Description

本発明は、α−アミラーゼとセルラーゼを特定の順序で作用させることを特徴とする、澱粉の老化による食感劣化が抑制された澱粉含有植物原料、当該澱粉含有植物原料配合食品及びそれらの製造方法、澱粉の老化による食感の劣化抑制方法に関する。 The present invention is characterized in that α-amylase and cellulase act in a specific order, a starch-containing plant material in which deterioration of texture due to aging of starch is suppressed, a food containing the starch-containing plant material, and a method for producing the same. , The present invention relates to a method for suppressing deterioration of texture due to aging of starch.

α化した澱粉は常温や低温で放置すると、水分が分離し硬くなる。この現象を老化と言い、澱粉の老化現象については数多くの研究がなされている。特に食品分野においては、澱粉の老化により食感が劣化するという課題があるため、様々な老化抑制方法が報告されている。特に、アセチル基やエーテル基などの親水性官能基を付加し化学的修飾を施した加工澱粉の老化耐性は非常に高く、多くの加工食品に利用されている。 When the pregelatinized starch is left at room temperature or low temperature, water is separated and it becomes hard. This phenomenon is called aging, and many studies have been conducted on the aging phenomenon of starch. In particular, in the food field, there is a problem that the texture deteriorates due to the aging of starch, so various methods for suppressing aging have been reported. In particular, processed starch to which a hydrophilic functional group such as an acetyl group or an ether group has been added and chemically modified has extremely high aging resistance and is used in many processed foods.

一方、近年の健康志向から、野菜原料や果物原料を配合した加工食品が増えており、これらをペースト状にして練り込んだベーカリー類、菓子類、麺類等が製造されている。一般的に、ベーカリー類、菓子類、麺類等を製造する場合、親水性官能基を付加した加工澱粉を配合することで、老化による食感劣化を大幅に抑制することができるが、野菜原料や果物原料を練り込む場合、これらに内在する澱粉質が保存中に老化し、食感が劣化することがある。特に澱粉含有量の多い野菜、例えばイモ類、豆類、とうもろこし、かぼちゃ等を配合する場合、澱粉含有植物由来の澱粉質の老化による食感劣化が著しい。澱粉含有植物由来の澱粉の老化は、澱粉含有植物を配合した加工食品を製造する上で避けることはできず、澱粉老化抑制効果が報告されているいかなる素材を添加しても、一定の効果は期待されるものの、澱粉の老化による食感劣化を完全に抑制することは困難である。 On the other hand, due to health consciousness in recent years, the number of processed foods containing vegetable raw materials and fruit raw materials is increasing, and bakeries, confectioneries, noodles and the like are manufactured by kneading these into a paste. Generally, when producing bakeries, confectionery, noodles, etc., by blending modified starch with a hydrophilic functional group, deterioration of texture due to aging can be significantly suppressed, but vegetable raw materials and When kneading fruit raw materials, the starch substance contained therein may age during storage and the texture may deteriorate. In particular, when vegetables having a high starch content, such as potatoes, beans, corn, and pumpkin, are blended, the texture of starch-containing plant-derived starch is significantly deteriorated due to aging. Starch-containing plant-derived starch aging is unavoidable in the production of processed foods containing starch-containing plants, and any material that has been reported to have a starch aging-suppressing effect has a certain effect. Although expected, it is difficult to completely suppress the deterioration of texture due to aging of starch.

澱粉含有植物由来の澱粉の老化により生じる、澱粉含有植物を配合した加工食品の食感劣化を完全に抑制する手段は未だ存在しない。
澱粉含有植物原料として、摩砕したペーストや、乾燥して粉砕した粉末等を製造する場合においては、高品質な原料を製造するための様々な方法が報告されている。例えば、澱粉貯蔵植物加工物に澱粉分解酵素を反応させた後噴霧乾燥することを特徴とする澱粉貯蔵植物粉末の製造方法が示されている(特許文献1)。当該方法により、粉末の流動性や液への分散性がよく、滑らかな食感になる効果が得られるが、澱粉質を完全に分解する手法ではないため、老化による食感劣化の抑制効果は限定的である。また、澱粉分解酵素による反応後に、植物組織崩壊酵素を反応させる手段についても記載されているが、植物組織崩壊酵素の使用を必須としていない。
There is still no means to completely suppress the deterioration of the texture of processed foods containing starch-containing plants, which is caused by the aging of starch derived from starch-containing plants.
In the case of producing a ground paste, a dried and crushed powder, or the like as a starch-containing plant raw material, various methods for producing a high-quality raw material have been reported. For example, a method for producing a starch-storing plant powder is described, which comprises reacting a processed starch-storing plant with a starch-degrading enzyme and then spray-drying it (Patent Document 1). By this method, the fluidity of the powder and the dispersibility in the liquid are good, and the effect of obtaining a smooth texture can be obtained. Limited. It also describes a means for reacting a plant tissue-disintegrating enzyme after a reaction with a starch-degrading enzyme, but the use of the plant tissue-disintegrating enzyme is not essential.

また澱粉含有野菜ペーストに澱粉分解酵素を反応させ、加熱失活後、酵素未処理の澱粉含有野菜ペーストと混合し乾燥粉末化した野菜パウダーの製造方法が示されている(特許文献2)。当該方法により粉末の分散性が向上するが、澱粉質を完全に分解する手法ではないため、老化による食感劣化抑制効果は限定的である。 Further, a method for producing a vegetable powder obtained by reacting a starch-containing vegetable paste with a starch-degrading enzyme, inactivating it by heating, and then mixing it with an enzyme-untreated starch-containing vegetable paste to make a dry powder is shown (Patent Document 2). Although the dispersibility of the powder is improved by this method, the effect of suppressing the deterioration of texture due to aging is limited because it is not a method of completely decomposing starch.

さらに加熱水蒸気処理及びチョッパーで粉砕した野菜に酵素を添加し反応させ、失活処理をした野菜ペーストの製造方法が示されている(特許文献3)。当該手法により、色調、味、風味の改善の他、良好な食感維持に関する記載もあるが、使用する酵素はアミラーゼかセルラーゼのいずれか一方又は両方であることが記載されている。 Further, a method for producing a vegetable paste which has been deactivated by adding an enzyme to vegetables crushed by heat steam treatment and a chopper is shown (Patent Document 3). In addition to improving the color tone, taste, and flavor, there is a description about maintaining a good texture by this method, but it is described that the enzyme used is either one or both of amylase and cellulase.

α−アミラーゼとセルラーゼを用いた植物ペーストの製造方法としては他にも報告があり、ケール又はニラに液中機械的微粉砕と併せ植物組織崩壊・繊維分解酵素を反応させる方法が示されている(特許文献4)。澱粉質液化酵素、すなわち澱粉分解酵素との併用に関する記載もあるが、併用する場合も澱粉質液化酵素の後に植物組織崩壊・繊維分解酵素の順であり、対象も澱粉質を多く含む植物ではない。 There are other reports on the method for producing a plant paste using α-amylase and cellulase, and a method for reacting kale or garlic with a plant tissue disintegrating / fibrogenic enzyme in combination with submerged mechanical pulverization has been shown. (Patent Document 4). There is also a description about the combined use with starch liquefying enzyme, that is, starch degrading enzyme, but even when used in combination, starch liquefying enzyme is followed by plant tissue disintegration / fibrogenic enzyme, and the target is not a plant containing a large amount of starch. ..

野菜等の植物をα−アミラーゼやセルラーゼにより改質する方法としては、セルラーゼ等を反応させることによる野菜の軟化方法(特許文献5)、α−アミラーゼ、プロテアーゼ、ペクチナーゼを配合することを特徴とする炊飯用の浸漬時間短縮製剤(特許文献6)、α−アミラーゼ、セルラーゼ等を作用させることを特徴とするお粥や雑炊の製造方法(特許文献7)等が報告されている。また、野菜等の植物を酵素により改質する方法は他にも多く知られており、結果的にそれらを用いた加工食品の食感劣化抑制に一定の効果が見られる場合もあるが、澱粉含有植物中に存在する澱粉質を分解し澱粉質を消失させることで、老化による食感劣化への影響をなくすことに成功した事例はない。 A method for modifying a plant such as vegetables with α-amylase or cellulase is characterized by blending a method for softening vegetables by reacting cellulase or the like (Patent Document 5), α-amylase, protease, and pectinase. There have been reports on a preparation for shortening the immersion time for rice cooking (Patent Document 6), a method for producing porridge and porridge, which is characterized by allowing α-amylase, cellulase, and the like to act (Patent Document 7). In addition, many other methods for modifying plants such as vegetables with enzymes are known, and as a result, a certain effect may be seen in suppressing the deterioration of texture of processed foods using them, but starch There has been no successful case of eliminating the effect on texture deterioration due to aging by decomposing the starch substance existing in the contained plants and eliminating the starch substance.

得られた酵素分解澱粉含有植物原料、すなわち酵素分解かぼちゃペーストを用いて、焼菓子を製造した。卓上ミキサー「KitchenAidスタンドミキサー」(KitchenAid社製)に、表2に示す配合にて原料を投入し、1速3分、2速7分の順に合計10分間混合した。得られた生地を11gの球形に成形し、スチームコンベクションオーブン「コンビオーブンSelf Cooking Center」(フジマック社製)にて180℃で9分間焼成し、焼菓子を得た。試験区は表3に示す7試験区で、試験区1は酵素を添加していないコントロール区である。焼菓子は、焼成後10分間室温にて放冷した後、5℃にて7日間保存することで、強制的に澱粉の老化を促進させた。澱粉は、低温にて老化が急速に進むことが知られている。保存後の焼菓子は、官能評価に供した。 A baked confectionery was produced using the obtained enzymatically decomposed starch-containing plant raw material, that is, the enzymatically decomposed pumpkin paste. The raw materials were added to the tabletop mixer "KitchenAid Stand Mixer" (manufactured by KitchenAid) according to the formulation shown in Table 2, and mixed for a total of 10 minutes in the order of 1st speed 3 minutes and 2nd speed 7 minutes. The obtained dough was formed into a spherical shape of 11 g and baked in a steam convection oven "Combi Oven Self Cooking Center" (manufactured by Fujimac Corporation) at 180 ° C. for 9 minutes to obtain baked confectionery. The test plots are the 7 test plots shown in Table 3, and the test plot 1 is a control plot to which no enzyme is added. The baked confectionery was allowed to cool at room temperature for 10 minutes after baking, and then stored at 5 ° C. for 7 days to forcibly accelerate the aging of starch. Starch is known to age rapidly at low temperatures. The baked confectionery after storage was subjected to sensory evaluation.

官能評価は、食感に着目して澱粉の老化状態を評価し、無添加区(試験区1)を0点、老化の進んでいない製造直後の無添加区の食感を5点とした評点法にて、4名のパネルで行った。製造直後の焼菓子は、ソフトでしっとりしていてもちもちとした食感であり、5℃にて7日間保存したサンプルは、老化が進むことで、硬くパサパサとした乾いた食感になる。 In the sensory evaluation, the aging state of starch was evaluated by focusing on the texture, and the additive-free group (test group 1) was given a score of 0, and the texture of the additive-free group immediately after production was given a score of 5 points. By law, it was done with a panel of 4 people. Immediately after production, the baked confectionery has a soft, moist and chewy texture, and the sample stored at 5 ° C. for 7 days becomes a hard, dry and dry texture as it ages.

評点は、5点が「全く老化していない」、4点が「極めて顕著に老化が抑制されている」、3点が「顕著に老化が抑制されている」、2点が「老化が抑制されている」、1点が「やや老化が抑制されている」、0点が「全く老化が抑制されていない(無添加区の老化レベル)」と定義した。0.1点刻みで評点を付し、4名の平均点を官能評価結果とした。当該手法にて評価することで、全ての試験区にエーテル化タピオカ澱粉は等量配合されており、酵素分解かぼちゃペースト中の酵素は失活処理をしていることから、酵素分解かぼちゃペーストに内在する澱粉の冷蔵保存中の老化状態は食感を指標に比較することができる。尚、エーテル化タピオカ澱粉は、老化しにくい化学的修飾を施した加工澱粉である。結果を表3に示す。 As for the score, 5 points are "not aging at all", 4 points are "extremely suppressed aging", 3 points are "significantly suppressed aging", and 2 points are "suppressed aging". 1 point was defined as "slightly suppressed aging", and 0 point was defined as "no aging was suppressed (aging level in the additive-free group)". Scores were given in increments of 0.1 points, and the average score of the four subjects was used as the sensory evaluation result. By evaluation by this method, all test plots contained equal amounts of etherified tapioca starch, and the enzymes in the enzymatically decomposed pumpkin paste were inactivated, so they were contained in the enzymatically decomposed pumpkin paste. The aging state of starch during cold storage can be compared using the texture as an index. The etherified tapioca starch is a modified starch that is chemically modified to prevent aging. The results are shown in Table 3.

表3に示す通り、澱粉分解酵素であるα−アミラーゼ、β−アミラーゼ、グルコアミラーゼを添加することによって一定の老化抑制効果が確認され、特にα−アミラーゼによる老化抑制効果が大きかったが、製造直後の食感に比べると明らかに老化が進んでいた。一方、細胞壁構成成分の分解酵素であるセルラーゼ、ヘミセルラーゼ、ペクチナーゼの添加による老化抑制効果は確認されなかった。 As shown in Table 3, a certain anti-aging effect was confirmed by adding the starch-degrading enzymes α-amylase, β-amylase, and glucoamylase, and the anti-aging effect of α-amylase was particularly large, but immediately after production. Compared to the texture of, the aging was clearly advanced. On the other hand, the antiaging effect of the addition of cellulase, hemicellulase, and pectinase, which are degrading enzymes of cell wall components, was not confirmed.

(Example 2)
A starch-containing plant paste was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1 with the formulation shown in Table 1 using pumpkin puree and pumpkin powder. Various enzymes shown in Table 4 were added to the starch-containing plant paste, and the mixture was reacted at 34 ° C. for 1 hour and then subjected to enzyme inactivation treatment at 98 ° C. for 15 minutes to obtain an enzymatically decomposed starch-containing plant raw material. .. The enzymes used and the amount of each enzyme added were the same as in Example 1. Test group 1 is a control group to which no enzyme is added, test groups 6 to 8 are two types of enzyme combination groups, and test groups 9 to 10 are three types of enzyme combination groups. The enzyme combination group was a combination of α-amylase, which is a starch-degrading enzyme having the highest anti-aging effect in Example 1, and a degrading enzyme of various cell wall constituents. Using the obtained enzymatically decomposed starch-containing plant raw material, that is, enzymatically decomposed pumpkin paste, baked confectionery was produced by the same method as in Example 1. The obtained baked confectionery was allowed to cool at room temperature for 10 minutes after baking, and then stored at 5 ° C. for 7 days to forcibly accelerate the aging of starch. The baked confectionery after storage was subjected to sensory evaluation. The sensory evaluation was performed by the same scoring method as in Example 1. The results are shown in Table 4.

表4に示す通り、α−アミラーゼの単独添加に比べ、α−アミラーゼと各種細胞壁構成成分分解酵素を併用することにより、老化抑制効果は明らかに増加した(試験区6〜10)。特にα−アミラーゼとセルラーゼを併用した試験区6、試験区9、試験区10は老化の程度が小さかった。
以上より、α−アミラーゼとセルラーゼを澱粉含有植物ペーストに作用させて得られた酵素分解澱粉含有植物原料を用いて澱粉含有植物原料配合加工食品を製造することで、保存中の澱粉老化による食感の劣化を大幅に抑制できることが示された。当該効果は、α−アミラーゼにより澱粉含有植物ペーストに内在する澱粉質を分解することにより、内在する澱粉質の量が減少し、すなわち老化により食感の劣化を引き起こす原因となる澱粉質の量が減少し、結果的に澱粉含有植物原料配合加工食品の食感の劣化が抑制されたものと考えられる。また、α−アミラーゼ単独添加では効果が小さく、細胞壁構成成分分解酵素との併用により大幅に老化抑制効果が高まることから、澱粉含有植物ペースト中の澱粉質が澱粉貯蔵細胞の内部に一定量存在し、酵素により細胞壁が分解されて細胞内の澱粉質に対しα−アミラーゼが反応しやすい状態になったものと考えられる。細胞壁構成成分分解酵素の中でも、特にセルラーゼをα−アミラーゼと併用した場合の効果が高いのは、セルラーゼの基質であるセルロースが、細胞壁構成成分の中でも特に主要な成分であるためである。
以上のように、澱粉老化抑制におけるこれまでの一般的な概念とは全く異なり、老化により食感劣化を引き起こす要因となる澱粉質自体をα−アミラーゼで分解するという思考は全く新しく、更には、澱粉貯蔵細胞に内在する澱粉質をα−アミラーゼが反応しやすい状態にするために、細胞壁構成成分分解酵素を併用することで細胞壁を分解するという発想は、容易に想像し得るものではない。
As shown in Table 4, the anti-aging effect was clearly increased by the combined use of α-amylase and various cell wall component-degrading enzymes as compared with the addition of α-amylase alone (Test Group 6 to 10). In particular, the degree of aging was small in Test Group 6, Test Group 9, and Test Group 10 in which α-amylase and cellulase were used in combination.
Based on the above, by producing a processed food containing starch-containing plant raw materials using enzymatically decomposed starch-containing plant raw materials obtained by reacting α-amylase and cellulase on starch-containing plant paste, the texture due to starch aging during storage is produced. It was shown that the deterioration of the paste can be significantly suppressed. The effect is that the amount of starch contained in the starch-containing plant paste is reduced by α-amylase, that is, the amount of starch that causes deterioration of texture due to aging is reduced. It is considered that the decrease was achieved, and as a result, the deterioration of the texture of the processed food containing starch-containing plant raw materials was suppressed. In addition, the effect of adding α-amylase alone is small, and the effect of suppressing aging is significantly enhanced by the combined use with the cell wall component degrading enzyme. Therefore, a certain amount of starch in the starch-containing plant paste is present inside the starch storage cells. It is considered that the cell wall was decomposed by the enzyme and α-amylase easily reacted with the starch in the cell. Among the cell wall component-degrading enzymes, the effect of using cellulase in combination with α-amylase is particularly high because cellulose, which is a substrate of cellulase, is a particularly main component among cell wall components.
As described above, unlike the conventional general concept of starch aging suppression, the idea of decomposing starch itself, which causes deterioration of texture due to aging, with α-amylase is completely new, and further. The idea of degrading the cell wall by using a cell wall component-degrading enzyme in combination with α-amylase in order to make the starch substance contained in the starch storage cells more responsive to α-amylase cannot be easily imagined.

(Example 3)
A starch-containing plant paste was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1 with the formulation shown in Table 1 using pumpkin puree and pumpkin powder. Various enzymes shown in Table 5 were allowed to act on the starch-containing plant paste in the order shown in Table 5.
For example, in Test Group 2, the same as in Test Group 2 of Example 1, α-amylase was reacted at 34 ° C. for 1 hour, and then enzyme inactivation treatment was performed at 98 ° C. for 15 minutes. In Test Group 3, α-amylase was replaced with cellulase in the same manner.
Test group 4 was the same as test group 6 of Example 2, and after adding α-amylase and cellulase at the same time and reacting at 34 ° C. for 1 hour, enzyme inactivation treatment was performed at 98 ° C. for 15 minutes. ..
In Test Group 5, after reacting α-amylase at 34 ° C. for 1 hour, no enzyme inactivation treatment was performed, and cellulase was additionally added and reacted at 34 ° C. for another 1 hour, and then at 98 ° C. The enzyme inactivation treatment was carried out for 15 minutes. In Test Group 6, the order of α-amylase and cellulase was changed and the same procedure was performed.
In Test Group 7, after reacting α-amylase at 34 ° C. for 1 hour, enzyme inactivation treatment was performed at 98 ° C. for 15 minutes, and cellulase was additionally added and reacted at 34 ° C. for another 1 hour. , The enzyme inactivation treatment was performed again at 98 ° C. for 15 minutes. In Test Group 8, the order of α-amylase and cellulase was changed and the same procedure was performed.
Therefore, in the test group 5 and the test group 6, the enzyme added earlier and the enzyme added later can react at the same time, but the test group 7 and the test group 8 react separately in their respective orders.
Through the enzyme reaction treatment steps of each test group, an enzymatically decomposed starch-containing plant raw material was obtained. The enzymes used and the amount of each enzyme added were the same as in Example 1.
Using the obtained enzymatically decomposed starch-containing plant raw material, that is, enzymatically decomposed pumpkin paste, baked confectionery was produced by the same method as in Example 1. The obtained baked confectionery was allowed to cool at room temperature for 10 minutes after baking, and then stored at 5 ° C. for 7 days to forcibly accelerate the aging of starch. The baked confectionery after storage was subjected to sensory evaluation. The sensory evaluation was performed by the same scoring method as in Example 1. The results are shown in Table 5.

表5に示す通り、α−アミラーゼとセルラーゼの両方を添加している試験区4〜試験区8の中で、試験区7以外は併用による大きな老化抑制効果が確認されたが、試験区7のみ、α−アミラーゼ単独添加の試験区2とほとんど変わらなかった。
以上より、実施例2に記載した、セルラーゼが細胞壁を分解することで澱粉貯蔵細胞に内在する澱粉質をα−アミラーゼが反応しやすい状態にしているという仮説が正しいことが示された。すなわち、試験区4は、α−アミラーゼとセルラーゼが同時に作用し得るため、セルラーゼにより細胞壁が分解されることでα−アミラーゼが細胞内在澱粉質も分解することが可能となる。試験区5は、α−アミラーゼを反応させた後に失活処理をせずにセルラーゼを添加しているため、結果的にα−アミラーゼとセルラーゼが同時に作用し得る状態となる。試験区6は、試験区5と同様、α−アミラーゼとセルラーゼが同時に作用し得る。試験区7は、α−アミラーゼによる反応後、失活処理をした後にセルラーゼを添加しており、セルラーゼの反応により細胞壁が分解されても細胞内在澱粉質を分解するα−アミラーゼは活性を持たないため、併用することの効果が得られない。試験区8は、セルラーゼにより細胞壁が分解された後に失活処理を行い、細胞内在澱粉質に対して反応しやすい状態でα−アミラーゼを添加しているため、両酵素が同時に反応する状態にはなくとも、十分な老化抑制効果が得られている。すなわち、澱粉の老化により食感が劣化することのない澱粉含有植物原料を製造する、又は澱粉の老化による食感劣化の影響を受けることのない澱粉含有植物原料配合加工食品を製造するためには、澱粉含有植物ペーストにα−アミラーゼとセルラーゼを同時に作用させる、又はセルラーゼを作用させた後にα−アミラーゼを作用させることが必要であり、作用させる順序が逆の場合では当該効果は得られないことが示された。尚、ここで言う「作用」とは、活性を有した酵素が基質に対して触媒反応を進行することを意味し、作用順序とは当該作用の順序であり、酵素を添加する順序ではない。
As shown in Table 5, among the test groups 4 to 8 to which both α-amylase and cellulase were added, a large anti-aging effect was confirmed by the combined use except for the test group 7, but only in the test group 7. , Α-Amylase alone was added in Test Group 2, which was almost the same.
From the above, it was shown that the hypothesis described in Example 2 that cellulase decomposes the cell wall to make the starch substance contained in the starch storage cells into a state in which α-amylase easily reacts is correct. That is, in Test Group 4, since α-amylase and cellulase can act at the same time, α-amylase can also decompose intracellular starch by decomposing the cell wall by cellulase. In Test Group 5, since cellulase is added without inactivation treatment after reacting α-amylase, as a result, α-amylase and cellulase can act at the same time. In test group 6, α-amylase and cellulase can act at the same time as in test group 5. In Test Group 7, cellulase is added after the reaction with α-amylase and then inactivated, and even if the cell wall is decomposed by the reaction of cellulase, α-amylase that decomposes intracellular starch has no activity. Therefore, the effect of using them together cannot be obtained. In Test Group 8, after the cell wall is decomposed by cellulase, inactivation treatment is performed, and α-amylase is added in a state in which it easily reacts with intracellular starch, so that both enzymes react at the same time. Even if it is not present, a sufficient antiaging effect is obtained. That is, in order to produce a starch-containing plant material whose texture does not deteriorate due to aging of starch, or to produce a processed food containing starch-containing plant material which is not affected by the deterioration of texture due to aging of starch. , It is necessary to allow α-amylase and cellulase to act simultaneously on the starch-containing plant paste, or to allow α-amylase to act after the cellulase is allowed to act, and the effect cannot be obtained if the order of action is reversed. It has been shown. The term "action" as used herein means that the active enzyme proceeds with a catalytic reaction on the substrate, and the order of action is the order of the action, not the order in which the enzyme is added.

(Example 4)
A starch-containing plant paste was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1 with the formulation shown in Table 1 using pumpkin puree and pumpkin powder. Various enzymes shown in Table 6 were added to the starch-containing plant paste, and the mixture was reacted at 34 ° C. for 1 hour and then subjected to enzyme inactivation treatment at 98 ° C. for 15 minutes to obtain an enzymatically decomposed starch-containing plant raw material. ..

表6に示す通り、α−アミラーゼとセルラーゼを併用することにより一定の老化抑制効果が確認されたが、効果の程度は添加量依存的に増大した。α−アミラーゼとセルラーゼを併用する場合のα−アミラーゼの添加量は、澱粉含有植物ペースト固形分1gあたり2.5u以上で老化抑制効果が明確に確認され、25u以上で顕著な老化抑制効果が確認された。セルラーゼの添加量は、0.02u以上で老化抑制効果が明確に確認され、1u以上で顕著な老化抑制効果が確認された。 As shown in Table 6, a certain anti-aging effect was confirmed by the combined use of α-amylase and cellulase, but the degree of the effect increased depending on the amount of addition. When the amount of α-amylase added in combination with α-amylase and cellulase was 2.5 u or more per 1 g of starch-containing plant paste solids, the anti-aging effect was clearly confirmed, and when it was 25 u or more, a remarkable anti-aging effect was confirmed. Was done. When the amount of cellulase added was 0.02u or more, the anti-aging effect was clearly confirmed, and when it was 1u or more, a remarkable anti-aging effect was confirmed.

以上より、澱粉含有植物ペーストにα−アミラーゼとセルラーゼを同時に作用させる場合において、α−アミラーゼの添加量は、澱粉含有植物ペースト固形分1gあたり2.5u以上が好ましく、25u以上がより好ましい、セルラーゼの添加量は、澱粉含有植物ペースト固形分1gあたり0.02u以上が好ましく、1u以上がより好ましいことが示された。 From the above, when α-amylase and cellulase are allowed to act simultaneously on the starch-containing plant paste, the amount of α-amylase added is preferably 2.5 u or more, more preferably 25 u or more per 1 g of the starch-containing plant paste solid content, and cellulase.

A starch-containing plant paste was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1 with the formulation shown in Table 7 using corn paste and corn powder. With this formulation, the water content of the starch-containing plant paste is about 50%. Various enzymes shown in Table 8 were added to the starch-containing plant paste, and the mixture was reacted at 34 ° C. for 1 hour and then subjected to enzyme inactivation treatment at 98 ° C. for 15 minutes to obtain an enzymatically decomposed starch-containing plant raw material. .. The corn paste was manufactured by Marutake Koike Constant Temperature Warehouse, and the corn powder was manufactured by Ajinomoto Food Manufacturing Co., Ltd. The enzymes used and the amount of each enzyme added were the same as in Example 1.

表8に示す通り、α−アミラーゼ単独添加ではやや老化が抑制されたものの製造直後に比べると明らかに食感の劣化が進んでおり(試験区2)、セルラーゼ単独添加では老化抑制効果は全く得られなかった(試験区3)。一方、α−アミラーゼとセルラーゼを併用することにより、老化抑制効果は明らかに増加した(試験区4)。以上の結果は、実施例2の表4に示した酵素分解パンプキンペーストを用いて製造した焼菓子での結果と全く同じ傾向であった。
以上より、澱粉含有植物ペースト中の澱粉質が澱粉貯蔵細胞の内部に一定量存在し、セルラーゼにより細胞壁が分解されて細胞内の澱粉質に対しα−アミラーゼが反応しやすい状態になることで、食感劣化の要因である澱粉質自体をα−アミラーゼで分解し澱粉含有植物原料配合加工食品の食感劣化を抑制する効果は、澱粉質を含有するあらゆる植物ペーストを用いた酵素分解澱粉含有植物原料の製造及び当該原料を配合した加工食品の製造において広く応用可能であることが示された。
As shown in Table 8, although aging was slightly suppressed by adding α-amylase alone, the texture was clearly deteriorated compared to immediately after production (Test Group 2), and the aging suppressing effect was completely obtained by adding cellulase alone. Not done (test plot 3). On the other hand, the combined use of α-amylase and cellulase clearly increased the anti-aging effect (Test Group 4). The above results had exactly the same tendency as the results of the baked confectionery produced by using the enzymatically decomposed pumpkin paste shown in Table 4 of Example 2.
From the above, a certain amount of starch in the starch-containing plant paste is present inside the starch storage cells, and the cell wall is decomposed by cellulase, so that α-amylase easily reacts with the intracellular starch. The effect of decomposing starch itself, which is a factor of texture deterioration, with α-amylase and suppressing the texture deterioration of processed foods containing starch-containing plant raw materials is an enzymatically decomposed starch-containing plant using any starch-containing plant paste. It was shown that it can be widely applied in the production of raw materials and the production of processed foods containing the raw materials.

パンプキンピューレ及びパンプキンパウダーを用いた表1の配合にて、実施例1と同様の方法で澱粉含有植物ペーストを調製した。当該配合により、澱粉含有植物ペーストの水分含量は約50%となる。澱粉含有植物ペーストには、表10に示す各種酵素を配合し、34℃にて1時間反応させた後、98℃にて15分間酵素失活処理を行い、酵素分解澱粉含有植物原料、すなわち酵素分解かぼちゃペーストを得た。使用した酵素及び各酵素の添加量は、実施例1と同様とした。得られた酵素分解かぼちゃペーストを用いて、表9に示す配合にて生パスタを製造した。事前に袋で均一に混合した粉区分を横型ミキサー(尾久葉鉄工場社製)に投入し、更にペースト区分及び事前に食塩を水に溶解した食塩水を投入し、高速で15分間混合した。尚、食塩水は、混合15分のうち、最初の1分をかけて少量ずつ投入した。得られた生地は押し出し式パスタマシン「FPV-2」(ニップンエンジニアリング社製)に投入し、押出圧力8メガパスカル以上で、1.8mmのダイスを用いて押出成形を行い、かぼちゃ練り込み生パスタを得た。得られた生パスタは沸騰水で4分間ボイルし、あら熱を取った後、オリーブオイルを絡めて5℃にて3日間保存することで、強制的に澱粉の老化を促進させた。保存後の生パスタは、再加熱をせずに室温に戻した状態で官能評価に供した。官能評価は、食感に着目して澱粉の老化状態を評価し、老化の進んでいない製造直後の無添加区の食感を5点とした評点法にて、4名のパネルで行った。製造直後の生パスタはソフトで弾力のあるもちもちとした食感であり、5℃にて3日間保存したサンプルは、老化が進むことで、硬くてボソボソとした食感になる。評点の定義は実施例1と同様とし、実施例1と同様の手法にて官能評価結果を算出した。当該手法にて評価することで、全ての試験区にエーテル化タピオカ澱粉は等量配合されており、酵素分解かぼちゃペースト中の酵素は失活処理をしていることから、酵素分解かぼちゃペーストに内在する澱粉の冷蔵保存中の老化状態は食感を指標に比較することができる。結果を表10に示す。
(Example 6)
A starch-containing plant paste was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1 with the formulation shown in Table 1 using pumpkin puree and pumpkin powder. With this formulation, the water content of the starch-containing plant paste is about 50%. Various enzymes shown in Table 10 were added to the starch-containing plant paste, and the mixture was reacted at 34 ° C. for 1 hour and then subjected to enzyme inactivation treatment at 98 ° C. for 15 minutes. A disassembled pumpkin paste was obtained. The enzymes used and the amount of each enzyme added were the same as in Example 1. Using the obtained enzymatically decomposed pumpkin paste, fresh pasta was produced according to the formulation shown in Table 9. The powder section uniformly mixed in the bag in advance was put into a horizontal mixer (manufactured by Okuha Iron Foundry Co., Ltd.), and the paste section and the saline solution in which salt was previously dissolved in water were added and mixed at high speed for 15 minutes. The saline solution was added little by little over the first 1 minute of the 15 minutes of mixing. The obtained dough is put into an extrusion type pasta machine "FPV-2" (manufactured by Nippon Engineering Co., Ltd.), extruded using a 1.8 mm die at an extrusion pressure of 8 megapascals or more, and pumpkin kneaded fresh pasta. Got The obtained fresh pasta was boiled in boiling water for 4 minutes to remove heat, and then entwined with olive oil and stored at 5 ° C. for 3 days to forcibly accelerate the aging of starch. The fresh pasta after storage was subjected to sensory evaluation in a state where it was returned to room temperature without reheating. The sensory evaluation was carried out by a panel of 4 people by a scoring method in which the aging state of starch was evaluated by paying attention to the texture, and the texture of the additive-free group immediately after the production in which the aging had not progressed was set to 5 points. Fresh pasta immediately after production has a soft, elastic and chewy texture, and a sample stored at 5 ° C. for 3 days becomes a hard and lumpy texture as it ages. The definition of the score was the same as in Example 1, and the sensory evaluation result was calculated by the same method as in Example 1. By evaluation by this method, all test plots contained equal amounts of etherified tapioca starch, and the enzymes in the enzymatically decomposed pumpkin paste were inactivated, so they were contained in the enzymatically decomposed pumpkin paste. The aging state of starch during cold storage can be compared using the texture as an index. The results are shown in Table 10.

表10に示す通り、α−アミラーゼ単独添加ではやや老化が抑制されたものの製造直後に比べると明らかに食感の劣化が進んでおり(試験区2)、セルラーゼ単独添加では老化抑制効果は全く得られなかった(試験区3)。一方、α−アミラーゼとセルラーゼを同時に添加して併用することにより、老化抑制効果は明らかに増加した(試験区4)。 As shown in Table 10, although aging was slightly suppressed by adding α-amylase alone, the texture was clearly deteriorated compared to immediately after production (Test Group 2), and the aging suppressing effect was completely obtained by adding cellulase alone. Not done (test plot 3). On the other hand, by adding α-amylase and cellulase at the same time and using them in combination, the anti-aging effect was clearly increased (Test Group 4).

以上の結果は、実施例2の表4に示した酵素分解パンプキンピューレを用いて製造した焼菓子での結果と全く同じ傾向であった。以上より、澱粉含有植物ペースト中の澱粉質が澱粉貯蔵細胞の内部に一定量存在し、セルラーゼにより細胞壁が分解されて細胞内の澱粉質に対しα−アミラーゼが反応しやすい状態になることで、食感劣化の要因である澱粉質自体をα−アミラーゼで分解し澱粉含有植物原料配合加工食品の食感劣化を抑制する効果は、焼菓子に代表されるベーカリー類や菓子類に限らず、麺類等のいかなる加工食品に対しても広く応用可能であることが示された。 The above results had exactly the same tendency as the results of the baked confectionery produced by using the enzymatically decomposed pumpkin puree shown in Table 4 of Example 2. From the above, a certain amount of starch in the starch-containing plant paste is present inside the starch storage cells, and the cell wall is decomposed by cellulase, so that α-amylase easily reacts with the intracellular starch. The effect of decomposing starch itself, which is a factor of texture deterioration, with α-amylase and suppressing the texture deterioration of processed foods containing starch-containing plant raw materials is not limited to bakeries and confectioneries represented by baked confectionery, but noodles. It has been shown that it can be widely applied to any processed foods such as.
