Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a technology for reusing pomace and extract residues from natural organic matter, and more specifically, to a technology for processing pomace and extract residues from natural organic matter and effectively utilizing them primarily as oral ingredients for health foods and supplements. [Background technology]

[0002] It has been common practice to squeeze or extract natural organic matter having liquid and solid components, such as agricultural products such as fruits, medicinal herbs, root crops, and vegetables, or seafood such as fish and shellfish, and use the juice, food extract, medicine, and the like. However, this inevitably results in the generation of large amounts of squeezed residue and extraction residue (hereinafter simply referred to as "residue").

[0003] Currently, most of these residues are discarded or incinerated, with some being used as animal feed. However, these residues still contain about 40 to 65% by mass of solid components, and also contain a large amount of useful components. For example, fruit peels, which are the residues left after squeezing fruit juice, contain about 1.0 to 1.5 times as many useful components as fruit juice.

[0004] Therefore, coupled with the recent increase in awareness of resource conservation, studies are being conducted on the reuse of the useful components remaining in these residues, for example, as oral materials for health foods and supplements, including food. Effective use of such useful components is also important as a measure to revitalize local industries, and by processing the residues that have been refrigerated or frozen during busy seasons during the agricultural off-season, it is possible to carry out work throughout the year, which is thought to contribute greatly not only to the revitalization of local industries, but also to reducing the manufacturing costs of oral materials and products that use them.

[0005] Such oral materials are required to have a pleasant texture, be easy to digest, and have useful ingredients that are easily absorbed. However, since the residue is usually in the form of a lump, in order to meet these requirements, it is necessary to process the residue into an appropriate form, and various technologies for this purpose have been proposed.

[0006] For example, Patent Document 1 proposes a food composition made from dried apple pomace. Patent Document 2 proposes mixing and boiling the pomace and / or fruit of Shikuwasa to make a paste. Patent Document 3 proposes using plant fiber obtained from a mixture of vegetable pomace or fruit pomace and alcohol-containing residue after crushing and squeezing vegetables, fruits, and other vegetables, as a recycled food ingredient. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0007] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 61-260846 [Patent Document 2] JP 2010-161993 A [Patent Document 3] JP 2002-325547 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0008] However, each of the above-mentioned techniques has various problems when processing the residue, such as increased energy consumption, complicated work, and large equipment size, and therefore there is a demand for the proposal of new techniques.

[0009] That is, in the case of the technology shown in Patent Document 1, drying equipment and a drying process are required to dry the juice residue, and an increase in energy usage, complication of work, and an increase in the size of the equipment are unavoidable. And in the case of the technology shown in Patent Document 2, boiling equipment and a boiling process are required to boil, and an increase in energy usage, complication of work, and an increase in the size of the equipment are unavoidable. Furthermore, in the case of the technology shown in Patent Document 3, vegetables and the like are finely crushed and then the alcohol-containing residue is mixed, so in addition to the complication of work, it is expensive and the applications are limited.

[0010] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a technology for effectively utilizing the juice residue or extraction residue of natural organic matter as an oral material more cheaply, more simply, and more efficiently. [Means for solving the problem]

[0032] According to the present invention, a technique can be provided for effectively utilizing the pomace or extraction residue of natural organic matter as an oral material more cheaply, more simply, and more efficiently. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0033] In the present invention, in order to reuse natural juice residue or extraction residue, the residue is first made into a paste and then powdered to produce oral materials, and the resulting products are used to manufacture products such as oral granules, baked goods, and dressings. Specific embodiments will be described below in the order of making the residue into a paste, powdering it, and developing it into products.

[0034] [1] First embodiment In this embodiment, a paste of a material for oral administration is produced using a squeezed residue or an extracted residue of a natural organic matter containing a liquid component and a solid component.

[0035] Specifically, the squeezed residue or extraction residue of natural organic matter is wet-disintegrated, and the solid components are sized to produce a paste of oral material.

[0036] As described above, in the conventional technology, the lump residue is dried, heated, or otherwise treated beforehand, and then crushed. However, since the dried residue contains oil, molasses, and the like, the oil and molasses may ooze out during crushing, become sticky, and adhere to the walls and parts of the device. Depending on the degree of adhesion, the crusher may stop and become inoperable, so that the walls and parts of the device must be frequently cleaned even during crushing, which makes the work complicated. In addition, it is inevitable that the manufacturing cost will increase.

[0037] In addition, the pulverization process uses a high-output pulverizer such as a hammer mill or a pin mill to pulverize the material by applying strong impact and shear forces, so there is a risk of heat generation during pulverization, which may cause useful components to deteriorate. There is also a risk of pulverization beyond the desired size (over-pulverization). In addition, if the pulverization process is performed dry, there is a risk that the pulverized powder may cause a dust explosion due to an ignition source caused by impact force or static electricity.

[0038] As a specific example of the crushing process, when dried mugwort is crushed using a crusher with a rotation speed of 8000 to 12000 rpm (circumferential speed: approximately 80 to 120 m / sec), it becomes fluffy and mugwort-like. However, due to the high speed, heat generation is unavoidable, and in some cases, there is a concern of dust explosions due to ignition sources caused by strong impact forces or static electricity. In addition, excessive crushing can produce fine particles of 50 μm or less. Such fine particles have poor fluidity and are prone to secondary aggregation, which may lead to uneven coloring and spots.

[0039] In contrast, in the present embodiment, the residue is directly crushed and sized by a wet method without drying or heat treatment, so that the above-mentioned problems do not occur, and the residue can be produced more cheaply, more simply, and more efficiently as an oral material paste, which can be preferably used as an ingredient for oral granules, baked goods, and dressings, which will be described later. In particular, according to the method of the present invention, the drying step (drying equipment) can be omitted, so that energy, which accounts for the largest proportion of production costs, can be reduced, and production costs can be reduced.

[0040] That is, the crushing and sizing process is an operation of breaking down large particles to a desired size (crushing) and sizing by applying weak impact force, shear force, crushing, grinding, or friction force to the material, so it does not require a device with a large output. As a result, it is possible to suppress the generation of large heat and not cause deterioration of useful components. In addition, since there is no excessive crushing (over-crushing), it is possible to efficiently obtain crushed material that is uniform in size to the desired size, i.e., sizing.

[0041] Specific machines and devices used in the crushing and sieving process include, for example, grinders such as stone mill type crushers and granulators and crushers, and impeller type crushers (Comil), but considering the properties required for oral materials such as the aforementioned favorable texture, ease of digestion, and ease of absorption of useful ingredients, it is preferable to use a stone mill type crusher and sieve machine such as "Supermasscolloider" (manufactured by Masuko Sangyo Co., Ltd.) among these machines. In addition, the size (particle size) of the crushed and sieved residue is preferably 200 μm or less.

[0042] In other words, a stone mill type crushing and sizing machine is composed of a pair of upper and lower circular stones (grinders) with grooves engraved on the contact surface, and the raw material fed through the inlet of the upper fixed grinder moves along the contact surface of the lower rotating grinder toward the outside of the circumference, with the larger particles among the raw material particles of varying sizes being preferentially crushed by shear forces and friction forces, so that the raw material is not crushed more than necessary (over-crushed), and the material can be efficiently crushed to the desired size (particle size), preferably a particle size of 200 μm or less.

[0043] In this case, the peripheral speed of the rotating lower grinder is preferably 10 to 65 m / sec, which is slower than that of hammer mills and pin mills (peripheral speed = 80 to 120 m / sec), which have strong impact forces. By setting such a moderate peripheral speed, heat generation during crushing and granulation can be appropriately suppressed, preventing the generation of odor and deterioration of useful components that are associated with heat, and stabilizing the quality without impairing the flavor.

[0044] In the present embodiment, since the crushing and sieving are performed in a wet manner, it is possible to further suppress heat generation during the crushing and sieving and to avoid the risk of dust explosions due to the crushed and sieved material. If necessary, water may be added as needed during the crushing and sieving to adjust the hardness of the resulting oral material paste.

[0045] Some residues contain useful components with poor absorption, such as raw turmeric residues that contain curcumin as a useful component. In addition, the composition of useful components in natural organic residues may vary depending on the environment and season. For such residues, the residues are coarsely crushed prior to crushing and then immersed in an alcohol-containing solution. This makes it possible to homogenize the composition of the useful components, and also allows the useful components with poor absorption to be dissolved in the alcohol-containing solution, which is expected to improve the absorption rate of the useful components.

[0046] Specific examples of alcohol-containing solutions include alcohol-containing solutions in which pharmaceutical additives, food additives, excipients, etc. approved for use by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare are added and dissolved as thickeners in ethanol, awamori, shochu, etc., and examples of such solutions include alcohol-containing solutions in which one or more thickeners selected from hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC), hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), methylcellulose, gum arabic, sodium alginate, gelatin, dextrin, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), PVA copolymer, and xanthan gum are added and dissolved. If necessary, a food additive surfactant such as sucrose fatty acid ester or lecithin may be further added in an amount of 20% or less relative to the residue, which can be expected to further homogenize the composition by modifying the surface of the useful components and further improve the absorption rate.

[0047] The time for immersion in the alcohol-containing solution is appropriately determined depending on the content and elution rate of the useful component remaining in the residue, but is usually from 30 minutes to several months.

[0048] [2] Second embodiment In this embodiment, the oral administration material paste obtained in the first embodiment is used to produce an oral administration material powder.

[0049] Specifically, a water-absorbent dry powder and / or an oil-absorbent dry powder are added to and mixed with an oral material paste to produce an oral material powder.

[0050] By adding and mixing water-absorbent dry powder or oil-absorbent dry powder, the moisture and oil contained in the liquid oral material paste are absorbed by these dry powders and powdered, eliminating the need for drying for powderization and allowing the production of oral material powder containing the appropriate amount of moisture and oil, thereby making it possible to dispose of the residue more cheaply, more simply, and more efficiently.

[0051] In this case, if a dry powder with low water absorption or oil absorption function is used, a large amount of dry powder will be required for pulverization, which will reduce the content of useful ingredients in the resulting oral material powder and hinder effective use of the residue, so it is preferable to use a dry powder with high water absorption or oil absorption function.

[0052] In this embodiment, the amount of water-absorbent dry powder or oil-absorbent dry powder to be added may be appropriately determined taking into consideration the amount of moisture and oil contained in the oral material paste, but it is usually preferable that the amount be 20 to 90 mass % of the oral material paste, thereby making it possible to obtain an oral material powder with a moisture content and oil content of 1.0 to 5.0%, which are suitable for molding (tabletting).

[0053] Specific examples of water-absorbing dry powders and oil-absorbing dry powders that can be preferably used include pharmaceutical additives, food additives, and excipients approved for use by the Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare, such as starch, partially pregelatinized starch, crystalline cellulose, and disintegrants, and among these, crystalline cellulose is particularly preferred.

[0054] If the size (particle size) of the obtained oral material powder exceeds 200 μm, there will be problems in the texture of the final product, ease of digestion, and ease of absorption of useful ingredients, so if the oral material powder after mixing with the water-absorbing dry powder or oil-absorbing dry powder becomes clumpy particles with a size (particle size) of more than 200 μm, it is preferable to further crush and granulate it.

[0055] Specifically, by using the same mill-type crushing and sieving machine as used for producing oral material paste and crushing and sieving under appropriate operating conditions, oral material powder with a size (particle size) of approximately 180 μm and a moisture content of 1.0 to 5.0% can be obtained.

[0056] In addition, when the solid components of the residue contain oils, molasses, etc. and there is a risk that the oils or molasses will ooze out during grinding, it is preferable to add and mix additive particles with excellent water and oil absorbency to coat the surfaces of the solid components one or more times. This makes it possible to appropriately suppress the oozing of the oils and molasses and to appropriately suppress the adhesion of the oils and molasses to the walls and parts of the device.

[0057] [3] Third embodiment In this embodiment, the oral material powder obtained in the second embodiment is used as a raw material to produce oral granules, baked goods, and dressings as final products.

[0058] 1. Oral granules Oral granules in tablet form, such as oral supplements, can be obtained by adding a lubricant to the oral material powder obtained in the second embodiment, and then dry compressing (tabletting) using a tablet press.

[0059] Specific examples of the lubricant include magnesium stearate, calcium stearate, sodium stearyl fumarate, etc., and one or more selected from these are used. In addition, powdered food additive particles approved for use by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare may be added in an amount of 5 to 50% by mass relative to the oral material powder.

[0060] In this case, the size (particle size) of the oral material powder is appropriately granulated, so that oral granules that are sufficiently ensured to be easy to digest and easy to absorb useful ingredients can be provided at an inexpensive cost.

[0061] If necessary, other oral functional materials may be added to form composite oral granules.

[0062] 2. Baked goods Baked goods such as biscuits, cookies, rice crackers, and arare are made by adding the oral ingredient powder obtained in the second embodiment to ordinary confectionery ingredients, forming them, and baking them.

[0063] Specifically, powdered food additive particles approved for use by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare are added to the oral material powder obtained in the second embodiment in an amount of 5 to 50% by mass of the oral material powder, which is then molded and baked to produce a baked confectionery.

[0064] In this case, as mentioned above, the size (particle size) of the oral material powder is adjusted to 200 μm or less, so that baked goods that ensure good texture and ease of digestion can be provided at an affordable price.

[0065] 3. Dressing The dressing can be obtained by adding ordinary dressing materials such as edible oil to the oral material paste obtained in the first embodiment.

[0066] Specifically, a surfactant and / or an edible oil is added to and mixed with the oral material paste obtained in the first embodiment to produce a dressing.

[0067] As the edible oil, it is preferable to use one or more oils selected from olive oil, sesame oil, soybean oil, corn oil, and rapeseed oil, which are also used in ordinary dressings. In addition, to improve the flavor, a sweetener such as honey, an alcoholic beverage such as awamori, shochu, or brewed sake, or brewed vinegar may be added and mixed in an appropriate amount.

[0068] In this case, as mentioned above, the size (particle size) of the oral material powder is adjusted to 200 μm or less, so that a dressing that ensures a good texture and ease of digestion can be provided at an inexpensive cost. EXAMPLES

[0069] [1] Example 1 This example is an example of producing an oral material paste and an oral material powder from the juice residue of citrus fruits.

[0070] 1. Oral paste Approximately 2.7 kg of water was added to 6.0 kg of the residue after squeezing the juice from yuzu (moisture content: approximately 75% by mass), and the mixture was wet crushed and sized for 10 minutes using a stone mill type crusher and granulator (Masuko Sangyo Co., Ltd.'s "Supermasscolloider": MKZ10-20JMαIV-PH type) with the peripheral speed of the outer periphery of the lower rotating grinder set to 39.88 m / sec, to obtain 8.7 kg of oral material paste sized to a particle size of 100 μm (moisture content: approximately 82.8% by mass).

[0071] 2. Oral powder 4.8 kg of partially gelatinized starch manufactured by Asahi Chemical Co., Ltd. was added and mixed as a water-absorbent dry powder to 8.7 kg of the oral material paste obtained in 1 above, so that the moisture content was approximately 53.3% by mass. The mixture was then dried to obtain 6.7 kg of oral material powder with a moisture content of approximately 6.0%.

[0072] Since the obtained powder of oral material also contained clumped particles, it was disintegrated and sized using a disintegrator / sizing machine for 5 minutes at a lower rotating grinder peripheral speed of 47.85 m / sec, obtaining 6.7 kg of powder of oral material in the form of a free-flowing powder (moisture content: approximately 4.9% by mass) sized to a particle diameter of approximately 105 μm.

[0073] [2] Example 2 This example is an example of producing an oral material paste and an oral material powder from juice residue of turmeric (rhizome) having agglomerated particles.

[0074] 1. Oral paste 2.0 kg of turmeric (rhizome, undried) was roughly crushed (sliced) and soaked in 1000 ml of 43% awamori for 5 hours. Then, using the same stone mill type crusher and granulator as in Example 1, the peripheral speed of the outer periphery of the lower rotary grinder was set to 47.85 m / sec, and the mixture was wet crushed and granulated to obtain 2.80 kg of oral material paste granulated to a particle size of about 180 μm (water content: about 82.8% by mass).

[0075] 2.7 kg of the oral material paste obtained in 1 above was soaked in 43 degree Awamori (1000 ml) for 24 hours with 1.0 kg of dried turmeric powder that had been crushed and granulated in a separate process. The solution was then added dropwise and stirred using a stirring device called VG-25 manufactured by Powrex Corporation, and 1.7 kg of powdered hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC-SL) was then mixed / dispersed. Then, a stone mill type crushing and granulating device "Supermasscolloider" (α-IV-PH type) manufactured by Masuko Sangyo Co., Ltd. was used to obtain 6.2 kg of oral material paste with excellent texture, solubility, and tabletability with a particle size of approximately 200 μm or less, which was uniformly dispersed (crushed and granulated for 5 minutes at a lower rotating grinder peripheral speed of 47.85 m / sec, with a particle size of approximately 110 μm).

[0076] 2. Oral powder 2.0 kg of partially pregelatinized starch and 1.0 kg of powdered hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC-SL) were lightly mixed with 2.80 kg of the oral material paste obtained in 1 above. To eliminate the unevenness of the mixture, the mixture was further crushed and sized for 1 minute using a "Supermass Colloider" (registered trademark), resulting in 5.8 kg of oral material powder sized to a particle size of approximately 200 μm or less with excellent solubility and tabletability and a moisture content of approximately 4.0% by mass.

[0077] [3] Example 3 This example is another example of producing an oral material paste and an oral material powder from citrus pomace.

[0078] 1. Oral paste Approximately 2.7 kg of water was added to 6.0 kg of the slightly dumpling-like residue (moisture content: approximately 75% by mass) after squeezing the juice from the yuzu fruit, and the mixture was wet crushed and sized for 3 minutes using a stone mill type crusher and granulator (Masuko Sangyo Co., Ltd.'s "Supermasscolloider": MKZ10-20JMαIV-PH type) with the peripheral speed of the outer periphery of the lower rotating grinder set to 47.85 m / sec, to obtain 8.7 kg of oral material paste sized to a particle size of 200 μm (moisture content: approximately 82.8% by mass).

[0079] 2. Oral powder 4.8 kg of partially pregelatinized starch (PCS) manufactured by Asahi Chemical Co., Ltd. was added and mixed with 8.7 kg of the oral material paste obtained in 1 above to obtain 13.5 kg of a dry mixture, and then 6.5 kg of partially pregelatinized starch was further mixed and crushed and sized to obtain 20 kg of oral material powder with a moisture content of approximately 7.4%.

[0080] The obtained powder of oral material also contained clumped particles, so it was crushed and sized using the same crushing and sieving machine for 5 minutes at a grinder peripheral speed of 39.88 m / sec, obtaining 20 kg of a smooth oral material powder with a moisture content of about 7.4% and sized to a particle size of about 107 μm. The 20 kg of material obtained was then divided into smaller portions for use.

[0081] 1.9 kg of PVA copolymer "POVACOAT" (registered trademark) manufactured by Daido Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. was added and mixed with 6.8 kg of the obtained oral material powder, and the mixture was further crushed and sized (lower rotating grinder peripheral speed: 47.85 m / sec) for 3 minutes to obtain 8.7 kg of oral material powder sized to a particle size of approximately 200 μm or less.

[0082] 3.Final product (1) Oral Granules-1 Of the 20 kg of oral material powder obtained in step 2 above, 2.95 kg was taken out, and 0.05 kg of magnesium stearate was added as a lubricant. The mixture was then dry compressed at a pressure of 14 kN using a tablet press (model number: LEL5) manufactured by Kikusui Seisakusho Co., Ltd. to obtain granular oral granules with a hardness of 48 N.

[0083] (2) Oral Granules-2 Of the 20 kg of oral material powder obtained in 2 above, 2.95 kg was taken out, and 0.05 kg of sodium stearyl fumarate was added as a lubricant. Then, similarly to (1) above, dry tableting was carried out to obtain granular oral granules with a hardness of 50 N.

[0084] (3) Dressing Of the 8.7 kg of oral paste obtained in 1 above, 2.5 kg was taken out, and an equal amount (2.5 kg) of olive oil as oil and 0.1 kg of polysorbate 80 as a surfactant were added and mixed to obtain 5.0 kg of a dressing.

[0085] From the above examples, it has been confirmed that according to the present invention, natural juice residues and extraction residues, most of which have had to be discarded until now, can be reused more cheaply, more simply, and more efficiently and used as new ingredients for oral granules, baked goods, dressings, etc., thereby making a significant contribution to resource conservation, such as reducing waste.

[0086] Although the present invention has been described above based on the embodiment, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. Note that various modifications can be made to the above embodiment within the same and equivalent scope of the present invention.
