Description

本発明は、水中油型乳化調味料及びその製造方法に関する。詳細には、保存期間中等に生じる酸化臭がマスキングされ得る水中油型乳化調味料及びその製造方法に関する。また、本発明は、水中油型乳化調味料の酸化臭マスキング方法、及び水中油型乳化調味料の酸化臭マスキング剤に関する。 TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to an oil-in-water emulsified seasoning and a method for producing the same. More particularly, it relates to an oil-in-water emulsified seasoning capable of masking an oxidized odor that occurs during storage and a method for producing the same. The present invention also relates to a method for masking an oxidative odor of an oil-in-water emulsified seasoning and an oxidative odor masking agent for an oil-in-water emulsified seasoning.

ドレッシング、マヨネーズ等の水中油型乳化調味料は、保存期間中に、含有する油脂が酸化し、酸化臭が生じる場合がある。海外諸国においては、酸化防止剤としてエチレンジアミン四酢酸カルシウム二ナトリウムが使用されているが、我が国の食品添加物の使用基準では缶詰又は瓶詰食品以外の食品への使用は認められていない。また、日本農林規格(JAS規格)に適合するマヨネーズの場合、使用可能な原料が制限され、酸化防止剤等を使用することはできない。そのため、水中油型乳化調味料について、酸化臭による品質低下を防いで、品質を維持することは容易な課題ではなかった。 In oil-in-water emulsified seasonings such as dressings and mayonnaise, oils and fats contained therein may oxidize during storage, giving rise to an oxidized odor. Calcium disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate is used as an antioxidant in overseas countries, but its use in foods other than canned or bottled foods is not permitted under the standards for use of food additives in Japan. In addition, in the case of mayonnaise conforming to Japanese Agricultural Standards (JAS Standards), usable raw materials are limited, and antioxidants and the like cannot be used. Therefore, it has not been an easy task to prevent quality deterioration due to oxidative odors and maintain the quality of oil-in-water emulsified seasonings.

一方、酢酸含有飲食品の酢酸臭及び/又は刺激臭を抑制するために酢酸イソアミル等を用いること(特許文献1)、果汁含有製品の熱劣化臭をマスキングするためにラウリン酸等を用いること(特許文献2)等が従来、提案されている。しかし、ラウリン酸又はその塩、並びに酢酸イソアミルを組み合わせることは、特許文献1及び2のいずれにも記載されていない。 On the other hand, isoamyl acetate or the like is used to suppress the acetic acid odor and/or irritating odor of acetic acid-containing foods and drinks (Patent Document 1), and lauric acid or the like is used to mask the heat deterioration odor of fruit juice-containing products ( Patent Document 2) and the like have conventionally been proposed. However, neither of Patent Documents 1 and 2 describes combining lauric acid or a salt thereof and isoamyl acetate.

本発明は、上述の事情に鑑みてなされたものであり、その解決しようとする課題は、官能品質(風味、香り等)が損なわれることなく、保存期間中等に生じる酸化臭がマスキングされ得る水中油型乳化調味料及びその製造方法を提供することにある。 The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to solve the problem that the sensory quality (flavor, aroma, etc.) is not impaired, and the oxidative odor that occurs during the storage period can be masked. An object of the present invention is to provide an oil-type emulsified seasoning and a method for producing the same.

本発明者らは、上述の課題を解決するべく鋭意検討し、ラウリン酸又はその塩が、水中油型乳化調味料の酸化臭のマスキングに有効であることを新たに見出した。しかし、ラウリン酸又はその塩を単独で水中油型乳化調味料に添加して、その酸化臭を十分にマスキングするには、相当量の添加が必要となり、水中油型乳化調味料の酸化臭を単独で充分にマスキングし得る量のラウリン酸又はその塩を添加すると、ラウリン酸又はその塩に由来の異風味(後に残る臭み)が生じ、水中油型乳化調味料の官能品質に影響を及ぼすことが判明した。更に、本発明者らは、酢酸イソアミルが、水中油型乳化調味料の酸化臭のマスキングに有効であることも新たに見出したが、ラウリン酸又はその塩と同様に、水中油型乳化調味料の酸化臭を十分にマスキングするには相当量の添加が必要となり、水中油型乳化調味料の酸化臭を単独で十分にマスキングし得る量の酢酸イソアミルを添加すると、酢酸イソアミル由来の異風味(バナナ臭)が生じ、水中油型乳化調味料の官能品質に影響を及ぼすことが分かった。
本発明者らは、更に検討を重ね、ラウリン酸又はその塩、並びに、酢酸イソアミルを所定量で組み合わせることで、水中油型乳化調味料の官能品質を異風味により損なうことなく、保存期間中等に生じる酸化臭を効果的にマスキングし得ることを見出した。本発明者らは、これらの知見に基づき、更に検討を重ねることによって、本発明を完成するに至った。
すなわち、本発明は以下の通りである。
The present inventors have made extensive studies to solve the above-described problems, and newly found that lauric acid or a salt thereof is effective in masking the oxidized odor of oil-in-water emulsified seasonings. However, in order to sufficiently mask the oxidized odor by adding lauric acid or a salt thereof alone to the oil-in-water emulsified seasoning, it is necessary to add a considerable amount of the oxidized odor of the oil-in-water emulsified seasoning. Addition of an amount of lauric acid or a salt thereof that can be sufficiently masked by itself produces an off-flavour (smell that remains afterward) derived from lauric acid or a salt thereof, which affects the sensory quality of the oil-in-water emulsified seasoning. There was found. Furthermore, the present inventors have newly found that isoamyl acetate is effective in masking the oxidized odor of oil-in-water emulsified seasonings. A considerable amount of addition is required to sufficiently mask the oxidized odor of the oil-in-water emulsified seasoning. Banana smell) was generated, and it was found to affect the sensory quality of the oil-in-water emulsified seasoning.
The present inventors have further studied, and by combining a predetermined amount of lauric acid or a salt thereof and isoamyl acetate, the sensory quality of the oil-in-water emulsified seasoning is not impaired by off-flavours, and during the storage period etc. It has been found that the resulting oxidative odor can be effectively masked. Based on these findings, the present inventors have completed the present invention by conducting further studies.
That is, the present invention is as follows.

[Different Flavor Confirmation Test]
On the day of preparation of the oil-in-water emulsified seasonings of Test Groups 1 to 9, sensory evaluation was carried out for the presence and degree of off-flavours (banana odor, lingering odor).
In the sensory evaluation, four expert panels ate each oil-in-water emulsified seasoning and rated the presence and degree of off-flavours (banana odor, residual odor) based on the following criteria in increments of 0.5 points. and calculated the average score of the scores of the four persons. When the average score was less than 3 points, it was accepted, and when it was 3 points or more, it was rejected. A four-person expert panel asked how much the off-flavour (banana odor, remaining odor) should change in order to change the score by 0.5 points for the evaluation criteria of the off-flavour (banana odor, lingering odor). The panel was trained in advance so that whether or not it was common among the panels.
