[Preparation process of milk preparation]
First, a milk preparation is prepared by mixing milk raw materials, water as required, and other components. The milk preparation is a fermented product obtained by adding lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria thereto and fermenting them. The milk preparation is preferably homogenized by a conventional method.
The milk raw material is a milk-derived raw material, and known milk raw materials used in the production of fermented milk can be used. For example, raw milk, cream, nonfat concentrated milk, nonfat dry milk, milk protein and the like can be mentioned.
As other components, for example, sugars such as sugars and oligosaccharides, vegetable fats, stabilizers, fragrances, sweeteners and the like, which are known components added in the production of fermented milk, can be appropriately contained.

乳酸菌およびビフィズス菌を添加する前に、調乳液を加熱殺菌処理することが好ましい。加熱殺菌条件は85〜95℃で5〜15分間が好ましい。加熱殺菌後、次の発酵工程における発酵温度まで冷却することが好ましい。または加熱殺菌後に、タンク等に保存する場合10℃以下に冷却することが好ましい。   Before adding lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria, it is preferable to heat sterilize the milk preparation. The heat sterilization conditions are preferably 85 to 95 ° C. and 5 to 15 minutes. After heat sterilization, it is preferable to cool to the fermentation temperature in the next fermentation step. Or after heat sterilization, when storing in a tank etc., it is preferable to cool to 10 degrees C or less.

調乳液における全固形分(水分以外の成分の合計)の含有量は6〜24質量%が好ましく、8〜22質量%がより好ましい。全固形分が上記範囲の下限値以上であると、発酵物を濃縮する際に良好な濃縮効率が得られやすく、上限値以下であると、濃縮後の平均粒子径が小さくてなめらかな濃縮発酵乳が得られやすい。
調乳液における無脂乳固形分の含有量は6〜16質量%が好ましく、8〜14質量%がより好ましい。
6-24 mass% is preferable and, as for content of the total solid (total of components other than a water | moisture content) in a formula, 8-22 mass% is more preferable. When the total solid content is not less than the lower limit of the above range, good concentration efficiency is easily obtained when concentrating the fermented product, and when it is not more than the upper limit, the average particle size after concentration is small and smooth concentrated fermentation. Milk is easy to obtain.
The content of nonfat milk solids in the milk preparation is preferably 6 to 16% by mass, more preferably 8 to 14% by mass.

[発酵工程]
次に、調乳液に乳酸菌およびビフィズス菌を添加し(発酵開始)、所定の発酵温度に保持して発酵させ、発酵物を得る。発酵によりカードが形成される。
乳酸菌としては、例えば、ラクトバチルス・ブルガリクス(L.bulgaricus)、ラクトコッカス・ラクチス(L.lactis)、ストレプトコッカス・サーモフィラス(S.thermophilus)等の、発酵乳の製造に通常用いられている乳酸菌スターターの1種または2種以上を用いることが好ましい。
特に、製造後の保存中におけるビフィズス菌の生残性に優れる点からは、濃縮発酵乳の保存中のpH低下が0.3以下となるような乳酸菌スターターを選択することが好ましい。
そのような乳酸菌スターターは、例えば、無脂乳固形分10質量%の還元脱脂乳培地(pH6.5)に試験対象の乳酸菌スターターを添加し、培地のpHが4.6になるまで40℃で試験発酵を行い、得られた発酵物を10℃で保存したときに、保存開始から14日後(336時間後)におけるpH(10℃)が4.1以上である乳酸菌スターター(以下、低酸度乳酸菌スターターという。)から適宜選択して用いることが好ましい。
また、低酸度乳酸菌スターターの中でも、上記試験発酵において、培地のpHが5.0から4.6まで下がるのに要する時間が3時間未満である低酸度乳酸菌スターター(以下、短時間発酵型の低酸度乳酸菌スターターという。)を用いると、濃縮発酵乳のなめらかさに優れる点で好ましい。
このような低酸性乳酸菌スターターとしては、ストレプトコッカス・サーモフィラス(Streptococcus thermophilus)等の菌種のものが市販されている。
例えば短時間発酵型の低酸性乳酸菌スターターとしては、クリスチャン・ハンセン社製のYoFlex SoGreek(商品名)等が挙げられる。
短時間発酵型ではない低酸性乳酸菌スターターとしては、クリスチャン・ハンセン社製のF−DVS ST−20X、F−DVS ST−BODY−2、F−DVS ST−BODY−3(いずれも商品名)等が挙げられる。
乳酸菌の添加量は、通常の範囲で適宜調節することができる。例えば、調乳液に対する乳酸菌の菌濃度が、1×10〜1×10CFU/mLが好ましく、1×10〜1×10CFU/mLがより好ましい。
[Fermentation process]
Next, lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria are added to the milk preparation (fermentation start), and the fermented product is obtained by maintaining the fermentation liquid at a predetermined fermentation temperature. A card is formed by fermentation.
Lactic acid bacteria include, for example, Lactobacillus bulgaricus (L. bulgaricus), Lactococcus lactis (L. lactis), Streptococcus thermophilus (S. It is preferable to use 1 type (s) or 2 or more types.
In particular, from the viewpoint of excellent survival of bifidobacteria during storage after production, it is preferable to select a lactic acid bacterium starter such that the pH drop during storage of concentrated fermented milk is 0.3 or less.
For example, such a lactic acid bacteria starter is prepared by adding the lactic acid bacteria starter to be tested to a reduced skim milk medium (pH 6.5) having a non-fat milk solid content of 10% by mass at 40 ° C. until the pH of the medium becomes 4.6. When test fermentation is performed and the obtained fermented product is stored at 10 ° C., a lactic acid bacteria starter (hereinafter, low acidity lactic acid bacteria) having a pH (10 ° C.) of 4.1 or more after 14 days (336 hours) after the start of storage It is preferable to select and use from the starter).
Moreover, among the low acidity lactic acid bacteria starters, in the above test fermentation, the low acidity lactic acid bacteria starter (hereinafter referred to as a short-time fermentation type low starter) whose time required for the medium pH to drop from 5.0 to 4.6 is less than 3 hours. It is preferable to use acidity lactic acid bacteria starter) in that the smoothness of the concentrated fermented milk is excellent.
As such a low acid lactic acid bacteria starter, those of bacterial species such as Streptococcus thermophilus are commercially available.
For example, as a short-time fermentation type low-acid lactic acid bacteria starter, YoFlex SoGreek (trade name) manufactured by Christian Hansen is listed.
Examples of low acid lactic acid bacteria starters that are not short-time fermentation types include F-DVS ST-20X, F-DVS ST-BODY-2, and F-DVS ST-BODY-3 (all trade names) manufactured by Christian Hansen. Is mentioned.
The addition amount of lactic acid bacteria can be appropriately adjusted within a normal range. For example, the cell concentration of lactic acid for regulating milk, preferably 1 × 10 5 ~1 × 10 8 CFU / mL, and more preferably 1 × 10 5 ~1 × 10 7 CFU / mL.

ビフィズス菌とはビフィドバクテリウム属細菌を意味する。例えばビフィドバクテリウム・ロンガム(B.longum)等、発酵乳の製造に通常用いられているビフィズス菌の1種または2種以上を用いることが好ましい。
発酵開始前の調乳液に、ビフィズス菌を乳酸菌とともに添加することにより、ビフィズス菌特有の発酵臭が抑えられた濃縮発酵乳が得られる。
ビフィズス菌の添加量は、例えば、調乳液に対するビフィズス菌の生菌数が、1×10〜1×10CFU/mLが好ましく、1×10〜1×10CFU/mLがより好ましい。
Bifidobacterium means a bacterium belonging to the genus Bifidobacterium. For example, it is preferable to use one or more types of bifidobacteria commonly used in the production of fermented milk such as Bifidobacterium longum (B. longum).
By adding bifidobacteria together with lactic acid bacteria to the milk preparation before the start of fermentation, concentrated fermented milk in which the fermentation odor peculiar to bifidobacteria is suppressed is obtained.
The amount of bifidobacteria added is, for example, preferably 1 × 10 6 to 1 × 10 9 CFU / mL, more preferably 1 × 10 7 to 1 × 10 9 CFU / mL. .

乳酸菌による発酵においては酸が生成されるため、発酵が開始された後の調乳液のpHは経時的に低下する。発酵工程における到達pHは4.6〜4.9とする。到達pHが上記範囲の上限値以下であると、ビフィズス菌の生菌を十分に含む濃縮発酵乳が得られる。発酵工程における調乳液のpHは、発酵菌の種類、添加量および発酵時間によって調整できる。
発酵工程は、例えば35〜43℃で3〜6時間、好ましくは4〜5時間の条件で行うことができる。
pHが目標の値(到達pH)に達したら、10℃以下に冷却して発酵物を得る。10℃以下に冷却された時点を発酵工程の終了時とする。発酵物を次の濃縮工程に供する前に、撹拌してカードを粉砕することが好ましい。
In the fermentation by lactic acid bacteria, an acid is generated, so that the pH of the milk preparation after the fermentation is started decreases with time. The ultimate pH in the fermentation process is 4.6 to 4.9. When the ultimate pH is not more than the upper limit of the above range, concentrated fermented milk sufficiently containing viable Bifidobacteria is obtained. The pH of the milk preparation in the fermentation process can be adjusted by the type of fermenting bacteria, the amount added, and the fermentation time.
The fermentation process can be performed, for example, at 35 to 43 ° C. for 3 to 6 hours, preferably 4 to 5 hours.
When the pH reaches the target value (attained pH), it is cooled to 10 ° C. or lower to obtain a fermented product. The time when it is cooled to 10 ° C. or lower is defined as the end of the fermentation process. It is preferable to stir and grind the curd before subjecting the fermented product to the next concentration step.

[濃縮工程]
次いで発酵物を濃縮して目的の濃縮発酵乳を得る。濃縮中の発酵物は所定の濃縮温度に維持する。濃縮後は10℃以下に冷却することが好ましい。
濃縮工程は公知の濃縮方法により行うことができる。例えば遠心分離法または膜分離法を用いることができる。よりなめらかな発酵乳が得られるという点で膜分離法が好ましい。膜分離法としては、例えば限外ろ過膜(UF膜)を用いる方法、精密濾過膜を用いる方法等が挙げられる。
[Concentration process]
Next, the fermented product is concentrated to obtain the desired concentrated fermented milk. The fermented product being concentrated is maintained at a predetermined concentration temperature. It is preferable to cool to 10 ° C. or lower after the concentration.
The concentration step can be performed by a known concentration method. For example, a centrifugal separation method or a membrane separation method can be used. The membrane separation method is preferable in that a smoother fermented milk can be obtained. Examples of the membrane separation method include a method using an ultrafiltration membrane (UF membrane) and a method using a microfiltration membrane.

濃縮工程において、濃縮される発酵物の温度(濃縮温度)は5〜35℃とする。濃縮温度が高い方が濃縮効率は向上するが、濃縮温度を35℃以下とすることにより、ビフィズス菌の生菌数が高い濃縮発酵乳が得られる。また、濃縮温度を低くすることにより、得られる濃縮発酵乳の平均粒子径を小さくできる。濃縮発酵乳の平均粒子径が小さいとなめらかさに優れる。
特に、低酸度乳酸菌スターターを用いた場合には、濃縮温度が低い方が、濃縮発酵乳の保存中のpH低下を抑える効果が大きく、保存中のビフィズス菌の生残性が向上する。
一方、濃縮温度が5℃以上であると発酵物の粘度が下がりすぎず、良好な粘度の濃縮発酵乳が得られやすい。濃縮温度は20〜35℃がより好ましい。
In the concentration step, the temperature of the fermented product to be concentrated (concentration temperature) is 5 to 35 ° C. The higher the concentration temperature, the higher the concentration efficiency, but by setting the concentration temperature to 35 ° C. or lower, concentrated fermented milk having a high viable count of bifidobacteria can be obtained. Moreover, the average particle diameter of the concentrated fermented milk obtained can be made small by making concentration temperature low. When the average particle size of the concentrated fermented milk is small, the smoothness is excellent.
In particular, when a low acidity lactic acid bacterium starter is used, the lower the concentration temperature, the greater the effect of suppressing the pH drop during storage of the concentrated fermented milk, and the survival of the Bifidobacterium during storage is improved.
On the other hand, when the concentration temperature is 5 ° C. or higher, the fermented product does not have too low a viscosity, and concentrated fermented milk having a good viscosity is easily obtained. The concentration temperature is more preferably 20 to 35 ° C.

濃縮工程において、濃縮される発酵物のpH(10℃)は4.3以上に維持されていることが好ましく、4.35以上であることがより好ましい。濃縮中のpH低下を抑えることによって、ビフィズス菌の生菌数が高い濃縮発酵乳が得られる。
また製造日の1日後のpHが4.3以上であることが好ましく、4.35以上であることがより好ましい。
In the concentration step, the pH (10 ° C.) of the fermented product to be concentrated is preferably maintained at 4.3 or higher, more preferably 4.35 or higher. By suppressing the decrease in pH during concentration, concentrated fermented milk having a high viable count of bifidobacteria can be obtained.
Further, the pH one day after the production date is preferably 4.3 or more, more preferably 4.35 or more.

濃縮前の質量を、濃縮後の質量で除した値で表される濃縮倍率は、2倍以上が好ましく、2.5倍以上がより好ましい。濃縮倍率が低い方が短時間で濃縮できるが、濃縮倍率を高くすることにより濃縮後の発酵乳の平均粒子径を小さくできる。濃縮倍率の上限は特に限定されないが、製造効率の点からは4倍以下が好ましく、3.5倍以下がより好ましい。
濃縮発酵乳における全固形分(水分以外の成分の合計)の含有量は12〜23質量%が好ましく、15〜21質量%がより好ましい。
濃縮発酵乳における無脂乳固形分の含有量は12〜18質量%が好ましく、13〜17質量%がより好ましい。
The concentration ratio represented by a value obtained by dividing the mass before concentration by the mass after concentration is preferably 2 times or more, and more preferably 2.5 times or more. Although the one where a concentration rate is low can concentrate in a short time, the average particle diameter of fermented milk after concentration can be made small by making a concentration factor high. The upper limit of the concentration ratio is not particularly limited, but is preferably 4 times or less, more preferably 3.5 times or less from the viewpoint of production efficiency.
12-23 mass% is preferable and, as for content of the total solid (total of components other than water | moisture content) in concentrated fermented milk, 15-21 mass% is more preferable.
12-18 mass% is preferable and, as for content of non-fat milk solid content in concentrated fermented milk, 13-17 mass% is more preferable.

こうして得られる濃縮発酵乳は、ビフィズス菌を含みながら、ビフィズス菌特有の発酵臭が抑えられ、風味に優れる。また発酵前にビフィズス菌を添加したにも関わらず、ビフィズス菌の生菌数が高い。さらに平均粒子径が小さくなめらかな食感に優れる。
具体的に、濃縮工程で得られた濃縮発酵乳を10℃で保存して、製造日の1日後のビフィズス菌生菌数は5×10CFU/mL以上であることが好ましく、10×10CFU/mL以上がより好ましく、15×10CFU/mL以上がさらに好ましく、20×10CFU/mL以上が特に好ましい。
濃縮発酵乳の平均粒子径は16μm以下が好ましく、15μm以下がより好ましい。16μm以下であると、ざらつきが充分に低減された食感が得られ、15μm以下であるとなめらかさに優れる。該平均粒子径の下限は特に限定されないが、製造性の点から4μm以上が好ましい。
The concentrated fermented milk thus obtained contains bifidobacteria, has a reduced fermentation odor peculiar to bifidobacteria, and is excellent in flavor. Despite the addition of bifidobacteria before fermentation, the viable count of bifidobacteria is high. Furthermore, the average particle size is small and excellent in smooth texture.

<Example 1>
Nonfat concentrated milk, cream, and water were mixed to prepare a milk preparation having a milk fat content of 1.6%, a nonfat milk solid content of 9.3%, and a total solid content of 10.9%. This was sterilized at 90 ° C. for 10 minutes, cooled to 38 ° C., added with lactic acid bacteria (1) and bifidobacteria and fermented at 38 ° C. When the pH reached 4.8, the fermentation was terminated, followed by stirring and cooling to obtain a fermented product.
The amount of lactic acid bacteria (1) added to the milk preparation was 5 × 10 6 CFU / mL, the amount of bifidobacteria added was 3 × 10 7 CFU / mL, and the fermentation time was about 4.5 hours.

表1、2の結果に示されるように、例1〜4および例6で得られた濃縮発酵乳は1日後のビフィズス菌生菌数が高く、ビフィズス菌発酵臭も弱い。また濃縮発酵乳の平均粒子径が小さくてなめらかな組織を有している。
例1〜4および例6において、濃縮開始から製造日の1日後までの間にpHを増大させる操作は行っておらず、濃縮中の発酵物のpHは1日後の濃縮発酵乳のpHの値以上である。例1〜4および例6で得られた濃縮発酵乳の1日後の濃縮発酵乳のpHはいずれも4.35以上であることから、濃縮中の発酵物のpHは4.35以上である。
特に乳酸菌(1)を用いた例1〜4は、保存中のpH低下が0.3以下であり、製造日の14日後でもビフィズス菌の生残性に優れる。
As shown in the results of Tables 1 and 2, the concentrated fermented milks obtained in Examples 1 to 4 and Example 6 have a high bifidobacteria count after one day and a weak bifidobacteria fermentation odor. Moreover, the average particle diameter of concentrated fermented milk is small and has a smooth structure.
In Examples 1 to 4 and 6, no operation was performed to increase the pH between the start of concentration and one day after the production date, and the pH of the fermented product during concentration was the pH value of the concentrated fermented milk after one day. That's it. Since the pH of the concentrated fermented milk one day after the concentrated fermented milk obtained in Examples 1 to 4 and Example 6 is 4.35 or higher, the pH of the fermented product being concentrated is 4.35 or higher.
In particular, Examples 1 to 4 using lactic acid bacteria (1) have a pH drop of 0.3 or less during storage, and are excellent in the viability of bifidobacteria even after 14 days from the date of manufacture.

一方、濃縮温度を45℃とした例5で得られた濃縮発酵乳は、例1〜4および例6に比べて1日後のビフィズス菌生菌数が低い。保存中のpH低下が0.3以下であるにもかかわらず、製造日の14日後にはビフィズス菌生菌数がゼロになった。またビフィズス菌発酵臭は弱いが、濃縮発酵乳の平均粒子径が比較的大きく、組織のなめらかさが劣る。
乳酸菌(2)を用い、濃縮温度を45℃とした例7で得られた濃縮発酵乳は、例1〜4および例6に比べて1日後のビフィズス菌生菌数が低い。保存中のpH低下が大きく、製造日の14日後にはビフィズス菌生菌数がゼロになった。ビフィズス菌発酵臭は弱いが、濃縮発酵乳の平均粒子径が比較的大きく、組織のなめらかさが劣る。
発酵後にビフィズス菌を添加した例8、9で得られた濃縮発酵乳は、ビフィズス菌発酵臭が強かった。また濃縮温度が20℃である例8と、濃縮温度が45℃である例9のいずれも、製造日の1日後のビフィズス菌生菌数は、ビフィズス菌の添加量と同等であった。
On the other hand, the concentrated fermented milk obtained in Example 5 with a concentration temperature of 45 ° C. has a lower number of viable Bifidobacterium after one day than in Examples 1 to 4 and Example 6. Although the pH drop during storage was 0.3 or less, the viable count of bifidobacteria became zero after 14 days of production. Moreover, although the bifidobacteria fermentation odor is weak, the average particle diameter of concentrated fermented milk is comparatively large, and the smoothness of a structure | tissue is inferior.
The concentrated fermented milk obtained in Example 7 using lactic acid bacteria (2) and having a concentration temperature of 45 ° C. has a lower number of viable Bifidobacteria after 1 day than in Examples 1 to 4 and Example 6. The pH drop during storage was large, and the viable Bifidobacterium count became zero after 14 days of production. Although the fermentation odor of bifidobacteria is weak, the average particle size of the concentrated fermented milk is relatively large, and the smoothness of the tissue is poor.
The concentrated fermented milk obtained in Examples 8 and 9 to which bifidobacteria were added after fermentation had a strong fermentation odor of bifidobacteria. Further, in both Example 8 where the concentration temperature was 20 ° C. and Example 9 where the concentration temperature was 45 ° C., the viable count of bifidobacteria one day after the production date was equivalent to the amount of bifidobacteria added.
