`
`
`[Detailed description of the invention]
`
`[Technical field]
`
`[0001]
`
`The present invention is used as the care foods for the elderly people for whom digestion i
`
`s difficult, or swallowing difficulty persons, or a small-children-oriented baby food, and eve
`
`n if digestion capability is not sufficient, it relates to digestion and a processed food for dys
`
`phagia persons which can be eaten easily, and a manufacturing method for the same. Tho
`
`ugh it is the foodstuffs processed especially, appearance is also related with digestion and
`
`a processed food for dysphagia persons which enabled it to manufacture simply the cooked
`
`article of actual food stuff, and the digestion and the processed food for dysphagia persons
`
`which have the appearance shape approximated extremely, and a manufacturing method f
`
`or the same.
`
`[Background of the Invention]
`
`[0002]
`
`In recent years, in recent years, with increasing age of a population, a rate of an elderly p
`
`erson who has deteriorated a masticatory function and a swallowing function has been incr
`
`eased as a result of prolongation of life, and accordingly, a demand for a processed food w
`
`hich is extremely soft at eating time and which is easy to swallow is increasing year by yea
`
`r. Also, a processed food in which such extremely soft swallowing is easy is an effective foo
`
`d even for an infant who requires a weaning food which has not sufficiently developed thes
`
`e swallowing or masticatory functions.
`
`[0003]
`
`When an elderly person with reduced chewing and swallowing function or an infant who ha
`
`Ss not sufficiently developed a swallowing or masticatory function ingests food, a food mate
`
`rial is finely shredded according to its intake ability, a paste is made by a mixer or the like,
`
`or various food properties are used.
`
`[0004]
`
`In addition, among basic food materials, meat is said to be one of difficult processing meth
`
`ods.
`
`In particular, Patent Document 1 (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. Hei 2005
`
`(1999) - 110677) relates to a solid meat soft processed food suitable for a person who is d
`
`ifficult to masticate and a person who is hard to swallow. A meat soft processed food and a
`
`method for producing the same are proposed which comprise a meat mixed material obtai
`
`ned by mixing and mixing at least starch, fat and oil, a thickening polysaccharide and wate
`
`r into minced or finely minced meat material, and which includes a meat mixed molded pro
`
`duct obtained by molding the meat mixed material into a predetermined shape.
`
`

`

`[0005]
`
`In addition, in Patent Document 2 (Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 2005 - 2699
`
`47), as a fish meat paste product which is easy to swallow, a seasoning mainly containing
`
`a salt is added to a fish meat raw material, then Kneaded to form a viscous fish meat past
`
`e, and further, a pregelatinized starch, a foaming agent and the like are added. There has
`
`been proposed a method for producing a fish meat paste product which is capable of givin
`
`g a soft palate feeling to be dissolved in a mouth when taken orally and capable of retainin
`
`g a shape retaining property in the course of manufacturing.
`
`[0006]
`
`After cutting either of the food, such as fish and shellfishes, meat or vegetables, and fruit,
`
`out and carrying out mull processing in a Patent document 3 (JP 2007 - 252218A), A part
`
`of the food material is made into at least 2 or more food materials, and the food material d
`
`ivided into 2 or more is further put into a molding frame, molded, or colored by an edible p
`
`igment, and then the food materials are combined. There has been proposed a processed f
`
`ood in which the appearance and shape of an actual processed food obtained by cutting fis
`
`h and shellfish and meat or vegetable fruits into small parts are reproduced almost as they
`
`are, and which is soft and processed so as to be easily eaten by a person who is swallowed
`
`or masticated or whois insufficient in the function of swallowing or chewing.
`
`[0007]
`
`Patent Document 4 (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. Hei 2001 (1999) - 7868
`
`1) and 5 (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. Hei 7 (1995) - 7489) disclose a dec
`
`oration technique for food.
`
`[0008]
`
`In Patent Document 4 (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. Hei 2001 - 78681), fo
`
`r the purpose of improving the visual effect of an eating person, a surface of a decoration c
`
`ake provided in a birthday memorial or the like is provided. There has been proposed an i
`
`mage-attached food which prints an image obtained by processing an original image such
`
`as a human photograph using edible ink on an edible film, and cuts an edible film on which
`
`the image is printed into an appropriate size, and sticks it to a food such as a cake.
`
`[0009]
`
`In Patent Document 5 (Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 7 - 7489), there is proposed
`
`an automatic film sticking device for an edible film, which can efficiently obtain a food havi
`
`ng a design feeling and a high grade feeling by automatically sticking an edible film onas
`
`urface of a food such as a panor a trash head.
`
`[0010]
`
`Also, the present applicant has proposed a reshaped soft diet which is used as a nursing fo
`
`od for an elderly person and a nursing food for an elderly person who has difficulty in chew
`
`ing, and a baby food for an infant, and has proposed Patent Document 6 (Japanese Patent
`
`Laid-Open No. 2010 99023).
`
`In other words, in this patent document, any of food, meat or food such as vegetables and
`
`fruits is cut and kneaded, followed by kneading. A part of the food material is made into at
`
`

`

`least 2 or more food materials, and a food material divided into 2 or moreis further put int
`
`o a molding frame, molded or colored by an edible pigment, and then the food material is
`
`combined. To provide a processed food which reproduces the appearance and the shape of
`
`an actual processed food obtained by cutting fish and shellfish and meat or vegetable fruit
`
`s into small parts almost as it is, and which is soft and processed so that a person whois s
`
`wallowed or masticated or who is insufficient in the function can be easily eaten.

`
`[Summary of the invention]
`
`[Problem to be solved by the invention]
`
`[0012]
`
`While processed foods for persons who havedifficulty in chewing and swallowing and a me
`
`thod for producing them have been proposed in various patent documents as described ab
`
`ove, those proposed in Patent Documents 1 and 2 are far from an actual appearance shape
`
`of a cooked food, and it is difficult to say that the food has an appetizing property for ane
`
`ating person.
`
`[0013]
`
`As a technique for improving the appearance of food, Patent Documents 4 and 5 propose a
`
`technique of printing an edible film and attaching it to a part of a food, but these technique
`
`S prevent an internal image from being softened by the decoration of an edge portion, and
`
`prevent a situation in which an unpleasant feeling is suppressed to prevent appetite. Or, it
`
`is intended to be a food having a design feeling and a high grade feeling, and it is difficult t
`
`o say a food whichis different from an actual appearance shape of a cooked food and whic
`
`h gives an appetite to an eating person.
`
`[0014]
`
`Accordingly, it is a first object of the present invention to provide a processed food for a pe
`
`rson with difficulty in chewing and swallowing which imitates an actual appearance shape o
`
`f a cooked food and gives a feeling of appetite to an eating person, and a method for prod
`
`ucing the same.
`
`

`

`[0015]
`
`In addition, according to the techniques proposed in Patent Documents 4 and 5, an edible f
`
`ilm has to be printed, and the edible film has to be adhered to a food, and the technologie
`
`s of Patent Documents 3 and 6 are also used. A coloring agent is added to a mixedliquid c
`
`ontaining wheat flour as a main component, and a sheet-like member produced by baking
`
`and a fish meat mixing member having a shape of a fish cut are laminated and bonded, or
`
`2 or more than one food material is molded or colored. That is, the techniques proposed in
`
`these documents require the use of edible films, sheet-like members, or other optional foo
`
`d materials, which are combined.
`
`[0016]
`
`Thus, the present invention does not use such an edible film, a sheet-like member, or ano
`
`ptional food material. To provide a processed food for a person with difficulty in chewing a
`
`nd swallowing, which can simply and efficiently manufacture a processed food for a person
`
`with difficulty chewing and swallowing which imitates the actual appearance shape of the c
`
`ooked food and gives the appetizing property of an eating person, and to provide a metho
`
`d for manufacturing the same. 2.
`
`[Means for solving the problem]
`
`[0017]
`
`In order to solve at least one of the above problems, it is an object of the present inventio
`
`n to provide a processed food for a person with difficulty in chewing and swallowing, where
`
`in at least one of color, texture and pattern is directly printed in a process of producing a p
`
`rocessed food for a person who is difficult to chew and swallow without using an edible fil
`
`m, and a method for producing the same.
`
`[0018]
`
`In other words, in the present invention, in order to solve at least one of the above proble
`
`ms, a processed food for a person with difficulty in chewing and swallowing, which is mold
`
`ed using a paste-like raw material, is used. The present invention relates to a method for p
`
`roducing a processed food for a person whois difficult to chew and swallow, comprising a
`
`main material obtained by loosening or cutting a material selected from fish, meat, vegeta
`
`bles and fruits. To provide a processed food for a masticatory and swallowing person which
`
`is directly printed using edible ink, at least any one of color, texture and pattern derived fr
`
`om a material selected as a main material.
`
`[0019]
`
`The processed food for the person who is difficult to chew and swallow is manufactured usi
`
`ng a pasty raw material. This pasty raw material contains a main material which is formed
`
`by loosening or cutting 1 or 2 or more kinds of materials selected from fishes, shellfishes,
`
`meats, vegetables and fruits, and is optionally used as a tie material in addition to other co
`
`mponents, for example, a thickener or a gelling agent, or a food product to be thermoform
`
`ed or thermoformed.
`
`It can be used. As the tie material, there can be used egg yolk, egg white, soybean oil, et
`
`

`

`c., aS well as edible oils including ground potatoes, ground mountain potatoes, glutinous ri
`
`ce flour, potato or corn starch, bread crumb, soybean oil and other vegetable oils. It is also
`
`possible to add a seasoning componentor an oil and fat component as a further componen
`
`t.
`
`[0020]
`
`Further, it is preferable that the main material used as a pasty raw material is formed into
`
`fine characteristics such as minced, fine cut, paste, etc. by loosening or cutting the selecte
`
`d material, and the size of the material is at least a size which does not cause a problem e
`
`ven when a person who is difficult to masticate or swallow and an infant eat without biting.
`
`[0021]
`
`By selecting 1 kinds of materials as the main material, the pasty raw material can exhibit t
`
`he original taste of the material. However, 2 or more kinds of materials may be used as th
`
`e main material constituting the paste-like raw material. The combination may be a combi
`
`nation of different types, e.g. meat and vegetables, or a combination of the same type (ve
`
`getables) such as broccoli and carrot.
`
`[0022]
`
`In the case of the processed food for the person who is difficult to be masticated and swall
`
`owed according to the present invention, at least any one of color, texture and pattern deri
`
`ved from the main material selected as the pasty raw material is directly printed using an
`
`edible ink. When 1 materials are selected as main material, at least one of color, texture a
`
`nd pattern which reproduces the appearance when cooking is printed is printed. When a m
`
`ain material is composed of 2 or more kinds of materials, it is possible to print at least one
`
`of color, texture and pattern derived from a material exhibiting a main taste and texture as
`
`a result of combination.
`
`[0023]
`
`While this printing may be performed at any timing in the course of manufacturing the pro
`
`cessed food for the person who is difficult to be masticated and swallowed or after the ma
`
`nufacture, the printing is at least one of color, texture and pattern derived from the main
`
`material material constituting the paste-like material used in the manufacture. In other wo
`
`rds, by printing a texture or the like appearing in a material constituting a main material, it
`
`is possible to obtain a processed food for a person with a difficulty in chewing and swallowi
`
`ng, which has an appearance shape which is extremely close to that of an actual food mat
`
`erial, even though it is a processed food. At least any one of color, texture and pattern deri
`
`ved from the main material is used. It is a color, a texture, a pattern, or the like which imit
`
`ates appear when a main material is cooked, and may be represented by only one of a col
`
`or, a texture, or a pattern, or may be represented by a combination of 2 or more of a color,
`
`a texture, and a pattern. This color is a color that appears in a cooked main material, and t
`
`he texture is a characteristic of the whole of a partial change such as an unevennessin av
`
`isual color or brightness of a cooked main material or an unevennessin which a tactile rati
`
`o of a tactile ratio is felt, I. e., a material feeling. Further, a pattern is a pattern appearingi
`
`n a part or all of a cooked main material.
`
`

`

`[0024]
`
`With and the digestion and the processed food for dysphagia persons concerning the prese
`
`nt invention, This method for directly printing a processed food of a person who is difficult
`
`to chew and swallow and swallowing, or a processed food of a person whois difficult to ch
`
`ew and swallow by using an edible ink, in a process of producing a color, a texture or a pat
`
`tern as described above, in a manufacturing process of a processed food for a person who
`
`is difficult to chew and swallow. Thus, it is possible not only to reduce the manufacturing c
`
`ost of an edible film but also to reduce the time and labor required for removing a necessa
`
`ry portion from the edible film and sticking it to a processed food.
`
`[0025]
`
`In particular, it is desirable that the printing by the edible ink is performed on the semi-fini
`
`shed product in a process of manufacturing a processed food product which is difficult to b
`
`e masticated and swallowed, and is particularly preferably applied to a paste-like raw mate
`
`rial filled in the mold. In many cases, a paste-like raw material filled in a mold is molded.
`
`Although heat treatmentis performed, by performing printing by the edible ink before the
`
`heat treatment, it is possible to eliminate the problem that the deposition property to the p
`
`aste-like raw material is improved and only the printed portion is peeled off or detached. T
`
`herefore, in the case of a processed food for a person who is difficult to be masticated and
`
`swallowed, it is desirable to heat and solidify a paste-like raw material to be printed. In ad
`
`dition, when the paste-like raw material subjected to the printing is heated and solidified, c
`
`ompatibility or integrity between the paste-like raw material and the edible ink is increase
`
`d, which can be confirmed, for example, by a microscope.
`
`[0026]
`
`In addition, in order to solve at least any of the above problems, the present invention pro
`
`vides a method for producing a processed food for a person who is difficult to chew and sw
`
`allow. In other words, as disclosed below, a paste-like raw material manufacturing process
`
`andafilling process thereof are described. This method for producing a processed food for
`
`a person with difficulty in chewing and swallowing comprises a soaking step, a heating ste
`
`p and a printing step after the filling step in this stream and before or after the heating tre
`
`atment, and more specifically, comprises the following steps.
`
`[0027]
`
`A pasty raw material manufacturing process for kneading a main material formed by loose
`
`ning or cutting a material selected from fishes, shellfishes, meats, vegetables and fruits an
`
`da joining material to produce a paste-like raw material ;
`
`A filling step offilling the prepared paste-like raw material into a mold ;
`
`A leveling step of flattening the surface of the paste-like raw material filled in the mold ;
`
`This method comprises a heating step of heating a uniform paste-like raw material to solidi
`
`fy the raw material.
`
`In a method for manufacturing a processed food for a person with a difficulty in chewing a
`
`nd swallowing, at least either of a color, a texture and a pattern derived from a material se
`
`

`

`lected as a main material is directly printed on a pasty raw material or solidified by a heati
`
`ng process, using an edible ink, at least either before or after the heating process.
`
`[0028]
`
`In this manufacturing method, printing is performed directly on a paste-like raw material o
`
`r solidified by a heating process in a printing process. To eliminate a large number of manu
`
`facturing steps, such as separately preparing an edible film, printing it on it, and further cu
`
`tting it out into a predetermined shape and pasting it, and to eliminate the necessity of usi
`
`ng an edible film.
`
`[0029]
`
`In particular, in such a manufacturing process, it is desirable that the printing step be perf
`
`ormed after the leveling step and before the heating step. The upper surface of the paste-|
`
`ike raw material in the mold is eliminated by the leveling process, so that it is suitable for
`
`printing. Also, by performing prior to the heating step, it is possible to perform printing on
`
`the pasty raw material before solidification, whereby the printed edible ink can be bonded t
`
`oO particles or components of the pasty raw material, so that it can exhibit a more realistic
`
`property (texture, etc.). Further, since the integrity of the edible ink and the paste-like raw
`
`material is increased, it is possible to eliminate problems such as detachment of the printe
`
`d portion later or generation of cracks. Further, due to the heating step, it is conceivable th
`
`at the paste-like raw material is uneven due to bubbles, heat spots during heating, or the |
`
`ike, and thatit is difficult to ensure a flat printed surface. On the other hand, it has been c
`
`onfirmed that even when the ink is heated and solidified in a state in which the edible ink i
`
`s printed, the color and the texture of the printed portion do not have any particular proble
`
`m. Thus, it is desirable in the present invention to perform a printing step after the levelin
`
`g step and before the heating step.
`
`[0030]
`
`The printing step may be performed by various methods such as letterpress printing, flexo
`
`graphic printing, offset printing, screen printing, thermal transfer printing, and inkjet printi
`
`ng, but ink jet printing is particularly preferred. This ink jet printing may be performedusi
`
`ng, for example, a flatbed ink jet printer, and it is desirable to provide a mold to the flatbe
`
`d of the printer to perform printing. This is because, by using a flat-bed inkjet printer, a pr
`
`edetermined amount of pasty raw material (filled in a mold) can be printed in a single oper
`
`ation, thereby improving the working efficiency.
`
`[0031]
`
`To be used for printing in the present invention, at least a component having no problem a
`
`t eating is constituted.
`
`As long as it is edible and edible, a coating material may be used. However, in order to faci
`
`litate manufacture by printing, ink is desirable. In addition, although it is possible to use th
`
`e ink as a dye ink or a pigment ink as long as it can be eaten, it is desirable to use a dye in
`
`k in order to eliminate a problem of peeling of a printed portion by ensuring an impregnati
`
`on property with respect to a paste-like raw material.
`
`

`

`[0032]
`
`As the edible ink, an edible ink jet ink composition including edible natural pigment, an edi
`
`ble glycol compound, an edible fatty acid ester, ethyl alcohol, and pure water, an edible ink
`
`using a gardenia pigment as an edible pigment, an ink jet ink including an edible dye and
`
`a viscosity modifier, and an ink jet ink including water can be used.
`
`[Effect of the Invention]
`
`[0033]
`
`By directly printing the processed food of the person with difficulty in chewing and swallowi
`
`ng according to the present invention without using an edible film, it is possible to easily a
`
`nd inexpensively manufacture a processed food having a characteristic suitable for chewin
`
`g or swallowing or a property suitable for a person whois not 10 minutes. In other words,
`
`the present invention does not use an edible film, a sheet-like member, or an optional food
`
`material. To provide a processed food for a person with difficulty in chewing and swallowin
`

`
`(First Embodiment)
`
`[0039]
`
`Referring to FIG. 1, a method for manufacturing a processed food 50 for a person whois di
`
`fficult to chew and swallow according to the first embodiment will be described. In this ma
`
`nufacturing method, a pasty raw material manufacturing process for manufacturing a past
`
`y raw material 10 by kneading a main material 12 formed by cutting a material and a joini
`
`ng material 14, and a filling process for filling the manufactured paste-like raw material 10
`
`into a cavity 22 of a mold 20 are performed. A leveling step of flattening a surface of a pas
`
`ty raw material 10 filled in a mold 20 (specifically, a cavity 22), and a printing step of direc
`
`tly printing at least any one of color, texture and pattern derived from a material selected
`
`as a main material 12 on the leveled paste-like raw material 10 using an edible ink ; This
`
`method comprises a heating step of heating a pasty raw material 10 which is uniformly an
`
`

`

`d directly printed in a mold 20 andsolidifying it.
`
`[0040]
`
`In the pasty raw material manufacturing process, fish such as salmon, cod, honey,and indi
`
`go are selected as the main material 12, and the head and the skin and the bones thereof
`
`are removed, and the fish meat after removing them is finely cut using a cutter 31 or the li
`
`ke as shown in FIG. 1 a. Thereafter, a pasty raw material 10 is manufactured by mixing a
`
`binding material 14 selected from a mountain potato, an egg, a thickening polysaccharide,
`
`and the like, a Seasoning component such as an oil, a Sugar, a salt, and the like, and water
`
`at a predeterminedratio.
`
`[0041]
`
`As a specific mixing ratio, for example, a total weight of 100 is assumed. Fish meat (main
`
`material 12) obtained by cutting 42% by weight of the fish meat (main material) is mixed
`
`with 15% by weight of mountain potato, 14% by weight of egg, 7.9%by weight of vegeta
`
`ble oil, 20%by weight of sugar, 0.5% by weight of sodium chloride, 8.7% by weight of wat
`
`er, 0.1% by weight of thickened polysaccharide, and the like to form a substantially paste.
`
`[0042]
`
`Next, as shown in FIG. 1 b, a filling process is performed, and in this filling process, a plur
`
`ality of the paste-like raw material 10 producedarefilled in a plurality of cavities 22 forme
`
`d in the mold 20. In particular, in this embodiment, since fish is used as the main material
`
`12 constituting the paste-like raw material 10, the shape of each cavity 22 is configured so
`
`as to be shaped in the same shapeas in the case of cooking fish, and is particularly forme
`
`d in a shape imitating a fish fillet. For example, an edible pig
