Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、香味の好ましい窒素高含有調味料及びその製造方法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来より、窒素高含有調味料としては、植物性又は動物性のタンパク質原料を酸で加水分解し、炭酸ソーダ又はカセイソーダ等のアルカリで中和した後、ろ過して調製されるが、酸分解に伴う不快臭が残る。この不快臭を除去するため、活性炭処理及び/又はイオン交換樹脂等による脱臭処理を施しており、得られた窒素高含有調味料は、味の構成成分であるアミノ酸、ペプチド、及び食塩は豊富に含むものの、脱臭処理に伴い香味成分も一部失われるため、香味に乏しい液質となる。
【0003】
酒類粕を原料として調味料を製造する例としては、酒類粕を糖化、又は糖化及び発酵させた後、固液分離して得られた残渣を、必要に応じてアルコール除去後、酸分解し、次いでpH調整する窒素高含有調味料の製造方法(特開平4−94668号公報)が開示されている。しかし、該方法においても、原料由来の酸分解に伴う不快臭が残るという問題点がある。香味成分を豊富に含有し、かつアミノ酸、ペプチドを高含有する調味料に対する要望が強いにもかかわらず、この要望を満足する調味料はいまだ得られていない。
【0004】
本発明で原料として使用する酒類粕は、酒類用原料に、麹及び/又は酵母を作用させ糖化や発酵を行った後、固液分離して得られた固形物である。これら酒類粕中には、酒類用原料や麹に由来する成分、若しくは酵素及び/又は酵母が生成した代謝物等も含まれており、それ自身が独特の香味を有し、例えば、清酒粕やみりん粕等は調理、漬物等の製造に使用されている。
【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明の目的は、酒類粕の酸分解に伴う不快臭を除去すると共に、香味を強化し、味なれ感のよい窒素高含有調味料及びその製造方法を提供することにある。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明を概説すれば、本発明の第1の発明は、酒類粕を酸分解し、次いでpH調整した後、酵母処理して得られる調味料であって、全窒素当りの特異的な不快臭成分値が32.86以下である窒素高含有調味料に関し、第2の発明は、酒類粕を酸分解し、次いでpH調整をした後、酵母処理する上記第1の発明の窒素高含有調味料の製造方法に関する。
【0007】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明を具体的に説明する。
〔酒類粕原料〕
本発明における原料の酒類粕は、特に限定はないが、例えば、清酒粕、みりん粕、焼酎粕、ウイスキー粕及びビール粕等が挙げられる。酒類粕の中でも、タンパク質含量の高い酒類粕は、窒素高含有調味料の製造原料に適している。酒類製造において焙炒を行う方法、例えば、特開平2−79965号公報が開示されているが、焙炒処理によりタンパク質が加熱変性して不溶化するので、当該方法で得られる酒類粕は、タンパク質含量が高いことから本発明の原料として好適に使用できる。
【0008】
〔酸分解〕
酒類粕の酸分解に用いる酸としては、特に限定はなく、鉱酸として、塩酸、硫酸、硝酸等が、有機酸として、クエン酸、シュウ酸、酢酸等が挙げられるが、塩酸は安価な上、分解力も強く、好ましい。
酸分解の条件は醸造に由来する成分を有効に調味料に加工すること、すなわち、タンパク質をアミノ酸化し、糖質を低分子化する上で、分解温度及び時間の設定が重要であり、用いる酒類粕の種類や濃度、酸の種類や濃度に応じて適宜選定すればよい。
例えば、清酒粕を塩酸で分解する場合には、用いる塩酸の濃度に限定はなく、酸分解の効率上、高濃度の方が好ましい。清酒粕と塩酸溶液を混合した直後の混合物の全重量は、清酒粕中の固形物重量、清酒粕中の揮発分重量、塩酸溶液中の塩化水素重量、及び塩酸溶液中の水重量の総和である。清酒粕の使用量は、該混合物の全重量に対する清酒粕の固形物重量の割合が、酸分解の効率上、5〜45w/w%の範囲であればよく、更に好ましくは10〜40w/w%である。また、塩酸溶液の使用量は、酸分解効率及び作業の安全性より、該混合物の全重量に対する塩化水素重量の割合が、2〜20w/w%の範囲であればよく、更に好ましくは5〜15w/w%である。
酸分解を行う際の温度条件は分解効率上、60〜150℃、好ましくは80〜110℃であり、分解時間は分解効率及びエネルギーコスト上、3〜96時間、好ましくは24〜72時間である。
酒類粕を酸分解することにより、酒類粕に含有されるタンパク質や糖質が調味成分として有用なアミノ酸やペプチド、単糖類や少糖類に加水分解されると共に、調味料にとって好ましくない特異的な不快臭が生成する。
【0009】
本発明でいう特異的や不快臭とは、青臭、木香様臭、老香と称されるアセトアルデヒド、刺激臭と称されるイソブチルアルデヒド、合成接着剤様臭と称される酢酸エチル、醤油様臭と称されるイソバレルアルデヒド及びその他の未知成分等の混合香から形成されているものと考えられる。
【0010】
〔pH調整〕
加水分解を終了後、分解液をアルカリによりpH調整する。pH調整に用いるアルカリとしては、特に限定はなく、炭酸ソーダ、カセイソーダ、炭酸カリウム、水酸化カリウム、炭酸カルシウム、水酸化カルシウム等が挙げられるが、食品に使用できるものであればよい。調整するpHの値は、香味の点からpH3〜8、好ましくはpH5〜6である。pH調整後の分解液は、酸分解で生じた特異的な不快臭を除去し、かつ、醸造香味を付与する目的で、ろ過をした後又はろ過をしないで酵母処理に供する。
【0011】
〔酵母処理〕
pH調整後の分解液を酵母処理する方法としては、特に限定はないが、バッチ法、連続法等のいずれも採用することができる。バッチ法の場合、分解液へ酵母を添加してもよいし、pH調整後の分解液で酵母を希釈してもよい。
使用する酵母は、特に限定はないが、酒類、食品に用いられる酵母でよく、例えば清酒酵母、焼酎酵母、ワイン酵母、ビール酵母、ウイスキー酵母、醤油酵母、パン酵母、味噌用酵母等が挙げられる。分解液へ酵母を添加後、又は分解液で酵母を希釈後の酵母濃度は、酵母の生育を妨げない104 〜109 個/ml、好ましくは106 〜108 個/mlである。
酵母処理を行う温度条件は、酵母の生育が可能な5〜40℃、好ましくは15〜35℃であり、処理時間は、酵母の死滅の少ない10分〜10日間、好ましくは30分〜5日間である。
【0012】
上記の酵母処理をした後、酵母の除去の有無にかかわらず、通常の殺菌工程をとることができる。
【0013】
本発明により得られる窒素高含有調味料は、酸分解により生じる特異的な不快臭がなく、調味料として好ましい醸造香味に富んでおり、そのまま調味料として使用することも可能である。また、風味調味料、うまみ調味料の原材料としても使用可能であり、更に、大豆タンパク、小麦グルテン等のタンパク質加水分解調味液の代用としても使用可能である。
【0014】

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a seasoning with high nitrogen content and a method for producing the same.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, a high nitrogen content seasoning is prepared by hydrolyzing a vegetable or animal protein raw material with an acid and neutralizing with an alkali such as sodium carbonate or caustic soda, followed by filtration. The accompanying unpleasant odor remains. In order to remove this unpleasant odor, activated carbon treatment and / or deodorizing treatment with ion exchange resin or the like is performed, and the obtained high nitrogen content seasoning is rich in amino acids, peptides, and salt which are constituents of taste Although it is included, part of the flavor component is lost along with the deodorization treatment, resulting in a liquid with poor flavor.
[0003]
As an example of producing a seasoning using liquor lees as a raw material, after saccharification or saccharification and fermentation of liquor lees, the residue obtained by solid-liquid separation is subjected to acid decomposition after removing the alcohol as necessary, Next, a method for producing a seasoning with high nitrogen content (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 4-94668) is disclosed. However, even in this method, there is a problem that an unpleasant odor accompanying acid decomposition derived from the raw material remains. Although there is a strong demand for seasonings that are rich in flavor components and high in amino acids and peptides, no seasonings that satisfy these requirements have yet been obtained.
[0004]
The liquor cake used as a raw material in the present invention is a solid product obtained by subjecting a raw material for liquor to saccharification and fermentation by allowing yeast and / or yeast to act, and then solid-liquid separation. These alcoholic beverages contain ingredients for alcoholic beverages, components derived from alcoholic beverages, or metabolites produced by enzymes and / or yeasts, and have their own unique flavors. Mirin-don is used for cooking and manufacturing pickles.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
An object of the present invention is to provide a high nitrogen-containing seasoning that removes the unpleasant odor associated with the acid decomposition of alcoholic beverages, enhances the flavor and has a good taste, and a method for producing the same.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
Briefly describing the present invention, the first invention of the present invention is a seasoning obtained by acid-decomposing liquor koji and then adjusting the pH and then treating with yeast, and has a specific unpleasant odor per total nitrogen.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present invention will be specifically described below.
[Liquor bottle ingredients]
The liquor lees as a raw material in the present invention are not particularly limited, and examples thereof include sake lees, mirin lees, shochu, whiskey lees, and beer lees. Among alcoholic beverages, alcoholic beverages with a high protein content are suitable as raw materials for producing seasonings with high nitrogen content. A method of roasting in liquor production, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-79965 has been disclosed. However, since the protein is heat-denatured and insolubilized by roasting, the liquor cake obtained by the method has a protein content. Therefore, it can be suitably used as a raw material of the present invention.
[0008]
[Acid degradation]
There are no particular limitations on the acid used for the acid decomposition of alcoholic beverages, and examples of mineral acids include hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, and nitric acid, and examples of organic acids include citric acid, oxalic acid, and acetic acid. The decomposition power is also strong and preferable.
The conditions for acid decomposition are to effectively process ingredients derived from brewing into seasonings, that is, to convert proteins into amino acids and to reduce carbohydrates, it is important to set the decomposition temperature and time. What is necessary is just to select suitably according to the kind and density | concentration of soot, and the kind and density | concentration of an acid.
For example, when cracking sake lees with hydrochloric acid, the concentration of hydrochloric acid to be used is not limited, and a higher concentration is preferable in terms of acid decomposition efficiency. The total weight of the mixture immediately after mixing the sake lees and the hydrochloric acid solution is the sum of the weight of the solids in the sake lees, the volatile matter weight in the sake lees, the hydrogen chloride weight in the hydrochloric acid solution, and the water weight in the hydrochloric acid solution. is there. The use amount of the sake lees is such that the ratio of the solid weight of the sake lees relative to the total weight of the mixture is within the range of 5 to 45 w / w%, more preferably 10 to 40 w / w, in terms of acid decomposition efficiency. %. In addition, the amount of hydrochloric acid solution used may be such that the ratio of the weight of hydrogen chloride to the total weight of the mixture is in the range of 2 to 20 w / w%, more preferably 5 to 5%, based on the acid decomposition efficiency and work safety. 15 w / w%.
The temperature conditions for the acid decomposition are 60 to 150 ° C., preferably 80 to 110 ° C. in terms of decomposition efficiency, and the decomposition time is 3 to 96 hours, preferably 24 to 72 hours, in terms of decomposition efficiency and energy cost. .
By acid-degrading liquor lees, proteins and sugars contained in liquor lees are hydrolyzed into amino acids, peptides, monosaccharides and oligosaccharides that are useful as seasoning ingredients. An odor is generated.
[0009]
Specific and unpleasant odors referred to in the present invention include blue odor, woody odor, acetaldehyde called senka, isobutyraldehyde called irritating odor, ethyl acetate called synthetic adhesive-like odor, soy sauce-like It is thought that it is formed from a mixed fragrance such as isovaleraldehyde called odor and other unknown components.
[0010]
[PH adjustment]
After completion of hydrolysis, the pH of the decomposition solution is adjusted with alkali. The alkali used for pH adjustment is not particularly limited, and examples include sodium carbonate, caustic soda, potassium carbonate, potassium hydroxide, calcium carbonate, calcium hydroxide, and the like, as long as they can be used for food. The pH value to be adjusted is pH 3 to 8, preferably pH 5 to 6, in terms of flavor. The pH-adjusted decomposition solution is subjected to yeast treatment after filtration or without filtration for the purpose of removing a specific unpleasant odor caused by acid decomposition and imparting a brewing flavor.
[0011]
[Yeast treatment]
The method for treating the decomposition solution after pH adjustment with yeast is not particularly limited, and any of a batch method and a continuous method can be employed. In the case of the batch method, yeast may be added to the decomposition solution, or the yeast may be diluted with the decomposition solution after pH adjustment.
The yeast to be used is not particularly limited, and may be yeast used in alcoholic beverages and foods. Examples include sake yeast, shochu yeast, wine yeast, beer yeast, whiskey yeast, soy sauce yeast, baker's yeast, and miso yeast. . The yeast concentration after adding yeast to the degradation solution or diluting the yeast with the degradation solution is 10 4 to 10 9 cells / ml, preferably 10 6 to 10 8 cells / ml, which does not hinder the growth of the yeast.
The temperature conditions for carrying out the yeast treatment are 5 to 40 ° C., preferably 15 to 35 ° C., at which the yeast can grow, and the treatment time is 10 minutes to 10 days, preferably 30 minutes to 5 days, with less yeast death. It is.
[0012]
After the above yeast treatment, a normal sterilization step can be taken regardless of whether or not the yeast is removed.
[0013]
The high nitrogen content seasoning obtained by the present invention does not have a specific unpleasant odor caused by acid decomposition, is rich in brewing flavor preferable as a seasoning, and can be used as it is as a seasoning. It can also be used as a raw material for flavor seasonings and umami seasonings, and can also be used as a substitute for protein hydrolyzed seasonings such as soybean protein and wheat gluten.
