Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain the subject food with flour smell masked without deteriorating its taste or unpleasant feeling to consumers by including a specific masking agent. SOLUTION: This food is characterized by masked smell of flour and contains sucralose. It can be obtained by processing at least one type of grain flour selected from those of wheat, soybean, buckwheat, rye and corn. It can be an agent, with sucralose as the effective ingredient, for masking smell of flour. Sucralose has a structure with 3 hydroxyl groups at the 1- and 6-sites of the fructose residue and 4-site of the glucose residue in the sucrose molecule substituted with chlorine, and is a high-quality sweetener approximately 600 times as sweet as sucrose (GBP No.1543167).

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

[0001] The present invention relates to a food product in which powdery odor is significantly masked. The present invention further relates to a new use of sucralose as a masking agent for powdery odor.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Cereals, such as rice, soybeans, corn, etc., are heated and processed as they are for edible use, and cereals such as flour are exclusively ground into powder and processed into bread and noodles. Some are served for food. The former is also used in the form of powder and processed into various foods.

[0003] However, foods prepared from such powders may be accompanied by powdery odor, which is a cause of deteriorating the taste of the foods.

[0004] For this reason, various methods for masking powdery odor have been conventionally studied.

[0005] However, it is not known that such a powdery odor masking effect can be obtained by containing sucralose.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a food with a masked powdery odor. Also,
Another object of the present invention is to provide a new use of sucralose which is a high-intensity sweetener.

[0007]

Means for Solving the Problems The present inventors have made intensive studies to solve the above-mentioned problems, and surprisingly found that sucralose, a kind of sweetener, was unexpectedly added to food prepared from powder. Found that the prepared food had a significant masking of the powdery odor. The present invention has been completed based on such unexpected findings.

[0008] That is, the present invention is a food product which is characterized by containing sucralose and which is masked with a powdery smell. Further, the present invention is a powdery odor masking agent containing sucralose as an active ingredient.

[0009]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION In the present invention, sucralose has a structure in which three hydroxyl groups at positions 1 and 6 of a fructose residue and a position 4 of a glucose residue in a sucrose molecule are substituted with chlorine molecules. It is a high-intensity sweetener exhibiting about 600 times higher quality sweetness than sucrose (UK Patent No. 154316).
No. 7).

The food targeted by the present invention may be a powdered food or a processed food prepared using the powdered food as a raw material, and includes all foods regardless of the material of the powder.
Examples of flour materials include wheat, rye, barley and other wheat, buckwheat, corn, soy and other beans, rice, and the like, but are not limited thereto.

[0011] More specifically, flour and okonomiyaki, octopus grilled, cakes, cookies and baked and steamed products such as bread and nan prepared from wheat flour, noodle products such as udon, Chinese noodles and pasta; buckwheat flour and buckwheat Buckwheat products such as buckwheat and buckwheat confectionery prepared from flour; corn flour (corn flour) and baked corn starch or corn flakes prepared from corn flour
Steamed products; soybean-based yellow flour or powdered soymilk and breads, confectionery and beverages prepared using the same as raw materials; rye flour and baked and steamed products such as bread prepared using the same as raw materials; rice flour (top Powdered foods obtained by grinding cereals such as baked and steamed products such as Japanese confectionery, etc., prepared using the same as raw materials, such as new flour, shiratama flour, and Kanbai flour, and food processed products processed and cooked using the raw materials. Can be mentioned. In addition, beverages such as powdered beverages; soups such as powdered miso soup and powdered soup; fats and oils such as powdered butter and powdered shortening; and seasonings such as powdered miso, powdered soy sauce, powdered mustard, and powdered wasabi. Can also.

[0012] In order to obtain the food with masked powdery odor according to the present invention, it is sufficient that the final product contains sucralose, and the timing and order of blending sucralose are not limited. The method of blending sucralose is not particularly limited, and solid sucralose such as powder or granules may be blended, or sucralose in a solution state may be blended.

The mixing ratio of sucralose to food for obtaining the effects of the present invention differs depending on the type of food and the like, and cannot be specified unconditionally.
0000-0.5% by weight, preferably 0.0001-0.5%
It can be appropriately selected and used from the range of 0.1% by weight. Note that the sweetness of sucralose itself is clearly felt in a composition of about 0.0006% by weight or more. Therefore, when the sweetness is to be expressed also as a sweetener, the sweetness is used at a concentration higher than that, and when the sweetness is to be reduced. May be used at a concentration lower than that concentration, and such an amount can be arbitrarily adjusted by those skilled in the art by exerting ordinary ability.

According to the present invention, the powdery smell peculiar to the food obtained from the powdered food as a raw material by blending sucralose can be significantly masked, whereby the food can be consumed without deteriorating its taste and consumption. It is possible to prepare a food which does not give a discomfort such as powdery smell to a person.

Further, the present invention is a powdery odor masking agent comprising sucralose, which is a high-intensity sweetener, as an active ingredient.
The masking agent only needs to contain at least sucralose, but may contain other food additives such as preservatives and stabilizers as long as the effects of the present invention are not impaired.

The masking agent against powdery odor according to the present invention may be in any form of solid or solution such as powder or granules, and may be used in any form of the above-mentioned various food preparations. It is used by adding and blending. By the incorporation of such a masking agent, it becomes possible to significantly mask the powdery odor that can be caused by production and storage,
As a result, the applicable range and the type of food can be further expanded.

The timing of blending the masking agent is not particularly limited. The mixing ratio of the masking agent to the food is appropriately selected based on the above-described mixing ratio of sucralose in the food of the present invention.

[0018]

The present invention will be described below in more detail with reference to the following Examples, but it should not be construed that the invention is limited thereto. In the present invention, “parts” means “parts by weight” unless otherwise specified. Example 1 500 parts of bean bun skin flour, 6 parts of salt, baking powder 2.5
, 1 part of xanthan gum, 60 parts of trehalose, and 7.5 parts of dry yeast. There is slightly hot water (35-4
(0 ° C.) 200 parts and sucralose 0.073 parts were added and stirred. After the flour absorbed the water, 15 parts of lard was added, kneaded, and allowed to lie for 10 minutes. After dividing this little by little, wrap the bean paste and put it in a stove (40 ° C, humidity 50%).
Fermentation was carried out for ５０50 minutes, and steamed at 100 ° C. for 20 minutes to obtain a bean paste with masked powdery smell.
