Description

Flavor improving agent

Technical field

The present invention relates to can not change the flavor matter of diet article, basic local flavor and flavor balance, the local flavor that the interpolation through minute quantity can present seasoning, shelters, saline taste is strengthened improves the flavor improving agent of effect.

Background technology

Basic local flavor such as saline taste, bitter taste, pungent, sweet taste, tart flavour, purport flavor, astringent taste all has preferred balance in every kind of diet article.

And; All the time; Relevant this local flavor; Have following tendency: from the relation of the time and intensity mouth, the moment that contains in the inlet can feel that the situation of strong local flavor is unfavorable as barbed sharp local flavor, contain in the inlet situation that back flavor balance a little while spreads well be considered to have dense local flavor, taste along sliding, flavor matter is pure and mild etc. and welcome.

But, reduce barbed sharp local flavor, and change into along sliding, pure and mild dense local flavor, be very difficult under the condition that does not change basic local flavor.

Therefore, developing variously always, its barbed sharp local flavor is being become along sliding and dense local flavor, and become the flavor improving agent of the local flavor of Total tune, promptly so-called flavor enhancement through only adding the composition of minute quantity.

For example; The flavor enhancement (for example with reference to patent documentation 1) of bittern, the flavor enhancement (for example with reference to patent documentation 2) of use pyroglutamate etc. have been proposed to use; But the flavor enhancement of patent documentation 1 has the extremely strong problem of bitter taste, and the flavor enhancement of patent documentation 2 has the problem that only the diet article of particular flavor is had effect.

In addition, because a variety of causes, above-mentioned flavor balance is broken sometimes.

For example, in the food processing operations such as heat sterilization when the diet article are made or anticorrisive agent interpolation, or between the storage life of these diet article, tend to produce the ruined local flavors of flavor balance such as bitter taste, astringent taste or peppery throat flavor, promptly produce assorted flavor.

At this moment, can remove the processing of these assorted flavors, for example distillation or elution etc., but owing to will remove micro constitutent, therefore this operation is very complicated in addition, have even the danger of the basic local flavor of the article that cut down one's diet.

In addition, only be that particular flavor is extremely strong sometimes in the diet article, the preferred basic flavor balance of these diet article is destroyed.

At this moment, can not mix food composition or remove processing, but can cut down other local flavor, and then destroy the flavor balance of diet article with this particular flavor.

Thereby, various motions below having carried out, promptly for the diet article with assorted flavor, the balance of basic local flavor that can heavy damage diet article can not can be felt above-mentioned assorted flavor; For the extremely strong diet article of particular flavor only, only add the composition of minute quantity, can weaken the flavor improving agent of this strong excessively particular flavor, promptly so-called screening agent.

For example; The non-toxic salt (for example with reference to patent documentation 6) of polyglycereol condensation ricinoleate (for example with reference to patent documentation 3), stevia extract (for example with reference to patent documentation 4), dry oppossum shrimp class and/or krill class extract (for example with reference to patent documentation 5), gluconic acid etc. has been proposed; But the screening agent of patent documentation 3 is owing to be emulsifying agent; Therefore can impact rerum natura mostly, in addition, have the problem of its local flavor difference itself; The screening agent of patent documentation 4 only has the diet article with bitter taste, astringent taste effective, in addition because very strong sweet taste is arranged, so the problem that limits to some extent of addition; The screening agent of patent documentation 5 only has bitter taste is had effect, and needs the problem of more addition; The screening agent of patent documentation 6 has the problem that needs more addition.

Yet in the above-mentioned basic local flavor, saline taste is not to be simple hobby, and orectic effect is therefore very important as the drink flavours in food products owing to also have the delicious food of drawing the diet article.

In order to give diet article saline taste; Usually use salt, be sodium chloride; But the excess ingestion as the sodium of its main composition composition is to cause with hypertension to be the risk factor of the multiple health disease of representative; Therefore recommend to suppress the intake of sodium chloride, thereby develop and reduce the various of sodium chloride content and subtract salt diet article, and carried out commercially available.But, only reduce the sodium chloride addition, can become the flat taste that has reduced as the saline taste of one of basic flavor matter certainly, diminish delicious food.

Therefore, a large amount of relevant methods that under the situation of keeping diet article saline taste, reduce sodium chloride content have been studied.

If with this method rough classification, then can be divided into the method for using sodium chloride substitute and the flavor improving agent that uses the reinforcement saline taste, promptly use the method for salty taste enhancer.

So-called sodium chloride substitute is meant that with potassium chloride or organic acid alkali metal salt be the material that having of representative approached the saline taste of sodium chloride, and the part through used sodium chloride in the displacement diet article or whole can reduce sodium chloride content.

But, with potassium chloride be the saline taste of sodium chloride substitute of representative than sodium chloride a little less than, and except that saline taste, also have astringent taste and bitter taste, therefore if increase the replacement amount of sodium chloride, have then not only that the saline taste of gained diet article dies down, and the problem that also changes of the matter of distinguishing the flavor of.

Yet, because the wish healthy, that advocate natural materials of consumer's pursuit recently strengthens, be subtracting in the salt diet article of healthy food at script, for using raw material, be compared to synthetic, require to use natural food composition more.

Therefore, the wholefood that for above-mentioned sodium chloride substitute, proposed also morely to use that saline taste itself further weakens, for example bittern or whey mineral etc. contains alkali metal salt becomes to assign to substitute the potassium chloride or the organic acid alkali metal salt of single component.

Particularly, therefore utilize method to carry out various researchs for it because whey mineral has the characteristic of its stable saline taste and low sodium content.

For example, proposed direct use whey mineral as the method (for example with reference to patent documentation 7) of sodium chloride substitute, and with the sodium chloride substitute (for example with reference to patent documentation 8,9) of whey mineral and potassium chloride, and with the sodium chloride substitute (for example with reference to patent documentation 10) of whey mineral and potassium chloride and acids, also with the sodium chloride substitute (for example with reference to patent documentation 11) of whey mineral and alkali metal salt, used the whey mineral that contains whey protein sodium chloride substitute (for example with reference to patent documentation 12), used the sodium chloride substitute (for example with reference to patent documentation 13) of the whey mineral that makes serum pass through the nanofiltration membrane acquisition etc.

But owing to whey mineral is the mixture of various salts, therefore as stated, saline taste is just quite few originally, and gained diet article have the problem that saline taste is weak, diminish delicious food.In addition because whey mineral also has some bitter tastes, therefore if increase the replacement amount of sodium chloride, the saline taste that then has gained diet article more a little less than, and the problem that also changes of the matter of distinguishing the flavor of.

Particularly, and with the sodium chloride substitute of the patent documentation 8,9,10,11 of potassium chloride that originally has astringent taste or bitter taste and alkali metal salt also has the problem of its bitter taste or astringent taste enhancing.

In addition, the sodium chloride substitute of patent documentation 12 or patent documentation 13 has been attempted reducing the bitter taste that whey mineral had, but its effect and insufficient if increase the sodium chloride replacement amount, then has the problem of feeling bitter taste.

Like this, in the method for using sodium chloride substitute, can not under the state of the flavor matter of keeping the diet article and saline taste, reduce sodium chloride content.

On the other hand; So-called salty taste enhancer is meant and itself does not show saline taste or extremely light saline taste is arranged; But show and to feel the flavor improving agent of this effect of saline taste of sodium chloride strongly through in sodium chloride, very little adding; Even if the diet article of less sodium chloride content also can make it have the diet article identical saline taste higher with sodium chloride content.

According to this method; Owing to can under the situation that does not have bigger flavor qualitative changeization, reduce the sodium chloride content of diet article, therefore propose capsicim (for example with reference to patent documentation 14), trehalose (for example with reference to patent documentation 15), the hydrolysate (for example with reference to patent documentation 16) of protein, specific surfactant multiple materials such as (for example with reference to patent documentations 17).

But; These salty taste enhancers since the reinforced effects of its saline taste extremely a little less than; Therefore when seeking higher saline taste reinforced effects; Be necessary that volume is used these salty taste enhancers in the low diet article of sodium chloride content; At this moment, because these salty taste enhancers are the materials with the local flavor beyond the extremely strong saline taste, therefore for example the method for patent documentation 14 has the method for feeling pungent, patent documentation 15 strongly and has the method for feeling sweet taste, patent documentation 16 and have the method for feeling bitter taste, patent documentation 17 and have the problem that the flavor matter of feeling diet article such as stink changes.

Like this; Up to the present can't obtain under the situation of the flavor matter that does not change the diet article; Even if the use of minute quantity also can obtain the salty taste enhancer of abundant effect, but also there is not acquisition under the situation of the flavor matter of keeping the diet article and saline taste, to reduce the method for sodium chloride content.
