PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing lactic bacterium-containing royal jelly tablets containing live bacteria of lactic bacterium, prevented from discoloring to brown or blackish brown through oxidation, and suppressed in quality deterioration caused by decomposition of the ingredients therein by gastric juice. SOLUTION: This method for producing lactic bacterium-containing royal jelly tablets comprises such processes that a granular mixture formed by mixing and stirring dry powdery royal jelly, live bacteria powder of lactic bacterium, a vehicle and a lubricant, is dried through dehumidification at low temperatures to a tablet-producible state, a coating is formed using a shellac alcohol solution on the surface of the green tablets made through compressing the resultant granular mixture with a tableting machine at <=40% relative humidity and <=20 deg.C, the resultant tablets are subjected to a coating process to give them enteric properties through coating an alcohol solution of a mixture of shellac and alcohol-soluble protein extracted from cereals followed by sugarcoating thereon, and then a densification treatment is done on the resultant sugarcoating film under a humidifying condition followed by subjecting the sugarcoating layer thus densified to polishing treatment. The royal jelly tablets thus produced are such ones as not to be dissolved by gastric juice, as to have excellent enteric properties, sustain a stable quality for a long period and also exhibit an excellent effect in the function to put the intestine in order. |
