PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a nutritional supplement comprising an edible vegetable powder in which the nutrient is enriched more than the conventional edible vegetable powder.SOLUTION: Provided is a nutritional supplement comprising an edible vegetable powder obtained by: supplying a warm air so that the temperature of exhaust from a comminution chamber 6 is at a temperature in the range of 60 to 120°C, and by the warm air, guiding an edible vegetable toward a rotary blade 3 rotating with a gap spaced from the inner peripheral wall of the comminution chamber 6 and in the comminution chamber 6, airflow-comminuting, as well as simultaneously drying, the edible vegetable by the rotary blade 3 whose tip is rotating at a peripheral speed in the range of 90 to 120 m/second.EFFECT: The nutrient in said nutritional supplement is enriched as compared with the conventional edible vegetable powder obtained by comminuting after heating-and-drying or vacuum-freeze-drying.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1COPYRIGHT: (C)2016,JPO&INPIT【課題】従来の食用植物粉末よりも栄養素が富裕化されている食用植物粉末からなる栄養剤の提供。【解決手段】粉砕室6からの排気温度が60~120℃の範囲の温度となるように温風を供給して、該温風により食用植物を粉砕室6の内周壁と隙間を隔てて回転するローターブレード3に向けて案内し、粉砕室6内で先端が90~120m/秒の範囲の周速で回転するローターブレード3により該食用植物を気流粉砕すると同時に乾燥することにより得られた食用植物粉末からなる栄養剤。【効果】従来の加熱乾燥および真空凍結乾燥した後に粉砕してなる食用植物粉末に対し、該栄養素が富裕化された栄養剤。【選択図】図1
