Description

本発明は、新規な発酵乳およびその製造方法に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a novel fermented milk and a method for producing the same.

一般的に、タンパク質を高濃度で含む発酵乳は、濃厚な食感や風味が楽しめる点に特徴がある。しかし、タンパク質のネットワークが強固に形成された結果、硬度や粘度が高く、ざらつくことが知られている。発酵乳が硬くざらつくと、喫食時の舌触り等の食感が悪くなる。また、液状発酵乳においては、粘度が高いと、もたついて飲み込みづらくなる。
これらの課題は、特に無脂肪の発酵乳で大きな問題となっている。
In general, fermented milk containing a high concentration of protein is characterized in that it can enjoy a rich texture and flavor. However, it is known that as a result of the strong formation of a protein network, the hardness and viscosity are high and the protein is rough. If the fermented milk is hard and rough, the texture such as the texture at the time of eating deteriorates. In addition, in liquid fermented milk, if the viscosity is high, it becomes sluggish and difficult to swallow.
These issues have become a major problem, especially in non-fat fermented milk.

タンパク質を高濃度で含む発酵乳の製造方法は、種々の方法が知られている。
例えば、特許文献1には、タンパク質5.6重量%以上の発酵乳の製造方法が記載されており、110〜145℃で0.1〜30秒間加熱殺菌した発酵乳ミックスを用いることが開示されている。この製造方法によれば、タンパク質を高濃度で含んでいるにもかかわらず、滑らかな食感を有する発酵乳を得ることができるとされている。
Various methods are known for producing fermented milk containing a high concentration of protein.
For example, Patent Document 1 describes a method for producing fermented milk having a protein content of 5.6% by weight or more, and discloses that a fermented milk mix sterilized by heating at 110 to 145 ° C. for 0.1 to 30 seconds is used. ing. According to this production method, it is said that fermented milk having a smooth texture can be obtained even though it contains a high concentration of protein.

特許文献2には、タンパク質5.6重量%以上の発酵乳の製造方法が記載されており、殺菌済の発酵乳ミックスにスターターおよびラクターゼを加えて発酵させる方法が開示されている。この製造方法によれば、タンパク質が高濃度でふくまれているにもかかわらず、ざらつきなどによる食感や風味の悪化がなく、滑らかな食感を有する発酵乳を得ることができるとされている。 Patent Document 2 describes a method for producing fermented milk having a protein content of 5.6% by weight or more, and discloses a method for fermenting a sterilized fermented milk mix by adding a starter and lactase. According to this production method, it is said that fermented milk having a smooth texture can be obtained without deterioration of texture and flavor due to roughness, etc., even though the protein is contained in a high concentration. ..

非特許文献1には、タンパク質8%、脂肪0.5%未満の発酵乳において、カゼインタンパク質とホエイタンパク質に対するカゼインタンパク質比率が高い発酵乳は、硬度が低く、粒子径が小さいことが開示されている。 Non-Patent Document 1 discloses that, among fermented milks having 8% protein and less than 0.5% fat, fermented milk having a high ratio of casein protein to casein protein and whey protein has low hardness and small particle size. There is.

一方、特許文献3には、発酵時間を短縮する方法として、原料ミックスを高圧で均質化し、発酵終了時のpHを4.7〜5.4とする製造方法が開示されている。この製造方法によれば、醗酵時間を短縮しても十分な硬度を有する発酵乳を製造することができるとされている。 On the other hand, Patent Document 3 discloses a production method in which the raw material mix is homogenized at high pressure and the pH at the end of fermentation is 4.7 to 5.4 as a method for shortening the fermentation time. According to this production method, it is said that fermented milk having sufficient hardness can be produced even if the fermentation time is shortened.

(Fermented milk)
In the present invention, "fermented milk" refers to animal milk such as milk or milk containing a non-fat milk solid content equal to or higher than this, by any one of lactic acid bacteria, bifidobacteria, yeast, or a combination thereof. It is fermented. Fermented milk can be classified into 1) stationary fermented milk, 2) agitated fermented milk, and 3) liquid fermented milk.

1)静置型発酵乳は、ハードタイプの発酵乳と称され、小売容器に充填して発酵させたプリン状の組織を有するものであり、例えば以下のように製造される。まず、乳、乳製品、ショ糖等の原材料を混合・溶解して調製した発酵ミックスを均質化、殺菌、冷却した後、乳酸菌スターターを接種し、容器に充填して密封してから培養室や発酵トンネル内で発酵させ、適度な酸度になった時点で直ちに10℃以下に冷却して発酵を終了させ、最終製品とする。静置型発酵乳には、スプレッドタイプの発酵乳も含まれる。
2)攪拌型発酵乳は、ソフトタイプの発酵乳とも称され、発酵ミックスに乳酸菌スターターを添加し、タンクで発酵後、カードを破砕して容器に充填して、最終製品とする。
3)液状発酵乳は、発酵ミックスを攪拌型発酵乳と同様の方法で発酵させ、カードを破砕後に均質化して液状にした発酵乳を最終製品とする。

1) The stationary fermented milk is called a hard type fermented milk and has a pudding-like structure filled in a retail container and fermented. For example, it is produced as follows. First, the fermentation mix prepared by mixing and dissolving raw materials such as milk, dairy products, and sucrose is homogenized, sterilized, and cooled. Fermentation is carried out in a fermentation tunnel, and when the acidity reaches an appropriate level, the temperature is immediately cooled to 10 ° C. or lower to complete the fermentation, and the final product is obtained. The stationary fermented milk also includes a spread type fermented milk.
2) Stirring type fermented milk is also called soft type fermented milk. Lactic acid bacteria starter is added to the fermentation mix, fermented in a tank, and the curd is crushed and filled in a container to make a final product.
3) For liquid fermented milk, the fermented milk is obtained by fermenting the fermented mix in the same manner as the stirring type fermented milk, crushing the curd and then homogenizing it into a liquid form as the final product.
In the present invention, among the above, 1) stationary fermented milk and 3) liquid fermented milk are included. In the present application, 1) stationary fermented milk and 3) liquid fermented milk may be collectively referred to as the fermented milk of the present invention.

(タンパク質量)
本発明発酵乳において「高タンパク質量」とは、普通牛乳に含まれる3.4重量%を超えるタンパク質を含むことを指す。本発明発酵乳のタンパク質量は3.4重量%を越えるものであれば制限はないが、4重量%以上とすることも可能であり、5重量%以上20重量%以下とすることもでき、さらに5重量%以上9重量%以下とすることもできる。
本発明では、タンパク質を高濃度で含有することによる濃厚な風味を得るために、タンパク質量は4重量%以上であることが好ましい。

In the fermented milk of the present invention, the "high protein amount" means that the milk contains more than 3.4% by weight of protein contained in ordinary milk. The amount of protein in the fermented milk of the present invention is not limited as long as it exceeds 3.4% by weight, but it can be 4% by weight or more, and can be 5% by weight or more and 20% by weight or less. Further, it can be 5% by weight or more and 9% by weight or less.
In the present invention, the amount of protein is preferably 4% by weight or more in order to obtain a rich flavor due to the high concentration of protein.

The liquid fermented milks of Examples 15 and 16 were not rough, had a smooth viscosity and were easy to drink, had a good texture and flavor, and maintained a good texture and flavor even after 7 days of storage. On the other hand, Comparative Examples 3 and 4 had a high viscosity, were sluggish and difficult to drink, and had a rough texture and a poor texture.
The cause of such a result is that the fermented milk of Comparative Example 1 was liquefied in Comparative Examples 3 and 4, and the fermented milk of Comparative Example 1 had a casein protein ratio of 79 to casein protein and whey protein. Since it is%, it is considered that it is because it did not reach 83% specified in the present invention.
