが、還元型(マルトース型)のオリゴ糖は、耐熱性に優れるため好ましい。還元型のオリゴ糖は、遊離のアルデヒド基又はケトン基を有し、還元性を示す糖であれば、特に限定されない。 The oligosaccharide may be a non-reducing type (trehalose type), but a reducing type (maltose type) oligosaccharide is preferred because of its excellent heat resistance. The reduced oligosaccharide is not particularly limited as long as it has a free aldehyde group or a ketone group and exhibits reducing properties.
 オリゴ糖組成物は、比較的大きい多量体のオリゴ糖を多く含んでいてもよく、例えば、オリゴ糖組成物において、二十糖類以上のオリゴ糖の含有割合は、30重量%以上(例えば、40~100重量%)、好ましくは50重量%以上(例えば、50~95重量%)、さらに好ましくは65~90重量%程度であってもよく、特に50~85重量%程度であってもよい。 The oligosaccharide composition may contain a large amount of relatively large multimeric oligosaccharides. For example, in the oligosaccharide composition, the content ratio of oligosaccharides of 20 or more saccharides is 30% by weight or more (for example, 40% To 100% by weight), preferably 50% by weight or more (eg, 50 to 95% by weight), more preferably about 65 to 90% by weight, and particularly about 50 to 85% by weight.
 オリゴ糖(B1)の粘度は高いのが望ましい。具体的には、B型粘度計を用いて温度25℃で測定したとき、オリゴ糖(B1)の50重量%水溶液の粘度は、0.1Pa・s以上(例えば、0.2~2Pa・s程度)、好ましくは0.3Pa・s以上(例えば、0.4~1.5Pa・s、特に0.45~1Pa・s程度)、さらに好ましくは0.5Pa・s以上(例えば、0.5~0.9Pa・s程度)であってもよい。 It is desirable that the oligosaccharide (B1) has a high viscosity. Specifically, when measured at a temperature of 25 ° C. using a B-type viscometer, the viscosity of a 50% by weight aqueous solution of oligosaccharide (B1) is 0.1 Pa · s or more (eg, 0.2 to 2 Pa · s). Degree), preferably 0.3 Pa · s or more (eg, about 0.4 to 1.5 Pa · s, particularly about 0.45 to 1 Pa · s), more preferably 0.5 Pa · s or more (eg, 0.5 About 0.9 Pa · s).
 なお、オリゴ糖(B1)の種類(例えば、還元デンプン糖化物などのデンプン糖など)によっては、融点又は軟化点を示さず、分解(熱分解)する場合がある。このような場合、分解温度をオリゴ糖(B1)の「融点又は軟化点」としてもよい。 In addition, depending on the type of oligosaccharide (B1) (for example, starch sugar such as reduced starch saccharified product), it may be decomposed (thermally decomposed) without showing a melting point or a softening point. In such a case, the decomposition temperature may be the “melting point or softening point” of the oligosaccharide (B1).
 オリゴ糖(B1)の融点又は軟化点は、70~300℃の範囲で選択でき、例えば、90~290℃、好ましくは100~280℃(例えば、110~270℃)、さらに好ましくは120~260℃(例えば、130~260℃)程度であってもよい。 The melting point or softening point of the oligosaccharide (B1) can be selected in the range of 70 to 300 ° C., for example, 90 to 290 ° C., preferably 100 to 280 ° C. (eg 110 to 270 ° C.), more preferably 120 to 260. It may be about 0 ° C. (for example, 130 to 260 ° C.).
 (環状構造を有する多糖類(B2))
 環状構造を有する多糖類(B2)は、少なくとも1つの環状構造を有しており、オリゴ糖(B1)などに比べて比較的高分子量であり溶融粘度が高く、しかも、その環状構造によるためか、水溶性を示す。このような多糖類を使用することにより、オリゴ糖(B1)などに比べて溶融混練において高い剪断粘度を保持でき、溶融製膜可能である。
(Polysaccharide having a cyclic structure (B2))
The polysaccharide (B2) having a cyclic structure has at least one cyclic structure, has a relatively high molecular weight and higher melt viscosity than the oligosaccharide (B1), etc., and is also due to the cyclic structure? Shows water solubility. By using such a polysaccharide, it is possible to maintain a higher shear viscosity in melt kneading as compared with oligosaccharide (B1) and the like, and melt film formation is possible.
 環状構造を有する多糖類(B2)において、環状構造(環状骨格、環状ユニット、環状部位)は、多糖類を構成する複数のグルコース単位(特にD-グルコース)がグルコシド結合(又はグルコシル化)して形成された環であればよい。すなわち、本明細書において、環状構造とは、グルコース環などの単糖類の環ではなく、複数のグルコース単位(およびグルコシド結合)で形成された環を意味する。 In the polysaccharide (B2) having a cyclic structure, a plurality of glucose units (particularly D-glucose) constituting the polysaccharide has a glucoside bond (or glucosylation) in the cyclic structure (cyclic skeleton, cyclic unit, cyclic portion).
