- FIG.1 and FIG.2 is the side view and top view which show the external appearance of the enteral nutrient 20 with a container of this embodiment.
- the enteral nutrient in a container is one in which the enteral nutrient 1 is hermetically filled in a container 10.
- the container 10 includes a container that stores the enteral nutrient 1 (contents).
- the container 10 has a substantially truncated cone shape whose upper surface is open.
- the container 10 has, for example, a diameter near the bottom surface of 40 to 60 mm, a diameter near the top surface of 60 to 100 mm, a height of 50 to 200 mm, and a thickness of 0.8 to 2 mm.
- the opening 10 a on the upper surface of the container 10 is a filling port for filling the container 10 with the enteral nutrient 1.
- the container of the container 10 includes a container body 11 and a packaging member 12 that covers the surface of the container body 11.
- the configuration of the container body 11 will be described in detail below.
- the packaging member 12 is formed of, for example, an opaque plastic film such as polyethylene terephthalate or polystyrene, an aluminum vapor deposition film, or an aluminum film.
- the packaging member 12 is printed with a display 12a about the contents.
- 3 and 4 are a side cross-sectional view and a bottom view showing a state where the packaging member 12 is wound around the container body 11.
- the packaging member 12 covers most of the side surface 11 a of the container body 11.

容器１０の収容体は、容器本体１１と、その表面を覆う包装部材１２とで構成されている。容器本体１１の構成については以下に詳述する。包装部材１２は、例えば、ポリエチレンテレフタレート、ポリスチレン等の不透明なプラスチックフィルム、アルミ蒸着フィルム、アルミフィルムで形成されている。包装部材１２には、内容物についての表示１２ａ等が印刷されている。図３及び図４は、容器本体１１への包装部材１２の巻き付け状態を示す側面断面図及び底面図である。包装部材１２は、容器本体１１の側面１１ａの大部分を覆っている。また、包装部材１２は、容器本体１１の底面１１ｂにおいては、外周縁を覆う一方で、中心部分を覆わないで、容器本体１１が露出した状態になっている。容器１０の全体は、波長５２０ｎｍ以下の光に対する透過率が３５％以下となっている。また、容器１０の底面のうち、包装部材１２に覆われないで容器本体１１が露出した部分は、波長５２０ｎｍ以下の光に対する透過率が３５％以下、且つ波長８００～２２００ｎｍの光に対する透過率が５５％以上となっている。この領域を、以下「長波長光透過領域１０ｂ」とも称する。長波長光透過領域１０ｂは、例えば、直径が２０～５５ｍｍである。
The container of the container 10 includes a container body 11 and a packaging member 12 that covers the surface of the container body 11. The configuration of the container body 11 will be described in detail below. The packaging member 12 is formed of, for example, an opaque plastic film such as polyethylene terephthalate or polystyrene, an aluminum vapor deposition film, or an aluminum film. The packaging member 12 is printed with a display 12a about the contents. 3 and 4 are a side cross-sectional view and a bottom view showing a state where the packaging member 12 is wound around the container body 11. The packaging member 12 covers most of the side surface 11 a of the container body 11. Further, the packaging member 12 covers the outer peripheral edge of the bottom surface 11b of the container main body 11, but does not cover the central portion, and the container main body 11 is exposed. The entire container 10 has a transmittance of 35% or less for light having a wavelength of 520 nm or less. The portion of the bottom surface of the container 10 where the container body 11 is exposed without being covered by the packaging member 12 has a transmittance of 35% or less for light having a wavelength of 520 nm or less and a transmittance for light having a wavelength of 800 to 2200 nm. 55% or more. Hereinafter, this region is also referred to as “long wavelength light transmission region 10b”. The long wavelength light transmission region 10b has a diameter of 20 to 55 mm, for example.
容器１０の上部の開口部１０ａには、蓋体としてアルミフィルム１３が貼り付けられており、これによって容器１０が密封されている。アルミフィルム１３は、例えば、接着部材で開口部１０ａの縁に接着されている。アルミフィルム１３は、全ての波長の光の透過を遮断する。なお、蓋体がすべての波長の光を遮断することは必須ではなく、少なくとも波長５２０ｎｍ以下の光の透過率が７５％以下の材料で形成されていればよい。また、容器１０に充填された経腸栄養剤１の長期保存性の観点からは、蓋体は、波長５２０ｎｍ以下の光の透過率３５％以下の材料で形成されていることが好ましい。また、開口部１０ａには、アルミフィルム１３の上から、さらにカバー１４が嵌められている。カバー１４は、例えば、透明なプラスチックで構成されている。カバー１４には、必須の構成ではないが、十字の切込みによりストロー差込口１４ａが形成されている。
The aluminum film 13 is affixed to the opening 10a at the top of the container 10 as a lid, thereby sealing the container 10. The aluminum film 13 is bonded to the edge of the opening 10a with an adhesive member, for example. The aluminum film 13 blocks the transmission of light of all wavelengths. Note that it is not essential for the lid to block light of all wavelengths, and it is sufficient that the lid is made of a material having a transmittance of at least 75% for light having a wavelength of 520 nm or less. Moreover, from the viewpoint of long-term storage stability of the enteral nutrient 1 filled in the container 10, the lid is preferably made of a material having a light transmittance of 35% or less with a wavelength of 520 nm or less. Further, a cover 14 is further fitted into the opening 10 a from above the aluminum film 13. The cover 14 is made of, for example, a transparent plastic. Although the cover 14 is not an essential component, a straw insertion port 14a is formed by a cross cut.
次に、容器本体１１について説明する。
Next, the container body 11 will be described.
容器本体１１は、複数種類のプラスチックが積層された構成を有する。図５に、容器本体１１の断面を拡大して示す。容器本体１１は、主層１１１の容器内側に内側層１１２が、容器外側に外側層１１３が積層された構成を有する。また、主層１１１は、２つの着色層１１１ａで酸素バリア層１１１ｂが挟まれた構成を有する。なお、各着色層１１１ａと酸素バリア層１１１ｂとは、接着剤１１１ｃで接着されている。
The container body 11 has a configuration in which a plurality of types of plastics are laminated. In FIG. 5, the cross section of the container main body 11 is expanded and shown. The container body 11 has a configuration in which an inner layer 112 is laminated on the inner side of the main layer 111 and an outer layer 113 is laminated on the outer side of the container. The main layer 111 has a configuration in which the oxygen barrier layer 111b is sandwiched between two colored layers 111a. Each colored layer 111a and the oxygen barrier layer 111b are bonded with an adhesive 111c.
着色層１１１ａを構成する樹脂には、例えば、２種類のポリプロピレン（ＰＰ）、橙色のマスターバッチ（ＭＢ）、相溶化剤が配合されている。橙色のマスターバッチとしては、例えば、三協化学工業社製の型番「ＳＣＰＰＭ６６５２０」を使用することができる。２種類のポリプロピレンとしては、例えば、ホモポリマーのポリプロピレン、ランダムコポリマーのポリプロピレン及びブロックコポリマーのポリプロピレンのうち、任意の２種類を選択することができる。また、この樹脂には、後述する容器成型の工程における端材を含んでいてもよい。酸素バリア層１１１ｂは、例えば、酸素の透過を妨げるエチレン－ビニルアルコール共重合体樹脂（ＥＶＯＨ）で構成されている。接着剤１１１ｃとしては、任意の接着剤が用いられる。内側層１１２を構成する樹脂には、例えば、２種類のポリプロピレン（ＰＰ）が混合されている。外側層１１３を構成する樹脂には、２種類のポリプロピレン（ＰＰ）に加え、例えば、帯電防止剤（界面活性剤等）が添加されている。これらのポリプロピレン、エチレン－ビニルアルコール共重合体樹脂、マスターバッチ、相溶化剤、帯電防止剤、接着剤等については、従来公知のものを使用することができる。
For example, two types of polypropylene (PP), an orange masterbatch (MB), and a compatibilizing agent are blended in the resin constituting the colored layer 111a. As the orange master batch, for example, model number “SCPPM66520” manufactured by Sankyo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. can be used. As the two types of polypropylene, for example, any two of homopolymer polypropylene, random copolymer polypropylene, and block copolymer polypropylene can be selected. Moreover, the end material in the process of the container molding mentioned later may be included in this resin. The oxygen barrier layer 111b is made of, for example, an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer resin (EVOH) that prevents permeation of oxygen. An arbitrary adhesive is used as the adhesive 111c. For example, two types of polypropylene (PP) are mixed in the resin constituting the inner layer 112. In addition to two types of polypropylene (PP), for example, an antistatic agent (surfactant or the like) is added to the resin constituting the outer layer 113. As these polypropylene, ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer resin, masterbatch, compatibilizer, antistatic agent, adhesive and the like, conventionally known ones can be used.
容器本体１１は、上述のように、橙色の着色層１１１ａを含む樹脂の積層体で構成されているので、全体として橙色となっている。この橙色は、目視で容器本体１１内部の色や内容物の濃さなどが判別できないほど困難な程度の濃度の橙色である。そのため、容器本体１１は、波長が５２０ｎｍ以下の光の透過率を３５％以下に抑えることができる。また、容器本体１１が橙色なので、波長８００～２２００ｎｍの光を５５％以上の透過率で透過させることができる。
As described above, the container main body 11 is composed of a resin laminate including the orange colored layer 111a, and thus has an orange color as a whole. This orange color is an orange having a density that is so difficult that the color inside the container body 11 and the density of the contents cannot be discriminated visually. Therefore, the container main body 11 can suppress the transmittance of light having a wavelength of 520 nm or less to 35% or less. Further, since the container body 11 is orange, light having a wavelength of 800 to 2200 nm can be transmitted with a transmittance of 55% or more.
容器本体１１のうち包装部材１２が覆っていない部分１１ｂは、容器１０の長波長光透過領域１０ｂとなる領域である。長波長光透過領域１０ｂは、容器１０に密封充填された経腸栄養剤１の品質を検査するときに、検査光が照射される領域である。この検査については後述する。
The portion 11 b of the container body 11 that is not covered by the packaging member 12 is a region that becomes the long wavelength light transmission region 10 b of the container 10. The long wavelength light transmission region 10b is a region irradiated with inspection light when the quality of the enteral nutrient 1 hermetically sealed in the container 10 is inspected. This inspection will be described later.
（経腸栄養剤）
容器１０に充填する経腸栄養剤１は、牛乳、果汁等の普通流動食であっても、天然濃厚流動食や人工濃厚流動食等の濃厚流動食であってもよい。人工濃厚流動食の場合、経腸栄養剤１は、成分栄養剤、消化態栄養剤、半消化態栄養剤のいずれであってもよい。また、経腸栄養剤１は、医薬品であっても食品であってもよい。経腸栄養剤１は、水、アミノ酸、ペプチド、たんぱく質、脂質、リン脂質、脂肪酸、炭水化物（糖質）、オリゴ糖、食物繊維などの主要成分やビタミンＡ、カロテン類、ビタミンＤ、ビタミンＥ、ビタミンＫ、ビタミンＢ1、ビタミンＢ２、ビタミンＢ６、ナイアシン、パントテン酸、ニコチン酸アミド、葉酸、ビタミンＢ１２、ビタミンＰ、ビタミンＱ、カルニチン、コリン、ＣｏＱ１０等のビタミン類等、カルシウム、マグネシウム、リン、ナトリウム、カリウム、鉄、銅、亜鉛、マンガン、セレン、クロムなどのミネラル類等、リンゴ酸、クエン酸、乳酸、酒石酸、エリソルビン酸などの有機酸等を任意に含む。また、目的に応じて、経腸栄養剤１には、これらの成分の種類や配合量、脂質の組成等が調整されている。また、経腸栄養剤１には、着色、着香、味付け、物性改良（粘度）、乳化安定、ｐＨ調整、保存を目的とした各種の食品添加物や任意の食品を添加していてもよい。 (Enteral nutrition)
The enteral nutrient 1 filled in thecontainer 10 may be a normal liquid food such as milk or fruit juice, or a concentrated liquid food such as a natural rich liquid food or an artificial thick liquid food.

Next, in step S33, enteral nutrient 1 (contained enteral nutrient 20) sealed in container 10 is stored in storage box 30. FIG. 9 is a perspective view showing a state in which the enteral nutrient 20 in a container is stored in the storage box 30. Moreover, FIG. 10 is the figure which looked at the storage box 30 which accommodated the enteral nutrient 20 with a container from the bottom face. The storage box 30 is made of cardboard, for example. The storage box 30 is provided with an inspection hole 31 on the bottom surface. Therefore, when the enteral nutrient 20 in a container is stored, as shown in FIG. 10, the long wavelength light transmission region 10 b on the bottom surface of the container 10 is exposed through the inspection hole 31.
－検査工程－
次いで、ステップＳ４１において、上記保管した容器入り経腸栄養剤２０に充填された経腸栄養剤１の品質検査を行う。このとき、近赤外領域の光を検査光として用いる。水、脂質、たんぱく質などの有機物等の吸光スペクトルは近赤外領域に存在するので、近赤外領域の光を検査光として用いることができる。この検査を行うことにより、微生物汚染などによる腐敗や凝集の検出、たんぱく質の変性状態の測定、脂肪酸の検出、水分量の測定、ショ糖の濃度、毛髪の検出、含有成分の判別等を行うことができる。なお、たんぱく質の変性状態を測定することにより、微生物汚染の状態や熱変性の状態を知ることができる。 -Inspection process-
Subsequently, in step S41, the quality inspection of the enteral nutrient 1 filled in the storedenteral nutrient 20 in the container is performed. At this time, light in the near infrared region is used as inspection light. Absorption spectra of organic substances such as water, lipids, and proteins exist in the near infrared region, so light in the near infrared region can be used as inspection light. By performing this inspection, detection of decay and aggregation due to microbial contamination, measurement of protein denaturation, detection of fatty acids, measurement of water content, concentration of sucrose, detection of hair, discrimination of contained components, etc. Can do. By measuring the denaturation state of the protein, it is possible to know the state of microbial contamination and the state of heat denaturation.
次いで、ステップＳ４１において、上記保管した容器入り経腸栄養剤２０に充填された経腸栄養剤１の品質検査を行う。このとき、近赤外領域の光を検査光として用いる。水、脂質、たんぱく質などの有機物等の吸光スペクトルは近赤外領域に存在するので、近赤外領域の光を検査光として用いることができる。この検査を行うことにより、微生物汚染などによる腐敗や凝集の検出、たんぱく質の変性状態の測定、脂肪酸の検出、水分量の測定、ショ糖の濃度、毛髪の検出、含有成分の判別等を行うことができる。なお、たんぱく質の変性状態を測定することにより、微生物汚染の状態や熱変性の状態を知ることができる。 -Inspection process-
Subsequently, in step S41, the quality inspection of the enteral nutrient 1 filled in the stored
検査光として近赤外光を用いた検査装置としては、例えば、住友電気工業株式会社製の「Ｃｏｍｐｏｖｉｓｉｏｎ」やテクニコン社製の「インフライザー」等を用いることができる。これらの検査装置は、容器入り経腸栄養剤２０の長波長光透過領域１０ｂに対して検査光を照射する。照射された検査光は、長波長光透過領域１０ｂから容器入り経腸栄養剤２０の容器１０の内部に進入し、経腸栄養剤１に到達する。経腸栄養剤１に到達した検査光は、一部が経腸栄養剤１で吸収され、残りが反射される。経腸栄養剤１で反射された光の一部は、再び長波長光透過領域１０ｂを通過した後、検査装置に到達する。そして、検査装置において、到達した光の波長及び光量が測定される。この測定された光の波長及び光量を解析することにより、経腸栄養剤１の品質を検査することができる。
As an inspection apparatus using near-infrared light as the inspection light, for example, “Compovision” manufactured by Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd., “Infraser” manufactured by Technicon Corporation, or the like can be used. These inspection apparatuses irradiate inspection light to the long wavelength light transmission region 10b of the enteral nutrient 20 in a container. The irradiated inspection light enters the container 10 of the enteral nutrient 20 in the container from the long wavelength light transmission region 10 b and reaches the enteral nutrient 1. A part of the inspection light reaching the enteral nutrient 1 is absorbed by the enteral nutrient 1 and the rest is reflected. A part of the light reflected by the enteral nutrient 1 passes through the long wavelength light transmission region 10b again and then reaches the inspection device. Then, in the inspection apparatus, the wavelength and the amount of light that has reached are measured. The quality of the enteral nutrient 1 can be inspected by analyzing the measured wavelength and amount of light.
なお、この検査装置では、検査光として８００～２２００ｎｍの波長の光を用いて測定するが、８００～２２００ｎｍの全域にわたって検査光を走査することは必須ではない。少なくとも、検査しようとする対象成分の品質の検出に必要な波長の光を照射すればよい。例えば、経腸栄養剤中の微生物による汚染の状態を検査するためには、少なくとも、１１００～１１５０ｎｍ及び１４００～１６００ｎｍの光を照射すればよい。
In this inspection apparatus, measurement is performed using light having a wavelength of 800 to 2200 nm as inspection light, but it is not essential to scan the inspection light over the entire range of 800 to 2200 nm. What is necessary is just to irradiate the light of a wavelength required for the detection of the quality of the target component to be examined at least. For example, in order to inspect the state of contamination by microorganisms in the enteral nutrient, at least light of 1100 to 1150 nm and 1400 to 1600 nm may be irradiated.
これらの検査装置の解像度は、例えば、フレームレートが３００ｆｐｓ（Frames per second）、視野幅が３００ｍｍ、及びラインスピードが２０ｍ／ｍｉｎの条件下で、１ｍｍである（住友電気工業株式会社製の「Ｃｏｍｐｏｖｉｓｉｏｎ」の場合）。つまり、この場合、３００ｍｍの視野幅を被検査物が通過する間に、３００フレームの画像処理がなされる。
The resolution of these inspection apparatuses is, for example, 1 mm under the conditions of a frame rate of 300 fps (Frames per second), a visual field width of 300 mm, and a line speed of 20 m / min (“Compovision” manufactured by Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd.). "in the case of). That is, in this case, image processing of 300 frames is performed while the inspection object passes through the viewing width of 300 mm.
品質検査において、上述のように、保管箱３０の底面では、検査穴３１を介して長波長光透過領域１０ｂが保管箱３０の表面に露出した状態となっているので、容器入り経腸栄養剤２０を保管箱３０から取り出すことなく品質検査を行うことができる。また、検査装置が上述のように高速及び高解像度での画像処理を行うことができるので、非常に短時間で迅速に品質検査を行うことができる。
In the quality inspection, as described above, the long wavelength light transmission region 10b is exposed on the surface of the storage box 30 through the inspection hole 31 on the bottom surface of the storage box 30. Quality inspection can be performed without removing 20 from the storage box 30. In addition, since the inspection apparatus can perform image processing at high speed and high resolution as described above, quality inspection can be performed quickly in a very short time.
上記のように、保管箱３０に収容したままの状態で容器入り経腸栄養剤２０の品質検査を行うことができるので、製造した容器入り経腸栄養剤２０の全数について、品質検査を行うことができる。
As described above, since the quality inspection of the containered enteral nutrient 20 can be performed in the state of being accommodated in the storage box 30, the quality inspection is performed on the total number of manufactured enteral nutrients 20 in the container. Can do.
なお、この品質検査において不良と判断された容器入り経腸栄養剤２０は、保管箱３０から取り出しされて廃棄される。
In addition, the enteral nutrient 20 contained in the container determined to be defective in this quality inspection is taken out from the storage box 30 and discarded.
以上の工程を経て得られた容器入り経腸栄養剤２０は、ステップＳ４２において、品質検査済みの容器入り経腸栄養剤２０として保管される。このとき、保管箱３０をさらに別の箱に収容したり、保管箱３０の底面に別のダンボール紙を貼り付けたりして、底面の検査穴３１を塞いでしまってもよい。保管箱３０で保管された容器入り経腸栄養剤２０は、適当な時期に出荷される。なお、品質検査を経た容器入り経腸栄養剤２０は、保管せずに、すぐに出荷してもよい。
The containered enteral nutrient 20 obtained through the above steps is stored as a quality-tested enteral nutrient 20 in step S42. At this time, the storage box 30 may be further accommodated in another box, or another cardboard paper may be attached to the bottom surface of the storage box 30 to close the inspection hole 31 on the bottom surface. The containered enteral nutrient 20 stored in the storage box 30 is shipped at an appropriate time. In addition, the enteral nutrient 20 in a container that has undergone quality inspection may be shipped immediately without being stored.

Hereinafter, this point will be described in detail.
―栄養成分の劣化および減少の抑制―
経腸栄養剤１に含まれる栄養成分の光吸収波長は、可視光領域及び紫外領域の光を吸収するピークを有する。そして、栄養成分は、光照射により生じたラジカルにより劣化したり、その含量が減少したりすることが分かっている。例えば、ビタミンＡは、３２５ｎｍの波長の光を吸収する。ビタミンＥは、２６０～２６５ｎｍの波長の光を吸収する。ビタミンＢ６は、２８５～２９５ｎｍの波長の光を吸収する。ビタミンＢ２（リボフラビン）は、５２０ｎｍの波長の光を吸収する。ビタミンＢ１２は、３５０～３６０ｎｍの波長の光を吸収する。葉酸は、紫外領域（２５５～２５７ｎｍ、２８１～２８５ｎｍ、及び３６１～３６９ｎｍ）の波長の光を吸収する。 ―Suppression of deterioration and reduction of nutrients―
The light absorption wavelength of the nutrient component contained in the enteral nutrient 1 has a peak that absorbs light in the visible light region and the ultraviolet region. And it is known that the nutrient component is deteriorated by the radical generated by the light irradiation or the content thereof is reduced. For example, vitamin A absorbs light with a wavelength of 325 nm. Vitamin E absorbs light with a wavelength of 260-265 nm. Vitamin B 6 absorbs light with a wavelength between 285 and 295 nm. Vitamin B 2 (riboflavin) absorbs light with a wavelength of 520 nm. Vitamin B 12 absorbs light with a wavelength of 350-360 nm. Folic acid absorbs light in the ultraviolet region (255-257 nm, 281-285 nm, and 361-369 nm).

また、経腸栄養剤１は、可視光領域及び紫外領域の光が照射されることにより、香気成分、風味、色素等が劣化又は減少したり、オフフレーバーや酸化が発生したりする。
In addition, the enteral nutrient 1 is irradiated with light in the visible light region and the ultraviolet region, so that aroma components, flavors, pigments and the like deteriorate or decrease, and off-flavor and oxidation occur.
本実施形態によれば、経腸栄養剤１が密封充填された容器１０の容器本体１１が橙色のプラスチックで形成されているので、５２０ｎｍ以下の波長の光に対する光線透過率が３５％以下である（後述の実験４で説明する図１４を参照。）。従って、容器１０は波長５２０ｎｍ以下の光を遮光することができ、結果として、容器入り経腸栄養剤２０が商品として店頭に陳列され店内の照明を浴びた状態であっても、経腸栄養剤１の栄養成分や香気成分、風味、色素の劣化又は減少、あるいはオフフレーバーや酸化の発生を抑制することができる。
According to the present embodiment, since the container body 11 of the container 10 hermetically filled with the enteral nutrient 1 is formed of an orange plastic, the light transmittance for light having a wavelength of 520 nm or less is 35% or less. (See FIG. 14 described in Experiment 4 below.) Therefore, the container 10 can shield light having a wavelength of 520 nm or less, and as a result, even if the enteral nutrient 20 contained in the container is displayed as a product in the storefront and illuminated in the store, the enteral nutrient It is possible to suppress the deterioration or decrease of 1 nutritional component, flavor component, flavor, pigment, or off-flavor or oxidation.

The container body 11 may be formed of a material having a transmittance of 30% or more for light having wavelengths of 1100 to 1150 nm and 1400 to 1600 nm. In a container with a color other than orange translucent, the quality of the contents can be inspected non-invasively as long as the plastic realizes a transmittance of 30% or more for light with wavelengths of 1100 to 1150 nm and 1400 to 1600 nm. It has been confirmed that there is.

なお、容器本体の色が何色であったとしても、容器入り経腸栄養剤２０の外観としては、容器本体の色は容器１０底面の長波長光透過領域１０ｂにしか現れない。容器本体の側面は、遮光性の包装部材１２で覆われており、容器１０の開口部１０ａには、アルミフィルム１３が貼り付けられているからである。したがって、容器入り経腸栄養剤２０から経腸栄養剤１を摂取する者の好みを考慮することなく、容器本体の色を選択することが可能である。
It should be noted that, regardless of the color of the container body, the color of the container body appears only in the long wavelength light transmission region 10b on the bottom surface of the container 10 as the appearance of the enteral nutrient 20 in the container. This is because the side surface of the container body is covered with the light-shielding packaging member 12 and the aluminum film 13 is attached to the opening 10 a of the container 10. Therefore, it is possible to select the color of the container body without considering the preference of the person who takes the enteral nutrient 1 from the enteral nutrient 20 in the container.

In this case, the entire container provided in the container 10 becomes a long wavelength light transmission region.
本実施形態では、長波長光透過領域１０ｂにおいて、容器本体１１が表面に露出した状態となっているとして説明したが、波長１１００～１１５０ｎｍ及び１４００～１６００ｎｍの光の透過率を３０％以上に保てる限りは、特にこれに限定されない。例えば、長波長光透過領域１０ｂにおいて、容器本体１１が無色透明フィルム等で覆われていてもよい。
In the present embodiment, it has been described that the container body 11 is exposed on the surface in the long-wavelength light transmission region 10b.

Moreover, you may close the opening part of the container 10 by methods, such as hot press, without providing another member as a cover body. Moreover, it is not necessary that the entire upper surface of the container 10 is open. For example, only a part of the upper surface is an opening, and the opening may be sealed with a plastic film.
本実施形態では、容器入り経腸栄養剤２０の製造工程中、ステップＳ２０の容器準備の工程において容器本体１１を包装部材１２で覆うとして説明したが、特にこれに限定されない。例えば、ステップＳ２０において、容器本体１１を作製し、経腸栄養剤１を充填した後で、容器本体１１を包装部材１２で覆ってもよい。ただし、容器本体の波長５２０ｎｍの光に対する透過率が７５％以下ではない場合には、例えば、経腸栄養剤１の充填に先行して、５２０ｎｍ以下の波長域における光の透過率が７５％以下の包装部材で容器本体を覆って、容器本体の内部に５２０ｎｍ以下の波長域における光が進入するのを抑制することが必要である。また、容器本体の波長５２０ｎｍの光に対する透過率が３５％以下ではない場合には、経腸栄養剤１の充填に先行して、５２０ｎｍ以下の波長域における光の透過率が３５％以下の包装部材で容器本体を覆っておくことが好ましい。これにより、経腸栄養剤１の長期保存性が向上する。
In the present embodiment, the container body 11 is covered with the packaging member 12 in the container preparation process of step S20 during the manufacturing process of the enteral nutrient 20 in a container, but the present invention is not particularly limited thereto.

上記の実施形態において、微生物検査に用いる検査光の波長が１１００～１１５０ｎｍ及び１４００～１６００ｎｍの範囲であると説明したが、検査の条件によって、１１００～１１５０ｎｍ及び１４００～１６００ｎｍの範囲からずれていても、微生物検査を行うことができる場合がある。したがって、本発明の容器の長波長光透過領域１０ｂが、１１００～１１５０ｎｍ及び１４００～１６００ｎｍの波長の光に対する透過率が３０％以上の材料で形成されていることは、必須の構成ではない。本発明の容器の長波長光透過領域１０ｂは、検査の条件によって必要とされる波長の光に対する透過率が３０％以上であればよい。つまり、近赤外領域の光（７００ｎｍ以上、且つ２５００ｎｍ以下）のうち、栄養成分の検査において、検査条件に応じて必要とされる波長λｎｍ（７００≦λ≦２５００）の光に対する透過率が３０％以上であればよい。
In the above embodiment, it has been described that the wavelength of the inspection light used for the microorganism inspection is in the range of 1100 to 1150 nm and 1400 to 1600 nm, but it may be shifted from the range of 1100 to 1150 nm and 1400 to 1600 nm depending on the inspection conditions. In some cases, microbiological tests can be performed. Therefore, it is not an essential configuration that the long wavelength light transmission region 10b of the container of the present invention is formed of a material having a transmittance of 30% or more for light having wavelengths of 1100 to 1150 nm and 1400 to 1600 nm. The long-wavelength light transmission region 10b of the container of the present invention only needs to have a transmittance of 30% or more for light having a wavelength required depending on the inspection conditions. That is, among the light in the near-infrared region (700 nm or more and 2500 nm or less), the transmittance for light having a wavelength of λ nm (700 ≦ λ ≦ 2500) required according to the inspection condition is 30 in the nutritional component inspection. % Or more.
上記の実施形態では、容器１０の全体において、５２０ｎｍ以下の波長の光の透過率が７５％以下であると説明したが、これは、本発明において必須の構成ではない。本発明の容器１０は、容器本体１１の底面以外の部分が、波長５２０ｎｍ以下の光に対する透過率が７５％以下となるように構成されていればよく、容器本体１１の底面が、例えば、無色透明の材料で構成されていてもよい。
In the above embodiment, it has been described that the transmittance of light having a wavelength of 520 nm or less is 75% or less in the entire container 10, but this is not an essential configuration in the present invention. The container 10 of the present invention may be configured so that the portion other than the bottom surface of the container body 11 has a transmittance of 75% or less with respect to light having a wavelength of 520 nm or less. You may be comprised with the transparent material.
この場合、容器１０の底面からは５２０ｎｍ以下の光が容器本体１１の内部に進入可能となってしまう。しかしながら、容器入り経腸栄養剤の流通の形態においては、容器の底面からの光の侵入がほとんどないという場合もあり得る。例えば、底面を下に向けて、経腸栄養剤入り容器を不透明のコンテナに収容し、経腸栄養剤入り容器を保管又は運搬する場合、容器の底面は常にコンテナで覆われることとなり、容器の底面から内部に光が進入しない。また、底面を下に向けて経腸栄養剤入り容器を陳列棚に並べる場合、容器の底面は常に棚で覆われることとなり、容器の底面から内部に光が進入しない。そのため、容器の底面が波長５２０ｎｍ以下の光に対する透過率が７５％より大きくても、容器の内部には、ほとんど、波長５２０ｎｍ以下の光が進入しない。したがって、容器の底面が、波長５２０ｎｍ以下の光に対する透過率が７５％より大きい材料で形成されていても、波長５２０ｎｍ以下の光によって経腸栄養剤１の栄養成分や風味等が劣化したり減少したりするのが抑制又は防止される。
In this case, light of 520 nm or less can enter the inside of the container body 11 from the bottom surface of the container 10. However, in the form of distribution of the enteral nutrient in a container, there may be a case where almost no light enters from the bottom surface of the container. For example, if the container with enteral nutrient is placed in an opaque container with the bottom side facing down, and the container with enteral nutrient is stored or transported, the bottom of the container will always be covered with the container. Light does not enter the interior from the bottom. In addition, when containers with enteral nutrients are arranged on a display shelf with the bottom side facing down, the bottom surface of the container is always covered with the shelf, and light does not enter the inside from the bottom surface of the container. Therefore, even if the transmittance of the bottom surface of the container with respect to light having a wavelength of 520 nm or less is greater than 75%, light having a wavelength of 520 nm or less hardly enters the inside of the container. Therefore, even if the bottom surface of the container is made of a material having a transmittance of more than 75% for light having a wavelength of 520 nm or less, the nutritional components and flavors of the enteral nutrient 1 are deteriorated or decreased by the light having a wavelength of 520 nm or less. It is suppressed or prevented.
以上、上述した実施の形態は本発明を実施するための例示に過ぎない。よって、本発明は上述した実施の形態に限定されることなく、その趣旨を逸脱しない範囲内で上述した実施の形態を適宜変形して実施することが可能である。
The above-described embodiment is merely an example for carrying out the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be implemented by appropriately modifying the above-described embodiment without departing from the spirit thereof.

近赤外線を透過する色調を調べるために、色調と光線透過率の関係を調べる実験１を行った。 [Experiment 1]
In order to examine the color tone that transmits near-infrared rays, Experiment 1 was conducted to examine the relationship between the color tone and the light transmittance.
まず、市販の有色透明なプラスチックシート（厚さが５ｍｍ）を５種類準備した。準備したプラスチックシートは、それぞれ、緑色、青色、赤色、橙色及び茶色であった。各プラスチックシートにおいて、波長３００ｎｍ～８００ｎｍでの光線透過率を測定した。この測定には、島津製作所製の紫外可視分光光度計（型番：ＵＶ－２４５０）を使用した。図１１は、実験１の測定結果を示すグラフである。
First, five types of commercially available colored transparent plastic sheets (thickness 5 mm) were prepared. The prepared plastic sheets were green, blue, red, orange and brown, respectively. In each plastic sheet, the light transmittance at a wavelength of 300 nm to 800 nm was measured. For this measurement, an ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer (model number: UV-2450) manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation was used. FIG. 11 is a graph showing the measurement results of Experiment 1.
実験１の結果、図１１より、赤色及び橙色のプラスチックシートは、５２０ｎｍ以下の波長の光（紫外光及び可視光）の透過率が５％以下であり、また、７００ｎｍ以上の波長の光（近赤外光）の透過率が９２％以上であることが分かった。
As a result of Experiment 1, as shown in FIG. 11, the red and orange plastic sheets have a transmittance of 5% or less for light having a wavelength of 520 nm or less (ultraviolet light and visible light), and light having a wavelength of 700 nm or more (near wavelength). It was found that the transmittance of (infrared light) was 92% or more.

橙色、白色、透明の容器のそれぞれの遮光性を評価する目的で、以下の実験２を行った。ここでは、光に弱い栄養成分の代表として、ビタミンＢ２（ＶＢ２）を選定し、光照射前と光照射開始後の試料中のビタミンＢ２の含量を測定することで、各色の容器の遮光性を評価した。 [Experiment 2]
Thefollowing experiment 2 was performed for the purpose of evaluating the light shielding properties of the orange, white, and transparent containers. Here, vitamin B 2 (VB 2 ) is selected as a representative light-sensitive nutrient component, and the content of vitamin B2 in the sample before and after the start of light irradiation is measured, thereby shielding the light of each color container. Sex was evaluated.
橙色、白色、透明の容器のそれぞれの遮光性を評価する目的で、以下の実験２を行った。ここでは、光に弱い栄養成分の代表として、ビタミンＢ２（ＶＢ２）を選定し、光照射前と光照射開始後の試料中のビタミンＢ２の含量を測定することで、各色の容器の遮光性を評価した。 [Experiment 2]
The
実験２を行った手順について具体的に説明する。
The procedure for conducting Experiment 2 will be described specifically.
まず、橙色、白色、透明の各容器に市販の流動食（商品名：明治メイバランスＭｉｎｉ（登録商標）、株式会社明治製）を充填し、それぞれ、実施例１、比較例１及び比較例２とした。そして、実施例１及び比較例１，２の流動食に含まれるＶＢ２の量（以下、ＶＢ２含量ともいう。）を測定し、ＶＢ２含量の初期値とした。なお、ＶＢ２含量の測定は、新開発食品保健対策室長の通知「栄養表示基準における栄養成分等の分析方法等について」（平成１１年４月２６日 衛新第１３号）において定められた高速液体クロマトグラフ法に準じて行った。
First, each of the orange, white, and transparent containers is filled with a commercially available liquid food (trade name: Meiji May Balance Mini (registered trademark), manufactured by Meiji Co., Ltd.), and Example 1, Comparative Example 1, and Comparative Example 2, respectively. It was. Then, the amount of VB 2 contained in liquid food of Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2 (hereinafter, also referred to as VB 2 content.) Was measured and the initial value of VB 2 content. The VB 2 content is measured at the high speed specified in the notice of “Analytical Methods for Nutritional Components in Nutrition Labeling Standards” (April 26, 1999) It carried out according to the liquid chromatograph method.
続いて、この容器を、１５０００ルクスの照度で光照射をした状態で、雰囲気温度２５℃のもとで保存した。光照射開始から１週間、２週間、３週間及び４週間が経過した後のサンプルについても、保存開始時と同様にして、ＶＢ２含量の測定を行った。
Subsequently, the container was stored at an ambient temperature of 25 ° C. while being irradiated with light at an illuminance of 15000 lux. The VB 2 content was measured in the same manner as at the start of storage for samples after 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks and 4 weeks had elapsed since the start of light irradiation.
光照射後のサンプルにおけるＶＢ２含量を、光照射前のＶＢ２含量の初期値で除し、初期値に対する光照射後のＶＢ２の保持率を計算した。そして、この保持率が３０％以上であれば、「栄養成分（ＶＢ２）を良好に保持している」、すなわち「容器が十分な遮光性を有する」と評価した。
The VB 2 content in the sample after light irradiation was divided by the initial value of the VB 2 content before light irradiation, and the retention rate of VB 2 after light irradiation with respect to the initial value was calculated. When the retention rate was 30% or more, it was evaluated that “the nutritional component (VB 2 ) is well retained”, that is, “the container has sufficient light shielding properties”.
実験２の結果を図１２に示す。なお、図中の破線は、保持率が７０％のラインを示している。図１２のグラフから、容器として有色のものを用いた実施例１及び比較例１では、「栄養成分（ＶＢ２）を良好に保持している」、すなわち「容器が十分な遮光性を有する」ことが示された。一方、容器として透明のものを用いた比較例２では、光照射から２週間経過した時点で保持率が７０％を下回り、その後も徐々に保持率が低下してゆくことが分かった。
The result of Experiment 2 is shown in FIG. The broken line in the figure indicates a line with a retention rate of 70%. From the graph of FIG. 12, in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 in which colored containers are used, “nutrient component (VB 2 ) is well retained”, that is, “the container has sufficient light shielding properties”. It was shown that. On the other hand, in Comparative Example 2 in which a transparent container was used, it was found that the retention rate was less than 70% after 2 weeks from light irradiation, and the retention rate gradually decreased thereafter.
従って、実験２の結果から、透明ではなく着色した容器に流動食を保存することにより、光に弱い栄養成分（ここではＶＢ２）を良好に保持できることが分かる。
Therefore, from the results of Experiment 2, it can be seen that the nutrient component (here, VB 2 ) that is weak against light can be favorably retained by storing the liquid food in a colored container rather than transparent.
［実験３］
橙色の容器の遮光性を評価する目的で、以下の実験３を行った。ここでは、脂溶性の栄養成分の代表として、ビタミンＡ（ＶＡ）、ビタミンＥ（ＶＥ）、ビタミンＫ（ＶＫ）、水溶性の栄養成分の代表として、ビタミンＢ６（ＶＢ６）、ビタミンＢ１２（ＶＢ１２）、葉酸を選定した。 [Experiment 3]
In order to evaluate the light shielding property of the orange container, the followingexperiment 3 was performed. Here, vitamin A (VA), vitamin E (VE), vitamin K (VK) are representative of fat-soluble nutrient components, vitamin B 6 (VB 6 ), vitamin B 12 are representative of water-soluble nutrient components. (VB 12 ), folic acid was selected.

In order to evaluate the light shielding property of the orange container, the following
実験３を行った手順について具体的に説明する。
The procedure for performing Experiment 3 will be described in detail.
実験２における実施例１と同一のサンプルを作製した。そして、その流動食に含まれるＶＡ、ＶＥ、ＶＫ、ＶＢ６、ＶＢ１２、及び葉酸の量（以下、それぞれＶＡ含量、ＶＥ含量、ＶＫ含量、ＶＢ６含量、ＶＢ１２含量、及び葉酸含量ともいう。）を測定し、各栄養成分の含量の初期値とした。なお、ＶＡ含量、ＶＥ含量及びＶＫ含量の測定は、新開発食品保健対策室長の通知「栄養表示基準における栄養成分等の分析方法等について」（平成１１年４月２６日 衛新第１３号）において定められた高速液体クロマトグラフ法に準じて行った。また、ＶＢ６含量、ＶＢ１２含量、及び葉酸含量の測定は、同通知「栄養表示基準における栄養成分等の分析方法等について」（平成１１年４月２６日 衛新第１３号）において定められた微生物定量法に準じて行った。
The same sample as Example 1 in Experiment 2 was produced. And the amount of VA, VE, VK, VB 6 , VB 12 and folic acid contained in the liquid food (hereinafter also referred to as VA content, VE content, VK content, VB 6 content, VB 12 content, and folic acid content, respectively) .) Was measured and used as the initial value of the content of each nutritional component. In addition, the measurement of VA content, VE content and VK content is the notice of the newly developed food health measures department manager "About the analysis method of nutritional components etc. in nutrition labeling standards" (April 26, 1999, Eshin No. 13) This was performed according to the high performance liquid chromatograph method defined in 1. The measurement of VB 6 content, VB 12 content and folic acid content is defined in the same notice “Analytical methods of nutritional components etc. in nutrition labeling standards” (April 26, 1999, Shinshin No. 13). This was carried out according to the microbial assay method.
続いて、この容器を、１５０００ルクスの照度で光照射をした状態で、雰囲気温度が２５℃のもとで４週間保存した。そして、光照射開始から４週間が経過した後のサンプルについても、保存開始時と同様にして、ＶＡ含量、ＶＥ含量、ＶＫ含量、ＶＢ６含量、ＶＢ１２含量、及び葉酸含量の各々を測定した。
Subsequently, the container was stored for 4 weeks under an atmospheric temperature of 25 ° C. while being irradiated with light at an illuminance of 15000 lux. And about the sample after 4 weeks passed from the start of light irradiation, each of VA content, VE content, VK content, VB 6 content, VB 12 content, and folic acid content was measured in the same manner as at the start of storage. .
光照射後のサンプルにおける各栄養成分の含量を、光照射前の含量の初期値で除し、初期値に対する光照射後の各栄養成分の保持率を計算した。そして、この保持率が７０％以上であれば、「栄養成分を良好に保持している」、すなわち「容器が十分な遮光性を有する」と評価した。
The content of each nutrient component in the sample after light irradiation was divided by the initial value of the content before light irradiation, and the retention rate of each nutrient component after light irradiation with respect to the initial value was calculated. When the retention rate was 70% or more, it was evaluated that “the nutrient component was well retained”, that is, “the container has a sufficient light shielding property”.
実験３の結果を図１３に示す。図１３の表の結果から、脂溶性の栄養成分（ＶＡ、ＶＥ及びＶＫ）と水溶性の栄養成分（ＶＢ６、ＶＢ１２及び葉酸）の保持率は、すべて９２～１００％となり、「栄養成分を良好に保持している」、すなわち「容器が十分な遮光性を有する」ことが示された。換言すると、流動食等の飲食品を橙色の容器に保存することにより、脂溶性の栄養成分と水溶性の栄養成分が光照射されて減衰するのを抑制できることがわかる。
The result of Experiment 3 is shown in FIG. From the results in the table of FIG. 13, the retention rates of fat-soluble nutrient components (VA, VE and VK) and water-soluble nutrient components (VB 6 , VB 12 and folic acid) are all 92% to 100%. It was shown that "the container has sufficient light-shielding properties". In other words, it can be seen that by storing food and drink such as liquid food in an orange container, the fat-soluble nutrient component and the water-soluble nutrient component can be prevented from being attenuated by light irradiation.
なお、実験２及び３においては、実施例として橙色の容器についてのみ実験を行い、赤色の容器での実験を省略した。ただし、実験１の結果から、赤色の波長では、光線透過率の挙動が橙色の波長と類似しており、しかも、橙色の波長と比較して光線透過率の低い波長域が大きい。したがって、赤色容器では、橙色容器よりも高い遮光性を有すると推測される。
In Experiments 2 and 3, the experiment was conducted only for the orange container as an example, and the experiment using the red container was omitted. However, from the result of Experiment 1, at the red wavelength, the behavior of the light transmittance is similar to the orange wavelength, and the wavelength range where the light transmittance is low compared to the orange wavelength is large. Therefore, it is presumed that the red container has a higher light shielding property than the orange container.

飲食品を橙色及び白色の容器に保存した状態で近赤外線（波長７００ｎｍ～２５００ｎｍ）による内容物検査を行うことができるかどうかを調べるために、以下の実験４を行った。 [Experiment 4]
In order to examine whether or not the content inspection by near infrared rays (wavelength 700 nm to 2500 nm) can be performed in a state where the food or drink is stored in orange and white containers, the following Experiment 4 was performed.
飲食品を橙色及び白色の容器に保存した状態で近赤外線（波長７００ｎｍ～２５００ｎｍ）による内容物検査を行うことができるかどうかを調べるために、以下の実験４を行った。 [Experiment 4]
In order to examine whether or not the content inspection by near infrared rays (
実験４を行った手順について具体的に説明する。
The procedure for conducting Experiment 4 will be described in detail.
まず、橙色の容器と白色の容器を準備した。そして、これらの容器の光透過率を測定した。橙色の容器については、波長２５０ｎｍ～２５００ｎｍの範囲で波長を走査して測定した。また、白色の容器については、波長５００ｎｍ～２５００ｎｍの範囲で波長を走査して測定した。この測定には、島津製作所製の紫外可視分光光度計（型番：ＳｏｌｉｄＳｐｅｃ－３７００ＤＵＶ）を使用した。
First, an orange container and a white container were prepared. And the light transmittance of these containers was measured. For the orange container, the wavelength was measured in the wavelength range of 250 nm to 2500 nm. For the white container, the wavelength was scanned in the wavelength range of 500 nm to 2500 nm. For this measurement, an ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer (model number: SolidSpec-3700DUV) manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation was used.
容器を近赤外光が透過するということは、容器に充填されたままの飲食物に対して、近赤外線による内容物の品質検査を行うことができるということを意味する。なお、近赤外線の透過率が３０％以上のとき、内容物の品質検査を十分に行うことができる。
The transmission of near-infrared light through the container means that the quality inspection of the contents by the near-infrared can be performed on the food and drink that are filled in the container. In addition, when the near-infrared transmittance is 30% or more, the quality inspection of the contents can be sufficiently performed.
図１４は、実験４の測定結果を示すグラフである。図１４によれば、橙色の容器は、波長が８００～２２００ｎｍの領域において、近赤外線の透過率が５５％以上となることがわかった。特に、微生物汚染の状態を検査するのに必要な波長域（１１００～１１５０ｎｍ、及び１４００～１６００ｎｍ）においては、７０％以上の透過率を示すことがわかった。一方、白色の容器では、近赤外線の波長域全域にわたって、近赤外線の透過率が３０％にも満たないことがわかった。
FIG. 14 is a graph showing the measurement results of Experiment 4. According to FIG. 14, it was found that the orange container has a near-infrared transmittance of 55% or more in the wavelength range of 800 to 2200 nm. In particular, it was found that the transmittance was 70% or more in the wavelength range (1100 to 1150 nm and 1400 to 1600 nm) necessary for examining the state of microbial contamination. On the other hand, it was found that the near-infrared transmittance of the white container was less than 30% over the entire near-infrared wavelength region.
従って、実験４の結果より、飲食品などを橙色の容器に充填すれば、飲食品を容器から取り出すことなく、近赤外線により内容物（製品）の品質を検査できることが確認された。
Therefore, from the result of Experiment 4, it was confirmed that the quality of the contents (product) can be inspected by near infrared rays without taking out the food or drink from the container if the food or drink is filled in an orange container.
