2. Description of the Related Art Oil palm is cultivated between 16 degrees north latitude and 10 degrees south latitude, introduced into Java from its native West Africa, and is now widely cultivated mainly in Africa, Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia. It is an oil crop. The oil obtained from the pulp is called coconut oil, and the oil squeezed from the shell is called coconut kernel oil or kernel oil, both of which are used for food and industrial purposes. Oil palm has the highest oil production per unit area, making it one of the most important sources of vegetable oil in world trade as a source of vegetable oil. Commercial large-scale plantations were first opened in the Sumatra and Malaya regions of East Asia and in the early 20th century. Since then, oil palm cultivation by large plantations has spread throughout the tropics around the world, and modern oil mills have been built within each large plantation or production group to produce very high quality palm oil and palm kernel oil. Have been done.
With the advent of large farms, oil palm production has also changed dramatically, with Malaysia and Indonesia now accounting for 90% of world palm oil exports. With such an increase in production, planned planting and cultivation is required.

[0003] The trunk of an oil palm for over 25 years has become an old trunk,
Difficulty handling stems. Inside the oil palm trunk, the vascular tissue serves as a physical support and also serves as a flow path for nutrients, but the trunk has a water content of 75% or more. Due to the high temperature in the tropics, decay quickly after being knocked down and the by-products could not be reused. Therefore, in order to replant the old trunk, the old palm trunk was usually knocked down and burned on the spot. Dry season (4-6 months)
Replanting was also difficult due to the fact that it had to be treated and the cost of cutting out old palm trunks and carrying them out of the cultivation garden was expensive.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to reduce the cost of a farm and re-use it by effectively using an oil palm trunk without burning it. It is to contribute to planting.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, the oil palm trunk dietary fiber powder and the processed beverage thereof according to the present invention have the following constitution. That is, the lumber obtained by cutting and shaping the oil palm trunk is dried to a water content of about 10 to 50%, then crushed and sieved into vascular bundles and dietary fiber. Thus, a dietary fiber powder derived from oil palm trunk containing hemicellulose, cellulose, and lignin while containing about 70% or more of dietary fiber is obtained.

Here, the method of cutting and shaping the oil palm trunk is as follows.
cm may be removed and formed into a square or plate material by a sawmill to contribute to the convenience of post-processing.

The lumber may be frozen at about -70 to 0 ° C. and then dried to contribute to the convenience of lumber processing.

As a method for drying lumber, air drying in a drying room or air drying in a natural environment at a temperature of about 15 to 35 ° C. is simple and effective.

The oil palm trunk dietary fiber powder has a water content of about 2 to 10
%, It can be provided for drinking as oil palm trunk dietary fiber powdered tea.

[0010] The processed oil palm trunk dietary fiber powdered tea may be leached with boiling water to provide an oil palm trunk dietary fiber powder processed beverage.

[0011]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a partial front view of an oil palm planted, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the oil palm trunk.
The palm trunk has a water content of 75% or more, and is composed of strong vascular tissue and fibrous material surrounding the vascular bundle. In particular, the vascular bundle (13) stretches the entire trunk like a mesh. I have. Therefore, the treatment was extremely difficult, but as a result of intensive examination, the old palm trunk was defeated, crushed, and separated into fiber bundles (13) and fibrous materials (14) surrounding the vascular bundles. You can reuse it without burning it. Therefore, without burning the coconut tree trunk, dietary fiber coconut tree trunk powder and this are processed to obtain fiber tea.

[0012] The oil palm trunk, including the old palm trunk that has passed over 25 years of age, is pushed down by applying the tip of a bulldozer to its height of about 3-4 m above the ground, and 1-2 m above the root. Cut the trunk with a chain saw, root (11) and trunk (1)
Separate in 2). Then, cut into approximately 80 cm thick slices with a chain saw, remove 1-5 cm of the skin from the trunk skin (15),
With a sawing machine, sawings (21) and plate (22) shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 are sawn.

The lumber is air-dried in a drying room until the water content becomes about 10 to 50%. Alternatively, it is air-dried in a natural environment at an outside air temperature of 15 to 35 ° C. until the water content becomes about 10 to 50%. Next, the sawn wood is pulverized into sawdust and sieved into vascular bundles and dietary fiber. The dietary fiber is further classified into about 5 to 50 mesh, particularly preferably 10 to 35 mesh, and contains 70% or more of dietary fiber. And a dietary fiber oil palm trunk powder containing hemicellulose, cellulose and lignin.

The details of the embodiment will be described below. The degree of drying is appropriately set according to the state of the water content of the ground oil palm trunk, but it is preferable that the dried palm oil contains a large amount of dietary fiber and the water content of the oil palm powder is 18% or less. . This is necessary because it is distributed as a product and does not spoil the oil palm trunk powder.
