原料タンパク質が乳清や乳漿のような水溶液の場合、そのままで、あるいは濃縮または希釈して酵素反応に供すればよく、必要に応じpH調整等をすることができる。原料タンパク質が紛体等の固形物の場合、酵素反応が進行する限りいずれの水系溶媒に溶解させてもかまわないが、食品としての利用を考慮し、水または食品添加物グレードの緩衝液に溶解させることが好ましい。酵素反応で生じたアミノ酸により反応液のpHが変化しないようにするため緩衝液を使用することが好ましい。緩衝液の種類は任意であり、その後の利用や風味・味覚・ミネラル量を考慮して決定すればよいが、反応液のpHを4~9、好ましくは5~8、より好ましくは7~8に維持できるような組成が好ましい。最も好ましくはリン酸カリウム緩衝液である。緩衝液の濃度は緩衝効果が得られる範囲であれば任意であるが、風味・味覚・ミネラル量を考慮すると、0.01~0.5Mとすることができ、好ましくは0.05~0.2Mであり、より好ましくは約0.1Mである。 When the starting protein is an aqueous solution such as whey or whey, it may be subjected to the enzymatic reaction as it is, or after concentration or dilution, and the pH may be adjusted as necessary. If the raw material protein is solid such as powder, it can be dissolved in any aqueous solvent as long as the enzymatic reaction proceeds. is preferred. It is preferable to use a buffer solution in order to prevent the pH of the reaction solution from being changed by the amino acid produced by the enzymatic reaction. The type of buffer solution is arbitrary, and may be determined in consideration of subsequent use, flavor, taste, and mineral content. A composition that can be maintained at Potassium phosphate buffer is most preferred.

That is, the enzymatic reaction temperature can be, for example, 30 to 70°C, preferably 40 to 70°C, more preferably 45 to 65°C. The enzymatic reaction time can be 1 to 12 hours, preferably 2 to 10 hours, more preferably 4 to 5 hours.

例2:ホエイ分解物の脳血流改善効果の確認
(1)試験の概要
例2では、ホエイ分解物が脳負荷時の脳血流に及ぼす効果を検証する試験を実施した。本試験は、プラセボを対照とした無作為化二重盲検並行群間比較試験とした。試験期間は6週間とし、試験期間中は試験食品または対照食品を摂取させた。具体的には、物忘れや間違いの多さなどの脳の衰えを自覚している50歳以上75歳以下の認知症を有さない健康な男女に試験食品として「ホエイ分解物含有タブレット」を、対照食品として「ホエイ分解物非含有タブレット」をそれぞれ摂取させて、ホエイ分解物の脳血流への効果を確認した。
Example 2 Confirmation of Cerebral Blood Flow Improving Effect of Whey Decomposition Products (1) Outline of Test In Example 2, a test was conducted to verify the effect of whey decomposition products on cerebral blood flow during brain stress. This study was a randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled study. The test period was 6 weeks, and the test food or control food was ingested during the test period. Specifically, healthy men and women between the ages of 50 and 75 who do not have dementia and who are aware of brain decline such as forgetfulness and frequent mistakes were given "tablets containing whey decomposition products" as test foods. As a control food, "tablets not containing whey hydrolyzate" were given, and the effect of whey hydrolyzate on cerebral blood flow was confirmed.
(2)被験者
事前検査において医師から健常と判断された者を試験食品群(57名)と対照食品群(57名)に無作為に割付けた。解析対象者は、試験食品群では53名(男性20名、女性33名)、対照食品群では51名(男性17名、女性34名)であり、解析対象者の年齢(平均値±標準偏差)は試験食品群が61.2±5.6歳、対照食品群が60.7±5.7歳であった。被験者には試験期間中は試験期間前と同様の生活を継続させた。
(2) Subjects Subjects judged to be healthy by a doctor in a preliminary examination were randomly assigned to a test food group (57 persons) and a control food group (57 persons). There were 53 subjects (20 men, 33 women) in the test food group and 51 subjects (17 men, 34 women) in the control food group. ) was 61.2±5.6 years old in the test food group and 60.7±5.7 years old in the control food group. The subjects were allowed to continue the same lifestyle as before the test period during the test period.
(3)被験食品
試験期間中(6週間)、試験食品群には6粒の試験食品を、対照食品群には6粒の対照食品を1日1回水またはぬるま湯とともに毎日摂取させた。試験食品としては例1(1)で製造した「ホエイ分解物含有タブレット」(タブレット1粒(300mg)中にホエイ分解物を168mg含有する)を用いた。また、対照食品としてはホエイ分解物に代えてマルトデキストリンを168mg配合する以外は例1(1)と同様の方法で製造した、ホエイ分解物非含有タブレットを用いた。
(3) Test food During the test period (6 weeks), the test food group was given 6 tablets of the test food, and the control food group was given 6 tablets of the control food once a day with water or lukewarm water every day. As the test food, the "whey decomposition product-containing tablet" produced in Example 1 (1) (one tablet (300 mg) contains 168 mg of whey decomposition product) was used. As a control food, a whey hydrolyzate-free tablet produced in the same manner as in Example 1 (1) except that 168 mg of maltodextrin was blended instead of the whey hydrolyzate was used.
(4)測定
ア 測定項目
測定項目は、以下の項目とした。
・近赤外線分光法(NIRS法)による脳血流量測定
(4) Measurement a. Measurement items The measurement items were as follows.
・Cerebral blood flow measurement by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS method)
イ 測定時期
6週間の摂取終了後の時点で、対象の脳血流測定を実施した。
B. Time of Measurement Cerebral blood flow was measured in the subjects after 6 weeks of ingestion.
ウ 測定方法
(i)脳血流変化量測定
負荷課題実施中の前頭葉の脳血流変化をNIRS法により測定した。NIRS法は、近赤外分光法を利用してヘモグロビンの濃度変化を測定することにより脳血流変化量を評価する方法である。本試験では、NeU社製HOT-1000を用い、総ヘモグロビン(total-Hb)濃度を計測することにより脳血流変化量を評価した。プローブは脳波測定の国際10-20法におけるFp1, Fp2位に設置した。計測は0.1秒毎に行い、1秒の移動平均処理を行った。被験者には5分間の安静の後、負荷課題を実施させた。各負荷課題の前に10秒のレスト時間を設け、レスト時間5~10秒の間のtotal-Hb濃度平均値をベースライン値とした。ベースライン値に対する負荷課題中のtotal-Hb濃度の変化量を算出することにより、負荷課題中の脳血流変化量を評価した。
C. Measurement method (i) Measurement of changes in cerebral blood flow Changes in cerebral blood flow in the frontal lobe during the load task were measured by the NIRS method. The NIRS method is a method for evaluating changes in cerebral blood flow by measuring changes in hemoglobin concentration using near-infrared spectroscopy. In this test, changes in cerebral blood flow were evaluated by measuring total hemoglobin (total-Hb) concentration using HOT-1000 manufactured by NeU. The probes were placed at positions Fp1 and Fp2 according to the international 10-20 method of electroencephalogram measurement. Measurement was performed every 0.1 seconds, and moving average processing was performed for 1 second. After resting for 5 minutes, the subject was asked to perform a load task. A rest period of 10 seconds was provided before each load task, and the average total-Hb concentration during the rest period of 5 to 10 seconds was used as the baseline value. The change in cerebral blood flow during the stress task was evaluated by calculating the amount of change in the total-Hb concentration during the stress task relative to the baseline value.
(ii)負荷課題
2-backテストはもともと、遂行機能の下位概念であるワーキングメモリを測定する試験であり、被験者には提示された数字がその二つ前に提示されたものと同一であったかどうか判断するものである。被験者には該試験を受けさせることで脳負荷を与えた。
(ii) load task
The 2-back test was originally a test to measure working memory, which is a subordinate concept of executive function, and to judge whether the number presented to the subject was the same as the number presented two years before. . Subjects were subjected to a brain challenge by undergoing the test.
(5)評価と解析
解析対象者全員を対象とし、体動による異常値については当該データを解析から除外した。それぞれの負荷課題中における総ヘモグロビン変化量について、左右別々に算出した。ホエイ分解物含有群とプラセボ群の値の比較を、2標本t検定を用いて行った。p<0.05で有意差有り、p<0.1で有意傾向有りとした。課題中脳血流変化量は以下の式で算出した(レスト時のtotal-Hb濃度平均値はベースライン値である。)。
(5) Evaluation and Analysis All subjects were subject to analysis, and abnormal values due to body movements were excluded from the analysis. The change in total hemoglobin during each load task was calculated separately for the left and right. A comparison of the values of the whey digest containing group and the placebo group was performed using a two-sample t-test. P < 0.05 indicates a significant difference, and p < 0.1 indicates a significant trend. The change in mid-cerebral blood flow during the task was calculated using the following formula (the average total-Hb concentration during rest is the baseline value).
(6)結果
それぞれの負荷課題中の脳血流変化量の測定結果は表2に示される通りであった。
課題移行時における脳血流の変化量は、左前頭葉においてプラセボ群に比しホエイペプチド群で大きく、負荷課題1回目において、群間に有意差が認められた(p=0.046)。また、2回の負荷課題実施時の平均でみると左前頭葉において群間差の有意傾向が認められた(p=0.09)。 The amount of change in cerebral blood flow during the transition to the task was greater in the whey peptide group than in the placebo group in the left frontal lobe, and a significant difference was observed between the groups in the first load task (p=0.046). In addition, when looking at the average of the two loading tasks, there was a tendency for a significant difference between the groups in the left frontal lobe (p=0.09).
以上の結果から、ホエイ分解物含有タブレットを摂取することにより、物忘れや間違いの多さを自覚している被験者において、ワーキングメモリ課題遂行時の脳血流量が亢進することが示された。 From the above results, it was shown that ingestion of whey hydrolyzate-containing tablets increases cerebral blood flow during working memory tasks in subjects who are aware of frequent forgetfulness and mistakes.
