Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a lightly pickled eggplant contained in a packaging container which enables a user to select a pickling degree of eggplant pickles without making the hand dirty, and is free from requiring eating in a rush because of being pickled too much like conventional pickles. <P>SOLUTION: The lightly pickled eggplant is such that as means for separating a pickling bed 2a and an eggplant 1, an internally wrapped article 3 which internally wraps the eggplant with a bag-like sheet material 3a is loaded in an external container 5a filled with the pickling bed, and as means for releasing the separated condition without touching the pickling bed and mixing both of them, one edge part 3b of the internally wrapped article 3 is exposed to the outside of the external container. The bag-like sheet material and the skin of the eggplant stick to each other, but only the bag-like sheet material can be easily discharged from the external container by a method of making the sheet material in a folded double layer (numeral 4). A user pulls out the sheet material, choosing the proper time to eat, and starts pickling, so an aqueous solution of oligosaccharide or polysaccharide, agar 7, and lactic acid bacteria are enclosed together with the eggplant in order to retain freshness of the eggplant before pickling in circulation, and shorten a pickling time after releasing the separated condition. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT

Description

本発明は漬物である包装容器入り茄子の浅漬けに係り、さらに詳しくは、複層とした包装容器内で漬床と茄子とが隔離され、且つ茄子の鮮度が保持された状態で流通させ、後に利用者が食する時を見計らって、手を汚さず、容易に、前記隔離状態を解除して漬け込みを開始でき、その後は短時間で好みの漬かり度合いの浅漬けが食べられる新規製品に関するものである。   The present invention relates to shallow pickling of coconuts in packaging containers that are pickles, and more specifically, the pickled bed and cocoons are isolated in a multi-layer packaging container and the freshness of the coconuts is circulated, and later It is related to a new product that allows the user to start pickling by releasing the above-mentioned isolated state easily without messing his hands, and then immersing it in a short time. is there.

茄子の浅漬けとは、漬床や漬液に茄子を短時間漬けた漬物である。その漬け込み時間は茄子の種類、果実のカットの有無、下処理工程(塩粒による手揉みや塩分による下漬け)の有無や程度、また漬床や漬液の種類や特に塩分濃度などに左右され、数時間のものから2〜3日に及ぶものもあり、一概に規定はできない。しかし一般的には素材自身の味や香り、またサクサクとした食感を併せ楽しめる程度に漬け味の果実への浸透度は控え目なことが浅漬けの好まれて食される第1の理由である。   Asako pickles are pickles made by pickling eggplants for a short time in pickles or pickles. The soaking time depends on the type of the eggplant, whether or not the fruit is cut, whether or not the pretreatment process (hand kneading with salt or pickling with salt), the type of pickling bed or pickling solution, and especially the salt concentration, etc. There are things that last from 2 to 3 days from the time, and it is not possible to define them in general. However, in general, the permeation into the pickled fruit is modest so that you can enjoy the taste and aroma of the material itself and the crispy texture as well. is there.

上記のうち、特に果実のカットの有無は、漬け込み時間を大きく左右する。仮に袋詰めを前提に最小限の漬床や漬液のみ使うことなどを条件とすれば、ヘタを取らずカットもしていない丸のままの茄子の場合、糠床による浅漬けでは2〜3日を要するのに対して、少しでもカットした茄子の場合は半日〜1日で漬けあがる。また糠床に替えて液漬けとした場合、丸のままの茄子では1〜2日を要するが、カットした茄子の場合は数時間か、あるいは塩分濃度の高い漬液の場合は30分程度で漬けあがる場合もある。しかし一般的には、カットしたものは丸のままの浅漬けより茄子本来のサクサクとした食感が失われているケースが多く、また好みは分かれるものの、糠など漬床による本格的な浅漬けに比べると、液漬けの場合にはどうしても塩味が茄子本来の味や香りの前面に出てしまう、という意見が多い。   Among the above, the presence or absence of fruit cuts greatly affects the pickling time. Assuming that only a minimum of dipping bed or dipping solution is used on the premise of bagging, in the case of a round coconut that has not been cut or cut, it takes 2-3 days to dip it in a shallow soak. On the other hand, in the case of an eggplant cut even a little, it can be pickled in half a day to a day. In addition, when it is soaked in place of the cocoon bed, it takes 1-2 days for a cocoon with a round shape, but it takes several hours for a cut coconut or about 30 minutes for a dip with a high salt concentration. Sometimes it goes up. In general, however, the cut ones often lose their crispy texture rather than the rounded shallow pickles, and although the tastes are different, they can be used for full-fledged shallow pickles such as rice cakes. By comparison, there are many opinions that the salty taste is always in front of the original taste and scent of yuzu when it is soaked in liquid.

袋詰めされた茄子の浅漬け製品は既に広く市場に流通している。一般的には塩分による下漬け工程の済んだ茄子を、より低塩濃度の漬床又は漬液に漬けなおして一緒にパック詰めしたものである。なおスーパーなどで見かける量販品は、丸のままの果実のものより、カットして液漬けされたものが圧倒的に多い。これらは主に下漬けの強弱の程度によって、パックされる漬床又は漬液の量や塩分濃度は調整されるが、僅かでも袋の中に塩分の含まれる限りにおいては時間の経過とともに漬かりが深くなる。またこれらは何れの場合も、一つの製品において漬かり度合は所与のものであり、消費者が漬かり度合を設定したりコントロールすることは出来ない。   Bags of Asako pickled products are already widely available on the market. Generally, coconuts that have been subjected to the salting step with salt are re-immersed in a lower salt concentration or a pickling solution and then packed together. In addition, mass-produced products found at supermarkets are overwhelmingly more cut and dipped than round fruits. The amount of the pickled bed or pickled solution and the salt concentration are adjusted mainly depending on the level of pickling, but as long as the salt is contained in the bag, the picking becomes deeper as time passes. . In any case, the degree of pickling in a single product is given, and the consumer cannot set or control the degree of pickling.

袋詰めされた茄子の漬物製品の製造方法は下記特許文献1に見られるが、これは主に下漬けされた茄子をその後流通過程において袋の中でいかに色落ちしないようにするかの提案であって、味や食感の面での漬かり度合については考慮されていない。また下記特許文献2では、工場では下漬けを行わず、包装容器に野菜と調味液を封入して流通過程で漬け込みを行う漬物製品の製造方法が提案されている。しかしこの方法は、流通過程における時間の経過による漬かり方のばらつきが大きいものと推察される。   The manufacturing method of pickled coconut pickled products can be found in Patent Document 1 below, but this is mainly a proposal of how to prevent the pickled cocoon from fading in the bag during the subsequent distribution process. Therefore, the degree of pickling in terms of taste and texture is not considered. Patent Document 2 below proposes a method for manufacturing pickled products in which vegetables and seasoning liquid are enclosed in a packaging container and pickled in the distribution process without being pickled at the factory. However, this method is presumed to have a large variation in the method of pickling over time in the distribution process.

漬物の包装容器の面から見れば、下記特許文献3において、主に漬物を想定して食品と味材を容器内で区画材等を介して別々に収容し、販売時もしくは食する直前に両者を混合させるべく構成とした容器が提案されている。しかしその内容は味材が液体に限られ練状体である糠床等は含まれず、また区画されて未だ漬物には至っていない食品の鮮度保持を如何にするかなどについても考慮されておらず、概して具体的なものではない。また下記特許文献4では、漬床に直接触れることなく漬け込める漬物用床袋が提案されている。その内容は、食品と味材を袋内で別々に収容するものだが、両者を区画する材は不織布であり且つその不織布は外袋に側縁部で固着されているのが条件のため、漬り度合は次第に進行し、また利用者が漬かり度合を調節することは難しい。   From the viewpoint of pickled packaging containers, in Patent Document 3 below, food and flavoring materials are separately stored in the container via partitioning materials, assuming both pickles, and both at the time of sale or immediately before eating. There has been proposed a container configured to mix the two. However, its contents are limited to liquids and do not include rice cakes, etc. that are paste-like, and how to maintain the freshness of food that has not yet been pickled has been considered. In general, it is not concrete. Patent Document 4 below proposes a pickle floor bag that can be pickled without directly touching the pickled floor. The food and flavoring materials are contained separately in the bag, but the material that separates the two is a non-woven fabric, and the non-woven fabric is fixed to the outer bag at the side edges, so pickled. The degree of progress is progressive and it is difficult for the user to adjust the degree of pickling.

なお下記特許文献5と6は、おにぎりの包装に関するものである。これらは海苔の湿気るのを防ぐ目的で海苔と米飯の間にシートを介し、食べる際に該シートを外すものである。本包装容器入り茄子の浅漬けの発明においても漬床や漬液と茄子との間に袋状のシート材を介し、該シート材を外すこと等により漬け込みを開始する方法をとっている。しかしこれらの目的や効果はまったく別のものであり、産業上の利用分野も異なる。そして包装容器入りおにぎりの分野においては考慮されていない、内包する茄子の鮮度保持や、前記シート材をはずした後の茄子の漬け込み時間の短縮なども、本発明に固有のものである。   The following Patent Documents 5 and 6 relate to the packaging of rice balls. In order to prevent the seaweed from getting wet, these are provided with a sheet between the seaweed and the cooked rice, and the sheet is removed when eating. Also in the invention of shallow pickling of the eggplant containing the packaging container, the pickling is started by removing the sheet material through a bag-like sheet material between the pickled bed or the pickled solution and the eggplant. However, these purposes and effects are completely different, and the fields of industrial use are also different. And, in the field of rice balls in a packaging container, maintenance of the freshness of the contained eggplants, shortening of the pickling time of the eggplants after removing the sheet material, etc. are also inherent to the present invention.

また下記特許文献7は二糖類であるトレハロースによる塩分を通じた味と旨味の増強効果に関するものである。本包装容器入り茄子の浅漬けの発明においても、流通時における漬込み前の茄子の鮮度保持、同じく変色の防止、及び茄子と接した状態で封入する溶液(水分子)そのものの安定化、などの目的のために糖類を茄子と同封する。そして糖類の併せ持つ適度な甘味との対比による塩味や旨味の増強効果が、結果として前記シート材をはずした後の茄子の漬け込み時間の短縮に寄与する(本発明では糖類などと同様の目的のため、さらに乳酸菌を加えて茄子と同封する場合がある)。したがって本発明に使用する糖類はトレハロースに限定されず、また糖類などの封入は単に食味面だけでなく茄子の鮮度保持などを含めた複合的な効果を得るためであり、さらに本発明における包装容器面での工夫と結合して、その利用者に新しく大きな利便を与えようとするものである。

Patent Document 7 below relates to the effect of enhancing taste and umami through salt by trehalose, which is a disaccharide. In the invention of the pickled eggplant in this packaging container, the freshness of the eggplant before pickling during distribution, the prevention of discoloration, and the stabilization of the solution (water molecule) itself in contact with the eggplant, etc. Enclose sugar with coconut for purpose. And the salty and umami enhancement effect by contrasting with the moderate sweetness that saccharides have in combination contributes to shortening the pickling time of the eggplant after removing the sheet material (for the same purpose as saccharides in the present invention) In some cases, lactic acid bacteria may be added and enclosed with eggplant). Therefore, the saccharide used in the present invention is not limited to trehalose, and the inclusion of the saccharide or the like is not only for taste, but also for obtaining a complex effect including maintaining the freshness of the eggplant, and the packaging container according to the present invention. It is intended to give the user a new and great convenience in combination with the device of the aspect.

茄子の一種に「水茄子」(ミズナス)と呼ばれるものがあり、大阪府南部の泉州地方の特産品である(水茄子は呼称で、品種名は別に「みず茄」「紫水」など様々なものがある)。他の一般的な茄子に比べて皮や肉質とも柔かく、みずみずしく、代表的な食べ方は糠床による浅漬けである。特にヘタを取らずカットもしていない丸のまま漬けあがった浅漬けを、食べる直前にヘタをカットして、手で縦に裂いて食べる方法が地元では古来圧倒的に広く指示されている。包丁を使わないことに理論的根拠は無いが、確かに手で裂いた場合の白い果肉面の凹凸は、水茄子が元々持ったみずみずしさとも相まって、独特な食感をかもし出している。   There is a kind of eggplant called “Mizuyasu” (Mizunas), which is a special product of the Quanzhou area in the southern part of Osaka Prefecture (Mizuyoko is the name, and the variety name is “Mizu-don” and “Shisui”. Is). Compared to other common eggplants, the skin and flesh are softer and fresher. In particular, the local method has been overwhelmingly widely used in the past. The method is to squeeze the soaked pickles that have been picked up in a circle that has not been cut or cut into pieces before eating. There is no theoretical basis for not using a kitchen knife, but the irregularity of the white flesh surface when it is torn by hand, combined with the freshness that Minamata originally had, gives it a unique texture.

公表されたデータは無いものの、水茄子の浅漬け製品は冷蔵の宅配便の普及とも相まって特に贈答品を中心に市場が拡大しつつある。それは水茄子をカットしていない丸の果実のまま糠床とともに袋詰めし、これを宅配便にて当日出荷した場合、発送日の翌日もしくは翌々日に客先に到着すれば、到着日を含めて2〜3日が浅漬けとして最良の漬かり度合となることによる。水茄子の浅漬け製品の賞味期限は大抵の業者が漬け込み日から数えて7日目程度に設定しているが、実際には4日目を過ぎるあたりから漬かり過ぎで辛くなり、その場合には茄子を切り刻んで水洗いし、塩抜きした後に食べる方法を推奨しているのが実情である(図10を参照)。いずれにせよ浅漬けとして最良の味を楽しめるのは実質的に2日間程度に過ぎない。なおこの袋詰めの糠床による水茄子の浅漬け製品は、関西を中心にスーパーや百貨店でも店頭販売されつつある。   Although there are no published data, the market for Asahi pickled products from Mizushiko is expanding, especially for gifts, coupled with the spread of refrigerated courier services. If it is packed in a bag together with a cocoon with uncut round fruit, and it is shipped on the same day by courier, if it arrives at the customer the next day or two days after the shipping date, including the arrival date It is because 2-3 days is the best pickle degree as shallow pickle. The best-before date for pickled products from Mizuko is set to about 7 days from the date of pickling, but in reality, it will be too hot to pick up after the 4th day. In fact, it is recommended to eat the eggplant after chopping it, washing it with water, and removing salt (see FIG. 10). In any case, it is only about two days that you can enjoy the best taste as a soaked pickle. In addition, the water-soaked pickled products of this bag-packed paddle are being sold over-the-counter at supermarkets and department stores mainly in Kansai.

この水茄子は、従来は丸の果実のまま糠床とともに袋詰めした浅漬け製品が主流であったが、最近は果実をカットした後に液漬けして袋詰めした製品も普及しつつある。その製造方法は、前記の水茄子以外の一般的な茄子の袋詰め漬物製品と同様に、塩分による下漬け工程を経た茄子をカットした後に、より低塩濃度の漬液もしくは調味液に漬けなおして一緒にパック詰めしたものである。その賞味期限は製造後1〜2週間の何れかの日に設定される場合が多く、これは水茄子以外の一般的な茄子の袋詰め液漬け製品と同様である。これら製品は例外なく時間の経過とともに漬かりが深くなり、浅漬けと銘打ったことに矛盾を感じる製品も見受けられる。   Conventionally, the water pickled products were mainly pickled products that were packed in a bag with a cocoon bed in the form of a round fruit, but recently, products that have been pickled and then packed in bags after cutting the fruits are becoming widespread. The manufacturing method is similar to the above-mentioned general coconut bagging pickled products other than water coconut, after cutting the cocoon that has undergone the submerged step with salt, and then immersing it again in a lower salt concentration pickling solution or seasoning solution. Packed together. In many cases, the expiration date is set to any one of 1 to 2 weeks after the production, and this is the same as that of a general bagging and dipping product other than water eggplant. Without exception, these products become deeply pickled over time, and there are some products that feel contradictory to the fact that they are named as “soaked”.

また水茄子であるかどうかを問わず、浅漬けの状態を少しでも長く維持しようとする手段として、例えば、先に工場で浅漬けの程度まで漬け込みを済ませ、漬床や漬液を取り除いた状態で容器に封入して販売する方法や、あるいは漬床や漬液を同封して流通させる場合には、漬床や漬液の食塩濃度をかなり低く設定しておく方法などがある。しかしこれらは何れの場合においても食品の状態を安定させる目的での添加物の使用可能性を高め、また浅漬け本来の特色である素材の食感はほぼ例外なく失われてしまっている。   In addition, as a means to maintain the state of shallow soaking for as long as possible, regardless of whether it is water coconut, for example, the container is first soaked to the extent of shallow soaking at the factory and the soaking bed and soaking liquid are removed. There are a method of encapsulating and selling, or a method of setting the salt concentration of the pickled bed or pickled solution to be considerably low when the pickled bed or pickled solution is enclosed and distributed. However, in any of these cases, the possibility of using additives for the purpose of stabilizing the state of the food is increased, and the texture of the raw material, which is a characteristic feature of shallow soaking, has almost been lost.

糠床をはじめとする漬床を家庭で準備し、自身で茄子などを漬けて食べる場合には漬かり度合を調節できる。しかし手が汚れる、周りに臭いが漂う、漬床の管理が必要である、ことなどからどうしても敬遠されつつある。また、液体や粉末を水に溶いて使ういわゆる浅漬けの素が市販されており、家庭において簡単に液漬けの漬物を楽しむことが出来るようになっている。しかしこれらは例外なく主成分が塩で、塩分による浸透圧を利用してカットされた茄子などに急速に味付けを行っており、昔ながらの浅漬けの食感を十分に楽しめない。また贈答用として、生の水茄子に浅漬けの素を添えて送るのはあまり好まれないであろう。   You can adjust the degree of pickling when you prepare pickled beds such as cocoon beds at home and eat them with pickled eggplants yourself. However, it is inevitably refrained from the fact that hands get dirty, there is a smell around, and the management of pickled beds is necessary. In addition, so-called pickled elements that use liquids and powders dissolved in water are available on the market, so that you can easily enjoy pickled pickles at home. However, without exception, the main ingredient is salt, and seasoning is done quickly with eggplants cut using salt osmotic pressure, and the traditional texture of shallow pickles cannot be fully enjoyed. For gifts, it would be less preferred to send raw pickles with raw pickles.

本発明は、かかる問題に鑑みなされたものであり、茄子の漬物の漬かり度合を利用者が直接手を汚すことなく選択でき、従来品のように漬かり過ぎで慌てて食べる必要がなく、また特に素材の食感を併せ楽しむ茄子の浅漬け製品としての最良の賞味期限を生産者側も無理なく設定できる包装容器入り茄子の浅漬けを提供することを課題とする。   The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and the user can select the degree of pickling of the pickled eggplant without directly soiling his hands, and it is not necessary to boil and eat it too much like a conventional product. It is an object to provide a shallow pickled eggplant in a packaging container that allows the producer to set the best expiration date as a shallow pickled product that enjoys the texture of the ingredients.

なお前記の水茄子以外にも、新潟県長岡市周辺で栽培される「黒十全」(別名は梨茄子)や、山形県で栽培される「薄皮丸茄子」など浅漬けに適するとされる茄子が存在し、水茄子同様に袋詰めの浅漬け製品として販売されている。また複数の種苗会社から生食にも向く茄子の品種開発が報告されており、茄子の浅漬けとしての食べ方は今後も普及が予想される。適するか適さないかの違いはあるものの、すべての茄子は種類を問わず漬物とすることは可能であり、よって本発明は水茄子に限定されず、すべての種類の茄子を対象とするものである。   In addition to the above water coconuts, “Kurojuzen” (also known as pear lions) cultivated around Nagaoka City in Niigata Prefecture and “Hakumaru Mariko” cultivated in Yamagata Prefecture There is an eggplant, and it is sold as a lightly pickled product in a bag like the water eggplant. In addition, several seed companies have reported on the development of eggplant varieties suitable for raw food, and the way to eat eggplant as a pickled eggplant is expected to spread in the future. Although there is a difference between suitable and unsuitable, all eggplants can be pickled regardless of the type, so the present invention is not limited to water eggplants, but covers all kinds of eggplants. is there.

請求項1記載の発明による茄子の浅漬けは、漬床や漬液と茄子を封入した包装容器入り茄子の漬物製品において、漬床や漬液と茄子とが混合することなく隔離する手段として、茄子を内包した内包装体と、該内包装体を装填する漬床や漬液を充填した外容器を備え、次に漬床や漬液に直接手を触れることなく該隔離状態を解除して漬床や漬液と茄子を外容器内で混合させる手段として、前記内包装体の一側縁部が漬床や漬液あるいは外容器の外側に裸出するか、もしくは内包装体の開封部分に連なる線状体の端部が漬床や漬液あるいは外容器の外側に裸出し、さらに内包装体の中には単糖類、少糖類、多糖類、多糖類の加水分解物及び糖アルコールからなる群より選ばれる少なくとも1種の糖類を適量含有する水溶液を茄子とともに封入したことを特徴とする。   According to the first aspect of the present invention, the shallow pickled eggplant contains the eggplant as a means for isolating the pickled bed or the pickled solution and the eggplant in the packaging container containing the pickled solution and the eggplant without mixing the pickled bed or the pickled solution and the eggplant. An inner packaging body and an outer container filled with the pickling bed and pickling liquid loaded with the inner packaging body, and then the isolated state is released without directly touching the pickling bed or pickling liquid, and the pickling bed, pickling liquid and insulator are placed in the outer container. As a means for mixing inside, one end edge of the inner package is bare outside the pickled bed, pickled liquid or outer container, or the end of the linear body connected to the opened portion of the inner packed body is the pickled bed or pickled liquid Alternatively, it is bare on the outside of the outer container, and the inner package contains an appropriate amount of at least one saccharide selected from the group consisting of monosaccharides, oligosaccharides, polysaccharides, polysaccharide hydrolysates and sugar alcohols. The aqueous solution was enclosed with the eggplant And wherein the door.

本発明の包装容器入り茄子の浅漬けの主たる特徴は、まず漬床や漬液と茄子を非混合の、したがって茄子を塩分による漬込みは行わない鮮度を保った状態で流通させ、後にこれを入手した利用者が賞味期限内の自由な日に、食する時間を見計らって、糠床などで手を汚すことなく漬床等と茄子を混合させることにより初めて本漬け込みを開始させる点にある。そのため該利用者は、茄子の浅漬けとしての漬かり度合を手軽にかつ自在に選択できることとなる。   The main feature of the pickled eggplant in the packaging container according to the present invention is that the pickled bed or pickled solution and the eggplant are first unmixed, and therefore the eggplant is circulated in a state of maintaining the freshness without being soaked with salt, and the use obtained later It is the point that the person begins to pickle for the first time by mixing the pickled bed etc. and the eggplant without getting his hands dirty with the bedside, etc., in anticipation of eating time on a free day within the expiration date. Therefore, the user can easily and freely select the degree of pickling as a shallow pickled eggplant.

即ち上記構成により、茄子の浅漬けの利用者は、外容器の外側から同方向に裸出した内包装体をなす内包装材の一側縁部を掴み、該内包装材のみを外容器の外側へ引き抜くか、あるいは、内包装体の開封部分に連なる線状体の外容器の外側に裸出した端部を掴み、該線状体を引っぱることで外容器の中で内包装体を開封し、手を汚すことなく漬床又は漬液と茄子を混合して本漬け込みを開始させることができる。   That is, with the above-described configuration, the user of pickled eggplant grasps one side edge of the inner packaging material forming the inner packaging body bare in the same direction from the outside of the outer container, and only the inner packaging material is held in the outer container. Pull out to the outside, or grasp the end of the linear body that is connected to the opening of the inner package, and then pull the linear body to open the inner package in the outer container. Then, the pickling can be started by mixing the pickled bed or pickled liquid and the eggplant without making the hands dirty.

また流通時漬込み前の茄子の鮮度保持、変色の防止、茄子と接した状態で封入する溶液(水分子)そのものの安定化などとともに、前記隔離状態の解除後の漬込み時間の短縮のために、内包装体の中には単糖類、少糖類、多糖類、多糖類の加水分解物及び糖アルコールからなる群より選ばれる少なくとも1種の糖類を適量含有する水溶液を茄子とともに封入する構成となる。   In addition to maintaining the freshness of the coconut before being soaked during distribution, preventing discoloration, stabilizing the solution (water molecule) itself sealed in contact with the insulator, etc., in order to shorten the soaking time after releasing the isolation state, In the inner package, an aqueous solution containing an appropriate amount of at least one saccharide selected from the group consisting of monosaccharides, oligosaccharides, polysaccharides, polysaccharide hydrolysates and sugar alcohols is enclosed together with the insulator.

請求項2記載の発明による茄子の浅漬けは、上記構成に加えて、前記内包装体は袋状シート材をもってなし、該袋状シート材を茄子の一端から被せることにより茄子側包装面と、これを茄子のもう一方の端を覆うと共に折り返して漬床や漬液側包装面との2層として、漬床や漬液側包装面は茄子と直接接触せず、茄子側包装面は茄子との接触が離れる方向にめくられながら漬床や漬液側包装面に連続して引き出されるため、内包装体のうち袋状シート材のみを茄子との接触による抵抗を受けずに外容器より排出可能としたことを特徴とする。   In addition to the above-described structure, the shallow pickled eggplant according to the invention of claim 2 has the inner package body having a bag-like sheet material, and covers the bag-like sheet material from one end of the eggplant, Cover the other end of the insulator and fold it back to make two layers of the pickled bed and the pickled solution side packaging surface. The pickled bed and the pickled solution side packaging surface do not come in direct contact with the insulator, and the insulator side wrapped surface leaves contact with the insulator. Because it is continuously pulled out to the pickling bed or pickled liquid side packaging surface while being turned in the direction, only the bag-like sheet material of the inner package can be discharged from the outer container without receiving resistance due to contact with the insulator. And

茄子とシート材が接触した場合は、摩擦による抵抗でシート材が滑らなくなる。この点、茄子は数ある野菜や果物の中でも特に樹脂性シート材との相性が最も悪い。さらに浅漬けに適した水茄子のよう特に皮が薄く柔かい種類の茄子では、癒着しているが如くシート材はまったく滑らなくなる。これに対処すべく、摩擦を低減するために粉体類を介することは、内包装体の中に多少とも水分が存する本発明の場合には向かない。また油脂やワックス類であっても、茄子に余分な味や香りが移ったり、後の作業性が悪くなることで使用できない。いずれにしても、如何なる物質を水茄子と樹脂性のシート材の間に介しても、十分な滑りは得られない。上記構成による発明によれば、浅漬けの利用者は力を込める必要が無く、また手も汚さず、容易に内包装体のうち袋状シート材のみを外容器より排出させることができる。   When the insulator and the sheet material come into contact with each other, the sheet material does not slip due to frictional resistance. In this respect, eggplant has the worst compatibility with resinous sheet materials among many vegetables and fruits. Furthermore, in the case of a kind of eggplant that is particularly thin and soft, such as a water eggplant suitable for soaking, the sheet material does not slip at all as it adheres. In order to cope with this, the use of powders to reduce friction is not suitable in the case of the present invention in which some moisture is present in the inner package. Even oils and waxes cannot be used because extra taste and aroma are transferred to the eggplant, and workability later deteriorates. In any case, even if any substance is interposed between the water insulator and the resinous sheet material, sufficient sliding cannot be obtained. According to the invention with the above-described configuration, it is not necessary for the user of the soaking to put power, and the hands are not soiled, and only the bag-like sheet material of the inner package can be easily discharged from the outer container.

請求項3記載の発明による茄子の浅漬けは、上記で用いる袋状シート材が、底から10cm位までの範囲で前記茄子側包装面となる部分に、前記の糖類を含有する水溶液が透過する無数の穴を開けたものであることを特徴とする。   In the shallow pickling of the coconut according to the invention of claim 3, the aqueous solution containing the saccharide permeates the portion of the bag-like sheet material used above that becomes the insulator side packaging surface within a range of about 10 cm from the bottom. It is characterized by having innumerable holes.

上記構成により、袋状シート材を折り返して2層とした場合に、内包装体の中に封入する少・多糖類などの水溶液を茄子に触れさせることができる。また袋状シート材を引き抜く際に、この水溶液は前記の穴を通って外容器内の糠床等に混入するが、その分糠床等が活性化され、味もよくなり、好都合である。一方で、内包装体の中に細長い寒天などの固形物を封入した場合には、袋状シート材を引き抜く際に前記の穴から固形物はおおむね流出せず、寒天等は袋状シート材とともに外容器から排出される。   With the above configuration, when the bag-like sheet material is folded into two layers, an aqueous solution such as oligosaccharide or the like enclosed in the inner package can be brought into contact with the insulator. Further, when the bag-like sheet material is pulled out, this aqueous solution is mixed into the bed etc. in the outer container through the above-mentioned hole. On the other hand, when a solid material such as elongated agar is enclosed in the inner package, the solid material generally does not flow out of the hole when the bag-shaped sheet material is pulled out, and the agar and the like together with the bag-shaped sheet material. It is discharged from the outer container.

請求項4記載の発明による茄子の浅漬けは、請求項1の構成において、前記内包装体の中には茄子に替えて漬床や漬液を充填して内包し、該内包装体とともに茄子を装填する外容器を備え、さらに外容器の中には単糖類、少糖類、多糖類、多糖類の加水分解物及び糖アルコールからなる群より選ばれる少なくとも1種の糖類を適量含有する水溶液を茄子とともに封入したことを特徴とする。   According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, the shallow pickled eggplant according to the invention of the first aspect is filled with a pickled bed or a pickled solution instead of the insulator in the inner package, and is loaded with the eggplant together with the inner package. And an aqueous solution containing an appropriate amount of at least one saccharide selected from the group consisting of monosaccharides, oligosaccharides, polysaccharides, polysaccharide hydrolysates and sugar alcohols It is characterized by being enclosed.

請求項1〜3では茄子を内包した内包装体と、該内包装体を装填する漬床や漬液を充填した外容器を備えたのに対して、請求項4ではこれとは逆に漬床や漬液を充填した内包装体と、該内包装体とともに茄子を装填する外容器を備える構成となる。   Whereas in claims 1 to 3, an inner package containing an insulator and an outer container filled with a dipping bed or a dipping solution loaded with the inner package are provided. And an outer container in which an insulator is loaded together with the inner package.

請求項5記載の発明による茄子の浅漬けは、漬床や漬液と茄子とが混合されない段階おいて、前記の茄子を内包した内包装体の中か(請求項1〜3に対応)、あるいは内包装体に漬床や漬液が充填されている場合はこれを装填した外容器内に(請求項1及び4に対応)、いずれの場合においても漬床や漬液と隔離された茄子を内包しその茄子と接する部分に封入する前記水溶液が、トレハロース、オリゴ糖類、デキストリン、キトサン、アガロース例えば寒天から選択される1種以上の適量を含んだ水溶液であることを特徴とする。   The shallow pickling of the coconut according to the invention according to claim 5 is in the inner package body (corresponding to claims 1 to 3) or inside the cocoon containing the above coconut at a stage where the pickled bed or the pickled liquid and the eggplant are not mixed. If the package is filled with pickles or pickles, in an outer container filled with the pickles (corresponding to claims 1 and 4), in any case, the pickles that are isolated from the pickles or pickles are contained. The aqueous solution sealed in the contacted portion is an aqueous solution containing one or more appropriate amounts selected from trehalose, oligosaccharides, dextrin, chitosan, agarose such as agar.

本発明に用いる茄子は、一般的な漬物のように下処理工程における塩分による下漬けを原則行わず、また外容器内に装填された後も漬床や漬液と茄子との隔離状態を解除するまでは茄子の本格的な漬込みは行われず、少なくとも従来の袋入り漬物よりはそれぞれの包装体の中の茄子が生鮮品に近い状態で流通する。このため茄子の乾燥や酸化による劣化が内包装体の中などで早まらないよう鮮度保持をはかる必要がある。上記構成はこのような課題に対応したものである。   The eggplant used in the present invention is not subjected to salting in the pretreatment step as in general pickles, and until the pickled bed or pickled liquid and eggplant are released from the isolated state even after being loaded in the outer container. There is no full-fledged pickling of eggplant, and at least the eggplant in each package circulates in a state closer to fresh products than conventional pickled pickles. For this reason, it is necessary to maintain the freshness so that deterioration due to drying or oxidation of the insulator does not accelerate in the inner package. The above configuration addresses such a problem.

次に利用者が前記のそれぞれの隔離状態を解除することで本漬け込みを開始させたとしても、それから食べられるまでの時間が長すぎては商品価値が下がる。特に外容器が小さな袋などの場合、内包装体と外容器の間などに封入される糠床等の容量が限られることや、冷蔵庫内では発酵食品たる糠床の活性が低く、浅漬けの場合であっても従来製品と同様に2日以上を要する場合がある。この課題に対しては、上記で用いたトレハロースなど糖類の併せ持つ適度な甘味との対比による塩味/旨味の増強効果、糖類の水溶液が混入することによる糠床等の活性化などが、結果として前記袋状シート材を引き抜いた後などの茄子の漬け込み時間の短縮に寄与する。   Next, even if the user starts the pickle by releasing each of the above-mentioned isolated states, the product value is lowered if the time until it can be eaten is too long. In particular, when the outer container is a small bag, the capacity of the bed etc. enclosed between the inner package and the outer container is limited, and the activity of the bed as a fermented food is low in the refrigerator. Even in some cases, it may take more than two days, just like conventional products. As a result of this problem, the salty / umami enhancement effect by contrasting with the moderate sweetness of the saccharides such as trehalose used above, the activation of the cocoon bed etc. by mixing the aqueous solution of saccharides, etc. Contributes to shortening the pickling time of the eggplant after pulling out the bag-like sheet material.

請求項6記載の発明による茄子の浅漬けは、前記の茄子に接して封入する水溶液に糖類とともに乳酸菌の適量を加えたものであることを特徴とする。   According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, the shallow pickling of the coconut is characterized by adding an appropriate amount of lactic acid bacteria together with the saccharide to the aqueous solution sealed in contact with the coconut.

糖類などと同様の目的、すなわち、流通時漬込み前の水茄子の鮮度保持や、前記隔離状態を解除して漬込みを開始した後に浅漬けとして仕上がるまでの時間短縮などのために、乳酸菌の適量を茄子に接して封入する構成とするものである。   For the same purpose as sugars, etc., to maintain the freshness of water eggplant before soaking at the time of distribution, or to shorten the time until it is finished as shallow soaking after releasing the isolation state and starting soaking, the appropriate amount of lactic acid bacteria is reduced The structure is to be sealed in contact with the insulator.

請求項7記載の発明による茄子の浅漬けは、茄子はヘタを取らずカットもしていない丸のままの果実であって、塩分による手揉みや下漬けなどの前処理は行わず、漬床や漬液の塩分濃度は2〜14%で、前記隔離状態を解除して漬床や漬液と茄子を混合させた時を基点に、浅漬けとして最適な味になるまでの漬け込み所要時間が5〜12℃の冷蔵庫内放置下で30分以上6時間以内であること、のように構成される。   The shallow pickled eggplant according to the invention of claim 7 is a round fruit that is not cut nor cut, and is not subjected to pre-treatment such as hand-gripping with salt or under-pickling. The salt concentration is 2-14%, and the required time for soaking is 5-12 ° C until the optimum taste is achieved as a shallow soaking, based on the time when the isolated state is released and the pickled bed, pickled liquid and eggplant are mixed. It is configured such that it is not less than 30 minutes and not more than 6 hours in the refrigerator.

本発明により、他の一般的な茄子に比べて皮が薄く乾燥に弱いなど取り扱いが難しい水茄子を用いて、水茄子はヘタを取らずカットも一切していない丸のままの果実であって、塩分を用いた下漬けは原則行わず、本発明による製造後少なくとも3週間を経過する日までの間であれば、この間何時でも内包装体のうち袋状シート材のみを外容器の外側に引き抜くなどの方法により漬床等と茄子の隔離状態を解除して両者を混合させ、冷蔵庫内で30分〜6時間放置して漬け込みを行えば、最適な味、香り、そしてサクサクとした食感なども十分持ち併せた水茄子の浅漬けを例外なく食することができる。なおシート材を引き抜く際などに、手は汚れず、ほとんど力は必要なく、誰でも容易に漬け込みを開始できる。   According to the present invention, using a water eggplant that is difficult to handle because it is thin and weak to dryness compared to other common eggplants, the water eggplant is a rounded fruit that has not been cut or cut at all. In general, do not soak with salt, but only at least 3 weeks after the production according to the present invention until only the bag-like sheet material of the inner package is outside the outer container at any time during this period. Remove the pickled bed and coconuts by separating them, mix them, leave them in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 6 hours, and pickle them for optimal taste, aroma, and crispy texture You can eat without exception the water pickles that you have enough. In addition, when pulling out the sheet material, hands are not soiled, almost no force is required, and anyone can easily start soaking.

この結果、製造者も製造後3週間のうちで余裕をもって賞味期限を設定できる。従来の袋入り水茄子の浅漬け製品が、実際に浅漬けとして最良の味を楽しめるのが2〜3日に限られるにもかかわらず、これまでほとんどの製品において賞味期限が1週間、あるいは時にそれ以上に設定されているといった問題点が本発明により解消できる。(図10を参照)   As a result, the manufacturer can also set the expiration date with a margin within 3 weeks after manufacture. Despite the fact that the traditional soaked marinades in a bag are actually only 2 to 3 days in time to enjoy the best taste as a soak, most products have a shelf life of 1 week or sometimes Problems such as setting more than that can be solved by the present invention. (See Figure 10)

また丸のままの果実であって、塩分を用いた下漬けを原則行わない場合、漬床等と茄子とが混合されない段階おいて、内包装体の中に除菌洗浄後の茄子のみ封入した場合の茄子の鮮度保持期間がおおよそ2週間であるのに対し(この場合、2週間を超えて3週間を経過するまでの間に、10サンプルあたり1〜2例の割合で、茄子の果実に褐変の始まるのが確認された。なお後掲の表1はカットした茄子での観察であるので、これには該当しない)、トレハロース、オリゴ糖類、デキストリン、キトサン、アガロース例えば寒天などの群から選択される1種以上の適量を含んだ水溶液、あるいはこれに乳酸菌を加えた水溶液を茄子を取り囲み接するよう封入した場合には、少なくとも3週間は例外なく鮮度の維持されることが確認された。   In addition, when the fruit is still round and is not pickled with salt, in principle, when the pickled bed etc. and the eggplant are not mixed, only the eggplant after sterilization washing is enclosed in the inner package. The freshness retention period of the eggplant is approximately 2 weeks (in this case, 1 to 2 cases per 10 samples during the period from 2 weeks to 3 weeks) It should be noted that Table 1 below is not observed because Table 1 is an observation with a cut eggplant), and selected from the group of trehalose, oligosaccharides, dextrin, chitosan, agarose such as agar. It was confirmed that the freshness was maintained without exception for at least 3 weeks when an aqueous solution containing one or more appropriate amounts or an aqueous solution containing lactic acid bacteria added thereto was enclosed so as to surround and touch the insulator.

トレハロース、デキストリン、キトサン及び乳酸菌は、すでに幾通りかの袋入り漬物製品に利用されている。トレハロースの保湿効果、デキストリンの抗酸化作用、キトサンの抗菌性や茄子の変色防止効果、乳酸菌の腐敗物質に対する抗菌性などは公知のものである。またオリゴ糖類、寒天なども主に保湿効果を目的に使用する。茄子の鮮度保持にこれら各々のいかなる効能が直接働きかけているかについては今後の解明が必要だが、少なくとも茄子の表面に皮膜を作って酸化や過乾燥と変色などを防止していることや、溶液(水分子)そのものの安定化などが寄与していることは間違いない。   Trehalose, dextrin, chitosan and lactic acid bacteria are already used in several types of bagged pickles. The moisturizing effect of trehalose, the antioxidative effect of dextrin, the antibacterial effect of chitosan and the anti-discoloration effect of coconut, the antibacterial activity against rot of lactic acid bacteria are well known. Oligosaccharides and agar are also used mainly for the purpose of moisturizing effect. It is necessary to elucidate in the future what kind of each of these effects directly affects the maintenance of the freshness of the eggplant, but at least the film is formed on the surface of the insulator to prevent oxidation, overdrying and discoloration, There is no doubt that the stabilization of the water molecule itself contributes.

上記のうち寒天はペクチンやマンナンなど他の植物性繊維を用いてもよい。またこの寒天の役割は、不織布などの吸水体によっても代替させることができる。寒天は内包装体の中の茄子を上から覆うように封入する。これは丸のままの茄子の場合には、ヘタの茎をカットした部分からの水分蒸散が最も多いので、これを防ぐためである。不織布などの吸水体を用いた場合には、吸水体は茄子のこの部分を上から覆うとともに、その裾部分がトレハロース等の水溶液に浸るように配置される。なお請求項1〜3の構成によって、この不織布は寒天と同様に、漬込み開始時には袋状シート材とともに外容器から排出される。   Among the above, agar may use other plant fibers such as pectin and mannan. The role of the agar can be replaced by a water absorbent such as a nonwoven fabric. Agar is sealed so that the eggplant in the inner package is covered from above. This is because in the case of a round coconut tree, the most transpiration of water from the cut part of the stem is the most, and this is to prevent this. When a water absorbent body such as a non-woven fabric is used, the water absorbent body is disposed so that this portion of the insulator is covered from above and its skirt portion is immersed in an aqueous solution such as trehalose. In addition, by the structure of Claims 1-3, this nonwoven fabric is discharged | emitted from an outer container with a bag-like sheet material at the time of a pickling start similarly to agar.

従来の袋入り水茄子の浅漬け製品のうち、糠漬けであって、水茄子はカットされていない丸のままの場合には、糠床の量が限られことや、冷蔵庫内では発酵食品たる糠床の活性が低いことなどの理由から、適度な漬け具合となるのに少なくとも2日間を要した(前述の通り、一方で4日目過ぎあたりからは漬かり過ぎてしまう)。本発明によれば、内包装体等の中に主に前記の少・多糖類などを茄子と接する様に封入することで、塩分による下漬け処理を原則経ていないにもかかわらず、前記袋状シート材を引き抜く方法等により漬床や漬液と水茄子を混合させた後の漬け込み時間が30分〜6時間で済むことが例外なく確認できた。なお、その際の漬床等の塩分濃度は2〜14%から選択される一定の濃度で、次第に濃くするなどの操作は一切行わない。   Of the traditional pickled coconuts in a bag, if the cocoon is pickled and the coconut leaves remain uncut, the amount of cocoon bed is limited, or the fermented food in the refrigerator. It took at least 2 days to get a proper soaking condition because of low activity of the floor (as mentioned above, on the other hand, too much soaking after around the 4th day). According to the present invention, by encapsulating the oligosaccharide or the like mainly in an inner package or the like so as to come into contact with the eggplant, the bag-like shape is not subjected to the salting treatment in principle. It was confirmed without exception that the soaking time after mixing the soaking bed or the soaking liquid and the water coconut by the method of pulling out the sheet material is 30 minutes to 6 hours. At that time, the salt concentration of the pickled bed or the like is a constant concentration selected from 2 to 14%, and no operation such as gradually increasing the concentration is performed.

上記のうち、冷蔵庫の温度は5〜12℃がよく、より好ましくは8〜10℃である。もともと高温地域の作物である茄子は10℃位での保存が適し、5℃未満では急速に鮮度が落ちる。また8℃未満では糠床の活性が低く漬かりにくい。一方10℃を大きく越えると冷蔵庫内の他の生鮮保存品に影響が及ぶ可能性がある。したがって一般的に8〜10℃位の設定であることの多い野菜室での保管・漬け込みが好適である。   Among the above, the temperature of the refrigerator is preferably 5 to 12 ° C, more preferably 8 to 10 ° C. Eggplant, which is originally a crop in a high-temperature region, is suitable for storage at about 10 ° C, and its freshness rapidly drops below 5 ° C. Moreover, if it is less than 8 degreeC, the activity of a bed is low and it is hard to soak. On the other hand, if the temperature exceeds 10 ° C., it may affect other perishables in the refrigerator. Therefore, storage and soaking in a vegetable room, which is often set at about 8 to 10 ° C., is suitable.

上記のうち、漬け込み時間は30分〜6時間だが、糠床の場合には、より好ましくは2〜4時間漬けたものが最も美味である。液漬けの場合には、より好ましくは1〜3時間漬けたものが最も美味である。このように本発明品が短時間で美味しく漬け上がるのは、前記袋状シート材を引き抜いた後等において、茄子の表皮から糠床や漬液が浸透圧の働きにより滲みこむ際に、トレハロースやデキストリンなどの糖類の持つ適度な甘味との対比による塩味や旨味の増強効果が働いているためと考えられる。また糖類の水溶液が混入することによる糠床等の活性化が、結果として漬け込み時間の短縮に寄与する(糠床は適度に柔らかい方が漬物が漬かり易く、また糠床に生息する乳酸菌は糖類により活性化する)。   Among the above, the soaking time is 30 minutes to 6 hours, but in the case of a cocoon bed, the one soaked for 2 to 4 hours is most delicious. In the case of soaking, it is most preferable that it is soaked for 1 to 3 hours. As described above, the product of the present invention is soaked deliciously in a short period of time, such as when trehalose or dextrin is extracted when the cocoon bed or the pickled solution soaks from the skin of the eggplant by the action of osmotic pressure after the bag-like sheet material is pulled out. This is thought to be due to the salty and umami enhancement effect due to the moderate sweetness of saccharides. In addition, the activation of the bed and so on by mixing the aqueous solution of saccharide contributes to shortening the pickling time (the bed is moderately soft and easy to pickle, and the lactic acid bacteria that inhabit the bed are saccharides. Activate).

内包装体の中に糖類とともに乳酸菌を加える場合には、この乳酸菌は糠床等と混合する以前においてはトレハロース等の糖類を養分として生息できる。また前記袋状シート材を引き抜き糠床等と混合した後は、前記乳酸菌は糠床に元から生息する乳酸菌と合わさることでより活性化されることになる。そしてこの活性化された乳酸菌の働きにより、茄子の漬かりがより早くなり、またより奥深い味に仕上がることが確認できた。   When lactic acid bacteria are added to the inner package together with saccharides, the lactic acid bacteria can inhabit saccharides such as trehalose as nutrients before being mixed with the bed. Moreover, after the said bag-shaped sheet material is pulled out and mixed with a cocoon bed etc., the said lactic acid bacteria will become more activated by combining with the lactic acid bacteria which originally inhabit the cocoon bed. It was confirmed that the activated lactic acid bacteria helped the eggplant to be pickled faster and finished in a deeper taste.

上記のうち、糠床などの塩分濃度は2〜14%から選択されるが、より好ましくは2〜8%である。2%未満では糠床が痛む(漬液の場合はこの限りでない)。8%を超えると糠床の中に初めから含まれる乳酸菌の生息数の減少はもとより、内包装体などの中に封入されて前記袋状シート材を引き抜いた後に混合する乳酸菌の生息増加数も抑制され、漬かりや食味に良くない影響を与える場合がある。   Among the above, the salinity concentration of the bed is selected from 2 to 14%, more preferably 2 to 8%. If it is less than 2%, the bed is damaged (this is not the case with pickles). If it exceeds 8%, not only will the number of lactic acid bacteria contained in the bed be reduced from the beginning, but also the number of lactic acid bacteria that will be mixed after being enclosed in an inner package and withdrawing the bag-like sheet material will also increase. Suppressed and may have a negative impact on pickles and taste.

また前記内包装体などの中に茄子を取り囲み接するよう封入した糖類の水溶液は、例えば糖類がトレハロースの場合には3〜15%の濃度が適当で、茄子の鮮度保持上からより好ましくは7〜15%で、さらに茄子の食味上からの観点を加えると7〜13%の濃度がより好ましい。13%を超えるとやや、15%を超えると強く、トレハロースの本来持つ甘味が水茄子に移りすぎてしまう。一方3%未満では鮮度保持の効果が認められなかった。   In addition, the aqueous solution of the saccharide enclosed so as to surround and contact the inner package in the inner package or the like has an appropriate concentration of 3 to 15% when the saccharide is trehalose, and is more preferably 7 to 7 in view of maintaining the freshness of the coconut. When the viewpoint from the viewpoint of the taste of the eggplant is further added at 15%, a concentration of 7 to 13% is more preferable. If it exceeds 13%, it will be strong if it exceeds 15%, and the inherent sweetness of trehalose will be transferred too much to Minamata. On the other hand, if it was less than 3%, the effect of maintaining freshness was not recognized.

以下、本発明を構成する事項について実験で説明する。   Hereinafter, the items constituting the present invention will be described by experiments.

[実験1]
<トレハロース水溶液の濃度が水茄子(カットあり)の状態に及ぼす影響>表1は、塩分による下漬けを行っていない新鮮なままの状態の水茄子を試品として準備し、これを透明の袋に濃度別のトレハロース水溶液とともに封入して冷蔵庫内保管し、3週の間目視観察を行った結果である。対照として、トレハロースを含めない飲用水とともに封入したものとも比較を行った。なお、本発明では原則として水茄子はヘタを取らずカットも一切行わない丸のままの新鮮な果実を用いるが、当検証では観察し易いように水茄子の丸い方を縦横に約4分の1カットし、果実の中の状態が袋の外から目視できるようにした。
[Experiment 1]
<Effect of the concentration of trehalose aqueous solution on the state of water eggplant (with cut)> Table 1 shows a fresh water eggplant that has not been submerged with salt as a sample, and this is a transparent bag. It is the result of having been enclosed with the trehalose aqueous solution according to density | concentration, storing in a refrigerator, and performing visual observation for 3 weeks. As a control, a comparison was also made with one enclosed with drinking water not containing trehalose. In the present invention, as a general rule, water coconuts use fresh fruits that are not rounded and not cut at all. However, in this verification, the rounded water coconuts are vertically and horizontally for about 4 minutes for easy observation. One cut was made so that the state in the fruit was visible from the outside of the bag.

2. Meaning of symbols in the table.
◎ There is no discoloration in the pulp, and the solution is hardly turbid.
○ The flesh is not discolored, but some turbidity is observed in the solution.
ΔSlight discoloration (browning) begins in the pulp, and the solution begins to become turbid.
X There is a noticeable discoloration of the flesh (same as above), and suspended matter is observed in the solution.
3. In addition to the effect of taste of B, separately from this verification, using the trehalose solution of each concentration, the “Example of soaking in a container of water-filled eggplant in a packaging container” in the first embodiment described later was prepared (the trehalose aqueous solution was packed inside This is the result of comparing the taste of the water soaked in the solution mixed with the straw bed in the outer container after the elapse of the period. When trehalose is mainly sweetened with rice bran, it has the effect of creating a unique flavor.

実験1の結果は開始3日目から現れ始めた。トレハロースを含めない飲用水の方は果実のいわゆるアクが浮遊し始め、日が経つにつれて濁りは濃くなった。これに対してトレハロース水溶液の場合は6日目あたりから僅かながらのアクが浮遊し始めるものの、水溶液の濁りは3週間を通してはるかに飲用水の場合より薄かった。特に15%までは濃度が高いほどアクによる濁りは少なかった。これに対して3%未満の濃度では、飲用水の場合とあまり濁りに差がなかった。   The results of Experiment 1 began to appear on the third day. Drinking water that does not contain trehalose began to float the so-called ak of the fruit, and the turbidity increased with the passage of time. On the other hand, in the case of the trehalose aqueous solution, although a slight amount of aqua began to float around the 6th day, the turbidity of the aqueous solution was much thinner than that in the case of drinking water over 3 weeks. In particular, up to 15%, the higher the concentration, the less turbidity caused by aqua. On the other hand, at a concentration of less than 3%, the turbidity was not so different from that of drinking water.

なお上記検証では水茄子の一部をカットして目視ができるようにしたため、トレハロース等を含有した場合でも段階的にアクが生じたが、カットを一切行わない丸のままの果実の場合には、トレハロースの濃度が7〜15%水溶液の中において、少なくとも3週間は例外なく完全に茄子の鮮度が保持されるのが確認される。これは上記実験の結果からも、トレハロースの含有による効果と判明した。   In the above verification, a part of the water coconut was cut so that it could be seen, so even if it contained trehalose etc., agitation occurred stepwise, but in the case of a round fruit that does not cut at all It is confirmed that the freshness of the eggplant is completely maintained without exception for at least 3 weeks in an aqueous solution of trehalose having a concentration of 7 to 15%. This was also proved to be an effect of the inclusion of trehalose from the results of the above experiment.

前記トレハロースに替えてデキストリン類を用いてもよい。あるいはトレハロースとデキストリンを併用して、出来上がり濃度で3〜15%(より好ましくは7〜13%)の水溶液としてもよい。またこれらにキトサンの適量(1〜3%未満)を併用することも有効である。オリゴ糖類や、その他の多糖類、多糖類の加水分解物及び糖アルコール等を含有する溶液も、少なくとも茄子の表皮をコーティングして鮮度保持効果のあることが考えられる。またこれら糖類と乳酸菌との併用も好適である。乳酸菌は一部が漬物用の乳酸菌として市販されているものもあり、余分な雑菌発生に対する抑止効果は公知であるが、さらに当発明においては糖類や糠床等に元から生息する乳酸菌と混合して、漬込み時間の短縮や食味の向上効果が確認できる。   Dextrins may be used in place of the trehalose. Alternatively, trehalose and dextrin may be used in combination to form an aqueous solution having a final concentration of 3 to 15% (more preferably 7 to 13%). It is also effective to use an appropriate amount of chitosan (less than 1 to 3%) in combination with these. A solution containing oligosaccharides, other polysaccharides, polysaccharide hydrolysates, sugar alcohols, and the like is also considered to have a freshness-keeping effect by coating at least the cocoon skin. Moreover, combined use of these saccharides and lactic acid bacteria is also suitable. Some lactic acid bacteria are commercially available as lactic acid bacteria for pickles, and the deterrent effect against the generation of extra bacteria is known, but in the present invention, it is mixed with lactic acid bacteria that originally inhabit saccharides, cocoons, etc. The effect of shortening the pickling time and improving the taste can be confirmed.

[実験2]
<「糠床」漬けの経過時間別の食味比較>表2は糖類としてトレハロースを用いた濃度別の水溶液を準備し、個別容器に該水溶液とともに水茄子(丸のままでカットせず、塩分による下漬けを行わず、数度の洗浄を経た新鮮な果実)を封入し、2週間後に水茄子をトレハロース水溶液とともに塩分濃度の異なる糠床に漬込み、経過時間毎の食味比較を行った結果である。
[Experiment 2]
<Comparison of taste according to elapsed time of pickled "Kashiwadoko"> Table 2 prepares aqueous solutions by concentration using trehalose as a saccharide. The result is a comparison of the taste of each lapsed time after entrapping the freshly squeezed fruit that has been washed several times without pickling, and immersing the coconut egg into the cocoon bed with different salt concentrations together with the trehalose aqueous solution after 2 weeks. .

1. A is the salinity of the cocoon bed, and B is the concentration of an aqueous trehalose solution soaked in water for 2 weeks before being soaked in the cocoon.
2. C is the elapsed time after releasing the isolation means between the cocoon bed and water eggplant and starting the main pickling.
3. After each elapsed time, the taste of the mizuko was compared, but the sample that was eaten once was not re-dipped. Taste comparison was performed with a new round sample for each elapsed time.
4). As a control, raw water eggplants not soaked in an aqueous trehalose solution were also immersed in the bed for each salt concentration each time, and the results of a comparison of taste control were performed.
5. “Thin” in the table = Mainly salty and umami is not soaked until it can be said to be pickled.
“Sweet” = The sweetness of trehalose is superior to salty taste and is not delicious.
"Good" = salty and umami soaked so well that it can be called light pickled.
"Spicy" = salty taste is superior to umami, or salty and complex taste.
6). Taste comparison was basically performed by 5 persons, one of whom was prepared, and the salinity and sugar concentration of the specimens were performed under conditions concealed by each person.

前記の通り、当実験結果においても糠床の塩分濃度は2〜8%、トレハロース水溶液の濃度は7〜13%が好適で、漬け込み時間は30分〜6時間だが、糠床の場合には2〜4時間漬込むことがより好ましいことが判明した。またトレハロース水溶液に一定期間浸すことによって、その間の生の水茄子の鮮度保持だけでなく、糠床に漬込んだ後の浅漬けとしての仕上がりにトレハロースなどの糖類が寄与していることが判明した。なお対照としたトレハロース濃度0%の水茄子は、塩分濃度10%の糠床に6時間漬込んだ場合であっても食味は「薄い」の範囲内であった。こうしたトレハロースの効果は、前述の通り、糖類の持つ適度な甘味との対比による塩味や旨味の増強効果が働いているためと考えられる。また糖類の水溶液が混入することによる糠床等の活性化が、結果として漬け込み時間の短縮に寄与する(糠床は適度に柔らかい方が漬物が漬かり易く、また糠床に生息する乳酸菌は糖類により活性化する)。   As described above, in this experimental result, the salinity of the cocoon bed is preferably 2 to 8%, the concentration of the trehalose aqueous solution is 7-13%, and the soaking time is 30 minutes to 6 hours. It has been found that immersing for ~ 4 hours is more preferable. It was also found that by immersing in an aqueous solution of trehalose for a certain period of time, sugars such as trehalose contributed not only to maintaining the freshness of the raw eggplant during that period, but also to the finish as a shallow soak after submerging in the agate. As a control, the water coconut with a trehalose concentration of 0% had a taste within the range of “light” even when it was soaked for 6 hours in a salmon bed with a salt concentration of 10%. The effect of trehalose is considered to be due to the effect of enhancing the salty taste and umami taste by contrasting with the moderate sweetness of saccharides as described above. In addition, the activation of the bed and so on by mixing the aqueous solution of saccharide contributes to shortening the pickling time (the bed is moderately soft and easy to pickle, and the lactic acid bacteria that inhabit the bed are saccharides. Activate).

F “Umami”: Whether using lactic acid bacteria is delicious = “Better”. In this experiment, there was no example of “deteriorating” the taste using lactic acid bacteria.
8). Taste comparison was basically 5 persons, 1 of whom was prepared, and the salt concentration of the specimen and the presence or absence of addition of lactic acid bacteria were performed under conditions concealed by each person.
9. The lactic acid bacterium used was Lactobacillus salmon HS1 (FERM P-17617) developed by Ibaraki Prefectural Industrial Technology Center.

表3の通り、糠床の塩分濃度が4〜8%の範囲においては、乳酸菌を添加した溶液に浸しておいた水茄子の方が、その後に糠床への漬かりがより深く、また旨味も良好であることが判明した。塩分濃度が2%の糠床でも、時間の経過とともに乳酸菌を加えた方が味が良くなる。逆に、塩分濃度が10%の場合には、時間が経過しても差は認められない。こうしたことから、水茄子と同封する水溶液の糖類の元で乳酸菌が生息し、水茄子と糠床の隔離状態が解除され本漬込みが開始された後は、乳酸菌が漬込み時間の短縮や旨味の増強にも役立っていることが判明した。   As shown in Table 3, when the salinity of the cocoon bed is in the range of 4 to 8%, the water eggplant soaked in the solution to which lactic acid bacteria have been added has a deeper pickle in the cocoon bed, and the umami is also more delicious. It turned out to be good. Even if the salinity is 2%, the taste will be better if lactic acid bacteria are added over time. On the contrary, when the salinity concentration is 10%, no difference is recognized even if time passes. Because of this, lactic acid bacteria inhabit the saccharides in the aqueous solution enclosed with coconut coconut, and after the isolation of water coconut and cocoon bed is released and the main pickling is started, the lactic acid bacterium shortens the immersing time and enhances the taste It was also found useful.

上記の結果は、糖類の水溶液に添加する乳酸菌が、後に糠床に元から生息する乳酸菌と合わさることでより活性化されるためである。活性化された乳酸菌の働きが、茄子の漬かりに相乗効果をもたらす。なお前記の通り、糠床の塩分濃度は2〜14%から選択されるが、より好ましくは2〜8%である。2%未満では糠床が痛む(漬液の場合はこの限りでない)。8%を超えると糠床の中に初めから含まれる乳酸菌の生息数の減少はもとより、茄子の漬込み後にこれと混合する糖類溶液中の乳酸菌の生息増加数も抑制され、漬かりや食味に良くない影響を与える場合がある。   The above result is because the lactic acid bacteria added to the aqueous solution of saccharides are more activated when combined with the lactic acid bacteria that originally inhabit the bed. The action of activated lactic acid bacteria has a synergistic effect on pickled eggplant. As described above, the salinity of the dredged bed is selected from 2 to 14%, more preferably 2 to 8%. If it is less than 2%, the bed is damaged (this is not the case with pickles). If it exceeds 8%, the number of lactic acid bacteria contained in the cocoon bed will be reduced from the beginning, as well as the increase in the number of lactic acid bacteria in the saccharide solution mixed with it after pickling eggplant will be suppressed, which is not good for pickling and taste. May have an effect.

茄子と同封する乳酸菌は発酵過程で膨張しないホモ発酵型で、比較的低温の条件下で強いもの(前記の通り本発明品は5〜12℃、より好ましくは8〜10℃の冷蔵庫内で保管される)、さらに一定範囲での酸に強いものが好適であり(極度に酸生成能の強い種は、Phが低くなり過ぎ、後発酵をおこし、食味が悪くなる)、実験3ではこれに適合するものとしてラクトバチルス・サケHS1(FERM P−17617)を使用した。   The lactic acid bacteria enclosed with the eggplant is a homofermentation type that does not expand during the fermentation process and is strong under relatively low temperature conditions (as described above, the product of the present invention is stored in a refrigerator at 5 to 12 ° C, more preferably 8 to 10 ° C. In addition, those that are resistant to acid in a certain range are suitable (species with extremely strong acid-producing ability have low Ph, cause post-fermentation, and poor taste). Lactobacillus salmon HS1 (FERM P-17617) was used as a fit.

ホモ発酵型ではこの他、ラクトバチルス属の中の他のホモ発酵型乳酸菌、エンテロコッカス・フェカリスや同フェシウムなどのエンテロコッカス属乳酸菌、ペディオコッカス・ペントサセウスなどのペディオコッカス属乳酸菌等があげられる。一般的に酸に強い性質を有するホモ発酵型の有胞子型乳酸菌の群も本漬込み後の時間短縮には有効だが、茄子の鮮度保持の観点からは酸性に傾き過ぎるので、使用する場合の量は少なめに調整される。   In addition to this, other homofermentative lactic acid bacteria in the genus Lactobacillus, Enterococcus lactic acid bacteria such as Enterococcus faecalis and Fecesium, and Pediococcus lactic acid bacteria such as Pediococcus pentosaceus and the like can be mentioned. Generally, a group of homofermented spore-type lactic acid bacteria having acid-resistant properties is also effective for shortening the time after the main pickling, but from the viewpoint of maintaining the freshness of the eggplant, it is too acidic, so the amount to use Is adjusted slightly.

ヘテロ発酵型は炭酸ガスを作り膨張するため包装容器入りの本発明には基本的に向かず、又エタノールを副生するため食味の悪くなる場合がある。しかしヘテロ発酵型にも各々の特徴があり、あえて使用する場合にはごく少量を単独で用いるか、あるいはごく少量をホモ発酵菌と併用するなどして使用される。この場合の乳酸菌として、例えばラクトバチルス・ブレビス・サブスビーシス・コアギュランス(通称ラブレ菌)や、ビフィドバクテリウム属(通称ビフィズス菌)でもビフィドバクテリウム・ロンガムなどが挙げられる。   The heterofermentation type produces carbon dioxide and expands, so that it is not basically suitable for the present invention in a packaging container, and it may be poor in taste because ethanol is by-produced. However, the heterofermentation type has its own characteristics. When it is used, a very small amount is used alone, or a very small amount is used in combination with a homofermenting bacterium. Examples of lactic acid bacteria in this case include Lactobacillus brevis subsbysis coagulans (commonly called Rabre bacteria) and Bifidobacterium genus (commonly called Bifidobacterium) and Bifidobacterium longum.

前記の通り、当実験結果においても漬液の塩分濃度は2〜8%、トレハロースなどの水溶液の濃度は7〜13%が好適で、漬け込み時間は30分〜6時間だが、液漬けの場合には1〜3時間漬込むことがより好ましいことが判明した。またトレハロース等の水溶液に一定期間浸すことによって、その間の生の水茄子の鮮度保持だけでなく、漬液に漬込んだ後の浅漬けとしての仕上がりにトレハロースなどの糖類が寄与していることが判明した。なお対照としたトレハロース等の水溶液に浸していない水茄子の場合は、例えば塩分濃度6%の漬液に漬込んだ場合においても、4時間までは「薄い」、5時間経過ではじめて「良好」の範囲に達する。こうしたトレハロースやデキストリンなど糖類の効果は、前述の通り、糖類の持つ適度な甘味との対比による塩味や旨味の増強効果が働いているためと考えられる。   As described above, the salt concentration of the pickled solution is preferably 2 to 8%, and the concentration of the aqueous solution such as trehalose is 7 to 13%, and the pickling time is 30 minutes to 6 hours. It has been found that it is more preferable to immerse for 1 to 3 hours. It was also found that by immersing in an aqueous solution such as trehalose for a certain period of time, sugars such as trehalose contributed not only to maintaining the freshness of the raw water eggplant during that period, but also to the finish as a shallow pickle after soaking in the pickling solution. . In the case of water eggplants not soaked in an aqueous solution such as trehalose as a control, for example, even when soaked in a pickled solution with a salt concentration of 6%, the range is “thin” for up to 4 hours and “good” only after 5 hours. To reach. The effects of sugars such as trehalose and dextrin are considered to be due to the salty and umami enhancing effect by contrast with the moderate sweetness of sugars as described above.

糠床とは異なり、漬液の場合にはその中にもともと乳酸菌は生息せず又これを含まない。にもかかわらず、漬液の塩分濃度は2〜14%から選択されるが、より好ましくは2〜8%であるとしたのは、茄子と漬液の隔離状態を解除して本漬込みを開始した後に、漬液と混合するトレハロース等の糖類溶液中の乳酸菌の生息増加数が塩分濃度8%超の環境下では抑制され、漬かりや食味に良くない影響を与える場合があるからである。なお液漬けの場合であっても、漬液の塩分濃度を低くして(例えば前記実験3で用いた乳酸菌の場合は8%以下)これに乳酸菌を含めておくことは可能で、その場合には実験3と同様に、漬込み後に双方の乳酸菌が合わさることで活性化し、茄子の漬かりに相乗効果をもたらす。なお、2%未満の塩分濃度では糠床が痛むが、漬液の場合はこの限りでない。   Unlike dredged beds, in the case of pickles, lactic acid bacteria originally do not inhabit them and do not contain them. Nevertheless, the salt concentration of the pickled solution is selected from 2 to 14%, but more preferably 2 to 8%, after releasing the isolated state of the eggplant and pickled solution and starting the main pickling This is because the increase in the number of lactic acid bacteria in the sugar solution such as trehalose mixed with the pickled solution is suppressed in an environment having a salinity concentration of more than 8%, which may adversely affect the pickling and taste. Even in the case of soaking, it is possible to reduce the salt concentration of the soaking solution (for example, 8% or less in the case of the lactic acid bacterium used in Experiment 3), and to include lactic acid bacteria in this case. Similar to Experiment 3, both lactic acid bacteria are combined after soaking, and are activated to bring a synergistic effect to the pickling of the eggplant. In addition, the salinity hurts at a salt concentration of less than 2%, but this is not the case with pickles.

以下、本発明を「包装容器入り水茄子の浅漬け」による具体例に基づいて詳細に説明する。   Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail on the basis of a specific example of “soaked water coconut in a packaging container”.

図1〜図7に示すのは本発明の「第1実施例」で、ヘタを取らずカットもしていない丸の果実のままの「包装容器入り水茄子の糠床による浅漬け」であって、請求項4以外のすべての請求項に対応する。ちなみに図7は、当発明による製品が流通した後に、利用者のもとで水茄子と糠床が混合されて漬け込みが開始された際の透視図だが、この段階において従来の一般的な袋入り水茄子の浅漬け製品と同じ様態になっている。   FIG. 1 to FIG. 7 show the “first embodiment” of the present invention, which is “shallow pickling with a cocoon of water-filled eggplant in a packaging container” as a round fruit that has not been cut or cut. This corresponds to all claims other than claim 4. By the way, Fig. 7 is a perspective view of the mixture of water eggplant and cocoon bed under the user after the product according to the present invention is distributed. It is in the same manner as Asako pickles.

図1は同浅漬け製品を側面から見た透視図である。第1実施例における糠床2aと水茄子1の隔離手段としての内包装体3は袋状シート材3aをもってなし、請求項2記載の発明にあるよう該袋状シート材3aは2層に折り返されて(符号4)水茄子を包んだ内包装体3となり、この内包装体が糠床2aの充填された外容器5aに装填され、ただし内包装体の一側縁部3bは外容器の外側に裸出した構造を持つものである。   FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the shallow pickled product as seen from the side. The inner wrapping body 3 as a means for separating the cocoon bed 2a and the water insulator 1 in the first embodiment has a bag-like sheet material 3a, and the bag-like sheet material 3a is folded into two layers as in the invention of claim 2. (Reference numeral 4) becomes an inner package 3 wrapped with water insulator, and this inner package is loaded into the outer container 5a filled with the cocoon bed 2a, except that one side edge 3b of the inner package is the outer container It has a bare structure on the outside.

まず使用する水茄子1は、本発明のいずれの実施例においても、出来るだけ新鮮で色艶が良く、キズの無いものを準備し、第1次の洗浄を行う(オゾン水もしくは電解次亜水の使用が好ましい)。洗浄された水茄子は、内包装する前にミョウバンによるナス紺(茄子の果皮に含まれる天然の色素で、「ナスニン」(アントシアニン系色素)というポリフェノールの一種)の定着作業を行う。ただし、一般の水茄子の漬物の場合に行われるこの下処理段階での塩揉みあるいは塩漬け(荒漬け)は、第1実施例においては一切行わない。   First of all, the water insulator 1 to be used is prepared as freshly as possible with good gloss and no scratches in any of the embodiments of the present invention, and the first cleaning is performed (ozone water or electrolytic hypochlorite). Is preferred). The washed eggplant is fixed with alum eggplant (a natural pigment contained in the palm skin of the eggplant, a kind of polyphenol called “nasinine” (anthocyanin pigment)) before being packaged. However, in the first embodiment, salt simmering or salting (rough pickling) at this pretreatment stage, which is performed in the case of general pickled coconuts, is not performed in the first embodiment.

前記のナス紺の定着作業は、本発明以外の一般的な水茄子の漬物では、粒塩にミョウバン(硫酸アルミニウムカリウム)を適量加えたものを漬け塩として、この漬け塩で茄子を揉むか、あるいは濃い塩分濃度のミョウバンを加えた水溶液に茄子を下漬けする。対して本実施例ではこの際に塩分を一切用いずミョウバンのみで処理し、ナス紺をむら無く定着させる。またこのミョウバンには古来より漬物の分野において殺菌効果や水の浄化作用があるとされており、こうした面からも好都合である。ただし、余分なミョウバンが表皮に残ると味にやや苦味が残るので、ミョウバンの使用量は水茄子の重量比で0.2〜0.4%程度にとどめ、約30分間ほど馴染ませた後に清潔な水で洗い流し、水分を取っておく(なお、ここでの第2次洗浄も、前記の第1次と同様にオゾン水もしくは電解次亜水の使用が好ましい)。   As for the above-mentioned eggplant rice bran fixing work, in general pickled eggplants other than the present invention, an appropriate amount of alum (potassium aluminum sulfate) added to the grain salt is used as a pickled salt, and the pickled salt is used to pour the eggplant. Alternatively, dip the eggplant into an aqueous solution containing alum with a high salt concentration. On the other hand, in this embodiment, no salt is used at this time, and only the alum is used to fix the eggplant soot uniformly. In addition, this alum has long been considered to have a bactericidal effect and a water purification effect in the field of pickles, which is also advantageous from this point of view. However, if the extra alum remains on the epidermis, the taste will be slightly bitter, so the alum usage will be about 0.2-0.4% by weight of water eggplant, and after about 30 minutes of familiarization it will be clean Rinse with fresh water to remove water (note that the secondary cleaning here is also preferably ozone water or electrolytic hyponitrogenated water as in the first case).

次に上記の水茄子1を内包装する。図2(a)は前記の内包装体3をなす袋状シート材3aの側面図で、図2(b)はこれで水茄子を内包装する際の透視図である。袋状シート材3aの素材は厚さ0.01〜0.02mm程度のポリエチレン製の袋がよく、外形は短手方向たる横長が120mmあれば適当な大きさの水茄子はほぼ過不足なく挿入できる。長手方向たる縦の長さは、請求項2の構成のように折り返し(符号4)をつける場合には650〜700mmのものが必要である。なお折り返して水茄子を封入する場合には、請求項3の通り、該袋状シート材の底3cから10cm程度の範囲にまんべんなく複数の穴6を開けておく。後にこの穴6を開けた箇所が、袋状シート材3aの水茄子側包装面3dとして水茄子に接する部分になる。そして内包装体3に封入するトレハロースなど糖類や寒天7(図1を参照)及び乳酸菌などの機能を水茄子の果皮に伝えるための穴となる。因みにこの穴の大きさは直径3〜7ミリメートルが好適である。   Next, the above-described water insulator 1 is packaged. FIG. 2A is a side view of the bag-shaped sheet material 3a forming the inner package 3, and FIG. 2B is a perspective view when the eggplant is internally packaged. The material of the bag-like sheet material 3a is preferably a polyethylene bag having a thickness of about 0.01 to 0.02 mm, and if the outer shape is 120 mm long in the short direction, an appropriate size of water insulator can be inserted almost without excess or deficiency. it can. The longitudinal length in the longitudinal direction needs to be 650 to 700 mm in the case of turning back (reference numeral 4) as in the structure of claim 2. When the water insulator is sealed by folding, a plurality of holes 6 are made evenly in a range of about 10 cm from the bottom 3c of the bag-like sheet material as in claim 3. The place where the hole 6 is opened later is a portion in contact with the water insulator as the water insulator side packaging surface 3d of the bag-like sheet material 3a. And it becomes a hole for transmitting functions, such as saccharides, such as trehalose enclosed in the inner package 3, agar 7 (refer FIG. 1), and a lactic acid bacterium, to the peel of a water palm. Incidentally, the size of the hole is preferably 3 to 7 mm in diameter.

本発明の第1実施例では、内包装体3は袋状シート材3aをもってなし、該袋状シート材を水茄子1の一端(ヘタの方)から被せることにより水茄子側包装面3dと、これを水茄子のもう一方の端(お尻の丸い方)を覆うと共に折り返して(符号4)糠床側包装面3eとの2層として、糠床側包装面3eは水茄子と直接接触せず、水茄子側包装面3dは水茄子との接触が離れる方向にめくられながら糠床側包装面3eに連続して引き出されるため、内包装体のうち袋状シート材のみを水茄子との接触による抵抗を受けずに外容器5aより排出可能としたことを特徴の1つとする。これは茄子の中でも特に皮の薄い水茄子の場合、あらゆる樹脂性シート材と癒着しているが如く張り付きシート材が全く滑らなくなることへの対策である。上記構成により、浅漬けの利用者は袋状シート材のみを外容器より排出させる際に、力を込める必要がなくなる。なお製造時は、前記の縦長のポリエチレン製袋3aを水茄子のヘタの方から被せ、水茄子の丸いお尻の方を覆うとともに折り返す(符号4)。この折り返した部分4は、図3のごとく左(a)右(b)と下端(c)から三つ折にして、水茄子に沿わして収めておく。   In the first embodiment of the present invention, the inner package 3 has a bag-like sheet material 3a, and the bag-like sheet material is covered from one end (side of the sticker) of the water insulator 1 to provide a water insulator-side packaging surface 3d, This is covered with the other end (the rounded corner of the hips) of the eggplant and folded back (reference numeral 4) as two layers with the bedside packaging surface 3e, so that the bedside packaging surface 3e is in direct contact with the chicken eggplant. First, since the water insulator side packaging surface 3d is continuously pulled out to the bed side packaging surface 3e while being turned away from the contact with the water insulator, only the bag-like sheet material of the inner package is connected to the water insulator. One of the features is that the container can be discharged from the outer container 5a without receiving resistance due to contact. This is a measure to prevent the sticky sheet material from slipping at all, as in the case of the water insulator with a thin skin among the insulators, although it adheres to any resinous sheet material. With the above-described configuration, it is not necessary for a shallow pickled user to put power in discharging only the bag-like sheet material from the outer container. During manufacture, the vertically long polyethylene bag 3a is covered from the top of the water insulator, covering the round ass of the water insulator and folding back (reference numeral 4). The folded portion 4 is folded in three from the left (a) right (b) and the lower end (c) as shown in FIG. 3, and is stored along the water insulator.

次に上記の袋状シート材3aに収められた水茄子の内包装体3を、軽く洗浄(第3次)した後に、糠床となる外容器5aに装填する。図4はその装填の様子であり、側面から見た透視図である。第1実施例では外容器5aとして、ポリエチレン製の規格袋で、厚さ0.03mm×横130mm×縦250mmのものを用いた。これに糠床2aを適宜充填しながら(2aa)、その途中で前記水茄子の内包装体3を装填する。上記袋状シート材3aの折り返して三つ折にした部分(符号4)は、糠床の弾力によって封じられ、糠床2aはこの部分から内包装体の中には混入しない。また逆に、後の工程にて内包装体の中に水分を封入した場合でも、極端な力が外容器5aの外側から加わらない限り、この内包装体の中の水分は糠床2aの側に混入しない。そしてこの段階では、水茄子を内包装した袋状シート材3aのうち糠床側包装面3eが壁となって、この袋状シート材3aを外部に引き出さない限り、水茄子1と糠床2aは混合していない。   Next, the water insulator inner package 3 housed in the bag-like sheet material 3a is lightly washed (tertiary), and then loaded into the outer container 5a serving as a bed. FIG. 4 shows the state of the loading, and is a perspective view seen from the side. In the first embodiment, as the outer container 5a, a standard bag made of polyethylene having a thickness of 0.03 mm × width of 130 mm × length of 250 mm was used. While filling the cocoon bed 2a as appropriate (2aa), the inner package 3 of the water insulator is loaded on the way. A portion (reference numeral 4) of the bag-like sheet material 3a folded in three is sealed by the elasticity of the bed, and the bed 2a is not mixed into the inner package from this portion. Conversely, even when moisture is enclosed in the inner package in a later step, the moisture in the inner package remains on the side of the bed 2a unless extreme force is applied from the outside of the outer container 5a. Do not mix. At this stage, the cocoon insulator 1 and the cocoon bed 2a are used unless the cocoon floor side packaging surface 3e serves as a wall of the bag-like sheet material 3a in which the coconut egg is internally packaged, and the bag-like sheet material 3a is not pulled out to the outside. Are not mixed.

第1実施例では、糠床2aと水茄子1との隔離状態を解除するまでは、水茄子はあくまでカットされていない丸のままの生鮮品である。その鮮度保持などのために、前記のミョウバン処理だけでは不十分であり、内包装体3の中にはトレハロース、オリゴ糖類、デキストリン、キトサンなどの水溶液や寒天(符号7)、あるいはこれに乳酸菌を加えたものが、茄子を取り囲み接するよう封入される。当実施例での封入場所は、水茄子側包装面3dと糠床側包装面3eとの間、すなわち袋状シート材3aの2層となった間のポケット部分8aで、水茄子側包装面のみ多数の穴6が開いた部分である。   In the first embodiment, until the isolated state between the cocoon bed 2a and the water insulator 1 is released, the water insulator is a fresh product that is not cut yet. In order to maintain its freshness, the above alum treatment alone is not sufficient, and the inner package 3 contains an aqueous solution such as trehalose, oligosaccharides, dextrin, chitosan, agar (symbol 7), or lactic acid bacteria. The addition is enclosed so as to surround and touch the insulator. The sealing place in this embodiment is the pocket portion 8a between the water insulator side packaging surface 3d and the bed side packaging surface 3e, that is, between the two layers of the bag-like sheet material 3a, and the water insulator side packaging surface. Only a portion where a large number of holes 6 are opened.

上記のうち寒天7は、水茄子1の乾燥を防ぐ目的で、ヘタの茎を切った部分(本実施例では袋状シート材3aのうち、底の部分3cから水茄子側包装面3dにかけての穴6の開いた部分が覆いかぶさっている)を覆うがごとく、軽く一掴みを袋状シート材3aの上開口部8bから入れる。寒天はいわゆる昔ながらの「ところ天突き」で細長く押し出し成型したものを使う。これは細長い方が水茄子に沿って覆えるのと、後に袋状シート材を抜き出す際に該袋状シート材の底10cm位の部分に開けた穴6から寒天が糠床内2aに余分にこぼれ出るのを防ぐためである。なお前述の通り、この寒天の役割は不織布などの吸水体によって代替させることができる。   Of the above, the agar 7 is a portion of the stem that has been cut for the purpose of preventing the drying of the eggplant 1 (in the present embodiment, of the bag-like sheet material 3a, from the bottom part 3c to the eggplant side packaging surface 3d. A handful of grips is inserted through the upper opening 8b of the bag-like sheet material 3a, as if the hole 6 is covered. Agar is a so-called “Toko Tenshi” that is long and extruded. This is because the elongate side can be covered along the water insulator, and when the bag-like sheet material is pulled out later, agar is excessively added to the inside 2a of the bed from the hole 6 opened in the bottom 10 cm portion of the bag-like sheet material. This is to prevent spillage. As described above, the role of this agar can be replaced by a water absorbent such as a nonwoven fabric.

寒天7を入れた後に、外容器5aの上端部分5bを袋状シート材3aと共に掴みながら、針金入りテープ材9などで巻いて巾着状にシールする。図5はその第1実施例の外観側面図である。なお実際の販売時には、温度変化に対する緩衝材として外容器の胴回りに薄手の段ボール紙か発砲スチロール製のシートを巻き、さらにチャック付の透明袋に入れた構成とする(図は省略)。このチャック付透明袋の開口部最端は安全面からも熱シールしておく。   After the agar 7 is put, the upper end portion 5b of the outer container 5a is wrapped with a wire tape material 9 or the like while being grasped together with the bag-like sheet material 3a and sealed in a purse-like shape. FIG. 5 is an external side view of the first embodiment. In actual sales, a thin corrugated paper or foamed polystyrene sheet is wound around the trunk of the outer container as a cushioning material against temperature changes, and further placed in a transparent bag with a chuck (not shown). The end of the opening of the transparent bag with a chuck is heat-sealed from the viewpoint of safety.

こうして水茄子1と糠床2aが袋状シート材3aを介して非混合の状態で封入された製品10が流通する。これを受けた利用者は、製造日後少なくとも3週間を経過する日までの間であれば、この間何時でも袋状シート材3aを糠床たる外容器5aの外側に引き抜くことで糠床と水茄子を混合させ、本発明のうち糠床の場合の最適な待ち時間である2〜4時間を冷蔵庫内で外容器ごと漬け込むだけで、素材の食感を残した美味しい水茄子の浅漬けを食することができる。なお、当実施例の構成によれば、個々の製品重量は500〜600g程度となり、これは従来製品である一重の袋入り水茄子漬(500gから+−30g位の製品が多い)と大差なく、例えば従来通り詰め合わせ贈答品向けとして問題なく、また冷蔵庫内でも数個据え置きできる大きさである。   In this way, the product 10 in which the water insulator 1 and the bed 2a are sealed in an unmixed state through the bag-like sheet material 3a flows. The user who has received this is until the day when at least 3 weeks have passed since the date of manufacture, and at any time during this period, the bag-like sheet material 3a is pulled out to the outside of the outer container 5a, which is the bed, so Just mix the outer container in the refrigerator for 2 to 4 hours, which is the optimum waiting time in the case of the cocoon bed of the present invention, and eat the delicious pickled rice cake with the texture of the ingredients. be able to. In addition, according to the structure of the present embodiment, the weight of each product is about 500 to 600 g, which is not much different from the conventional single-packed coconut pickles (many products from 500 g to + -30 g). For example, it is a size that can be used for assorted gifts as usual, and can be used in a refrigerator.

図6は袋状シート材3aが外容器5aの外側へ抜き出される際の透視図である。利用者が袋状シート材3aを糠床たる外容器5aの外側へ引き出す際は、当例では前述の針金入りテープ材9を一旦緩めて行う。まず製品10を台上に立てて置き、利用者は一方の手の人差し指と親指で小円を作り、これを外容器5aの上開口部周縁に軽く添えて、もう一方の手で袋状シート材の上端3bを掴みこれを引き抜けばよい(符号13)。その際、袋状シート材3aの中に封入された細長い寒天7は、袋状シート材の底部分3cに溜まって、袋状シート材と同時に外容器の外側へ排出される。これに対して糖類や乳酸菌などの水溶液は、袋状シート材の底10cm位の部分に開けていた穴6から糠床内2aにこぼれ出るが、前述の通りこの水溶液が糠床等と混合して水茄子の漬かるのを早める。   FIG. 6 is a perspective view when the bag-shaped sheet material 3a is extracted to the outside of the outer container 5a. When the user pulls out the bag-like sheet material 3a to the outside of the outer container 5a, which is a bed, in this example, the above-described wire-containing tape material 9 is once loosened. First, the product 10 is placed on a table, and the user makes a small circle with the index finger and thumb of one hand, lightly attaches it to the periphery of the upper opening of the outer container 5a, and the bag-like sheet with the other hand. The upper end 3b of the material is grasped and pulled out (reference numeral 13). At that time, the elongated agar 7 enclosed in the bag-shaped sheet material 3a is accumulated in the bottom portion 3c of the bag-shaped sheet material, and is discharged to the outside of the outer container simultaneously with the bag-shaped sheet material. In contrast, an aqueous solution of saccharides or lactic acid bacteria spills into the bed 2a from the hole 6 opened in the bottom 10 cm of the bag-like sheet material. Accelerate the pickling of Minamata.

上記の袋状シート材3aを引き抜く作業をより容易にするため、紙もしくは樹脂製シートをドーナッツ状に加工した補助リング11(穴の周囲に弁状にするための切れ込みを入れると好適である)を作成し、これを外容器の上開口部5b周縁にセットしておき、利用者は前記のように指で小円を作る替わりに該補助リング11に手を添えてもらうようにすれば(符号12)、特に初めての利用者にとって便利である。   In order to make the operation of pulling out the bag-shaped sheet material 3a easier, an auxiliary ring 11 obtained by processing a paper or resin sheet into a donut shape (preferably, a notch is formed around the hole to form a valve) This is set on the periphery of the upper opening 5b of the outer container, and the user can have his hand attached to the auxiliary ring 11 instead of making a small circle with the finger as described above ( Reference numeral 12) is particularly convenient for first-time users.

図7は、袋状シート材3aが排出された後に、水茄子1が糠床2aと混合して漬かっている状態の透視図である。ちなみにこの段階で、従来の一般的な袋入り水茄子の浅漬け製品と同じ様態になっている。   FIG. 7 is a perspective view of a state in which the water insulator 1 is mixed and immersed in the bed 2a after the bag-shaped sheet material 3a is discharged. By the way, at this stage, it is in the same form as the conventional soaked product of water-filled eggplant.

第1実施例では、前記内包装体3の中に(株)林原製のトレハロースの水溶液を大さじ2杯の約30ml封入した。同水溶液の濃度は3〜15%が適当で、より好ましくは7〜13%であると考えられる。15%を超えるとトレハロースの本来持つ甘味が水茄子に強く移りすぎてしまう。一方3%未満では効果が認められなかった。   In the first embodiment, about 30 ml of an aqueous solution of trehalose manufactured by Hayashibara Co., Ltd. was enclosed in the inner package 3. The concentration of the aqueous solution is suitably 3 to 15%, more preferably 7 to 13%. If it exceeds 15%, the inherent sweetness of trehalose will be transferred too strongly to the eggplant. On the other hand, if it was less than 3%, no effect was observed.

表5は、本発明の第1実施例における、食品としての微生物検査の結果である。また表6は、比較サンプルとして購入した市販の袋入り水茄子の浅漬けの同検査結果である。表6の市販品の方は、開封後に茄子から漬液を洗い落とさずに食べる仕様であり、検出された菌類は経口される可能性が高い。対して、表5における本発明品のこの場合の検体は、後に外容器に充填された糠床と混合される以前の状態のものであり、実際には食べる前の数時間において糠床と混合されることから、一般生菌は糠床の塩分や乳酸菌による善玉発酵にさらされることになる。さらに表5における本発明品では、食べる直前にこうした糠床なども全て水茄子から洗い落とされる仕様のものである。なお表5のうち、トレハロースに加えてキトサンの微量を添加した検体Bの14日目の一般生菌数の減少からも、キトサンの抗菌効果が認められる。キトサンは水に不溶なので、当該溶液に添加する際には食酢(りんご酢など)にて溶解しておくと好適である。   Table 5 shows the results of microbial tests as food in the first example of the present invention. Table 6 shows the results of the inspection of a commercially available water-filled eggplant purchased as a comparative sample. The commercially available products in Table 6 have specifications that are eaten without washing the pickled solution from the eggplant after opening, and the detected fungi are likely to be taken orally. On the other hand, the sample in this case of the product of the present invention in Table 5 is in a state before being mixed with the bed filled in the outer container later, and actually mixed with the bed in a few hours before eating. Therefore, general live bacteria are exposed to good fermentation by salinity and lactic acid bacteria. Furthermore, the products of the present invention in Table 5 are of a specification in which all such crabs are washed away from the water coconut immediately before eating. In Table 5, the antibacterial effect of chitosan is also observed from the decrease in the number of general viable bacteria on the 14th day of Sample B, to which a small amount of chitosan was added in addition to trehalose. Since chitosan is insoluble in water, it is preferable to dissolve it in vinegar (such as apple vinegar) when it is added to the solution.

本発明の「第2実施例」は、ヘタを取らずカットもしていない丸の果実のままの、「包装容器入り水茄子の漬液による浅漬け」であり、請求項1及び請求項5〜7に対応する。なお図8は、同浅漬け製品の斜視概略図で、(a)は製品流通時の、(b)は袋状シート材3aを開封している際の、いずれも透視図である。   The “second embodiment” of the present invention is “shallow pickling in a pickled solution of water-filled coconut in a packaging container”, which is a round fruit that has not been cut or cut, and is defined in claims 1 and 5 to 7. Corresponding to FIG. 8 is a schematic perspective view of the soaked product, where (a) is a product distribution, and (b) is a perspective view when the bag-shaped sheet material 3a is opened.

第1実施例の漬床が、練り状の糠床であったのに対して、第2実施例は液体による液漬けである点が大きく異なる。流通過程における水茄子1は、内包装体3の中で塩分を含まないかあるいは極低塩濃度の鮮度保持用の溶液8aとともに封じられ、利用者が漬液2bと水茄子の隔離手段を解除した後に外容器5aの中で本格的な液漬けを行うことで、袋入りの液漬け製品でありながら素材の食感をも併せて提供しようとするものである。   The pickling bed of the first embodiment is a kneaded paddle, whereas the second embodiment is greatly different in that it is immersed in a liquid. The eggplant 1 in the distribution process is sealed with the freshness-preserving solution 8a that does not contain salt or has a very low salt concentration in the inner package 3, and the user releases the means for separating the pickled liquid 2b from the eggplant. Later, full-fledged immersion in the outer container 5a is intended to provide the texture of the material while being a bagged immersion product.

第2実施例の漬液2bと水茄子1の隔離手段としての袋状シート材3aは、カットテープ14などの開封手段の付いた袋を用いる。この内包装体3が漬液2bの入った外容器5aの中に装填され、ただし、内包装体の開封用カットテープ14のタブ15(摘み片)より延長された線状体16aの端部16bが外容器5aの外側に裸出された構造を持つ。利用者が線状体の端部16bを持ってこれを外部に引き抜くことで、漬液2bと水茄子1の隔離状態が解除され本格的な漬け込みが開始される。   As the bag-like sheet material 3a as a means for separating the pickled liquid 2b and the water insulator 1 of the second embodiment, a bag with an opening means such as a cut tape 14 is used. The inner package 3 is loaded into the outer container 5a containing the pickled solution 2b, provided that the end 16b of the linear body 16a is extended from the tab 15 (the tab) of the opening cutting tape 14 of the inner package. Has a structure naked to the outside of the outer container 5a. When the user holds the end 16b of the linear body and pulls it out, the isolated state of the pickling liquid 2b and the water insulator 1 is released and full-fledged pickling is started.

第2実施例で使用される水茄子1も、前例と同様にミョウバンによるナス紺の定着、及びこうした作業の前後で数度の洗浄が行われる(オゾン水もしくは電解次亜水の使用が好ましい)。ただし前例同様に、一般の水茄子の漬物の場合に行われる下処理段階での塩揉みや塩漬け(荒漬け)は、当例においても原則行わない。   As with the previous example, the eggplant 1 used in the second embodiment is also fixed with eggplant by alum and washed several times before and after such work (use of ozone water or electrolytic hyponitrous acid is preferred). . However, as in the case of the previous example, the salting and salting (rough pickling) in the pre-treatment stage, which is performed in the case of general pickled aubergine, is not performed in this example as a general rule.

内包装体3は、袋に装着されたカットテープ14などにより開封される。この内包装体を構成する袋状シート材3aは外容器5aの中で開封するだけでなく、外容器の外側へ排出される方が望ましい。本実施例向けの袋状シート材3aとして、カットして開封する範囲を広げた特注品を準備すれば、カットテープに引き続いて袋状シート材も外容器5aの外側へより容易に排出できる構造がとりうる。例えば、袋状シート材3aの両面を長手方向に表裏一体となって引き続いて開封できるものなどが考えられる(図は省略)。しかし袋の片面を長手方向に端から端まで開封できるようになったカットテープ付き透明袋(図8で表示のもの)は、既製のものが販売されており、これを利用した方がコスト面からも好適である。第2実施例では透明あるいは透明に近い漬け液2bを用いているので、袋状シート材が上記の片面開封のものであっても、ほとんど手を汚すことなくこれを外容器の外側へ取り出すことは可能である。利用者が引き抜くための線状体16aはポリエチレンやポリプロピレン製テープを用い、これと袋に付属のカットテープ14のタブ15(摘み片)は、市販のハンディタイプのホットシーラーで容易に溶着できる。なおカットテープ14はティアテープであってもよく、またカットテープの幅に制限はなく、幅広のカットフィルム状のものであってもよい。なお、袋状シート材の上開口部3bは水茄子と鮮度保持用の溶液を入れた後に溶着される。   The inner package 3 is opened with a cut tape 14 or the like attached to the bag. It is desirable that the bag-like sheet material 3a constituting the inner package is not only opened in the outer container 5a but also discharged to the outside of the outer container. As a bag-like sheet material 3a for the present embodiment, if a custom-made product with an expanded range to be cut and opened is prepared, the bag-like sheet material can be easily discharged to the outside of the outer container 5a following the cut tape. Can take. For example, there can be considered one in which both sides of the bag-like sheet material 3a can be opened continuously with the front and back in the longitudinal direction (not shown). However, transparent bags with cut tape that can be opened from one end to the other in the longitudinal direction (shown in FIG. 8) are already sold, and it is more costly to use them. Is also preferable. In the second embodiment, since the pickling solution 2b is transparent or nearly transparent, even if the bag-like sheet material is one-side-opened, it is taken out to the outside of the outer container with almost no dirt on the hands. Is possible. The linear body 16a for the user to pull out is made of polyethylene or polypropylene tape, and the tab 15 (the tab) of the cut tape 14 attached to the bag can be easily welded with a commercially available handy type hot sealer. The cut tape 14 may be a tear tape, and the width of the cut tape is not limited, and may be a wide cut film. Note that the upper opening 3b of the bag-shaped sheet material is welded after adding a water insulator and a freshness-keeping solution.

上記方法により延長された線状体16a、すなわちカットテープの延長端部16bは外容器5aの外側に裸出される。外容器は開口部5bがチャック17付きで、底がマチ付きでスタンドタイプの透明袋が用いられる。外容器に漬液が充填され、この中に水茄子1などが封入された内包装体3が装填され、外容器の開口部5bはチャックで封じられた後にさらにその開口端部が熱シール18される。その際にカットテープの延長端部16bも外容器の開口部に挟まれた状態でシールされる。あるいはカットテープの延長端部16bの数cmが、封じられたチャック17と熱シール部18の僅かな間に収められればなお好適である。いずれの場合であっても、こうした状態で外容器内の漬液2bはまったくこぼれ出ない。   The linear body 16a extended by the above method, that is, the extended end portion 16b of the cut tape is exposed to the outside of the outer container 5a. As the outer container, a stand-type transparent bag having an opening 5b with a chuck 17 and a bottom with a gusset is used. The outer container is filled with the pickled liquid, and the inner package 3 in which the water insulator 1 or the like is enclosed is loaded. The opening 5b of the outer container is sealed with a chuck, and the opening end is further heat sealed 18. The At that time, the extended end portion 16b of the cut tape is also sealed while being sandwiched between the openings of the outer container. Alternatively, it is more preferable that a few cm of the extended end portion 16b of the cut tape is accommodated between the sealed chuck 17 and the heat seal portion 18. In any case, the pickled liquid 2b in the outer container does not spill out at all in such a state.

第2実施例では、内包装体3の中にトレハロース、オリゴ糖類、デキストリン、キトサンから選択される1種以上の適量か、これに乳酸菌を含む水溶液が茄子を取り囲み接するよう封入される。また第1実施例と同様に内包装体の中には原則として塩分は一切含めないが、第2実施例ではこの溶液を出来上がり濃度で2%未満に塩分調整したものであってもよい。なおこの塩分の全て、もしくは半分程度を、食塩の代替機能を有するグルコン酸カリウム、あるいはグルコン酸ナトリウムで置き換えても食味上から好適である。   In the second embodiment, an appropriate amount of at least one selected from trehalose, oligosaccharides, dextrin and chitosan or an aqueous solution containing lactic acid bacteria is enclosed in the inner package 3 so as to surround and touch the insulator. As in the first embodiment, the inner package does not contain any salt in principle. However, in the second embodiment, this solution may be adjusted to a salt concentration of less than 2%. In addition, it is preferable in terms of taste even if all or about half of this salt content is replaced with potassium gluconate or sodium gluconate having an alternative function of sodium chloride.

第2実施例では、外容器5aの中には、塩分濃度が2〜14%の本格的な漬液2bが調合されて封入される。できればわずかに乳酸発酵された漬液であることが、浅漬けの風味上からも望ましく、この場合には乳酸菌を生息させるために前記の塩分濃度は2〜8%に調整される(ここでの乳酸菌とは、上記内包装体の中に糖類とともに封入する乳酸菌とは別のものである)。   In the second embodiment, a full-fledged dipping solution 2b having a salt concentration of 2 to 14% is prepared and enclosed in the outer container 5a. If possible, a slightly lactic acid-fermented pickled solution is also desirable from the light pickled flavor, and in this case, the salt concentration is adjusted to 2 to 8% in order to inhabit lactic acid bacteria (lactic acid bacteria here) Is different from lactic acid bacteria encapsulated with saccharides in the inner package.

こうして水茄子1と漬液2bが袋状シート材3aを介して非混合の状態で封入された製品19が流通する。これを受けた利用者は、製造日後少なくとも3週間を経過する日までの間であれば、この間何時でも袋状シート材3aの開封手段であるカットテープ14の延長端部16bを持って、これを外容器5aの外側に引き抜くことで水茄子と漬液の隔離状態を解除(符号20)して両者を混合させ、少なくとも30分間、より好ましくは1〜3時間冷蔵庫内で外容器ごと漬け込むだけで、素材の食感を残した美味しい水茄子の浅漬けを食することができる。なおカットテープを引き抜いた後に、袋状シート材3aを外容器の外側へ排出させない場合は、外容器の開口部5bをチャック17で再封した後に、外容器ごと手で軽く揉むだけでも、水茄子と漬液は十分混合し、漬かり方に支障は及ばない。   In this way, the product 19 in which the water insulator 1 and the pickled liquid 2b are sealed in an unmixed state through the bag-like sheet material 3a flows. The user who has received this has the extended end portion 16b of the cut tape 14 which is the means for opening the bag-like sheet material 3a at any time during this period until at least three weeks after the date of manufacture. By pulling out the outside of the outer container 5a, the isolated state of the water eggplant and the pickled solution is released (reference numeral 20), both are mixed, and only the whole outer container is soaked in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, more preferably 1-3 hours. , You can eat the delicious pickled sea bream with the texture of the ingredients. If the bag-like sheet material 3a is not discharged to the outside of the outer container after the cut tape has been pulled out, it is possible to re-seal the opening 5b of the outer container with the chuck 17 and then rub the entire outer container by hand. The eggplant and the pickled solution are mixed thoroughly, and there is no problem with the way of pickling.

本発明の「第3実施例」は、ヘタを取らずカットもしていない丸の果実のままの「包装容器入り水茄子のごく軟らかな糠床による浅漬け」であり、請求項1及び請求項4〜7に対応する。なお図9は、同浅漬け製品の斜視概略図で、(a)は製品の流通時、(b)は袋状シート材3aを開封している際の、いずれも透視図である。   The “third embodiment” of the present invention is “shallow pickled with a very soft cocoon of water-filled eggplant in a packaging container” as a round fruit that has not been cut or cut. Corresponds to 4-7. 9 is a schematic perspective view of the soaked product. FIG. 9A is a perspective view when the product is distributed, and FIG. 9B is a perspective view when the bag-shaped sheet material 3a is opened.

第3実施例は、前記2つの実施例の間に位置づけられるものである。第1実施例が糠床による浅漬け、第2実施例が液漬けであったのに対し、この第3実施例では糠床と漬液の中間の、ごく柔らかい糠床の中で本漬け込みが行われる。このためカットテープ14などの開封手段の付いた袋状シート材3aの中には水茄子に代わって糠床2aが封入さる。流通過程における水茄子1は外容器5aの中でごく低塩濃度の鮮度保持用の溶液8aに浸され、利用者が食べる時間を見計らって袋状シート材3aのカットテープ等を引き抜くことで、水茄子の浸された溶液8aと糠床2aが混合して溶解し(8a+2a)、漬け込みが開始される。なお、第1実施例でも使用した一般的な糠床は「耳たぶ」位の硬さが良いとされるが、第3実施例でのごく軟らかい糠床(8a+2a)とは、例えてコーヒー向けの練乳位の硬さである。   The third embodiment is positioned between the two embodiments. While the first embodiment was soaked in a shallow bed and the second embodiment was soaked in a liquid, the third embodiment was soaked in a very soft bed between the soaking bed and the soaking liquid. Is called. For this reason, in the bag-like sheet material 3a with opening means such as the cut tape 14, the cocoon bed 2a is enclosed in place of the water insulator. The eggplant 1 in the distribution process is immersed in the freshness-keeping solution 8a having a very low salt concentration in the outer container 5a, and the cutting tape etc. of the bag-like sheet material 3a is pulled out by taking time to eat by the user. The solution 8a soaked with water insulator and the bed 2a are mixed and dissolved (8a + 2a), and the soaking is started. The general bed used in the first embodiment is said to have a hardness of “ear lobe”, but the very soft bed (8a + 2a) in the third embodiment is for coffee, for example. It is the hardness of condensed milk.

第3実施例で使用する水茄子1も、前2例と同様にミョウバンによるナス紺の定着作業、及びこうした作業の前後で数度の洗浄が行われる(オゾン水もしくは電解次亜水の使用が好ましい)。そして一般の水茄子の漬物の場合に行われる下処理段階での塩揉みや塩漬け(荒漬け)は、前2例同様に本例でも原則として行わない。   As with the previous two examples, the eggplant 1 used in the third embodiment is fixed to the eggplant by means of alum and washed several times before and after such work (the use of ozone water or electrolytic hypochlorite). preferable). And, in general, the salting and salting (rough pickling) in the pretreatment stage, which is performed in the case of general pickled coconuts, is not performed in this example as in principle.

なお、外容器内に茄子とともに封入する糖類の溶液を例えば2%未満に塩分調整したものを用いる場合には、前記下処理段階において、該下処理直後の茄子の表皮直下の果肉(果汁)にしみ込んだ塩分濃度が2%未満である範囲においてごく軽めの塩分処理を行ってもよい。これを行う理由は、第3実施例の場合には、糠床と漬液の中間のごく軟らかな糠床による浅漬けであり、糠漬けの第1実施例、液漬けの第2実施例に比べてやや利用者が漬かり具合を計るのが難しいためである。すなわち、前記の糠床と茄子の隔離状態を解除して本漬け込みを開始する以前において、第3実施例ではトレハロースなどと塩分で浅漬けの旨味を引き出しておくためである。   In addition, in the case of using a saccharide solution that has been salted to less than 2%, for example, in an outer container together with the eggplant, in the pretreatment stage, the pulp (fruit juice) immediately below the eggplant skin immediately after the undertreatment is used. In the range where the soaked salt concentration is less than 2%, a very light salt treatment may be performed. The reason for this is that in the case of the third embodiment, it is pickled shallowly with a very soft bed between the pickles and the pickles, compared to the first embodiment of pickles and the second embodiment of pickles. This is because it is somewhat difficult for users to measure the pickle. That is, before releasing the isolated state of the cocoon bed and the eggplant and starting the main pickling, in the third embodiment, the flavor of the shallow pickled with salt and salt is drawn out in the third embodiment.

第3実施例でも外容器5aは開口部5bがチャック17付きで、底がマチ付きでスタンドタイプの透明袋が用いられる。また糠床2aを充填する袋状シート材3aの種類やカットテープ14等の開封手段の装着方法も第2実施例の場合と同様である。ただし第3実施例に限っては、袋状シート材3aは外容器5bの中で開封されるだけで、むしろ外容器の外側には排出されない構造の方がよい。利用者が外からカットテープを引き抜くことで袋状シート材を開封(符号20)した後、外容器のチャック17を再封し、外容器ごと手で軽く揉み解せば、袋状シート材の中の糠床2aはこれを取り囲む外容器内の低塩濃度の溶液8aに浸透圧の働きも加わって自然と溶解していき(8a+2a)、漬かり方に支障は及ばない。この状態で冷蔵庫内で漬け込むので、残った糠床の付いた袋状シート材3aは外側に排出されない方が周囲を汚さなく又匂わない。   Also in the third embodiment, the outer container 5a uses a stand-type transparent bag having an opening 5b with a chuck 17 and a bottom with a gusset. Further, the type of bag-like sheet material 3a filling the bed 2a and the mounting method of the opening means such as the cut tape 14 are the same as in the second embodiment. However, only in the third embodiment, it is preferable that the bag-like sheet material 3a is opened only in the outer container 5b and is not discharged to the outside of the outer container. After the user opens the bag-like sheet material by pulling out the cut tape from the outside (reference numeral 20), reseals the chuck 17 of the outer container and gently rubs the outer container together by hand. The cocoon bed 2a naturally dissolves by adding the action of osmotic pressure to the low salt concentration solution 8a in the outer container surrounding it (8a + 2a), and does not interfere with the pickling method. Since it is soaked in the refrigerator in this state, the bag-like sheet material 3a with the remaining bed is not polluted and does not smell if it is not discharged to the outside.

第3実施例では、前2例のように内包装体ではなく、外容器5aの中にトレハロース、オリゴ糖類、デキストリン、キトサンから選択される1種以上の適量か、これに乳酸菌を含む水溶液が茄子を取り囲み接するよう封入される。なおこの溶液8aは、出来上がり濃度で例えば2%未満に塩分調整したものを用いる。また第2実施例と同様にこの塩分の全て、もしくは半分程度を、食塩の代替機能を有するグルコン酸カリウム、あるいはグルコン酸ナトリウムで置き換えても食味上から好適である。   In the third embodiment, an appropriate amount of one or more selected from trehalose, oligosaccharides, dextrin, and chitosan is contained in the outer container 5a instead of the inner package as in the previous two examples, or an aqueous solution containing lactic acid bacteria is contained therein. Enclosed so as to surround and touch the insulator. As the solution 8a, a solution whose salt concentration is adjusted to a final concentration of, for example, less than 2% is used. Further, as in the second embodiment, it is preferable from the standpoint of taste if all or about half of this salt content is replaced with potassium gluconate or sodium gluconate having an alternative function of sodium chloride.

上記の外容器5aの中に封入される溶液中のオリゴ糖類とは、イソマルトオリゴ糖やラフィノースなどが挙げられる。また同溶液中にはソルビトールなどの糖アルコールの適量を添加してもよい。   Examples of the oligosaccharide in the solution sealed in the outer container 5a include isomaltoligosaccharide and raffinose. An appropriate amount of sugar alcohol such as sorbitol may be added to the solution.

また第3実施例では内包装体である袋状シート材3aの中に糠床2aが封入されるが、その塩分濃度は糠床2aが溶液8aに概ね溶解した段階(8a+2a)で2〜14%になるよう調整される。なお糠床2aが本来もつ乳酸発酵を生かすことが浅漬けの風味上からも望ましく、この場合には乳酸菌を生息させるために前記の塩分濃度は2〜8%になるよう調整される。   Further, in the third embodiment, the bed 2a is enclosed in the bag-like sheet material 3a which is an inner package, and the salt concentration thereof is 2 to 14 at the stage (8a + 2a) when the bed 2a is substantially dissolved in the solution 8a. % Adjusted. It is desirable that the lactic acid fermentation inherent in the cocoon bed 2a is utilized from the viewpoint of the soaked flavor, and in this case, the salt concentration is adjusted to 2 to 8% in order to inhabit lactic acid bacteria.

こうして水茄子1と糠床2aが袋状シート材3aを介して非混合の状態で封入された製品21が流通する。これを受けた利用者は、製造日後少なくとも3週間を経過する日までの間であれば、この間何時でも袋状シート材の開封手段であるカットテープを外容器5aの外側から引っぱることで水茄子と糠床の隔離状態を解除して両者を混合させ、少なくとも30分間、より好ましくは1〜3時間冷蔵庫内で外容器ごと漬け込むだけで、素材の食感を残した美味しい水茄子の浅漬けを食することができる。   In this way, the product 21 in which the water insulator 1 and the cocoon bed 2a are sealed in an unmixed state through the bag-like sheet material 3a flows. The user who has received this information can pull the cut tape, which is the means for opening the bag-like sheet material, from the outside of the outer container 5a at any time during the period up to at least 3 weeks after the date of manufacture. Release the isolated state of the cocoon bed and mix them together, and then immerse the outer container in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, more preferably 1 to 3 hours. You can eat.

なお図10の、包装容器入り水茄子の浅漬け製品(従来品と本発明品はいずれも糠床漬けの場合)の経時における食味変化の概略比較については、当明細書の「発明が解決しようとする課題」や「発明の効果」の項で記述した通りである。なお本発明によれば、内包装体などの中に封入される水茄子の確認された鮮度保持期間は概ね3週間だが、製品としての賞味期限は余裕をみて製造後14日目位に設定するのも選択肢の1つである。   In addition, as for the rough comparison of the change in taste over time of FIG. 10 with the water pickled product of the water-filled eggplant in the packaging container (when both the conventional product and the present invention are pickled in the seabed), the “Invention will be solved” in this specification. As described in the “Problems” and “Effects of the Invention” sections. According to the present invention, the confirmed freshness-keeping period of the eggplant enclosed in the inner package or the like is about 3 weeks, but the shelf life of the product is set to the 14th day after production with a margin. Is one of the options.

図11は本発明の茄子の浅漬けの製造方法を示す工程図で、特に第1実施例の「包装容器入り水茄子の糠床による浅漬け」に係るものである。しかし水茄子への下処理や、数度の洗浄、水茄子の鮮度保持等のために少・多糖類や乳酸菌などを添加すること、また消費者が容易に本漬け込みを開始できるようにするため複層の包装をとる点など、基本的な工程は各実施例間で大差はなく、代表してこの模式図に表される通りである。   FIG. 11 is a process diagram showing the method for manufacturing the pickled eggplant according to the present invention, and particularly relates to the “shallow pickling of the watered eggplant in the packaging container”. However, in order to make it easy for consumers to start full pickling, it is necessary to add oligosaccharides or lactic acid bacteria for pretreatment of water eggplant, washing several times, maintaining the freshness of water eggplant, etc. The basic process, such as the point of taking a multi-layer packaging, does not differ greatly between the respective examples, and is representatively shown in this schematic diagram.

すなわち本発明品を製造する場合、選果(S=ステップ10)された水茄子はまず第1次洗浄(S11)された後に、ミョウバン等によるナス紺の定着作業(S12)が行われる。次に余分なミョウバンを落とす目的からも第2次洗浄(S13)をし、水気を取った後に内包装の工程(S14)に入る。同工程は各実施例のところで記載した通りだが、第1ならびに第2実施例では水茄子を内包装するのに対して、第3実施例では内包装体の中に糠床が充填される点が異なる。ただしいずれの実施例の場合でも、内包装体が外容器の中に装填される前には、内包装体に対する流水による第3次の洗浄(S15)を行わなければならない。   That is, when the product of the present invention is manufactured, the water cocoon selected (S = step 10) is first washed (S11), and then the eggplant is fixed with alum (S12). Next, for the purpose of removing excess alum, the secondary cleaning (S13) is performed, and after the moisture is removed, the inner packaging step (S14) is started. This process is as described in each example. In the first and second examples, the water insulator is packaged in an inner package, whereas in the third example, the basket is filled in the inner package. Is different. However, in any of the embodiments, before the inner package is loaded into the outer container, the third cleaning (S15) with running water must be performed on the inner package.

洗浄された内包装体は次に外容器に装填(S=ステップ17)されるが、この作業と外容器への糠床や漬液の充填(S16)は、状況に応じて相前後する場合がありうる。そしてこの段階で製品としての計量を行い、糠床等の過不足を調整する(S18)。次に内包装体の中に、糖類や乳酸菌などの水溶液を充填する。寒天や不織布を封入する場合には茄子のヘタの部分を覆うように行う(S19)。そしてこの後に、第1実施例の場合には内包装体と外容器を同時に封止し(S20)、第2及び第3実施例の場合には外容器を封止(熱シール)する。なお実際の販売時には、温度変化に対する緩衝材として外容器の胴回りに薄手の段ボール紙か発砲スチロール製のシート(同製の袋であってもよい)を巻いた構成とする。なお第1実施例においては、これをさらにチャック付の透明袋に入れ、その開口部最端は安全面からも熱シール(S21)しておく。そして最終点検(S22)された後に製品が得られる。   The cleaned inner package is then loaded into the outer container (S = Step 17), and this operation and filling of the outer container and filling of the pickled liquid (S16) may be mixed in accordance with the situation. sell. At this stage, the product is weighed to adjust the excess or deficiency of the bed (S18). Next, the inner package is filled with an aqueous solution such as saccharides or lactic acid bacteria. When encapsulating agar or non-woven fabric, it is carried out so as to cover the portion of the eggplant (S19). After this, in the case of the first embodiment, the inner package and the outer container are simultaneously sealed (S20), and in the case of the second and third embodiments, the outer container is sealed (heat sealed). In actual sales, a thin corrugated paper or a foamed polystyrene sheet (or a bag made of the same) may be wound around the trunk of the outer container as a buffer against temperature changes. In the first embodiment, this is further put in a transparent bag with a chuck, and the end of the opening is heat-sealed (S21) from the viewpoint of safety. A product is obtained after the final inspection (S22).

本発明の茄子の浅漬け及びその製造方法は、上記の各実施例に示す他、以下に説明するように種々の態様に構成することができる。   In addition to the examples shown in the above embodiments, the shallow pickled coconut of the present invention and the manufacturing method thereof can be configured in various modes as described below.

本発明において、漬床や漬液と茄子との隔離状態を解除した後の漬け込み時間の短縮は、その際に糠床等と混じり合う糖類や乳酸菌の水溶液の働きにより、十分に目的を達せられる。しかしその所要時間をより短くするために、製造工程の冒頭(第1次洗浄の前)において、茄子の表皮に目視できない程に微細な無数の孔を開けておく方法がある。その手段として、馬毛などの細く柔かい天然毛を用いたブラシを用い、実施例で用いた水茄子の表皮をまんべんなくごく軽く叩く。なお使用するブラシは適時に新たに煮沸消毒されたものに取り替えられ、処理される水茄子毎にも弱アルコールの噴霧にて消毒することが好ましい。合繊毛のブラシでも可能だがは毛先が太く角ばっているものは本作業には向かない。またより簡便な方法として、極細目の製菓用のグラニュー糖を用いて、清潔な食品用手袋をはめた手で軽く手揉みすることも有効である。   In the present invention, the shortening of the soaking time after releasing the soaking bed or the segregation state between the soaking liquid and the eggplant can be sufficiently achieved by the action of the saccharide or lactic acid bacteria aqueous solution mixed with the soaking bed. However, in order to shorten the required time, there is a method in which innumerable fine holes are formed in the skin of the insulator at the beginning of the manufacturing process (before the first cleaning). As a means for this, a brush using thin and soft natural hair such as horse hair is used, and the epidermis of the chicken eggplant used in the examples is tapped evenly and lightly. In addition, it is preferable to replace the brush to be used with a newly boiled and disinfected at an appropriate time, and to disinfect each water insulator to be treated by spraying with weak alcohol. Synthetic bristle brushes are possible, but those with thick and rounded ends are not suitable for this work. As a simpler method, it is also effective to use a very fine granulated sugar for confectionery and gently rub it with a hand wearing clean food gloves.

上記のように茄子の表皮にごく微細な孔をつけても、本発明では水茄子と接する糖類や乳酸菌の溶液の働きにより、前記内包装体の中で水茄子の鮮度は必要期間保持される。なおこうした方法は、本発明以外の一般的な水茄子の浅漬け製品には向かない。理由は、表皮にごく微細な孔が開くことで早く漬かり過ぎてしまい、賞味期限が極端に短くなってしまうからである。対して利用者が食する時間を見計らって漬け込みを開始する本発明をもってはじめて、表皮のごく微細な孔の存在が好都合となる。   Even if very fine holes are made in the skin of the eggplant as described above, the freshness of the eggplant is maintained in the inner package for a necessary period by the action of the saccharide or lactic acid bacteria solution in contact with the eggplant. . In addition, such a method is not suitable for a general pickled product of water eggplant other than the present invention. The reason is that a very fine hole opens in the epidermis, so that it is soaked too quickly and the shelf life becomes extremely short. On the other hand, the presence of very fine pores in the epidermis is advantageous only with the present invention in which the user begins to soak in time for eating.

外容器5aは、各実施例においてポリエチレン製の規格袋や開閉自由なチャク付きの透明袋を使用したが、密封後の内部が外部の空気と遮断され、充填された漬床や漬液がこぼれ出ず、中から内包装体3を構成する袋状シート材3a等を引き出す際に、袋状シート材が引っ掛かったりして邪魔にならない構造を採りえるものであれば、外容器5aの材質や形は問わない。   As the outer container 5a, a polyethylene standard bag or a transparent bag with an openable / closable chuck is used in each embodiment. However, the sealed interior is shielded from the outside air, and the filled soaking bed and soaking liquid do not spill out. The material and shape of the outer container 5a are not limited so long as the bag-like sheet material can be caught and taken in when the bag-like sheet material 3a constituting the inner package 3 is pulled out. It doesn't matter.

本発明の各実施例において、袋状シート材3aはすべて樹脂製の袋を用いたが、これを透湿性の素材である例えば不織布製の袋状シート材に替えて構成することもできる。その場合には流通過程でも一部漬け込みが進行し、後にその不織布製の袋状シート材が排出される時をもって本格的な漬け込みが開始されることになる。   In each embodiment of the present invention, the bag-shaped sheet material 3a is a resin-made bag. However, the bag-shaped sheet material 3a can be configured by replacing it with a moisture-permeable material such as a non-woven bag-shaped sheet material. In that case, a part of the soaking progresses in the distribution process, and the soaking is started when the non-woven bag-like sheet material is discharged later.

本発明における茄子は、各実施例において何れもヘタを取らずカットもしていない丸のままの果実を用いたが、これをヘタを取りカットした果実を用いる場合も一部例外としてありうる。ただし少しでもカットした果実の場合は、別途に酸化防止のためにビタミンCなどの使用が考慮される。   The coconuts in the present invention used round fruits that were not cut or cut in any of the examples, but there may be some exceptions when using fruits that have been cut and cut. However, in the case of a fruit cut as much as possible, the use of vitamin C or the like is considered separately to prevent oxidation.

上記のヘタを取りカットした製品の一例として、従来品の様に1つの果実を数個に完全に分断するのではなく、消費者が最終的には手で裂いて食べるのを手助けする程度に僅かなカットに止めた製品が考えられる。すなわち、ヘタをカットした跡の丸い断面に、ナイフで4〜8等分に1〜2cmの長さの切れ込みを入れるにとどめたものである。これは水茄子の食べ方として、ヘタを取った跡から縦方向に手で裂いたものが素朴で好まれるといった風習(実際に舌触りが良くなる)をも考慮したためである。   As an example of a product that has been cut and cut, the fruit is not completely divided into several pieces as in the conventional product, but to the extent that it helps consumers to tear and eat by hand. A product with only a few cuts is considered. That is, a cut having a length of 1 to 2 cm is cut into 4 to 8 equal parts with a knife in the round cross section of the trace of the cut. This is because the manner in which Minamata was eaten also considered a custom (preferably improved tongue feel) that a thing that had been split by hand in the vertical direction from a trace that had been cut off was preferred.

なお上記のヘタをカットするなどした直後にアガロース例えば寒天や、ペクチン、マンナンなどの植物性繊維をもってカット面をコーティングし、この部分からの茄子の水分の蒸散を防ぐのも鮮度保持に有効である。   It is also effective for maintaining freshness to coat the cut surface with plant fibers such as agarose, agar, pectin, mannan, etc. immediately after cutting the above-mentioned scraps, and to prevent the transpiration of the eggplant water from this part. .

第1実施例や第2実施例の場合における茄子を内包した内包装体3の中には、少・多糖類などとともに、主に香り付けを目的としてハーブや柿の葉などの乾燥させて刻んだものを封入しても好適である。   In the inner package 3 containing the eggplant in the case of the first embodiment or the second embodiment, the herb and the bamboo leaf are dried and chopped mainly for the purpose of fragrance along with the oligosaccharides and the like. It is also preferable to enclose the waste.

漬床は米糠を用いた糠床2aに替えて、酒粕、麹、みりん粕、味噌、ワサビ、及び練り辛子などを主体とした漬床、あるいはこれらの混合物による漬床であってもよい。この場合における前記隔離状態の解除後の所要漬込み時間は、本発明とは別に考慮される。   The pickled bed may be a pickled bed mainly composed of sake lees, koji, mirin mushrooms, miso, wasabi, kneaded spices, etc., or a mixture of these, instead of the koji bed 2a using rice bran. The required soaking time after the release of the isolated state in this case is considered separately from the present invention.

漬液2bは、いわゆる塩分を主成分の1つとした漬液に替えて、酢類、ワイン、及び麹菌や乳酸菌による発酵液、などを主体とした漬液であってもよい。この場合における前記隔離状態の解除後の所要漬込み時間も、本発明とは別に考慮される。   The pickled liquid 2b may be a pickled liquid mainly composed of vinegars, wine, and a fermented liquid using koji molds or lactic acid bacteria, instead of a soaked liquid containing so-called salt as one of the main components. The required soaking time after the release of the isolated state in this case is also considered separately from the present invention.

本発明において、各実施例では1つの外容器に対して1つの茄子を使用したが、1つの外容器に複数の茄子を用いる場合もありうる。例えば、親指大の通称小茄子の浅漬けの場合には、数個を一まとめにして処理される。これを第1実施例に例えれば、袋状シート材3aの中に数個の小茄子を該袋状シート材を折り返しつつ内包し、糖類や乳酸菌の溶液が注入され、この内包装体3を外容器5aの中に糠床とともに封入する構造となる。小茄子の場合であっても、袋状シート材3aは折り返して2層に処理した方が格段にこれを小茄子群から引き離し易くなる。   In the present invention, in each embodiment, one insulator is used for one outer container, but a plurality of insulators may be used for one outer container. For example, in the case of a small-sized soy pickle of a thumb-sized name, several pieces are processed together. If this is compared to the first embodiment, several small cocoons are encased in the bag-like sheet material 3a while folding the bag-like sheet material, and a solution of saccharides or lactic acid bacteria is injected. The outer container 5a is enclosed together with the bed. Even in the case of a small insulator, the bag-like sheet material 3a is markedly more easily separated from the small insulator group when it is folded and processed into two layers.

また小茄子ではなく普通の大きさの茄子の場合であっても、複数の茄子を用いて応用は可能である。例えば樹脂性の食品密閉容器に糠を充填して糠床とし、その中に第1実施例で用いた袋状シート材3aの折り返して2層とした茄子の内包装体3を複数個装填するなどの方法が考えられる。この場合には不織布製などの落し蓋を糠床に被せ、袋状シート材の引っ張る部分をこの落し蓋の上部に乗せておけば、糠床に手を触れることなく漬け込みを開始できる。勿論当例のような場合も、内包装体の中には糖類や植物性乳酸菌などが封入される。   Further, even in the case of a normal size insulator instead of a small insulator, application is possible using a plurality of insulators. For example, a resin-based food hermetically sealed container is filled with rice cake to form a rice cake bed, and a plurality of the insulator inner packaging bodies 3 which are folded into two layers of the bag-like sheet material 3a used in the first embodiment are loaded therein. Such a method is conceivable. In this case, if a covering lid made of non-woven fabric or the like is placed on the floor and the portion where the bag-like sheet material is pulled is placed on the top of the flooring, the soaking can be started without touching the floor. Of course, also in the case of this example, saccharides, plant lactic acid bacteria, etc. are enclosed in the inner package.

本発明の第3実施例のような場合には、糠床の詰められた内包装体を、外容器の外側から串のようなものを用いて突いて破り、糠床と外容器内の茄子及びその他溶液を混ぜ合わすことは可能である。開けた穴が小さくても、糠床は塩分濃度の差による浸透圧の働きにより外容器内の溶液と次第に混ざる。本発明における漬床や漬液に直接手を触れることなく茄子と漬床等の隔離状態を解除する手段とは、例えばこの串のような道具を事前に準備して製品に付属されるを含む概念である。   In the case of the third embodiment of the present invention, the inner package packed with the cocoon bed is broken from the outside of the outer container by using a skewer to break the cocoon bed and the insulator in the outer container. And other solutions can be mixed. Even if the drilled hole is small, the bed is gradually mixed with the solution in the outer container due to the osmotic pressure due to the difference in salinity. In the present invention, the means for releasing the isolated state of the eggplant and the pickled bed without directly touching the pickled bed or the pickled solution is a concept including, for example, preparing a tool like this skewer in advance and being attached to the product. .

本発明の茄子の浅漬け及びその製造方法は、水茄子をはじめとして浅漬けに適した全国の茄子の漬物に利用が可能である。本発明によれば、本発明によるいずれの製品も製造後少なくとも3週間を経過する日までの間であれば、この間何時でも簡単な操作を手を汚さず行うことにより美味しい浅漬けを手軽に楽しむことができる。賞味期限は、前記の通り余裕をみて3週間より1週短い2週間とした場合でも、例えば従来の袋詰め水茄子の浅漬け製品の賞味期限が大抵1週間(実際には1週間の後半は漬かり過ぎで辛くなり、そのままでは食べられない)であることに比べると、大きな効果である。特に複数の袋詰め茄子の浅漬け製品を、箱に詰めて贈答品としてやり取りする場合には、従来のように利用者のもとに到着後2〜3日のうちに食べきらなくてはならないといった問題点が当発明品では解消される。水茄子をはじめに、浅漬けに適した茄子は各地の特産品であることが多い。冷蔵の宅配便の普及とも相まって、その浅漬け製品を箱詰めの贈答品としてやり取りする機会は今後も増加が予測される。本発明による製品は、これを贈られた側だけでなく、贈り手や、そして製造者や販売者の各々にも大変喜ばれると考えられる。   The shallow pickled aubergine of the present invention and the method for producing the same can be used for pickled aubergine pickles nationwide suitable for the shallow pickle including the water aubergine. According to the present invention, any product according to the present invention can be easily enjoyed with delicious shallow pickles by performing simple operations without messing hands at any time during the period until at least 3 weeks have passed since manufacture. be able to. Even if the shelf life is 2 weeks, which is shorter than 3 weeks to allow for a margin as described above, for example, the shelf life of the traditional pickled product of bagged water eggplant is usually 1 week (actually, the second half of the week is This is a great effect compared to being too spicy to pickle and not being eaten as is. In particular, when multiple pickled eggplant products are packed and exchanged as gifts, they must be eaten within 2 to 3 days after arrival to the user as before. Such a problem is solved by the present invention. In addition to water cocoons, lions that are suitable for pickling are often local specialties. Coupled with the spread of refrigerated courier services, opportunities to exchange the pickled products as boxed gifts are expected to increase in the future. The product according to the present invention is considered to be greatly appreciated not only by the person who gave it, but also by the giver and each manufacturer and seller.
