Description

本発明は、コーヒー果実の高圧処理物の製造方法およびコーヒー果実の高圧処理方法に関する。
The present invention relates to a method for producing a high-pressure processed product of coffee fruit and a high-pressure processing method for coffee fruit .

コーヒー果実は、外皮、果肉、ぬめりの有る内果皮(パーチメント)、銀皮(シルバースキン)、種子の構造になっている(図1)。種子の外側の部分を取り除いたものが生豆、さらに生豆を焙煎挽きしてコーヒー飲料として利用される。
コーヒー果実からコーヒー豆に精製するためには、コーヒー果実を収穫した後に速やかにパルプ等の果皮や果肉を除去機(パルパー)で剥離し、発酵工程を経て、水洗・乾燥して種子が取り出される工程を経ることが知られている。これが、(1)水洗式(ウォッシュト法)と呼ばれる精製方法である。
Coffee fruit has a structure of outer skin, pulp, inner skin (parchment) with a slimy texture, silver skin (silver skin), and seeds (Fig. 1). The seeds from which the outer part is removed are green beans, and the green beans are roasted and ground to be used as a coffee beverage.
In order to refine coffee beans into coffee beans, after peeling the fruit and pulp of pulp etc. with a remover (pulper) after harvesting the coffee fruits, the fermentation process is followed by washing and drying, and the seeds are taken out. It is known to go through a process. This is the purification method called (1) water washing method (washed method).

一方、前記発酵工程を経ないでぬめりの付いたまま脱穀する(2)スマトラ式(ウエットハル法)や前記発酵工程を経ないでぬめりの付いたまま乾燥し脱穀する(3)ブラジル式(パルプトナチュラル法)、そして収穫したコーヒー果実をそのまま十分乾燥した後で脱穀するシンプルな(4)自然乾燥式(ナチュラル法)もあり、これら方法はコーヒー果実の生産地で古くから発展してきた。また精製方法や焙煎方法等の違いによって、風味の異なるコーヒーが愛用されている。 On the other hand, threshing with slime without the fermentation step (2) Sumatra type (wet-hull method) and threshing with slime without the fermentation step (3) Brazilian type (pulp (Natural method), and a simple (4) natural drying method (natural method) in which the harvested coffee fruits are sufficiently dried and then threshed, and these methods have been developed since ancient times in the production areas of coffee fruits. In addition, coffees with different flavors are often used due to differences in refining methods and roasting methods.

しかしながら、いずれの精製方式でも大きな問題点を有している。例えば(1)水洗式や(2)スマトラ式、(3)ブラジル式は、パルパー処理の際に大量の水を使用する為に果肉部から多くの水溶性成分が流出し、当該成分を回収する場合には濃縮工程が必要となり、またその為には多くのエネルギーと時間を要する問題がある。(4)自然乾燥式は、長時間の天日乾燥により抗酸化成分の多くが酸化反応により消失することや一部腐敗の危険性をはらむ等の問題を有する。また、(2)スマトラ式や(3)ブラジル式は、ぬめりの付いたまま乾燥する為に、(4)自然乾燥式と同様な問題を有している。 However, any purification method has a serious problem. For example, (1) Washing method, (2) Sumatra method, and (3) Brazilian method use a large amount of water during pulper treatment, so many water-soluble components flow out from the pulp and the components are collected. In this case, a concentration step is required, and there is a problem that it requires a lot of energy and time. (4) The natural drying method has problems such that most of the antioxidant components disappear due to the oxidation reaction due to long-time sun drying, and there is a risk of partial decomposition. In addition, (2) Sumatra type and (3) Brazilian type have the same problems as (4) natural drying type because they dry while being slimy.

このように、世界で広く採用されている上記(1)〜(4)のコーヒー豆の精製は、生産地の熱帯地域において行われることが多く、雑菌による種子の腐敗の進行も心配され、収穫後は速やかに精製工程を実施する必要がある。
特許文献1には、収穫後のコーヒー果実の日持ちを良くする為のコーヒー果実の処理方法として、精製工程の前に、コーヒー果実を熱水で処理する方法が開示されている。

一方、コーヒー果実には多くの有益な食品有効成分が含まれていることから、特許文献2には、コーヒー果実全体(種子部を含む)を急速乾燥して粉砕して水で有効成分を抽出、そしてSEC法(サイズ排除クロマトグラフィー法)で高分子〜低分子の多糖類、ポリフェノール系のコーヒー酸、カフェイン等を分離する方法が開示されている。 On the other hand, since many beneficial food active ingredients are contained in coffee fruits, in Patent Document 2, the whole coffee fruits (including the seed portion) are rapidly dried and crushed to extract the active ingredients with water. , And a method for separating high to low molecular weight polysaccharides, polyphenolic caffeic acid, caffeine and the like by the SEC method (size exclusion chromatography method).

また、特許文献3には、食用物質の抽出物を含む食用組成物であって、前記抽出物が、約0℃〜約80℃の抽出温度及び少なくとも約2000バールの抽出圧力で水を含む抽出媒体中での食用物質の抽出から得られるものである前記組成物が開示されている。 In addition, Patent Document 3 discloses an edible composition containing an extract of an edible substance, wherein the extract contains water at an extraction temperature of about 0° C. to about 80° C. and an extraction pressure of at least about 2000 bar. The composition is disclosed which is obtained from the extraction of an edible substance in a medium.

さらに、特許文献4には、食用抽出生成物の製造方法であって、食用原材料を粒子へと粉砕すること、該食用原材料の粒子を水中で抽出して該食用原材料の抽出物を生成すること、該食用原材料の抽出物を少なくとも1つのフィルタを用いて、該食用原材料の抽出物中のクロロゲン酸の濃度が高まると同時に、該食用原材料の抽出物中の脂肪の濃度が低下するように濾過すること、そして得られた濾過保持液を該食用原材料の濾過された抽出物から分離して、食用抽出生成物を形成することを含む前記製造方法が開示され、食用原材料の抽出物の濾過の前に、該食用原材料の抽出物に酵素を添加することで、炭水化物を凝集する酵素の使用が開示されている。 Further, in Patent Document 4, there is provided a method for producing an edible extract product, which comprises crushing an edible raw material into particles, and extracting particles of the edible raw material in water to produce an extract of the edible raw material. Filtering the edible raw material extract using at least one filter so as to increase the concentration of chlorogenic acid in the edible raw material extract and simultaneously reduce the concentration of fat in the edible raw material extract. And separating the resulting filtered retentate from a filtered extract of the edible raw material to form an edible extract product, the method comprising: Previously, the use of enzymes to aggregate carbohydrates by adding enzymes to the edible raw material extract was disclosed.

以下、本発明の実施形態を詳細に説明する。
図1はコーヒー果実の断面図を示す。コーヒー果実は一般に赤く熟した果実(チェリー)を摘み取る。その果実の構成部は、外側から外皮1、その下部の果肉2、粘液質のペクチン質からなるミューレージ3、内果皮のパーチメント4、及び2つの種子5からなる。
The present invention provides the above-mentioned means, preferably, an aqueous solution containing 0.001 to 10 mass% of enzyme is added to coffee fruit in a range of 100 times or less the mass of coffee fruit. A method for producing a high-pressure processed product of coffee fruit, which comprises a step of performing a high-pressure treatment of 10 to 1000 MPa, and a step of separating at least one processed product of a seed part and a part other than the seed part, and A related dependent invention is provided.
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail.
FIG. 1 shows a sectional view of coffee fruit. Coffee berries are generally picked from red ripe berries (cherries). The constituent part of the fruit is composed of an outer coat 1, a pulp 2 below the outer coat, a mutagen 3 composed of a mucinous pectin substance, a parchment 4 of an inner skin, and two seeds 5 from the outside.

図2は、本発明の実施形態に係るコーヒー果実の高圧処理物の製造方法の概略(一例)を示す。図2では、集荷したコーヒー果実を高圧処理可能な装置内に入れ、高圧処理を施した後、液状物化(種子の周辺にゼリー状物が絡む)された処理物から種子とゼリー状物を分離する。
種子は水洗後に乾燥して生豆として回収、またゼリー状物にはパルプやミューレージ、パーチメント発酵物由来の液状物(水溶液)を分離する工程を表している。
ここで、液状物には、植物繊維質分解物や食品等に有効な成分の物質が含まれている。有益成分の物質の分離には、濾過法や圧縮脱水法、遠心分離法等の採用により、繊維質分解物を除去して、有効成分が溶解した水溶液部を収得することができる。さらにこの水溶液部は、サイズ排除クロマトグラフィー(SEC法、ゲルろ過クロマトグラフィー等)を用いて、有効成分の物質に単離収得することができる。
FIG. 2 shows an outline (one example) of the method for producing a high-pressure processed product of coffee fruit according to the embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 2, the collected coffee fruits are put into a device capable of high-pressure treatment, subjected to high-pressure treatment, and then separated from the seed and the jelly-like substance from the liquefied (jelly-like substance is entangled around seed) To do.
The seeds are washed with water and then dried to be recovered as raw beans, and the jelly-like material represents a step of separating a liquid material (aqueous solution) derived from pulp, murage, or parchmented fermented material.
Here, the liquid substance contains a substance that is an effective component for a plant fiber decomposition product, food, and the like. For separating the substance of the beneficial component, a fibrous decomposition product can be removed by adopting a filtration method, a compression dehydration method, a centrifugal separation method or the like to obtain an aqueous solution part in which the active ingredient is dissolved. Furthermore, this aqueous solution part can be isolated and obtained as a substance of the active ingredient by using size exclusion chromatography (SEC method, gel filtration chromatography, etc.).

本発明の実施形態に係る発明は、コーヒー果実の高圧処理物の製造方法であって、コーヒー果実に10〜1000MPaの高圧処理を施す工程後、種子部と種子部以外の部の少なくとも1種の処理物を分離する工程を含む、コーヒー果実の高圧処理物の製造方法を提供する。
ここで、高圧処理を施す圧力は、常温を超える圧力下であれば良く、著しい効果を発揮する為には圧力10〜1000MPaの範囲が好ましく、さらに30〜800MPaの範囲がより好ましく、50〜600MPaの範囲が望ましい。高圧処理を施す圧力が10MPa未満の場合、本発明の効果を著しく低減してしまう恐れがある。また、処理圧力が1000MPaを超える場合は、高圧処理を施す容器や動力設備等の耐圧性に信頼性を損なう恐れが生じ、安全性の低下や運転時間が長くなる結果、生産コストに大きく影響する結果を招いてしまう恐れがある。また、酵素活性を低減してしまう恐れがある。
The invention according to the embodiment of the present invention is a method for producing a high-pressure processed product of coffee fruit, which comprises a step of subjecting coffee fruit to a high-pressure treatment of 10 to 1000 MPa, and a seed portion and at least one portion other than the seed portion. Provided is a method for producing a high-pressure processed product of coffee fruit, which comprises a step of separating the processed product.
Here, the pressure for the high-pressure treatment may be a pressure higher than room temperature, and a pressure range of 10 to 1000 MPa is preferable, a range of 30 to 800 MPa is more preferable, and a pressure range of 50 to 600 MPa is preferable in order to exert a remarkable effect. The range of is desirable. When the pressure applied with the high pressure treatment is less than 10 MPa, the effects of the present invention may be significantly reduced. Further, when the processing pressure exceeds 1000 MPa, reliability may be impaired in the pressure resistance of the container or power equipment to be subjected to high-pressure processing, resulting in reduced safety and longer operating time, resulting in a large impact on production costs. There is a risk of causing results. In addition, there is a risk that the enzyme activity will be reduced.

このように本発明において、コーヒー果実に高圧処理を施すことにより、コーヒー果実の腐敗や菌の働きを抑え、自己分解酵素を持っているコーヒー果実の酵素の作用を活性化させることができ、従来技術(1)〜(4)に比べて、比べものにならない短時間で、かつ簡易な作業工程により、外皮や果肉、ミューレージ、パーチメント等を取り除くことが可能である。また、外部から積極的に酵素を補填することにより、前記の本発明の効果は加速される。
また、本発明の製造方法では、前記高圧処理を施す工程前に、コーヒー果実の質量に対して100質量倍以下の範囲で、0.001〜10質量%の酵素を含む酵素添加水を投入する工程を含んでも良い。
Thus, in the present invention, by subjecting the coffee fruit to a high-pressure treatment, it is possible to suppress the decay and fungi of the coffee fruit, and activate the action of the enzyme of the coffee fruit that has an autolytic enzyme. Compared with the techniques (1) to (4), it is possible to remove the outer skin, the flesh, the murage, the parchment, etc. in an incomparably short time and by a simple working process. Further, the effect of the present invention described above is accelerated by positively supplementing the enzyme from the outside.
In addition, in the production method of the present invention, before the step of performing the high-pressure treatment, enzyme-added water containing 0.001 to 10 mass% of enzyme is added in a range of 100 times or less the mass of coffee fruit. You may include a process.

本発明の製造方法においては、通常生産地から運び込まれたコーヒー果実は選別も兼ねてタンク水等に投入され、ゴミ選別とコーヒー果実の洗浄の後に、高圧処理装置内に移され、水の無添加下又は所定量の水を投入して高圧処理が行われる。ここで、加水量は、好ましくは被処理物のコーヒー果実の質量に対して、10倍量未満が良く、さらに5倍量未満がより好ましく、3倍量未満が望ましい。加水量が10倍量を超えると、高圧処理後に収得する液状物の溶液量が増えてしまう結果、その後の有効成分を含む水溶液の濃縮に多くのエネルギーと時間を要してしまい、有効成分の単離を困難にする恐れがある。 In the production method of the present invention, the coffee fruits normally transported from the production site are put into tank water or the like for the purpose of sorting as well, and after the garbage sorting and the washing of the coffee fruits, they are transferred into the high-pressure processing apparatus and the water is removed. High-pressure treatment is performed under addition or by adding a predetermined amount of water. Here, the amount of water added is preferably less than 10 times, more preferably less than 5 times, more preferably less than 3 times the mass of the coffee fruit to be treated. If the amount of water added exceeds 10 times, the amount of the liquid material obtained after the high-pressure treatment increases, resulting in a large amount of energy and time required for the subsequent concentration of the aqueous solution containing the active ingredient, and May make isolation difficult.

また、本発明では、好ましくは高圧処理を施す工程前に、酵素添加を行うのが良く、例えばコーヒー果実の乾燥固形質量に対して、酵素を0.01〜5質量%の範囲で用いるのが良く、0.1〜2質量%の範囲がさらに望ましい。酵素添加量が0.01未満であるとパルプ等の液状化の働きを最大限に発揮できない恐れがあり、また5質量%を超えて用いる場合には生産コストの大幅なアップになってしまう。酵素は、パーチメントに残った果肉の一部を除去するため水槽で発酵させる働きがあり、さらに高圧環境では発酵の反応が促進される。その結果、有益な発酵成分を多く産生することができる。 Further, in the present invention, it is preferable to add an enzyme, preferably before the step of subjecting to high-pressure treatment. For example, the enzyme is used in an amount of 0.01 to 5% by mass based on the dry solid mass of coffee fruit. Good, and the range of 0.1 to 2 mass% is more desirable. If the amount of enzyme added is less than 0.01, the function of liquefying pulp or the like may not be exhibited to the maximum, and if it is used in excess of 5% by mass, the production cost will be greatly increased. The enzyme has a function of fermenting in the aquarium to remove a part of the pulp remaining in the parchment, and further accelerates the fermentation reaction in a high-pressure environment. As a result, a large amount of beneficial fermentation components can be produced.

高圧処理を施す際の処理温度は、通常30〜120℃の範囲が好ましく、さらに30〜100℃の範囲がより好ましく、30〜80℃の範囲が望ましい。処理温度が30℃未満の低温では本発明の効果を著しく低減してしまう恐れがある。また処理温度が、120℃を超える場合は加熱〜冷却等に係る時間が長くなる結果、生産コストに大きく影響する結果を招いてしまう恐れがある。
しかしながら、室温以上の高い温度域の処理では、コーヒー豆(種子部)に「煮詰め」の効果を付与することができ、その結果、本発明の高い温度での高圧処理を施す結果、場合によっては生豆の成分分解も併発し、糖質、アミノ酸類が増えるので、コーヒー豆の焙煎後の飲料としてコクや旨味成分の増大が期待される。
The treatment temperature for the high-pressure treatment is usually preferably in the range of 30 to 120°C, more preferably 30 to 100°C, and more preferably 30 to 80°C. If the treatment temperature is lower than 30° C., the effect of the present invention may be significantly reduced. Further, if the processing temperature is higher than 120° C., the time required for heating to cooling and the like becomes long, which may result in a large influence on the production cost.
However, the treatment in a high temperature range of room temperature or higher can impart the effect of "boil down" to the coffee beans (seed portion), and as a result, the high pressure treatment at a high temperature of the present invention results in some cases.

When the pressure dependency on the extraction (recovered amount) was examined, the results shown in FIG. 12 were obtained. For comparison, FIG. 12 compares the amount of components recovered when no pressure is applied. The recovered amount of the components was analyzed by a predetermined method after separating the liquid material after the high pressure treatment and adjusting the pH to 4 to 5 by a predetermined method. As is clear from FIG. 12, it was found that under high pressure of 100 MPa, more chlorogenic acid (Chloro_A.) and caffeic acid (Caffe_A.) could be extracted.

Equivalent amount, and using the same amount of enzyme P and "enzyme E" (protease), except that the total amount of the enzyme used was changed from 0.01 g to 0.2 g, chlorogenic acid and cafe When the processing temperature dependency on the extraction (recovery amount) of in-acid was examined, the results shown in FIG. 13 were obtained. The amount of components collected was performed according to Example 7. As is clear from FIG. 13, it was found that the high-pressure treatment at 75° C. can extract more chlorogenic acid (Chloro_A.) and caffeic acid (Caffe_A.) than at 65° C.
