Description

The present invention relates to a composition for seasoning in a container, a processed food using the composition, a method for producing the processed food, and a processed food in a container.

A method of filling and sealing a heat-resistant container such as a pouch with food or seasoning and retort sterilizing with a retort device is widely used. The retort sterilization method is a method of sterilizing by heating under pressure at a high temperature exceeding 100 ° C. As a general retort sterilization method, containers are arranged in a retort tank, the temperature of the retort tank is raised to about 120 ° C by a heat medium such as steam and hot water, and the temperature in the center of the food inside the container is 120 ° C for 4 minutes. Alternatively, there is a method of sterilizing by pressurizing and heating to a state where heat equal to or higher than that is applied.

When subjected to the retort sterilization treatment, the food and seasonings in the container can be stored at room temperature. However, the foods and seasonings subjected to the retort sterilization treatment have a problem that a peculiar retort odor may be generated and the quality of the product is deteriorated. Various means have been researched and developed to suppress the retort odor.

For example, Patent Document 1 describes a composition for cooking livestock meat, wherein the total content of isobutyl alcohol, n-butyl alcohol, and isoamyl alcohol is less than 2 ppm, and the content of maltol is 2 ppm or more. , And a retort-packed food containing livestock meat, which comprises livestock meat cooked with the composition.

Further, for example, Patent Document 2 describes a retort curry containing 0.001 to 0.3% by weight of an extract of green pepper and 0.1 to 10% by weight of soybean protein. Have been described. Patent Document 3 describes a soybean protein-containing food having an improved flavor, which is characterized by adding polyphenols extracted from tea.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2018-121633 Patent No. 6040278 Patent No. 34326114

The composition for cooking livestock meat described in Patent Document 1 uses vacuum-concentrated soy sauce as a seasoning containing maltol. On the other hand, dark soy sauce has a problem that it cannot be used because it has a large content of isobutyl alcohol, n-butyl alcohol and isoamyl alcohol and causes a retort odor.

Further, the green pepper extract and the tea extract used in the foods described in Patent Documents 2 and 3 have a problem that they may bring about an offensive taste such as pungent taste and bitterness and coloring.

Furthermore, little is known about retort seasonings that contain soy sauce but have a reduced retort odor, not limited to the types of soy sauce such as dark soy sauce.

Therefore, the present invention has a heat-deteriorated odor such as a retort odor based on food materials (ingredients) such as soy sauce, meat, and soy protein (hereinafter, soy sauce, meat, and soy protein are collectively referred to as "soy sauce, etc."). It is a first object to be solved by the present invention to provide a reduced packaged seasoning composition, a processed food using the composition, and a method for producing the processed food. Further, the present invention makes it a second problem to be solved by the present invention to provide a packaged processed food that can be eaten by itself.

The present inventors have accumulated diligent research to solve the above-mentioned problems, combined a large number of components appropriately, and even after heat sterilization, almost no heat-deteriorated odor based on the contained foodstuffs such as soy sauce is felt. Trial and error was attempted to obtain such foods and seasonings.

As a result of many mistakes, the present inventor surprisingly, by containing a predetermined amount of phenethyl acetate together with soy sauce and other foodstuffs, the heat-deteriorated odor based on soy sauce and other foodstuffs is suppressed. Found. Even more surprisingly, as described in Tables 2B and 2C of Examples described later, not only retort sterilization but also at normal pressure at 100 ° C. or lower (for example, a temperature with a Fo value of 0.00126 or higher). Even when subjected to heat sterilization (hereinafter, also referred to as non-retort sterilization), the heat deterioration odor was suppressed. Based on such knowledge, the present inventors have made a container-packed seasoning composition containing a food material such as soy sauce and phenethyl acetate; a processed food using the composition; a method for producing the processed food; and Succeeded in creating packaged processed foods. The present invention has been completed based on such findings and successful examples.

[1. Aspects mainly containing soy sauce and phenethyl acetate]
Usually, when foods and seasonings containing soy sauce are subjected to retort sterilization, a retort odor is generated. However, with soy sauce, those containing phenethyl acetate are less likely to have a retort odor. Therefore, the composition of one aspect of the present invention can be used as a composition for suppressing the retort odor by containing phenethyl acetate together with soy sauce. Further, the composition of one aspect of the present invention is preferably subjected to anti-corruption treatment such as sterilization treatment in consideration of storage stability. The composition of one aspect of the present invention is preferably a composition that has been subjected to a sterilization treatment under the conditions usually used for sterilizing foods and seasonings, and is, for example, heat-sterilized at 100 ° C. or lower. Although it may be a composition, it is preferably a composition that has been subjected to retort sterilization. As described in Examples described later, the retort odor suppressing effect of phenethyl acetate can be exhibited even when heated at 85 ° C. for 5 minutes (Fo value 0.00126).

Soy sauce is not particularly limited as long as it is described as soy sauce, soy sauce, etc. and is usually known. For example, soy sauce is defined in the "Soy Sauce Quality Labeling Standard" indicated by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. And so on. Specific examples of soy sauce include dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, tamari soy sauce, re-prepared soy sauce, white soy sauce, dashi soy sauce, shining soy sauce, fried soy sauce, and raw soy sauce. It is preferably dark soy sauce in order to impart flavor. The form of soy sauce is not particularly limited, and may be liquid or solid such as powder and granules. Soy sauce can be used alone or in combination of two or more of the above. Since soy sauce has the original flavor of soy sauce, for example, the content of HEMF is preferably 20 ppm or more, and more preferably 30 ppm or more. The soy sauce obtained by this brewing method usually contains 20 ppm or more of HEMF. For example, the HEMF content of light soy sauce is 20 ppm or more, and the HEMF content of dark soy sauce is 30 ppm or more.

Example 1 Evaluation of suppression of retort odor by phenethyl acetate (1)
[1-1. Preparation of liquid seasoning]
1 g of 98% pure phenethyl acetate (Sigma-Aldrich) was placed in a 100 ml volumetric flask and messed up with 95% ethanol to prepare a phenethyl acetate stock solution (1 g / 100 ml). Next, the phenethyl acetate solution to be added to each test seasoning was unified to 100 μl, and the phenethyl acetate stock solution was diluted with water so that the phenethyl acetate content with respect to soy sauce became a predetermined concentration to prepare each phenethyl acetate solution. bottom.

Each test seasoning liquid was prepared by mixing soy sauce and phenethyl acetate solution in the blending amounts shown in Table 1A below. As the soy sauce, "Kikkoman specially selected whole soy sauce" (HEMF 30 ppm or more; Kikkoman Co., Ltd.) in which phenethyl acetate was not detected was used.

An aluminum pouch was filled with 100 g of the prepared test seasoning liquid. This was subjected to retort sterilization (121.1 ° C., 10 minutes (Fo value 10)).

[1-2. Sensory evaluation method]
For the test seasoning liquids 1 to 9 used for retort sterilization, let the panels (3 people A to C) who excel in sniffing the retort odor eat the soy sauce in the state of the seasoning liquid at room temperature, and eat as follows. The intensity of the retort odor that sometimes penetrates from the oral cavity to the nose (unpleasant odor such as heated odor and oxidative odor that is prominent when the soy sauce enclosed in the retort pouch is subjected to pressure heat sterilization treatment) was evaluated on a 5-point scale. At this time, as an evaluation standard, the retort odor of the test seasoning liquid 1 subjected to the retort sterilization was set to 1, and the retort odor of the test seasoning liquid 1 after heat treatment after reaching 85 ° C. was presented as 5. In conducting the sensory test, the panel (training period: 10 to 20 years) was subjected to discussion and evaluation training on the retort odor. Specifically, the characteristics of the retort odor were discussed among the panels and rubbed together so that each panelist could have a common understanding. In addition, in order to ensure the validity of the sensory test, the panel was subjected to evaluation training using several test seasonings, and the reproducibility of the evaluation by each panelist was confirmed. After doing these, the panel was used to evaluate the retort odor of each test seasoning liquid.
1: Feel very strong 2: Feel 3: Slightly feel 4: Almost no feel 5: Do not feel

[1-3. Sensory evaluation result]
The test seasonings 1 to 9 containing phenethyl acetate were subjected to sensory evaluation after retort sterilization. The results are shown in Table 2A.
