A xyloglucan-containing gel composition is provided in which syneresis over time within a shelf life is suppressed. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0008] The xyloglucan-containing gel composition according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises water, xyloglucan, and At least one of sugars or alcohols (hereinafter referred to as sugars and / or alcohols) In this way, xyloglucan contains sugars and / or By blending alcohols, the product is given shape retention that prevents it from losing its shape during use and storage. Here, "shape retention" refers to the ability to retain the shape of the gel using a support material (or a container for molding the gel). This means that the gel can maintain its shape by itself without the need for a support or other material (such as a carrier).

[0009] The xyloglucan is a non-ionic polysaccharide whose constituent sugars are glucose and xylose. It is a basic molecule with a main chain of glucose linked by β-1,4 bond and xylose linked as a side chain. In the present specification, the term "xyloglucan" refers to a polymer (natural ) refers to both xyloglucan and low molecular weight xyloglucan.

[0010] High molecular weight xyloglucan is a xyloglucan derived from natural products, and its molecular weight is between 50,000 and Such high molecular weight xyloglucan is found in, for example, pea, soybean, poppy, etc. It is extracted from the cell walls of higher plants such as rice, bamboo shoots, and tamarind seeds. In addition, high molecular weight xyloglucan can be obtained by extracting it from plant tissue with water. In cases where extraction with water is difficult, it can be extracted with an alkaline aqueous solution. From the viewpoint of being easily extractable, whether or not it is extractable with water, it is preferable to use alkaline water. It is preferred to extract with a solution.

[0011] The high molecular weight xyloglucan obtained by such extraction may be subjected to alcohol precipitation, if necessary. , ion exchange chromatography, and various methods that utilize differences in hydrophobicity and affinity. Further purification may be achieved by chromatography, etc.

[0012] Such xyloglucan derived from tamarind seeds (tamarind seed xyloglucan) , commercially available products (e.g., Glyloid and Glyate, manufactured by DSP Gokyo Food & Chemical Co., Ltd.) Alternatively, commercially available products may be used, such as those obtained by dissolving in water and adding ethanol to the resulting aqueous solution. It is also possible to mix alcohol, etc. to separate and precipitate xyloglucan, and then purify it further before using it. Cut.

[0013] Furthermore, high molecular weight xyloglucan can be partially decomposed into smaller molecules to make it easier to use. good.

[0014] Thus, low molecular weight xyloglucan is obtained by depolymerizing high molecular weight xyloglucan. Such low molecular weight xyloglucan can be produced by a physical method (e.g., homogenization). Chemical methods (e.g., acid hydrolysis, etc.), They can be obtained by known methods such as enzymatic decomposition, isolation and extraction from plants, and chemical synthesis. It can be obtained by law.

[0015] For example, low molecular weight xyloglucan was obtained from tamarind seed xyloglucan by enzymatic degradation. When it is possible to obtain a plant tissue-disintegrating enzyme having β-1,4-glucanase activity, The enzymatic decomposition reaction should be carried out by appropriately setting the amount of enzyme to be added, pH, temperature, and time according to the characteristics of the enzyme. can be done.

[0016] When cellulase is used as the plant tissue-disintegrating enzyme, for example, For 100 parts by weight of marinad seed xyloglucan and said tamarind seed xyloglucan 0.01 to 2.0 parts by weight of cellulase was added, and the mixture was stirred for 3 to 4 hours at a pH of 3 to 7 and a temperature of 35 to 60°C. The enzyme decomposition reaction was carried out for 96 hours. After the reaction was completed, the cellulase was inactivated and the mixture was chromatographed. By purifying the reaction product by methods such as fluorography, it is possible to obtain low molecular weight compounds with molecular weights of 5,000 or less. It is also possible to partially degrade the side chains, resulting in the production of xyloglucan derivatives. Methods (partial degradation methods) include enzymatic or chemical methods.

[0017] The xyloglucan may be either a high molecular weight xyloglucan or a low molecular weight xyloglucan. It may be either one of them or a mixture of both, and it may be xylitol derived from multiple types of plants. It may also be a mixture of loglucans.

[0018] The amount of the xyloglucan to be blended is generally based on the total amount of the xyloglucan-containing gel composition. It is usually in the range of 0.1% by weight to 15% by weight, and preferably 0.5% by weight to 10% by weight. %, more preferably 0.5% by weight to 5% by weight, and even more preferably 0.8% by weight to 3 Weight percentages. The amount of the xyloglucan-containing gel composition is less than 0.1% by weight based on the total amount of the xyloglucan-containing gel composition. On the other hand, if the weight ratio is 15 or more, the gel strength is low and it is difficult to maintain the shape. %, the viscosity of the aqueous solution becomes high before gelation after dissolving xyloglucan in water. If the thickness becomes too large, it tends to be difficult to mold the material into a desired shape. In contrast, when the amount of xyloglucan is 0.1% by weight or more, The gel strength is sufficiently high, and the viscosity of the aqueous solution is high because the content is 15% by weight or less. This can prevent the material from becoming too thick, making it easier to mold it into a desired shape.

[0019] The saccharide can enhance the gelling ability of the xyloglucan aqueous solution. As long as it is possible to enhance the gelling ability in this way, there is no particular limitation. For example, triose (three carbon sugars, e.g., glyceryl aldehyde, dihydroxyacetone t, etc.), tetrose (four-carbon sugar, e.g., erythrose, threose, erythrulose, etc. ), pentose (five-carbon sugars, e.g., ribose, lyxose, xylose, arabinose, abiose, ribulose, xylulose, etc.), hexose (six-carbon sugars, e.g., glucose (glucose), mannose, galactose, idose, fructose, sob aldose type such as heptose (seven carbon sugars, sedoheptulose, coriose, etc.); Monosaccharides of the maltose type, disaccharides such as sucrose, maltose, trehalose, and cellobiose, Highly water-soluble trisaccharides such as trisaccharides, oligosaccharides such as galactooligosaccharides, and dextrin Molecular decomposition products, sugar alcohols such as xylitol, sorbitol, mannitol, and erythritol The sugar may be one or more selected from these. A mixture of the above may also be used. Among these, the saccharide is at least one selected from the group consisting of monosaccharides and oligosaccharides. It is preferred to contain one or two species.

[0020] The alcohols can enhance the gelling ability of the xyloglucan aqueous solution. Alcohols include alcohol and alcohol derivatives. There are no particular limitations on the type of gelling agent as long as it is possible to increase the gelling ability. The alcohols include monohydric alcohols (e.g., methanol, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, etc.). propanol, etc.), dihydric alcohols (e.g., propylene glycol, butylene glycol , pentanediol, etc.), trihydric alcohols (e.g., glycerin, trimethylolpropane, etc.), propane, etc.), tetrahydric alcohols (e.g., diglycerin, 1,2,6-hexanetriol, pentaerythritol, etc.), polyhydric alcohol polymers (e.g., dipropylene glycol, (e.g., triethylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, polyglycerin, etc.), polyhydric alkoxy The alcohol may be one selected from the above. It may be a single type or a mixture of two or more types. The polyhydric alcohol derivatives include alkylene oxide addition copolymers of dihydric to tetrahydric alcohols. As the alkylene oxide to be subjected to addition polymerization, ethylene oxide is preferably used. ethylene oxide (EO), propylene oxide (PO), butylene oxide (BO), etc. . Specifically, for example, the alkylene oxide addition polymer of the dihydric to tetrahydric alcohols is PPG-40 butyl (i.e., POP(40) butyl ether) (commercially available as "Yu Nilube MB-370, etc.), PPG-30 Butes-30 [i.e., POE(30) · POP(30) butyl ether (commercially available as "Unilube 50MB-72", etc.), P PG-16 glyceryl ether (commercially available products include "Uniol TG-1000"), PP G-24 glyceryl-24 (commercially available products include "Unilube 50TG-32"), PPG- 25-polyethylene glycol-25 trimethylolpropane (commercially known as "Unilu" 43TT-2500, etc.), PPG-14 diglyceryl (Unilube DGP-950 ", etc.), PEG-5-PPG-65 pentaerythrityl ("Unilube 5TP-300K B" etc.) (all manufactured by NOF Corp.). Here, PPG is polypropylene glycol, POP is polyoxypropylene, and POE represents polyoxyethylene, and PEG represents polyethylene glycol. Sugar alcohols, which are a type of polyhydric alcohol, also function as the sugar. It also functions as an alcohol, and preferred are pentahydric or hexahydric alcohols such as sorbitol and mannitol. Derivatives of these sugar alcohols include alkyl groups of sugar alcohols. As the alkylene oxide to be added, an alkylene oxide addition polymer is preferably used. Examples include EO, PO, and BO. Specifically, POP sorbitol (commercially available as "Uniol HS-1600D" (NOF Corp.) (Ltd.), POE(10) methyl glucoside (commercially available as "Glucam E-10" (manufactured by Lubrizol Japan Co., Ltd.), POP(20) methyl glucoside (commercially available "Glucam P-20" (manufactured by Lubrizol Japan, Ltd.), etc. Such sugar alcohols also function as the sugars, but in this specification, It is included in the above alcoholic beverages.

[0021] Among the above, the alcohols are lower alcohols, polyhydric alcohols, and sugar alcohols. It is preferable that the compound contains at least one or more selected from the group consisting of: The alcohols are preferably butylene glycol, glycerin, or various methyl glucosides. It is nice.

[0022] The amount of at least one of the sugars or alcohols is not particularly limited. The sugars, alcohols, water-soluble polymers (described below), cleaning ingredients, and other moisturizing agents used in combination The amount of the xyloglucan-containing composition is appropriately determined in consideration of the type and amount of the composition, the degree of gelation of the composition, etc. can be determined. For example, the amount of the sugar to be blended is about 100% based on the total amount of the xyloglucan-containing gel composition. Alternatively, the total amount of at least one of the alcohols is preferably 5% by weight to 70% by weight. More preferably, the content is 10% by weight to 60% by weight, and even more preferably, the content is 10% by weight to 50% by weight. It may be set to be 0% by weight. The amount of the xyloglucan-containing gel composition is less than 5% by weight based on the total amount of the xyloglucan-containing gel composition. On the other hand, when the content is 70% by weight, the gel strength is low and it tends to be difficult to maintain the shape. Above this value, the solubility of xyloglucan in water is significantly reduced, resulting in the The leucane tends to precipitate, making it difficult to obtain a uniform gel composition. In contrast, when the blending amount is 5% by weight or more, the advantage of high shape retention is obtained. By making the content 70% by weight or less, separation of water over time is reduced.

[0023] The weight percent of the water is determined by the weight percent of the xyloglucan, sugars and / or alcohols, and optionally The amount is the amount remaining after subtracting the total amount of other ingredients contained in the product from 100%, and is not limited to any particular amount. The weight percent of water is appropriately set depending on these components, for example, from 15 to 15% by weight. It can be set to 95% by weight, and is preferably set to 20 to 90% by weight.

[0024] The xyloglucan-containing gel composition further contains a water-soluble polymer in addition to the above. By doing so, it is possible to enhance the shape retention of the gel composition, and it is also possible to prevent the gel composition from deteriorating over time. Therefore, the amount of solution that is separated from the water can be significantly reduced.

[0025] Water-soluble polymers include polymers of sugars, amino acids, acrylic acids, etc., or their derivatives. Organic polymers and inorganic polymers such as colloidal hydrated aluminum silicate that are hydrated with water The term "hydratable substance" refers to a substance that can be hydrated with water in this way, and is not particularly limited. Examples of the water-soluble polymer include a plant-derived polymer, a microbial-derived polymer, and an animal-derived polymer. molecules, synthetic / semi-synthetic polymers, etc. Examples of the plant-based polymer include gum arabic, gum tragacanth, galactan, Guar gum, carob gum, karaya gum, carrageenan, pectin, agar, quince (quince), algae colloid (cassow extract), starch (rice, corn , potato, wheat), glucomannan, etc. Examples of microbial polymers include xanthan gum, gellan gum, curdlan, and dextran. Examples of such sugars include sucrose, succinoglucan, pullulan, and sodium polyglutamate. Examples of animal polymers include gelatin and hyaluronic acid. The semi-synthetic water-soluble polymer may be, for example, a starch-based polymer (e.g., carboxy methyl starch, methyl hydroxypropyl starch, etc.), cellulose polymers (methyl Cellulose, ethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, hydroxyethyl Cellulose, Sodium Cellulose Sulfate, Hydroxypropyl Cellulose, Carboxy Methylcellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, cationic cellulose, crystalline cellulose, cellulose powder, etc.), alginic acid polymers (e.g., sodium alginate , propylene glycol alginate, etc.). Examples of synthetic water-soluble polymers include vinyl polymers (e.g., carboxyvinyl polymers). Polymer (Carbomer), Polyvinyl alcohol, Polyvinyl methyl ether, Polyvinyl pyrrolidone, etc.), polyoxyethylene polymers (e.g., polyethylene glycol 20, Polyoxyethylene polyoxypropylene copolymer of 000, 40,000, and 60,000 acrylic polymers (e.g., polyacrylic acid, polyethyl acrylate, polya acrylamide, polyethyleneimine, cationic polymers, etc. The amount of the water-soluble polymer to be blended depends on the xyloglucan concentration (amount blended), the sugar to be used in combination, and the polyvalent The type and concentration of alcohol, and the type and concentration of optional ingredients such as cleaning agents and moisturizers For example, the blending amount is not particularly limited. The weight ratio of xyloglucan to water-soluble polymer is xyloglucan:water-soluble polymer=1:10 It is preferably ∼50:1. If the weight ratio is outside the above range, the effect of enhancing the shape retention of the xyloglucan-containing gel composition and the gelling effect are not obtained. The effect of suppressing water separation from the oleaginous composition over time tends to be less pronounced, and the viscosity of the aqueous solution tends to increase. If the temperature becomes too high, it tends to be difficult to mold the material into a desired shape. On the other hand, when the weight ratio of xyloglucan to water-soluble polymer is 1:10 to 50:1, The effect of enhancing the shape retention of gel compositions containing syroglucan and the effect of preventing the release of syroglucan from the gel compositions over time The effect of suppressing water is easily achieved, the viscosity of the aqueous solution does not become too high, and the desired shape is formed. Easier to shape. Taking these points into consideration, a more preferable range is xyloglucan:water-soluble polymer=1: The ratio is 2~20:1. A preferred water-soluble polymer is sodium alginate, which is a component that is relatively easily soluble in water. sodium, xanthan gum, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, sodium polyacrylate Examples of the polymerizable compound include cellulose acetate, carboxyvinyl polymer, and cationic cellulose.
