Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a composition for lactobacillus multiplication which can conveniently and inexpensively multiply lactobacillus and has high effect of promoting lactobacillus multiplication.SOLUTION: The composition for lactobacillus multiplication contains stems and/or leaves of six-rowed barley. Preferably, the six-rowed barley is at least one kind of six-rowed barley selected from among Baitori, Silky Snow, Haganemugi, Kashima Goal, Fiber Snow, Shunrai and Ichibanboshi.

Description

本発明は、大麦の茎及び/又は葉(以下「茎葉」という)を用いた乳酸菌増殖用組成物に関する。   The present invention relates to a composition for growing lactic acid bacteria using barley stems and / or leaves (hereinafter referred to as “stems and leaves”).

大麦は中央アジア原産とされ、イネ科に属する一年生又は越年生草本である。大麦は、穂形により、二条大麦と六条大麦等に大別される。二条大麦と六条大麦とでは、穂についている実の列数が異なり、穂を上から見ると二条大麦は2列に、六条大麦は6列に実がついている。六条大麦は、2〜3世紀に朝鮮を経て日本に渡来したとされ、雑穀として利用されるほか、麦茶の原料にも利用されている。一方、二条大麦は日本には欧米から明治時代に導入されたとされ、主に醸造用に用いられている。   Barley is native to Central Asia and is an annual or perennial herb belonging to the grass family. Barley is roughly classified into Nijo barley and Rojo barley according to the shape of the spike. Nijo Barley and Rokujo Barley have different numbers of rows of fruit on the ears. Looking at the ear from the top, Nijo Barley has fruits in two rows and Rojo Barley has fruits in six rows. Rokujo barley is said to have come to Japan after passing through Korea in the 2nd to 3rd centuries. Nijo barley, on the other hand, was introduced in Japan during the Meiji period from Europe and America, and is mainly used for brewing.

また、乳酸菌は、グルコース等の糖類から多量の乳酸を生成する細菌の総称であり、醤油、清酒、味噌等に見出される他、乳製品、穀類、腸等にも分布している。発酵乳、乳酸菌飲料、チーズ等の製造のために、乳酸菌の培養には獣乳を含む培地を使用することが多いが、乳酸菌の栄養要求性が厳格であるため、増殖に適さない菌株が多いという問題がある。このため、乳酸菌を増殖させるための物質として、培地中に、酵母エキス、麦芽エキス、ペプトン、アミノ酸等を添加することが知られているが、高価な上に培養条件が制限され、安価かつ簡便に、乳酸菌を増殖させることが難しいという問題がある。   Lactic acid bacteria are a general term for bacteria that produce a large amount of lactic acid from saccharides such as glucose, and are also found in soy sauce, sake, miso, etc., and are also distributed in dairy products, cereals, intestines and the like. In order to produce fermented milk, lactic acid bacteria beverages, cheese, etc., culture medium containing animal milk is often used for cultivation of lactic acid bacteria, but because of the strict nutritional requirements of lactic acid bacteria, many strains are not suitable for growth. There is a problem. For this reason, it is known that yeast extract, malt extract, peptone, amino acids, etc. are added to the medium as a substance for growing lactic acid bacteria. In addition, there is a problem that it is difficult to grow lactic acid bacteria.

安価且つ簡便に乳酸菌を増殖できる組成物として、本出願人は、先に大麦の茎葉を用いた乳酸菌増殖用組成物を提案した(特許文献1)。特許文献1には、段落〔0013〕に、「前記大麦の品種としては、特に制限はなく、目的に応じて適宜選択することができ、例えば、二条大麦、四条大麦、六条大麦、裸麦などが挙げられる」と記載されている。特許文献1の実施例ではこれらのうち二条大麦のみを用いている。
しかしながら、二条大麦の茎葉を用いた乳酸菌増殖用組成物による乳酸菌増殖効果は、十分なものと言い難い。
As a composition capable of growing lactic acid bacteria inexpensively and simply, the present applicant has previously proposed a composition for growing lactic acid bacteria using barley foliage (Patent Document 1). In Patent Document 1, in paragraph [0013], “the barley variety is not particularly limited and can be appropriately selected according to the purpose. For example, Nijo barley, Shijo barley, Rojo barley, bare barley and the like. Is mentioned. " In the example of Patent Document 1, only Nijo barley is used.
However, it is difficult to say that the effect of growing lactic acid bacteria by the composition for growing lactic acid bacteria using Nijo barley foliage is sufficient.

また、大麦の茎葉は、青汁用の飲食用組成物に用いられる植物素材としても用いられている。青汁用の飲食用組成物は、植物の緑葉を含む、乾燥粉末や搾汁粉末等の様々な加工物とした製品であり、簡易に野菜成分を摂取できる健康食品として利用されている。   In addition, barley stalks and leaves are also used as plant materials used in food and drink compositions for green juice. The composition for eating and drinking for green juice is a product made of various processed products such as dried powder and juiced powder containing green leaves of plants, and is used as a health food that can easily ingest vegetable components.

従来、青汁用の飲食用組成物に用いられる大麦の茎葉としては、二条大麦の茎葉が広く使用されている。また、六条大麦の茎葉を用いた青汁用の飲食用組成物も知られている(特許文献2参照)。更に非特許文献1には、「赤神力」(登録商標)という品種の六条大麦が、葉が大きく肉厚である等の理由から青汁用の飲食用組成物の原料に適している旨が記載されている。   Conventionally, Nijo barley foliage has been widely used as barley foliage used in food and drink compositions for green juice. Moreover, the composition for eating and drinking for green juice using the stem and leaves of Rojo barley is also known (refer patent document 2). Furthermore, Non-Patent Document 1 states that the “Akagami Riki” (registered trademark) varieties of Rokujo barley are suitable as a raw material for food and drink compositions for green juices because of their large leaves and thickness. Have been described.

しかしながら、消費者の間には、青汁用の飲食用組成物について、その味等に関してマイナスイメージが少なからず存在し、大麦の茎葉を用いた青汁用の飲食用組成物についても同様である。大麦の茎葉を用いた青汁用の飲食用組成物について、このようなイメージを払拭するために、緑色を鮮やかにして見た目を美しくし、また、えぐみや苦味、青臭さ等を低下させ、風味を向上させることが求められている。しかしながら、大麦の茎葉を用いた青汁用の飲食用組成物は、色を鮮やかにしようとすると、甘さが低下したり、えぐみが増しやすい傾向があるとの説もあり、このため、従来の大麦の茎葉を用いた青汁用の飲食用組成物は、見た目の美しさと、風味の良好さとを両立させるという点で十分なものではなかった。   However, among consumers, there are not a few negative images regarding the taste and the like of the food and drink composition for green juice, and the same applies to the food and drink composition for green juice using barley stems and leaves. . In order to dispel such an image about the composition for eating and drinking using barley stalks and leaves, the green color is brilliant, the appearance is beautiful, and the taste, bitterness, blue odor, etc. are reduced. It is demanded to improve. However, there is a theory that the composition for eating and drinking green juice using barley stalks and leaves tends to decrease sweetness or tend to increase when it tries to make the color vivid. Conventional food and beverage compositions for barley juice using barley stalks and leaves are not sufficient in terms of achieving both a beautiful appearance and a good flavor.

以下、本発明をその好ましい実施形態に基づき説明する。
本発明の乳酸菌増殖用組成物は、六条大麦の茎及び/又は葉(茎葉)を原料の一つとして用いている。六条大麦の品種としては様々なものがあることが知られているところ、本発明の乳酸菌増殖用組成物は、特定品種の六条大麦の茎葉を用いていることが好ましい。ここでいう特定品種とは、倍取、シルキースノウ、イチバンボシ、はがねむぎ、カシマゴール、シュンライ及びファイバースノウの7品種である。これらの品種の六条大麦は、例えば精麦用として、具体的には、麦味噌や麦茶等の原料として一般的に用いられているものであるが、乳酸菌増殖用組成物の原料としてはこれまで用いられていなかった。本発明の乳酸菌増殖用組成物が、これら7品種のいずれかを用いる場合、7品種のうち1種を単独で、又は2種以上を組み合わせて用いることができる。
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described based on preferred embodiments thereof.
The composition for growing lactic acid bacteria of the present invention uses stalks and / or leaves (stems and leaves) of Rokujo barley as one of the raw materials. Since it is known that there are various kinds of varieties of Rojo barley, it is preferable that the composition for growing lactic acid bacteria of the present invention uses the stems and leaves of the specific varieties of Rojo. The specific varieties mentioned here are seven varieties, namely, Bait, Silky Snow, Ichibanboshi, Hanemugi, Kashimagoru, Shunrai, and Fiber Snow. Six varieties of barley of these varieties are commonly used as raw materials for barley miso, barley tea, etc., for example, but have been used as raw materials for lactic acid bacteria growth compositions. It was not done. When the composition for growing lactic acid bacteria of the present invention uses any of these seven varieties, one of the seven varieties can be used alone, or two or more can be used in combination.

前記乳酸菌増殖用組成物は、六条大麦の茎葉の加工物、特に特定品種の六条大麦の茎葉の加工物を含有することによって、乳酸菌を良好に増殖させることができる。特に、前記特定品種として、倍取、シルキースノウ、イチバンボシ、はがねむぎ、カシマゴール、シュンライ及びファイバースノウから選ばれる少なくとも1の品種を用いると、一層良好に、乳酸菌を増殖させることができる。   The composition for growing lactic acid bacteria can proliferate lactic acid bacteria satisfactorily by containing a processed product of stalks and leaves of Rojo barley, particularly a processed product of stalks and leaves of a specific variety of Rojo. In particular, when at least one variety selected from doubling, silky snow, ichibanboshi, hanagimugi, kashimagoru, shung rai and fiber snow is used as the specific cultivar, lactic acid bacteria can be propagated better.

前記の特定品種の大麦の茎葉は、成熟期前、すなわち分けつ開始期から出穂開始前期に収穫されることが好ましい。具体的には、品種の違いによっても異なるが、一般に、背丈が10cm以上、好ましくは10〜90cm、より好ましくは30〜60cm程度である大麦から、若い茎葉を収穫することが好ましいが、これらに限定されるものではない。大麦の茎葉は、収穫後、直ちに処理されることが好ましい。処理までに時間を要する場合、大麦の茎葉の変質を防ぐために低温貯蔵などの当業者が通常用いる貯蔵手段により貯蔵される。   The barley stalks and leaves of the specific varieties are preferably harvested before the maturity period, that is, from the beginning of the splitting to the early stage of heading. Specifically, although it varies depending on the variety, it is generally preferable to harvest young foliage from barley having a height of 10 cm or more, preferably 10 to 90 cm, more preferably about 30 to 60 cm. It is not limited. Barley foliage is preferably processed immediately after harvesting. When processing takes time, it is stored by storage means commonly used by those skilled in the art, such as low-temperature storage, to prevent barley foliage alteration.

本発明の乳酸菌増殖用組成物は、前記の特定品種の六条大麦の茎葉として、該茎葉から得られる各種の加工物を用いることができる。そのような加工物としては、例えば、茎葉の乾燥粉末、茎葉の細片化物及びその乾燥粉末、茎葉の搾汁及びその乾燥粉末、茎葉のエキス及びその乾燥粉末等が挙げられる。   In the composition for growing lactic acid bacteria of the present invention, various processed products obtained from the foliage can be used as the foliage of the above-mentioned specific variety of six-row barley. Examples of such processed products include dried powder of foliage, fragmented foliage and dried powder thereof, squeezed and dried powder of foliage, extract of foliage and dried powder thereof, and the like.

例えば、大麦の茎葉を乾燥粉末化するには従来公知の方法を用いることができる。そのような方法としては、大麦の茎葉に対して、乾燥処理及び粉砕処理を組み合わせた方法を用いることができる。乾燥処理及び粉砕処理はいずれを先に行ってもよいが、乾燥処理を先に行うことが好ましい。乾燥粉末化は、この方法に、更に必要に応じブランチング処理、殺菌処理などの処理から選ばれる1種又は2種以上の処理を組み合わせてもよい。また、粉砕処理を行う回数は1回でも、2回以上の処理を組合せてもよいが、粗粉砕処理を行った後に、より細かく粉砕する微粉砕処理を組合せることが好ましい。
ブランチング処理とは、茎葉の緑色を鮮やかに保つための処理であり、ブランチング処理の方法としては、熱水処理や蒸煮処理などが挙げられる。ブランチング処理は、80〜100℃、好ましくは90〜100℃の熱水または水蒸気中で、茎葉を60〜180秒間、好ましくは90〜120秒間処理することが好ましい。また、ブランチング処理として熱水処理を行う場合、熱水中に炭酸マグネシウムなどの炭酸塩や炭酸水素ナトリウムなどの炭酸水素塩を溶解させておくことで、茎葉の緑色をより鮮やかにすることができるため、好ましい。また、蒸煮処理としては、常圧または加圧下において、茎葉を水蒸気により蒸煮する処理と冷却する処理とを繰り返す間歇的蒸煮処理が好ましい。間歇的蒸煮処理において、水蒸気により蒸煮する処理は、好ましくは20〜40秒間、より好ましくは30秒間行われる。蒸煮処理後の冷却処理は、直ちに行われることが好ましく、その方法は、特に制限しないが、冷水への浸漬、冷蔵、冷風による冷却、温風による気化冷却、温風と冷風を組み合わせた気化冷却などが用いられる。このうち温風と冷風を組み合わせた気化冷却が好ましい。このような冷却処理は、茎葉の品温が、好ましくは60℃以下、より好ましくは50℃以下、最も好ましくは40℃以下となるように行われる。また、ビタミン、ミネラル、葉緑素などの栄養成分に富んだ茎葉の粉末を製造するためには、間歇的蒸煮処理を2〜5回繰り返すことが好ましい。
また、殺菌処理とは、通常、温度・圧力・電磁波・薬剤等を用いて物理的・化学的に微生物細胞を殺滅させる処理である。乾燥処理及び粉砕処理に追加してブランチング処理を行う場合、ブランチング処理は乾燥処理の前に行われることが好ましい。また乾燥処理及び粉砕処理に追加して殺菌処理を行う場合、殺菌処理は、乾燥処理の後か、粉砕処理の前又は後に行われることが好ましい。
また、乾燥処理としては、茎葉の水分含量が10%以下、特に5%以下となるように乾燥する処理であることが好ましい。この乾燥処理は、例えば、熱風乾燥、高圧蒸気乾燥、電磁波乾燥、凍結乾燥などの当業者に公知の任意の方法により行われ得る。加熱による乾燥は、好ましくは40℃〜140℃、より好ましくは80〜130℃にて加温により茎葉が変色しない温度及び時間で行われうる。
また、粉砕処理としては、クラッシャー、ミル、ブレンダー、石臼などを用いて当業者が通常使用する任意の方法により粉砕する処理が挙げられる。粉砕された茎葉は必要に応じて篩にかけられ、例えば、30〜250メッシュを通過するものを茎葉の粉末として用いることが好ましい。粒径が250メッシュ通過のもの以下とすることで、茎葉の粉末のさらなる加工時に取り扱いやすく、粒径が30メッシュ通過以上のものとすることで、茎葉の粉末と他の素材との均一な混合が容易である。
For example, a conventionally known method can be used to dry barley stalks and leaves. As such a method, a method combining drying treatment and pulverization treatment on barley foliage can be used. Either the drying process or the pulverization process may be performed first, but the drying process is preferably performed first. Dry powdering may be combined with one or more treatments selected from treatments such as blanching treatment and sterilization treatment, if necessary. In addition, the number of times of pulverization may be one time or a combination of two or more processes, but it is preferable to combine a fine pulverization process that finely pulverizes after the coarse pulverization process.
The blanching process is a process for keeping the green color of the foliage vivid, and examples of the blanching process include a hot water process and a steaming process. In the blanching treatment, the foliage is preferably treated in hot water or steam at 80 to 100 ° C., preferably 90 to 100 ° C. for 60 to 180 seconds, preferably 90 to 120 seconds. In addition, when performing hydrothermal treatment as a blanching treatment, the green color of the foliage can be made more vivid by dissolving carbonates such as magnesium carbonate and bicarbonates such as sodium bicarbonate in hot water. This is preferable because it is possible. Moreover, as a steaming process, the intermittent steaming process which repeats the process which steams the foliage with water vapor | steam, and the process which cools under normal pressure or pressurization is preferable. In the intermittent steaming process, the steaming process is preferably performed for 20 to 40 seconds, more preferably 30 seconds. The cooling treatment after the steaming treatment is preferably performed immediately, and the method is not particularly limited, but the method is not particularly limited, soaking in cold water, refrigeration, cooling with cold air, evaporative cooling with hot air, evaporative cooling combining hot air and cold air Etc. are used. Among these, evaporative cooling combining hot air and cold air is preferable. Such cooling treatment is performed so that the temperature of the foliage is preferably 60 ° C. or lower, more preferably 50 ° C. or lower, and most preferably 40 ° C. or lower. Moreover, in order to produce a foliage powder rich in nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, and chlorophyll, it is preferable to repeat the intermittent steaming treatment 2 to 5 times.
The sterilization treatment is usually a treatment for physically and chemically killing microbial cells using temperature, pressure, electromagnetic waves, chemicals and the like. When the branching process is performed in addition to the drying process and the pulverization process, the branching process is preferably performed before the drying process. Moreover, when performing a sterilization treatment in addition to the drying treatment and the pulverization treatment, the sterilization treatment is preferably performed after the drying treatment or before or after the pulverization treatment.
Further, the drying treatment is preferably a treatment for drying so that the moisture content of the foliage is 10% or less, particularly 5% or less. This drying treatment can be performed by any method known to those skilled in the art, such as hot air drying, high pressure steam drying, electromagnetic wave drying, freeze drying, and the like. Drying by heating can be carried out at a temperature and a time at which the foliage is not discolored by heating, preferably at 40 to 140 ° C, more preferably at 80 to 130 ° C.
Moreover, as a grinding | pulverization process, the process grind | pulverized by the arbitrary methods normally used by those skilled in the art using a crusher, a mill, a blender, a mortar, etc. is mentioned. The crushed foliage is sieved as necessary. For example, it is preferable to use a powder that passes through 30 to 250 mesh as a foliage powder. By making the particle size below 250 mesh, it is easy to handle at the time of further processing of the foliage powder, and by making the particle size above 30 mesh, the foliage powder and other materials are evenly mixed Is easy.

具体的な乾燥粉末化の方法としては、例えば、大麦の茎葉を切断した後、ブランチング処理を行い、次いで水分含量が10質量%以下、好ましくは5質量%以下となるように乾燥し、その後粉砕する方法が挙げられる(特開2004−000210号を公報参照)。また例えば、大麦の茎葉を切断した後、ブランチング処理を行い、次いで揉捻し、その後、乾燥し、粉砕する方法(特開2002−065204号公報を参照)も挙げられる。また例えば、大麦の茎葉を乾燥し、粗粉砕した後、110℃以上で加熱し、更に微粉砕する方法(特開2003−033151号公報を参照)も挙げられる。   As a specific dry powdering method, for example, after cutting barley foliage, it is subjected to a blanching treatment, and then dried so that the water content is 10% by mass or less, preferably 5% by mass or less. A method of pulverizing can be mentioned (see JP 2004000210 A). Further, for example, there is a method (see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-0665204) in which barley stalks and leaves are cut, then blanched, then twisted, then dried and pulverized. Further, for example, there may be mentioned a method in which barley foliage is dried and coarsely pulverized, then heated at 110 ° C. or higher, and further finely pulverized (see JP 2003-033151 A).

大麦の茎葉を細片化する方法としては、スライス、破砕、細断等、当業者が植物体を細片化する際に通常使用する方法を用いることができる。細片化の一例として、スラリー化してもよい。スラリー化は、大麦の茎葉をミキサー、ジューサー、ブレンダー、マスコロイダーなどにかけ、大麦の茎葉をどろどろした粥状(液体と固体の懸濁液)にすることにより行う。このようにスラリー化することにより、茎葉は、細片の80質量%以上が好ましくは平均径1mm以下、より好ましくは0.5mm以下、一層好ましくは0.1mm以下、最も好ましくは0.05mm以下となるように細片化され、流動性を有するようになる。   As a method for fragmenting barley stalks and leaves, methods commonly used by those skilled in the art to fragment plant bodies, such as slicing, crushing, and chopping, can be used. As an example of fragmentation, a slurry may be used. Slurry is performed by putting barley stalks and leaves in a mixer, juicer, blender, mascolloider, etc., and making barley stalks and leaves into a cocoon (liquid and solid suspension). By slurrying in this way, the foliage is preferably 80% by mass or more of the fine pieces, preferably having an average diameter of 1 mm or less, more preferably 0.5 mm or less, more preferably 0.1 mm or less, and most preferably 0.05 mm or less. And is fluidized.

大麦の茎葉を搾汁する方法としては、大麦の茎葉又はその細片化物を圧搾するか、又は、大麦の茎葉の細片化物を遠心又はろ過する方法を挙げることができる。代表的な例としては、ミキサー、ジューサー、等の機械的破砕手段によって搾汁し、必要に応じて、篩別、濾過等の手段によって粗固形分を除去することにより搾汁液を得る方法があげられ、具体的には、特開平08-245408号公報や特開平09-047252号公報に記載の方法が挙げられる。
また、大麦の茎葉のエキスを得る方法としては、大麦の茎葉又はその細片化物に、エタノール、水、含水エタノールなどの当業者が通常用いる抽出溶媒を加え、必要に応じて加温して抽出する方法を挙げることができる。抽出物は、必要に応じて濃縮してもよい。
Examples of the method of squeezing barley foliage include a method of squeezing barley foliage or a fragment thereof, or centrifuging or filtering a barley foliage fragment. A typical example is a method of obtaining a juice by squeezing with a mechanical crushing means such as a mixer or a juicer, and removing a crude solid by means of sieving or filtration, if necessary. Specifically, the methods described in JP-A Nos. 08-245408 and 09-047252 can be mentioned.
In addition, as a method for obtaining an extract of barley foliage, an extraction solvent usually used by those skilled in the art, such as ethanol, water, hydrous ethanol, etc., is added to barley foliage or a fragmented product thereof, and heated and extracted as necessary.

(Creation of powder sample medium for lactic acid bacteria)
A powder sample (0.1 g) was placed in a 50 ml conical tube and suspended in 50 ml of phosphate buffered saline (PBS) prepared according to food hygiene inspection guidelines. 0.5 ml of this suspension was taken and diluted with 9.5 ml PBS to obtain PBS having a powder sample content of 0.01% by mass (hereinafter also referred to as “0.01% oat added PBS”). . 3 ml of this 0.01% oat-added PBS was placed in a test tube, and 6 ml of PBS was added thereto to obtain a PBS having a powder sample content of 0.0033% by mass (0.0033% oat-added PBS). This was sterilized in an autoclave at 121 ° C. for 20 minutes to obtain a medium containing a powder sample for lactic acid bacteria.

(乳酸菌の培養)
乳酸菌として、CELL BIOTECH製 Streptococcus faecalisの乾燥菌体(白色微粉末) 5×1011個/gを使用した。この乾燥菌体1gを50ml遠沈管にとり、PBS10mlで懸濁させた。この懸濁液を乳酸菌数の理論値が102個/ml(1×10-9g/ml)となるまで段階希釈したもの1mlを、前記で得られた乳酸菌用の粉末試料入り培地9mlに添加し、35℃、48hrの条件で静置培養を行った。これらの培養液について、培養開始より0、24、48hr時点におけるCFU測定を行った。CFU測定は、具体的には、BCP培地の寒天プレートに各培養時点の培養液100μlを付したものを、35℃で24時間インキュベートした後、コロニー数を計数することによって行った。
(Cultivation of lactic acid bacteria)
As lactic acid bacteria, 5 × 10 11 cells / g of dry cells (white fine powder) of Streptococcus faecalis manufactured by CELL BIOTECH were used. 1 g of this dried cell was taken in a 50 ml centrifuge tube and suspended in 10 ml of PBS. 1 ml of this suspension obtained by serial dilution until the theoretical value of the number of lactic acid bacteria is 10 2 / ml (1 × 10 −9 g / ml) is added to 9 ml of the medium containing the powder sample for lactic acid bacteria obtained above. Then, static culture was performed under conditions of 35 ° C. and 48 hours. For these culture solutions, CFU measurement was performed at 0, 24, and 48 hours from the start of culture. Specifically, CFU measurement was performed by incubating a BCP medium agar plate with 100 μl of the culture solution at each culture time point at 35 ° C. for 24 hours, and then counting the number of colonies.

コロニー数の計数に用いたプレートの写真を図1に示す。また、得られたCFU値(cfu/g)の平均値を、乳酸菌数として下記の表2に示す。具体的には、実施例1及び2につ
いては上記静置培養を三連で行い、該三連で行った静置培養のそれぞれで得られた培養液についてCFU測定を二連で行った計六連の平均値を示し、実施例6及び7並びに比較例9及び10については上記静置培養を一連で行い、得られた培養液のCFU測定を二連で行った計二連の平均値を示す。表3及び図1における参考例1は、陰性コントロールとして、PBS1mlを、乳酸菌用培地9mlに添加して同様に静置培養したものについて、同様のCFU測定を行った結果である。
A photograph of the plate used for counting the number of colonies is shown in FIG. The average value of the obtained CFU values (cfu / g) is shown in Table 2 below as the number of lactic acid bacteria. Specifically, in Examples 1 and 2, the above static culture was performed in triplicate, and the culture solution obtained in each of the static cultures performed in triplicate was subjected to CFU measurement in duplicate for a total of six series. In Examples 6 and 7 and Comparative Examples 9 and 10, the above static culture was performed in series, and the CFU measurement of the obtained culture solution was performed in duplicate. . Reference Example 1 in Table 3 and FIG. 1 shows the result of the same CFU measurement for a negative control in which 1 ml of PBS was added to 9 ml of a medium for lactic acid bacteria and the mixture was statically cultured in the same manner.

表2及び図1に示す結果から、六条大麦の茎葉の加工物である各実施例の粉末試料を用いて乳酸菌を培養すると、乳酸菌が良好に増殖することが判る。これに比べて、二条大麦の茎葉の加工物である各比較例の粉末試料を用いて乳酸菌を培養した場合、増殖しにくいことが判る。   From the results shown in Table 2 and FIG. 1, it can be seen that when lactic acid bacteria are cultured using the powder samples of each Example, which is a processed product of six-row barley stalks and leaves, the lactic acid bacteria grow well. Compared with this, when lactic acid bacteria are cultured using the powder sample of each comparative example which is a processed product of Nijo barley foliage, it turns out that it is hard to proliferate.

更に、実施例5、8、9及び比較例9で得られた茎葉の乾燥粉末試料並びに、実施例2、5、8、9及び比較例9で得られた搾汁試料について、上記<乳酸菌増殖試験1>と同様の<乳酸菌増殖試験2>を実施した。
<乳酸菌増殖試験2>
(乳酸菌用の粉末試料入り培地の作成)
<乳酸菌増殖試験1>と同様にして、粉末試料入り培地を作成した。
(乳酸菌用の搾汁試料入り培地の作成)
PBS10mlに搾汁試料3μlを添加した。搾汁試料のBrix値が10%であり、搾汁試料添加後のPBSの密度が1g/cmと仮定すると、「(3μl×10%)/10ml=0.003%」の計算式から、この培地中の固形分量は0.003質量%と計算された。これをオートクレーブにて121℃、20minの条件で滅菌し、乳酸菌用の粉末試料入り培地を得た。
(乳酸菌の培養)
乳酸菌として、CELL BIOTECH製 Streptococcus faecalisの乾燥菌体(白色微粉末)5×1011個/gを使用した。この乾燥菌体1gを50ml遠沈管にとり、PBS10mlで懸濁させた。この懸濁液を乳酸菌数の理論値が5×10個/mlとなるまで段階希釈した乳酸菌液100μlを、前記で得られた乳酸菌用の粉末試料入り培地9.9ml及び搾汁試料入り培地9.9mlにそれぞれ添加した。これ以外は、<乳酸菌増殖試験1>と同様にして、粉末試料入り培地に乳酸菌を添加した培養液については培養開始より8、24、32及び48hrの各時点におけるCFU測定を行った。また、搾汁試料入り培地に乳酸菌を添加した培養液については、培養開始より24及び48hrの各時点においてCFU測定を行った。これらのCFU測定は、<乳酸菌増殖試験1>と同様の方法で行った。なお各培養液の培養開始0hrのコロニー数は直接測定していないものの、1.6×10cfu/gと考えられる。これは、各培地に添加する前の乳酸菌液(理論値5×10個/ml)のCFU測定をしたところ1.6×10cfu/gであり、前記の各培養液においては、この乳酸菌液を100分の1に希釈しているためである。
Furthermore, for the dried powder samples of the foliage obtained in Examples 5, 8, 9 and Comparative Example 9 and the juice samples obtained in Examples 2, 5, 8, 9 and Comparative Example 9, the above <Lactic Acid Bacteria Growth <Lactic acid bacteria growth test 2> similar to Test 1> was performed.
<Lactic acid bacteria growth test 2>
(Creation of powder sample medium for lactic acid bacteria)
A medium containing a powder sample was prepared in the same manner as in <Lactic acid bacteria growth test 1>.
(Preparation of culture medium with juice sample for lactic acid bacteria)
3 μl of squeezed sample was added to 10 ml of PBS. Assuming that the Brix value of the squeezed sample is 10% and the density of the PBS after adding the squeezed sample is 1 g / cm 3 , the calculation formula “(3 μl × 10%) / 10 ml = 0.003%” The solid content in this medium was calculated to be 0.003% by mass. This was sterilized in an autoclave at 121 ° C. for 20 minutes to obtain a medium containing a powder sample for lactic acid bacteria.
(Cultivation of lactic acid bacteria)
As lactic acid bacteria, 5 × 10 11 cells / g of dry cells (white fine powder) of Streptococcus faecalis manufactured by CELL BIOTECH were used. 1 g of this dried cell was taken in a 50 ml centrifuge tube and suspended in 10 ml of PBS. 100 μl of the lactic acid bacteria solution obtained by serially diluting this suspension until the theoretical value of the number of lactic acid bacteria becomes 5 × 10 3 cells / ml, 9.9 ml of the powdered sample medium for lactic acid bacteria obtained above and the medium containing the juice sample Each was added to 9.9 ml. Except for this, in the same manner as in <Lactic acid bacteria growth test 1>, the CFU measurement was performed at 8, 24, 32, and 48 hr from the start of the culture for the culture solution in which lactic acid bacteria were added to the powder sample-containing medium. Moreover, about the culture solution which added the lactic acid bacteria to the culture medium containing a squeezed sample, CFU measurement was performed at each time point of 24 and 48 hr from the start of culture. These CFU measurements were performed in the same manner as in <Lactic acid bacteria growth test 1>. Although the number of colonies at 0 hr after the start of culture in each culture solution is not directly measured, it is considered to be 1.6 × 10 3 cfu / g. This is 1.6 × 10 5 cfu / g when the CFU measurement of the lactic acid bacteria solution (theoretical value 5 × 10 3 cells / ml) before being added to each medium is 1.6 × 10 5 cfu / g. This is because the lactic acid bacteria solution is diluted to 1/100.

表3に示す結果から、六条大麦の茎葉の加工物として、茎葉の乾燥粉末を用いた場合だけでなく茎葉の搾汁を用いて乳酸菌を培養した場合においても、二条大麦の加工物である比較例の搾汁試料を用いた場合に比べて、乳酸菌を良好に増殖させることができることが判る。   From the results shown in Table 3, as a processed product of stalks and leaves of Rojo barley, not only when using dry powder of stalks and leaves, but also when cultivating lactic acid bacteria using squeezed leaves and leaves, a comparison of processed products of Nijo barley It can be seen that lactic acid bacteria can be propagated better compared to the case of using the squeezed sample of the example.

The 10 test subjects were asked whether each of the samples of Examples 1 to 5 and Comparative Examples 1 to 8 was brighter than the sample of Comparative Example 9 as a standard product. The number of people who answered that “green is brighter than the standard product” for each sample is shown in the graph of FIG. 2 as an evaluation point of color vividness. As shown in FIG. 2, Rojo Barley (Examples 1 to 5 and Comparative Example 1) has a brighter color and higher palatability than Nijo Barley (Comparative Examples 2 to 8 and Comparative Example 9). I understand.

(2)評価例2−2(えぐみの弱さ及び甘さ)
前記の10名の被験者に、実施例1〜5及び比較例1〜8の各サンプルを、標準品である比較例9のサンプルと飲み比べさせ、標準品と比べて「えぐみが弱い」、甘いと感じるか否かについて、それぞれ答えさせた。各サンプルについての「標準品に比べてえぐみが弱い」、「標準品よりも甘い」とそれぞれ答えた人の数を、えぐみの弱さ、甘さの評価点として、図3のグラフに示す。図3に示すように、特定の六条大麦(実施例1〜5)は、従来から青汁に使用されている六条大麦(比較例1)及び二条大麦(比較例9)、並びにその他の二条大麦(比較例2〜8)と比べて、えぐみが弱く、甘いことから、飲みやすく嗜好性が高いことが判る。
(2) Evaluation example 2-2 (weakness and sweetness of egumi)
The 10 subjects were allowed to compare each sample of Examples 1 to 5 and Comparative Examples 1 to 8 with the sample of Comparative Example 9 which is a standard product, and "Egumi is weak" compared to the standard product, I asked them whether they felt sweet or not. For each sample, the number of people who answered that “Egumi is weaker than the standard product” and “Sweet than the standard product” is shown in the graph of FIG. Show. As shown in FIG. 3, specific six-row barley (Examples 1 to 5) includes six-row barley (Comparative Example 1) and two-row barley (Comparative Example 9) conventionally used in green juice, and other two-row barley. Compared with (Comparative Examples 2-8), it is understood that it is easy to drink and has high palatability because it is weak and sweet.

(3)評価例2−3(えぐみの弱さ及び美味しさ)
前記の10名の被験者に、実施例1〜5及び比較例1〜8の各サンプルを、標準品である比較例9のサンプルと飲み比べさせ、標準品と比べて、「えぐみが弱い」、「また飲みたい」と感じるか否かについて、それぞれ答えさせた。各サンプルについての「標準品に比べてえぐみが弱い」、「標準品に比べてまた飲みたい」とそれぞれ答えた人の数を、えぐみの弱さ、美味しさの評価点として、図4のグラフに示す。図4に示すように、特定の六条大麦(実施例1〜5)は、従来から青汁に使用されている六条大麦(比較例1)及び二条大麦(比較例9)、並びにその他の二条大麦(比較例2〜8)と比べて、えぐみが弱く、美味しいことから、飲みやすく嗜好性が高いことが判る。
(3) Evaluation example 2-3 (weakness and deliciousness of egumi)
The 10 subjects were allowed to drink and compare each of the samples of Examples 1 to 5 and Comparative Examples 1 to 8 with the sample of Comparative Example 9 which is a standard product. I asked them to answer whether they felt “I want to drink again”. For each sample, the number of respondents who answered that “Egumi is weaker than the standard product” and “I want to drink again compared to the standard product” is shown in FIG. This is shown in the graph. As shown in FIG. 4, specific six-row barley (Examples 1 to 5) includes six-row barley (Comparative Example 1) and two-row barley (Comparative Example 9) conventionally used in green juice, and other two-row barley. Compared to (Comparative Examples 2 to 8), it is clear that it is easy to drink and has high palatability because it is weak and delicious.

図2ないし図4の結果から明らかな通り、六条大麦として倍取、シルキースノウ、サヌキハダカ、ダイシモチ及びイチバンボシを用いた各実施例の粉末試料は、水と混合した時の緑色の鮮やかさに優れるだけでなく、えぐみが弱く且つ甘さが強いという点でも優れ、また、えぐみが弱く且つ美味しいという点でも優れていることが判る。これに対して、二条大麦を用いた各比較例の粉末試料は、色の鮮やかさの点、えぐみが弱く且つ甘いという点、及びえぐみが弱く且つ美味しいという点のいずれにおいても、各実施例の粉末試料に劣っていることが判る。また、六条大麦「赤神力」を用いた比較例の粉末試料は、色の鮮やかさは、各実施例の粉末試料と同等ではあるものの、えぐみが弱く且つ甘さが強いという点や、えぐみが弱く且つ美味しいという点で劣っていることが判る。よって、六条大麦の中でも、倍取、シルキースノウ、サヌキハダカ、ダイシモチ及びイチバンボシを用いることで、見た目及び味に優れ、風味が良好で嗜好性の高い青汁用の飲食用組成物を得ることが可能である。   As is apparent from the results of FIGS. 2 to 4, the powder samples of each example using doubling, silky snow, sanukihadaka, daishimochi and ichibanboshi as Rokujo barley are excellent in green vividness when mixed with water. In addition, it is excellent in that it is weak and sweet, and it is also excellent in that it is weak and delicious. On the other hand, the powder samples of each comparative example using Nijo barley were each implemented in terms of vividness of color, weakness of sweetness and sweetness, and weakness of sweetness and deliciousness. It turns out to be inferior to the example powder sample. In addition, the powder sample of the comparative example using Rokujo barley “Akagami Riki” has the same vividness as the powder sample of each example, but it is weak in sweetness and strong in sweetness. It turns out that it is inferior in that it is weak and delicious. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a food / beverage composition for green juice with excellent appearance and taste, good flavor, and high palatability by using doubling, silky snow, sanukihadaka, daishimochi and ichibanboshi among the six bars. It is.

[Evaluation Example 3]
Each sample was obtained by mixing 1.8 g of powder samples of Examples 1, 2, 6, 7 and Comparative Examples 9 to 13 with 100 ml of water.
Ten healthy adults were randomly selected as subjects. The sensory evaluation of the following (4) to (6) was performed on these 10 subjects.
(4) Evaluation example 3-1 (weakness of blue odor)
The 10 subjects were allowed to drink and compare each of the samples of Examples 1, 2, 6, 7 and Comparative Examples 10 to 13 with the sample of Comparative Example 9, which was a standard product, and had a blue odor compared to the standard product. I was asked whether I felt weak or not. The number of people who answered that “blue-blue odor is weaker than that of the standard product” for each sample is shown in the graph of FIG. 5 as an evaluation point for the weakness of blue odor.

(5)評価例3−2(甘みの強さ)
前記の10名の被験者に、実施例1、2、6、7及び比較例10〜13の各サンプルを標準品である比較例9のサンプルと飲み比べさせ、標準品と比べて、甘みが強いと感じるか否かを答えさせた。各サンプルについて「標準品と比べて甘みが強い」と答えた人の数を、甘みの強さの評価点として、図5のグラフに示す。

The 10 subjects were allowed to drink and compare each sample of Examples 1, 2, 6, 7 and Comparative Examples 10 to 13 with the sample of Comparative Example 9, which is a standard product. I answered whether or not I felt. The number of people who answered “delicious compared to the standard product” for each sample is shown in the graph of FIG.

図5の結果から明らかな通り、六条大麦として倍取、シルキースノウ、はがねむぎ及びカシマゴールを用いた各実施例の粉末試料は、青臭さの弱さ、甘みの強さ、美味しさの各項目の評価点の合計が20点以上であり、風味が良好で、嗜好性が高いことが判る。これに対して、二条大麦を用いた比較例10〜13の粉末試料は、前記の各項目の評価点の合計が15点未満であり、風味の点で、各実施例の粉末試料に劣ることが判る。よって、六条大麦の中でも、倍取、シルキースノウ、はがねむぎ及びカシマゴールを用いることで、風味が良好で嗜好性の高い青汁用の飲食用組成物を得ることが可能である。   As is clear from the results of FIG. 5, the powder samples of each example using double harvesting, silky snow, haganemugi, and kashimagoru as six-row barley have low blue odor, sweetness, and deliciousness. It can be seen that the total evaluation score of each item is 20 points or more, the flavor is good, and the palatability is high. In contrast, the powder samples of Comparative Examples 10 to 13 using Nijo barley have a total of less than 15 evaluation points for each of the above items, and are inferior to the powder samples of each Example in terms of flavor. I understand. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a food and drink composition for green juice having a good flavor and high palatability by using doubling, silky snow, aganemugi and Kashimagoru among the six bars.
