Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、低粘度で流動性のある水溶液が作成可能で、水分を含む目的物に添加することにより添加前よりも増粘し、又はゲル化が発現するように調整された増粘用添加物に係り、特にタレ、ドレッシング、ソース、ムース、ゼリー等を簡便に増粘させる食品用途や、摂食障害により咀嚼・嚥下困難となった患者の食事等に添加して粘性やゲル化を発現させる用途に適した増粘用添加物に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来より多くの糊料が増粘安定剤として食品等に利用されている。糊料の形態は通常、粉末、板状、糸状等の乾燥物として市販され、水に溶解させるか熱水に溶解させて使用されている。しかし、糊料は、粘度が大きいため、溶解には時間と手間がかかり、糊料によってはダマになったり、加熱が不十分で溶解不良になったりする。逆に、熱分解を起こしてしまう場合もある。従って、一般消費者が糊料を増粘安定剤として食品に使用するのは、必ずしも容易ではない。
【0003】
そこで、本発明者らは、特許文献1において、キサンタンガムなどの糊料にアラビアガム、アラビノガラクタン、プルラン、大豆多糖類などの低粘性多糖類が添加された増粘用添加液を提案している。この増粘用添加液は、流動性を有するが、水分を含む目的物に添加されると粘性又はゲル化が発現するように調整されているので、水分を含む目的物に容易に分散させることができるとともに、簡便に粘性を付与し、あるいはゲル化をさせることができ、一般消費者であっても容易に使用することができる。
【0004】
【特許文献1】
特開平12−41594号公報
【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、特許文献1に記載された増粘用添加液においては、粘度を低くする目的の低粘性多糖類であるアラビアガム、アラビノガラクタン、プルラン、大豆多糖類などは、それぞれ独自の匂いや呈味をもっており、その独自の匂いや呈味が最終製品に影響を与える場合があり、また経時変化により溶液の不均一化が起こりやすいという問題がある。
【0006】
そこで、本発明は、簡便に使用できるとともに、独自の匂いや呈味を持たず、そのためそれらが最終製品に影響を与えることはなく、さらに経時的に安定している増粘用添加物を提供することを目的とする。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
以上の目的を達成するため、本発明は、キサンタンガムにアルギン酸ナトリウム、ペクチン及びCMCナトリウムのうち1以上からなる糊料が添加されたことを特徴とする増粘用添加物である。
【0008】
本発明に係る増粘用添加物は、水に溶解すると、アルギン酸ナトリウム、ペクチン及びCMCナトリウムのうち1以上からなる糊料が、キサンタンガムの増粘、又はゲル化の発現を抑制するので、流動性があり、扱いが容易な溶液を得ることができる。また、これら糊料は、アラビアガム、アラビノガラクタン、プルラン、大豆多糖類などと異なり、独自の匂いや呈味を持たず、そのためそれらが最終製品に影響を与えることはない。
【0009】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明に係る増粘用添加物の形態は、粉末などの固形状であっても、水溶液などの液状であっても良い。例えば、粉末の場合には、キサンタンガムのみを水に分散させて溶解させる場合よりもダマに成り難いという特徴を有する。また、本発明に係る増粘用添加物には、さらにデキストリンなどの腑形剤を混合したり、造粒するなど、容易に水に溶解させて流動性のある液状になるように加工を加えても良い。
【0010】
本発明に係る増粘用添加物において、前記糊料は、平均分子量5000〜1000000のアルギン酸ナトリウム、平均分子量5000〜1000000のペクチン、平均分子量5000〜1200000のCMCナトリウムのうち1以上であることが好ましく、このようにアルギン酸ナトリウム、ペクチン及びCMCナトリウムの平均分子量の調整は、アルギン酸ナトリウム、ペクチン及びCMCナトリウムの酸又は熱などによる加水分解により行うことができる。
【0011】
また、本発明に係る増粘用添加物において、キサンタンガムとアルギン酸ナトリウムの割合は、1:0.2〜10、キサンタンガムと平均分子量5000〜1000000のアルギン酸ナトリウムの割合は、1:0.1〜20、キサンタンガムとペクチンの割合は、1:0.2〜10、キサンタンガムと平均分子量5000〜1000000のペクチンの割合は、1:0.1〜20、キサンタンガムとCMCナトリウムの割合は、1:0.2〜10、キサンタンガムと平均分子量5000〜1200000のCMCナトリウムの割合は、1:0.1〜20であることが好ましい。
【0012】
さらに、本発明に係る増粘用添加物は、前記キサンタンガムと前記糊料が溶解され液状に形成され、その際の粘度がキサンタンガムのみの場合より低くなるように調整されていることが好ましく、このように粘度をキサンタンガムのみの場合より低くなるように調整することにより、流動性が増すので、容易に目的物に分散させることができるなど、増粘用添加物の扱いが容易になり、一般消費者であっても簡便に使用することができる。
【0013】
またさらに、本発明に係る増粘用添加物は、水分を含む目的物に添加することにより添加前よりも増粘し、又はゲル化が発現するように調整されていることが好ましく、このように増粘又はゲル化の発現を抑制することにより、所望の粘度やゲル状物を短時間に容易に得ることができる。
【0014】
水に溶解して増粘又はゲル化が抑制されている場合において、キサンタンガムとアルギン酸ナトリウムの組合せのこれらの水溶液中の含有量は、1〜30%、好ましくは2〜15%、キサンタンガムと平均分子量5000〜1000000のアルギン酸ナトリウムの組合せのこれらの水溶液中の含有量は、1〜40%、好ましくは2〜20%、キサンタンガムとペクチンの組合せのこれらの水溶液中の含有量は、1〜30%、好ましくは2〜15%、キサンタンガムと平均分子量5000〜1000000のペクチンの組合せのこれらの水溶液中の含有量は、1〜40%、好ましくは2〜20%、キサンタンガムとCMCナトリウムの組合せのこれらの水溶液中の含有量は、1〜30%、好ましくは2〜15%、キサンタンガムと平均分子量5000〜1200000のCMCナトリウムの組合せのこれらの水溶液中の含有量は、1〜40%、好ましくは2〜20%であることが好ましい。
【0015】
このような増粘用添加物の用途として、例えば食品でとろみを必要とする調味液の素(八宝菜や麻婆豆腐など)などに用いることがある。このような調味液は、混合や個食容器への充填などにおいては粘性が少なく流動性を有することが好ましいが、反対に料理の際には、野菜等からでる水分で薄まって粘性が発現することが好ましいので、本発明のような増粘用添加物が有効である。また、このような増粘用添加物の用途としては、摂食障害により咀嚼・嚥下が困難となった患者に適する粘性を持つ食品のための粘性を付ける素に利用したリ、食品以外にも化粧品や医薬品としての用途や日用雑貨、工業用途としても幅広い用途で利用することがある。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is capable of preparing an aqueous solution having a low viscosity and fluidity, increasing the viscosity by adding to a target substance containing moisture, compared to before addition, or adding a thickening agent adjusted so as to develop gelation. Expresses viscosity and gelation when added to foods, especially for foods that easily thicken sauces, dressings, sauces, mousses, jellies, etc., and foods for patients who have difficulty eating or swallowing due to eating disorders The present invention relates to a thickening additive suitable for a use to be applied.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, more pastes have been used in foods and the like as thickening stabilizers. The size of the paste is generally commercially available as a dried product such as a powder, a plate, or a thread, and is used after being dissolved in water or dissolved in hot water. However, since the paste has a large viscosity, it takes time and effort to dissolve, and depending on the paste, the paste may be limp or may be insufficiently heated to cause poor dissolution. Conversely, thermal decomposition may occur. Therefore, it is not always easy for a general consumer to use a paste as a thickening stabilizer in foods.
[0003]
Therefore, the present inventors have proposed in Patent Document 1 a thickening additive liquid in which a low-viscosity polysaccharide such as gum arabic, arabinogalactan, pullulan, and soybean polysaccharide is added to a paste such as xanthan gum. I have. Although this thickening additive liquid has fluidity, it is adjusted so as to exhibit viscosity or gelation when added to a water-containing target substance, so that it can be easily dispersed in a water-containing target substance. In addition to the above, it is possible to easily impart viscosity or gelate, so that even ordinary consumers can easily use.
[0004]
[Patent Document 1]
JP-A-12-41594 [0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the thickening additive liquid described in Patent Literature 1, gum arabic, arabinogalactan, pullulan, and soybean polysaccharide, which are low-viscosity polysaccharides for lowering the viscosity, each have their own odor or presentation. It has a taste, and its unique odor and taste may affect the final product, and there is a problem that the solution is likely to be uneven due to the aging.
[0006]
Therefore, the present invention provides a thickening additive which can be used easily, does not have a unique odor or taste, and therefore does not affect the final product, and is stable over time. The purpose is to do.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is an additive for thickening, characterized in that a paste comprising at least one of sodium alginate, pectin and sodium CMC is added to xanthan gum.
[0008]
When the additive for thickening according to the present invention is dissolved in water, the paste consisting of one or more of sodium alginate, pectin and sodium CMC suppresses the thickening of xanthan gum or the development of gelation. And a solution that is easy to handle can be obtained. Also, these pastes, unlike gum arabic, arabinogalactan, pullulan, soy polysaccharides, etc., do not have their own odor or taste, and therefore do not affect the final product.
[0009]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
The form of the thickening additive according to the present invention may be a solid such as a powder or a liquid such as an aqueous solution. For example, in the case of powder, it has the characteristic that it is less likely to be lump than in the case where only xanthan gum is dispersed in water and dissolved. In addition, the excipient for thickening according to the present invention is further processed by mixing with excipients such as dextrin, or granulating, so that the excipient is easily dissolved in water to form a fluid liquid. May be.
[0010]
In the additive for thickening according to the present invention, the paste is preferably at least one of sodium alginate having an average molecular weight of 5,000 to 1,000,000, pectin having an average molecular weight of 5,000 to 1,000,000, and sodium CMC having an average molecular weight of 5,000 to 1200,000. Thus, the adjustment of the average molecular weight of sodium alginate, pectin and sodium CMC can be carried out by hydrolysis of sodium alginate, pectin and sodium CMC with an acid or heat.
[0011]
In the thickening additive according to the present invention, the ratio of xanthan gum to sodium alginate is 1: 0.2 to 10, and the ratio of xanthan gum to sodium alginate having an average molecular weight of 5000 to 1,000,000 is 1: 0.1 to 20. The ratio of xanthan gum to pectin is 1: 0.2 to 10, the ratio of xanthan gum to pectin having an average molecular weight of 5000 to 1,000,000 is 1: 0.1 to 20, and the ratio of xanthan gum to sodium CMC is 1: 0.2. The ratio of xanthan gum to sodium CMC having an average molecular weight of 5000 to 1200000 is preferably 1: 0.1 to 20.
[0012]
Further, the additive for thickening according to the present invention is preferably formed such that the xanthan gum and the paste are dissolved to form a liquid, and the viscosity at that time is adjusted to be lower than that of the case of xanthan gum alone. By adjusting the viscosity to be lower than that of the case of xanthan gum alone, the fluidity is increased, so that the additives for thickening can be easily handled, for example, it can be easily dispersed in the target product, and general consumption can be achieved. It can be easily used even by a person.
[0013]
Furthermore, the thickening additive according to the present invention is preferably thickened by adding it to a target substance containing moisture, or is adjusted so that gelation is exhibited. By suppressing the occurrence of thickening or gelling, a desired viscosity or gel can be easily obtained in a short time.
[0014]
When the thickening or gelation is suppressed by dissolving in water, the content of the combination of xanthan gum and sodium alginate in these aqueous solutions is 1 to 30%, preferably 2 to 15%, and xanthan gum and average molecular weight The content of 5,000-1,000,000 sodium alginate combinations in these aqueous solutions is 1-40%, preferably 2-20%, the content of xanthan gum and pectin combinations in these aqueous solutions is 1-30%, Preferably, the content of the combination of xanthan gum and pectin having an average molecular weight of 5,000 to 1,000,000 in these aqueous solutions is 2 to 15%, and the content of these aqueous solutions of the combination of xanthan gum and sodium CMC is 1 to 40%, preferably 2 to 20%. The content is 1 to 30%, preferably 2 to 15%, xanthan gum and average molecular weight Content in these aqueous solutions of the combination of CMC sodium 000-1200000 is 1 to 40%, and preferably is preferably 2-20%.
[0015]
As an application of such a thickening additive, for example, there is a case where it is used for a seasoning liquid source (hakkona, mapo tofu, etc.) that requires thickening in food. Such a seasoning liquid preferably has low viscosity and fluidity when mixed or filled into individual food containers, but on the other hand, during cooking, the liquid is diluted with water coming from vegetables and the like to develop viscosity. Therefore, the thickening additive as in the present invention is effective. In addition, as an application of such a thickening additive, it is used as a viscosity-increasing material for foods having a viscosity suitable for patients who have difficulty chewing and swallowing due to eating disorders, and in addition to foods. It may be used in a wide range of applications such as cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, daily goods, and industrial use.
