Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、湯通しわかめを塩蔵することなく直接急速冷凍することにより長期にわたって冷凍保存が可能で、解凍したときに優れた色調を保持し、茎(中茎)つきのままで優れた食感を保持する冷凍わかめの製造方法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来からわかめは大量に消費されているが、北半球においてはわかめの採取時期が1月から4月に限定されているために、年間を通じて食膳に供するためには何らかの保存法が必要である。そのために古くより、乾燥、湯通し塩蔵等の保存法がよく知られている(例えば特許文献1参照)。しかし乾燥わかめの風味は生鮮なものに比し甚だ劣っている。また乾燥わかめの茎部は水戻しに1時間以上の時間を必要とする。湯通し塩蔵わかめは喫食に際し脱塩水戻しの前処理を必要とする手間を要する。塩蔵わかめの茎部分の脱塩は流水で20分以上必要とするが、葉部分は10分以上脱塩すると軟化し喫食に耐えられない。わかめの葉と茎の脱塩は同時に行えないためその多くはわかめの茎を取り除き、葉のみを分別して流通させているのが一般的である。また塩蔵保存は保存期間中のわかめ細胞の破壊が進行して水戻しした場合生鮮わかめの歯ごたえの復元はできないという欠点を有している。採取されたわかめを湯通しせずに直接冷凍する方法(例えば特許文献2参照)、塩蔵わかめを脱塩後酸性溶液に浸漬して冷凍する方法(例えば特許文献3参照)等が提案されているが、色調がよく、茎、葉ともに好ましい歯ごたえを満たすものはなかった。

【発明が解決しょうとする課題】
本発明は、従来は茎と葉を別々にしていたわかめを、茎つきのままで、湯通しわかめ本来の色調、歯ごたえ、風味を有するわかめを提供することを目的とする。
【0005】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者らは、上記課題を解決するために鋭意研究を重ねた結果、採取されたわかめをアルカリ地下海水溶液で湯通しして、地下海水で冷却、洗浄後、茎つきのまま急速冷凍をかけることで1年間保存しても喫食時に色調がよく、歯ごたえ、風味のある冷凍わかめの製造法を完成させた。
【0006】
即ち、本発明は以下の構成を有する。
1.わかめを湯通し冷凍させる工程において、pHが7〜9のアルカリ性でかつ70℃以上の海水にて、40秒〜300秒間湯通し処理を行い、海水にて冷却、洗浄後、急速冷凍にて凍結させることを特徴とする冷凍わかめの製造方法。

【0007】
【発明の実施の形態】
わかめは分類学的にはコンブ科アイヌワカメ亜科ワカメ属に属し、その種類にはわかめ(Undaria pinatifida)、ヒロメ(U.undarioides)、アオワカメ(U.peterseniana)等があるが、味わいの点から、本発明においてはわかめが好ましく用いられる。
本発明で用いられる原料わかめは、海から採捕あるいは養殖場等で生産されたわかめであれば、国産品、輸入品の別を問わない。国産品としては、例えば鳴門や三陸海岸で採取される鳴門わかめや三陸産わかめ等が挙げられ、輸入品としては、主に韓国産や中国産のわかめが挙げられる。
【0008】
本発明における湯通し急速冷凍わかめの製法は、アルカリ海水溶液で湯通しする第1工程と塩蔵せずにそのまま急速冷凍にかける第2工程とからなる。
第1工程としては、まず採取されたわかめの下方茎(根に近い部分、元茎ともいう、図1参照)とメカブ(芽株)部と葉部の不良部分を取り除き、約70℃以上好ましくは約80℃以上、必要ならばアルカリ剤で調整したpHが約7〜9のアルカリ地下海水溶液に、わかめを投入して一般に約40秒〜300秒、好ましくは約90秒〜180秒間湯通しすることにより行われる。
わかめの湯通しは、酵素を失活させ変敗の進行を防止することと、わかめの緑色成分であるクロロフィルを固定化させることを目的としてなされている。通常のわかめの湯通しは30秒〜60秒間であり90秒以上の長時間湯通しされる製法はいまだ知られていない。
【0009】
湯通しを行った後、速やかに地下海水で冷却、洗浄、水切りを行うのが好ましい。冷却は例えば湯通ししたわかめを地下海水に投入して短時間に用水の温度まで冷やし、さら地下海水で異物等の洗浄することにより行われるのが好ましい。水切りは例えば冷却、洗浄したわかめに軽圧を加えることにより行われるのが好ましい。
【0010】
海水は海中から直接採取してもよいが、海岸近くの地下又は海底(例えば大陸棚)の地下から採取された地下海水が一般に生菌数が少なく好ましく用いられる。地下から海水を採取する場合、海岸または岸壁より数十メートル離れた場所の井戸よりくみ上げた海水が好ましい。なお、一般的な海水のpHは、8.2±0.3であり、地下海水のpHは、7.6±0.3である。
また、水道水に必要な塩類成分を添加して地下海水と同様の組成としたものも使用することができる。
【0011】
所望により海水をアルカリ剤でpH調整してpH値を約7〜9、好ましくは約pH8とする。アルカリ剤としては、有機酸塩、好ましくは有機酸のアルカリ金属塩又はアルカリ土類金属塩、例えばクエン酸ナトリウム、酒石酸ナトリウム、リンゴ酸ナトリウム、酢酸ナトリウム、乳酸ナトリウム、コハク酸ナトリウムなどが、、リン酸塩、好ましくはリン酸のアルカリ金属塩又はアルカリ土類金属塩、例えば、ポリリン酸ナトリウム、ピロリン酸ナトリウム、リン酸2ナトリウム、リン酸3ナトリウム、ポリリン酸カリウム、ピロリン酸カリウム、リン酸2カリウム、リン酸3カリウムなどが、炭酸塩、好ましくは炭酸のアルカリ金属塩又はアルカリ土類金属塩、例えば、炭酸ナトリウム、炭酸水素ナトリウム、炭酸カリウム、炭酸カルシウム、炭酸マグネシウムなどが、水酸化塩、好ましくはアルカリ金属又はアルカリ土類金属の水酸化物、例えば、水酸化ナトリウム、水酸化カリウムなどが、あるいはpHを約7〜9のアルカリ側に保つことのできるpH緩衝剤が、単独でまたは混合して用いることができる。上記アルカリ金属塩としてはナトリウム塩、カリウム塩等が、アルカリ土類金属塩としては、マグネシウム塩等が挙げられる。これらの塩の中でも特に炭酸ナトリウム、炭酸マグネシウム、炭酸水素ナトリウム、リン酸水素二ナトリウム等が好ましく用いられる。これらのアルカリ剤は、その種類、目的とするpHによってその使用量は変わり得るが、炭酸水素ナトリウムを使用してpHが約8の海水を得るためには、海水100Lに対して、一般に約0.1〜1Kg、好ましくは約0.2〜0.5Kg使用するのがよい。また、これらのアルカリ剤は、結晶、水和物、無水物のいずれの形態のものも使用することができる。
なお、湯通しをする際、アルカリ剤を添加することなく同じ湯で何回か湯通しをすると湯のpH値が酸性側に傾き、わかめの色調に悪影響を与える。従って、海水による湯通しを実施するには、所望のpH値(約pH7〜9、好ましくは約pH8)を保つように適宜アルカリ剤を添加して調節するのが好ましい。
【0012】
本発明の第2工程である急速冷凍は、短時間でわかめの品温が約−15℃以下にできればよく特に限定されるものではないが、例えば上記水切りされた湯通しわかめをトレーに入れ、例えばトンネルフリーザーで冷凍加工される手法が用いられうる。
【0013】
冷凍は約−40℃以下の冷風を直接トレーに吹き付け、凍結速度が約50℃/h以上、好ましくは約75℃/h以上で急速冷凍させることでわかめの品温を短時間で約−15℃以下に到達させることが好ましい。一般に急速冷凍は、凍結速度が約50℃/hの場合には、約20分〜60分、凍結速度が約75℃/hの場合には、約10分〜40分で達成される。
食品の凍結時、食品中の水分は氷点以下に下がると氷結晶ができ凍結が開始される。結晶の大きさと冷却速度との間には負の関係にある。即ち、冷却速度が緩慢の場合は氷結晶が大きくなり食品の細胞破壊が進み、解凍した場合生鮮わかめの歯ごたえの復元ができないことより急速冷凍させることが好ましい。
短時間で急速冷凍された湯通し茎つきわかめはプラスチックの袋に入れて約−20℃で長期間、冷凍保管することができる。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
According to the present invention, blanched seaweed can be frozen and stored for a long period of time by directly freezing it without salting, and it retains excellent color tone when thawed, and retains excellent texture while keeping the stem (middle stem). The present invention relates to a method for producing frozen seaweed.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, wakame has been consumed in large quantities, but in the Northern Hemisphere, since the time of collection of wakame is limited to January to April, some kind of preservation method is required for serving meals throughout the year. For this reason, storage methods such as drying and desalination have been well known for a long time (for example, see Patent Document 1). However, the flavor of dried seaweed is very inferior to fresh one. The stem of the dried seaweed requires one hour or more to rehydrate. Blanched salted wakame requires time and labor which requires pretreatment of returning demineralized water when eating. Desalting of the stem portion of the salted seaweed requires 20 minutes or more with running water, but if the leaf portion is desalinated for 10 minutes or more, it softens and cannot withstand eating. Since desalination of wakame leaves and stems cannot be performed at the same time, it is common to remove wakame stems and distribute only leaves separately. In addition, salt storage has the disadvantage that the texture of fresh seaweed cannot be restored if the seaweed cells are destroyed during storage and the water is rehydrated. A method of directly freezing the collected wakame without blanching (for example, see Patent Document 2), a method of desalting the salted wakame and then immersing it in an acidic solution and freezing (for example, see Patent Document 3) have been proposed. None of them had a good color tone and satisfied a satisfactory chewy texture in both stems and leaves.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
It is an object of the present invention to provide a wakame that has the original color tone, chewyness, and flavor while blanching wakame, which has conventionally had stems and leaves separately, with the stem still.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present inventors have conducted intensive studies in order to solve the above problems, and as a result, blanched the collected seaweed with an aqueous solution of alkaline underground sea, cooled with underground seawater, washed, and then subjected to rapid freezing with stems.

[0006]
That is, the present invention has the following configuration.

9. 2. The method for producing frozen wakame as described in 1 above, wherein the wakame has a stem or a middle stem.
[0007]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Wakame taxonomically belongs to the genus Wakame, a subfamily of the family Laminariaceae, belonging to the genus Wakame. The types include Wakame (Undaria pinatifida), Hirome (U. undarioides), and Auokame (U. peterseniana), but in terms of taste. In the present invention, wakame is preferably used.
The raw material seaweed used in the present invention is not limited to domestic products and imported products as long as it is seaweed harvested from the sea or produced at a farm. Domestic products include, for example, Naruto wakame and Sanriku wakame collected at Naruto and Sanriku coasts, and imported products mainly include Korean and Chinese wakame.
[0008]
The process for blanching and quick-freezing wakame in the present invention comprises a first step of blanching with an aqueous alkaline sea solution and a second step of subjecting to rapid freezing without salting.
In the first step, first, the lower stem (the portion close to the root, also referred to as the original stem, see FIG. 1) of the collected seaweed, and the defective portion of the mekabu (sprouts) part and the leaves are removed, and preferably at about 70 ° C. or more. Is poured into an alkaline underground seawater solution having a pH of about 7 to 9 adjusted with an alkali agent at about 80 ° C. or higher, and blanched in general for about 40 to 300 seconds, preferably for about 90 to 180 seconds. It is done by doing.
The purpose of blanching wakame is to deactivate enzymes and prevent the progress of deterioration, and to immobilize chlorophyll, a green component of wakame. Normal blanching of seaweed is for 30 seconds to 60 seconds, and a method of blanching for a long time of 90 seconds or more has not yet been known.
[0009]
After blanching, it is preferable to immediately cool, wash, and drain with groundwater. The cooling is preferably performed by, for example, charging the blanched seaweed into groundwater and cooling it to the temperature of service water in a short time, and then washing foreign substances and the like with the groundwater. Draining is preferably performed, for example, by applying light pressure to the cooled and washed seaweed.
[0010]
Seawater may be collected directly from the sea, but underground seawater collected from underground near the coast or underground on the sea floor (for example, continental shelf) is generally preferably used because it has a low viable cell count. When collecting seawater from underground, seawater pumped from a well located several tens of meters away from the shore or quay is preferable. The pH of general seawater is 8.2 ± 0.3, and the pH of groundwater is 7.6 ± 0.3.
In addition, tap water that has the same composition as underground seawater by adding necessary salt components can also be used.
[0011]
If desired, the pH of the seawater is adjusted with an alkaline agent to a pH of about 7-9, preferably about pH8. Examples of the alkaline agent include organic acid salts, preferably alkali metal salts or alkaline earth metal salts of organic acids, such as sodium citrate, sodium tartrate, sodium malate, sodium acetate, sodium lactate, sodium succinate, and the like. Acid salts, preferably alkali metal or alkaline earth metal salts of phosphoric acid, such as sodium polyphosphate, sodium pyrophosphate, disodium phosphate, trisodium phosphate, potassium polyphosphate, potassium pyrophosphate, potassium diphosphate Tribasic potassium phosphate and the like, and carbonates, preferably alkali metal salts or alkaline earth metal salts of carbonic acid, such as sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, potassium carbonate, calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate and the like, hydroxide salts, preferably Is water of alkali metal or alkaline earth metal Products, for example, sodium hydroxide, and potassium hydroxide, or pH buffering agents capable of maintaining the approximately 7-9 alkaline side of the pH, may be used alone or as a mixture thereof. Examples of the alkali metal salts include sodium salts and potassium salts, and examples of the alkaline earth metal salts include magnesium salts. Among these salts, sodium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, sodium hydrogen carbonate, disodium hydrogen phosphate and the like are particularly preferably used. The amount of these alkaline agents used may vary depending on the type and intended pH, but in order to obtain seawater having a pH of about 8 using sodium hydrogen carbonate, generally about 0 to 100 L of seawater is used. 0.1 to 1 kg, preferably about 0.2 to 0.5 kg. In addition, as these alkaline agents, any of crystals, hydrates and anhydrides can be used.
When blanching, if the same hot water is used several times without adding an alkaline agent, the pH value of the hot water is inclined to the acidic side, which adversely affects the color of the seaweed. Therefore, in order to carry out blanching with seawater, it is preferable to adjust by adding an alkali agent appropriately so as to maintain a desired pH value (about pH 7 to 9, preferably about pH 8).
[0012]
The rapid freezing as the second step of the present invention is not particularly limited as long as the temperature of the seaweed can be reduced to about −15 ° C. or less in a short time, but, for example, the drained seaweed is placed in a tray, and A technique of freezing in a tunnel freezer may be used.
[0013]
Freezing is performed by directly blowing cold air of about −40 ° C. or less onto a tray and rapidly freezing at a freezing rate of about 50 ° C./h or more, preferably about 75 ° C./h or more. It is preferred that the temperature be reached at or below ° C. Generally, rapid freezing is achieved in about 20-60 minutes when the freezing rate is about 50 ° C / h, and about 10-40 minutes when the freezing rate is about 75 ° C / h.
When the food is frozen, when the water content in the food falls below the freezing point, ice crystals form and freezing starts. There is a negative relationship between crystal size and cooling rate. That is, when the cooling rate is slow, ice crystals become large and cell destruction of the food proceeds, and when thawed, it is not possible to restore the texture of fresh seaweed.
The wakame with a blanched stem that has been rapidly frozen in a short time can be stored in a plastic bag at about −20 ° C. for a long period of time.
