【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、パン類等の多孔性含水小麦粉食品の製造方法に関する。詳しくは、焼成後に嵩を減少させ、冷凍保存後、再加熱により嵩を復元させる冷凍圧縮多孔性含水小麦粉食品に関する技術であって、その際の風味、食感、生産性を向上させる技術に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
近年、食生活が洋風化しパン類の消費量が増加するに従って、一度焼成したパン類を常温、冷蔵あるいは冷凍状態で保存し、販売店や外食産業店で電子レンジ等を用いて加熱し、消費者に供給することが増えてきている。
この種のパンに求められる性能として、保存性や食感があり、従来より、添加剤等を配合する方法を始めとして各種方法が提案されている。
一方、パン類等の多孔性含水小麦粉食品は、比較的、重量に比べて嵩高く、流通、保存に際し、場所をとるという問題がある。このような問題は、上記の如き、近年のパン類の消費量が増加したことに伴い、コスト的にも重大なものとなってきているが、従来、かかる問題の解決を図る提案はなされていない。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明者らは、上記の課題を解決し、パン類等の多孔性含水小麦粉食品の流通、保管における経費削減を図ると共に、販売店、外食産業店、家庭において、何時でも焼き立てに近い味を有するパン類等の多孔性含水小麦粉食品を提供するべく鋭意検討を重ねた結果、パン類等の多孔性含水小麦粉食品を一旦焼成等の手段により製造した後、嵩を減少させ、保存後、再加熱により嵩が復元させる技術に着目し、加熱処理後に嵩を減少させた多孔性含水小麦粉食品であって、再加熱により嵩が復元する特徴を有する多孔性含水小麦粉食品、並びに加熱処理した多孔性含水小麦粉食品の嵩を減少させる工程を含む多孔性含水小麦粉食品の製造方法に関する発明を完成し、特許出願するに至った(特願平7−53925号)。
本発明者らは、上記発明について更に検討を進めた結果、特定の製造条件によれば、復元性、風味、生産性を更に向上させることができることを見出し、本発明を完成したものである。
【0004】
【課題を解決するための手段】
即ち本発明は、焼成乃至半焼成済みの多孔性含水小麦粉食品を、再加熱により体積が復活する程度の速度条件(具体的には5〜 20mm/s)の圧縮により該食品の嵩を減少させた後、冷凍する、再加熱により嵩が復元する特徴を有する多孔性含水小麦粉食品の製造方法である。
上記の如き本発明によれば、特定の圧縮速度により多孔性含水小麦粉食品の嵩を減少させているため、再加熱による復元性が良好であり、加えて外観が良く(割れが少なく)、更に食感も向上する。
【0005】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の多孔性含水小麦粉食品の製造方法について詳細に説明する。
先ず、本発明で言う多孔性含水小麦粉食品とは、具体的には、食パン、コッペパン、ロールパン、クロワッサン、アンパン等の菓子パン等のパン類;スポンジケーキ、パウンドケーキ、ホットケーキ等のケーキ類;中華マン等のマンジュウ類;ドーナツ、パイ、カステラ等の菓子類等が挙げられる。この場合に用いられる多孔性含水小麦粉食品は、小麦粉食品の内、比較的含水率が高く、且つ比較的内部空間容積の大きな食品である。ここで、比較的含水率が高いとは、一般的には含水率10%以上、また、比較的内部空間容積が大きいとは、一般的には空間容積10%以上のものを指す。クッキー、ビスケット等の比較的含水率が低く、且つ比較的内部空間容積の少ないものは、殆ど嵩の復元力がなく、このような圧縮技術の対象からは除かれる。
尚、本発明の多孔性含水小麦粉食品は、小麦粉を主成分とし、大麦、ライ麦、トウモロコシ粉、澱粉、卵、油脂、砂糖、乳成分、香料、乳化剤その他を含有するものであり、組成的には特に限定されるものではない。
又、上記多孔性含水小麦粉食品は、焼く、揚げる、蒸す等の加熱処理により半製品または製品となるものである。ここで、パン類を例にとれば、一般的には、一旦焼成し、製品としたものについて、後記の如き処理が施されるが、場合によっては、最初の段階では半焼成の状態にしておき、嵩の復元のための再加熱の際に同時に完全に焼成し、製品とする形でもよい。
【0006】
本発明においては、焼成乃至半焼成済みの多孔性含水小麦粉食品の嵩を、再加熱により体積が復活する程度の速度条件の圧縮により減少させることを特徴とする。
具体的な圧縮速度は、 0.1〜 100mm/s、好ましくは1〜50mm/s、特に好ましくは5〜20mm/sである。
圧縮速度が 0.1mm/sよりも遅い場合は、圧縮されている時間が長くなり、経時的にパンの弾性構造が変化し復元性の低下が見られ、更に生産効率も低下する。
又、圧縮速度が 100mm/sよりも速い場合は、急激な圧縮により、パン内部(クラム)の崩壊による復元性の低下が見られ、更にパン表面(クラスト)の割れによる外観低下がある。
本発明で言う圧縮速度は何れも平均速度を示しており、通常の場合は等速で行うが、多孔性含水小麦粉食品の種類によっては食品自体の弾性による応力を考慮しセル構造の損傷を抑える意味で変化させることが好ましい場合もある。
【0007】
本発明において、嵩の減少率は、上記多孔性含水小麦粉食品の種類、即ち内部空間容積と復元力との兼ね合いにより一律には規定できないが、一般的には加熱処理後の半製品又は製品の1に対して0.1 〜0.9 (体積比)の範囲であり、本発明の目的(流通、保管における経費削減)からすれば、減少率が大きいほど好ましく、0.5 以下が効果的である。要は、後記する再加熱により嵩が復元する程度まで、圧縮することが肝要である。
この多孔性含水小麦粉食品の嵩を減少させる工程の具体的手段としては、上記の圧縮条件が達成できる手段であれば特に限定されず、例えば機械的圧縮等が挙げられる。具体的には、プレス機による加圧圧縮や、可撓性包材中に密封しておき中を減圧することによる圧縮(真空パック方式)が挙げられる。
本発明においては、加熱処理した多孔性含水小麦粉食品の嵩を減少させる工程の前または後に該食品を包装する工程を含むことができる。この包装の工程は、常法の技術により行われるが、前記の如き真空圧縮包装によれば、圧縮と同時に包装も可能である。尚、当然のことながら、これに限らず包装は圧縮の後でも可能である。又、品質維持のために、窒素、炭酸ガス等の単一または混合ガスを充填しながら包装しても良い。又、凍結工程を含む場合には、解凍しないうちに包装するのが望ましい。
本発明では、加熱処理した多孔性含水小麦粉食品の嵩を減少させる工程の後あるいは同時に多孔性含水小麦粉食品を冷凍処理する工程を設けることが重要である。これにより、嵩を減少させた多孔性含水小麦粉食品をそのままの形態で保存することが可能であると共に保存性も優れたものとなる。
【0008】
次いで、嵩を減少させた多孔性含水小麦粉食品を、必要により保存、運搬等の流通過程におき、販売店、外食産業店または家庭にて、再加熱し、嵩を復元させる。この再加熱の手段としては、乾式手段である電子レンジやオーブンレンジによるものが好ましいが、蒸し器等を使った湿式手段でもよい。又、その他の加熱によるものでもよいが、電子レンジによることが、利便性等の点から最も好ましい。
ここで、再加熱処理による嵩の復元率は、加熱処理後の1に対して0.5 〜2.0 (体積比)程度である。
【0009】
【発明の効果】
このようにして、本発明の技術によれば、圧縮冷凍した場合も再加熱による復元性が良好であり、販売店、外食産業店、家庭において、何時でも焼き立てに近い味を有するパン類等を提供することができる。
【0010】
【実施例】
以下、実施例により本発明を更に具体的に説明する。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method for producing porous hydrated wheat flour foods such as breads. More specifically, the present invention relates to a technology relating to a frozen compressed porous hydrous wheat flour food that reduces the bulk after baking and restores the bulk after refrigerating by reheating, and relates to a technology for improving the flavor, texture and productivity at that time.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In recent years, as the eating habits have become westernized and the consumption of bread has increased, once baked bread has been stored at room temperature, refrigerated or frozen, and then heated and consumed using a microwave oven or the like at a store or restaurant industry store. Increasing supply to consumers.
As performance required for this type of bread, there are preservability and texture, and various methods have been proposed, including a method of blending additives and the like.
On the other hand, porous water-containing wheat flour foods such as breads are relatively bulky compared to their weight, and have a problem of taking up space for distribution and storage. Such problems have become serious in terms of cost as the consumption of breads in recent years has increased as described above. However, there have been proposals for solving such problems. Absent.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The inventors of the present invention have solved the above-mentioned problems, aiming to reduce costs in the distribution and storage of porous hydrous flour foods such as breads, and at a store, restaurant industry store, and home, always have a taste close to freshly baked. As a result of intensive studies to provide porous water-containing wheat flour foods such as breads, the porous water-containing wheat flour foods such as breads are once manufactured by means such as baking, then reduced in volume, stored again, Paying attention to the technology for restoring the bulk by heating, the porous hydrous wheat food whose volume is reduced after the heat treatment, the porous hydrous wheat food having the feature that the bulk is restored by reheating, and the heat-treated porous An invention relating to a method for producing a porous water-containing wheat flour food comprising a step of reducing the volume of the water-containing wheat flour food has been completed, and a patent application has been filed (Japanese Patent Application No. 7-53925).
As a result of further investigations on the above-mentioned invention, the present inventors have found that the restoration property, flavor, and productivity can be further improved according to specific production conditions, and have completed the present invention.
[0004]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
That is, the present invention reduces the bulk of a baked or semi-baked porous water-containing wheat flour food by compressing it under a speed condition (specifically 5 to 20 mm / s) that restores the volume by reheating. It is a manufacturing method of the porous water-containing wheat flour food which has the characteristic that the volume is restored by reheating after freezing.
According to the present invention as described above, since the bulk of the porous water-containing wheat flour food is reduced by a specific compression rate, the resilience by reheating is good, and in addition, the appearance is good (there is less cracking), and further The texture is also improved.
[0005]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, the manufacturing method of the porous water-containing flour food of the present invention will be described in detail.
First, the porous water-containing wheat flour food referred to in the present invention specifically includes breads such as bread, cupe bread, roll bread, croissant and ampan bread; cakes such as sponge cake, pound cake and hot cake; Manju such as man; confectionery such as donut, pie, and castella. The porous hydrous flour food used in this case is a food having a relatively high moisture content and a relatively large internal space volume among the flour foods. Here, a relatively high water content generally means a water content of 10% or more, and a relatively large internal space volume generally means a material having a space volume of 10% or more. Those having a relatively low moisture content and a relatively small internal space volume such as cookies and biscuits have almost no bulk restoring force, and are excluded from such compression techniques.
The porous water-containing wheat flour food of the present invention contains wheat flour as a main component, and contains barley, rye, corn flour, starch, egg, fat, sugar, milk components, fragrance, emulsifier, etc. Is not particularly limited.
The porous water-containing wheat flour food product is a semi-finished product or product by heat treatment such as baking, frying or steaming. Here, taking breads as an example, in general, once baked and made into a product, the following treatment is applied. Alternatively, it may be completely fired at the same time during reheating for restoring the bulk to form a product.
[0006]
In the present invention, the volume of the baked or semi-baked porous water-containing wheat flour food is reduced by compression under a speed condition such that the volume is restored by reheating.
The specific compression speed is 0.1 to 100 mm / s, preferably 1 to 50 mm / s, particularly preferably 5 to 20 mm / s.
When the compression speed is slower than 0.1 mm / s, the time during which compression is performed becomes longer, the elastic structure of the bread changes with time, the restoration property is reduced, and the production efficiency is further reduced.
Further, when the compression speed is faster than 100 mm / s, due to rapid compression, there is a decrease in restoration property due to the collapse of the inside of the bread (crumb), and further there is a decrease in appearance due to cracking of the bread surface (crust).
The compression speed referred to in the present invention indicates an average speed, and is normally performed at a constant speed. However, depending on the type of porous hydrated wheat flour food, the stress due to the elasticity of the food itself is taken into consideration to suppress damage to the cell structure. It may be preferable to change the meaning.
[0007]
In the present invention, the reduction rate of the bulk cannot be uniformly defined by the type of the porous water-containing wheat flour food, that is, the balance between the internal space volume and the restoring force, but generally the semi-finished product or product after the heat treatment The ratio is 0.1 to 0.9 (volume ratio) with respect to 1, and from the object of the present invention (cost reduction in distribution and storage), it is preferable that the decrease rate is large, and 0.5 or less is effective. In short, it is important to compress to the extent that the bulk is restored by reheating described later.
Specific means of the step of reducing the volume of the porous water-containing wheat flour food is not particularly limited as long as the above compression conditions can be achieved, and examples thereof include mechanical compression. Specifically, pressure compression with a press or compression (vacuum pack method) by sealing the inside of a flexible packaging material and reducing the pressure inside the packaging material can be mentioned.
In this invention, the process of packaging this foodstuff before or after the process of reducing the volume of the heat-processed porous water-containing wheat flour foodstuff can be included. This packaging process is performed by a conventional technique. According to the vacuum compression packaging as described above, packaging can be performed simultaneously with compression. Of course, the present invention is not limited to this, and packaging is possible even after compression. In order to maintain the quality, packaging may be performed while filling a single or mixed gas such as nitrogen or carbon dioxide. When a freezing step is included, it is desirable to pack the product before thawing.
In the present invention, it is important to provide a step of freezing the porous water-containing wheat flour food after or simultaneously with the step of reducing the bulk of the heat-treated porous water-containing wheat flour food. Thereby, it is possible to preserve the porous water-containing wheat flour food having a reduced volume in the form as it is, and the preservation property is also excellent.
[0008]
Subsequently, the porous hydrous wheat flour food with reduced bulk is placed in a distribution process such as storage and transportation as necessary, and reheated at a store, a restaurant industry store or at home to restore the bulk. The reheating means is preferably a dry means such as a microwave oven or a microwave oven, but may also be a wet means using a steamer or the like. Further, other heating may be used, but using a microwave oven is most preferable from the viewpoint of convenience and the like.
Here, the restoration rate of the bulk by the reheating treatment is about 0.5 to 2.0 (volume ratio) with respect to 1 after the heat treatment.
[0009]
【The invention's effect】
In this way, according to the technique of the present invention, even when compressed and frozen, the resilience by reheating is good, and in stores, restaurants, homes, etc. Can be provided.
[0010]
【Example】
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described more specifically with reference to examples.
Example 1
Commercial bread (butter roll; height 50 mm) was compressed at each compression speed shown in Table 1 in the height direction until the final height was 20 mm. Immediately after the compression, it was frozen in a freezer at −40 ° C. until the center temperature reached −20 ° C. The frozen product was aged in a freezer at −20 ° C. overnight and then restored by heating in a microwave oven (Nashunal NE-H2; strong range heating), and then the return in the height direction was measured to determine the restoration rate. The results are shown in Table 1.

Note) The compression state is based on sensory evaluation of the cracked state during compression.
The restored state is sensory evaluated from the overall size after the range is restored and the elongation of the compressed wrinkles.
