【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、より短時間の加熱調理により褐変し、良好な焦げ目と香ばしい焼成風味を呈するとともに、10〜18℃の温度で保存しても保存中に褐変し難いチーズ及びその製造方法に関する。
本発明のチーズは、グラタン、ドリア、ラザニア、ピザ、トースト等の加熱調理して焦げ目を付与することが好ましい調理に適している。
【0002】
【従来技術】
グラタン、ピザ等は表面にチーズがトッピングされており、加熱調理によりチーズに焦げ目と香ばしい焼成風味が生じ、美味しさや風味が向上する。しかしながら、グラタン、ピザ等にトッピングされたチーズは加熱調理により焦げ目が付きづらく、加熱調理中に食品自体は十分に温まっているにもかかわらず、チーズに焦げ目が付いていないために調理を終了できず加熱調理に時間がかかることがある。そこで、チーズや食品の表面に十分な焦げ目を付けるために、アミノ酸、還元糖、及び塩類を含有するゲル化物からなるトッピング組成物をチーズ表面に載置したり(特開平8−308531号公報)、あるいはチーズに溶融塩とアミノ酸を配合して加熱するか、又はチーズに溶融塩を配合して加熱してチーズ融解物を生成させ、このチーズ融解物に還元糖、又は還元糖とアミノ酸を混合したチーズ様食品(特開平9−215470号公報)等の技術が開発されている。
また、果糖とグリシンの存在下でリンゴ酸が褐変の促進に関与するとの報告がなされている(「食品の変色の化学」)が、これは食品に好ましい着色を付与するものではなく、ましてチーズに焦げ目を付与するような性質のものではなく、逆に忌避されるものである。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上記従来技術によれば、還元糖とアミノ酸を主として用い、アミノカルボニル反応によりチーズを褐変させているが、10〜18℃の温度で保存すると保存中に褐変が進行してしまい、チーズが褐変化するという欠点が指摘されている。
本発明は、従来技術に存在する問題に着目しなされたものであり、その目的は、より短時間の加熱調理により褐変し、良好な焦げ目と香ばしい焼成風味を呈するとともに、10〜18℃の温度で保存しても保存中に褐変し難いチーズ及びその製造方法を提供することを課題とする。
【0004】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者らは上述した課題に鑑み鋭意検討を進めた結果、チーズ表面に糖類及びカルボキシル基を有する弱酸及び/又はその塩を付着させると、チーズに本来含有されるアミノ酸と添加した糖類によるアミノカルボニル反応が、カルボキシル基を有する弱酸及び/又はその塩の作用により促進され、より短時間の加熱調理により褐変し、良好な焦げ目と香ばしい焼成風味を呈するとともに、10〜18℃の温度で保存しても保存中に褐変し難いチーズが得られることを見出し、本発明を完成させるに至った。
従って、本発明はチーズ表面に糖類及びカルボキシル基を有する弱酸及び/又はその塩が付着していることを特徴とするチーズに関する。
本発明はまた、糖類及びカルボキシル基を有する弱酸及び/又はその塩をチーズ表面に付着させることを特徴とするチーズの製造方法に関する。
本発明はまた、上記チーズをトッピングしたことを特徴とする加熱調理のための食品に関する。
なお、本発明においてチーズとは、乳等省令で定めるナチュラルチーズ、プロセスチーズのみならず、チーズを主原料とするチーズフード、チーズ様食品などのことをいう。
本発明において加熱調理とは、オーブン、電子レンジ、トースター等の加熱調理器によって加熱調理することをいう。
【0005】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の実施の形態について詳細に説明する。
本発明のチーズは、チーズ表面に糖類及びカルボキシル基を有する弱酸及び/又はその塩を付着させたものである。
本発明に用いるチーズは、ナチュラルチーズ、プロセスチーズ、チーズフードチーズ様食品等を用いることができる。その形状はシュレッド状、ダイス状、スライス状、ブロック状等の形状とすることができる。ただし、加熱調理に用いる場合は、形状はシュレッド状やダイス状であって、比較的小片に切断又は粉砕されたものが好ましい。また、チーズの大きさが小さい場合は、保存中にチーズ同士が結着することがあるため、結着防止のためにセルロース等の食物繊維をチーズに対して、0.3〜2.0重量%添加することが好ましい。
糖類としては、アミノカルボニル反応を生じる糖類であればいずれの糖類を用いることができ、乳糖、果糖、蔗糖、グルコース、ガラクトース等の単糖又は二糖、グルコサミン等のアミノ糖やウロン酸等の糖誘導体を用いることが特に好ましい。その添加量はチーズに対して、0.02〜3.0重量%であることが好ましい。添加量が0.02重量%未満では良好な焦げ目を生じず、3.0重量%を超えると甘みが強くなりすぎ風味に影響を及ぼすことがあるため好ましくない。なお、キシロース、アラビノース等の還元糖を用い、アミノ酸と反応させて食品の褐変を促進させる技術(特開平8−308531号公報、特開平9−215470号公報)が開示されているが、この技術による製品は10〜18℃の温度で保存した場合に、保存中にチーズが褐変するためこれらの還元糖を用いる場合、添加量はチーズに対して0.02〜0.3重量%とすることが好ましい。
【0006】
カルボキシル基を有する弱酸又はその塩としては、クエン酸、リンゴ酸、酢酸、フマル酸、酒石酸、コハク酸、乳酸、グルコン酸等すべての食用に供される有機酸を用いることができ、その塩としては、ナトリウム塩、カリウム塩、カルシウム塩等すべての食用に供される塩類を用いることができる。その添加量はチーズに対して、0.1〜2.0重量%であることが好ましい。カルボキシル基を有する弱酸及び/又はその塩の添加量が0.1重量%未満では良好な焦げ目が生じず、2.0重量%を超えると、酸の場合は強酸味が、塩類の場合は、塩味、苦味等が生じ、風味に影響を及ぼすことがあるため好ましくない。なお、カルボキシル基を有する弱酸のみを用いる場合、その添加量はチーズに対して0.1〜1.0重量%とすることが好ましい。
【0007】
次いで本発明の製造方法について説明する。
まず、チーズをシュレッド状、ダイス状、スライス状、ブロック状等所望の形状に、切断、細断、粉砕又は成形する。次いで、糖類及びカルボキシル基を有する弱酸及び/又はその塩を粉体混合して混合粉末とし、チーズ表面にまぶしたり、振りかけて付着させる。また、糖類及びカルボキシル基を有する弱酸及び/又はその塩の溶解液を調製し、チーズ表面に塗布又は噴霧したり、溶解液に浸漬し、その後乾燥させることにより、チーズ表面に糖類及びカルボキシル基を有する弱酸及び/又はその塩を付着させてもよい。また、チーズ同士の結着を防止するために添加するセルロースは糖類及びカルボキシル基を有する弱酸及び/又はその塩とともに粉体混合してもよく、チーズに溶解液を塗布又は噴霧したり、溶解液に浸漬させた場合は、乾燥後まぶしてもよい。また、より短時間で好ましい焦げ目と香ばしい焼成風味を生成させるために、糖類及びカルボキシル基を有する弱酸及び/又はその塩とともに、アミノ酸をチーズに対して0.1〜2.0重量%追加添加してもよい。
【0008】
本発明は、上述のような実施の形態により次のような効果を有する。
(1)チーズ表面に糖類及びカルボキシル基を有する弱酸及び/又はその塩を付着させることにより、より短時間で良好な焦げ目と香ばしい焼成風味を呈するチーズが得られる。
(2)カルボキシル基を有する弱酸及び/又はその塩を用いることにより、これらの作用で褐変が促進され、より短時間で良好な焦げ目と香ばしい焼成風味を付与することができる。
(3)糖類として乳糖、果糖、蔗糖、グルコース、ガラクトース又は糖誘導体の中から選択される一種以上を用いることにより、10〜18℃の温度で保存しても保存中に褐変が生じない。また、キシロース、アラビノース等の還元糖を用いる場合は、その添加量を少なくすることで保存中の褐変が抑制され、カルボン酸を有する弱酸及び/又はその塩を添加することにより、短時間で良好な焦げ目と香ばしい焼成風味を付与することができる。
(4)チーズ表面に糖類及びカルボキシル基を有する弱酸及び/又はその塩とともにセルロースを付着させることにより、チーズ同士の結着を防止することができ、さらに、アミノ酸を付着させることにより、より短時間の加熱で良好な焦げ目と香ばしい焼成風味を付与することができる。

【0013】
表2に示す通り、比較品1は香ばしく焼成風味は好ましかったが、焦げ目がほとんど付かなかった。また、試作品1は香ばしく焼成風味は好ましかったが、全体的に好ましい焦げ目が付かなかった。また、試作品5は全体的に焦げ目は付いたものの、香ばしい焼成風味はあまり感じられず、クエン酸三ナトリウム由来の塩味が強く感じられた。一方で、試作品2〜4は全体的に好ましい焦げ目がつき、香ばしく焼成風味も好ましかった。
このことから、クエン酸三ナトリウムをチーズに対して、0.1〜2.0重量%付着させることにより、全体的に好まし焦げ目を付与することができ、焼成風味の良好なチーズが得られることがわかった。
さらに、試作品1〜5を10℃で4ヶ月間保存したところ、保存中に褐変することもなく品質劣化はなかった。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a cheese that browns by cooking for a shorter time, exhibits good burnt eyes and a savory baked flavor, and does not easily brown during storage even when stored at a temperature of 10 to 18 ° C. and a method for producing the same.
The cheese of the present invention is suitable for cooking that is preferably cooked by baking such as gratin, doria, lasagna, pizza, toast, etc. to give burnt eyes.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Gratin, pizza, etc. have cheese topped on the surface, and heat cooking produces a burnt and savory flavor on the cheese, improving the taste and flavor. However, cheese topped with gratin, pizza, etc. is not easily burnt by cooking, and although the food itself is sufficiently warm during cooking, cooking can be finished because the cheese is not burnt. It may take time to cook. Therefore, in order to sufficiently burn the surface of cheese or food, a topping composition comprising a gelled product containing amino acids, reducing sugars, and salts is placed on the cheese surface (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 8-308531). Or, melt the cheese with a molten salt and an amino acid, or mix and heat the cheese with a molten salt to produce a cheese melt, and mix this cheese melt with reducing sugar or reducing sugar and amino acid. Techniques such as a cheese-like food (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-215470) have been developed.
In addition, malic acid has been reported to be involved in promoting browning in the presence of fructose and glycine ("Food Discoloration Chemistry"), but this does not impart a favorable coloration to foods, let alone cheese. It is not of a nature that imparts burnt eyes, but is repelled.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
According to the above prior art, the reducing sugar and amino acid are mainly used, and the cheese is browned by aminocarbonyl reaction. However, when stored at a temperature of 10 to 18 ° C., browning proceeds during storage, and the cheese turns brown. The fault of doing is pointed out.
The present invention has been made by paying attention to the problems existing in the prior art, and its purpose is to turn brown by shorter cooking time, exhibit good burnt eyes and fragrant baked flavor, and have a temperature of 10 to 18 ° C. It is an object to provide a cheese that is not easily browned during storage and a method for producing the same even if stored at a low temperature.
[0004]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
As a result of carrying out diligent studies in view of the above-described problems, the present inventors have found that when a weak acid having a saccharide and a carboxyl group and / or a salt thereof is attached to the cheese surface, the amino acid originally contained in the cheese and the amino due to the added saccharide The carbonyl reaction is promoted by the action of a weak acid having a carboxyl group and / or a salt thereof, browns by cooking for a shorter time, exhibits good burnt eyes and a savory baked flavor, and is stored at a temperature of 10 to 18 ° C. However, the inventors found that a cheese that does not easily brown during storage can be obtained and completed the present invention.
Therefore, this invention relates to the cheese characterized by the weak acid and / or its salt which have saccharides and a carboxyl group adhering to the cheese surface.
The present invention also relates to a method for producing cheese, characterized in that a weak acid having a saccharide and a carboxyl group and / or a salt thereof is attached to the cheese surface.
The present invention also relates to a food for cooking by heating, characterized by topping the cheese.
In the present invention, cheese refers to not only natural cheese and processed cheese specified by a ministerial ordinance such as milk, but also cheese food, cheese-like food, and the like using cheese as a main raw material.
In the present invention, heat cooking refers to cooking with a heating cooker such as an oven, a microwave oven, or a toaster.
[0005]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail.
The cheese of the present invention is obtained by attaching a weak acid having a saccharide and a carboxyl group and / or a salt thereof to the cheese surface.
Natural cheese, process cheese, cheese food cheese-like food, etc. can be used for the cheese used for this invention. The shape may be a shred shape, a die shape, a slice shape, a block shape, or the like. However, when used for cooking, the shape is shred or dice and is preferably cut or crushed into relatively small pieces. In addition, when the size of the cheese is small, the cheeses may be bound together during storage, so that the dietary fiber such as cellulose is 0.3 to 2.0 weight with respect to the cheese to prevent the binding. % Addition is preferable.
As the saccharide, any saccharide can be used as long as it causes an aminocarbonyl reaction. Monosaccharides such as lactose, fructose, sucrose, glucose and galactose, disaccharides, amino sugars such as glucosamine, and sugars such as uronic acid It is particularly preferred to use a derivative. It is preferable that the addition amount is 0.02-3.0 weight% with respect to cheese. If the amount added is less than 0.02% by weight, good burns will not occur, and if it exceeds 3.0% by weight, the sweetness will become too strong and the flavor may be adversely affected. In addition, techniques for promoting browning of foods by using reducing sugars such as xylose and arabinose to react with amino acids (JP-A-8-308531 and JP-A-9-215470) have been disclosed. When the product according to is stored at a temperature of 10 to 18 ° C., the cheese browns during storage, so when using these reducing sugars, the addition amount should be 0.02 to 0.3% by weight with respect to the cheese. Is preferred.
[0006]
As a weak acid having a carboxyl group or a salt thereof, any edible organic acid such as citric acid, malic acid, acetic acid, fumaric acid, tartaric acid, succinic acid, lactic acid, gluconic acid, and the like can be used. Can use all edible salts such as sodium salt, potassium salt, calcium salt and the like. The addition amount is preferably 0.1 to 2.0% by weight with respect to cheese. When the addition amount of the weak acid having a carboxyl group and / or a salt thereof is less than 0.1% by weight, good burns are not generated, and when it exceeds 2.0% by weight, a strong acidity is obtained in the case of acids, and in the case of salts. Since salty taste, bitterness, etc. arise and it may affect flavor, it is not preferable. In addition, when using only the weak acid which has a carboxyl group, it is preferable that the addition amount shall be 0.1-1.0 weight% with respect to cheese.
[0007]
Next, the production method of the present invention will be described.
First, the cheese is cut, chopped, pulverized, or molded into a desired shape such as a shred, die, slice, or block. Subsequently, the weak acid which has saccharides and a carboxyl group, and / or its salt is powder-mixed, it is set as a mixed powder, and it is sprinkled on the cheese surface, or is made to sprinkle and adhere. In addition, by preparing a solution of a weak acid having a saccharide and a carboxyl group and / or a salt thereof and applying or spraying it on the cheese surface, immersing it in the solution, and then drying it, the saccharide and the carboxyl group are added to the cheese surface. A weak acid and / or a salt thereof may be attached. In addition, cellulose added to prevent binding between cheeses may be mixed with a weak acid having a saccharide and a carboxyl group and / or a salt thereof, and a solution may be applied to or sprayed on cheese. In the case of soaking in, it may be applied after drying. In addition, in order to produce a preferable burnt and a savory baked flavor in a shorter time, an amino acid is additionally added to the cheese in an amount of 0.1 to 2.0% by weight together with a weak acid having a saccharide and a carboxyl group and / or its salt. May be.
[0008]
The present invention has the following effects according to the embodiment described above.
(1) By making weak acid and / or its salt which have saccharide | sugar and a carboxyl group adhere to the cheese surface, the cheese which shows favorable burnt eyes and a fragrant baking flavor in a shorter time is obtained.
(2) By using the weak acid which has a carboxyl group, and / or its salt, browning is accelerated | stimulated by these effect | actions, and it can provide favorable burnt eyes and fragrant baking flavor in a shorter time.
(3) By using at least one selected from lactose, fructose, sucrose, glucose, galactose or sugar derivatives as sugars, browning does not occur during storage even when stored at a temperature of 10 to 18 ° C. In addition, when reducing sugars such as xylose and arabinose are used, browning during storage is suppressed by reducing the amount added, and good by adding a weak acid having a carboxylic acid and / or a salt thereof in a short time. A burnt eye and a savory flavor can be imparted.
(4) By attaching cellulose together with a weak acid having a saccharide and a carboxyl group and / or a salt thereof on the cheese surface, it is possible to prevent binding between cheeses, and further, by attaching an amino acid, the time is shorter. Good burnt and savory flavor can be imparted by heating.
[0009]
【Example】
Example 1
10 kg of cheddar cheese (manufactured by New Zealand Daily Products, aged for 10 months) was cut into a shred shape (5 × 20 × 2 mm). Next, 50 g of lactose, 100 g of cellulose for preventing binding, and trisodium citrate as a weak acid salt having a carboxyl group were mixed in the blending amounts shown in Table 1 to obtain a mixed powder. This powder was applied to shred cheese and adhered to the cheese surface to prepare prototypes 1-5. A comparative product 1 was prepared by adding no trisodium citrate.

[0013]
As shown in Table 2, Comparative Product 1 was fragrant and had a baked flavor, but it was hardly burnt. Prototype 1 had a savory flavor and a preferred baking flavor, but did not have a favorable burnt overall. In addition, although the prototype 5 was scorched as a whole, the savory flavor was not felt so much, and the salty taste derived from trisodium citrate was strongly felt. On the other hand, the prototypes 2 to 4 were generally scorched, and had a fragrant and baked flavor.
From this fact, it is possible to impart scorch on the whole by attaching 0.1 to 2.0% by weight of trisodium citrate to the cheese, and a cheese with good baking flavor is obtained. I understood it.
Furthermore, when the prototypes 1 to 5 were stored at 10 ° C. for 4 months, there was no deterioration in quality without browning during storage.
[0014]
Example 2

[0024]
As shown in Table 7, the prototypes 12 to 14 were generally scorched. In addition, the prototypes 12 and 13 were fragrant and had good baking flavor, but the prototype 14 was not preferable because the acidity derived from citric acid was felt strongly. From this, citric acid can be attached to the cheese in an amount of 0.1 to 1.0% by weight, so that it can be imparted to the whole as well, and a cheese having a good baking flavor can be obtained. all right.
Furthermore, when the prototypes 12 to 14 were stored at 10 ° C. for 3 months, the prototypes 12 to 14 did not brown during storage, but the prototype 14 was whitened with cheese and hardened.
