Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

This invention relates to an agent that uses dietary fiber contained in sugar beet pulp to prevent toxic substances contained in foods and drinks from being digested and absorbed within the gastrointestinal tract. It has been reported that dietary fiber has the effect of inhibiting the toxicity of digested and absorbed toxic substances in the gastrointestinal tract, such as in ``Chemistry and Biology''.
Vol. 18, No. 2, 1981, pages 95 to 105, there are various descriptions of the nutritional effects of dietary fibers. Amaranth, Am)
It is said that it has the effect of inhibiting the toxicity of harmful substances such as. Furthermore, the ability to inhibit toxicity varies greatly depending on the type of dietary fiber, and the ability to inhibit amaranth toxicity when preparing burdock fiber fractions is as follows: holocellulose>neutral agent treated DF (NDF)>burdock DF>crude fibrous>acidic The order is detergent-treated DF (ADF) > cellulose, and pure cellulose prepared from cotton is completely ineffective. In addition, regarding the relationship between the physicochemical properties and effects of this dietary fiber, there is a high correlation with water-holding ability (WHC) and submerged settling volume (SV), and in particular, the larger the submerged volume (SV), the greater the toxicity inhibition. It is said that he has great Noh ability. On the other hand, sugar beet pulp is the residue after extracting sugar from sugar beet during sugar beet production, and is either compressed and dried or discharged outside the factory without drying, and it has the characteristic odor and bad taste of sugar beet. Furthermore, it contains many soil substances and is not edible and is used as feed, but the inventors have
As proposed in No. 32971, JP-A No. 56-96658, etc., it is possible to make edible high-fiber foods by crushing, washing with water, and sieving, or by crushing and sieving after heat treatment. It is. This sugar beet pulp contains water-soluble and insoluble fiber components such as pectin, hemicellulose, and cellulose, and can be an extremely good so-called dietary leaf iver. The inventors conducted various studies on the dietary fiber contained in the sugar beet pulp, and found that although the SVV (submerged volume in water) is not as large as that of other dietary fibers, it has a very high toxicity inhibiting ability. Knowing this led to this invention. Sugar beet pulp is the residue after extracting soluble components such as sugar from sugar beet as described above, and examples of its components are shown in the table below.

[Table] Pressed pulp.
In this invention, compressed pulp as shown in the table above is dried and, if necessary, pulverized for use in powder form. As a result of tests on water retention and submerged volume in water of powdered burdock fiber, butterbur fiber, wood cellulose, konjac mannan, and sugar beet pulp edible fibers with a particle size of 60 mesh,
It was as shown in the table below.

[Table] Test method: Water retention: Use centrifugation method (a) Add excess pure water to the sample and mix well.
Naturally filter to remove free water. (b) Pack 100 ml of the sample from which free water has been removed into a sample cylinder (100 ml volume) and centrifugally dehydrate it using a centrifugal filtration device (horizontal type). (c) After centrifugal dehydration, determine the water content ratio (weight percent) of the sample. Submerged volume: (a) Add approximately 50 ml of water to 1 g of dry sample, and then degas it using a running water pump. (b) Transfer this sample to a measuring cylinder, add a sufficient amount of water, and then measure the volume settled in water when water equilibrium is reached as the amount of swelling. In Table 2 above, konnyaku mannan has the highest value of settling volume in water, followed by butterbur fiber and burdock fiber, and sugar beet pulp dietary fiber does not have a particularly large value. Next, regarding the toxicity prevention ability of these dietary fibers,
The results of testing the ability to inhibit toxicity against amaranth are shown in the table below. In the test, 5% amaranth and 5% of each dietary fiber source were added to the basic diet and fed to rats, and growth was investigated for 3 weeks. The rats used were 3-week-old Wister male rats fed a standard diet (body weight 50-60 g, 5 rats/group).
After that, each test feed was fed ad libitum for 21 days, and growth was observed.

[Table] As shown in Table 3 above, when comparing the weight gain on the 7th, 14th, and 21st days of the basal diet with the weight gain of the control, the growth of the control-fed rats was significantly inhibited by the toxic properties of amaranth. On the other hand, the growth of rats fed the control mixture with each dietary fiber was clearly better than that of the control, but it was not as good as the basic diet. however,
The growth of the sugar beet pulp dietary fiber mixture feeding was almost the same as that of the basic feed, which is recognized as completely inhibiting the amaranth poisoning performance. Furthermore, the relationship with the total intake of various feeds during these 21 days is shown in Table 4 below.

[Table] As shown in Table 4, the toxicity inhibition effect of the sugar beet pulp dietary fiber mixed feed is almost the same as that of the basic feed in terms of total intake, and there is a noticeable difference in intake amount. Even in terms of weight gain ratio, there is almost no difference from the basic feed without the addition of amaranth, and the amaranth poisonous performance has completely disappeared. The mechanism of this toxicity-preventing effect is presumed to be that sugar beet pulp dietary fiber is a composite fiber of water-soluble and insoluble fibers, exhibiting high water retention and strong adsorption properties, and at the same time normalizing the rate of movement within the gastrointestinal lumen. . As described above, the present invention uses sugar beet pulp dietary fiber, which has a smaller settling volume in water than dietary fibers such as konnyaku mannan, burdock, and butterbur, for its toxicity inhibiting effect, and the fiber component of this sugar beet pulp dietary fiber is An example of the composition is as follows.

[Table] As shown in Table 5 above, sugar beet pulp dietary fiber is
It is a water-soluble and insoluble composite fiber containing pectin, hemicellulose, cellulose, etc., and the various components contained therein were fractionated and these fractions were tested for toxicity inhibition efficacy, and the results were as follows. Similar to Table 4, the test looked at the relationship between the total intake of various types of feed and the weight gain ratio.

[Table] The acidic detergent-treated product (cellulose + lignin), neutral detergent-treated product (hemicellulose + cellulose), and hemicellulose fractionated from sugar beet pulp dietary fiber shown in Table 6 above have little to no effect on the toxicity of amaranth in terms of weight gain. Although it removes the sugar beet pulp, it cannot reach the level of the dietary fiber itself, and although the neutral detergent treatment shows a considerable toxicity removal effect in terms of total feeding intake, this is also not as good as the composite sugar beet pulp dietary fiber. The sugar beet pulp dietary fiber used in this invention needs to be a composite of such insoluble and water-soluble dietary fibers. The digestive and absorption toxicity referred to in this invention is something that inhibits the digestion and absorption of nutrients in the digestive cavity and suppresses growth. It is caused by overconsumption of large portions of food coloring, etc. In the present invention, as described in the Examples below, it is usually used by mixing it with food, but even if it is eaten separately, the effect of inhibiting poisonous performance in the digestive tract will not be reduced. An intake of 3 to 15 g/person/day is sufficient. Next, an example will be described. Example 1 Same basal feed (B) in the test example shown in Table 2
Rats were mixed with 5% amaranth and 2% betta (trade name, manufactured by Nippon Beet Sugar Co., Ltd., sugar beet pulp dietary fiber) with 100 to 150 meshes, and adjusted to a body weight of 60 to 70 g at 3 weeks of age. Five animals were fed for 21 days. The feeding method was ad libitum feeding as in the previous test. As a control, rats under the same conditions were also fed basal diet alone and basal diet plus 5% amaranth. As a result, the weight gain and total feed intake were as follows.

[Table] As shown in Table 7 above, the toxicity caused by the addition of 5% amaranth was significantly eliminated by the addition of 2% Betu (beet dietary fiber: trademark), and the growth inhibitory effect was prevented. Example 2 Five rats were fed under the same conditions as in Example 1 except that the amount of betatus added was 5%. As a result, body weight gain and total food intake were as follows.

[Table] This is equivalent to the case of feeding only the basic sample in Example 1, and amaranth toxicity has been completely eliminated. Example 3 The particle size of the betta in Example 2 was (a) 20 to 30 mesh;
(b) 32 to 60 meshes, (c) 60 to 100 meshes, (d) 100 meshes or more, and fractionated from bettas (e)
Hemicellulose and (f) acidic detergent-treated material (mainly cellulose) were tested in rats prepared separately from Example 1, with other feeding conditions being the same. As a result, the body weight and total food intake were as follows.

[Table] There was almost no difference due to the difference in particle size of the mixed betatus, and toxicity was sufficiently removed.
