Description

  The present invention relates to a stabilizer using crystalline cellulose for stably dispersing food components and the like and preventing sedimentation when dispersing and processing food components and the like in water. Specifically, the present invention relates to an easily dispersible stabilizer that can be easily redispersed and stabilized without using special redispersing equipment, and a powder food or liquid food using the same.

  Conventionally, crystalline cellulose has been widely used as a dispersion stabilizer for the purpose of improving the suspension stability of food, improving the emulsion stability, or using it as a cloudy agent. Moreover, it is preferably used because it has a low viscosity and hardly affects the texture.

  By the way, in order for crystalline cellulose to exhibit the effect of improving suspension stability and emulsion stability in foods, crystalline cellulose particles must be present in water with an average particle size of 20 μm or less (for example, (See Patent Document 1), simply adding crystalline cellulose to water usually results in insufficient dispersion and the average particle size exceeds 20 μm. Therefore, in the manufacture of crystalline cellulose products, a process for reducing the particle size by sufficient grinding is often performed.

However, even if the particle size is once reduced, the final drying step causes aggregation and keratinization of the crystalline cellulose, and as a result, the average particle size is not sufficiently redispersed when introduced into water. The actual situation was that it became substantially larger. Even if such a crystalline cellulose product is added as it is in the production process of foods or the like, it is difficult to re-disperse to an average particle size of 20 μm or less with a light agitation.
Therefore, conventionally, when using crystalline cellulose products for foods, etc., specially such as high-pressure homogenizers and high-speed agitators that can be ground with strong shearing force before or after compounding the crystalline cellulose products into foods, etc. Usually, the re-dispersion treatment of the crystalline cellulose is performed using a simple facility (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

  However, in powdered foods such as cocoa that are dispersed in water by hand stirring using a spoon or the like, it is impossible to use equipment such as a high-pressure homogenizer at the time of dispersion in each household. Moreover, even a user who specially manufactures foods and the like manufactured with an apparatus having a relatively low shearing force, such as a propeller stirrer, usually does not have such special equipment. Therefore, it is practically difficult to use such excellent functions as the suspension stability and emulsion stability of crystalline cellulose in such foods.

  As one of attempts to solve this problem, a stabilizer containing colloidal microcrystalline cellulose, starch and a non-thickening, water-soluble binder is disclosed (for example, see Patent Document 3). However, since starch, which is an essential component for improving dispersibility, dissolves in water, there is a problem that a pasty feeling is produced when used in foods and the mouthfeel of the foods becomes poor.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-56960 JP-A-6-335348 JP-A-2-39855

  An object of the present invention is to provide an easy dispersion stabilizer that can be easily redispersed by a relatively light stirring operation such as manual stirring and that can exhibit suspension stability and emulsion stability.

  In the first aspect of the present invention, the crystalline cellulose composite and saccharide are dispersed and dissolved in water at a ratio exceeding 1 part by weight of the saccharide and less than 2 parts by weight with respect to 1 part by weight of the crystalline cellulose composite, and then high pressure. It is an easy dispersion stabilizer characterized by being obtained by grinding with a homogenizer under a pressure condition of 4 MPa or more and 150 MPa or less and then drying. A second aspect of the invention is a powdered food containing the above-mentioned easy dispersion stabilizer. A third aspect of the invention is a liquid food containing the above-described easy dispersion stabilizer.

  The easy-dispersion stabilizer of the present invention can be easily re-dispersed by hand stirring with a spoon or the like when it is put into water. When used in powdered foods such as cocoa, the suspension stability of water-insoluble components is improved and precipitation is suppressed. In addition, in a liquid food such as a soup produced by a device having a relatively weak shearing force such as a propeller stirrer, emulsification stability is improved and oil separation is suppressed.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail. As a result of diligent research to solve the above problems, the inventors used at least three components of crystalline cellulose, a water-soluble gum and a saccharide, and the saccharide was added to 1 part by weight of the crystalline cellulose and the water-soluble gum. By using a relatively large amount in the range of more than 1 part by weight to 30 parts by weight, dissolving and dispersing them in water, and then grinding by applying a strong shearing force under specific pressure conditions, followed by drying When the resulting stabilizer is again dispersed and dissolved in water, it is easily dispersed even under stirring conditions with weak shearing force such as hand stirring. In that case, the average particle size of the dispersed crystalline cellulose is 20 μm or less. It has been found that the desired suspension stability and emulsion stability can be obtained. In addition, by blending this easy-dispersion stabilizer into powdered foods and liquid foods, it is manufactured using equipment with low shearing force, such as suspension stability of powdered foods that are manually stirred with a spoon and a propeller stirrer. It has been found that the emulsion stability of liquid foods is improved.

  The crystalline cellulose used for the easy dispersion stabilizer is a crystalline cellulose obtained by hydrolyzing natural cellulose such as wood pulp, and refers to a crystalline part exceeding 10% by weight (crystallinity exceeding 10%). In addition, a crystalline part means the part which produces the peak of Bragg reflection with respect to the amorphous part which produces a background in X-ray diffraction. By using such crystalline cellulose, characteristics such as suspension stability and emulsification stability can be exhibited when an easy-dispersion stabilizer is added to foods and the like. Preferably the crystallinity is 30% or more, more preferably 50% or more.

  In addition, in order to facilitate dispersion in water during redispersion, the crystalline cellulose is a slurry that has been hydrolyzed and is not yet dried, or a slurry that has been ground after hydrolysis. And used in an undried state. The reason for using an undried and wet state is to avoid the generation of strong hydrogen bonds between cellulose particles that occur once through the dry state and to ensure easy dispersibility during redispersion.

In addition, when the dried cellulose is used as a crystalline cellulose, it is mixed in advance with a relatively small amount of a water-soluble gum or saccharide described later in an undried slurry state after hydrolysis of the crystalline cellulose, and then dried. A crystalline cellulose composite obtained in this manner may be used. It is possible to use such a crystalline cellulose composite by mixing the water-soluble gum described later or mixing a relatively small amount of a sugar described below and then drying, so that the hydrogen associated with the drying of the crystalline cellulose. This is because the occurrence of coupling is hindered. In addition, when using a cellulose composite, the mass ratio of each component of a cellulose composite may be in the range of the mass ratio in the case of setting it as the below-mentioned easy-dispersion stabilizer, and may be removed. Is preferably in the range of crystalline cellulose: water-soluble gum or saccharide = 50: 50 to 95: 5 (100 in total).

  As a crystalline cellulose composite that can be used, for example, RC-591 under the trade name Theolas (registered trademark) manufactured by Asahi Kasei Chemicals Corporation may be mentioned. Examples of those containing a small amount of dextrin in advance include RC-N81 and RC-N30 of the trade name Theolas (registered trademark) manufactured by Asahi Kasei Chemicals Corporation. In any case, the dextrin content is 90 parts by weight or less with respect to 100 parts by weight of the crystalline cellulose composite.

  The water-soluble gum used for the easy-dispersion stabilizer is not particularly limited as long as it is naturally produced or is water-swellable or water-soluble and has a thickening property obtained by a fermentation method or the like. By using the water-soluble gum, it is possible to compensate for a decrease in the ratio of crystalline cellulose in the easy-dispersion stabilizer and to maintain high suspension stability and emulsion stability.

  As the water-soluble gum, polysaccharides having good compatibility with crystalline cellulose and water are preferable. Examples include gum, gellan gum, pectin, quince and the like.

  The blending amount of the water-soluble gum is preferably 0.1 to 20 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of crystalline cellulose. In this range, the suspension stability and the emulsion stability are clearly improved, while the increase in viscosity remains within an appropriate range. More preferably, it is 0.5 to 15 parts by weight. More preferably, it is 1 to 10 parts by weight.

  A relatively large amount of saccharide is added to the easy dispersion stabilizer. By blending saccharides, the redispersibility is improved, while the effects of suspension stability and emulsion stability due to crystalline cellulose can be expressed. Here, a relatively large amount means a ratio of more than 1 part by weight and 30 parts by weight or less with respect to 1 part by weight of the total of crystalline cellulose and water-soluble gum. If the saccharide exceeds 1 part by weight, the redispersibility when using an easy-dispersion stabilizer is improved, and suspension stability and emulsification stability can be expressed when blended in foods. If the proportion is 30 parts by weight or less, the redispersibility will be good, and the functions required of crystalline cellulose will be fully expressed, and when an easy-dispersing stabilizer is added to the food, etc., the taste and mouthfeel of the food It is hard to affect. The ratio is preferably 2 parts by weight or more and 20 parts by weight or less, more preferably 3 parts by weight or more and 10 parts by weight or less.

  Examples of saccharides that can be blended include water-soluble saccharides such as monosaccharides, oligosaccharides, and dextrins. Among the saccharides, dextrin is preferable from the viewpoint of sweetness, productivity, and the like, more preferably dextrin having DE (degree of saccharification of starch) of 5 to 40.

  Thus, the easy-dispersion stabilizer needs to mix a relatively large amount of saccharides with respect to the total of crystalline cellulose and water-soluble gum. The reason why the redispersibility of the crystalline cellulose is improved by this is not certain, but in the drying process after grinding in the production method described later, a relatively large amount of saccharide wraps up the crystalline cellulose, so that the crystalline celluloses are It is speculated that by separating them from each other, hydrogen bonds between the crystalline celluloses are less likely to occur and the keratinization is less likely to occur. On the other hand, since the ratio of crystalline cellulose in the easy-dispersion stabilizer is reduced by blending saccharides in a relatively large amount in this way, the effect of suspension stability and emulsion stability derived from crystalline cellulose is greatly reduced. Although it was expected, it was surprisingly only a slight decline.

  In addition to the above three components, other components may be mixed with the easy dispersion stabilizer as long as the effect of the easy dispersion stabilizer is not impaired. Examples of other components include starches, fats and oils, proteins, peptides, amino acids, surfactants, preservatives, shelf life improvers, pH adjusters, salt, various phosphate salts, emulsifiers, acidity Ingredients such as additives, sweeteners, fragrances, pigments, antifoaming agents, foaming agents, antibacterial agents, and disintegrating agents may be appropriately blended.

  Next, the manufacturing method of the easy dispersion stabilizer using each said component is demonstrated. First, the above crystalline cellulose, water-soluble gum and saccharide are dispersed and dissolved in water. In this case, it is preferable to adjust the respective amounts including water so that the combined concentration of crystalline cellulose, water-soluble gum, saccharide and other components is 1% by weight or more and 70% by weight or less. Within this range, the handleability of the aqueous dispersion is good, the productivity is high, and the subsequent drying energy load remains in an acceptable range. More preferably, they are 3 weight% or more and 65 weight% or less, Most preferably, they are 5 weight% or more and 60 weight% or less.

  The aqueous dispersion is then ground using a high pressure homogenizer. A high-pressure homogenizer is a device that pressurizes raw materials (liquid or liquid and solid) and pulverizes, disperses, and emulsifies using shearing force when passing through gaps (slits). For example, trade name: Nanomizer ( Examples include devices such as Nanomizer Co., Ltd., trade name: Microfluidizer (Microfluidics Co., Ltd.), trade name: Alite (Nirososovi Co., Ltd.), and trade name: APV homogenizer (manufactured by APV).

  The operation of the high-pressure homogenizer is performed in an operating pressure range of 4 MPa to 150 MPa. By setting the pressure to 4 MPa or more, the grinding is sufficiently performed, and the suspension stability and the emulsion stability are improved. Although it is possible to operate at a pressure exceeding 150 MPa, the improvement in suspension stability and emulsification stability is at the peak for a corresponding apparatus that is expensive and expensive. Preferably they are 8 MPa or more and 100 MPa or less, More preferably, they are 10 MPa or more and 80 MPa or less.

  By this high-pressure homogenizer treatment, the average particle size of the crystalline cellulose can be reduced to 20 μm or less. Note that the number of passes of the high-pressure homogenizer may be one, but a plurality of passes may be used. Moreover, you may add the process process by another apparatus which requires high shearing force, such as a high-speed stirrer, to the process before or after a high pressure homogenizer process.

  The dispersion of each component in water and the high-pressure homogenizer treatment may be performed by mixing all the components as described above, but each component is dispersed in water, and each component is polished by a high-pressure homogenizer. A crushing treatment is performed, and then all components may be mixed uniformly using a high-pressure homogenizer, a high-speed stirrer, or various mills.

  The composition thus obtained is finally dried. Thereby, each component is compounded. Although the reason is unknown due to the compounding, when the compounded powder is reintroduced into water, the dispersion characteristics in water are greatly improved. The drying method may be any general drying method used in the food industry such as spray drying, and specific examples include spray drying, freeze drying, drum drying and the like. Moreover, what is necessary is just to select suitably the drying conditions suitable for each drying method. The dried product thus obtained can be subjected to a pulverization treatment or a classification treatment as required, and the intended easy dispersion stabilizer can be obtained.

In addition, the average particle diameter of the crystalline cellulose in the case of redispersing the easy-dispersion stabilizer is obtained by using a laser diffraction scattering type particle size distribution measuring device (trade name: LA910, manufactured by HORIBA, Ltd.) with an integrated volume of 50%. The particle size can be determined as the average particle size. A dispersion of an easy dispersion stabilizer suitable for this measurement is obtained by adding 5 g of easy dispersion stabilizer while stirring 495 g of tap water (25 ° C.) at 400 rpm using a propeller stirrer, and further stirring for 10 minutes. be able to.

  Next, a food suitable for using the easy dispersion stabilizer will be described. The easy dispersion stabilizer is preferably used for powdered foods or liquid foods. This is because these foods are usually used by being mixed by stirring such as manual stirring, or manufactured without using high shearing force such as a high-pressure homogenizer.

  The term “powdered food” as used herein refers to food that is sold in powder form and used by being poured into water at various temperatures when used for food or drinking. Examples thereof include powdered foods such as powdered cocoa, powdered coffee, powdered tea such as green tea, powdered foods such as powdered soup and powdered ramen soup, and powdered health foods including physiologically active material powder, vegetable powder and spice powder. Further, the liquid food means food that is manufactured through dispersion / stirring using propeller stirring or the like with relatively weak shearing force, and is sold in a liquid state. For example, sauce, dressing, soup, ramen soup and the like can be mentioned. By using an easy-dispersion stabilizer for these foods, foods that are easily redispersible but excellent in suspension stability or emulsion stability can be obtained.

  In order to produce a powdered food containing an easily dispersible stabilizer, the above easily dispersible stabilizer may be added to a conventional powdered food in an amount of 0.1 to 99% by weight and exhibit necessary characteristics. . Similarly, in order to produce a liquid food containing an easily dispersible stabilizer, in the step of adding a liquid seasoning or the like of a raw material used for the liquid food and mixing and stirring with a propeller stirrer, etc., 0.1 What is necessary is just to mix and stir until the quantity which exhibits a required characteristic in the range of -70weight% is added, and also an easy dispersion stabilizer disperse | distributes uniformly.
