Description

非水溶性色素組成物Water-insoluble dye composition
 本発明は、非水溶性色素組成物に関する。 The present invention relates to a water-insoluble dye composition.
 食品用色素として、多種多様の赤色色素、黄色色素、青色色素が存在するが、近年、発癌性等の問題から合成着色料が疑問視され、より安全性が高いと考えられている天然色素に対する期待が大きくなっている。しかし、天然色素には物性的に一長一短があり、特に色調的に鮮明な赤色・青色色素が少ないのが現状である。 There are a wide variety of red, yellow, and blue colorants for food, but in recent years, synthetic colorants have been questioned due to problems such as carcinogenicity. Expectations are high. However, natural pigments have both advantages and disadvantages in terms of physical properties, and the current situation is that red and blue pigments that are particularly vivid in color tone are scarce.
 青色を呈する天然色素として藻類色素のフィコシアニン色素がある。フィコシアニン色素は蛋白質結合色素であり、藍藻類のスピルリナ等から抽出することができることが知られている。フィコシアニンは鮮明な青色を呈する色素であり、サステナブル色素として市場の期待も大きい。 Phycocyanin, an algae pigment, is a natural blue pigment. Phycocyanin pigments are protein-binding pigments and are known to be extractable from blue-green algae such as Spirulina. Phycocyanin is a pigment that exhibits a vivid blue color, and there are high expectations in the market as a sustainable pigment.
 この市場の大きな期待から、近年、フィコシアニンに関する研究が数多く報告されている。例えば、フィコシアニンと、ヒドロキシ基を1つ以上含む多価カルボン酸と、特定の非イオン性乳化剤とを混合させることにより、フィコシアニンの熱的安定性を改善させた研究が報告されている(特許文献1参照)。 Due to the great expectations of this market, many studies on phycocyanin have been reported in recent years. For example, studies have been reported to improve the thermal stability of phycocyanin by mixing phycocyanin, a polycarboxylic acid containing one or more hydroxy groups, and a specific nonionic emulsifier (Patent Document 1).
国際公開第2020/129745号公報International Publication No. 2020/129745
 しかしながら、フィコシアニンは、上述したように蛋白質結合色素であるために水溶性であり、水への溶出やそれに伴う色落ちの問題が生じやすいという問題があった。特許文献1のようにフィコシアニンの熱的安定性を改善した研究は報告されているものの、フィコシアニンを非水溶化した研究は未だ報告されていない。このためフィコシアニンは、ごく限られた用途でしか使用されていなかった。 However, as mentioned above, phycocyanin is a protein-bound pigment, so it is water-soluble, and has the problem of elution in water and the resulting color fading. As in Patent Document 1, studies have been reported on improving the thermal stability of phycocyanin, but studies on making phycocyanin non-water-soluble have not yet been reported. For this reason, phycocyanin has been used only in very limited applications.
 本発明は、フィコシアニンが非水溶化された、非水溶性色素組成物を提供することを目的とする。 An object of the present invention is to provide a water-insoluble pigment composition in which phycocyanin is water-insoluble.

 本発明によれば、フィコシアニンが非水溶化された、非水溶性色素組成物を提供することができる。 According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a water-insoluble pigment composition in which phycocyanin is water-insoluble.
 以下、本発明の非水溶性色素組成物について詳細に説明するが、以下に記載する構成要件の説明は、本発明の一実施態様としての一例であり、これらの内容に特定されるものではない。 Hereinafter, the water-insoluble dye composition of the present invention will be described in detail, but the description of the constituent elements described below is an example as one embodiment of the present invention, and is not limited to these contents. .
(非水溶性色素組成物)
 本発明の非水溶性色素組成物は、フィコシアニンと、カラギーナンとが複合化してなる組成物である。なお、本明細書において「非水溶性」とは、25℃における水への溶解性が1質量%未満であることをいう。
(Water-insoluble dye composition)
The water-insoluble pigment composition of the present invention is a composite of phycocyanin and carrageenan. As used herein, the term “water-insoluble” means that the solubility in water at 25° C. is less than 1% by mass.
 フィコシアニンは水溶性であるが、本発明の非水溶性色素組成物は、鮮やかな青色を有すると共に、フィコシアニンの水への溶出がない。フィコシアニンの水への溶出がない理由として、カラギーナンとの化学結合によって水への溶出が阻害されているものと推定される。従って、本発明の非水溶性色素組成物は、フィコシアニンとカラギーナンとが化学結合により複合化されているものと推定される。より具体的には、フィコシアニン中のフィコシアノビリンのNH基および/またはフィコシアニン中の塩基性アミノ基と、カラギーナン中の硫酸基との化学結合により複合化されているものと推定される。
 すなわち、本明細書において「複合化」とは、フィコシアニンとカラギーナンとが化学結合している状態であることをいう。
Although phycocyanin is water-soluble, the water-insoluble pigment composition of the present invention has a vivid blue color and does not dissolve phycocyanin into water. It is presumed that the reason why phycocyanin does not dissolve in water is that the chemical bond with carrageenan inhibits the dissolution of phycocyanin in water. Therefore, in the water-insoluble pigment composition of the present invention, phycocyanin and carrageenan are presumed to be chemically bonded. More specifically, it is presumed that the NH group of phycocyanobilin in phycocyanin and/or the basic amino group in phycocyanin are chemically bonded to the sulfate group in carrageenan.
That is, the term "complexed" as used herein means a state in which phycocyanin and carrageenan are chemically bonded.
 本発明の非水溶性色素組成物におけるフィコシアニンとカラギーナンとの組成比(フィコシアニン:カラギーナン)は、質量比で、100:1~100:100であることが好ましく、100:1~100:75であることがより好ましく、100:3~100:75であることが更に好ましく、100:3~100:50であることが特に好ましい。上記範囲内であれば、フィコシアニンを効果的に非水溶化でき、かつ鮮明な青色を有する組成物が得られる傾向がある。 The composition ratio of phycocyanin and carrageenan (phycocyanin: carrageenan) in the water-insoluble pigment composition of the present invention is preferably 100: 1 to 100: 100, more preferably 100: 1 to 100: 75. is more preferred, 100:3 to 100:75 is even more preferred, and 100:3 to 100:50 is particularly preferred. Within the above range, there is a tendency to effectively solubilize phycocyanin and obtain a composition having a clear blue color.
 非水溶性色素組成物の平均粒子径は、特に制限されないが、例えば、インキ化時の発色性や隠ぺい性の観点から0.01~100μmであることが好ましく、0.05~50μmであることがより好ましく、0.1~20μmであることが更に好ましい。
