[0030] The solid composition is, for example, a tablet, and the arithmetic mean curvature Spc(mm) of the peaks on the surface of the tablet is defined in ISO 25178. -1 The coefficient of gravity is preferably 5.0 or less, more preferably 4.4 or less, even more preferably 4.2 or less, and even more preferably 4.0 or less. This makes the surface of the solid composition smoother to the touch. For this reason, for example, roughness in the oral cavity can be reduced when the solid composition is an oral composition. Furthermore, the above Spc(mm) of the solid composition -1 ) may be, for example, 0.1 or greater, or for example, 1.0 or greater.

This makes the surface of the solid composition smoother to the touch. For this reason, roughness in the oral cavity can be reduced, for example, when the solid composition is an oral composition. Furthermore, the Sdr of the solid composition may be, for example, 0.001 or more, or for example, 0.01 or more.
[0032] Spc(mm) of solid composition -1 ) and Sdr can be measured under the following conditions using a commercially available shape analysis laser microscope or 3D scanner (for example, Keyence's One-Shot 3D Shape Measuring Machine VR-6200). Magnification: 12x Scanning range: Within a 2.5 mm square area from the center of the sample. Measurement frequency, etc.: For each of the three samples, one measurement value was obtained, and the average of these values was used.
[0033] The color difference ΔE of the solid composition is measured by the following method 1. * ab is preferably 75 or less, more preferably 70 or less, and even more preferably 65 or less. This makes it possible to more reliably suppress discoloration during the production of the solid composition. Furthermore, the color difference ΔE of the solid composition * ab may be, for example, 25 or more, or it may also be, for example, 30 or more, or 35 or more.
[0034] (Method 1) In accordance with JIS Z 8722, measurements were taken using a spectrophotometer (e.g., SE7700, manufactured by Nippon Denshoku Industries Co., Ltd.) and CIE1976L * a * b * Lightness (L) of a solid composition defined by a color system * ), chromaticity (a * , b * ) is obtained. The color difference (△E) is obtained using the following formula (1). * Find ab). △E * ab=((L * -100) 2 +a *2 +b *2 )) 1 / 2 (1)
[0035] The measurement conditions in Method 1 are specifically as follows. In Method 1, the surface color of the solid composition is measured. Measurement wavelength: 380~780nm Measurement angle: 60° reflection measurement Measurement locations: Average value of two locations
[0036] Furthermore, the brightness (L) of the solid composition measured by Method 1 * The value of ) is preferably 22 or higher, more preferably 25 or higher, and may also be preferably 100 or lower. This can further improve the appearance of the solid composition.
[0037] Similarly, the chromaticity of the solid composition measured by Method 1 (a * ) could be, for example, -2.0 to 0.0. Similarly, the chromaticity of the solid composition measured by Method 1 (b * ) could be, for example, -2.0 to 3.0.
[0038] (Dosage form, etc.) The solid composition may be, for example, a pharmaceutical composition, a quasi-drug composition, or a food composition, and is preferably a pharmaceutical composition. This makes it possible to more reliably obtain the desired efficacy. For example, since the solid composition contains component (A), it can provide one or more effects selected from the group consisting of reducing inflammation such as stomatitis and pharyngitis, and skin whitening. Furthermore, the solid composition is preferably a composition for stomatitis, a composition for pharyngitis, or a whitening composition.
[0039] The solid composition is preferably an oral composition. This allows for excellent ease of ingestion. Similarly, the solid composition is preferably an oral composition.
[0040] The dosage form of the solid composition may be, for example, a tablet, granules, pill, powder, gummy, or jelly, and is preferably a tablet. Examples of tablets include chewable tablets, lozenges, drops, uncoated tablets, sugar-coated tablets, orally disintegrating tablets, and film-coated tablets, and are preferably selected from the group consisting of chewable tablets, lozenges, and drops. This makes it easier to take the solid composition.
[0041] Next, a method for producing the solid composition will be described. A method for producing a solid composition includes, for example, a step of heating a mixture containing component (B) and water to 120°C or higher (step 10), and a step of adding component (A) to the heated mixture and mixing it (step 20). By mixing components (A) and (B) in step 20 after step 10, the discoloration suppression effect and the improvement of appearance homogeneity during the production of the solid composition can be obtained more stably.
[0042] The amount of water added in step 10 can be, for example, 1 to 50 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of component (B).
[0043] The heating temperature in step 10 is, for example, 120°C or higher, preferably 130°C, more preferably 140°C or higher, and also preferably 180°C or lower, more preferably 160°C or lower. This makes it possible to obtain a solid composition with excellent appearance homogeneity more stably.
[0044] The mixing temperature in step 20 can be, for example, 100 to 150°C. The mixing temperature in step 20 may be lower than the heating temperature in step 10.
[0045] Furthermore, step 20 may include a step of adding a mixture of component (A) and water. This makes it possible to more stably obtain the discoloration suppression effect and the appearance homogeneity improvement effect during the production of the solid composition. The amount of water added at this time can be, for example, 50 to 800 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of component (A).
[0046] Furthermore, the method for producing the solid composition may further include, after step 20, a step (step 30) in which the mixture obtained in step 20 is poured into a mold and left to stand until it solidifies. The standing temperature in step 30 may be, for example, 20 to 40°C. A solid composition can be obtained through the above process.
[0047] (Method for preventing discoloration) In this embodiment, the discoloration suppression method is a method for suppressing discoloration of a solid composition containing component (A), and includes the steps of heating a mixture containing component (B) and water to 120°C or higher (step 10), and adding and mixing the following component (A) to the heated mixture (step 20). This makes it possible to suppress discoloration when manufacturing solid compositions containing component (A) and improve the uniformity of appearance. Furthermore, the configuration described above for the method of producing the solid composition can be used as appropriate for the method of suppressing discoloration.
[0048] (Discoloration inhibitor) In this embodiment, the discoloration inhibitor is a discoloration inhibitor for a solid composition containing component (A), and also contains component (B). As described above, by providing a discoloration inhibitor that includes component (B), it is possible to suppress discoloration during the manufacturing of the solid composition containing component (A) and improve the uniformity of its appearance.
