Description

Detailed Description of the Invention (Field of Industrial Application) This invention is a nutritional supplement mainly made of dietary fiber that makes it easier to eat plant fiber, which is a dietary component that is not digested and is excreted as it is. It's about food.

(Prior art) In recent years, white rice has become a staple food, and barley is no longer mixed in, and wheat is also eaten without the bran, so there is a tendency for dietary fiber to become insufficient. or,
Bran is unsuitable for consumption as it is, so
Until now, there have been few nutritional supplements using cereal bran.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) Conventionally, preparations using natural polysaccharides as dietary fiber products, such as mannan-based swelling agents, guar gum, etc.
There are natural polysaccharides such as locust bean gum, pectin, etc., but they taste bad when taken with water.
When it comes into contact with the teeth or the back of the mouth, it sucks up the surrounding moisture and becomes uncomfortable, making it difficult to take, and it also lacks intestinal regulation effects, making it unsuitable for use as a food. It was hot.

Bran is a dietary fiber that makes up 11% of wheat grains, but it is not normally treated hygienically as a food, and it poses problems in terms of digestion.

(Means for solving the problem) This invention uses superheated steam to remove bran.
These problems were solved by heating the product to 180°C to 290°C and adding fermented milk and malt extract.

That is, the present invention provides a nutritional supplement mainly consisting of cereal bran that has been heat sterilized and puffed, and which is mixed with fermented milk and malt extract to form an irregular shape. Heating is done with superheated steam at 180-290℃, and the grain bran is 50-80% and the fermented milk is 10-40%.
%, malt extract is 10 to 20%, and is a nutritional food mainly composed of dietary fiber.

(Effect) By heating the bran to 180℃ to 290℃ using superheated steam, the initial number of bacteria in the bran is 4.8.
×10 ⁵ /g decreased to 0-100/g.
In addition, due to the heat treatment using superheated steam, the steam inside the bran rapidly expands, destroying the inside and making it soft, allowing better absorption of water and making it easier to eat.

Also, since this invention added fermented milk to bran,
It also suppressed abnormal fermentation in the intestines and promoted intestinal regulation. Adding malt extract to the rice makes it delicious.

(Example) That is, embodiments of the invention will be described.

After sterilizing 55 kg of wheat bran at 200℃ for 15 seconds in a sterilizer using high-pressure superheated steam, 35 kg of fermented milk and 10 kg of malt extract were added to the sterilized bran, mixed uniformly with a ribbon mixer, and then heated in a hot air dryer ( 60℃,
After drying for 1 hour) and sieving through a 6-mesh sieve, 78 kg of an irregularly shaped granular product with a moisture content of 2% was obtained. It was also possible to obtain a molded product by pressure molding this irregularly shaped granular product.

This product contained 100 bacteria/g and had a good texture.

(Effects of the Invention) That is, according to the present invention, a novel nutritional supplement that is unprecedented and extremely easy to eat is created by the pleasant texture of cereal bran rich in dietary fiber and the mild flavor and sweetness of fermented milk and malt extract. This has the effect of providing products.

Furthermore, although dietary fiber originally has the effect of promoting peristalsis in the intestines and absorbing harmful substances and excreting them from the body, on the other hand, there is a risk of causing abnormal fermentation in the intestines. In this invention, since fermented milk is added, abnormal fermentation can be suppressed,
It has the effect of promoting intestinal regulation. Furthermore, since the above formulation is adopted, it has the effect of becoming a well-balanced nutritional supplement.

Moreover, although bran, which is a raw material grain, is produced in large quantities, only a small amount of it is used for food purposes. Therefore, this invention is considered to be of industrial value. In other words, it is of great significance that cereal bran, which is a bread product that is difficult to eat and unhygienic for consumption, has been made into a delicious and useful food that can be used as a nutritional supplement at low cost.
