Abstract
A method of producing a cereal food containing catechins in an amount of 0.1 mass % or more with respect to the dry mass of the cereal food, the method including spraying an aqueous solution of a purified preparation of a catechins-containing plant extract after forming a cereal food, the purified preparation of a catechins-containing plant extract having a turbidity of 30 FTU (formazin) or less at an aqueous solution of 0.5% solid content.
Claims17
A method of producing a cereal food,
- comprising spraying an aqueous solution of a purified preparation of a catechin-comprising plant extract after forming a cereal food,
- wherein
- the aqueous solution of the purified preparation of a catechin-comprising plant extract comprises catechins in an amount of from 1 to 50 mass %,
- the purified preparation of a catechin-comprising plant extract has a turbidity of 30 FTU (formazin) or less at an aqueous solution of 0.5 mass % solid content, and
- the cereal food comprises catechins in an amount of 0.1 mass % or more with respect to the dry mass of the cereal food.

A cereal food, comprising:
- catechins in an amount of 0.1 mass % or more with respect to the dry mass of the cereal food, wherein
- the cereal food is produced by blending a purified preparation of a catechins-containing plant extract therein, the purified preparation of a catechin-comprising plant extract having a turbidity of 30 FTU (formazin) or less at an aqueous solution of 0.5 mass % solid content, and
- the cereal food comprises (A) myricetin, (B) quercetin, (C) kaempferol, (D) epigallocatechin gallate and (E) gallocatechin gallate where the ratio of the sum of the contents of (A), (B) and (C) to the sum of the contents of (D) and (E) (the content of (A)+(B)+(C)/the content of (D)+(E)) be from 0.01 to 0.09 (mass ratio).
