Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain dried bacterial cell having excellent handleability and high preservability, by mixing living bacterial cells with a solution for forming a protective film, pouring the obtained mixture into a coagulation salt solution, separating the obtained coagulum, and drying the product. CONSTITUTION:For example, 5-10pts. of bacterial cells such as cells of bifidus bacteria are mixed with a protective film-forming solution containing 10-50pts. of starch and 0.1-1.0pt. of sodium alginate, and the mixture is poured in a mass into a neutral salt solution for coagulation composed of calcium lactate, calcium chloride, etc. to effect the coagulation of the mixture. The obtained coagulum is taken out of the solution and dried. Preferably, the product is coated with an oil or fat having a melting point of higher than the body temperature to prevent the extermination of the bacteria with gastric juice.

For drying, the bacterial cells isolated from the culture solution can be dried as is, or starch, lactose, sugar, or organic or inorganic salts can be added to them.
Moisture is reduced to 10% by low temperature ventilation drying, vacuum drying or freeze drying.
1. For example, Bifidobacterium, which is thought to be lacking in the adult intestines, can be ingested raw by mixing it with drinks or yogurt, but it can be dried from places that are not suitable for storage and mixed with other foods. This method is widely used, and Japanese Patent Publication No. 58-46293 discloses that a base formulation for tableting containing one or more of starch, starch hydrolyzate or protein with a moisture content of 4% or less and freeze-dried A method for producing a tablet confectionery containing bifidus by mixing 1 bifidus and tableting is disclosed, and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 58-149
Publication No. 67 discloses a method for increasing the survival rate of Bifidobacteria by mixing Bifidobacterial cells and raw starch and freeze-drying the mixture.

The present inventors conducted research to fundamentally solve the drawbacks of the above drying method and obtain a drying box that is easy to handle and has good storage stability. Focusing on the fact that it is better to suspend the bacterial cells in a protective film-forming solution instead of letting them dry and then react with a coagulating salt solution to solidify and form a uniform protective film on the surface of the bacterial cells, we first The body and the protective film forming solution are uniformly mixed, and the mixture is poured into a saline solution for total coagulation to coagulate into a lump.The obtained coagulated product is separated and dried, and if necessary, the melting point is lower than body temperature. They succeeded in developing a method for coating with oils and fats that have a high viscosity, as well as a device suitable for the process.

According to the above configuration, the inside of the storage tank 4 is pressurized by the air compressor 5, so the mixture A is injected from the tip of the nozzle 10, but the amount of injection is controlled by the air compressor 5.
The pressure can be adjusted by adjusting the pressure of the air and the valve 11, but instead of the air compressor 5, a pump or other device capable of adjusting the amount of ejection may be provided in the middle of the pipe 8.

Therefore, the mixture A from the nozzle 10 is always injected under constant conditions, solidifies in a short period of time in the coagulating liquid tank 12, and settles in granular form. At this time, since the solids in mixture A are uniformly suspended in the sodium alginate solution, the particles first come into contact with the calcium ions, instantly forming a complete film, and gradually the calcium ions penetrate inside the body. A film is formed and the whole solidifies.

In order to take out the coagulated particles C2, a screen 1.6 of 24 to 32 meshes is run in a direction perpendicular to the flow of the coagulated liquid B, and the coagulation tank 12 is surrounded by pulleys 17, 1.7... and the screen 16 is discharged. A gutter 18 is provided on the side so that water can be sprayed from a nozzle 19 provided above for cleaning. As a result, the coagulated particles C are washed, and when the screen 6 rotates, the direction changes downward and falls into the container 20, but the coagulated particles C still attached are washed away by the screen 16.

The recovered coagulated particles C contain a large amount of water and have poor preservability if left as is, so they are then dried. For drying, a vacuum drying method, a freeze-drying method, a drying method using an inert gas, etc. can be used, and the moisture content after drying is preferably about 1 to 5 grams.

The granules obtained by the method described in 2 have a structure in which the oil and fat layer in Fig. 3 are excluded, and the surfaces of the granules (a) and starch (b) are coated with a film of alginated calcium (c). It has a structure in which the diameter is swollen to 2 to 3 times the inner diameter of the nozzle 10, but as can be seen from the figure, (as in the conventional case, the bacterial cells and drying aid are mixed together; Since it is complete and uniform, and the coating/zero layer is extremely thin, it has a significantly improved storage capacity, and is easy to handle because it is in a granular form.

Table 1 The granules obtained by the method of the present invention can be taken orally as is, mixed with other foods, and further used for processing other products or for industrial purposes. It is something. After oral extraction, the kudzu body is covered with alginic liquid Cal/Um, so it is unlikely to be killed by gastric juice, but
In order to further reduce mortality, it is desirable to coat the box granules with whole oil and fat. The oil and fat used is a low-melting point oil that is conventionally used for coating modified materials, but cannot be reused, and a unique high-1'X oil that does not dissolve at human body temperature.
It is a hydrogenated oil with an I rating, for example 37°C to 43°C.

Furthermore, when it reaches the small intestine, it is digested by the digestive juices (into an oily film) and the granules also disintegrate, so there is some degree of death due to the influence of the digestive juices. In tests conducted by the present inventors using artificial intestinal fluid, approximately 20% of the Bifidobacteria were killed, so most of the Bifidobacteria can reach the large intestine alive.
