<Fermentation of onion skin>
Onion skin 5.0 kg was dried at 50 ° C. for 3 hours using a hot air dryer. This was cut into approximately 3 mm squares and sterilized by heating at 100 to 150 ° C. for 700 seconds using a microwave sterilizer. At this time, the onion skin was formed into a layer having a thickness of about 20 mm and sterilized by adding 18% of water of the onion skin weight. 2.0 kg of the onion skin thus obtained was put into a stainless steel mixer, and 0.5 kg of roasted brown rice, 25 g of commercially available Rhizopus oligosporus and 6.25 liters of water were added for 1 minute. Stir. After stopping the stirring, the cells were cultured at 32 ° C. for 48 hours. After completion of the culture, the cells were dried at 70 ° C. for 6 to 24 hours. The obtained fermented onion skin was sterilized at 100 to 150 ° C. for 900 seconds using a microwave sterilizer. At this time, the onion skin was formed into a layer having a thickness of about 20 mm, and 28% of the onion skin weight was added to sterilize.

<ケルセチンの測定>
上記のようにして得られた醗酵タマネギ皮0.5gを精密に秤量し、メタノール20mLを加えて超音波洗浄機で30分間処理し、4000rpmで10分間遠心分離した。得られた上清をメタノールで20mLに定容し、そのうち1mLをとってメタノールで10mLに定容し、0.45nmのメンブレンフィルターでろ過して試料溶液を得た。
<Measurement of quercetin>
0.5 g of the fermented onion peel obtained as described above was precisely weighed, 20 mL of methanol was added, treated with an ultrasonic cleaner for 30 minutes, and centrifuged at 4000 rpm for 10 minutes. The resulting supernatant was made up to 20 mL with methanol, 1 mL of which was taken up to 10 mL with methanol, and filtered through a 0.45 nm membrane filter to obtain a sample solution.

得られた結果を、次の表1に示す。上記と同様の方法により、タマネギ皮の醗酵を4回行い、それぞれについてケルセチンの量を測定した。また、比較として、醗酵前のタマネギ皮のみを上記と同様に処理してHPLCで分析して、ケルセチンの量を測定した。
表1において、醗酵前のタマネギ皮のケルセチン量と比較した場合のケルセチンの実質増加率は、タマネギ皮の醗酵に用いたタマネギ皮と玄米との重量混合比(8:2)を考慮して算出した。すなわち、(実質増加率)=(増加率)×10/8として計算した。
The obtained results are shown in Table 1 below. By the same method as above, the onion skin was fermented four times, and the amount of quercetin was measured for each. For comparison, only the onion skin before fermentation was treated in the same manner as described above and analyzed by HPLC to measure the amount of quercetin.
In Table 1, the actual increase rate of quercetin when compared with the amount of quercetin in the onion skin before fermentation is calculated in consideration of the weight mixing ratio (8: 2) of onion skin and brown rice used in the fermentation of the onion skin. did. That is, it was calculated as (real increase rate) = (increase rate) × 10/8.

上記の実施例1において、焙煎玄米を加えない以外は上記の実施例と同様にしてタマネギの皮にテンペ菌を植菌して培養を行った。上記の実施例1と同様にしてケルセチンの量を測定した。
結果を、次の表2に示す。上記の実施例1と同様にして、醗酵前のタマネギ皮に含まれるケルセチンの量を測定し、醗酵前のタマネギ皮のケルセチン量と比較した場合のケルセチンの増加率を算出した。
Comparative Example 1
In Example 1 above, tempe fungus was inoculated into the onion skin in the same manner as in the above Example except that roasted brown rice was not added, and culture was performed. The amount of quercetin was measured in the same manner as in Example 1 above.
The results are shown in Table 2 below. In the same manner as in Example 1 above, the amount of quercetin contained in the onion skin before fermentation was measured, and the increase rate of quercetin when compared with the amount of quercetin in the onion skin before fermentation was calculated.

上記の結果から、本発明の方法により、テンペ菌を用いてタマネギの皮に含まれるケルセチンの含量を増加させることができることがわかる。   From the above results, it can be seen that by the method of the present invention, the content of quercetin contained in the onion skin can be increased using Tempe fungus.

実施例2
上記の実施例1で得られた醗酵タマネギ皮1.5gをティーバッグに入れ、200mLの熱湯につけて2分間放置して、タマネギ皮の茶飲料を製造した。
比較として、醗酵していないタマネギの皮1.5gをティーバッグに入れ、同様にして飲料を抽出した。
これらの飲料について、醗酵していないタマネギの皮からの飲料を基準(3点)として、醗酵タマネギ皮からの茶飲料の香り及び味を、10名のパネラーにより以下のようにして5点満点で評価した。
1点 悪い
2点 やや悪い
3点 普通
4点 やや良い
5点 良い
Example 2
A fermented onion peel 1.5 g obtained in Example 1 above was placed in a tea bag, placed in 200 mL of hot water and allowed to stand for 2 minutes to produce an onion peel tea beverage.
For comparison, 1.5 g of unfermented onion peel was placed in a tea bag, and a beverage was extracted in the same manner.
About these drinks, the drinks from unfermented onion peels as the standard (3 points), the aroma and taste of the tea drink from the fermented onion peels as 5 points as below by 10 panelists evaluated.
1 point, bad 2 points, somewhat bad 3 points, normal 4 points, slightly good 5 points, good

結果を、次の表3に示す。

Figure 2008079516
The results are shown in Table 3 below.
Figure 2008079516

上記の表3から明らかなように、本発明の方法により、タマネギ皮から抽出される茶飲料の味及び香りを向上することができる。また、醗酵後のタマネギの皮から得られる茶飲料では、タマネギの皮の苦味が低減され、飲みやすくなった。   As apparent from Table 3 above, the method of the present invention can improve the taste and aroma of the tea beverage extracted from the onion skin. Moreover, in the tea drink obtained from the onion peel after fermentation, the bitter taste of the onion peel was reduced and it became easy to drink.
