【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、酢カドの低減された食酢、その製造方法及び該食酢を含有する飲食品に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
食酢は、酸性液体調味料であり、日本農林規格(JAS)によれば、醸造酢と合成酢に大別されている。
【0003】
醸造酢は、(1)穀類(酒粕等の加工品を含む)もしくは果実(果汁・果実酒等の加工品を含む)を原料とした醪、又はこれらにアルコールもしくは糖類を加えたものを酢酸発酵させた液体調味料であり、酢酸を使用しないもの、(2)アルコール又はこれらに穀類を糖化させたもの、もしくは果実を加えたものを酢酸発酵させた液体調味料であり、酢酸を使用しないもの、(3)上記(1)と(2)とを混合したもの、(4)上記(1)〜(3)に糖類、酸味料(酢酸を除く)、化学調味料、食塩等(香辛料を除く)を加えたもの、に分けられている。
【0004】
また、合成酢は、(5)酢酸の希釈液に糖類、酸味料、化学調味料、食塩等を加えたもの、(6)上記(5)又は酢酸の希釈液に醸造酢を混合したもの、に分けられる。
【0005】
食酢は、基礎調味料としてだけではなく日持ち向上剤としても様々な飲食品に用いられているが、食酢特有のツンとする刺激臭や酸味(以下、酢カドという)は強すぎると飲食品の風味を損ねてしまうため、あまり好ましいものとはいえなかった。
【0006】
従来より、酢カドを和らげ、食酢にまろやかさを与えるために、醸造酢においては、1〜3カ月の熟成期間をおくことが行われている。また、酢カドを低減させた食酢又は食酢の製造方法として、例えば、▲1▼特開平7−203942号公報には、酢酸発酵により作られた食酢もしくは合成酢に、穀物または乳タンパク等の食品原料を発酵させた物質を1種もしくは2種以上混合および/または併用することを特徴とする食品用加工酢、▲2▼特開平7−51047号公報、特開平7−8259号公報には、分岐オリゴ糖含有糖類をアルコール発酵と酢酸発酵することにより得られる高脂血症改善食酢、▲3▼特開平6−22741号公報には、食酢醪に、酢酸耐性を有する酵母および酢酸菌を接種し、好気的培養条件下で酢酸発酵を行うことを特徴とする食酢の製造方法、▲4▼特開平5−137561号公報には、酢酸発酵調製時の食酢醪もしくは酢酸発酵中の発酵醪に脂肪酸エチルエステルを含有させて酢酸発酵を行うか、もしくは酢酸発酵終了後、脂肪酸エチルエステルを添加することを特徴とする食酢の製造法等が開示されている。
【0007】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかし、従来の熟成期間をおく方法では、製造に時間がかかり過ぎて生産性が低くなるという問題点があった。一方、上記▲1▼〜▲4▼に記載された食酢は、ある程度の酢カドは和らげられているものの、充分満足できるレベルのものではなかった。
【0008】
また、一般家庭や料理店などでは、酢カドを和らげるために、食酢を一端火にかけてボイルすることも行われているが、他の好ましいフレーバーもなくなってしまい、更に、この方法を工業規模で行うことは困難であった。
【0009】
従って、本発明の目的は、酢カドが低減され、まろやかな風味を有する食酢、その製造方法及び該食酢を含有する飲食品を提供することにある。
【0010】
