The purpose of the present invention is to prevent the increase in viscosity of a raw material mixture and also prevent the formation of a micropowder that may deteriorate production yield, and/or suppress an unpleasant taste inherent in a plant extract in the production of granules containing the plant extract by extrusion granulation. The present invention relates to a method for producing granules containing a plant extract, characterized by comprising the step of extrusion-granulating a raw material mixture containing the plant extract, wherein the water content in the raw material mixture is 1 to 10% (w/w) and the raw material mixture contains shellac.
To reduce bitterness in the ingestion of a turmeric-derived component-containing composition for oral ingestion which is to be masticated in the oral cavity and/or dissolved in the oral cavity. In a turmeric-derived component-containing composition for oral ingestion which is to be masticated in the oral cavity and/or dissolved in the oral cavity, the bitterness of the turmeric-derived component is reduced by adding granular calcium lactate thereto. In a chewable tablet containing a turmeric-derived component, the bitterness of the turmeric-derived component is reduced and, at the same time, such a hardness as to facilitate biting and grinding in the oral cavity is imparted by adding granular calcium lactate thereto.
