PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a rush processed food using dietary fiber contained in rush, and further effectively improving an intestinal environment.SOLUTION: The rush processed food includes rush powder, Lactobacillus sporogenes, papaya fermented extract, and natural oligosaccharide. The rush powder is obtained by soaking the rush in hot water followed by branching treatment, and hot air-drying the product followed by crushing to powder of a prescribed particle size. The papaya fermented extract is obtained by adding glucose and water to papaya fruit flesh followed by crushing, adding bakers yeast and lactic acid bacteria to the product followed by fermenting ripening for a fixed period, adjusting pH of the product to 3.0-3.8, filtering fermented and ripened solution thus obtained, further adding the lactic acid bacteria and the glucose to the filtered solution, and drying the product followed by processing to a granular state.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】 イグサに含まれる食物繊維を利用するとともに、より効果的に腸内環境を改善できるイグサ加工食品を提供する。【解決手段】 イグサ加工食品は、イグサ粉末と、有胞子乳酸菌と、パパイヤ発酵エキスと、天然オリゴ糖とを含む。イグサ粉末は、イグサを熱湯に浸漬してブランチング処理し、熱風乾燥して所定の粒子サイズの粉末に粉砕したものである。パパイヤ発酵エキスは、パパイヤ発酵エキスが、パパイヤの果肉にブドウ糖と水を加えて粉砕し、パン酵母および乳酸菌を加えて一定期間発酵熟成させるとともにpHを3.0~3.8に調整したのち、得られた発酵熟成溶液を濾過し、濾液にさらに乳酸菌とブドウ糖を加え、乾燥させて顆粒状に加工したものである。【選択図】 なし
