PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide: a method for producing a plant-derived mineral, which can produce a plant-derived mineral safely and economically by a relatively simple apparatus, the mineral being able to maintain extremely high reducing power over a long period while holding an original mineral balance the raw material plant possesses and a plant-derived mineral with excellent reducing power produced by such a method.SOLUTION: The production method comprises: an ashing step (S1) of obtaining ashes by heating a raw material plant in an aerobic state at a temperature of 650°C to 1000°C a pulverizing step (S2) of pulverizing the ashes a mixing step (S3) of obtaining a mixture by adding pure water to the pulverized ashes a filtration step (S4) of filtering the mixture to fractionating the ashes into a fine particle fraction and a coarse particle fraction a drying step (S5) of obtaining a particulate plant-derived mineral by drying the filtered fine particle fraction to remove moisture and a packaging step (S6) of dividing the obtained plant-derived mineral into predetermined amounts and separately packaging each. The steps from the pulverizing step (S2) to the packaging step (S6) are carried out under an inert gas atmosphere.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2COPYRIGHT: (C)2017,JPO&INPIT【課題】原料植物が有する本来のミネラルバランスを保持しつつ長期間に亘って極めて高い還元力を維持することが可能な植物由来ミネラルを比較的簡単な装置で安全且つ経済的に製造することができる植物由来ミネラルの製造方法と、係る方法で製造した還元力に優れる植物由来ミネラルとを提供する。【解決手段】原料植物を有酸素状態のまま650℃~1000℃の温度で加熱して灰化物を得る灰化工程(S1)と、その灰化物を粉砕する粉砕工程(S2)と、粉砕した灰化物に純水を加えて混合液を得る混合工程(S3)と、混合液を濾過して微粒子画分と粗粒子画分とに分画する濾過工程(S4)と、濾過された微粒子画分を乾燥させて水分を除去し、微粒子状の植物由来ミネラルを得る乾燥工程(S5)と、得られた植物由来ミネラルを所定量にて取り分けて個包装する包装工程(S6)とを備え、粉砕工程(S2)から包装工程(S6)までを不活性ガス雰囲気で行う。【選択図】図2
