【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、糖衣した食品、更に詳しくは、滑らかな舐め心地と、かりっとした食感を有し、かつ程良い酸味が感じられる糖衣層と、クランチ性を有する中心層からなる糖衣した食品に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
一般に菓子類、錠剤等に利用される糖衣物は、以下のように製造される。即ち、まず被糖衣物(以下、中心層と呼ぶ。)に、砂糖を主成分とし、他の糖類、澱粉等の結合剤を含む水溶液を、スプレー等で中心層表面の全域に行き渡らせ、この後、炭酸カルシウム等の微粉末混合物を散布して中心層相互の結着をふせぎ、次に温風を送って糖衣層を乾燥させる工程を複数回繰り返す。場合により、この後、色素を含む水溶液をスプレーし温風での乾燥を行う工程を繰り返して糖衣層を着色し、更に場合によりワックス等で艶を出すこともある(例えば、特許文献1参照。)。更に、中心層が比較的大きな物やいびつなものに対しては、下掛け、中掛け、上掛けの3段階の糖衣工程を経て作られるのが一般的である(例えば、特許文献2参照。)。また、通常、前記糖衣工程に用いられる砂糖を主体とする水溶液は、20〜40℃の温度に保たれるのが一般的である。
【0003】
また、近年、低カロリー、抗う蝕性をうたった、砂糖ではなく種々な糖アルコールを糖衣層に用いた、いわゆるノンシュガー糖衣が盛んに用いられている。ところが、砂糖の楽しみは依然として非常に人気がある(例えば、特許文献3参照。)。砂糖を使用する時の問題は甘ったるさの点である。酸味料を加えれば解決できるが、酸味料を加えた砂糖を主体とする糖衣液として用いると、砂糖の分解が起こり、せっかくの砂糖のおいしさがでなくなってしまうことは前記特許文献2に記載されている通りである。
【0004】
更に、一般的な糖衣は、中心層の被覆目的で使用される技術であり、中心層に対して重量で2倍程度までの糖衣層が多い。例外として、チャイナマーブルのように、中心層の重量に対して糖衣層が数十倍という構造を有するものがある。通常、このチャイナマーブルの場合、砂糖溶液を中心層に均一に散布し、乾燥を繰り返し、この作業時間が数十日に及ぶのが一般的であり、糖衣層の砂糖結晶が不均一で、粒径が30μmを越える結晶も存在し、かつ密な構造を形成することから、固い食感を有する。
【0005】
また、ビタミンCを糖衣層に用いる試みも提案されている(例えば、特許文献4、5参照。)。しかし、これらはビタミンCの保存性を高めることを目的とし、主に中心層にビタミンCを含有させた糖衣物の提案であり、錠菓や丸薬等の糖衣層自体にビタミンC層を含ませるものではない。更に、この場合の糖衣層も一般的な糖衣技術により形成されるものであり、糖衣層の結晶は大きく、密な構造を形成することから固い食感を有する。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明は、錠菓や丸薬を糖衣した食品において、砂糖のおいしさを損なわず、滑らかな舐め心地と、かりっとした食感を有し、かつ程良い酸味を感じられる糖衣層と、クランチ性を有する中心層からなる糖衣した食品を提供することを目的とするものである。
【0008】
【課題を解決するための手段】
前記目的を達成するため、本発明者らは鋭意研究を重ねた結果、酸味料であるビタミンCの層と砂糖の層を交互に重なり合う状態で多層にし、かつ砂糖層の結晶の平均粒径を5〜15μmの範囲にコントロールすることで、滑らかな舐め心地と、かりっとした食感を有し、かつ程良い酸味を感じられる糖衣層と、クランチ性を有する中心層からなる糖衣食品になることを見出し、本発明を完成するに至った。即ち、本発明者らは、ビタミンC層と砂糖の層を多層化することで砂糖の分解が極小まで抑えられることを見出し、更に、ビタミンC層を多層にするだけでは砂糖の美味しさとビタミンCの程よい酸味の発現は不可能であり、砂糖の結晶の平均粒径が5〜15μmの時に始めて上記の目的が達せられることを見出した。
【0009】
ところで、前記したように、チャイナマーブルとして知られた砂糖の糖衣菓子は、きわめて古くからある。これは乾燥を長い時間かけて行ったもので、その砂糖の結晶は不均一で極めて大きい結晶が存在する。このため、その食感は非常に固く、時には噛み砕けない固さにもなる。また、結晶の粒径が極めて小さいと、ぼろぼろの食感となり、そのような場合には、たとえビタミンCとの多層にしても、その酸味感は劣ったものとなる。
【0010】
更に、本発明者らは、前記砂糖糖衣層の周りに更にキシリトール糖衣を施した場合には、前記ビタミンCによる程よい酸味感とおいしい砂糖の味わいをより一層引き立てることができることを見出した。
【0011】
即ち、本発明に係る糖衣した食品は、中心層が錠菓又は丸薬であり、該中心層に対して重量で5倍以上の糖衣層を有し、該糖衣層が砂糖の層とビタミンCの層が交互に重なり合った状態で多層に形成され、該砂糖の層が結晶形態を有し、その結晶の平均粒径が5〜15μmの範囲内であることを特徴とするものである。
また、本発明にかかる糖衣した食品は、上記の多層糖衣の外層にキシリトール層を有することを特徴とするものである。
【0012】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明の糖衣した食品の特徴は、滑らかな舐め心地と、かりっとした食感を有し、かつ程よい酸味を感じられる糖衣層と、クランチ性を有する中心層からなることである。この新しい食感の付与を、砂糖結晶の大きさのコントロールとビタミンCとの多層化を行うことで達成した。
【0013】
本発明の糖衣した食品の中心層を構成するのは、錠菓又は丸薬である。本発明でいう前記錠菓とは、糖を主原料とし、打錠機等で圧縮成型したものであり、また、丸薬とは、ハーブや果汁等のエキスを澱粉等の糖類でかため丸く成形したものである。中心層を錠菓又は丸薬に限定したのは、糖衣層の固さとのバランスで、より柔らかい中心層にすることで、バランスの良い食感が感じられる食品とするためである。また、前記中心層となる錠菓や丸薬にビタミンCを含有させても良い。
【0014】
また、ビタミンCとしては、一般に知られているビタミンCを用いればよく、粉末果汁等のビタミンCを多量に含有するものを用いてもよい。これらは単独でも2種以上併用してもよい。更に、ビタミンCの粒度、量に特に制限はないが、325メッシュパス以下のものを使用し、糖衣物総重量に対し0.5〜3重量%程度が好ましい。
【0015】
本発明の糖衣した食品は、例えば次のようにして製造することができる。まず、砂糖の水溶液を用意しレボ−リングパンに入れておいた中心層である錠菓又は丸薬に均一に掛かるように散布する。レボ−リングパンの回転数は10〜50rpmで回転させながら行う。次に、例えば温度5〜70℃、湿度45〜65%、風速3〜8m/秒程度の送風下で乾燥させる。次いでビタミンC粉末を表面均一になるように散布する。砂糖の結晶のコントロールは、上記乾燥条件と乾燥時間による要因が大きく、乾燥をゆっくりしすぎると結晶が大きくなりすぎ、場合によっては歯が入らないぐらいに固くなる。また、乾燥が速すぎると結晶が大きくならずに、ぼそぼその食感となる。この結晶コントロールは、砂糖の水溶液の温度にも左右され、40〜90℃にする必要がある。更に好ましくは、70〜80℃の範囲である。また、ビタミンCの散布のタイミングも非常に大切で、かりっとしたポーラスな食感を形成する要因の一つである。ビタミンCを散布することで多層構造を形成し、かりっとしたクランチ性を有する食感となる。また、乾燥の温度も重要で、ごく普通に行われている20〜40℃よりも高い、例えば55℃程度の温度が本発明にとって好ましい温度条件である。上記作業を繰り返すことにより、砂糖とビタミンCの層が交互に重なり合った状態で多層に形成され、少なくとも中心層に対して5倍以上の糖衣層にしたときに、初めて、目的とする糖衣した食品を得ることができる。
【0016】
なお、本発明では、砂糖の結晶の平均粒径は、糖衣層の断面を電子顕微鏡により1000倍で観察し、任意に選択した5つの砂糖結晶の長辺と短辺の平均粒径とした。
【0017】
更に、本発明においては、キシリトールを最外層とするのがよりふさわしい態様である。キシリトールの糖衣方法としては、例えば、キシリトールを固形分として60〜90重量%含有し、キシリトールのおいしさを損なわない程度で後述する他の糖を加えても良い。更に、食感を阻害させない範囲で、後述する結合剤を併用することもできる。また、このキシリトール糖衣液に、香料、色素等を適宜加えることができる。これらからなる糖衣液を水で固形比60〜80重量%に調整し、40〜80℃に加温し、レボーリングパンに入れておいた砂糖糖衣物に均一に掛かるように散布する。レボーリングパンの回転数は5〜30rpmで回転させながら行う。次ぎに、例えば温度30〜60℃、湿度10〜50、風速3〜8m/秒程度の送風下で乾燥させ、この作業を繰り返し行うことで、キシリトール層を形成することができる。また、その他の方法として、特公平5−14535号公報、特開2000−316479号公報のようにしてそのキシリトール層を容易に形成することができる。
【0018】
本発明の糖衣用の砂糖水溶液あるいはキシリトール水溶液には、食感を阻害させない範囲で結合剤を使用することが出来る。結合剤としては、アラビアゴム、プルラン、ヒドロキシプロピルセルロース、ヒドロキシプロピルメチルセルロース、メチルセルロース、ヒドロキシエチルセルロース、結晶セルロース、粉末セルロース、デキストリン、澱粉、ポリビニルピロリドン、カルボキシビニルポリマー、ゼラチン、キサンタンガム、トラガント、マクロゴール、グリコールを挙げることが出来る。
【0019】
また、砂糖の糖衣液には、砂糖のおいしさを損なわない程度のキシリトール等の糖アルコールを加えても良い。更に、砂糖の糖衣液には、砂糖のおいしさを損なわない程度の他の糖を加えても良い。このような糖としては多様な選択範囲があり、果糖、ブドウ糖、液糖、酵素糖化水飴、酸糖化水飴、麦芽糖、オリゴ糖、高分子水飴、澱粉、還元基を持たない糖アルコール等が挙げられる。これらの内でも、酵素糖化水飴、酸糖化水飴、オリゴ糖、高分子水飴、澱粉が、砂糖の再結晶(糖化)を防ぐ点で本発明において好ましい糖である。
【0020】
また、キシリトール水溶液中のキシリトールの一部を他の糖又は糖アルコールで置きかえる態様も本発明の範囲内である。キシリトールの爽快感のある味に影響しない程度の置き換えもしくは、同様に爽快感のある糖アルコールに置き換えてもかまわない。その使用量は、キシリトールに対して70重量%以内なら許される。そのような例としては、砂糖の他に、上記に記した果糖、ブドウ糖、液糖、酵素糖化水飴、酸糖化水飴、麦芽糖、オリゴ糖、高分子水飴、澱粉、還元基を持たない糖アルコール等を挙げることが出来る。
【0021】
更に、本発明の糖衣した食品の中心層を構成する錠菓や丸薬、その表面の糖衣層には、上記以外の成分として、香料、酸、果汁、色素等を適宜加えることができる。
【0022】
本発明の糖衣した食品の中心層を構成する錠菓や丸薬の大きさ、糖衣層の厚さなどには特に制限はないが、好ましくは直径1〜10mm、厚さ1〜10mmの錠菓、もしくは直径1〜10mmの丸薬であり、目的とする味や食感などにより適宜設定することができる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a sugar-coated food, and more particularly, a sugar-coated food comprising a sugar-coated layer having a smooth licking feeling, a crisp texture, and a moderate acidity, and a central layer having crunchiness About.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Sugar coatings generally used for confectionery, tablets and the like are manufactured as follows. That is, first, an aqueous solution containing sugar as a main component and containing other binders such as sugars and starch is spread over the entire surface of the central layer by spray or the like on a sugar-coated article (hereinafter referred to as the central layer). Thereafter, a process of spraying a mixture of fine powders such as calcium carbonate to close the binding between the central layers, and then sending warm air to dry the sugar coating layer is repeated a plurality of times. In some cases, after that, the step of spraying an aqueous solution containing a pigment and drying with warm air is repeated to color the sugar-coated layer, and in some cases, gloss may be given with wax or the like (see, for example, Patent Document 1). ). Furthermore, it is common that a thing with a comparatively large center layer or an irregular thing is produced through the sugar coating process of three steps, a lower part, a middle part, and an upper part (for example, refer patent document 2). ). In general, the aqueous solution mainly composed of sugar used in the sugar coating process is generally kept at a temperature of 20 to 40 ° C.
[0003]
In recent years, so-called non-sugar sugar coatings that use various sugar alcohols instead of sugar for sugar coating layers have been actively used. However, the enjoyment of sugar is still very popular (see, for example, Patent Document 3). The problem with using sugar is sweetness. Although it can be solved by adding a sour agent, it is described in Patent Literature 2 that when sugar is added as a sugar coating liquid mainly containing a sour agent, the sugar is decomposed and the taste of sugar is not lost. It is as it is.
[0004]
Furthermore, a common sugar coating is a technique used for covering the center layer, and there are many sugar coating layers up to about twice the weight of the center layer. There is an exception, such as China Marble, where the sugar coating layer has a structure of several tens of times the weight of the central layer. Usually, in this China marble, the sugar solution is uniformly sprayed on the central layer, drying is repeated, and this work time is generally several tens of days. There are also crystals having a diameter exceeding 30 μm, and since they form a dense structure, they have a hard texture.
[0005]
Attempts have also been made to use vitamin C in the sugar coating layer (see, for example, Patent Documents 4 and 5). However, these are intended to enhance the storage stability of vitamin C, and are mainly sugar coatings containing vitamin C in the central layer, and the sugar coating layer itself such as tablet confectionery or pills includes the vitamin C layer. It is not a thing. Furthermore, the sugar-coated layer in this case is also formed by a general sugar-coating technique, and the crystals of the sugar-coated layer are large and have a tight texture because they form a dense structure.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The present invention relates to a sugar-coated layer that has a smooth licking feeling, a crisp texture, and a good acidity without sacrificing the deliciousness of sugar, An object of the present invention is to provide a sugar-coated food comprising a central layer having properties.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present inventors have conducted intensive research. As a result, the vitamin C layer and the sugar layer, which are acidulants, are layered alternately , and the average grain size of the sugar layer crystals is determined. By controlling in the range of 5 to 15 μm, it becomes a sugar-coated food consisting of a sugar-coated layer that has a smooth licking feeling, a sharp texture and a moderate acidity, and a central layer that has crunchiness As a result, the present invention has been completed. That is, the present inventors have found that the decomposition of sugar can be suppressed to a minimum by multilayering the vitamin C layer and the sugar layer, and further, the deliciousness of sugar and the vitamin C can be achieved only by making the vitamin C layer multilayer. It has been found that the above-mentioned purpose can be achieved only when the average particle size of sugar crystals is 5 to 15 μm.
[0009]
By the way, as described above, the sugar-coated confectionery known as China Marble is very old. This is a result of drying for a long time, and the sugar crystals are uneven and very large crystals exist. For this reason, the food texture is very hard and sometimes hard to break. Further, if the crystal grain size is extremely small, the texture becomes shabby. In such a case, even if it is multilayered with vitamin C, the acidity is inferior.
[0010]
Furthermore, the present inventors have found that when a sugar coat of xylitol is further provided around the sugar coating layer, a moderate sour taste and a delicious sugar taste due to the vitamin C can be further enhanced.
[0011]
In other words, the sugar-coated food according to the present invention has a sugar-coated layer or a pill, and the sugar-coated layer is a sugar layer and vitamin C. It is characterized in that the layers are formed in multiple layers in the state of alternately overlapping , the sugar layer has a crystal form, and the average particle size of the crystals is in the range of 5 to 15 μm.
The sugar-coated food according to the present invention is characterized by having a xylitol layer on the outer layer of the multilayer sugar coating.
[0012]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The feature of the sugar-coated food of the present invention is that it is composed of a sugar-coated layer having a smooth licking feeling, a sharp texture, and a moderate acidity, and a central layer having crunchiness. This new texture was achieved by controlling the size of sugar crystals and multilayering with vitamin C.
[0013]
It is a tablet confectionery or a pill that constitutes the central layer of the sugar-coated food of the present invention. The said tablet confectionery as used in the present invention is a product made by compressing with a tableting machine or the like using sugar as a main raw material, and a pill is formed by rounding an extract such as a herb or fruit juice with a sugar such as starch. It is a thing. The reason why the central layer is limited to tablet confectionery or pills is to make the food with a balanced texture by making it a softer central layer in balance with the hardness of the sugar coating layer. Moreover, you may make vitamin C contain in the tablet confectionery and pill used as the said center layer.
[0014]
Moreover, what is necessary is just to use vitamin C generally known as vitamin C, and you may use what contains vitamin C, such as powdered fruit juice, in large quantities. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more. Furthermore, although there is no restriction | limiting in particular in the particle size and quantity of vitamin C, A 325 mesh pass or less thing is used and about 0.5 to 3 weight% is preferable with respect to the total sugar coating weight.
[0015]
The sugar-coated food of the present invention can be produced, for example, as follows. First, an aqueous solution of sugar is prepared and sprayed so as to be uniformly applied to the tablet confectionery or pill which is the central layer placed in the revolving ring pan. The revolving ring pan is rotated while rotating at 10 to 50 rpm. Next, for example, drying is performed under blowing air at a temperature of 5 to 70 ° C., a humidity of 45 to 65%, and a wind speed of about 3 to 8 m / second. Next, Vitamin C powder is sprayed to make the surface uniform. The control of sugar crystals is largely due to the above drying conditions and drying time. If drying is performed too slowly, the crystals become too large, and in some cases, the teeth become hard enough to prevent teeth. On the other hand, if the drying is too fast, the crystals do not become large and the texture becomes loose. This crystal control depends on the temperature of the aqueous sugar solution and needs to be 40-90 ° C. More preferably, it is the range of 70-80 degreeC. In addition, the timing of vitamin C spraying is very important and is one of the factors that create a crisp, porous texture. By spreading vitamin C, a multilayer structure is formed, and a texture with a crunchy nature is obtained. The drying temperature is also important, and a temperature higher than 20 to 40 ° C., which is normally performed, for example, about 55 ° C. is a preferable temperature condition for the present invention. By repeating the above operations, the target sugar-coated food is only formed when the sugar and vitamin C layers are alternately layered and formed into multiple layers, and at least five times the sugar-coated layer as compared to the central layer.
