カカオ豆は種類、産地、栽培する土地の土壌および気候条件により風味が異なり、特に原種といわれ中南米で栽培されるクリオロ種は独特の香りを有しており、フレーバービーンズとして珍重されている。しかし、クリオロ種は病害虫に非常に弱く栽培量も少ないため希少価値が高く高価である。   Cocoa beans have different flavors depending on the type, production area, soil and climatic conditions of the land to be cultivated, and especially the criollo cultivated in Central and South America, which is said to be the original species, has a unique aroma and is prized as a flavor bean. However, the criollo species is very vulnerable to pests and has a small amount of cultivation, so it is rare and expensive.

そこで、カカオ豆の代わりに、製菓用に流通しているカカオ原料(カカオニブ、カカオマス、ココアパウダー等)を用い、該カカオ原料を酵素処理して旨みの強い酵素処理物を製造する方法が提案されている。   Therefore, a method has been proposed in which a cocoa raw material (cocoa nibs, cocoa mass, cocoa powder, etc.) distributed for confectionery is used in place of cocoa beans and the cocoa raw material is enzymatically treated to produce an enzyme-treated product having a strong taste. ing.

1.酵素処理の有無によるカカオ発酵処理液の風味評価
(実施例1〜3)
表1に示す原料のうち、水、カカオマス(大東カカオ(株)製)および砂糖を50℃で溶解・混合し、90℃で加熱殺菌した後、実施例1〜3の各酵素を添加し、55℃で4時間酵素処理を行い、次いで90℃で加熱殺菌して酵素を失活させた。続いて、前記酵素処理工程で得られた酵素処理液に表1に示す乳酸菌スターターと酵母スターターを接種し、30℃で16時間発酵処理を行い、次いで90℃で10分間加熱して乳酸菌と酵母を殺菌して、カカオ発酵処理液を得た。
1. Flavor evaluation of cocoa fermentation treatment liquid with and without enzyme treatment (Examples 1 to 3)
Among the raw materials shown in Table 1, water, cacao mass (manufactured by Daito Cacao Co., Ltd.) and sugar are dissolved and mixed at 50 ° C., heat-sterilized at 90 ° C., and then each enzyme of Examples 1 to 3 is added. The enzyme treatment was performed at 55 ° C. for 4 hours, and then the enzyme was inactivated by heat sterilization at 90 ° C. Subsequently, the lactic acid bacteria starter and yeast starter shown in Table 1 were inoculated into the enzyme treatment solution obtained in the enzyme treatment step, subjected to fermentation treatment at 30 ° C. for 16 hours, and then heated at 90 ° C. for 10 minutes to lactic acid bacteria and yeast. Was sterilized to obtain a cacao fermentation treatment solution.

(比較例1)
表1に示す原料のうち、水、カカオマス(大東カカオ(株)製)および砂糖を50℃で溶解・混合し、90℃で加熱殺菌した後、酵素処理およびその後の加熱殺菌をしないこと以外は実施例1〜3と同様の方法で発酵処理工程を行い、カカオ発酵処理液を得た。
(Comparative Example 1)
Of the raw materials shown in Table 1, water, cacao mass (manufactured by Daito Cacao Co., Ltd.) and sugar are dissolved and mixed at 50 ° C., heat sterilized at 90 ° C., and then not subjected to enzyme treatment and subsequent heat sterilization.

(評価)
表2より、発酵処理前後のpHを比較すると、実施例1〜3は比較例1と比べて発酵処理後のpHの低下が大きく、発酵がより進行しているものと考えられた。
また、表3は、カカオ発酵処理液の官能評価結果を示したものである(モニター数:9名)。表3から、実施例1〜3で得られたカカオ発酵処理液は、酵素処理工程を行わなかった比較例1で得られたカカオ発酵処理液よりも風味変化が大きく、甘味や旨味が付与されていた。したがって、発酵処理工程で乳酸菌と酵母を使用する場合でも、得られるカカオ発酵処理液に甘味や旨味を付与するには、発酵処理工程の前に酵素処理工程を行う必要があることが分かった。
(Evaluation)
From Table 2, when the pH before and after the fermentation treatment was compared, Examples 1 to 3 had a greater decrease in pH after the fermentation treatment than Comparative Example 1, and it was considered that fermentation was progressing more.
Table 3 shows the sensory evaluation results of the cacao fermentation treatment solution (number of monitors: 9). From Table 3, the cocoa fermentation treatment liquid obtained in Examples 1 to 3 has a larger flavor change than the cocoa fermentation treatment liquid obtained in Comparative Example 1 in which the enzyme treatment step was not performed, and is given sweetness and umami. It was. Therefore, even when lactic acid bacteria and yeast are used in the fermentation treatment step, it has been found that the enzyme treatment step needs to be performed before the fermentation treatment step in order to impart sweetness and umami to the obtained cacao fermentation treatment solution.

2.乳酸菌の種類を変えて調製したカカオ発酵処理液の加糖品の風味評価
(参考例1〜6)
表4に示す原料のうち、水、カカオマス(大東カカオ(株)製)および砂糖を50℃で溶解・混合し、90℃で加熱殺菌した後、参考例1〜6の複合酵素を添加し、55℃で4時間酵素処理を行い、次いで90℃で加熱殺菌して複合酵素を失活させた。続いて、前記酵素処理工程で得られた酵素処理液に表4に示す各種乳酸菌スターターを接種し、30℃で16時間発酵処理を行い、次いで90℃で10分間加熱して乳酸菌を殺菌して、カカオ発酵処理液を得た。そして、表5に示すように、得られたカカオ発酵処理液に室温下で水と砂糖を添加・混合して、カカオ発酵処理液の加糖品を得た。
2. Flavor evaluation of sweetened products of cocoa fermentation treatment liquid prepared by changing the type of lactic acid bacteria (Reference Examples 1 to 6)
Among the raw materials shown in Table 4, water, cacao mass (manufactured by Daito Cacao Co., Ltd.) and sugar are dissolved and mixed at 50 ° C., heat sterilized at 90 ° C., and then the complex enzymes of Reference Examples 1 to 6 are added. The enzyme treatment was performed at 55 ° C. for 4 hours, and then heat sterilized at 90 ° C. to deactivate the complex enzyme. Subsequently, the enzyme treatment solution obtained in the enzyme treatment step was inoculated with various lactic acid bacteria starters shown in Table 4, fermented at 30 ° C. for 16 hours, and then heated at 90 ° C. for 10 minutes to sterilize the lactic acid bacteria. A cacao fermentation treatment solution was obtained. And as shown in Table 5, water and sugar were added and mixed with the obtained cacao fermentation processing liquid at room temperature, and the sweetened | cured product of the cacao fermentation processing liquid was obtained.

(評価)
表6より、乳酸菌による発酵処理前後のpHをみると、使用した乳酸菌の種類によってpHの低下度合が異なり、特に参考例3と参考例4では、pHがほとんど低下していないことが分かる。
(Evaluation)
From Table 6, it can be seen that when the pH before and after the fermentation treatment with lactic acid bacteria is observed, the degree of pH decrease differs depending on the type of lactic acid bacteria used, and in particular, Reference Example 3 and Reference Example 4 have almost no pH decrease.

表7は、前記「1.酵素処理の有無によるカカオ発酵処理液の風味評価」と同様の方法を用いて、得られたカカオ発酵処理液の加糖品の官能評価結果を示したものである。表7より、ヨーグルトなどに用いられるストレプトコッカス・サーモフィルス、ラクトバチルス・ブルガリカス、ラクトバチルス・アシドフィルスでは、香りと酸味に欠け、そのため風味変化が少ない結果となった(参考例3,4を参照)。他の乳酸菌については、香りと酸味の変化が大きく、それぞれ特徴ある発酵風味を示すことが分かった(参考例1,2,5,6を参照)。これらの中でも、特にラクトバチルス・プランタラムを使用したものが好ましい結果となった(参考例1,2を参照)。
上記の試験は、乳酸菌の接種および発酵による風味変化をみるため、酵母を接種せず行ったものであるが、全ての乳酸菌が適用可能なわけではなく、適切な乳酸菌を選択する必要があることが分かった。
Table 7 shows the sensory evaluation results of the sweetened product of the obtained cocoa fermentation treatment liquid using the same method as in “1. Flavor evaluation of cocoa fermentation treatment liquid with and without enzyme treatment”. From Table 7, the Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Lactobacillus acidophilus used for yogurt and the like lacked the aroma and acidity, and thus the flavor change was small (see Reference Examples 3 and 4). . About other lactic acid bacteria, it turned out that the change of fragrance and sourness is large, and each shows a characteristic fermentation flavor (refer to reference examples 1, 2, 5, and 6). Among these, those using Lactobacillus plantarum were particularly preferable (see Reference Examples 1 and 2).
The above test was conducted without inoculating yeast in order to see the flavor change due to inoculation and fermentation of lactic acid bacteria, but not all lactic acid bacteria are applicable, and it is necessary to select appropriate lactic acid bacteria I understood.

3.酵母の種類を変えて調製したカカオ発酵処理液の加糖・濃縮品を添加したチョコレートの風味評価
(実施例4,5)
表8に示す原料のうち、水、カカオマス(大東カカオ(株)製)および砂糖を50℃で溶解・混合し、90℃で加熱殺菌した後、実施例4,5の複合酵素を添加し、55℃で4時間酵素処理を行い、次いで90℃で加熱殺菌して複合酵素を失活させた。続いて、前記酵素処理工程で得られた酵素処理液に表8に示す乳酸菌スターターと酵母スターターを接種し、30℃で16時間発酵処理を行い、次いで90℃で10分間加熱して乳酸菌と酵母を殺菌して、カカオ発酵処理液を得た。そして、表5に示すように、得られたカカオ発酵処理液に室温下で水と砂糖を添加・混合して、カカオ発酵処理液の加糖品を調製し、さらにこれを1.5倍濃縮した加糖・濃縮品を既製品のチョコレートに10重量%添加・混合してチョコレートを製造した。
3. Flavor evaluation of chocolate added with sweetened and concentrated cocoa fermentation solution prepared by changing the type of yeast (Examples 4 and 5)
Among the raw materials shown in Table 8, water, cacao mass (manufactured by Daito Cacao Co., Ltd.) and sugar are dissolved and mixed at 50 ° C., heat-sterilized at 90 ° C., and then the complex enzymes of Examples 4 and 5 are added. The enzyme treatment was performed at 55 ° C. for 4 hours, and then heat sterilized at 90 ° C. to deactivate the complex enzyme. Subsequently, the lactic acid bacteria starter and yeast starter shown in Table 8 were inoculated into the enzyme treatment solution obtained in the enzyme treatment step, subjected to fermentation treatment at 30 ° C. for 16 hours, and then heated at 90 ° C. for 10 minutes to lactic acid bacteria and yeast. Was sterilized to obtain a cacao fermentation treatment solution. Then, as shown in Table 5, water and sugar were added to and mixed with the obtained cacao fermentation treatment liquid at room temperature to prepare a sweetened product of the cacao fermentation treatment liquid, and this was further concentrated 1.5 times. The sweetened and concentrated product was added to and mixed with 10% by weight of the ready-made chocolate to produce chocolate.

(比較例2)
実施例4,5の発酵処理工程において、酵母を添加しないこと以外は、実施例4,5と同様の方法でチョコレートを製造した。
