Description

  The present invention relates to a powder composition using vanilla beans.

  Natural or synthetic vanilla flavorings are used to impart a vanilla flavor to products such as confectionery such as confectionery and frozen confectionery. Natural vanilla fragrance | flavor is obtained by extracting a fragrance | flavor component from a vanilla bean with a solvent (for example, patent document 1). On the other hand, a synthetic vanilla fragrance is obtained by adding a fragrance containing vanillin as a main component.

  Vanilla beans are composed of a sheath and a seed contained in the sheath, and this seed is referred to as “vanilla beans seed”. Vanilla beans seeds are fine black particles and are obtained by taking them out of vanilla bean pods. Industrially obtained vanilla beans seed has little vanilla aroma. The reason is that, in addition to the vanilla aroma originating from the vanilla bean pod, the seeds separated from the pod are washed and dried. Therefore, the vanilla beans seed is not used for imparting a vanilla flavor to a product such as confectionery, but is used for the purpose of further enhancing the visual vanilla feeling of the confectionery having a vanilla flavor.

  As a method for extracting a fragrance component from vanilla beans, there are a case where vanilla beans are used as they are, and a case where seeds are taken out from vanilla beans and only pods are used. When using vanilla beans as it is, seeds may be taken out from the vanilla beans after extraction. However, at least the sheath after extraction has little use, and it can be fed to livestock or disposed of. Therefore, effective use of vanilla beans after extraction (vanilla beans extraction residue) is desired from the viewpoint of reducing the amount of waste and recycling.

JP 2002-38188 A

  The subject of this invention is providing the powder composition which can utilize effectively the extraction residue of the vanilla beans which were disposed of.

As a result of intensive studies to solve the above problems, the present inventors have found a solution means having the following configuration, and have completed the present invention.
(1) From a powdered mixture of a solidified product comprising (A) at least one selected from a hardened oil and fat having a melting point of 50 ° C. or higher and a wax having a melting point of 50 ° C. or higher and (B) an extraction residue of vanilla beans The powder composition in which the component (B) is contained at a ratio of 40 to 130 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the component (A).

(8) The manufacturing method in any one of said (5)-(7) in which a mixture further contains a black pigment | dye.

  According to the powder composition of the present invention, the disposal residue of vanilla beans that has been disposed of can be effectively used. The powder composition of the present invention can be suitably used, for example, as a substitute for vanilla beans seed. In order to obtain vanilla bean seeds industrially, it is necessary to go through complicated steps such as a washing step and a drying step, starting with a step of separating seeds from vanilla bean pods. Furthermore, it is difficult to obtain a stable price due to rising prices. The powder composition of the present invention is almost inferior to the vanilla bean seed in appearance and does not impair the appearance and texture of the added product.

  The powder composition according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes (A) at least one selected from (A) a hardened fat having a melting point of 50 ° C. or higher and a wax having a melting point of 50 ° C. or higher (component (A)) and (B ) It consists of a powdered mixture of solidified product containing vanilla beans extraction residue (component (B)).

  The component (A) used in the powder composition according to one embodiment is not particularly limited as long as it is at least one selected from a hardened fat having a melting point of 50 ° C. or higher and a wax having a melting point of 50 ° C. or higher. When a hardened oil and fat having a melting point of less than 50 ° C. and a wax having a melting point of less than 50 ° C. are used, it is hard to solidify even when cooled and becomes wet like a paste or sherbet, and a powdery composition cannot be obtained. . As the component (A), it is preferable to use a hardened oil or fat having a melting point of 50 ° C. or higher alone or a mixture of a hardened oil or fat having a melting point of 50 ° C. or higher and a wax having a melting point of 50 ° C. or higher. Further, among components (A), at least one of a hardened oil and fat having a melting point of 55 ° C. or higher and a wax having a melting point of 55 ° C. or higher is preferable.

  Examples of the hardened fats having a melting point of 50 ° C. or higher include rapeseed hardened oil, palm hardened oil, soybean hardened oil, rice hardened oil, pork fat hardened oil, beef fat hardened oil, beef fat hardened oil, and the like. Can be mentioned. Among these, rapeseed extremely hardened oil and palm extremely hardened oil are preferable in terms of low odor. Hardened fats and oils having a melting point of 50 ° C. or higher may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

  Examples of the wax having a melting point of 50 ° C. or higher include carnauba wax, rice bran wax, candelilla wax, beeswax, sugar cane wax, and mole. Among these, carnauba wax is preferable because it has less odor. Waxes having a melting point of 50 ° C. or higher may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

  The component (B) used for the powder composition which concerns on one Embodiment will not be limited if it is a residue after extracting an aroma component from vanilla beans. Vanilla beans are obtained by applying a curing process for subjecting a vanilla seed pod (vanilla bean) belonging to the genus Vanilla to a fermentation process and a drying process.

  As described above, vanilla beans are composed of a pod and seeds contained in the pod. Unlike vanilla beans, the extraction residue (component (B)) of vanilla beans is easily available. Furthermore, the seeds present in the pod are removed and used as vanilla bean seeds through various processes. On the other hand, pods from which seeds have been taken are conventionally discarded or used as food for livestock, and are rarely used.

  As a component (B), you may use in the form in which a seed is contained in a sheath, and you may use the sheath which took out the seed. In particular, it is preferable to use a pod from which seeds have been taken out, because it uses a portion that has hardly been used in the past.

  When mixing the component (A) and the component (B), the component (B) may be used after being cut into an arbitrary size, or may be pulverized and used in a powder form. In order to mix component (A) and component (B) as uniformly as possible, component (B) is preferably used in powder form.

  A component (B) is contained in the ratio of 40-130 mass parts with respect to 100 mass parts of components (A). If the content of the component (B) exceeds 130 parts by mass, the relative proportion of the component (A) decreases, and it becomes difficult to mix uniformly. On the other hand, when the content of the component (B) is less than 40 parts by mass, the relative proportion of the component (A) is increased, so that the resulting composition is moist and easily agglomerates to form a powder. Is difficult. The component (B) is preferably contained in a proportion of 60 to 100 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the component (A).

  Vanilla beans seed is black with some shading. On the other hand, the color of the sheath portion of the vanilla beans is brown to black and tends to be lighter than the color of the vanilla beans seed. Therefore, when mixing the component (A) and the component (B), a black pigment may be added as necessary to bring it closer to the color of the vanilla beans seed.

  Examples of the black pigment include a pigment having an oil-soluble liquid shape, a pigment having a water-soluble liquid shape, and a pigment having a powder shape. As a black pigment | dye used for the powder composition which concerns on one Embodiment, the pigment | dye which has an oil-soluble liquid shape, or a pigment | dye which has a powder shape is preferable. A pigment having a water-soluble liquid form needs to be used after being subjected to a WO emulsification treatment. In the present specification, the “black pigment” is not limited to a pigment that exhibits black color by a single component, but may be a pigment that finally exhibits black color by mixing two or more components.

  Specific examples of the black pigment used in the powder composition according to the embodiment include plant charcoal pigment, squid pigment, a mixture of tamarind pigment and gardenia blue pigment, gardenia blue pigment, caramel pigment, and cacao pigment. A mixture etc. are mentioned. The addition amount of the black pigment is appropriately set according to, for example, the addition amount of the component (B) or the color tone of the component (B) to be used. Usually, the black pigment is 1 to 60 with respect to 100 parts by mass of the component (A). It is added at a rate of about 10 parts by mass, preferably at a rate of about 10-30 parts by mass. By mixing the component (A), the component (B), and the black pigment, a mixed solid product having a black color is obtained, and the finally obtained powder composition also exhibits a black color.

  When mixing a component (A) and a component (B), you may add another component in the range which does not inhibit the effect of this invention. Examples of such components include powder bases, antioxidants, preservatives, various minerals, vitamins, fragrances and sweeteners.

  Examples of the powder base include dextrin, cyclodextrin, wheat flour, starch (eg starch starch, katsu powder, tapioca starch, potato starch, sweet potato starch, corn starch, etc.), modified starch, rice flour, sugar alcohol (xylitol, lactitol, mannitol, maltitol) , Sorbitol, erythritol, etc.), trehalose, natural gum, gum arabic, lactose, skim milk powder, whole milk powder, whey powder and the like. Examples of the antioxidant include dl-α-tocopherol, L-ascorbic acid, dibutylhydroxytoluene, tea extract, ferulic acid, rosemary extract, rutin extract and the like. Examples of the preservative include benzoic acid, sodium benzoate, sorbic acid, potassium sorbate, propionic acid and the like.

  The method for producing the powder composition according to one embodiment is not particularly limited as long as the mixed solidified product containing the component (A) and the component (B) is powdered. Hereinafter, an embodiment of a method for producing such a powder composition will be described.

  First, 100 parts by mass of component (A) is heated and melted. 40-130 parts by mass of component (B) is added to the melted component (A). You may add said black pigment | dye, a powder base, and another component as needed. Subsequently, it stirs so that the mixed component may become uniform. At this time, when the component (B) is not in powder form but in a lump shape, the component (B) may be stirred so as to be ground. After stirring well, the resulting mixture is cooled at a temperature at which the mixture solidifies. Usually, it is solidified by cooling at about room temperature (about 20 to 30 ° C.), but it may be cooled at room temperature or lower (for example, refrigerator, freezer, etc.). In this way, a mixed solid product containing the component (A) and the component (B) is obtained.

  Next, the obtained mixed solid product is pulverized to prepare a powder composition. The pulverization is performed by an arbitrary method, for example, using a pulverizer such as a hammer mill, a ball mill, a roller mill, a jet mill, or a freeze pulverizer. Specific examples of the pulverizer include a power mill manufactured by Showa Chemical Machinery Co., Ltd., and an oscillator type granulator manufactured by Kikusui Seisakusho Co., Ltd. The obtained mixed and solidified product is pulverized so as to have the same particle size as the vanilla bean seed. Specifically, the resulting powder composition preferably passes through a 12 mesh screen, more preferably passes through a 22 mesh screen, preferably does not pass through a 120 mesh screen, more preferably an 80 mesh screen. The mixed solidified product is pulverized so as not to pass through.

  By such a method, a powder composition that is almost inferior in appearance to vanilla beans seed is obtained. The powder composition according to one embodiment preferably passes through a 12 mesh screen, more preferably passes through a 22 mesh screen, preferably does not pass through a 120 mesh screen, more preferably through an 80 mesh screen. do not do. The powder composition thus obtained does not impair the appearance and texture of the added product. Further, the powder composition thus obtained uses vanilla beans including a sheath having a vanilla fragrance as a raw material. Therefore, unlike the vanilla beans seed, the powder composition has a slight vanilla aroma. In order to enhance the aroma of this vanilla, for example, a vanilla fragrance may be added when mixing the component (A) and the component (B).

  The powder composition which concerns on one Embodiment is added and used for the food / beverage products which have vanilla flavor. Examples of such food and drink include vanilla ice, custard cream, sand cream, pudding, cake, chocolate, hot cake, and baked confectionery.

  Next, a specific example of producing a powder composition according to an embodiment will be described. First, rapeseed extremely hardened oil (melting point: 67 ° C., manufactured by Yokoseki Yushi Kogyo Co., Ltd.) is used as component (A), and sheath powder obtained by pulverizing the sheath separated from the extract residue of vanilla beans as component (B) (60 Powder that passed through a mesh screen). 100 parts by mass of component (A) was heated and melted at about 80 ° C. Next, 80 parts by mass of component (B) and 20 parts by mass of black pigment (Kyrias Oil Black TGB (manufactured by Kyria Chemical Co., Ltd.)) were added to the melted component (A). It stirred so that a component (A), a component (B), and a black pigment might become uniform, and the mixture was obtained. The obtained mixture was allowed to stand at room temperature to prepare a mixed solid product containing the component (A) and the component (B).

  The resulting mixed and solidified product is pulverized using a power mill (P-3, manufactured by Showa Chemical Machinery Co., Ltd.), passed through a 22 mesh sieve, and a powder composition that does not pass through an 80 mesh sieve. Obtained. When the obtained powder composition was visually observed, it was black and had an appearance comparable to vanilla beans seed. The obtained powder composition was added to vanilla ice. The vanilla ice containing the powder composition was not different in appearance from the vanilla ice containing vanilla beans seed, and the texture of the vanilla ice was not impaired. The sheath powder used as a raw material was clearly different in appearance from the vanilla bean seed.
