Description

The present invention relates to a sauce having a richness in which cocoa, caramel and meat are blended in a sauce in which tomato is blended.

Gomi means sweetness, sourness, bitterness, salty taste, and umami. Substances that exhibit umami include sodium glutamate (a typical umami component of kelp), sodium inosinate (a typical umami component of bonito), Sodium guanylate (a typical umami component of shiitake mushroom) is known. In addition, it is known that there is a synergistic effect between glutamic acid and a nucleic acid-based umami substance, and seasonings using this are used in a wide variety of sources. However, in the sauce using such a seasoning, although the umami is enhanced, it becomes a simple taste, and does not lead to the natural and complex umami enhancement of the sauce, and has the disadvantage that the umami is blurred. Yes.

Richness is known as a flavor that adds complexity and depth to the umami of the sauce. As a traditional cooking method that adds richness, for example, add chopped onion and other flavored vegetables and an appropriate amount of salad oil in a frying pan or pan, and first fry it over medium heat, to a certain extent the moisture in the flavored vegetables After that, there is known a method of making a so-called mill pore that is further fried slowly over low heat. Examples of foods and food additives to which richness is imparted are described in, for example, natural extracts such as animal meat extracts, seafood extracts, and vegetable extracts, peptides, and JP-A-60-9465 (Patent Document 1). Glutathione, amino acid derivatives described in JP-A-8-143551 (Patent Document 2), and the like are known. However, in order to make mirupore, it had to be fried carefully for a long time, which was not suitable for production on an industrial scale. In addition, natural extracts have an unpleasant odor, bitterness and taste from the raw materials, and ingredients that give richness, such as peptides, also have an unpleasant taste and off-flavor, resulting in restrictions on the amount used, and sufficient richness I couldn't.

On the other hand, tomato is an ingredient often used in Italian cuisine and the like, and a typical sauce containing tomato includes meat sauce and the like. Sauces containing tomatoes such as meat sauce have a light taste overall due to the sour taste of tomatoes, so a rich sauce is desired.

According to the present invention, since the sauce containing tomato can have richness, new demand for the sauce containing tomato is expected to increase.

The present invention will be described in detail below. In the present invention, “%” means “mass%” and “part” means “part by mass”.

The sauce blended with the tomatoes of the present invention is characterized by blending cocoa, caramel and meat, thereby solving the problem of overall light taste due to the sour taste of tomatoes and obtaining a rich sauce be able to. Examples of the sauce of the present invention include meat sauce (Bolognese sauce), ragout sauce, amatriciana, demiglace sauce and the like. Among these sauces, the meat sauce is preferable because the effects of the present invention are easily exhibited.

The tomato used for the sauce of the present invention may be a fresh tomato or a processed tomato canned product subjected to a retort treatment. Moreover, what is necessary is just to use a favorite shape and a size for a tomato according to various sauces, and what is necessary is just to use whole tomato, dice tomato, tomato puree, tomato paste, etc. In the sauce of the present invention, the mixing ratio of tomato is not particularly specified, but the mixing ratio of tomato is preferably 10% or more and more preferably 15% or more. This is because if the blending ratio of tomato is less than the above value, the difficulty of feeling rich due to the light taste of the tomato is less likely to be a problem.

Cocoa, which is an essential blending raw material of the present invention, refers to cocoa cake obtained by crushing cocoa beans by crushing cacao mass obtained by crushing cocoa beans, removing the skin, roasting in a roaster, and then crushing. It is obtained by crushing. The blending ratio of cocoa is preferably 0.01 to 5%, more preferably 0.05 to 3% with respect to the product.

Caramel, which is an essential ingredient of the present invention, is obtained by heat-treating edible carbohydrates such as sucrose, glucose, invert sugar, starch syrup, starch hydrolysate, and molasses. The blending ratio of caramel is preferably 0.01 to 5% and more preferably 0.05 to 3% with respect to the product.

The meat that is an essential blending raw material of the present invention may be any meat for cattle, pigs, chickens, etc. provided for food, and the meat may be salted like pancetta or bacon. It may be smoked after being salted. 10-60% is preferable with respect to a product, and, as for the mixture ratio of meat, 15-50% is more preferable.

If the blending ratio of the cocoa, caramel and meat is less than the above range, it will be difficult to impart richness, while if it exceeds the above range, the flavor balance will be poor, and an undesirable tendency will be seen.

In the present invention, it is preferable to add lard as a blending raw material because a richness can be further imparted. Here, lard means refined lard and may be obtained from any part of pig. The blending ratio of lard is preferably 0.01 to 10%, more preferably 0.1 to 5% with respect to the product. If the blending ratio of the lard is less than the above range, the richness of the lard is hardly expressed, whereas if it exceeds the above range, the flavor balance is deteriorated and an unfavorable tendency is observed.

Although the sauces on the market including the present invention are sterilized by heat due to bacterial problems, when the retort treatment is performed at a temperature exceeding 100 ° C., it becomes difficult to feel the richness of the sauce. Since this invention can provide richness even if it performs such a retort process, it is suitable for a retort sauce. Note that the retort treatment is performed by filling and sealing the sauce in a heat-resistant container such as a retort pouch or canned food, and performing a heat treatment corresponding to 4 minutes at 120 ° C. at the center of the sauce, or equivalent or higher.
