Description

【産業上の利用分野】
本発明は、保存性の優れた蛋白素材を含有する食品又は飼料の製造方法とそのための添加組成物に関する。本発明は、小麦、乳、卵、肉、大豆などに含まれる各種の蛋白質に反応し、作用するトランスグルタミナーゼとプロタミンとを併用することによって、これら蛋白素材を原料とする食品又は飼料の保存性を向上させようとするものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
プロタミンはサケあるはニシンの雄魚の精巣、いわゆるしらこ中で成熟した精子のDNAと結合している強塩基性の単純蛋白質である。プロタミンは、しらこ蛋白という名称で食品添加物の保存料に指定され、プロタミン単独で抗菌作用を示すが、その抗菌性を有効に発現するには、既存の各種抗菌性物質と併用する(特開昭62‐201563、特開昭63‐17679)ことが行なわれ、麺類、水産練り製品、卵加工品など多くの食品にそれぞれに適した形態で使用されている。
【0003】
一方、トランスグルタミナーゼ(transglutaminase,γ−glutamyl transferase)は,ペプチド鎖内にあるグルタミン残基のγ−カルボキシアド基のアシル基転移反応を触媒する酵素であり、このトランスグルタミナーゼはアシル受容体としてタンパク質中のリジン残基のε−アミノ基が作用すると、分子内にε−(γ−Glu)−Lys架橋結合が形成される。この酵素は食品に含まれる蛋白質分子の架橋重合に利用され、麺類、水産練り製品、肉類移など各種食品の物性改良や接着に応用されており、「化学的合成品以外の食品添加物」として指定されている。しかし、このトランスグルタミナーゼ自体に抗菌性はなく、添加した食品の基質によって、その食品の保存性が決まってくる。尚、このトランスグルタミナーゼは、動物由来のもの、植物由来のもの、微生物由来のものが知られている。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
これまでプロタミンを実効性のある食品保存剤として利用するために、その抗菌スペクトルを広げ、また高価であるがゆえに微量で効力を発揮させるように研究されてきた。しかし、蛋白質を多く含む食品、特に、水産・畜産製品や小麦粉を主原料とする麺類および卵加工食品に対して保存効果を発揮させるためには、高濃度のプロタミンの添加が必要であり、経済性の点からプロタミンだけでは実用性がないとされていた。そのため、蛋白素材を含む食品や飼料においてもプロタミンの抗菌性を有効に発現できる併用効果の高い物質の発見とそれを組み立て実用性のある保存剤の開発が求められていた。
【0005】
本発明者らは、食品中でプロタミンの抗菌活性を有効に発現させるために新しい物質との併用効果を検索し、食品保存剤としていままで以上に実用性の高い製剤を開発すべく鋭意研究を重ねてきた。数多くの実験の結果から、蛋白質を含む食品の系においてプロタミンとトランスグルタミナーゼとを併用すると、トランスグルタミナーゼの物性向上効果が保持され且つプロタミンの抗菌力が有効に発現されて、明らかに強い抗菌性を発揮する事実を新たに見出した。
【0006】
これは、トランスグルタミナーゼが蛋白質を構成するアミノ酸中のグルタミン残基とリジン残基の間に架橋結合を形成させ蛋白質の構造を変化させる、という特異性がプロタミンの抗菌力の発現に対して何らかの好影響を与えた為と推測する。
【0007】
本発明者は、このような新たに見出した技術的知見に基づき、蛋白素材を含有する食品の物性を向上させながら保存性を高めようとしたことを特徴とする食品又は飼料の製造方法と、そのための添加組成物を開発し、提供したのである。
【0008】
【課題を解決するための手段】
特許を受けようとする第1発明は、蛋白素材を含有する食品又は飼料類の製造工程において、プロタミンとトランスグルタミナーゼを添加・存在させることにより保存性を向上させたことを特徴とする食品又は飼料の製造方法である。
【0009】
当該第1発明は、プロタミンとトランスグルタミナーゼを併用することによりトランスグルタミナーゼの品質向上効果を損なうことなく、保存性を向上させたことを特徴とする食品又は飼料の製造方法の発明である。保存性の向上については、トランスグルタミナーゼが反応して蛋白質を架橋重合した食品の環境下では、プロタミンの抗菌性が有効に発現するとの新しい技術的知見を利用した基本発明である。また、プロタミンはトランスグルタミナーゼの架橋重合反応を阻害しないので、本発明は物性向上効果、リジン導入による栄養性改善効果といったトランスグルタミナーゼの従来知られている効果も同時に発揮することができる。
【0010】
特許を受けようとする第2発明は、小麦粉やそば粉を主原料とする麺類、ぎょうざ等の皮類の製造工程において、プロタミンとトランスグルタミナーゼを添加・存在させることにより保存性を向上させたことを特徴とする食品の製造方法である。
【0011】
小麦粉やそば粉の蛋白質の主成分であるグルテンは、グリアジンとグルテニンで構成されているが、前者は、小麦粉の粘性に富んだ物性を示し、後者は、グルテン網目構造の基本骨格となるもので、弾性に富んだ物性を示している。つまり、グルテンは加水と混煉により小麦グルテン中のL−システインの−SH基が酸化されて−S−S結合が形成され、グルテンの網目構造が粘弾性に富んだ物性となるようにしている。トランスグルタミナーゼは、これらグルテンの網目構造に作用し、分子内・分子間での共有結合(G−L結合)の形成を促して、麺類に粘りと弾力を増強する効果がある。つまり、麺類に自然なコシを再現するとともに、食感をコントロールし、保水力をアップして麺類のつなぎ性を向上するなどの品質向上効果をもたらす。このような環境下でプロタミンは、抗菌力を有効に発現するので、当該麺類の保存性が著しく向上する。
【0012】
特許を受けようとする第3発明は、水産製品又は畜肉製品の製造工程において、プロタミンとトランスグルタミナーゼを添加・存在させることにより保存性を向上させたことを特徴とする食品の製造方法である。
【0013】
蛋白素材を主成分とする食品である水産製品は、大別すると水産加工品と水産練製品になるが、前者の水産加工品では、トランスグルタミナーゼは、素材本来の風味はそのままに、巻き寿司の具やえびパテや成型数の子などの成型用接着材として、まぐろ剥身などの結着力向上材として、たらこや明太子などの粒子感増強材として又は剥きえびなどのレトルト耐性の付与材として夫々の品質改良に使用されている。また、後者の水産練り製品にあっては、トランスグルタミナーゼは、蒸し板蒲鉾などの弾力増強剤として、笹蒲鉾や揚蒲鉾のしなやかさ付与材として、竹輪などの低級すり身への置き換え材として品質改善に使用されている。使用方法としては、粉まぶし法や水溶き法で添加されている。このようないずれの使用態様においても、トランスグルタミナーゼとプロタミンとを併用添加すると、プロタミンの抗菌力が有効に発現してその水産製品の保存性を高めることが出来る。
【0014】
他方、蛋白素材を主成分とする食品である畜肉製品では、トランスグルタミナーゼは、素材本来の風味をそのままに、成型ステーキなど畜肉片をくっつける接着材として、ハム、チャーシューなどの身割れ防止材として、ハム、ソーセージなどの結着力増強材として、ソーセージなどの弾力増強材として、ハムなどの風味改善材など食品の物性改良や接着による品質改良などに広く使用されてきた。本発明は、トランスグルタミナーゼとプロタミンとを併用することによって、いずれの使用態様においても食品の物性向上効果を損なうことなく、保存性を高め商品の付加価値を大きくするものである。尚、トランスグルタミナーゼとプロタミンの併用添加組成物は、水溶き添加法、粉まぶし法、粉振込み法、ピックル液使用法、粉添加法など多様な方法で添加・存在させることが可能である。
【0015】
特許を受けようとする第4発明は、卵加工食品の製造工程において、プロタミンとトランスグルタミナーゼを添加・存在させることにより保存性を向上させたことを特徴とする食品の製造方法である。
【0016】
第4発明の対象である卵加工食品の蛋白質は、卵白蛋白質(オボアルブミン)と卵黄蛋白質とからなっており、トランスグルタミナーゼは、特に卵黄蛋白質に良く反応して、卵焼きの弾力をよくしたり、薄焼き卵を形成しやすくするなどの物性向上効果を発揮する。この際プロタミンを併用すると、プロタミンの抗菌性が有効に発現して、出来た製品の保存性が飛躍的に良くなる効果がある。
【0017】
上記のように本願発明は、いずれもトランスグルタミナーゼが物性の改良に使用できる食品、特に小麦粉を主原料とする麺類・皮類、水産及び畜産製品、卵加工食品においてプロタミンと併用することで、保存効果が高まり、保存性向上と物性改良が同時に達成できる。また本発明の食品製造方法に用いるプロタミンとトランスグルタミナーゼの量は食品の風味に影響がないことから、優れた食品の製造方法である。
【0018】
特許を受けようとする第5発明は、プロタミンとトランスグルタミナーゼを混合するか又は溶媒に溶解して成る蛋白素材を含有する食品又は飼料の保存性を向上させるための添加組成物である。
【0019】
当該第5発明は、蛋白素材を主原料とする食品又は飼料の保存性を高めながら物性を向上させる添加組成物として、それ自体を製品化した発明である。あらゆる食品において品質と保存性を両立させることは、求められている理想であり、課題である。特に、近年デリカ食品など製造してから流通し、食するまでに時間がかかることが多くなると、物性を向上させながら保存性を高めるということは、その食品の付加価値を大きく高めることになる。本発明の添加組成物は、このような観点から強いニーズに応えた価値の高い発明である。
【0020】
【実施例】
本発明に用いるプロタミンは、サケ、ニシン、スケソウタラ等の精子核中にデオキシリボ核酸と結合したヌクレオプロタミンとして存在する比較的低分子量の高アルギニン含有の強塩基性蛋白質である。本発明においては、遊離状態のプロタミン、あるいはプロタミン硫酸塩、塩酸塩などの塩などいずれの形でも用いることができる。尚、当該プロタミンの製造方法には色々あるが、一般には、前記魚類の精巣を磨砕し、希硫酸又は希塩酸を加え、得られたプロタミン抽出液にアルコールを加えて沈殿させ、これを強塩基性のイオン交換樹脂を用いてフリーのプロタミンにする方法が行われている。しかし、どのような方法で得られたものでも、食品衛生上問題がないものであれば、本発明において使用可能である。

[Industrial application fields]
The present invention relates to a method for producing a food or feed containing a protein material having excellent storage stability and an additive composition therefor. The present invention uses a transglutaminase that reacts with and acts on various proteins contained in wheat, milk, egg, meat, soybean, etc., and protamine in combination, thereby preserving food or feed using these protein materials as raw materials. It is going to improve.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Protamine have that salmon is a simple protein of a strong base of which is bound male fish testis of the herring, the DNA of sperm mature in the so-called milt. Protamine is designated as a preservative for food additives under the name shirako protein, and protamine alone has antibacterial activity, but in order to effectively exhibit its antibacterial properties, it is used in combination with existing antibacterial substances (special Kaisho 62-201563, JP-A 63-17679) are used in various forms suitable for various foods such as noodles, marine products and processed egg products.
[0003]
On the other hand, transglutaminase (γ-glutamyl transferase) is an enzyme that catalyzes the acyl transfer reaction of γ-carboxyad group of glutamine residue in peptide chain, and this transglutaminase acts as an acyl acceptor in proteins. When the ε-amino group of the lysine residue acts, an ε- (γ-Glu) -Lys cross-linking bond is formed in the molecule. This enzyme is used for cross-linking polymerization of protein molecules contained in foods, and is applied to improve the physical properties and adhesion of various foods such as noodles, fish paste products, meat transfer, etc., and designated as “food additives other than chemically synthesized products” Has been. However, this transglutaminase itself has no antibacterial property, and the preservation property of the food is determined by the added food substrate. This transglutaminase is known to be derived from animals, from plants, or from microorganisms.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
So far, in order to use protamine as an effective food preservative, research has been made to broaden its antibacterial spectrum and to exert its effect in a minute amount because it is expensive. However, high levels of protamine must be added in order to exert a preservative effect on foods rich in protein, especially fish and livestock products, noodles made from wheat flour, and processed eggs. From the standpoint of sex, it was said that protamine alone was not practical. For this reason, there has been a demand for the discovery of a highly effective substance that can effectively develop the antibacterial properties of protamine in foods and feeds containing protein materials, and the development of a practical preservative that can be assembled.
[0005]
The present inventors searched for the effect of combined use with a new substance in order to effectively develop the antibacterial activity of protamine in food, and conducted intensive research to develop a more practical formulation than ever before as a food preservative. It has been repeated. From the results of many experiments, when protamine and transglutaminase are used in combination in food systems containing protein, the physical property improvement effect of transglutaminase is retained and the antibacterial activity of protamine is effectively expressed. I found a new fact to show.
[0006]
This is because transglutaminase forms a cross-linking bond between glutamine and lysine residues in the amino acids that make up the protein, thereby changing the structure of the protein. I guess it was because of the influence.
[0007]
The present inventor, based on such newly found technical knowledge, tried to improve the storage while improving the physical properties of food containing protein material, and a method for producing food or feed, An additive composition for this purpose was developed and provided.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
A first invention to be patented is a food or feed characterized in that, in the production process of food or feed containing a protein material, preservability is improved by adding / existing protamine and transglutaminase. It is a manufacturing method.
[0009]
The first aspect of the present invention is an invention of a method for producing food or feed, characterized in that the preservability is improved without impairing the quality improvement effect of transglutaminase by using protamine and transglutaminase in combination. The improvement of preservability is a basic invention that utilizes new technical knowledge that the antibacterial properties of protamine are effectively expressed in the environment of foods in which transglutaminase reacts to cross-link and polymerize proteins. In addition, since protamine does not inhibit the cross-linking polymerization reaction of transglutaminase, the present invention can simultaneously exhibit the conventionally known effects of transglutaminase such as an effect of improving physical properties and an effect of improving nutrition by introducing lysine.
[0010]
The second invention to be patented improved the storage stability by adding and presenting protamine and transglutaminase in the manufacturing process of noodles and wheat skins such as noodles made mainly from wheat flour and buckwheat flour. A method for producing a food characterized by the following.
[0011]
Gluten, which is the main component of wheat flour and buckwheat protein, is composed of gliadin and glutenin. The former shows the rich physical properties of flour, and the latter is the basic skeleton of the gluten network structure. It shows physical properties rich in elasticity. In other words, gluten is hydrated and mixed to oxidize the -SH group of L-cysteine in wheat gluten to form an -SS bond, so that the network structure of gluten has physical properties rich in viscoelasticity. . Transglutaminase acts on the network structure of these gluten and promotes the formation of a covalent bond (GL bond) between molecules or between molecules, and has an effect of enhancing the stickiness and elasticity of noodles. In other words, it reproduces the natural stiffness of the noodles and brings about quality improvement effects such as controlling the texture and improving the water retention and improving the connectivity of the noodles. In such an environment, protamine effectively exhibits antibacterial activity, so that the storage stability of the noodles is significantly improved.
[0012]
The third invention to be patented is a method for producing a food product characterized in that preservability is improved by adding and presenting protamine and transglutaminase in the production process of fishery products or livestock meat products.
[0013]
Marine products, which are foods based on protein materials, can be broadly classified into processed fishery products and processed fishery products. In the former processed fishery products, transglutaminase retains the original flavor of the sushi roll. Each quality as an adhesive for molding of ingredients, shrimp patties and number of children, as a binding force improver such as tuna flakes, as a particle feeling enhancer such as cod roe and mentaiko or as a retort resistant imparting material such as peeled shrimp Used for improvement. Also, in the latter fishery product, transglutaminase is used as an elasticity enhancer for steamed rice cakes, as a material for imparting suppleness of straw and fried rice, and as a substitute for lower surimi such as bamboo rings. in use. As a method of use, it is added by a dusting method or a water-soluble method. In any of such usage modes, when transglutaminase and protamine are added in combination, the antibacterial activity of protamine is effectively expressed and the preservation of the marine product can be enhanced.
[0014]
On the other hand, in livestock meat products, which are foods based on protein materials, transglutaminase is used as an adhesive to attach pieces of livestock such as molded steaks while maintaining the original flavor of the material, and as an anti-breaking material such as ham and char siu, It has been widely used to improve the physical properties of foods such as ham and sausage, as a material for enhancing the binding strength of sausages, as a material for enhancing the elasticity of sausages, and as a flavor improving material such as ham, and to improve the quality by adhesion. In the present invention, by using transglutaminase and protamine in combination, preservability is enhanced and the added value of the product is increased without impairing the effect of improving the physical properties of the food in any of the usage modes. The combined addition composition of transglutaminase and protamine can be added and existed by various methods such as a water-soluble addition method, a dusting method, a powder transfer method, a pickle solution usage method, and a powder addition method.
[0015]
A fourth invention to be patented is a food production method characterized in that in the production process of an egg processed food, the preservability is improved by adding and existing protamine and transglutaminase.
[0016]
The protein of the egg processed food that is the subject of the fourth invention is composed of egg white protein (ovalbumin) and egg yolk protein, and transglutaminase reacts particularly well with egg yolk protein to improve the elasticity of fried egg, Demonstrate physical properties, such as facilitating the formation of thin baked eggs. In this case, when protamine is used in combination, the antibacterial properties of protamine are effectively expressed, and the shelf life of the resulting product is greatly improved.
[0017]
As described above, the present invention can be preserved by using in combination with protamine in foods in which transglutaminase can be used to improve physical properties, particularly in noodles and skins, marine and livestock products, egg processed foods mainly made of wheat flour. The effect is enhanced, and storage stability and physical properties can be improved at the same time.

【The invention's effect】
In the present invention, as described above, in the environment of a food in which transglutaminase reacts to cross-link and polymerize the protein, the antibacterial property of protamine is effectively expressed, and protamine improves the physical properties of the protein that transglutaminase has. Since the action and the quality improvement effect are not hindered, by using both of them together, it is possible to produce foods and feeds that simultaneously realize the preservation and the physical properties. At the same time, it is a technical problem that has been difficult to achieve, although anyone wants to improve the quality and storage stability of foods containing protein materials. The present invention is a technique that solves this problem and synergistically increases the added value of food.
