Description

  The present invention relates to a white sauce having an appropriate body feeling and an excellent texture, and having a freezing resistance. More specifically, the present invention has an appropriate body feeling and is glossy, textured and melted in the mouth. The present invention relates to a white sauce and a white sauce roux having excellent characteristics when used for frozen storage or frozen foods having excellent freezing resistance.

  In general, white sauce is prepared by cooking white roasted flour with fats such as butter and margarine to make white roux, adding milk, bouillon, seasoning etc. to your taste and cooking it. It is a thing. That is, when flour is used as a body-forming material, the flour is fried with butter and other fats and oils to reduce the stickiness of the flour, reduce the grain odor of the flour, and sometimes give a burnt smell or fragrance It is.

  Due to the pursuit of the perfection of food in recent years, there is a demand for products that have higher gloss, mouthfeel, and smoothness than conventional white sauces that are mainly flour. In addition, frozen foods that can be eaten simply by being heated in a microwave oven or simply fried are becoming popular, and among them, gratin, doria and cream croquettes using white sauce are preferred by many people. ing. However, if the product using white sauce mainly composed of flour as described above is frozen and stored, a water separation phenomenon occurs due to the aging of flour such as wheat flour. However, the viscosity increases over time, and an appropriate viscosity cannot be obtained even by natural thawing.

  In order to solve these problems, various white sauces and production methods thereof have been studied. In JP-A-9-262077, for the purpose of producing a white sauce that remains smooth even when kept at high temperatures for a long period of time and is smooth and has a good mouth melt, a cross-linked starch such as adipic acid cross-linked waxy corn starch is used. A method for producing white sauce added to the main component is disclosed. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-173541 discloses a method for producing pasty foods such as white sauce using hydroxypropyl corn starch having an amylose content of 20 to 35% by mass for the purpose of obtaining a mouth melt and storage stability of the pasty foods. Is disclosed.

  Furthermore, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-337166 discloses a process for producing white roux composed of 40-60% by weight of rapeseed hydrogenated oil and fat having an iodine value of 65-95 and 60-40% by weight of flour for the purpose of freezing resistance. ing. These are all made mainly of wheat flour as the main body-forming material, and these products have excellent mouthfeel such as "mouth", "smoothness" and "gloss" as seen in the present invention. It is not possessed, and after being stored frozen, when it is heated at high temperature for a long time or naturally thawed, it loses its characteristics such as smoothness, melting in the mouth, etc., and its drawbacks such as tendency to become rubbery or hardened have not been solved.

  In addition, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-294568 discloses a puffed rice in order to solve the technical problem that it is easy to cause dama (mamako) in the production of white sauce or white sauce using wheat flour. A method for producing a white sauce or a white sauce base using corn flour and / or puffed corn flour is disclosed. Although these white sauces solve the technical problem of being easy to get rid of, the white sauce's body feeling and texture are not always satisfactory. Therefore, various white sauces have been studied in the past with flour and the like as the main body forming material, but to date, they are frozen and preserved with a moderate body feeling and excellent food texture, and with freezing resistance. Alternatively, when used for frozen foods, no white sauce having excellent characteristics is found.

JP-A-9-262077. Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-294568. Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-337166. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-173541.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a white sauce having a moderate body feeling and an excellent food texture and having a freezing resistance, and in particular, the object of the present invention is to have a moderate body feeling, glossy, The object of the present invention is to provide a white sauce or white sauce roux having excellent characteristics when used in frozen storage or frozen foods having excellent texture and melting in the mouth and having freezing resistance.

  As a result of earnestly various studies to solve the above problems, the present inventor has an appropriate body feeling by using rice starch and / or rice flour as the main body forming material of white sauce, In order to complete the present invention, it is found that white sauce having excellent characteristics can be produced when used for frozen storage or frozen foods having excellent texture and melting in the mouth and freezing resistance. It came. In the present invention, it is preferable that 70% or more of the body forming material of white sauce is formed of rice starch and / or rice flour. The rice starch and / or rice flour used in the present invention is preferably composed of glutinous rice starch and / or glutinous rice flour 20 to 80% by mass and glutinous rice starch and / or glutinous rice flour 80 to 20 parts by mass.

  The glutinous rice flour or glutinous rice flour or glutinous rice starch or glutinous rice starch used in the present invention is prepared from japonica or indica, but the glutinous rice starch and glutinous rice flour are particularly glutinous rice starch and glutinous rice flour prepared from indica. preferable. In the present invention, the rice starch used can be used in the form of processed starch.

  Specifically, the present invention specifically relates to white sauce or white sauce roux (claim 1), characterized in that rice starch and / or rice flour is used as the main body forming material of white sauce, or a body of white sauce. 70% or more of the forming material is formed with rice starch and / or rice flour. The white sauce or white sauce roux according to claim 1 (claim 2), rice starch and / or rice flour, The white sauce or white sauce roux according to claim 1 or 2, comprising glutinous rice starch and / or glutinous rice flour 20 to 80% by mass and glutinous rice starch and / or glutinous rice flour 80 to 20 parts by mass. 3) or glutinous rice flour or glutinous rice flour is glutinous rice flour or glutinous rice flour produced from japonica or indica varieties, or glutinous rice starch or glutinous rice starch 4. White sauce or white sauce roux (claim 4) or sticky rice starch, characterized in that it is glutinous rice starch isolated from glutinous rice of Japonica or Indica varieties, or glutinous rice starch isolated from glutinous rice The white sauce or white sauce roux (claim 5) according to claim 4 or the rice starch is used in the form of processed starch. It consists of a white sauce or a white sauce roo according to any one of claims 1 to 5.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a white sauce having an appropriate body feeling and having excellent characteristics such as gloss, texture, and mouth melting. Further, the white sauce of the present invention has excellent freezing resistance and is stored in a frozen state. Or when it uses for frozen food etc., it can provide as a white sauce which has the outstanding characteristic. In other words, by providing the white sauce of the present invention, conventionally, when a product using white sauce mainly composed of flour is frozen and stored, water separation due to aging of flour, deterioration of texture after thawing, reheating It is possible to solve the problems such as an increase in viscosity due to the above, an inappropriate viscosity in natural thawing, and provide a white sauce with a good taste and texture. In the present invention, the white sauce of the present invention can be prepared as a white sauce roux.

  The present invention comprises white sauce and white sauce roux using rice starch and / or rice flour as the main body-forming material of white sauce. In other words, the present invention uses rice starch and / or rice flour in place of the ingredients involved in the body formation of white sauce, which has been used mainly in the past. The object is to obtain a white sauce that is well-cut, excellent in gloss, texture and mouth-melting, has a smooth texture, and has freezing resistance.

  Here, “rice starch and / or rice flour is the main component” means that, of the body forming material of white sauce, rice starch and / or rice flour is used in an amount of approximately 70% by mass or more, and body formation of white sauce is performed. Among the materials, it is preferable to add rice starch and / or rice flour within this range. In addition, it is possible to use a part of thickening polysaccharides that have a body-forming effect in a small amount, but in that case, about 50% or more, preferably 70% or more of the total viscosity is rice starch and / Or formed with rice flour.

The rice starch and / or rice flour used in the present invention is from glutinous rice starch separated from glutinous rice of various varieties such as japonica and indica varieties, glutinous rice starch separated from glutinous rice, processed starch thereof, and glutinous rice flour and glutinous rice flour. Become. Examples of the modified starch include sodium hypochlorite-treated starch, heat-treated starch, oxidized starch, crosslinked starch, etherified starch, esterified starch, and modified starch obtained by appropriately combining these, and α-modified starch obtained by converting these into α-ized starch. It is done. These modified starches can be produced according to a conventional method. The body forming material prior white sauce, made with mainly flour, flour such as corn flour or rice flour have been used starch or processed starch such as corn starch, they and last basically mainly flour It has become.

  The present invention mainly uses such rice starch and / or rice flour as a body forming material for white sauce, and in that case, a mixture of 20 to 80% by mass of glutinous rice starch and 80 to 20 parts by mass of brown rice starch is used. Thus, the effect of the present invention is more embodied and preferable, and when starch from Indica species having a high amylose content is used as the sticky rice starch, it is particularly preferable because of better dissolution in the mouth.

White sauce mainly composed of conventional flour is prepared by fried flour with fats and oils such as butter and margarine to make white roux, adding milk, bouillon, seasoning etc. according to taste, cooking by heating, It is manufactured with moderate viscosity. In the present invention, a conventional white sauce production method can be used except that rice starch and / or rice flour is used as a main component. In the present invention, unlike conventional methods, rice starch and / or rice flour is directly added to a desired auxiliary material such as milk or bouillon, and the rice starch and / or rice flour is gelatinized to form a body by cooking. You can also make white sauce.
In addition, rice starch and / or rice flour can be used as a main ingredient, and seasonings can be added in advance to prepare white sauce roux.

  In the present invention, a small amount of flour can be added. Even if the added flour is not heat-treated, if it is a small amount, it can sufficiently cover the stickiness of the flour, and in some cases, it can also add aroma by adding roasted flour etc. It is. Thus, the step of roasting with oil as in the case of using flour as a main component can be omitted. In addition, when a flavor obtained by frying wheat flour with oil or the like is necessary, the roux made from the flour as described above can be used, but in that case, about 30% or less can be added. However, addition of about 50% or more is not preferable because a phenomenon of water separation after freezing and thawing is observed.

  In the present invention, fats and oils to be used can be used as long as they are usually used in the production of white sauce such as margarine, animal fats and oils, vegetable fats and oils in addition to butter. Moreover, as above-mentioned, modified starches, such as raw starches, such as wheat flour and corn starch, bridge | crosslinking starch, bridge | crosslinking etherification starch, bridge | crosslinking esterification starch, can also be used additionally. In the present invention, the amount of rice starch and / or rice flour used varies depending on the type of food prepared from the white sauce, but it is used in the range of about 3 to 10% by mass. Thus, a desired body can be formed for each food.

  In recent years, the trend of simplicity has increased day by day, increasing the number of products that ordinary consumers can eat with simple cooking or eat as it is, but from the production of producers until the general consumers eat Because it takes a certain amount of time, processed foods that use white sauce, such as cream croquettes, gratin, doria, cream stew, pasta sauce, soup, etc., will wrinkle and texture on the surface due to temperature changes with time. There is a feeling of stickiness, and the appearance and texture are reduced, such as lack of creaminess and smoothness. The white sauce prepared in the present invention is excellent in terms of smoothness, melting in the mouth, aftertaste, gloss, etc., and also has resistance to freezing and thawing, just by heating it in a microwave oven, microwave oven, etc. In addition, it can be further thawed in a bento or the like, and after a few hours, it can be eaten without heating. Furthermore, white sauce that uses only rice starch and / or rice flour as a body-forming material and does not use wheat flour is advantageous for wheat allergic patients.
