Description

本発明は、膨化スナックのような多孔質の食品に糖被覆を施すことにより、膨化スナック等の有するサクッとした軽い食感と外側の糖被覆が有するカリッとした硬い食感を共存させたスナック食品及びその製造方法に関する。   The present invention provides a snack in which a porous food such as a puffed snack is coated with a sugar so that the crispy light texture of the puffed snack and the crispy and hard texture of the outer sugar coating coexist. The present invention relates to a food and a manufacturing method thereof.

従来、トウモロコシ等の澱粉原料をエクストルーダーで膨化処理する、膨化したスナック食品を製造する方法が知られていた。このような膨化したスナック食品としては、サクサクとした軽い食感を有するもの、膨化の程度を抑えてバリバリとした固い食感に仕上げたもの、表面にチョコレートコートや糖衣を形成させたもの等、様々なものが市販されている。
ところで、菓子類への甘味の付与にあたっては、砂糖が汎用されており、菓子類に独特の甘味や食感を付与する試みがなされてきた。
ここで菓子類に糖被覆を施す手段としては、以下の方法が知られている。
例えば、特公昭38−16708号公報には、ポップコーン等の食品と、加熱により溶融キャンディに変化する糖質組成物を有する微粉砕された被覆用粉末とをタンブルさせて被覆用粉末を食品の表面に分散させ、加熱により食品片の表面に被覆用粉末を融合付着させ、さらに実質的に均一かつ完全な被覆を形成するまでタンブル及び加熱を続ける方法が開示されている。また、中心層に糖質の層と酸味料の層が交互に積層されている糖衣層を有し、該糖衣層の外表面に油分を含むキャンディ層を有する糖衣物の製造方法や(特開2011−45322号公報(特許第5233913号))、加熱処理を施すことにより製造される食品の表面に結晶水を含む糖を介在させて粉体原料を固着させる方法(特開平3−285645号公報(特許第2637602))が知られている。
Conventionally, a method for producing a puffed snack food, in which a starch raw material such as corn is puffed with an extruder, has been known. Such swollen snack foods, such as those that have a light texture that is crispy, those that finish with a solid texture that suppresses the degree of expansion, those that have a chocolate coat or sugar coating formed on the surface, etc. Various things are commercially available.
By the way, sugar is widely used for imparting sweetness to confectionery, and attempts have been made to impart unique sweetness and texture to confectionery.
Here, the following methods are known as means for applying sugar coating to confectionery.
For example, in Japanese Patent Publication No. 38-16708, food such as popcorn and finely pulverized coating powder having a saccharide composition that changes into a molten candy by heating are tumbled to form the coating powder on the surface of the food. A method is disclosed in which the coating powder is fused and adhered to the surface of the food piece by heating, and the tumble and heating are continued until a substantially uniform and complete coating is formed. In addition, a sugar-coated product having a sugar-coated layer in which a sugar layer and a sour agent layer are alternately laminated in the center layer, and a candy layer containing an oil component on the outer surface of the sugar-coated layer, 2011-45322 (Patent No. 5233913)), a method of fixing a powder raw material by interposing sugar containing crystallization water on the surface of a food produced by heat treatment (JP-A-3-285645). (Patent No. 2,637,602)) is known.

特公昭38−16708号公報Japanese Examined Patent Publication No. 38-16708 特開2011−45322号公報JP 2011-45322 A 特開平3−285645号公報JP-A-3-285645

特公昭38−16708号公報に開示される方法においては、食品表面に糖粉末を融解させると同時に付着させるため、140〜232℃の加熱温度を提供できる高温の熱気ブロアーを要し、均一な融解被覆を形成するためにヒートガン等の特殊な装置が必要となる。また、融解した糖を食品に均等にコーティングし、かつ融解した糖による食品同士の結着はタンブラーを回転させることにより回避しなければならず、回転が食品に与える負荷が比較的大きい。よってこの方法は略球形を有し比較的強度がある食品に対しては適用しやすいが、略球形以外の定型を有する食品や多孔質の比較的脆い膨化食品に対しては、割れが発生する可能性が高く不向きである。また当該文献においては、コーティング粉末として、各種の糖から濃厚シロップを作り、次にこれを冷却して微粉状にしたものを使用している。このように糖液を固化したものは微粉砕化が困難であり、かつ作製された粉末は吸湿性で粉末の塊を形成し易く、ハンドリング性に欠ける。なお、上記文献においては、コーティング粉末の微粉粒子の結着防止の観点からバター等の油性材料を糖コーティング組成物中に含めることが好ましいこと、及びキャンディコーティングされた食品同士の結着防止の観点からコーティング後半にバターを加える旨が記載されている。このような方法だと、食品表面の油性材料により喫食時に手が汚れるという問題がある。
以上のように、膨化スナックのような多孔質の脆い食品の外側に糖被覆を施すことにより、膨化スナック等の有するサクッとした軽い食感と外側の糖被覆が有するカリッとした硬い食感を共存させたスナック食品、及びその製造方法であって複雑な装置を必要としない簡易な方法はこれまで知られていない。
本発明では、膨化食品に被覆した糖を溶融後冷却してガラス化させることにより、手が汚れず程よい硬質な歯当たりの食感を有し、かつ食品同士の結着がないスナック食品、及び複雑な工程を経ず短時間で上記スナック食品を製造する方法を提供することを目的とする。
In the method disclosed in Japanese Examined Patent Publication No. 38-16708, a high-temperature hot air blower capable of providing a heating temperature of 140 to 232 ° C. is required for melting and adhering the sugar powder to the food surface at the same time. A special device such as a heat gun is required to form the coating. Further, the melted sugar is evenly coated on the food, and the binding between the foods by the melted sugar must be avoided by rotating the tumbler, and the load that the rotation gives to the food is relatively large. Therefore, this method is easy to apply to foods having a substantially spherical shape and relatively strong strength, but cracking occurs for foods having a fixed shape other than a substantially spherical shape and porous, relatively fragile, puffed foods. Most likely unsuitable. In this document, as the coating powder, a concentrated syrup is prepared from various sugars, and then cooled to a fine powder. Such a solidified sugar solution is difficult to pulverize, and the produced powder is hygroscopic and easily forms a lump of powder, and lacks handling properties. In the above document, it is preferable to include an oily material such as butter in the sugar coating composition from the viewpoint of preventing the binding of fine powder particles of the coating powder, and from the viewpoint of preventing the binding between candy-coated foods. In the latter half of the coating, it is stated that butter is added. With such a method, there is a problem that the hand becomes dirty at the time of eating due to the oily material on the surface of the food.
As described above, by applying a sugar coating to the outside of porous brittle foods such as puffed snacks, the crunchy light texture of puffed snacks and the crispy and hard texture of the outer sugar coating A snack food that coexists and a method for producing the same and a simple method that does not require a complicated device have not been known so far.
In the present invention, the sugar coated on the swollen food is melted and then cooled to vitrify, so that the snack food has a moderately hard tooth texture without soiling the hands and has no binding between the foods, and It aims at providing the method of manufacturing the said snack food in a short time without passing through a complicated process.

本発明の発明者らは、上記課題に鑑み、鋭意研究を行った。その結果、膨化食品の表面を油脂で被覆し、次に特定の粒度を有する糖類を含む調味粉末で被覆後、焼成することにより得られるスナック食品が、上記課題を解決できることを見出し、本発明を完成するに至った。
具体的には、本発明は、以下のものを提供する。
本発明の第一の態様は、膨化食品の表面を、膨化食品100重量部に対して10重量部以上30重量部以下の油脂で被覆し、次に膨化食品100重量部に対して40重量部以上100重量部以下の調味粉末で被覆後、焼成するスナック食品であって、調味粉末が目開き300μmパス90%以上100%以下の粒度の糖類を含むスナック食品である。
本発明の第二の態様は、膨化食品の表面を油脂で被覆する工程と、油脂で被覆された膨化食品の表面を糖類を含む調味粉末で被覆する工程と、調味粉末で被覆された膨化食品を焼成する工程とを有する上記スナック食品の製造方法である。

In the present invention, it is not limited to a substantially spherical or elliptical shape that is advantageous when the seasoning powder is uniformly attached using a rotary coating apparatus or the like, but a relatively fragile shape or a corner shape such as a substantially cylindrical shape or a cubic shape. Even so, the seasoning powder can be uniformly and sufficiently adhered to the entire outer surface of the expanded food having the shape.

[油脂]
本発明においては、油脂を、膨化食品の表面に調味粉末を付着させ、焼成時の膨化食品同士の結着防止及びコンベアへの付着低減の観点から用いる。油脂の種類としては、良好な風味と保存性を有し、滑らかな物性であるものである限りにおいて、特に限定されるものではないが、常温で液体であるものを用いることが好ましい。具体的には、ナタネ油、ダイズ油、ヒマワリ種子油、綿実油、落花生油、コーン油、サフラワー油、パーム油、ヤシ油等を挙げることができる。なかでも、パーム油、ナタネ油及びコーン油が好ましく、パーム油がさらに好ましい。
油脂の使用量は、膨化食品の全表面に調味粉末を十分に付着させることができる量であればよく、膨化食品100重量部に対して10重量部以上30重量部以下であることが好ましく、15重量部以上25重量部以下であることがさらに好ましい。油脂の使用量が上記の範囲内のものであることにより、調味粉末が膨化食品の表面から剥がれ落ちることを防止することができ、また焼成時の結着防止及びコンベアベルトへの付着を低減することもできる。なお油脂中には油溶性の香料や着色料を含有してもよい。
[Oil]
In this invention, fats and oils are used from a viewpoint of making seasoning powder adhere to the surface of a puffed food, and preventing the adhesion of puffed foods at the time of baking, and reduction of adhesion to a conveyor. The types of fats and oils are not particularly limited as long as they have good flavor and storability and smooth physical properties, but those that are liquid at normal temperature are preferably used. Specific examples include rapeseed oil, soybean oil, sunflower seed oil, cottonseed oil, peanut oil, corn oil, safflower oil, palm oil, coconut oil, and the like. Of these, palm oil, rapeseed oil and corn oil are preferable, and palm oil is more preferable.
The amount of use of fats and oils may be an amount that can sufficiently attach seasoning powder to the entire surface of the puffed food, and is preferably 10 parts by weight or more and 30 parts by weight or less with respect to 100 parts by weight of the puffed food, More preferably, it is 15 parts by weight or more and 25 parts by weight or less.

You can also. Oils and fats may contain oil-soluble fragrances and coloring agents.

[調味粉末]
調味粉末は糖類の粉末を含み、さらにその他の成分を含んでもよい。
(糖類の粉末)
調味粉末に用いる糖類としては、ショ糖、麦芽糖、ブドウ糖、果糖、糖アルコール等を用いることができ、これらは単独で用いてもよく、又は2種以上を組み合わせて甘味を調整してもよい。糖類は常温で粉状のものが好ましく、また糖類を含む調味粉末被覆後の膨化食品の焼成温度の観点から、融点が200℃以下であることが好ましく、180℃以下であることがさらに好ましい。融点が200℃を超えるものを用いた場合、焼成温度をその融点以上に設定しなければならならず、糖類以外の材料や膨化食品自体が焦げやすくなる。
本発明においては、ショ糖、麦芽糖及びブドウ糖から選択される1種以上を含むことが好ましく、さらにはショ糖及び麦芽糖を1:1以上10:1以下、好ましくは1:1以上4:1以下の重量割合で用いることにより、程よい甘味が付与されたスナック食品を得ることができる。ここで、ショ糖を多く用いると強い甘味となり、麦芽糖を比較的多く用いると弱い甘味となる。また、麦芽糖は保油力が強いことから、上記比率を超えて多く使用すると、膨化食品に被覆した油脂を吸収してしまい、油脂の結合剤としての機能が発現し難くなることがある。
また、糖類の粉末の粒度は目開き300μmパスが90%以上100%以下であることが好ましく、150μmパスが90%以上100%以下であることがより好ましい。ここで言う目開きとは、JIS規格Z8801−1に準ずる公称目開きをいう。粒度が上記範囲内の糖類の粉末を用いることにより、膨化食品表面に対する糖類の粉末の付着性が向上して均一に被覆することができ、かつ焼成中に均一に融解させ、膨化食品に硬質食感を付与することができる。また、スナック食品の調製工程中に膨化食品の表面から糖類の粉末が脱落することを防止することができる。
(その他の成分)
調味粉末には、上記糖類の粉末以外にも、菓子類製造の分野において従来公知の添加剤を含有させることができる。具体的には、各種人工甘味料、食塩、粉末油脂、大豆タンパク、香料、香辛料等の調味料、エキス類、粉末バター、粉乳等の乳原料、チョコレート粉末、及び着色料を挙げることができる。これらの各種添加剤の添加量は、本発明の目的を損なわない範囲のものとすればよい。
上記材料を含む調味粉末は、最終的に均一な混合状態が得られればよく特に限定しないが、リボンブレンダー、V型混合機、タンブラーミキサー、ナウターミキサー等を用いることにより混合することができる。
本発明のスナック食品において、上記材料を含む調味粉末の使用量は、糖類による表面の硬質な食感を得る観点から、膨化食品100重量部に対して40重量部以上100重量部以下とすることが好ましい。また調味粉末は、膨化食品100重量部に対して糖類の粉末が40重量部以上100重量部以下となるように用いることが好ましく、60重量部以上100重量部以下となるように用いることがより好ましく、70重量部以上100重量部以下となるように用いることがさらに好ましい。調味粉末の使用量が上記の範囲内のものであることにより、調味粉末中の糖類の粉末が膨化食品の全面を十分に被覆して、焼成後に所望の食感を付与し、かつ調味粉末からなる層が膨化食品の表面から剥がれ落ちることを防止することができる。
[Seasoning powder]
The seasoning powder includes sugar powder and may further include other components.
(Sugar powder)
As the saccharide used in the seasoning powder, sucrose, maltose, glucose, fructose, sugar alcohol and the like can be used, and these may be used alone or in combination of two or more. Saccharides are preferably powdered at normal temperature, and from the viewpoint of the baking temperature of the puffed food after the seasoning powder coating containing saccharides, the melting point is preferably 200 ° C. or lower, and more preferably 180 ° C. or lower. When a melting point exceeding 200 ° C. is used, the baking temperature must be set to be equal to or higher than the melting point, and materials other than sugar and the puffed food itself are easily burnt.
In the present invention, it is preferable to include one or more selected from sucrose, maltose and glucose, and more preferably 1: 1 to 10: 1, preferably 1: 1 to 4: 1. By using this at a weight ratio, a snack food with moderate sweetness can be obtained. Here, when a large amount of sucrose is used, a strong sweetness is obtained, and when a relatively large amount of maltose is used, a weak sweetness is obtained. Moreover, since maltose has a strong oil retaining ability, if it is used in excess of the above ratio, it may absorb fats and oils coated on the puffed food, and the function as a binder for fats and oils may be difficult to express.
In addition, the particle size of the saccharide powder is preferably 90% or more and 100% or less for a 300 μm aperture, and more preferably 90% or more and 100% or less for a 150 μm pass. The term “aperture” as used herein refers to a nominal aperture according to JIS standard Z8801-1. By using a saccharide powder having a particle size within the above range, the adhesion of the saccharide powder to the surface of the puffed food can be improved and uniformly coated, and it can be uniformly melted during baking, so that the hard food can be added to the puffed food. A feeling can be imparted. Moreover, it is possible to prevent the sugar powder from falling off from the surface of the expanded food during the process of preparing the snack food.
(Other ingredients)
In addition to the sugar powder, the seasoning powder may contain conventionally known additives in the field of confectionery production. Specific examples include various artificial sweeteners, salt, powdered fats and oils, soy protein, flavorings, spices and other seasonings, extracts, powdered butter, milk raw materials such as powdered milk, chocolate powder, and colorants. What is necessary is just to set the addition amount of these various additives as the range which does not impair the objective of this invention.
The seasoning powder containing the above materials is not particularly limited as long as a uniform mixed state is finally obtained, but can be mixed by using a ribbon blender, a V-type mixer, a tumbler mixer, a nauter mixer, or the like.
In the snack food according to the present invention, the amount of the seasoning powder containing the above material is 40 parts by weight or more and 100 parts by weight or less with respect to 100 parts by weight of the expanded food from the viewpoint of obtaining a hard texture on the surface due to the sugars. Is preferred. The seasoning powder is preferably used so that the sugar powder is 40 to 100 parts by weight and more preferably 60 to 100 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the expanded food. Preferably, it is more preferably used so as to be 70 parts by weight or more and 100 parts by weight or less. By using the seasoning powder in the above range, the sugar powder in the seasoning powder sufficiently covers the entire surface of the swollen food, gives a desired texture after baking, and from the seasoning powder. Can be prevented from peeling off from the surface of the puffed food.

<スナック食品の製造方法>
以下に、上記材料を用いた本発明のスナック食品の製造方法について説明する。
[油脂による被覆]
まず膨化食品の全表面に油脂を被覆する。油脂を膨化食品に被覆する方法としては、油脂を膨化食品全体に被覆できれば特に限定しない。例えば、レボルパン等の回転式コーティング装置により、膨化食品を回転させながら油脂を1流体ノズル、2流体ノズルを使用してスプレー噴霧し、膨化食品の全表面に油脂を均一且つ十分に塗布すればよい。なお、油脂の全てをスプレー噴霧した後に、更に数分間そのまま膨化食品を回転させ続けることにより、膨化食品の表面に付着した油脂を均一化し、膨化食品になじませることができる。
[調味粉末による被覆]
次に油脂で被覆された膨化食品の表面を、糖類の粉末を含む調味粉末で被覆する。調味粉末を被覆する方法としては、膨化食品の表面を均一に被覆できれば特に限定しないが、レボルパンや釜等を用いた方法が挙げられる。例えば、油脂被覆後の膨化食品が装填された上記回転式コーティング装置にそのまま調味粉末を投入する。回転式コーティング装置に調味粉末を投入するにあたっては、調味粉末の必要量を、数回に分けて投入することが好ましい。調味粉末を回転式コーティング装置に投入した後は、引き続き膨化食品を数分間回転させ、調味粉末を膨化食品の表面になじませることが好ましい。
