Description

  The present invention relates to a fertilizer-like food and a method for producing the fertilizer-like food. The present invention particularly relates to a fertilizing-like food containing isomaltulose and trehalulose, and a method for producing the fertilizing-like food.

  Fertilizers are generally made from starchy materials such as starch, water, and sucrose. The amount of sucrose is generally greater than the amount of starch. A large amount of sucrose provides the softness, elongation and elasticity characteristic of fertilization. Furthermore, fertilization does not become hard even if it preserves for about one week at normal temperature by containing a large amount of sucrose. On the other hand, foods containing koji powder but low in sucrose content or not containing sucrose, such as dumplings and koji, become hard when stored at room temperature for about one day.

  Fertilization is generally stored at room temperature and not refrigerated. This is because the starch during fertilization ages at refrigerated temperatures, resulting in hard fertilization.

  The fertilizer can be stored frozen to extend the expiry date of the fertilizer or to allow for remote delivery. This is because aging of starch is suppressed in a frozen state. However, the starch ages by passing through the refrigeration temperature in the process of freezing or thawing, and as a result, the fertilization becomes hard.

  The following patent documents 1-3 describe the manufacturing method of the foodstuff containing saccharides.

  Patent Document 1 discloses an anti-aging composition for moss containing sugar and β-amylase (Claim 1) and a method for producing moss characterized by adding the anti-aging composition (Claims). 3) is described. The sugar is selected from the group consisting of xylose, xylitol, xylooligosaccharide, reduced xylooligosaccharide, sorbitol, mannitol, erythritol, palatinose, palatinit, trehalulose, raffinose, lactulose, fructooligosaccharide, galactooligosaccharide (claims 1 and 3).

  Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-228561 describes a soot (Example 7). In the formulation of the garlic, the starch is 50 parts by weight and the palatinose is 10 parts by weight (Table 10).

  Patent Document 3 describes a fertilizer comprising maltose and / or α-maltosyl α, α-trehalose together with gelatinized starch, sugar and α, α-trehalose, and 100 mass of starch based on anhydride. 150 to 400 parts by mass of saccharide with respect to parts, and 30 to 250 parts by mass of sugar and 45 to 250 parts by mass of α, α-trehalose as sugars, and 45 to 250 parts by mass of maltose and / or α-maltosyl α , Α-trehalose containing 10 to 250 parts by mass, a fertilizing block characterized by the following.

(Measure softness after storage at room temperature)
One of the four equally divided fertilizers obtained in Example 1-1 was stored at room temperature (25 ° C.) for 24 hours and then cut to a rectangular parallelepiped shape 3 cm long × 3 cm wide × 1.3 cm thick. Three fertilizer pieces were obtained. The softness of these three fertilizer pieces was measured. The measurement was performed using a creep meter (RE2-30005S, Yamaden Co., Ltd.) equipped with a cylindrical plunger having a diameter of 15 mm and a load detection sensor 20N load cell. The fertilizer was placed on the load cell, a load was applied to the fertilizer using the plunger, and the strain rate when the maximum load reached 20 N was recorded. The surface to which the plunger was applied was a 3 cm × 3 cm surface. The average value of the strain rate obtained for each of the three fertilizers was calculated. The average value is a measure of the softness of fertilization, and a larger value means softer.
Similarly, the average value of the distortion rate was calculated for each fertilizer in Examples 1-2 and Comparative Examples 1-1 to 1-4. These values are shown in Table 2 below.

  As shown in Table 2, after 24 hours of normal temperature storage, the strain rates of fertilization in Examples 1-1 and 1-2 are both fertilizers in Comparative Example 1-1, that is, the sucrose is the only sugar. Higher than. That is, each of the fertilizers of Examples 1-1 and 1-2 has improved softness compared to the fertilizer in which the saccharide is only sucrose. Moreover, each fertilizer of Example 1-1 and 1-2 was softer than each fertilizer of Comparative Examples 1-2 to 1-4. Therefore, in the case of the content ratio of isomaltulose and trehalulose used in Examples 1-1 and 1-2, the softness was further improved. Moreover, the fertilization of Example 1-1 was still softer than the fertilization of Example 1-2.

(Measurement of softness after freezing)
Of the four equally divided fertilizers obtained in Example 1-1, the other one was stored frozen at −30 ° C. for 1 week, and the other one was stored frozen at −30 ° C. for 3 weeks. After freezing storage, the fertilized fertilizer is returned to room temperature, and then cut and cut into three rectangular parallelepiped shaped fertilizer pieces 3 cm long × 3 cm wide × 1.3 cm thick after 1 week of freezing storage and 3 weeks of freezing storage Obtained for each of the fertilizers. The strain rate of these fertilized pieces was measured by the same method as described above, and the average value of the strain rate was calculated. The values are shown in Table 3 below.

  As shown in Table 3, after 1 week and 3 weeks of frozen storage, the strain rate of each fertilizer of Examples 1-1 and 1-2 was higher than that of Comparative Example 1-1. . Therefore, when stored frozen, each fertilizer in Examples 1-1 and 1-2 was softer than the fertilizer in Comparative Example 1-1 in which the saccharide was only sucrose. Moreover, when it preserve | saved frozen, the distortion rate of the fertilization of Example 1-1 was higher than any of the fertilization of Example 1-2 and Comparative Examples 1-2 to 1-4. Therefore, the softness after frozen storage was particularly improved by the content ratio of isomaltulose and trehalulose used in Example 1-1.

(Measure softness after refrigeration)
Of the four equally divided fertilizers obtained in Example 1-1, the last one was refrigerated at 1 ° C. for 24 hours. After refrigerated storage, the fertilizer was returned to room temperature and cut to obtain three rectangular parallelepiped-shaped fertilizer pieces 3 cm long × 3 cm wide × 1.3 cm thick. The strain rate of these fertilized pieces was measured by the same method as described above, and the average value of the strain rate was calculated. The values are shown in Table 4 below.

  As shown in Table 4, after 24 hours of refrigerated storage, the strain rates of fertilization in Examples 1-1 and 1-2 are both higher than those in Comparative Example 1-1. Therefore, as for each fertilizer of Example 1-1 and 1-2, the softness | softness at the time of carrying out refrigeration preservation is improved rather than the fertilizer whose sugars are only sucrose. Furthermore, each fertilizer in Examples 1-1 and 1-2 was softer than each fertilizer in Comparative Examples 1-2 to 1-4. Therefore, in the case of the content ratio of isomaltulose and trehalulose used in Examples 1-1 and 1-2, the softness was further improved. Moreover, the fertilization of Example 1-1 was still softer than the fertilization of Example 1-2. Therefore, the softness after refrigerated storage was particularly improved by the content ratio of isomaltulose and trehalulose used in Example 1-1.

(Evaluation of appearance, texture and touch)
Appearance, texture, and tactile sensation were evaluated for each of the fertilizers of Examples 1-1 and 1-2 and Comparative Examples 1-1 to 1-4. Appearance, texture, and touch were evaluated for each of the fertilizers of Examples 1-1 and 1-2 and each of the fertilizers of Comparative Examples 1-1 to 1-3. The evaluation was performed by two trained panelists. About the external appearance, the smoothness of the surface when the fertilized surface was visually observed was evaluated according to the following evaluation criteria. Smooth: 3 points, slightly smooth: 2 points, slightly rough: 1 point, coarse: 0 points. Regarding the texture, the softness when eating fertilizer was evaluated according to the following evaluation criteria. Soft: 3 points, slightly soft: 2 points, slightly hard: 1 point, hard: 0 points. For the tactile sensation, the softness when the fertilizer was touched with a finger was evaluated according to the following evaluation criteria. Soft: 3 points, slightly soft: 2 points, slightly hard: 1 point, hard: 0 points. Table 3 below shows the evaluation results determined by discussion between the two panelists.

  As shown in Table 5, the fertilization of Examples 1-1 and 1-2 are both in the case of eating and touching than those of Comparative Examples 1-1 to 1-4. It was soft too.

As shown in Table 5, the fertilization of Example 1-1 was as smooth as the fertilization of Comparative Example 1-1. The fertilization of Example 1-2 was slightly smoother than the fertilization of Example 1-1 and Comparative Example 1-1. Moreover, the fertilization of Examples 1-1 and 1-2 was smoother than the fertilization of Comparative Examples 1-2 to 1-4. Both the fertilizers of Comparative Examples 1-2 and 1-3 seemed to have a dry surface.
