Description

接着肉の製造方法Manufacturing method of adhesive meat
 本発明は、接着肉の製造方法に関し、より詳細には、肉同士が十分に接着され、かつ軟化された接着肉の製造方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a method for producing an adhesive meat, and more particularly, to a method for producing an adhesive meat in which meats are sufficiently bonded and softened.
 従来より、複数の肉片が接着されて製造される接着肉(成型肉又は成形肉等とも称される)が、食品素材として種々の食品の製造に利用されている。接着肉は、食品の製造時や喫食時に分離することがないよう、肉同士が十分に接着されていることが求められるが、近年、消費者の嗜好の高級化等により、接着肉に対して要求される品質も高まってきており、例えば、軟らかい好ましい食感を有すること等も求められるようになっている。 Conventionally, adhesive meat produced by bonding a plurality of pieces of meat (also referred to as molded meat or molded meat) has been used as a food material for the production of various foods. Adhesive meat is required to be sufficiently adhered to each other so that it does not separate at the time of food production or at the time of eating. The required quality is also increasing, and for example, it is required to have a soft and favorable texture.
 食肉加工食品の軟化方法に関し、従来より種々の検討がなされており、例えば、タンパク質分解酵素で食品を処理する際に、架橋作用を有する酵素を同時に作用させて、食品を分解しつつ再架橋することにより、食品を軟らかくするとともに、食品の保形性及び保水性を維持できることが報告されている(特許文献1)。また、テンダライズによる物理的損傷と、減圧処理やタンブリング等の酵素浸漬技術とを併用して酵素反応を行うことにより、表面の過度の軟化や見割れなどによる形状崩壊を抑制し、見た目もおいしく、軟らかい軟化魚肉又は畜肉製品を提供できることが報告されている(特許文献2)。また、1種以上のプロテアーゼ及びトランスグルタミナーゼを含有する肉質改良剤によって、鳥獣肉の中で硬くてスジの多い品質部位の肉質を改良し、付加価値を向上できることが報告されている(特許文献3)。しかし、特許文献1~3には接着肉は記載されておらず、接着肉に特有の課題である肉同士が十分に接着されていること等の検討はなされていない。 Various studies have been made on softening methods for processed meat foods. For example, when a food is treated with a proteolytic enzyme, an enzyme having a crosslinking action is simultaneously applied to recrosslink the food while decomposing it. Thus, it has been reported that the food can be softened and the shape retention and water retention of the food can be maintained (Patent Document 1). In addition, by carrying out an enzyme reaction using physical damage due to tenderization and enzyme immersion technology such as decompression treatment and tumbling, the shape collapse due to excessive softening or cracking of the surface is suppressed, and the appearance is also delicious. It has been reported that a soft softened fish meat or livestock product can be provided (Patent Document 2). In addition, it has been reported that a meat quality improving agent containing one or more proteases and transglutaminase can improve the quality of hard and streaky quality parts in chicken and animal meat and increase the added value (Patent Document 3). ). However, Patent Documents 1 to 3 do not describe adhesive meat, and no examination has been made on the fact that meat, which is a problem specific to adhesive meat, is sufficiently adhered to each other.
