Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention allows the protein to be rapidly and efficiently absorbed into the body, strengthening the tendons and muscles of various muscles and joints throughout the body, including the muscles of chewing. Stockpiling at evacuation facilities in the event of a disaster This relates to foods that efficiently absorb protein. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, as we approach the era of 100-year life spans, it has become important to ensure that healthy life expectancies are as close to that age as possible. However, in reality, from the age of 60 or 70, occlusal function often declines due to periodontal disease, alveolar pyorrhea, neglected cavities, and thinning gums. The function of the masticatory muscles, which consist of the masseter, temporalis, lateral pterygoid, and medial pterygoid muscles, declines due to disuse atrophy.

[0003] This causes a gradual decrease in the frequency with which meat that requires a certain amount of biting force is eaten, making it difficult to maintain muscle tone throughout the body without atrophy, and gradually reducing the amount of collagen absorbed from the digestive system, which is essential for smooth joint movement.

[0004] If this condition continues, the function of the masseteric muscles will deteriorate further, causing a drastic decrease in the amount of protein absorbed by the body, leading to the development of frailty and sarcopenia.

[0005] Once a person has frailty or sarcopenia, as mentioned above, combined with the decline in function of the masticatory muscles, it becomes more difficult to efficiently absorb protein from food as one ages, causing the frailty or sarcopenia to rapidly worsen.

[0006] Therefore, as mentioned above, even though we are living in an era in which we can expect to live to 100 years old, people will not be able to live active lives in the latter half of their lives, and will be so-called bedridden, that they will be limited to liquid foods such as extremely softened vegetable soups that do not require chewing strength, or foods made from ingredients such as softened noodles, which are almost like liquid foods, and as people age, they will end up living in an extremely dull second half of their lives.

[0007] Therefore, even in old age, it is important to always take in a sufficient amount of protein to prevent muscle atrophy and to prevent a decrease in muscle mass. For this reason, it is important to eat meat every day that contains sufficient protein, which is the most effective protein for creating muscle cells, and it is particularly important to restore the function of the masticatory muscles to the point where the bite force returns to its original level, even in elderly people whose bite force has once decreased.

[0008] In addition, there are already several foods known that can be ingested as nutrition even when a person's bite force is reduced and swallowing difficulties occur (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2). [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 6472920 [Patent Document 2] JP 2018-134034 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0009] The above-mentioned Cited Document 1 discloses a food product produced by adding egg white, salt and oil to ground livestock meat, mixing while cooling to obtain a paste-like mixture, pouring the paste-like mixture into a mold, further pouring it into a vacuum packaging bag to degas it, vacuum-packing it, heating the vacuum-packed paste-like mixture until the core temperature of the paste-like mixture reaches 80 to 85°C to obtain a molded heat-processed product, and rapidly cooling after heating to reduce the core temperature of the molded heat-processed product to 4°C or below.

[0010] However, the food disclosed in the cited document 1 contains ingredients other than meat to efficiently ingest protein and build new muscle, and these extra ingredients hinder efficient absorption of protein. In other words, since it contains not only meat but also eggs, it is not thought that it will have the effect of quickly absorbing protein.

[0011] Furthermore, the above-mentioned cited document 2 discloses a process for producing a processed dried sweet potato product by a heating and pressurizing process in which the dried sweet potato is heated and pressurized at the same time. It also discloses that a process for cutting the dried sweet potato may be provided before the heating and pressurizing process, and a process for crushing the dried sweet potato may be provided after the heating and pressurizing process.

[0012] However, the food disclosed in Reference 2 is made from finely chopped potatoes, and ingesting it will only convert starch into sugar in the body, making it impossible to build muscle; it is therefore impossible to prevent or improve the decline in chewing function or prevent or improve frailty or sarcopenia.

[0013] In other words, potatoes themselves are starch and completely different from protein, and not only do they contribute nothing to the prevention or improvement of oral frailty, but the starch in potatoes turns into carbohydrates, which can actually raise blood sugar levels and cause elderly people to absorb excess energy and sugar, which is thought to be undesirable.

[0014] In relation to the above explanation, we will explain how important it is to efficiently consume protein in the daily diet, regardless of age. The amount of muscle and other tissues synthesized and broken down each day varies depending on age and weight. However, for example, an adult weighing 60 kg uses approximately 180 g of protein per day for muscle synthesis and breakdown. Of this daily 180 g, the remaining 100 g is reused from amino acids stored in the body, and the remaining 80 g is said to be ingested from food.

[0015] For these reasons, the daily protein requirement for an adult without special training is about 1g per kg of body weight. Therefore, elderly people need about 1.2g of protein per kg of body weight because their digestive and absorptive abilities have decreased due to their age. In other words, elderly people need to consume a palm-sized amount of protein per meal as a guideline.

[0016] The object of the present invention is to provide a method for the rapid and efficient absorption of protein into the body, which can strengthen the tendons and muscles of various muscles and joints throughout the body, including the muscles of mastication. Stockpiling at evacuation facilities in the event of a disaster To provide a food product that allows efficient absorption of protein. [Means for solving the problem]

[0017] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device according to claim 1. For stockpiling at evacuation facilities in the event of a disaster The method for producing foods that efficiently absorb protein is as follows: The meat and tendons used as ingredients for gibier dishes, such as bear meat, wild boar meat, and venison, are used as raw materials, as they are animals that are targeted for extermination because they invade people's residential areas and threaten their safe and peaceful lives. A method for producing efficiently absorbable protein foods to be stored in evacuation facilities in the event of a disaster, A process for grinding cooked meat and cooked edible tendons, either separately or in combination, without the addition of seasonings. the law of nature a first step of producing a quantity of a mixture of comminuted meat pieces and comminuted tendons, the quantity being comminuted into small pieces, at least to the extent that the pieces can be swallowed by a person without chewing and do not cause lodging in the throat or esophagus; The method includes a second step of sealing and packing the mixture of ground meat pieces and ground tendons into a can. Stockpiling at evacuation facilities in the event of a disaster A method for producing a food product for efficient protein absorption, comprising the steps of: The mixture of the ground meat pieces and ground tendons is sealed and packed in the container in such a manner that the mixture can be taken out in a desired amount by a food serving dish when the container is open, The container is characterized in that it is sterilized at high temperature while the mixed mass of the crushed meat pieces and crushed tendons is sealed and packed therein, thereby enabling long-term storage.

[0018] In addition, the present invention relates to a method for producing a Stockpiling at evacuation facilities in the event of a disaster Foods that are good for efficient protein absorption include: The present invention is characterized in that, instead of sealingly packing only the comminuted meat pieces in the packing container, the comminuted meat pieces are mixed with gelatin and sealedly packed in the packing container. Effect of the Invention

[0020] According to the present invention, protein can be rapidly and efficiently absorbed into the body, strengthening the tendons and muscles of various muscles and joints throughout the body, including the muscles of chewing. Stockpiling at evacuation facilities in the event of a disaster It is possible to provide foods that allow efficient absorption of protein. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0021] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a process diagram clearly illustrating the basic manufacturing process of each embodiment of the protein-efficient absorption food product for storage in evacuation facilities in the event of a disaster according to the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0022] Before describing the specific embodiments and modifications, the basic form that constitutes the gist of the present invention will be described first. In other words, it should be noted that each component of the basic form corresponds to each of the specific embodiments and modifications that will be described thereafter.

[0023] Constituting the first basic form The present invention relates to a method for storing supplies at evacuation facilities in the event of a disaster. Foods that efficiently absorb protein (In the following, we will simplify the terminology by using the term "foods that efficiently absorb protein.")The device comprises a certain amount of comminuted meat, which is prepared by comminuted cooked meat into small pieces that will not get stuck in the throat or esophagus even if a person swallows it without chewing, and a filled container in which the comminuted meat is sealed and filled, the comminuted meat being packed so that a desired amount can be taken out using utensils for putting food into the mouth (utensils for putting food into the mouth during meals, such as spoons, chopsticks, forks, etc.) when the filled container is open, and the filled container is sterilized at high temperature while the comminuted meat is sealed and filled, allowing it to be stored for a long period of time.

[0024] In addition, the food product for efficient protein absorption constituting the second basic form is characterized in that, in the food product for efficient protein absorption constituting the first basic form, instead of sealingly packing the comminuted meat pieces alone in the filling container, the comminuted meat pieces are mixed with gelatin and sealedly packed in the filling container.

[0025] In addition, the food for efficient protein absorption constituting the third basic form is characterized in that, in the food for efficient protein absorption constituting the first basic form, instead of sealingly packing the comminuted meat pieces alone in the filling container, the comminuted meat pieces are mixed with starch and sealedly packed in the filling container.

[0026] Incidentally, the type of meat to be cooked in the above-mentioned first to third basic forms will be described in detail below, but for the time being, it is basically beef, and lean or non-fatty parts are most preferable, but meat other than beef, such as pork, mutton, chicken, horse meat, etc., may also be used. Furthermore, the use of meat rich in protein, such as bear meat, wild boar meat, venison, and goat meat, is also included in the forms of the present invention.

[0027] In this case, it is better to use lean or low-fat parts, as with beef. Also, the above types of meat may be mixed and crushed into small pieces, or these meats may be crushed separately into small pieces and then mixed together.

[0028] In addition, one preferred embodiment is to effectively utilize all of the juices produced when grinding cooked meat, without discarding them, and to include them in the small pieces of meat. In addition, at the same time as grinding cooked meat into small pieces, the tendons at both ends of the meat are cooked and ground into small pieces, and then the small pieces of meat are mixed together, which is another very useful modified embodiment that will be described in detail later.

[0029] Even in this case, the cooked meat itself and the tendons at both ends of the cooked meat may be ground together at the same time before being ground into small pieces, or the process of grinding the uncooked meat into small pieces and the process of grinding the uncooked tendons into small pieces may be carried out separately, and the small pieces of meat and tendons may be mixed together after the other processes.

[0030] Either method can efficiently produce a mass in which the so-called hybrid of meat and tendon is mixed. In this case, the tendon and meat used may be of the same type, for example beef, or a combination of different types of meat and tendon, such as beef for the meat and bear or boar for the tendon, may be used.

[0031] Hereinafter, each embodiment of the food for efficient protein absorption according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The present invention also describes a method for producing a food for efficient protein absorption using meat crushed into small pieces after cooking, and the main purpose is to prevent frailty and sarcopenia and prevent or improve the progression of the disease after its onset, in addition to enabling elderly people with reduced masticatory ability or elderly people with a tendency to have a masticatory disorder to efficiently absorb a sufficient amount of protein every day and recover the function of the masticatory muscles.

[0032] Therefore, since it is important to actively consume the food according to the present invention, a suitable seasoning for enhancing the flavor to enhance appetite may be added at the stage of cooking the meat before crushing it into small pieces as in the first embodiment, or after crushing the meat into small pieces after cooking, or after mixing gelatin and stirring the meat crushed into small pieces as in the second embodiment. Also, a suitable seasoning for enhancing the flavor to enhance appetite may be added after mixing starch and stirring the meat crushed into small pieces as in the third embodiment. Of course, it is also possible to provide a food for efficient protein absorption produced by crushing the meat into small pieces after cooking without adding these seasonings, and people who eat it may use seasonings as needed.

[0033] First, the efficient protein absorption food according to the first embodiment will be described. Figure 1 is a process diagram clearly showing the basic manufacturing process of each embodiment of the efficient protein absorption food according to the present invention, and the first embodiment is manufactured according to the flow process diagram on the left side of this Figure 1 (see process P1 showing the manufacturing process of the first embodiment in Figure 1).

[0034] The protein-efficient food product according to the first embodiment of the present invention has a form in which cooked meat is crushed into small pieces and packed into a can, which is then sealed and heated at high temperature to sterilize the entire contents of the can in the form of small pieces of meat, enabling it to be stored for a long period of time.

[0035] Preferred examples of meat used in this embodiment include so-called mammalian edible meat such as beef, pork, lamb, and horse meat, which are rich in protein and rapidly digested and absorbed in the body, and serve as the source of muscle and collagen fibers throughout the body through amino acids, as well as chicken meat.

[0036] These meats are cooked to a level suitable for people with normal chewing ability, and then seasonings are added to improve the taste and flavor as necessary. For example, beef is cooked into a so-called steak meat having a certain size, so that a person with normal chewing ability can chew and swallow the meat as it is. Pork, mutton, chicken, and horse meat are also cooked into a certain size so that a person with normal chewing ability can chew and swallow the meat as it is.

[0037] The protein-efficiently absorbing food according to this embodiment is prepared by crushing the meat chunks into small pieces using a grinder such as a mill mixer, packing them into a can, and sterilizing the whole can at high temperature, thereby sterilizing the whole of the small pieces of meat packed in the can. This allows the protein-efficiently absorbing food in the canned form to be stored for a long time.

[0038] The size of each piece of ground meat is smaller than that of a normal meal when a chunk of meat is put in the mouth and chewed into small pieces. Specifically, all of the ground meat is within the range of about 1 mm, about 2 mm, or about 3 mm. In other words, all of the ground meat is uniform in size, on average, as the very small pieces of meat described above.

[0039] In this way, the small pieces of meat in this embodiment are crushed in the crushing process until they are much smaller than the size that would normally be chewed in the mouth and swallowed, so that the surface of each small piece of meat becomes dry and the inside contains the meat juices from cooking the uncrushed meat chunk.

[0040] Since each small piece of meat is made up of such extremely fine pieces of meat, when the can of this embodiment is opened and these small pieces of meat are placed in the mouth as they are, the surface of the meat pieces mix with saliva in the mouth, and all of the small pieces of meat held in the mouth become a viscous, fluidized state known as a slurry, and unlike when eating regular meat, they flow through the esophagus into the digestive organs without chewing.

[0041] In recent years, with the rapid development of medical technology, the age of super-aging, where people can live to 100 years, is becoming a reality. However, not all elderly people can maintain healthy gums until they reach 100 years of age. The reality is that it is difficult to maintain healthy teeth until that age due to tooth decay, periodontitis, maintenance of teeth and gums, eating too many sweets, neglecting to brush your teeth and causing tooth decay to progress rapidly, or neglecting regular gum care and causing periodontitis to progress.

[0042] Therefore, as tooth decay or periodontitis progresses, the tooth root and periodontal ligament become damaged and become unstable, eventually progressing to the point where the originally healthy tooth is no longer able to fulfill its function.

[0043] When chewing ability declines suddenly in this way, for example, meat, which contains significantly more protein than other food ingredients, an extremely important ingestible component even in old age, and which can be efficiently absorbed by the body, cannot be chewed sufficiently due to the decline in chewing ability, making it difficult to chew such meat and the proteins contained therein finely in the mouth and take them into the digestive organs.However, according to the present invention, as described above, small pieces of meat mix with saliva and become a thick, fluid slurry that flows into the digestive organs.

[0044] This allows elderly people who have significantly reduced muscle strength in the masseter, temporalis, medial pterygoid, and lateral pterygoid muscles, which generate chewing force, due to oral frailty to efficiently absorb the necessary and sufficient protein from their digestive organs in the form of small pieces of meat that are finer than those that are chewed normally.

[0045] Thus, according to the present invention, by crushing meat into small pieces, when put into the mouth, the pieces mix with saliva and dissolve, forming a thick slurry, which has the extremely advantageous effect of safely and reliably delivering the protein needed for one meal to the digestive organs without clogging the esophagus.

[0046] Furthermore, by eating the food for efficient protein absorption according to this embodiment every morning, the meat is originally cut into small pieces, which are much smaller than pieces of meat that are normally chewed and swallowed, and the surface area of ​​the meat that enters the digestive organs is accordingly larger. This allows the protein contained in the meat to be efficiently absorbed by the digestive organs, such as the small intestine, and prevents the loss of collagen fibers, which are essential for building new muscles throughout the body and for smoothly bending and stretching joints.

[0047] In addition, the amino acid tryptophan contained in meat is converted into serotonin and melatonin in the body. Absorbing serotonin sufficiently in the body can relieve stress, and melatonin can regulate the body clock, improving both the physical and mental condition.

[0048] That is, by eating the efficient protein absorption food of this embodiment at breakfast every day, one can efficiently ingest protein, which can be expected to have effects such as resetting one's biological clock, preventing muscle breakdown, dieting, and even improving sleep quality and concentration. In addition, ingesting protein at breakfast from the efficient protein absorption food of this embodiment also works to raise body temperature, making it possible to spend an active day.

[0049] Muscles are constantly decomposed and synthesized. Therefore, if you do not consume protein at breakfast, the protein required for muscle synthesis will be insufficient, causing the muscles to shrink and becoming frail. Therefore, by eating the food product of the present invention that efficiently absorbs protein, you can efficiently consume protein and synthesize muscles, and prevent the decrease of collagen fiber tissue, which is essential for smooth joint movement.

[0050] As described above, by eating the protein-efficient absorption food of the present invention for breakfast or lunch, one can take in a sufficient amount evenly at breakfast or lunch, when protein is generally insufficient, and this can have a positive effect on maintaining collagen, which is essential for the synthesis of various muscles throughout the body and the smooth movement of joints.

[0051] In addition, by eating the food for efficient protein absorption according to the present invention for breakfast or lunch, you can take in enough protein and ensure that tryptophan is absorbed throughout your body. It can have a positive effect on muscles, sleep and psychology.

[0052] Furthermore, the protein-efficient absorption food of the present invention is not in the form of a pouch like the food described in Patent Document 1, but is in the form of a solid can, and is sterilized at high temperature while still in the can. Therefore, it can be stored for long periods in any environment, and it can be prevented from bursting due to unexpected external force, causing the contents to spill out and becoming unusable, a phenomenon that is likely to occur when the contents are sealed in the form of a pouch like the food described in Patent Document 1.

[0053] A meat processing form similar to that of the present invention is to make minced meat from a block of meat. Minced meat is usually processed with a meat grinder. Specifically, a block of meat is crushed and continuously extruded into a long and thin shape using the meat grinder. Therefore, the minced meat is different from the form of the present invention in which the meat is cut into small pieces independently using a mixer such as a mill mixer or an equivalent cutter, that is, the meat that has been cooked is crushed into small pieces independently.

[0054] In addition, minced meat is generally much larger (thicker) than the small pieces of meat of the present invention, generally about 5 mm in diameter, and is formed in a continuous state. This continuous state of minced meat is then heated and cooked to produce foods such as hamburger steaks and croquettes.

[0055] In other words, the meat grinder is a food processing device for processing meat before cooking into long and thin pieces, which is essentially different from the present invention, which grinds a lump of meat after cooking into small pieces. In addition, minced meat is merely a raw material for meat before cooking. Specifically, when cooking it into a hamburger, for example, not only minced meat but also breadcrumbs and other binders are required, and it is necessary to chew it and break it into pieces in the mouth and send it to the digestive organs.

[0056] This not only makes it difficult for elderly people with extremely reduced chewing ability to swallow, but also poses the risk of food getting stuck in the throat. However, with the protein-efficient absorption food product according to the first embodiment, the very fine pieces of meat mix with saliva to form a slurry, which then naturally flows into the digestive tract, so this risk can be avoided.

[0057] In addition, because minced meat has a high specific gravity and is heavy, it settles when mixed into soup, etc., and when trying to consume the minced meat with soup, the settled minced meat remains in the soup bowl, often making it impossible to eat the desired amount.

[0058] However, according to the first embodiment of the food for efficient protein absorption, each of the very fine pieces of meat has sufficient buoyancy to be constantly stirred throughout the liquid, such as soup, so that the meat, which is the most important food made of protein, does not settle to the bottom of the soup bowl and remains there. This allows you to eat all of the meat, crushed into small pieces, without leaving any behind.

[0059] Next, the second embodiment of the present invention will be described. Note that the description of the first embodiment will be used for the components equivalent to those of the first embodiment, and the description will be omitted. Specifically, the second embodiment is similar to the first embodiment in that the edible meat block specifically exemplified in the first embodiment is cooked and the cooked meat block is pulverized using a pulverizer such as a mill mixer, and the meat is processed into small pieces of the same size as in the first embodiment.

[0060] In addition, mixing the small pieces of meat with the gelatin that appears in the second embodiment is a process unique to the second embodiment, but thereafter filling this mixture into a can, sealing it, and heating the can at high temperature to simultaneously heat and sterilize the mixture of small pieces of meat and gelatin inside the can is a process equivalent to that of the first embodiment.

[0061] As described above, FIG. 1 is a process diagram clearly illustrating the basic manufacturing steps of each embodiment of the food product for efficient protein absorption according to the present invention, and the second embodiment is manufactured according to the flow process diagram in the middle of FIG. 1 (see process P2 showing the manufacturing process of the second embodiment in FIG. 1).

[0062] The protein efficient absorption food according to the second embodiment of the present invention has a form in which, instead of being filled with small pieces of crushed meat as in the protein efficient absorption food according to the first embodiment, a mixture of crushed small pieces of meat and gelatin is filled.

[0063] According to the second embodiment of the food product for efficient protein absorption, in addition to producing the same effects as those of the present invention described in the first embodiment, the food product can also exhibit the following further effects.

[0064] Specifically, by thoroughly mixing the crushed small pieces of meat and gelatin and filling them into a can, when the sealed, heat-sterilized can is opened and the contents are poured into a cup and heated, for example, in a microwave oven, the gelled gelatin liquefies and becomes a soup-like substance containing a sufficient amount of small pieces of meat, allowing the user to ingest a necessary and sufficient amount of protein in the same way as swallowing soup from a cup without chewing food. In addition, since the heated soup-like substance has a certain degree of warmth, eating it can warm the body and reduce the burden on the digestive organs.

[0065] Next, the third embodiment of the present invention will be described. Note that the explanation of the components equivalent to those of the first and second embodiments will be omitted by diverting the explanation of these embodiments. Specifically, the third embodiment is similar to the first and second embodiments in that the edible chunk of meat specifically exemplified in the third embodiment is cooked and the cooked chunk of meat is pulverized using a pulverizer such as a mill mixer, and the meat is processed into small pieces of the same size as those of the first and second embodiments.

[0066] Furthermore, mixing the small pieces of meat with the starch that appears in the third embodiment is a process unique to the third embodiment, but then filling this mixture into a can, sealing it, and heating the can at high temperature to simultaneously heat and sterilize the mixture of small pieces of meat and starch inside the can is a process equivalent to the first and second embodiments.

[0067] As described above, FIG. 1 is a process diagram clearly illustrating the basic manufacturing steps of each embodiment of the food product for efficient protein absorption according to the present invention, and the third embodiment is manufactured according to the flow process diagram on the right side of FIG. 1 (see process P3 in FIG. 1, which shows the manufacturing steps of the third embodiment).

[0068] The food product for efficient protein absorption according to the third embodiment of the present invention has a form in which, instead of being filled with small pieces of crushed meat, a mixture of small pieces of crushed meat and starch is filled.

[0069] More specifically, in the third embodiment, as described above, in step 4, instead of mixing gelatin with the meat ground into small pieces in step 3, thoroughly stirring, and then filling into cans to form the product, meat starch ground into small pieces is mixed and thoroughly stirred before being filled into cans to form the product.

[0070] By forming the can in this way, the starch will acquire a certain degree of hardness when the can is opened, the contents transferred to a small plate, for example, and heated in a microwave oven, etc. As a result, the food itself becomes a soft rice cake-like or breaded meat croquette-like food containing a mixture of finely cut meat and starch, which contains the necessary and sufficient amount of protein to be ingested in one meal, and can be eaten with a sufficient chewing sensation even if the chewing function is somewhat impaired.

[0071] In addition, by adjusting the amount of food removed from the can, the size of the softened and solidified food after heating can be freely changed; it is possible to make the food the size of a meatball, skewer several of these meatballs to form a yakitori-like shape, or heat them all together to grow them to the size of a croquette without a coating.

[0072] As a result, the protein-efficient absorption food product of the third embodiment can be provided in a variety of different forms to, for example, elderly people who eat it, so that the elderly people can enjoy their meals by catering to their individual preferences and by changing the form of the food each time it is served.

[0073] Below is a list of the unique benefits of the protein-efficient absorption food of this invention, namely, the advantages of the present invention in which grilled meat is crushed into small pieces using a grinder such as a mill mixer and packaged in canned form, as claimed by the inventor of the present invention. (1) There is no need to grill meat. This means that meat can be eaten immediately when you feel like eating it, and it saves more than 10 minutes compared to the time required to cook meat. Also, when meat is grilled, it is difficult to clean up afterwards, as it stains the walls, floors, and ventilation fans of the room, and the cooking utensils. However, since the meat is in the form of a can and is already cooked, this kind of trouble is eliminated. (2) Since it is already cooked, you can eat it whenever you want. (3) Even people with oral frailty can easily eat the meat because it is ground. (4) Liquid food is easy to swallow, not only for the elderly but also for infants and young children, allowing them to consume a lot of protein, which is nutritionally advantageous. (5) In particular, the second embodiment has the advantage that it is easy to swallow for people with swallowing disorders because it is in a jelly form. (6) Protein is necessary to prevent sarcopenia, and since the meat is crushed into small pieces, it is easy to process and make into a soup-like substance, allowing for efficient protein intake. (7) By mixing it with starch such as kuzu starch, it can be processed into a solid form, and can be cooked as a solid meat dish, making it possible to create a sensation similar to that of eating a regular meat dish. (8) With fresh meat, there is a risk of bacterial infection unless hygienic conditions are strictly controlled during cooking. However, with the present invention, the canned meat is not heat sterilized after being canned, so there is no risk of hygienic risk such as bacterial infection. (9) Since it can be stored for a long period of time, it can also be stored and used as an emergency food in the event of a disaster. (10) It is easy to supply protein in emergencies such as earthquakes. (11) It has the advantage of being easy to carry as a food ingredient when camping outdoors. (12) Since the product is in a can, the appearance is solid, so there is no need to worry about staining the table or other surfaces when taking the product out of a can.

[0074] In addition to the above, in this age where we are living to 100 years old, the retirement age for employees is also tending to be extended from the 60s to the 70s, and lifestyles are changing so that even at this age, people finish breakfast early before going to work. As a result, there are cases where people cannot spare enough time for breakfast, so the present invention is extremely excellent not only for maintaining physical condition, but also for preventing the occurrence and progression of frailty and sarcopenia, which are more likely to occur with age.

[0075] Specifically, by opening a can of the efficient protein absorption food of the present invention, a sufficient amount of protein can be easily ingested at breakfast in a short time. That is, it takes a considerable amount of time and effort to take in protein at breakfast after cooking a block of meat, so it is difficult to take in protein in this way at breakfast to prevent the occurrence and progression of frailty and sarcopenia.

[0076] However, the efficient protein absorption food of the present invention is made by crushing cooked and processed meat into very fine pieces, which can be easily swallowed by simply placing it in the mouth as it dissolves in saliva and becomes viscous. In other words, by taking the efficient protein absorption food of the present invention for breakfast, it becomes possible to efficiently ingest protein in the morning.

[0077] As explained above, according to the present invention, the small pieces of meat according to the present invention, or a mixture of the meat with gelatin or starch, can be packed in a can and then sterilized at high temperature, allowing them to be stored for a long period of time. When stored in a soft container such as a pouch, deterioration of the pouch, early expiration of the storage period, and leakage of the contents due to breakage of the pouch can be prevented by storing the meat in a can.

[0078] In addition to the above, the type of meat chunks to be cut into small pieces in the present invention are preferably meats from mammals similar to humans, such as beef and pork, which allow humans to ingest protein most efficiently and quickly. However, meats such as chicken, which are common ingredients used daily in households, are also desirable as they can be ingested efficiently and quickly as animal protein.

[0079] In this way, in this era of 100-year life spans, which is said to be a super-aging society, it will be possible to get back on track with one's pace of life and live a fulfilling life to the very end, while maintaining one's quality of life for the majority of one hundred years, so that one does not end up feeling as if one has fallen into a valley in the latter half of one's life.

[0080] The types of meat in the present invention are not limited to those mentioned above, and so-called mammalian meat is most preferable from the viewpoint of increasing human muscle strength and preventing collagen loss, and even game meat (wild boar, bear, venison, etc.) can be used as the meat of the present invention. EXAMPLES

[0081] Two examples will be described below as examples, but it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to these two examples. That is, it is emphasized that the unique effects of the present invention can be achieved by arbitrarily selecting and combining the size of the ground small pieces of meat in the range of about 1 mm to 3 mm in each of the first to third embodiments described above. (1) Example 1 (First step S1-1) In Example 1, the application of the present invention to elderly people with extremely low levels of swallowing ability will be specifically described. The size of the ground meat particles is about 1 mm (for example, if the size of the ground meat particles is close to a sphere, the size is about 1 mm), and the particles can be directly put into the mouth and mixed with saliva and easily swallowed, and can also be mixed into liquids such as consommé soup or buckwheat soup to very easily ingest the required amount of protein for the day. (Second step S1-2) By taking the granulated meat of the present invention as in step S1-1 every morning, a day's worth of protein is digested and absorbed for a certain period of time, and the protein is converted from peptides to amino acids in the digestive organs and absorbed in the digestive organs (intestines), improving weakened muscles. When the chewing ability improves slightly as a result, the size of the granulated meat of the present invention is changed to a diameter of 2 mm, and the meat is mixed with gelatin as necessary and sealed in a can. (Third step S1-3) By continuing step S1-2 for a certain period of time, not only the body's muscles but also the internal organs are improved and the digestive function is increased, and when it reaches a certain level, step S1-2 is switched to step S1-3. The size of the food particles in this step S1-3 is about 3 mm. In this case, if you open the can every morning and eat the present invention filled with only meat, the size (weight) is 3 mm in step S1-3 rather than 1 mm as in step 1, so it is 3 to the power of 3 = 27 times larger than the particles in step S1-1, and even for those who want to ingest only this meat particle, they can send the meat to the digestive organs while chewing it properly, rather than simply swallowing it like a liquid food, and the sensation of eating meat can be emotionally felt in the hypothalamus of the brain. Compared to the stage where the chewing ability had decreased, they can feel that they can eat food, and they can feel a joy that they have never felt before. (2) Example 2 Example 2 is an example for achieving efficient absorption of protein in a state where the chewing force is not as extremely reduced as in Example 1, but is still significantly reduced compared to normal chewing force. (First step S2-1) In Example 2, as the first step S2-1, any of steps S1-1 to S1-3 in Example 1, or each of them is repeated in sequence as in Example 1, or, in a state where gelatin is mixed as in the second embodiment, any of steps S1-1 to S1-3 in Example 1, or each of them is repeated in sequence as in Example 1. This allows a sufficient amount of protein to be absorbed, gradually improving frailty and sarcopenia throughout the body, and improving oral frailty of the masticatory muscles to a certain extent. (Second step S2-2) This is heated to harden it to a certain degree of chewiness, and then the person actually chews it and swallows it. By providing the protein-efficient absorption food of the present invention at least at breakfast time every day to elderly people whose chewing function has not yet declined or whose chewing function is still recovering, and having them chew it to a certain degree and swallow it, the following effects can be achieved.

[0082] Specifically, as mentioned above, at this stage, the hypothalamus is stimulated and you can feel the sensation of eating meat from an emotional standpoint. Unlike the time when you were mostly consuming liquid food, your appetite for food is satisfied, one of the three basic human needs (the three basic human needs: hunger, sex, and sleep), making you feel younger and leading to very favorable results in terms of mental health.

[0083] In addition, by reaching this stage, you will have continued to consume a sufficient amount of meat, which will not only stop the progression of muscle atrophy throughout the body, but will also actively increase muscle mass, improving various athletic abilities.

[0084] Specifically, it can contribute to improving the motor function of hands and feet, and increase collagen, which is necessary for smooth movement of joints and prevents joint pain, which decreases with age if not absorbed from food.As a result, through the above-mentioned hypothalamus, people can once again feel the joy of eating food emotionally, and improve their motivation to eat every day.In addition, people who have previously suffered from joint pain due to the decrease in collagen in each joint and whose body parts such as hands and feet have been weakened can move their body parts such as hands and feet, and be freed from the joint pain associated with movement, allowing them to live a bright and cheerful life every day.

[0085] In this way, when you can feel that the freedom of movement of each part of your body has improved, you will not only become physically healthy, but also become brighter and healthier in mind and body, as can be seen from the old saying "shinshin itchiyo" (body and mind being one). (Taishukan Four-character Idiom Dictionary)

[0086] And by moving more lightly than before, people can now get out of bed and walk around, instead of lying in bed and swallowing liquid food; look out the window at the scenery outside and experience the changing seasons; or go outside the home and explore nearby areas, making new discoveries and meeting acquaintances to enjoy conversation.

[0087] In this way, by carrying out each step introduced in the above-mentioned embodiment, or by selecting and carrying out various other steps tailored to the individual physical condition of each elderly person, the elderly person can efficiently ingest protein, and thus be freed from the sense of being unable to live the rest of their lives actively due to the deterioration of chewing function caused by an unexpected decrease in muscle strength in the middle of their lives in a super-aging society that is said to be an era in which people can live to 100 years, and the accompanying mental anxiety, and can also achieve the exact opposite, a daily active state, as well as mental peace and hope.

[0088] It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the materials and dimensions used in the above-described embodiments, and various types of meat may be ground into smaller pieces or into pieces of different sizes within the scope of the object and effects of the present invention.

[0089] Furthermore, the type of meat is not limited to the types of meat listed in the above embodiment, and for example, wild boar meat, bear meat, venison meat, etc., which are used in gibier dishes as described above, can be used to make the food contain a sufficient amount of protein. Alternatively, meat from various mammals may be crushed into small pieces and then mixed together. In other words, the inventors of the present invention consider that mammalian meat and poultry meat are preferable from the viewpoint of efficient absorption of protein.

[0090] Furthermore, when using wild boar, bear, or venison for the above-mentioned game dishes, if the meat used is from bears, wild boars, or deer that have come from mountainous areas into human settlements in search of food and have been culled, it would be desirable to use a portion of the profits from processing and selling this meat as food to help these animals live in their natural mountainous areas without coming into human homes, as this would be a contribution, even if only a little, to the natural coexistence between humans and animals.

[0091] Below, the inventor, who has been involved in dental practice for many years, will describe his findings regarding the advantages of the present invention. (1) Muscles and tendons are circulated (tissue-wise replaced) by new muscles and tendons every three months. If there is a lack of muscle-building protein at that time, normal muscles and tendons will not be regenerated due to a decrease in protein synthesis ability. This shows that it is extremely important to promote the regeneration of normal muscles and tendons. Therefore, it can be said that the product of the present invention, which is made of meat pieces (meat grains) that have been ground into small pieces by a grinder, is the optimal form for efficiently supplying sufficient protein for muscle and tendon regeneration. (2) When comparing the case where a block of meat, such as a steak, is chewed with the case where a similar block of meat is pulverized into small pieces according to the present invention, the surface area of ​​the two is significantly different, and the total surface area of ​​the latter pulverized into small pieces is larger than the total surface area of ​​the former piece of meat after mastication. In addition, the latter small pieces of meat, which are significantly smaller in absolute size, are widely dispersed in the digestive organs, allowing the chemical reaction of the digestive juice with the protein to work efficiently. This significantly improves the efficiency of protein digestion and absorption in the digestive organs. As a result, it can be understood that the present invention is extremely effective in preventing and improving frailty and sarcopenia, which occur or worsen due to the gradual decrease in muscle mass, by ensuring the circulation of muscle decomposition and regeneration.

[0092] The best embodiment of the food for efficient protein absorption according to the present invention will be specifically described below. In the best embodiment of the food for efficient protein absorption according to the present invention, the meat used is a red meat part with almost no fat (fat). Beef is the most preferable type of meat, but pork, chicken, mutton, horse meat, and other meats commonly used as food ingredients may also be used. In addition, wild boar meat, bear meat, venison, goat meat, and other meats may also be used.

[0093] In particular, beef is preferable because it contains sufficient vitamin B12, iron, and other elements in addition to protein. Specifically, protein helps to create not only the body's muscles themselves, but also muscle tendons, collagen in joints, internal organs, firm skin, and shiny hair. In addition, beef protein contains essential amino acids in a good balance. More specifically, it contains vitamin B12, which is effective in preventing anemia, iron, zinc, which improves immunity, and the like, making it the ideal meat for the efficient protein absorption food of the present invention. In addition, fillet meat, thigh meat, and the like are suitable as the part of beef that is preferable for use as the source of the efficient protein absorption food of the present invention, that is, the lean red meat part.

[0094] In addition, pork, other than beef, is rich in vitamin B group in addition to protein, and especially contains a very large amount of vitamin B1. Like beef, pork has a good balance of essential amino acids, and is a source of collagen for muscles and joints, and can also contribute to reducing fatigue and improving immune function. As for the part of meat that is the source of the efficient protein absorption food of the present invention, pork tenderloin and pork thigh, which are low in fat like beef, are preferable.

[0095] In addition to the above, it is better to use chicken fillets and breast meat that are low in fat and rich in protein. Furthermore, lamb is rich in the above-mentioned carnitine, and the fat contained in lamb does not melt unless it is at a temperature higher than human body temperature, so even if lamb containing fat is used as the raw material for the efficient protein absorption food of the present invention, only the protein can be efficiently absorbed into the body.

[0096] In recent years, these animals have been trespassing in residential areas and threatening people's safety and peaceful lives, and they are being captured and exterminated as targets for extermination. However, this has led to the problem of having to allocate considerable administrative costs to the subsequent disposal.

[0097] Therefore, meat such as bear meat, wild boar meat, or venison can be used as the raw meat material for producing the food product for efficient protein absorption of this invention, either alone or in appropriate combinations, and then finely chopped.Then, by packing the resulting meat juice in cans or retort pouches and sterilizing it, the food product can be provided at a very low price as a food product rich in protein.

[0098] Here, the inventor will provide a supplementary explanation. As mentioned above, meat in the present invention includes horse meat, pork, chicken, other mutton, venison, bear, wild boar, goat, and other meats under the category of beef. In addition to the above-mentioned parts, the meat of each animal can also be used, such as facial muscles, intercostal muscles, and diaphragms, which are not normally distributed as food and must be disposed of through various disposal processes for safety reasons. Furthermore, meat from individuals used for labor that is not suitable for consumption, for example, that is too hard to chew even when cooked, can also be used.

[0099] This avoids the waste of meat parts that are essentially ingestible, and eliminates the cost of this waste disposal. As a result, the cost of raw materials for meat parts that contain sufficient protein, which were originally treated as waste, can be kept extremely low, and the cost of waste disposal that was previously required can be eliminated while sterilizing and sealing the meat in the above-mentioned canned containers. This makes it possible to supply a very large amount of canned meat rich in protein as a preserved food to the market at a price that is significantly lower than the currently available canned beef, which is very expensive.

[0100] Although sausages, ham, bacon, etc. require a refrigerator to be stored, in the present invention, they can be finally canned, so they can be stored at room temperature for a long period of time, and once purchased, they can be stored for a long period of time in small, unused dead spaces in a home. Therefore, only the foods you need can be stored in the refrigerator, which contributes to saving electricity over the long term. In addition, their usefulness as emergency food is greatly increased.

[0101] As a result, this invention makes it possible to provide foods containing sufficient protein as preserved foods or cooking ingredients to low-income earners who are affected by the recent social problem of income disparity, to elderly people who have high expenses compared to their pension income, and to low-income households with growing children. Of course, by providing such foods every day to ordinary households, they can maintain good physical condition and lower their Engel coefficient, and the resulting economic surplus can be used for expenses such as their own hobbies or their children's cram schools and extracurricular activities, thereby contributing to improving the quality of their daily lives.

[0102] As a result, it will be possible to provide a cost-effective food product that can provide protein to people who cannot afford to buy expensive food due to financial problems and their growing children on a daily basis. In addition, by using this meat, it will be possible to use it as a stockpile food in preparation for long-term evacuation in the event of a large-scale disaster.

[0103] In the manufacturing process of the food for efficient protein absorption according to the present invention, the meat is grilled and cooked until it is ready to eat. The degree of doneness varies depending on the type of meat, and each type of meat is grilled until it is ready to eat.

[0104] Specifically, beef tenderloin or thigh meat is thoroughly grilled on a hot plate, as when it is eaten as a steak. In this case, it can be simply grilled, or it can be grilled with salt, pepper, and other appropriate spices.

[0105] Next, the grilled meat is put into a grinder such as a mixer and pulverized until it becomes granular. The granulated meat pieces, including the juices that were generated during the grinding process, are then sealed in cans or pouches for retort products, and sterilized at high temperature to produce a food product that can be stored for a long period of time and is highly efficient in absorbing protein.

[0106] As mentioned above, the sealed and stored protein-efficient food is in a state where very fine granular meat pieces are mixed with the juices that are produced when the meat is cut. The juices act as a binder to prevent the fine granular meat pieces from falling apart like a simple collection of dried grains.

[0107] That is, the meat juices are mixed between the meat particles, so that the meat takes the form of a soft, solid food in the form of a slurry having sufficient viscosity that an appropriate amount can be scooped up and eaten with a spoon or the like.

[0108] As described above, the meat becomes chunky to a certain extent and has a firm slurry-like form with the meat juices binding it together, so that the required amount of meat can be scooped up with a spoon and put directly into the mouth without spilling it around, or it can be mixed into cooked dishes, soups, etc.

[0109] Therefore, for example, even elderly people who have difficulty moving their hands or have lost their dexterity can easily and reliably ingest the necessary amount of protein in the form of natural meat without soiling their hands, mouth, clothes, or the dining table.

[0110] In addition, when you put it in your mouth, the juices that bind the small pieces of meat together permeate your mouth and you can feel the juices in a natural way with your taste buds. This increases the amount of saliva produced by natural physiological processes, and the saliva and juices mix better in your mouth.

[0111] This allows the meat and juices in the mouth to mix with the sufficiently secreted saliva, making it easier to swallow, and prevents the elderly from having swallowing disorders (aspiration) while eating. As a result, the present invention prevents the common problem of mochi-like foods and other foods of a certain size getting stuck in the trachea (aspiration) while eating, which can lead to serious situations such as aspiration pneumonia.

[0112] In this way, even elderly people with reduced chewing ability, or people who have previously been unable to chew meat and other foods sufficiently due to their chewing ability, can take in the amount of protein they require every day by holding an appropriate amount of food in their mouth using the protein supplement of this invention, which turns the food into a moderately fluid liquid and sends it to the digestive organs.Since the food is already cut into granules, it is efficiently digested in the digestive organs and the person can efficiently take in the amount of protein they require every day.

[0113] This will make it possible to slow or reverse the progression of frailty and sarcopenia, thereby improving the quality of life by increasing the activity time of elderly people who have spent a long time bedridden.

[0114] In addition, for people who must have the necessary nutrients supplied to their stomach via a gastrostomy tube, the protein supplement of the present invention, which consists of finely chopped meat and meat juice passing through a tube, can be diluted with liquid containing other nutrients to allow the daily required protein to be ingested through the tube.

[0115] In addition, it is important for children to ingest protein, an essential nutrient, every day for their healthy and sufficient development, but even children who dislike chewing meat can ingest the necessary protein by using the protein-efficient absorption food of the present invention without having to chew a hard block of meat of a certain size as is usually the case.

[0116] In particular, during the period when baby teeth are being replaced by permanent teeth or when tooth decay progresses to the point where treatment is required, even children often find that they are unable to chew food adequately due to pain. However, by consuming foods that efficiently absorb protein according to the present invention, they can ingest the necessary protein.

[0117] In addition, in the case of infants and young children, when they are transitioning from milk food to regular food (general food), there is a risk of choking if they suddenly eat hard meat, even if the piece is small. However, by ingesting protein through the protein-efficient absorption food product of this invention, the occurrence of such serious accidents can be reliably prevented.

[0118] In addition, the protein-efficient absorption food of the present invention is also useful for people in their prime. These people tend to not have enough time to eat each meal and continue to live every day with an unbalanced diet. As a result, in the long run, they often end up with a deterioration in their physical condition without even realizing it.

[0119] In particular, if you do not have enough time to thoroughly chew foods such as meat, which contain sufficient protein to provide collagen for muscles and joints and are easily absorbed by the digestive organs, your muscles may weaken without you realizing it, and this, combined with the daily work and housework, can make you more susceptible to lethargy and fatigue.

[0120] Even when this happens, the person is unable to take effective measures without understanding the clear reason, which causes them great mental stress.

[0121] However, by eating the necessary amount of the protein-efficient absorption food of the present invention every day without fail, even if you do not have time to eat, you can efficiently send finely cut pieces of meat equivalent to meat that has been thoroughly chewed, mixed with meat juice and saliva, to the digestive organs. This prevents the decline of the body's motor functions, and makes it possible to carry out and enjoy daily work, housework, shopping, and dining out with friends without feeling like a chore.

[0122] In recent years, the social trend has been to encourage men to participate in child-rearing, but in reality, it is still the women who raise infants after giving birth who are the ones who do the majority of the raising. Raising an infant requires frequent feedings, changing diapers, and soothing the infant when it cries at night, and this lifestyle continues for a considerable period of time every day. As a result, some mothers become physically and mentally exhausted while raising their children, resulting in maternity blues, which can lead to child abandonment or abuse, becoming a social problem.

[0123] One of the major factors is the physical burden on mothers who are raising children. In other words, it is quite possible that the daily hustle and bustle of raising children leads to accumulated fatigue, which in turn makes it difficult for mothers to eat enough for themselves, leading to a vicious cycle in which this leads to a decline in muscle strength and a deterioration in physical condition, which makes raising children even more difficult.

[0124] Therefore, by consuming the protein-efficient absorption food of the present invention at each meal, mothers can efficiently ingest the protein they need each day in a short time in order to reduce the burden on mothers raising children. As a result, the present invention can contribute greatly to preventing the deterioration of physical condition due to the above-mentioned physical burden, reducing the burden of child-rearing over a long period of time, and allowing mothers to spend the child-rearing period with plenty of love for their infants.

[0125] Next, we will explain the essential differences between minced meat and corned beef, which are typical examples of meat-processed secondary foods that correspond to the efficient protein absorption foods of the present invention, and the efficient protein absorption foods of the present invention. Since the former minced meat is made from cut raw meat, it takes time to cook it afterwards, and since the binding agent is meat fiber, it is difficult to easily take out the amount you need with a spoon.

[0126] For example, for elderly people living alone, they have to cook and eat minced meat every meal to get enough protein every day, which is a lot of work. Not only that, but for elderly people who have chronic weakness in their limbs or back, not only is cooking properly and eating it a big physical burden, but they may also accidentally soil the area around the cooking area, or eat half-cooked food because they are too lazy to cook, which can lead to food poisoning.

[0127] Furthermore, when cooking minced meat, etc., there is a high risk of using fire during cooking and forgetting to turn off the fire after cooking, which could lead to serious accidents such as fires. However, if the protein-efficient absorption food of the present invention is eaten as is without cooking it, by simply scooping out an appropriate amount with a spoon or the like, such dangers can be reliably avoided.

[0128] On the other hand, corned beef is an example of a processed meat product that can be eaten as is without cooking like ground meat. Processed meat products like corned beef are already cooked, but the binder is fatty, and if you eat them every day, you will naturally consume too much fat and salt in addition to the protein in the form of finely chopped meat pieces, which is not desirable. Also, because the binder is fatty, when you scoop out an appropriate amount with a spoon, the fat will stain your hands and clothes, and the area around your mouth will become sticky and uncomfortable.

[0129] As described above, the food product for efficient protein absorption of the present invention enables people of all generations mentioned above to efficiently and reliably ingest protein every day, which is a major nutritional element that is indispensable in their daily diet.

[0130] In particular, with the recent rapid advent of an aging society, even elderly people who do not have sufficient chewing ability, and even elderly people who have lost the dexterity of their hands and find it difficult to cook for themselves and ingest protein every day, can easily and reliably take in the necessary and sufficient protein for daily intake into their digestive organs.

[0131] In addition, since the meat is finely ground and mixed with the meat juices when it is put into the mouth, the taste buds in the mouth react sensitively, stimulating the secretion of saliva, and the meat juices are further mixed with saliva, making it possible for the meat to be passed through the digestive tract in a more fluid slurry state without much chewing.

[0132] As a result, it becomes possible to prevent serious accidents such as choking caused by food getting stuck while eating, which occurs frequently with the rapid arrival of an aging society and has become a social problem. In addition, the problems that the various generations mentioned above face according to their respective circumstances can be solved by using the protein-efficient absorption food of the present invention.

[0133] Furthermore, in the event of natural disasters such as major earthquakes and super-large typhoons caused by recent abnormal weather, river flooding and landslides caused by linear rain bands, and wildfires caused by heat waves, people will have to evacuate to safe facilities and live in evacuation centers for long periods of time. By keeping the protein-efficient absorption food of the present invention on hand in preparation for the occurrence of such emergencies, people can ingest protein, which tends to be in short supply at evacuation centers.

[0134] In other words, for example, the conventional combination of dry bread makes it difficult to endure evacuation, but by using the efficient protein absorption food of the present invention consisting of finely chopped meat mixed with liquid meat juice, unlike bland dry bread, it is possible to alleviate the discomfort of evacuation life as described above.

[0135] In addition, the proportion of elderly people, children, pregnant women, etc. will be high in evacuation centers, but all of these people can eat the protein-efficient absorption food of this invention as is, and all evacuees can be provided with sufficient protein, an important nutrient for life in evacuation centers.

[0136] Furthermore, when living in an evacuation shelter, there is a high possibility that infrastructure facilities such as water, electricity, and gas will not function properly. In such a case, it is impossible to boil and eat instant noodles, which are preserved foods stored in disaster evacuation shelters, by adding water. However, the protein-efficient absorption food of the present invention will not be affected even if such important infrastructure facilities fail to function.

[0137] The inventor's findings on how the present invention is useful for effectively forming muscles, which are extremely important biological tissues, regardless of age or gender, are described below. Specifically, muscles are biological tissues that are essential for supporting athletic ability and bodily movement, and they control the body's motor functions and also play an important role in maintaining health.

[0138] The main component of muscle is muscle fiber, which is the cell that performs muscle contraction and movement and contains muscle proteins such as myosin and actin.

[0139] It is important to note that muscles contain a total of 20 amino acids, including the two mentioned above, and nine of these cannot be synthesized in the body, so they must be ingested through food. Specifically, by efficiently ingesting protein, the building blocks of muscle, through food, muscle fibers are not only formed, but they also play a role in muscle contraction and repair of damaged muscles.

[0140] As can be seen from the above, in order to make the muscles that control the motor functions of all parts of the human body function healthily and effectively, it is important to ingest sufficient protein every day, which is the only protein required to perform the above-mentioned functions.More specifically, in order to suppress the onset and progression of frailty and sarcopenia based on such muscle weakening, it can be understood that it is very important to ingest protein from daily meals in the form of food that is rich in protein that is easily absorbed by the body, that is, in the form of food such as the food of the present invention.

[0141] In general, the recommended daily intake of protein is 1.2g to 2.0g per kg of body weight to increase muscle mass. Based on this, a person weighing 70kg needs to consume 84 to 140g of protein per day. Based on this guideline, it can be said that it is extremely important for even elderly people to take in foods containing protein appropriate for their individual weight through their diet, and to efficiently absorb it into the body through this digestive organ without excreting it in vain, and use it as a source of muscle.

[0142] By doing this, even elderly people can take in a sufficient amount of protein and then engage in appropriate exercise, training, rehabilitation, etc. to form new muscle fibers that make up muscles based on the protein they have taken in, and strengthen muscles in injured or functionally impaired parts of the body, thereby not only preventing the decline of the vitality that humans naturally possess, but also improving this vitality.

[0143] Finally, a modified example of the method for efficient protein absorption according to the present invention will be described. First, a general explanation of bodily movement functions will be given. The movement of each part of the body is achieved by the contraction of the skeleton and the muscles attached to the skeleton. The muscles are connected to the skeleton by tendons at both ends. Here, tendons are mainly composed of collagen fibers and fibrous tissue, and collagen fibers also play an important role in smooth movement of joints.

[0144] As can be seen from the above, in order to move body parts freely and effortlessly, it is important that the tendons connecting muscles and bones maintain a good strength in addition to the contraction using muscle strength. In addition, it is very important that there is no collagen deficiency in all joints, which play a very important role in smoothly performing the specified movements of each part of the body.

[0145] For these reasons, in addition to absorbing protein from finely ground meat into the body, the tendons of the above-mentioned animals are also cut into as small pieces as possible and swallowed and absorbed into the body without chewing, in order to form strong muscles and prevent them from weakening, and to maintain the strength of the tendons so that they are strong enough to move each part of the body using the strength of the well-formed muscles, and further to improve the natural mobility of the body parts by smooth movement of the joints.

[0146] However, tendons are naturally very hard and are not a food that is often cooked and eaten on a daily basis. In addition, because tendons themselves are quite hard, it is difficult for elderly people with reduced chewing ability and children who do not yet have sufficient chewing power to chew and eat tendons, and there is a risk of them getting stuck in the throat.

[0147] Similarly, even adults may take time to chew and swallow tendons, and may further chip some of the weakened teeth that were made during chewing. Therefore, as in the efficient protein absorption method of the present invention, it is considered to be a very suitable modified example of the present invention to cook tendons, crush them to a size similar to that of meat, mix them with meat, and sterilize them in a sealed container such as a can or retort pouch.

[0148] Specifically, in Figure 1, cooked meat chunks are prepared, then crushed in a mill mixer (grinder), and the crushing process is terminated when the meat chunks become small pieces. At the same time, cooked tendons are prepared, crushed in a mill mixer (grinder), and the crushing process is terminated when the tendons become small pieces.

[0149] Then, either of the following is selected: either the meat crushed into small pieces is mixed with gelatin and stirred according to process 2, or the meat crushed into small pieces is mixed with starch and stirred according to process 3, and in processes 2 and 3, the meat is then placed into a can or retort pouch and sealed, and all the sealed cans and retort pouches are then sealed and sterilized at high temperature to complete the manufacturing process.

[0150] The meat and tendons may be cooked separately and then mixed in an appropriate ratio, or the meat and tendons may be mixed in an appropriate ratio before cooking. In addition, in the step of grinding in a mill mixer, the meat and tendons may be mixed and ground together, or the meat and tendons may be ground separately and then mixed.

[0151] Regarding the extent to which the meat chunks and tendons should be pulverized in the process of pulverizing the meat into small pieces, it is most preferable to pulverize them to the extent that they can be swallowed by elderly people or small children, for example, without the need to chew them, as the juices mixed with the meat and the saliva secreted when the meat is put in the mouth will flow into the esophagus like a liquid food.

[0152] The degree of crushing is not limited to this modified example, and also applies to the above-mentioned embodiment in which only the cooked meat chunks are crushed and sealed in a can or retort pouch according to the above-mentioned processes 1 to 3, and then sterilized, so that elderly people and children can swallow the meat together with the juices and saliva that are produced when the meat is crushed, without having to chew it.

[0153] As mentioned above, when the crushed meat chunks and the crushed tendons are mixed and put into the mouth, each spreads in a thin state, but since the meat feels soft and the tendons remain hard, it is possible to enjoy a special texture that is not usually experienced, that is, it gives the person who eats it a delicious taste. This makes it easier for the elderly and children to eat, and allows them to efficiently ingest both protein and collagen.

[0154] In this way, not only can muscles be built, but also the function of damaged or weakened tendons and joints can be restored, and the synergistic effect of these two can allow each part of the body to be moved more actively, which in turn increases muscle strength, and the amount of protein intake increases physiologically and naturally. This modification of the present invention has the unique advantage of being able to comprehensively improve physical motor function.

[0155] In the above-described embodiment and its modified examples, the type of meat to be ground may be a single type of meat, or different types of meat may be mixed and ground.Furthermore, different types of meat may be ground and then mixed together.

[0156] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned modified example, the meat to be ground and the tendons to be ground may be different in type and combination. For example, the meat to be ground may be beef and the tendons to be ground may be bear meat or boar meat, and these may be mixed before grinding or mixed after grinding each.

[0157] In this way, it can be said that a suitable combination of the type of meat to be ground and the type of the tendon to be ground is one preferred variation. For example, a specific example of the efficient protein absorption food obtained by the present invention is a food in which the main ground meat is beef and ground tendons of bear meat, boar meat, etc. are contained therein.

[0158] By using the above-mentioned combination of meat and tendon types, people who efficiently ingest protein using this invention can eat the food while recognizing that the main ingredient, i.e., the meat ingredient, is beef, and can absorb nutrients from the efficient protein absorption food product of this invention without feeling any strangeness in their normal everyday senses.

[0159] Naturally, the present invention is not limited to such a specific combination of meat and tendon, and other types of meat and tendon combinations are also possible. In other words, by implementing the present invention using an appropriate combination of meat and tendons that are in excess circulation at the time, it is possible to provide a very inexpensive, nutritious, and protein-efficiently absorbing food.
