【Major features】
In the latter half of February 2022, while shipments of white vegetables in Ibaraki Prefecture, which boasts the highest production value in Japan, peaked, the spread of the new coronavirus infection caused a prolonged price decline due to a decrease in demand for eating out, and producers were seriously hit. Received. The unit price in the market has dropped to half of what it was before the Corona disaster, and it seems that some cases have been forced to adjust shipments in order to maintain a balance between supply and demand in the production areas. According to the Prefectural Sales Strategy Department, the transaction volume of Chinese cabbage produced in Ibaraki Prefecture in the Tokyo Metropolitan Central Wholesale Market in 2021 was 2.66 billion yen, a significant decrease of about 40% from the previous year (4.51 billion yen) rice field. The monthly unit price in January 2022 was 36 yen, but the average unit price in January 2016-20 before the Corona disaster was 72.8 yen, which seems to have dropped to about half. The person in charge of the prefecture said that the demand for the food service industry was declining, and the Chinese cabbage was in short supply and the unit price fell. He explained that the adjustment of shipment was also one of the reasons for the decrease in transaction volume. Producers’ voices were urgent, and he said that the unit price did not rise and he was in the red, and he was in a difficult situation not only for labor costs but also for fertilizers and pesticides. Although it has been affected by the spread prevention measures in March, farmers and related parties have made many times more efforts and endured it. We hope that the government will take generous measures, but unless the judgment criteria of Ibaraki Prefecture and the most important government are clarified rather than Yuki City, the hardships of producers will be unbearable. The “Yuki Jazz Festival” aimed at the revival of the jazz town of Yuki was held on February 27, 2022 at the Citizens’ Culture Center Across in Chuo Town, Yuki City, Ibaraki Prefecture. A special unit led by Takana Miyamoto, a pianist from the same city (an internationally active pianist and composer based in Japan and the United States), and Keizo Nakanishi, a vocalist (30th anniversary of the entertainment life), “Keizo Nakanishi’s morning” “Bura Walk Special Edition” (Travel Channel) 3/12 (Sat) Hikari TV (preceding broadcast on NTT Plala Inc.) and others appeared, and the fans were excited. For 20 years until 2015, it relaunched as an event to replace the “Tsumugi no Sato Sound Festa” held in a park in the city. It seems that a jazz band from a university and a high school joined in to celebrate the resurrection lively. It was scheduled to be held in August last year, but it was postponed due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection. I would like to start with the explanation of Kamiyamakawa Suwa Shrine (religious corporation Suwa Shrine), which has a long history and is scattered near the producer’s field. The growth of fine agricultural products is the result of the wisdom of our predecessors and the efforts of the workers who continue to protect them. Yuki Suwa Shrine, the ritual deity, and Suwa Taisha Shrine (Takeminakata God: A powerful god in the Suwa region of Shinano Province. The main deity of Suwa Shrine, which is based in Suwa Taisha Shrine in Nagano Prefecture and spreads all over the country. This god, which is handed down in the form of a hero god in the tradition of Suwa Shinto shrine, seems to have been worshiped as a hunting god from ancient times. It is associated with the spirits that dwell in weapons such as bows and arrows used for hunting, and it is said that faith began as a god with excellent military power. In addition, Suwa God’s development is a divine spirit that is deeply related to the lives of local people because he watches over agriculture as a god of water sources and a god of wind.) are said to be worshiped as “the god of victory in all things” that is beneficial for various games. It seems that it has brought victory to Fujiwara no Hidesto-Ko, Tomomitsu Yuki-Ko, and many other military commanders since the Heian period. The grand kagura performance at Ise of Suwa Shrine was held on October 12, 2016 at the time of Their Majesties the Queen and Queen of Belgium and Their Majesties the Emperor and Empress (Akihito retired emperor and Empress Michiko) in Yuki City. It has been shown. Now, let me introduce a simple but production area. “Yuki City, Ibaraki Prefecture”, One of the few cities that leaves a medieval castle town in the northern part of the city. A new urban area is formed in the south, and further south is the Agriculture area. The terrain is generally flat and covered by the loamy layer of the Kanto Region. Yuki Plateau: A tributary of the Tone River; Sandwiched between the rivers of kinugawa / tagawa and Nishinire River-One of the Josou Plateau. A relatively high, gentle low-ridge slope with an altitude of 20 to 45 m above sea level. City flowers: lilies: It is a pure Japanese flower that is easy to get close to, easy to cultivate, and does not take up much space. In addition, it is suitable for general households, and you can enjoy the fragrance when the flowers are in full bloom. Its neatness brings out a unique atmosphere in “Tsumugi（Pongee）no Village” Yuki City. Flower appearance’s unassumingly attitude was chosen to symbolize City. There are many types, but no particular type has been decided-Established on November 10, 1980. City Tree: Mulberry: There is a connection to tradition. Yuki-Tsumugi /Sericulturist: Mulberries, which are closely related, have been planted in the city for a long time: Both were chosen in the hope of growth. Mulberries are brilliant when the spring sprouts sprout. It shows beauty and is generally familiar and prized as a famous tree. It’s the beauty of fresh green that you can see. Mr. Buson Yosa（1716-1786）: After his teacher’s death in 1742, he went to live with Gantou ISAOKA in Yuki, the kingdom of Shimousa (Yuki City, Ibaraki Prefecture) at the age of 27. He admired Mr. Basho MATSUO so much that he followed in his footsteps on a trip to the Tohoku region. It can be seen from the ruins and burial mounds that remain in various parts of the city that the ancient Yuki region was economically open with good water transportation. After the Taika Reform, Yuki District was established as part of the country of Shimousa. In the first half of the 8th century, the abandoned temple of Yuki and the county were built. In 935, the Taira no Masakado-Ko turbulence broke out. The Yuki region also became a battlefield, and the legend of Masakado was left here. The history of Yuki, a castle town, begins with the advent of Tomomitsu YUKI-Ko. After supporting the establishment of the Kamakura Shogunate by serving by Yoritomo-Ko, Tomomitsu-Ko built a pavilion in Yuki and became the first head of the family, and after that, he became the first head of the family, and the rule of the Yuki family for about 400 years was solidified. In 1214, Shinran saint, the founder of the Jodo Shinshu sect, came to Hitachi Province. Tomomitsu-Ko is said to have opened the Shomyoji Temple by inviting Shinran’s high-ranking younger brother, Shinbutsu（Senshuji Temple II, Bukkoji Temple II）-Ko. Since Tomomitsu-Ko, the Yuki family has protected and nurtured the tsumugi industry for generations, and Yuki tsumugi has been counted as one of the national specialties. During the Muromachi period, Mr. Yuki was defeated and cut off in the Yuki battle caused by the 11th dynasty. However, it was revived during the Warring States period, and overcame many battles to further develop the castle town of Yuki. However, when Ieyasu Tokugawa took over the world, Hideyasu-Ko 18th (The first feudal lord of the Kitanosho feudal clan in Echizen Province and the first originator of the Echizen Matsudaira family.) Was ordered to be transferred to Echizen, and the rule of Mr. Yuki came to an end. The Mizuno family (Yuki Mizuno family and Yamakawa Mizuno family), who are closely related to the Tokugawa family, ruled this area during the Edo period. Tadamoto MIZUNO-Ko ruled the land of Yamakawa from 1615 to 1635. In 1700, Katsunaga Mizuno-Ko entered the prefecture from Noto. Three years later, Yuki Castle was allowed to be rebuilt, and Yuki was revived as a castle town. Yuki is located at the key point of the Kinugawa River, which is the main artery of the Edo economy, and has become extremely prosperous as a distribution center for Yuki tsumugi and agricultural products. Around this time, Mr. Buson YOSA, who is famous as a poet and painter in the Edo period, moved to the poet Mr. Ganto ISAOKA in 1742 and stayed in Yuki for about 10 years. He toured with a nearby haiku poet and left behind many haiku poems about Yuki. In addition, Mr. Buson moved to Shojuin Gugyoji Temple (Jodo sect; A temple that is one of the 18 Kanto forests. Hideyasu-Ko, the 18th generation of the Yuki family, invited Zonpa（At the age of nine, he entered the Honorary Teiha’s room and practiced, and after studying in Nanto and Kyoto, he founded Enten Temple in Kanpu Village, Inba District, Shimousa Province (Sakura City, Chiba Prefecture). In the first year of the Tensho era (1573), he became Gugyoji Temple IX, but he was burned by the battle between Ujinao HOJO-Ko and Shigetsune TAGAYA-Ko and escaped to his younger wife. When Hideyasu Yuki’s breathing daughter Matsuhime (Matsujuin) died on January 9, 1594, he served as a mentor, donated fifty stones of the temple territory, and rebuilt Kokyoji Temple in Yuki.）’s superior to the early life of Matsuhime (daughter) and built it.) and left behind fusuma paintings such as sumi plum, cherry blossom, and landscape. In the Meiji era, Yuki began to walk as a sericulture village and a town of pongee. In 1954, one town and four villages merged to form Yuki City. At that time, industries such as pongee, paulownia products, kanpyo, and leather shoes were thriving, and wholesalers lined up in the city. Yuki Tsumugi was registered as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2010, and the name of Yuki City is spreading both at home and abroad. The city, which still retains its original form as a medieval castle town, is steadily developing while preserving its rich history and cultural heritage. Welsh Onion Formerly known as Siberia, it has now been denied and is speculated to be from western China, northern Central Asia to the Altai and Baykal regions. It has been introduced to China since prehistoric times, and it seems that a group of green onions that mainly use soft white roots has been distributed mainly in the North China and Northeast China regions, and a group of leaf onions that mainly eat leaves have developed in the Central China, South China, and South Sea regions. In addition, it is said that all-purpose dual-purpose species have been cultivated for a long time, mainly in North China and Central China. In China, records of green onions have been found since BC. In old books, Sankaikyo (a book of ancient Chinese myths and geography) and rituals (one of the Five Classics, a collection of theories about ancient rituals), green onions appear in the character of “green onion”, and in the rituals It is famous that the cooking method is written. In addition, Erya (ancient Chinese dictionary) is given the basic name of the genus Allium as “green onion”, and there is a word “han green onion” to distinguish it from the migrant species such as “hu green onion”. The Qimin Jijutsu (China’s oldest agricultural book) describes how to gather the soil to soften the green onions. It is distributed mainly in the Northern Hemisphere worldwide, and there are about 300 varieties. There are many wild onions, especially in the high mountains of Central Asia. One of these high mountains, the Pamir Plateau, is called Congling in Chinese. It is said that Buddha practiced in this plateau, but Buddhism is also called Pamir Mountains. A group of vegetables called scallion, or allium, are plants belonging to the monocotyledonous family, Liliales and Allium. Liliaceae plants include Allium, Lily of the valley, Birthroots, and more than 240 genera, about 4,000 species. It is said to be the second largest producer of lettuce in Ibaraki prefecture. As you all know, we ship about 700,000 cases of annual production and are highly evaluated in the market as “produced in Yuki”. In addition, it has been certified as a brand production area in Ibaraki prefecture, and it is a vegetable that represents Kita Tsukuba in both name and reality. There is a mark of “Yuki-kun (registered trademark)” on the shipping box, indicating that it is from Yuki. JA Kita Tsukuba Yuki Horticulture Subcommittee Lettuce Department is said to have 110 producers cultivating lettuce in the fall and winter with about 90 ha. Shipments will continue until December, and it is expected that the shipment quantity will be 350,000 cases (lettuce 1 case 7 kg to 9.5 kg, leaf 1 case 4.5 kg) this year. The official name of “red leaf lettuce” is plyts head, which is a kind of leaf lettuce. Approximately 94% is water, and it is a green-yellow vegetable characterized by soft leaves with deep purple leaves with curly leaves along the veins without heading like ball lettuce. The diameter of one plant is about 20 to 30 cm, and the impression is that there is almost no bitterness. It is more nutritious than ordinary lettuce, and I heard that it contains about 8 times more carotene, 3-4 times more vitamin E, vitamin K, and vitamin C, about 2 times more potassium, and about 6 times more iron. Therefore, it is synonymous with healthy vegetables.

The photochemical decomposition of AAH2 was greatly accelerated by the existence of chlorophyll a and pheophytin, and the photodecomposition rate was also promoted with Cu-chlorophyllin-Na and Fe-chlorophyllin-Na, especially, by the former.Cu-chlorophyllin-Na itself oxidized AAH2. 2. The photodecomposition of chlorophyll-AAH2 system was protected with the co-existence of K3 Fe (CN) 6, p-quinone and β-carotene. However, the effect of p-quinone seems to be accelerated the photodecomposition of chlorophyll-AAH2 system in higher concentration. 3. Chloropyll, and pheophytin have comparatively strong fluorescence intensity, whereas Cu-chlorophyllin-Na and Fe-chlorophyllin-Na have week fluorescence intensity. The mutuality relationship was found between the fluorescence intensity of the reaction system and the photochemical decomposition of AAH2. Hiroshima Univ.

クロロゲン酸: C16H18O9; Chlorogenic acid is a well-known antioxidative compound. We investigated the content and behavior of chlorogenic acid derivatives with DPPH radical scavenging activity in sweet potato prepared by various cooking methods. A significant correlation was obtained between the chlorogenic acid content and DPPH radical scavenging activity. While the content and activity in sweet potato cooked with water were substantially retained, roasting in a convection oven resulted in their lower retention due to the higher temperature of around 200℃. We propose that chlorogenic acid could be effectively taken in sweet potato when cooked in a microwave oven or steamed, and also simmered with the cooking water after boiling.（Institute of Nutrition Sciences, Kagawa Nutrition University with Kagawa Nutrition University, Journal of cookery science of Japan 2005）

バリン（C5H11NO2, SMILES: CC(C)[C@@H](C(=O)O)N）: Energy is metabolized in muscle tissue and is involved in growth. Branched Chain Amino Acids（BCAA: Similar to leucine and isoleucine）: Expected to adjust the nitrogen balance in blood and improve liver function.
ヒスチジン（C6H9N3O2: 2-Amino-3-(1H-imidazol-4-yl)propanoic acid: It is said to have the effect of suppressing oxidative stress (ischaemia reperfusion), and there are cases of action such as increased insulin secretion. When neonatal screening is abnormal and when amino acid acid metabolism disorder is presumed: I heard that an increase in a specific concentration is a powerful clue to the diagnosis. In the nutritional disorder called cardiac cachexia seen in Chronic congestive heart failure, etc., aromatic amino acids increase and branched chain amino acids and histidine decrease. Since it is abundant in “hemoglobin（Proteins present in red blood cells）”, there is a risk of anemia if it is insufficient. In some cases, it was suggested that the anti-obesity effect was attenuated by “proline（Pyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid）”.
アルギニン（C6H14N4O2: (S)-2-Amino-5-guanidinopentanoic acid）; Expected to help the body produce energy, increase growth hormone secretion, build muscle, and improve male function. Promotes fat metabolism to strengthen muscle tissue and promote height growth. TCA cycle: Adenosine Triphosphate（C10H16N5O13P3）, It enhances the function of the urea cycle in the liver and promotes the recovery of brain fatigue quickly. Ammonia（NH3）inhibits its function, but ingestion promotes detoxification. Expected to be effective as part of the Natural Moisturizing Factor（NMF）of the stratum corneum.
アラニン（C3H7NO2: 2-Aminopropanoic acid）; It is a synthetic raw material for sugar and has the energy generation function of the living body. The action of secreting the hormone Glucagon（Peptide hormone: 29 amino acid; In the Liver, it activates protein kinase a through binding to specific receptors and cyclic adenosine monophosphate (AMP: cAMP-dependent protein kinase (Protein kinase A); Protein kinase（Phosphorylating enzyme）) production., which is secreted when blood sugar concentration is low and promotes the breakdown of glycogen（C6H10O5)n: Discovered as a liver component by Mr. Claude Bernard in Burgundy, France in 1856.
アスパラギン酸（C4H7NO4: Aminosuccinic acid, asparagic acid; The role of increasing the absorption of K and Mg and decomposing and promoting lactic acid. Located closest to the TCA cycle of the body, which is the place of energy production.）It is located closest to the TCA cycle（Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle: Citric Acid Cycle）of the body, which is the place of energy production. In 1937, German’s chemist and doctor Hans Adolf Krebs finds the circuit.England: Received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1953. Discovery of the Ornithine cycle of Urea synthesis: A cycle that draws out internal combustion. Decomposes fat and lactic acid and converts them into energy（Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle）.
グルタミン酸（C5H9NO4: 2-Aminopentanedioic acid: In animals, it can be synthesized from non-essential amino acids, that is, other organic compounds. Discovered by Mr. Karl Heinrich Leopold Ritthausen in 1866 in the acid hydrolyzate of gluten, a wheat protein. It is famous as a raw material for glutathione and GABA (4-aminobutanoic acid).It can be biosynthesized from “2-Oxopentanedioic acid” and “ammonia（NH3）”. It conveys information to nerves by binding to and activating N-methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA) -type receptors. D-serine（It has the enzyme serine racemase (SRR) synthesized by Glial cells（It acts to give an energy source to nerve cells in the brain and builds an energy environment: A cell that fills parts of the brain other than nerve cells and supports the functions of nerve cells from various aspects.）located in a specific region of the hippocampus.）regulates stimulus volume. It is believed that the Synapse connection will be strengthened, giving memory and learning. There seems to be a hypothesis that the diseases alzheimer dementia and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis are caused by too much stimulation of the “NMDA receptor”.）
グリシン（Glycocholic: C2H5NO2; Aminoethanoic acid）; In the Nerve system, it also functions as an amino acid (Collagen: Protein, Elastin（Elastic fiber）, Keratin（△Cystine）, Sericin（C30H40N10O16）.), which is mainly responsible for inhibitory synaptic transmission between the brain stem and spinal cord. The feature is that there are no stereoisomers（The opposite sex with different three-dimensional directions of atoms in space.）such as D-form and L-form. Not only does it improve the shelf life of food, but it also has a sweet taste and is used as a seasoning. Porphyrins（Porphyra; Hemoglobin as an oxygen carrier in human blood (Erythrocyte) is prominent.） related to the function of carrying oxygen in the blood and creatine（C4H9N3O2; A small amount in the brain.）essential for muscle exercise.
プロリン（C5H9NO2, SMILES: OC(=O)C1CCCN1）: The main composition of collagen（Protein; A polymer compound formed by linking (polymerizing) a large number of 21 types of amino acids in a chain: Hydroxyproline（C5H9NO3））, which is abundant in gelatin and animal skins.
セリン（C3H7NO3: 2-Amino-3-hydroxypropionic acid）; A raw material for Phosphatidylserine（C13H24NO10P,Phospholipid – Signal transduction）, a component of cell membranes. It is one of the important moisturizing ingredients to maintain the moisture content of the skin, and can be a raw material for “glycine” that is close to the same ingredient. It is the Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF: Small molecules such as Amino acids, pyrrolidone carboxylic acids (and their salts), urea, mineral salts, organic acids (and their salts).) of the skin and is the most abundant in amino acid.
カリウム: K; It interacts with “sodium”, which is abundant in extracellular fluid. It works to maintain the osmotic pressure of cells and retain water. After ingestion and absorption in the small intestine, it is transported to tissues throughout the body, most of which is excreted by the kidneys. It is maintained by regulation of reabsorption in the kidney, and the k concentration in blood is maintained between 3.6 and 4.8 meq / l. Together with sodium, it maintains cell osmotic pressure. It works to suppress nerve stimulus transmission, functional regulation of heart and muscle, and intracellular enzyme reaction（I have to add proton transfer equilibrium）. I heard that about 200g is contained in the body of an adult, Potassium.
カルシウム: Ca; In the body, the amount in cells and blood is strictly controlled. Tendency to move from bone to blood as needed. About 99% is stored in bone, but also in the blood of cells and muscles. If you don’t get the calcium you need, you risk mobilizing large amounts of calcium in your bones and weakening your bones. To maintain normal blood calcium levels, it is necessary to take at least 1000-1500 mg daily. Parathyroid hormone（PTH）and Thyrocalcitonin（Made by the cells of the thyroid gland, hormones have the function of lowering the calcium concentration in the blood by delaying the breakdown of bones.）; It is made up of four parathyroid glands behind the thyroid gland in the neck. As the calcium concentration in In blood rises, the amount of hormones produced by the parathyroid glands tends to decrease. It stimulates bones to release calcium into the blood and reduces the amount of calcium excreted by the kidneys into the urine. Increases calcium absorption by stimulating alimentary canal to increase calcium absorption by promoting the activation of vitamin D in the kidneys.
マグネシウム: Mg; Vinegar has been known to solubilize insoluble calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) in food, however, the difference in solubilization ability among various kinds of vinegar has not been investigated. In this study, solubilization of Ca and Mg from coral powder and beef bone powder was compared with several kinds of vinegar. Calcium solubilization was observed to be high in grain vinegar, cider vinegar and wine vinegar, and low in rice vinegar and un-polished rice vinegar. On the other hand, magnesium solubilization was high in rice vinegar, wine vinegar and cider vinegar, and low in grain vinegar and un-polished rice vinegar. Calcium solubilization of coral powder was significantly negatively correlated with the pH of vinegar, while Mg solubilization was not. Comparison of solubilization of Ca in un-polished rice vinegar and acetic acid solution suggested that the phosphorus content was also responsible for solubilization in un-polished vinegar. These results suggest that ingredients in vinegar, as well as acidity and pH, affect solubilization of Ca and Mg from food when cooked with vinegar. Characterization of Solubilization of Insoluble Calcium and Magnesium with Various Kinds of Vinegar,Nakano Central Research Institute, Nakano Vinegar Co., Ltd. and Department of Applied Biological Chemistry, Faculty of Agriculture, Tohoku University with Nippon shokuhin kagaku kogaku kaishi = Journal of the Japanese Society for Food Science and Technology 45(11), 655-662, 1998-11-15）
リン: P;（Leakage in urine causes symptoms such as hypoproteinemia, decreased renal function, and hyperphosphatemia.）The amount of phosphorus per 1 g of protein contains about 15 mg, and the intake correlates with the protein intake. The role of combining and strengthening bones and teeth. Higher blood phosphate levels tend to make bones brittle. Calcium tends to combine and become coal in other than bones such as blood vessels and tendons.
鉄: Fe; It is attracting attention as one of the world’s three major deficient micronutrients along with vitamin A and Iodine（I2; In 1811, Discovered by burning seaweed with potassium carbonate, which is the raw material for potassium nitrate by Bernard Courtois（仏）.）Non‐heme iron（Fe）（Included in vegetables, eggs and milk.）; By taking it with foods rich in high-quality protein and vitamin C, the absorption rate into the body is improved. Fe shortage of women due to blood loss, a big problem for expectant mother and lactating women whose demand increases. Due to the metabolism of the body, about 1 mg of iron（Fe）is lost in adult men and about 0.8 mg in women per day. Ferritin（A globular protein complex consisting of 24 proteins.）has a role of suppressing deficiency and excess, and is also called stored Fe. About 90% of anemia is iron deficiency, which is deficient in fe, one of the important materials of hemoglobin.
銅: Cu; It has been known for a long time as a trace essential mineral, which is present in the human body at about 80 mg. It binds to proteins and plays a role in catalyzing a wide range of in vivo reactions. Tendency to be mainly present in bone, skeletal muscle and blood. Although it is involved in hematopoietic function as well as Fe, no reports have been heard regarding the adverse effects of chronic overdose, except for some diseases. Monovalent compounds exist as insoluble salts and complex salts.Divalent salts and complex salts are common. It is absorbed from the small and duodenum and transported to the liver through the portal vein. I hear that the lower the intake, the higher the absorption rate, and the higher the intake, the lower the absorption rate. Large amounts of divalent iron and tin ions competitively inhibit the absorption of copper from the gastrointestinal tract. Inborn errors of copper metabolism（Wilson’s disease）: Protein binding: Hepatolenticular degeneration.It acts as a Cu enzyme and acts as a catalyst for various reactions such as O2 transport, electron transfer, redox, and O2 addition. Important for Fe metabolism and transport, removal of active oxygen, and metabolism of neurotransmitters. Deficiencies can result from hereditary malabsorption or are acquired, but are not found in the normal life of healthy people. On the other hand, cases of symptoms are given to Babies whose main source of nutrition is low-content milk. Insufficiency may cause anemia, leukopenia, and bone abnormalities that do not respond to Fe administration. In addition, there are decreased immune function, cardiovascular abnormalities, and abnormal cholesterol and glucose metabolism. However, this is less frequent.
亜鉛: Zn; Zinc‐deficiency symptom: A state in which the zinc concentration in the blood is below 80 μg / dL to 130 μg / dL. Dermatitis, stomatitis, alopecia, pressure ulcer due to lack. Loss of appetite, developmental disorders, hypogonadism, susceptibility, dysgeusia, anemia, infertility, etc.Various symptoms occur and tend to improve with zinc supplementation.
マンガン: Mn; Functions as an enzyme activation and a component of metal enzymes. It is a silver-white metal with an atomic number of 25 and an atomic weight of 54.94, and its surface is oxidized in the air.I hear that 12（For a weight of 70 kg）to 20 milligramme is present in the body of an adult. It acts directly with many elements, gradually reacts with water, and is easily dissolved in acids. Absorbed by inhalation, oral or transdermal: Ingested from the diet, it dissolves as divalent by gastric acid and becomes trivalent by the oxidative mechanism of intestinal cells. It is absorbed, transported to the liver through vena portalis, secreted from the bile into the intestinal tract, and mostly excreted as feces. Since absorption competes with Fe, manganese tends to be less likely to be absorbed if the iron content in the diet is high. It is abundant in mitochondria, and is contained in high concentrations in pigmented areas in the body such as the retina, hair, and skin pigmented areas. It suggests specific and non-specific effects on many enzyme activities such as oxidoreductase, hydrolase, dehydrogenase, and transferase. It is also a component of arginine-degrading enzyme, lactate dehydrogenase, and manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD). Examples include connective tissue and bone formation, inner ear growth formation, glucose tolerance, fertility, lipid metabolism, growth and involvement in brain function.
モリブデン: Mo; In the human body, it acts as a component of the molybdenum enzyme that catalyzes the redox reaction. I’ve heard that hypervitaminosis is not a problem because it is relatively less toxic than other heavy metals. It dissolves in hot concentrated sulfur acid, but does not react with H2O, hydrochloric acid（HCl）,and dilute sulfuric acid（H2SO4）and does not dissolve. It is abundant in the liver and kidneys in the body and tends to be easily absorbed in the stomach and small intestine. Xanthine oxidase（NAD+-xanthine dehydrogenase）, aldehyde oxidase, and sulfite oxidase are known as constituents. Insufficiency often causes tachycardia, hyperventilation, night blindness, etc. due to long-term complete parenteral nutrition. However, I heard that the administration is expected to improve the symptoms. In healthy people, hypervitaminosis is not a problem in a normal diet because it is excreted quickly even if it is ingested excessively. Chronic poisoning can cause gout-like symptoms such as joint pain and hyperuricemia. Acute poisoning can cause gastrointestinal disorders with diarrhea, leading to coma and heart failure. It is abundant in cereals, legumes and nuts.
ヨウ素: I; It is taken into the thyroid gland and synthesizes thyroid hormone.It is indispensable because it promotes metabolism and, in the case of children, promotes growth together with growth hormone. Seaweed is especially contained, and kelp is by far the best, followed by hijiki seaweed. I heard that it is the main component of Lugol’s（Created in 1829 by French doctor J.G.A. Lugol.）iodine used for disinfection such as treatment of inflammation and teeth. The most in demand is the raw material for X-ray contrast and opaque media, which is used for the diagnosis of blood vessels and various organs. Used as a stabilizer to prevent chemical deterioration of polyamide（polymer）. Iodine deficiency is prevented by making it easier to take iodine on a daily basis by using salt with elementary compounds added to the soil.

Ibaraki Prefecture has the second largest lettuce production in Japan after Nagano Prefecture. Among them, JA Kita Tsukuba has the second largest lettuce production in the prefecture. to love one to distraction lettuce is a brand lettuce made by four JAs including JA Kita Tsukuba. It is fresh and fresh, and the mesophyll is soft.
JA Kita Tsukuba (Chikusei City) is an ever-increasing abandoned cultivated land (land that was previously cultivated in the Agriculture and Forestry Census, and has not been cultivated for more than a year, and has no idea of cultivating it again in the last few years. In addition, unused farmland is not actually used for the purpose of cultivation under the Agricultural Land Law (No. 229, July 15, 1952), and continues to be used. Agricultural land that is not expected to be used for cultivating purposes, and that the degree of agricultural use is considered to be significantly inferior to the degree of use of agricultural land in the surrounding area, and is defined as agricultural land for effective use of agricultural land. Agricultural land for which measures should be taken regarding idle farmland. Agricultural land is not actually used for cultivation in the agricultural land survey, and is devastated by abandonment of cultivation. On February 4, 2014, we established an agricultural production corporation, a subsidiary that regenerates agricultural land that meets the standards that are possible and that has been identified through field surveys) and cultivates agricultural products. The agricultural management business, which was entered by JA itself, has been moved to a new company, which is currently linked to speeding up decision-making and streamlining operations. We are aiming to realize highly competitive agriculture that can survive the harsh business environment such as the aging of the bearers, the difficulty of successors, and the liberalization of trade. Agricultural production corporation “JA Kita Tsukuba Agri Farm” (Chikusei City) has been established with the investment of JA and officers.
In the production process, we use special fertilizers rich in organic matter, stick to making healthy soil, and pursue high quality. In addition, since the cultivation is thoroughly managed and recorded, elderly people and children can eat with confidence. One of our commitments is to cool it to around 5 ° C immediately after harvesting and ship it while maintaining its freshness. In recognition of our daily efforts, we have been designated as a “Ibaraki Prefecture Fruit and Vegetable Brand Production Area” that is given to production areas that have cleared strict standards such as quality and safety.
