Description

  The present invention relates to a plastic fat composition suitable for roll-in and a layered wheat flour expanded food using the plastic fat composition.

  The roll-in plastic fat composition is used for producing a layered wheat flour expanded food having a crispy texture such as Danish pastry, croissant, pie and the like. The roll-in plastic fat composition is sandwiched between doughs during the production of these layered wheat flour-extended foods, and is repeatedly folded and rolled to form many thin fat layers in the dough. These layers of fats and oils prevent mutual adhesion of the flour dough layers during folding and rolling, and during firing, these fat and oil layers block the diffusion of water vapor and carbon dioxide generated from the dough, The dough swells in layers. Furthermore, the plastic oil composition for roll-in folded in layers is finally melted and absorbed into the dough, and the dough that has absorbed the plastic oil composition for roll-in is gelatinized with starch in the dough, and protein It solidifies by heat denaturation. As a result, the layered wheat flour food has a unique layer structure and a crispy texture.

In these roll-in plastic oil and fat compositions, the use of hard oils and fats with a high melting point makes it difficult for oils and fats to dissolve from the initial to the middle of firing, and water vapor and carbon dioxide gas are well retained between the oil and fat layers. It is known that the float will improve. On the other hand, in order to ensure the extensibility of the plastic oil composition for roll-in in folding, rolling processes, etc., it is also known to mix the above hard oil and liquid oil.
As such a roll-in plastic oil and fat composition, an oil and fat composition for roll-in comprising a mixture of an extremely hardened palm kernel oil and an extremely hardened palm oil and a transesterified oil, palm stearin, and liquid oil (Patent Document 1) And oil compositions for roll-in (see Patent Document 2) composed of specific extremely hardened vegetable oils and liquid oils.

Hereinafter, the plastic fat composition for roll-in of the present invention will be described in detail.
The plastic oil composition for roll-in of the present invention contains oil A, oil B, and oil C in the oil phase.

  The fats and oils A contain 20 to 60% by weight, preferably 25 to 40% by weight, more preferably 28 to 35% by weight of saturated fatty acids having 12 to 14 carbon atoms in the total fatty acids constituting the fats and oils A, and It is a transesterified oil and fat containing 40 to 80% by mass, preferably 46 to 70% by mass, more preferably 52 to 68% by mass of a saturated fatty acid having 16 to 18 carbon atoms. In addition, the fats and oils A may contain other fatty acids as long as the saturated fatty acid having 12 to 14 carbon atoms and the saturated fatty acid having 16 to 18 carbon atoms satisfy the above.

When the composition and content of the fatty acid constituting the oil and fat A are out of the above range, the obtained plastic oil and fat composition for roll-in cannot have an appropriate hardness, and the extensibility becomes worse. The layered wheat flour expanded food using the roll-in plastic fat composition cannot maintain the crunchy texture for a long time. Moreover, when the fats and oils A are not transesterified, the physical properties are extremely hard, and not only moderate plasticity cannot be obtained for roll-in, but also the meltability in the mouth becomes very bad.
In addition, the analysis of the constituent fatty acid in fats and oils can be performed according to AOCS Ce1f-96.

Examples of the fat A include, for example, mixed oils obtained by mixing lauric fats and vegetable oils (rapeseed oil, soybean oil, palm oil, etc.) rich in fatty acids having 16 to 18 carbon atoms. After transesterification of the mixed fat and oil obtained by mixing the palm-based fat and oil, it is possible to preferably use the fat and oil whose hydrogen value is reduced to 0 to 2 by hydrogenation.
Here, the lauric fats and oils are those having a lauric acid content of 30% by mass or more in the constituent fatty acids of the fats and oils, such as palm kernel oil, palm oil, and fractionated oils thereof. Moreover, palm oil and fats include palm oil fractionated hard parts, palm oil fractionated soft parts, and the like that are obtained by fractionating palm oil and palm oil into raw materials.

Furthermore, as an example of the fats and oils A, for example, it is obtained by mixing a lauric fat and oil fractionated hard part which is a lauric fat and oil having an iodine value of 10 or less and a palm fractionated hard part which is a palm based fat and oil having an iodine value of 20 or less. It is possible to use a mixture obtained by transesterifying the mixed fats and oils. The iodine value of the obtained transesterified oil is preferably 17 or less, and more preferably 13 or less. In this case, it can be used without hydrogenation.
Here, the lauric oil / fat fractionated hard part is obtained by fractionating palm kernel oil or palm oil, and is generally a fraction having a high melting point, and generally called palm kernel oil stearin, palm oil stearin or the like. It is classified as a thing. Moreover, a palm fractionation hard part is obtained by fractionating from palm oil, and is generally classified into what is called stearin, palm stearin and the like.

There is no particular limitation on the method of transesterification, for example, a method of reacting the mixed oil of lauric oil and palm oil or palm fractionation oil with an alkali catalyst such as sodium methoxide or an enzyme such as lipase as a catalyst. It is done. The transesterification may be regiospecific transesterification or random transesterification.
Moreover, there is no restriction | limiting in particular also in the method of hydrogenation. Hydrogenation can be performed, for example, under conditions of 160 to 200 ° C. under the nickel catalyst. This hydrogenation is preferably performed until the iodine value becomes 2 or less, more preferably complete hydrogenation performed until the iodine value becomes 0.
The order of transesterification and hydrogenation may be reversed, and transesterification may be performed after hydrogenation of lauric oil and palm oil.

The fats and oils B contain a saturated fatty acid having 16 carbon atoms, a saturated fatty acid having 18 carbon atoms, and a monosaturated fatty acid having 18 carbon atoms in the total fatty acids constituting the fat and oil B.
Content of the said C16 saturated fatty acid is 25-38 mass%, Preferably it is 28-38 mass%, More preferably, it is 30-38 mass%.
Content of the said C18 saturated fatty acid is 0.5-6 mass%, Preferably it is 3-6 mass%, More preferably, it is 3-5 mass%.
Content of the said C18 monounsaturated fatty acid is 40-60 mass%, Preferably it is 40-55 mass%, More preferably, it is 43-50 mass%.

In addition, the fat and oil B is composed of triacylglycerol (PO2) containing one palmitic acid and two oleic acids as constituents, and triacylglycerol (P2O containing two palmitic acids and one oleic acid as constituents). ) And the ratio of P2O to PO2 (P2O / PO2) is preferably less than 1.
Here, PO2 and P2O in the present invention do not particularly limit the binding positions of the fatty acids constituting them. That is, PO2 in the present invention may be composed only of POO (1-palmitoyl-2,3 dioleoylglycerin) or composed only of OPO (2-palmitoyl-1,3 dioleoylglycerin). It may be. Furthermore, both POO and OPO may be included.
Similarly, P2O in the present invention may be composed only of OPP (1-oleo-2,3 dipalmitoyl glycerin) or only POP (2-oleo-1,3 dipalmitoyl glycerin). May be. Furthermore, both OPP and POP may be included.
In the present invention, the binding positions of the fatty acids constituting PO2 and P2O are not particularly limited as described above.
In addition, the content of PO2 and P2O in fats and oils can be analyzed according to JAOCS, vol 170, 11, 1111-1114 (1993).

  When the composition and content of the fatty acid constituting the oil and fat B and the total content and content ratio of PO2 and P2O are within the above ranges, the obtained roll-in plastic oil and fat composition has appropriate physical properties. Thus, the extensibility is improved, and the layered flour-expanded food using the plastic fat composition has a more crisp texture.

As said fats and oils B, a palm oil fractionation soft part can be used preferably, for example.
Palm oil fractionated soft parts are those having a low melting point obtained by fractionation from palm oil, and are generally classified into olein, super olein, top olein, single olein, double olein, triple olein and the like.

  The palm oil used as a raw material of a palm oil fractionation soft part is obtained by the following method, for example. Oil palm fruit bunches are treated with steam and then oiled by pressing. The collected oil is dried by removing fibers and impurities by centrifugation. Then, it goes through a purification process according to a conventional method. Examples of the purification method include chemical purification and physical purification. The palm oil thus obtained is fractionated as follows to obtain a palm oil fractionation soft part.

  There is no restriction | limiting in particular in the palm oil fractionation method for obtaining a palm oil fractionation soft part, The method of fractionating using the natural fractionation method by cooling, surfactant, a solvent, etc. is employable. A middle melting point portion or a low melting point portion obtained by fractionating palm oil is generally called a palm oil fractionation soft portion. The high melting point portion is generally called palm stearin. In this invention, it is preferable to use the low melting-point part obtained by fractionating palm oil as said palm oil fractionation soft part.

The palm oil fractionated soft part obtained by fractionating palm oil has an iodine value of preferably 58 to 75, more preferably 58 to 68, and most preferably 60 to 65. When the iodine value of the said palm oil fractionation soft part is in the said range, the workability | operativity at the time of roll-in of the plastic oil-fat composition for roll-ins obtained becomes more excellent.
In addition, the iodine value of the said palm oil fractionation soft part can be measured according to the method of "The Japan Oil Chemists' Society standard fats and oils analysis test method 2.3.4.1-1996".

  The palm oil fractionated soft part contains a large amount of palmitic acid and oleic acid as constituent fatty acids. Moreover, it is also preferable that the said palm oil fractionation soft part contains linoleic acid in addition to palmitic acid and oleic acid as the constituent fatty acid. The content of linoleic acid contained in the palm oil fractionated soft part is preferably 5 to 20% by mass, more preferably 10 to 15% by mass, based on the total fatty acids contained in the palm oil fractionated soft part.

  When the palm oil fractionation soft part is used as the fat and oil B, the obtained plastic oil and fat composition for roll-in is particularly preferable in that the texture of the layered wheat flour expanded food is excellent. The reason for this is that the palm fraction soft oil serves as a bridge between the fat A, which is a hard fat, and the fat C, which is a liquid oil, and maintains the continuity of the fat layer in the layered flour-expanded food, thereby transferring moisture. This is considered to be effectively prevented.

Moreover, it is also preferable to use transesterified oil as the said fats and oils B. As the transesterified oil, a palm oil fractionated soft part alone or a mixed oil / fat of liquid vegetable oil and palm oil / fat can be preferably used. The content of the liquid vegetable oil in the mixed fat is preferably 30 to 55% by mass, more preferably 35 to 50% by mass. Moreover, the content of palm-based fats and oils in the mixed fats and oils is preferably 45 to 70% by mass, and more preferably 50 to 65% by mass.
As the liquid vegetable oil, those having an oleic acid content of 50% by mass or more can be used, and examples thereof include rapeseed oil, high oleic rapeseed oil, high oleic safflower oil, and high oleic sunflower oil. Moreover, as palm oil fat, the thing similar to the above-mentioned thing can be used. Specifically, what transesterified the mixed fats and oils of palm oil and rapeseed oil can be used as the fats and oils B.

When the content of the liquid vegetable oil in the mixed fat is less than 30% by mass or exceeds 55% by mass, the content of oleic acid becomes excessive and insufficient, and the total content of PO2 and P2O may be less than 35% by mass. is there.
When the content of palm-based fats and oils in the mixed fats and oils is less than 45% by mass or exceeds 70% by mass, the content of palmitic acid becomes excessive and insufficient, and the total content of PO2 and P2O may be less than 35% by mass. There is.

When the transesterified oil is used as the fat / oil B, the obtained plastic oil / fat composition for roll-in is preferable in that it can maintain good extensibility even when stored for a long period of time. The reason for this is considered to be that the nature of the crystal, which is inherently hardened with palm oil, is relaxed by transesterification.
Moreover, as the fats and oils B, it can use suitably also about the mixed oil of the said palm oil fractionation soft part and the said transesterified oil.

  In the present invention, liquid oil is used as the fat C. Here, the liquid oil refers to a fat having fluidity at normal temperature (25 ° C.). Examples of the liquid oil include liquid vegetable oils and triglyceride-containing fats and oils having medium chain fatty acids as constituent fatty acids. Such liquid oil is more preferably liquid even at 5 ° C. and having transparency.

As described above, the liquid vegetable oil refers to a vegetable oil that has fluidity at room temperature (25 ° C.), and preferably refers to a vegetable oil that has fluidity and transparency at 5 ° C.
Liquid vegetable oils include soybean oil, rapeseed oil, corn oil, sunflower oil, safflower oil, sesame oil, cottonseed oil, rice oil, olive oil, peanut oil, linseed oil, and hydrogenated oils of these oils alone or in combination. Oils or transesterified oils of a plurality of mixed oils, and processed oils such as fractionated oils of these single oils or mixed oils. Among these, it is preferable to use soybean oil, rapeseed oil, and corn oil from the viewpoint of availability and price.

  The triglyceride-containing fat or oil having a medium chain fatty acid as a constituent fatty acid means a fat or oil containing a triglyceride in which at least one medium chain fatty acid is ester-bonded to a glycerin skeleton. The content of the triglyceride in the triglyceride-containing oil or fat having a medium chain fatty acid as a constituent fatty acid is preferably 4 to 100% by mass, more preferably 10 to 100% by mass, and 15 to 100% by mass. Is most preferred.

Here, the medium chain fatty acid is a fatty acid having 6 to 10 carbon atoms, and specific examples include n-hexanoic acid, n-octanoic acid, and n-decanoic acid.
Specific examples of triglyceride-containing fats and oils having medium-chain fatty acids as constituent fatty acids include medium-chain fatty acid triglycerides (MCT) in which all three fatty acids ester-bonded to the glycerin skeleton are medium-chain fatty acids, and one for the glycerin skeleton. Alternatively, there is an oil or fat containing triglyceride (MLCT) in which two medium chain fatty acids are ester-bonded and the remaining fatty acids are ester-bonded. As a medium chain fatty acid triglyceride which is liquid and transparent even at 5 ° C., for example, a product manufactured by Nisshin Oillio Group, Inc .: ODO can be mentioned.

  Moreover, as fats and oils containing MLCT, for example, transesterified fats and oils obtained by transesterifying a mixed oil obtained by mixing medium-chain fatty acid triglyceride (MCT) and the above-described liquid vegetable oil in a mass ratio of 10:90 to 90:10. Can be mentioned. In the case of fats and oils containing MLCT, the content of triglycerides having medium chain fatty acids as constituent fatty acids is preferably 20 to 80% by mass, more preferably 30 to 70% by mass, and 40 to 60% by mass. Most preferably it is.

When a triglyceride-containing fat containing medium-chain fatty acid as a constituent fatty acid is used as the liquid oil used for fat C, it is preferable because the texture of the layered wheat flour expanded food becomes lighter and softer.
As said fats and oils C, 2 or more types can also be mixed and used among the liquid oil mentioned above.

  As the MLCT content analysis and calculation method, a method well known in the art can be used. J. et al. A review by VANDER WAL (Jarnal of American Oil Chemist's Society 40, 242-247 (1963)) can be referred to.

  The oil phase in the plastic oil composition for roll-in of the present invention contains 10-50 mass% of the oil A, 10-50 mass% of the oil B, and 10-50 mass% of the oil C. It is more preferable that the oil and fat A is contained in an amount of 30 to 40% by mass, the oil and fat B in an amount of 30 to 40% by mass, and the oil and fat C in an amount of 30 to 40% by mass. When the content of fats and oils A, fats and oils B, and fats and oils C in the oil phase is within the above-described ranges, the extensibility of the obtained roll-in plastic fat composition is improved, and the roll-in plastic fat composition is provided. The layered flour-expanded food using food can maintain a crisp texture for a long time.

  Further, the oil-in composition for roll-in of the present invention may contain other fats and oils other than the above-mentioned fats and oils A, fats and oils C and fats and oils C in a range not impairing the object of the present invention. The amount of other fats and oils in the oil phase is preferably 35% by mass or less, more preferably 30% by mass or less, still more preferably 20% by mass or less, and most preferably 10% by mass or less.

It is 2 mass%, More preferably, it is 2-20 mass%. When the oil phase content is 100% by mass, it is a shortening type, and when it contains an aqueous phase, it is a margarine type.

Moreover, it is preferable that the plastic fat composition for roll-in of this invention does not contain a trans fatty acid substantially.
Hydrogenation is a typical method for increasing the melting point of fats and oils, but the hydrogenated fats and oils obtained by this method usually contain about 10 to 50% by mass of trans fatty acids in the constituent fatty acids, except for completely hydrogenated fats and oils. It is. On the other hand, there are almost no trans fatty acids in natural fats and oils, and the fats and oils derived from ruminants contain only less than 10% by mass. In recent years, the influence of excessive intake of trans fatty acids on health has been regarded as a problem, and there has been a demand for plastic oil and fat compositions such as margarine that do not substantially contain trans fatty acids.

Here, “substantially free of trans fatty acid” means that the content of trans fatty acid is less than 10% by mass in the total constituent fatty acids in the oil phase constituting the plastic oil composition for roll-in of the present invention. More preferably, it means less than 5% by mass, most preferably less than 2% by mass.
