DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention can be used in an emulsified and dispersed state without using an emulsifier in spite of containing a large amount of fats and oils, and is reduced in greasyness. More specifically, the liquid seasoning having a fresh flavor and its manufacturing method, which has a unique flavor and body derived from raw materials, such as a homemade cooked soup without using a large amount of extracts, and a creamy emulsification The present invention relates to a liquid seasoning suitably used for tonkotsu soup and the like, which has a flavor while being in a state, and a method for producing the same.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In general, rich boiled soups such as tonkotsu soup, bird glass soup, and fondant are used as important broths that determine the taste of various dishes.
For example, tonkotsu soup is made by adding flavored vegetables such as green onions to pork bones (rose meat with pork bones) and water as needed, placing it in a large, vertically long pot called a shaku-nabe, and removing heat at low heat over a day or night. It is produced by adding various seasonings such as salt to an extract obtained by cooking. Tonkotsu soup
Combining the flavor of the extract that is derived from pork bones, which is the main ingredient for cooking, and the richness of the oil film that spreads over the surface of the soup, it is characterized by its unique, crisp and rich flavor, and is gaining popularity. ing.

[0003] In order to industrially mass-produce a thick broth such as the above-mentioned tonkotsu soup, it is common to concentrate the cooked extract and add salt to obtain a liquid seasoning with improved preservability. I have. At the time of cooking, it is used by diluting with hot water or the like as necessary. However, since the extract contains a solid fat, aggregation or separation is likely to occur during storage, and a uniform liquid seasoning cannot be obtained.

[0004] Therefore, for example, a method of adding a specific emulsifier and a stabilizer to animal fat which is solid at room temperature and an aqueous seasoning solution having a high salt concentration and homogenizing under high pressure to obtain a liquid seasoning (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-1997). No. 322735) and a method of obtaining an oil-in-water type emulsified seasoning by homogenizing an aqueous phase mainly composed of soy sauce and an edible oil and fat together with a specific emulsifier and a stabilizer under high pressure (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 63-163).
294758) is known. However,
These methods uniformly reduce the particle size of the oil droplets, so they are stable over time, but have a flat taste with no blurry features, and are rich in flavor and flavor. It simply becomes greasy without feeling. In addition, the flavor and taste are impaired due to the added taste and viscosity derived from the emulsifier and stabilizer. Also, when this liquid seasoning is diluted with hot water and used as a ramen soup,
The surface of the soup becomes uniformly cloudy, and the appearance of a glossy soup peculiar to the rich ramen soup in which fine oil particles are scattered on the surface cannot be obtained. In addition, in any of the above methods, existing extracts and raw materials are simply mixed and homogenized, so that the unique flavor and flavor of the bones and meat tissue when cooked together, such as homemade cooked soup, Not a certain flavor.

[0005]

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and has as its object to reduce the amount of meat extract and fats and oils contained in a large amount. It has a refreshing, fresh flavor with less greasyness and can be used in an emulsified and dispersed state without using an emulsifier. A liquid flavor that is suitable for soups that has a unique flavor, body, and creamy emulsification derived from boiled ingredients, but has a glossy appearance and a glossy appearance. To provide ingredients and a method for producing the same.

[0006]

The above object is achieved by a liquid seasoning characterized by containing a fermented seasoning, a meat extract, and an insoluble solid-containing fat or oil. Further, an object of the present invention is to produce a liquid seasoning containing a fermented seasoning, a meat extract, and an insoluble solid-containing fat and oil.
It is achieved by a process for producing a liquid seasoning, which comprises homogenizing at least a weight percent of a fat or oil containing a particulate insoluble solid with a fermented seasoning and a meat extract.

That is, the present inventors mass-produce a liquid seasoning having a unique flavor and a distinctive flavor derived from a boiled raw material, such as a tonkotsu soup, obtained by homemade cooking in a short time. The method was examined. And instead of conventional edible fats and oils,
When using raw animal fat with a high water content just washed and cut off the fat tissue of the animal as a raw material for oil, the components in the raw animal fat may be cooked to bring out the soup-like flavor and body, and a study was conducted. went. As a result, this raw animal fat,
When homogenized in the coexistence of fermented seasoning and meat extract, the protein in the meat extract acts as an emulsifying component, emulsifying the fat of the raw animal fat, and improving the umami components such as muscle tissue in the raw animal fat. Insoluble solids and fermented seasonings that are moderately dispersed are meat extracts and fats and oils that become an emulsified liquid seasoning that shows a wide range of particle size distributions, and, although emulsified,
It was found that a liquid seasoning having a sharp flavor and a reduced fatiness was obtained. This liquid seasoning was found to be a soup having a unique glossy appearance in which oil droplets were scattered when diluted with hot water or the like, and reached the present invention.

Next, the present invention will be described in detail. The liquid seasoning of the present invention contains a fermented seasoning, a meat extract, and an insoluble solid-containing fat or oil. First, the fermented seasoning used in the present invention is produced by brewing and fermenting soy sauce (soy sauce, fish sauce, etc.), miso, sauces (worcester sauce, tonkatsu sauce, okonomiyaki sauce, etc.), sake, mirin, vinegar, etc. It is a seasoning. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more. In particular, soy sauce, miso, fermented seasonings containing salts such as sauces are suitable in that they enhance the preservability of the liquid seasoning, impart a mellow salty taste to the whole liquid seasoning, and facilitate the expression of the flavor component. is there.

Next, the meat extract used in the present invention is chicken,
It is an extract obtained by processing meat, bones, etc. of livestock meat such as cows and pigs, and includes, for example, a heat-extracted extract, a heat-extracted concentrated extract, an enzyme-treated extract, and an extract obtained by seasoning meat and then grinding. Also, after heating and extracting other meat and bone,
Solid-liquid separation, oil separation, concentration of the liquid part, purification of the separated oil again, and mixing are exemplified. These may be used alone or in combination of several kinds. The meat extract contains about 8 to 30% by weight of protein.

Next, the fats and oils containing insoluble solids used in the present invention are obtained by disassembling the cadaver of animals such as cows, pigs, birds, sheep, fish, etc. ) Is mainly composed of raw animal fat from which foreign substances such as blood and hair are removed by washing or the like. Above all, the fat tissue on the back side of the pig, which is called pig back fat, is not easily dissolved during heat sterilization, and is preferable in that the shape retention when floated on the soup is good. Pork backfat is also preferable in that it has many flavors derived from proteins in adipose tissue and has a distinctive flavor. Originally, the amount of water contained in animal adipose tissue is about 5 to 10% by weight although it varies depending on the site. However, the water of the above-mentioned raw animal fat is used for removing and washing foreign substances such as blood and hair. , Water adheres, usually 1
It is about 2 to 15% by weight. In the present invention,
An insoluble solid-containing fat or oil having a water content of 4% by weight or more may be used. When trehalose is applied to the insoluble solid-containing fats and oils (spraying, washing water, immersion, and heat sterilization), it is more preferable to maintain the flavor. That is, it is suitably used in terms of suppressing the raw odor of raw animal fat, processing steps such as heat sterilization and the like, cooking odor during storage, suppressing deterioration, and clearing the aftertaste of raw animal fat. In addition, when trehalose is applied during heat sterilization, trehalose (preferably mixed with powder) may be housed in a package such as an aluminum pouch together with the raw animal fat, sealed, and heat sterilized. .

In addition, generally known lard (lard), beef tallow (head), etc., are obtained by further treating the above-mentioned raw animal fat by heating and pressurizing, and extracting fats from unpurified animal fat (raw lard). , Raw heads, etc.) are called purified animal fats which are purified by washing or distilling them with saline or the like, which is different from the insoluble solid-containing fats and oils of the present application. This refined animal fat is low in impurities and water and almost 1
Because it is 00% fat, it is difficult to oxidize and is easy to use, but the refining process has lost most of the unique, appetizing and desirable flavor inherent in animal fats.

The insoluble solid-containing fats and oils according to the present invention include:
The above animal fats and oils such as refined animal fats, unrefined animal fats and butters, and processed products thereof, vegetable oils and fats such as sesame oil, salad oil, cocoa butter, and chili oil, and processed oils and fats such as medium-chain triglycerides are used. You may make it use a part. However, these other fats and oils make use of the flavor of the insoluble solids-containing fats and oils to be 50% by weight or less based on the total weight of the insoluble solids-containing fats and oils. It is desirable to maintain.

Next, the weight ratio of the fermented seasoning, the meat extract and the insoluble solid-containing fat and oil is 1 to 3 for the insoluble solid-containing fat and oil, and 1 to 3 for the fermented seasoning and the meat extract. It is preferable to set it to 3. If there are more fermented seasonings than this ratio, the flavor of fats and oils tends to be suppressed,
On the other hand, if the amount is small, the taste tends to be sour and the slimness tends to be weak. On the other hand, if the amount of the meat extract is too large, the taste tends to be disturbed and chipping tends to be lacking.

In the liquid seasoning of the present invention, spices, herbs, vegetables, fruits, seeds, colorings, flavors, salts, sugars, alcohols, chemicals, spices, herbs, vegetables, fruits, etc., in addition to the above-mentioned raw materials, Seasonings, starch, yeast, acidulants, various seasonings such as tomato ketchup and mayonnaise may be added. In particular, vegetable and fruit purees are suitable in terms of stabilizing emulsification. The use of trehalose as the saccharide is more preferable in that, when heat treatment such as sterilization is performed in a subsequent step, deterioration of the flavor and dryness are suppressed, and the flavor and taste are enhanced. The amount of trehalose to be added is preferably 1% by weight or more, more preferably 10% by weight or more based on the total weight of the liquid seasoning from the viewpoint of exhibiting the effect.

Next, the liquid seasoning of the present invention is produced, for example, as follows using the above-mentioned fermented seasoning, meat extract and insoluble solid-containing fats and oils. That is, first, raw animal fat is formed into granules of 1 to 10 mm. The shape of the grain is
The shape may be arbitrarily set such as a dice shape, a column shape, and a spherical shape. Also, the molding method is not particularly limited, and may be performed by shredding means such as a cutter or extruding means such as a mincer or chopper. The raw animal fat may be used as it is, but when not used immediately after molding, heat sterilization at 80 ° C. or higher (preferably heat sealed in a package) in terms of storage stability and the like. You may use what was done. In addition, it is more preferable to add trehalose during the heat sterilization in terms of maintaining the flavor.

Next, if necessary, other fats and oils are added to the molded raw animal fat, and the fermented seasoning, the meat extract, and the auxiliary materials are mixed and homogenized. As a device for homogenization, for example, a device equipped with a high-speed stirring collision mechanism such as a homomixer, a friction stirring device such as a colloid mill,
High-pressure homogenizers such as Menton Gorin and Nanomizer are mentioned. Among these, the high-pressure homogenizer is
It is suitable in that a desired emulsified state is easily obtained.

The conditions for the homogenization may be appropriately set so as to obtain the particle size distribution described later. For example, when a high-pressure homogenizer is used, the treatment may be performed at about 150 kg / cm ² .

The liquid seasoning obtained as described above is
It is desirable that the particle size distribution is in the range of 0.5 to 50 μm. When in this range, the fat and oil is stably dispersed, and at the time of dilution by the fine fat and oil-containing particles and the fat and oil-containing large particles, the soup exhibits a luster and an appearance interspersed with fat grains, and the insoluble solid-containing fat and oil in the fat and oil. Muscle tissue is crushed, imparting umami, mellowness and smooth texture. On the other hand, when the particle size deviates from the particle size distribution, for example, when the main component is particles having a particle size of less than 0.5 μm, the particles become too fine and uniform so that the soup becomes white and dull when diluted. The beam tends to disappear. In addition, when particles mainly having a particle size of more than 50 μm are used, the luster tends to be dull upon dilution, the tongue becomes poor, and the insoluble solid-containing fats and oils are not sufficiently crushed and tend to have no taste.

In the above-mentioned production example, the auxiliary raw materials are also homogenized. In particular, auxiliary raw materials whose flavor and effects are easily impaired by homogenization may be added and mixed after homogenization.

The liquid seasoning produced as described above may be used as it is or frozen, but when it is stored at room temperature for a long time, it is sterilized by heating at 90 ° C. for about 30 minutes.
You only need to seal it.

The liquid seasoning of the present invention may be used as it is in various dishes such as boiled foods, potatoes, curries, etc., or may be diluted in boiling water to form a soup, or used in dressings, grilled meat sauces, sauces and the like. It may be seasoning,
Alternatively, it may be used as a raw material for various seasonings.

[0022]

As described above, the liquid seasoning of the present invention comprises:
Despite containing a large amount of oils and fats, it can be used in an emulsified and dispersed state without using an emulsifier, and has a clean fresh flavor with reduced greasyness. This is a liquid seasoning that has a unique flavor of animal fat derived from raw materials, such as tonkotsu soup, which is obtained by cooking the soybean soup, and has a crisp flavor. The liquid seasoning has a unique glossy appearance in which oil droplets are scattered when diluted with hot water or the like. In addition, it is widely used and can be used as various dishes and seasonings. In addition, since the insoluble solid-containing fats and oils formed into granules are homogenized under the coexistence of the fermented seasoning and the meat extract, the insoluble solid-containing fats and oils are emulsified by the protein in the meat extract and contained in the raw animal fat. Insoluble solids such as muscle tissue are appropriately dispersed, and the fermented seasoning ingredients have a mellow flavor, so that the flavor and body of a homemade cooked soup can be obtained in a short time.

Next, the present invention will be specifically described with reference to examples.
