麹とは

原料となる穀物（米・麦・豆など）に水分を与え、蒸したものに種麹を撒き、 麹菌の増殖に適した温度条件下で培養したものです。 麹は、酵素の宝庫と言われるほど多種多量の酵素を持っており、その力で穀物を分解します。 また、麹自身は、麹菌によって造られた糖，アミノ酸，ビタミン，ミネラルなどがぎっしり詰まった 栄養豊富な食べ物でもあるのです。 麹を利用して、伝統的発酵食品である日本酒・本格焼酎・みりん・味噌・醤油・酢・甘酒などを作ります。

麹の健康効果

腸内環境 (腸内フローラ)がよくなると、お肌の調子もよくなり、免疫力がアップします。 この腸内環境を整えてくれるのが発酵食品。 そして、発酵食品は必ず発酵を促す菌によってつくられます。 代表的なものには、麹菌や納豆菌、乳酸菌など、どこかで聞いたことがある菌が並びます。 その中でも、私たちに身近な味噌や醤油、お酒をつくるのが麹菌。 この麹菌、日本の風土や気候に合ったもので、室町時代にはすでに発見されていました。 糀の主な栄養素 ■ビタミンB1 エネルギー生産の手助け／疲労回復／イライラを抑える／健忘症予防／糖質の分解を助ける ■ビタミンB2 肌の新陳代謝を助ける／脂質の分解を助ける／成長を促進／皮脂をコントロール／口内炎を抑える ■ビタミンB6 月経前症候群（PMS）を軽減／免疫力を高める／動脈硬化の予防／タンパク質や脂質の分解を助ける／ 口内炎を抑える／神経細胞の興奮を抑える。 ■ビタミンH（ビオチン） アトピー性皮膚炎の原因を抑える／糖尿病の予防／脱毛・白髪を緩和 ■パントテン酸 ストレスに強くなる／脂質・糖質の分解を助ける／化学化合物の解毒作用／善玉コレステロールを増やす／ 肌の健康を維持／免疫力を高める ■必須アミノ酸 タンパク質を作っている20種類のアミノ酸のうち、体内では合成できない9種類のアミノ酸。 どれかひとつでも欠けると、筋肉・血液・骨が作れなくなる。 これらの栄養分はサプリメントでも摂取できますが、 糀食品から摂取すると、なんと体内吸収率は90％以上なのです。
