Description

コーヒー飲食品のコーヒーの芳醇感増強剤および芳醇感増強方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a coffee mellow enhancer and a mellow enhancer for coffee beverages.

日本におけるコーヒーの消費量は年々増加傾向にある。近年では、消費者の本格志向が高まり、RTD製品においても、より良質なコーヒーの芳醇な香味が求められている。   Coffee consumption in Japan is increasing year by year. In recent years, consumers have become more and more serious, and RTD products are also demanding richer flavors of higher quality coffee.

コーヒーには、大きく分けてアラビカ種とロブスタ種の2品種が存在する。アラビカ種は、主にコロンビア、ブラジルにて生産され、病虫害に弱いが、一般にコーヒーとしての風味に優れ、特に良質なものは、サワー、フルーティー、フローラルと表現される華やかな香調が強く、芳醇な香味を有する。一方、ロブスタ種は、主にインドネシア、ベトナムで生産され、病虫害に強く、安価でカフェイン含量も多いため、手頃な価格で提供されるインスタントコーヒーやコーヒー飲食品の原料として有用である。
したがって、コーヒー飲食品を手頃な価格で提供するためには、原料として安価で低級なコーヒー豆のブレンドあるいはロブスタ種のコーヒー豆だけを使用することが多い。しかしながら、アラビカ種であっても安価で低級なコーヒー豆は、良質なものに比べ芳醇感が弱い。一方、ロブスタ種は、スモーキー、穀物様と表現される独特の香調を有するため、これらのコーヒー豆と良質なコーヒー豆をブレンドしても、嗜好性の高い芳醇な香味を有するコーヒー飲食品を製造することは困難であった。
Coffee is roughly divided into two varieties, Arabica and Robusta. Arabica is mainly produced in Colombia and Brazil, and is vulnerable to pests and insects, but generally has excellent flavor as coffee. Particularly high quality ones have strong and rich fragrances expressed as sour, fruity and floral. It has a rich flavor. Robusta, on the other hand, is mainly produced in Indonesia and Vietnam, is resistant to pests and insects, is inexpensive and has a high content of caffeine, and thus is useful as a raw material for affordable instant coffee and coffee foods and drinks.
Therefore, in order to provide coffee food at an affordable price, inexpensive and low-grade coffee beans blends or only Robusta coffee beans are often used as raw materials. However, even if it is an Arabica variety, inexpensive and low-grade coffee beans are less mellow than high-quality ones. On the other hand, Robusta has a unique flavor like smoky or cereal, so even if these coffee beans are blended with high-quality coffee beans, coffee and food products with high palatability and rich flavor can be obtained. It was difficult to manufacture.

このような背景から、これまでにもコーヒーの芳醇感を付与または強化する技術が開発されてきた。例えば、エキスやフレーバーを添加することで芳醇感を増強する方法である。具体的には、焙煎コーヒー豆の水抽出物を過熱水蒸気と接触させることにより得られるコーヒー風味飲食品用の風味付与・増強剤(特許文献1)、植物原料を水蒸気蒸留して得られる水蒸気抽出植物エキスに、アルコールを加えた後、リパーゼ処理することを特徴とする酵素処理植物エキス(特許文献2)、焙煎コーヒー豆を低温抽出した抽出液と、抽出残渣を水蒸気蒸留した水蒸気蒸留抽出液を混合して得られるコーヒーエキス(特許文献3)、焙煎した植物原料に水及び有機溶剤を加えスラリーを作製し、そのスラリーを気−液向流接触装置に導入して蒸留を行い、アロマ成分含有凝縮液と蒸留残渣とに分離し、凝縮液から得たフレーバー(特許文献4)などがあるが、いずれも、事前にコーヒー豆から芳醇感を増強する香味成分を抽出し、それを添加する技術である。いずれの技術も、芳醇感に寄与する成分の抽出、濃縮などの複雑な工程や製造施設などが必要であり、そのため製造コストがかかり汎用性に欠けるという問題があった。一方、芳醇感のないコーヒー豆に芳醇感を付与する方法として、含水させたコーヒー生豆を50〜200MPa以上の高圧処理を行うことでコーヒー生豆の品質を向上する方法(特許文献5)、コーヒーの生豆に糖溶液を含浸させ130℃〜160℃の飽和蒸気で5分〜30分間蒸煮し、さらに真空冷却乾燥させコーヒー豆の改質方法(特許文献6)などがあるが、やはり、複雑な工程や製造施設などが必要であり、そのため製造コストがかかり汎用性に欠けた。   Against this background, techniques for imparting or enhancing the richness of coffee have been developed. For example, it is a method of enhancing the mellow feeling by adding an extract or a flavor. Specifically, a flavor imparting / enhancing agent for coffee flavored foods and drinks obtained by bringing an aqueous extract of roasted coffee beans into contact with superheated steam (Patent Document 1), and steam obtained by steam distillation of plant materials Enzyme-treated plant extract (Patent Document 2) characterized by adding lipase treatment after adding alcohol to the extracted plant extract, an extract obtained by low-temperature extraction of roasted coffee beans, and a steam distillation extraction obtained by steam-distilling the extraction residue. A coffee extract obtained by mixing the liquid (Patent Document 3), water and an organic solvent are added to the roasted plant material to prepare a slurry, and the slurry is introduced into a gas-liquid countercurrent contact device and distilled. There is a flavor (Patent Document 4) obtained from an aroma component-containing condensate and a distillation residue separated from the condensate, but in each case, a flavor component that enhances the richness is extracted from coffee beans in advance. A technique of adding it. All the techniques require complicated processes such as extraction and concentration of components contributing to the mellow sensation, manufacturing facilities, and the like, resulting in high manufacturing costs and lack of versatility. On the other hand, as a method for imparting a mellow feeling to coffee beans having no mellow feeling, a method of improving the quality of green coffee beans by performing a high-pressure treatment of 50 to 200 MPa or more on hydrated green coffee beans (Patent Document 5) There is a method of modifying coffee beans by impregnating green coffee beans with a sugar solution, steaming with saturated steam at 130 ° C. to 160 ° C. for 5 to 30 minutes, and drying by vacuum cooling (Patent Document 6). Complicated processes and manufacturing facilities are required, which increases manufacturing costs and lacks versatility.

本発明の目的は、コーヒー飲食品に芳醇感を簡便に付与する技術の提供であり、特に、ロブスタ種の豆から抽出されたコーヒー抽出液に芳醇感を付与する有効な技術を提供することにある。   An object of the present invention is to provide a technique for easily imparting a rich feeling to coffee foods and drinks, and in particular, to provide an effective technique for imparting a rich feeling to a coffee extract extracted from Robusta beans. is there.

発明者らは、上記課題を解決するため、より簡便で汎用性の高い方法の検討を行い、3級チオール類化合物をごく少量添加するだけで、コーヒー抽出液に芳醇感を付与できることを見いだした。この3級チオール類化合物である3−メルカプト−3−メチルブチルフォーメート(特開昭57−4966号公報)や3−メルカプト−3−メチルブチルアセテート(特開2004−222511号公報)をコーヒー用の香料として使用することは公知である。   The present inventors have studied a simpler and more versatile method for solving the above problems, and have found that a mellow feeling can be imparted to a coffee extract simply by adding a very small amount of a tertiary thiol compound. . This tertiary thiol compound such as 3-mercapto-3-methylbutyl formate (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 57-4966) or 3-mercapto-3-methylbutyl acetate (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-222511) is used for coffee. It is known to use as a fragrance.

しかしながら、3級チオール類化合物がコーヒーのスモーキー、穀物様の香調を低減し、同時にサワー、フルーティー、フローラルな香調を増強することで、コーヒーの芳醇感を高めることは知られていなかった。特に、ロブスタ種のコーヒー豆から得られた抽出液に3−メルカプト−3−メチルブチルフォーメートを添加すると、芳醇感が高まり、良質なアラビカ種のコーヒー豆抽出液の風味特徴に近似することは驚きであった。   However, it has not been known that the tertiary thiol compound enhances the richness of coffee by reducing the smokey and cereal-like flavors of coffee and at the same time enhancing the sour, fruity and floral flavors. In particular, when 3-mercapto-3-methylbutylformate is added to the extract obtained from Robusta coffee beans, the mellow feeling is enhanced, and the flavor characteristics of the high quality Arabica coffee beans extract can be approximated. I was surprised.

本発明の芳醇感増強剤をコーヒー飲食品に添加することにより、スモーキー、穀物様の香調を低減すると同時に、サワー、フルーティー、フローラルな香調を増強し、芳醇感を高めることができる。しかも、本発明により増強された芳醇感は、加熱殺菌後も安定に残存し、飲食品が長期間保存された後も持続する。また、本発明の香料化合物の添加量は任意に調整することができるため、香味を簡便かつ任意に調節することもできる。   By adding the mellowness enhancer of the present invention to coffee food or drink, it is possible to reduce smoky and cereal-like fragrances, and at the same time, to enhance sour, fruity and floral fragrances and enhance mellowness. Moreover, the richness enhanced by the present invention remains stably even after heat sterilization, and persists even after the food or drink is stored for a long period of time. Further, since the amount of the flavor compound of the present invention can be arbitrarily adjusted, the flavor can be easily and arbitrarily adjusted.

本発明の芳醇感増強剤は、そのままコーヒー飲食品に添加して使用することができる。本発明の3級チオール類化合物は、香気が極めて強く、多量では不快臭と感じるものであるが、飲食品に対し、0.05〜50ppb、好ましくは0.1〜10ppb、より好ましくは0.5〜5ppbの範囲内で添加されたとき、スモーキー、穀物様の香調を低減し、かつ、華やかな香調を増強し、芳醇感を高める。コーヒー飲食品における含有量が0.05ppb未満の場合には、スモーキー、穀物様の香調を低減する効果は得られず、また、華やかな香調も増強しない。一方、飲食品における含有量が50ppbを超えると、不快臭が強くなり、良質な香味は得られない。本発明の香料化合物は、極めて微量で使用されるため、好ましくは、エタノールやプロピレングリコール等の溶剤に希釈され、そのまま用いられる。   The mellowness enhancer of the present invention can be used as it is added to coffee foods and drinks. The tertiary thiol compound of the present invention has an extremely strong aroma and an unpleasant odor when it is contained in a large amount, but it is 0.05 to 50 ppb, preferably 0.1 to 10 ppb, more preferably 0.1 to 10 ppb with respect to food and drink. When added in the range of 5-5 ppb, it reduces smoky, grainy fragrance, enhances gorgeous fragrance, and enhances richness. When the content in the coffee food or drink is less than 0.05 ppb, the effect of reducing the smoky and cereal-like fragrance is not obtained, and the gorgeous fragrance is not enhanced. On the other hand, when the content in the food or drink exceeds 50 ppb, an unpleasant odor becomes strong, and good flavor cannot be obtained. Since the fragrance compound of the present invention is used in a very small amount, it is preferably diluted with a solvent such as ethanol or propylene glycol and used as it is.

本発明の香料化合物が添加される飲食品としては、コーヒー飲食品であれば、特に制限はない。例えば、無糖、有糖あるいはミルク入りのコーヒー飲料類やインスタントコーヒー類、アイスクリーム、シャーベット等の冷菓類、ゼリー、プリン、羊羹等のデザート類、クッキー、ケーキ、チョコレート、キャンディ、チューイングガム、饅頭等の菓子類、菓子パン、食パン等のパン類、ジャム類、ラムネ、タブレット、錠菓類などが挙げられる。   The food and drink to which the flavor compound of the present invention is added is not particularly limited as long as it is a coffee food or drink.

コーヒーの代表的な香調であるスモーキー様の香調をa1、穀物様の香調をa2、サワー様の香調をb1、フルーティー様の香調をb2、フローラル様の香調をb3とし、芳醇感を示す香味バランスを(a1+a2)/(b1+b2+b3)としたときに、香味バランスが0.5以下に調整することが芳醇感の付与及び増強になることがわかった。   A1 is a smoky-like scent that is a typical scent of coffee, a2 is a cereal-like scent, b1 is a sour-like scent, b2 is a fruity-like scent, b2 is a floral-like scent, and b3 is a floral-like scent. It was found that when the flavor balance showing the richness is (a1 + a2) / (b1 + b2 + b3), adjusting the flavor balance to 0.5 or less results in imparting and enhancing the richness.
