Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、酒類本来の風味を損なうことなく且つおり下げ効率のよい酒類のおり下げ剤、および該おり下げ剤を用いる酒類の製造方法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
清酒やみりんなどの酒類は、微生物菌体や原料由来の濁り物質(以下「おり」という)を含んでおり、おり下げやおり引きを行なうことにより、清澄な高品質の製品を製造することができる。特に火入れを行なった後や長期保存によっておりが生じ易く、これらのおりは商品の価値を損なうため、できるだけ効率よくおりを除去することが必要とされている。特にみりんの調理時の加熱(煮切り)により発生するおりは、透明感とてりを重視する料理にとって大きな欠点となる。現在、酒類の製造には、寒天、柿タンニン、珪藻土、酸性白土およびベントナイトなどのおり下げ剤が用いられている。また、種々のシリカゾルがおり下げ剤として、提案されている(例えば、特許文献1参照。)。これらのおり下げ剤は、おり下げ効率の点からも充分とは言えないものもある。また、みりんのおり下げについては、おり下げ後に糖質を混合する工程を含有する製造方法(例えば、特許文献2参照。)や、さらにみりんの調理時の加熱(煮切り)により発生するおりを除去する方法として、プロテアーゼ製剤の利用やもち米の塩酸浸漬方法などが提案されている(例えば、非特許文献1参照。)。しかし、これらの方法も操作の煩雑性、除去効率、品質などの点で有効な方法とは言えない。一方、卵白、ゼラチン、小麦グルテン等の蛋白もおり下げ剤として、主に、柿タンニンの助剤として、柿タンニンと併せて用いられているが、これらの蛋白は単独使用では有効なおり下げ剤としては用いられていない(例えば、非特許文献2参照。)。最近、清酒のおり下げ方法として、柿タンニン−ゼラチン法のゼラチンの代わりに生原酒を分画分子量30,000の限外ろ過処理後、熱処理した蛋白濃縮液を用いる方法が報告されている(例えば、非特許文献3参照。)。しかし、この方法は、清酒の蛋白を用いる清酒おりのおり下げ方法であり、この方法に用いられるおり下げ剤を得るには複雑な製造工程を必要とし、さらに他のおり下げ剤、柿タンニンと共に用いる方法であることから、単独ではおり下げ剤として用いられず、該方法を広く他の酒類の製造に利用することは難しい。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明が解決しようとする課題は、酒類の本来の味や香りなどの風味を損なうことなく、食品の安全性重視の流れにそった植物食品由来のおり下げ剤で、なおかつ、単独で利用でき、おり下げ効率の点からも優れたおり下げ剤を提供することにある。
【0005】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者らは、前記課題解決のために鋭意研究を重ねた結果、みりんもろみに含まれる物質が、単独で酒類、特にみりんの火入れおりを効率よく除去することを見出し、本発明を完成するに至った。
すなわち、本発明は、みりんもろみの液体部をで希釈して得られる混濁物質を有効物質として含有することを特徴とするおり下げ剤であり、みりんもろみの液体部にを加えて希釈し、生成した混濁物質を取得する工程を含むことを特徴とするおり下げ剤の製造方法である。さらに本発明は、酒類の製造方法において、該酒類に上記おり下げ剤を加える工程を含むことを特徴とする酒類の製造方法である。
【0006】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明を詳細に説明する。本発明において、みりんもろみとは、一般に、みりんや酒精含有甘味調味料などの製造工程において、米又は蒸煮米及びアミラーゼ作用により得られる米の液化物を米麹および焼酎などとともに仕込み、糖化、熟成して得られるもろみを言う。すなわち本発明では、蒸煮した米を麹菌とアルコールの存在下糖化熟成させて得られたもろみは、全て本発明のみりんもろみに含まれる。一般に、仕込み後、7日〜70日経過して熟成したみりんもろみが本発明では、好ましく用いられる。例えば、蒸したもち米または粳米と、米麹と水とアルコールとを混和し、麹菌酵素で糖化熟成させて得られるみりんもろみなどが好ましく、蒸もち米3Kgに米麹60gを加え、さらに40%エタノール液2160mLを添加して、20〜35℃で2〜3週間保持して得られるみりんもろみなどが一例として挙げられる。
【0007】
みりんもろみの液体部とは、みりんもろみから粕などの不溶物を除いた液体部を言い、通常上記もろみを圧搾処理し、得られた搾汁液を言う。液体部を得る方法としては、適宜本発明に好ましい方法であれば、如何なる方法でも用いることができるが、例えば、種々の圧搾法、遠心分離法、減圧膜ろ過法、加圧膜ろ過法、静置デカント法など、好ましくは、食品分野で用いられている圧搾法や遠心分離法、静置デカント法などが挙げられる。これらの液体部のアルコール濃度は、一般に7%以上、好ましくは10%以上である。
【0008】
次に、本発明に用いられるとしては、例えば、飲食品の製造に用いられる、飲料用水や天然水、蒸留水などが挙げられる本発明では、上記を用いてみりんもろみの液体部を希釈する。すなわち、みりんもろみの液体部1部に対して上記を0.01〜300部、好ましくは1〜20部加えて、均一に攪拌、混合する。この場合、みりんもろみの液体部のアルコール濃度を14%以下、好ましくは0.4〜12%以下になるように添加する。希釈方法は、にみりんもろみの液体部を添加しても、みりんもろみの液体部にを添加してもよく、また、直接一度に添加しても、少量ずつ添加してもよい。適宜攪拌するなど混合することにより、最終的にみりんもろみの液体部との均一な希釈液を得ることができれば、如何なる方法も用いることができる。
みりんもろみの液体部をで希釈することにより、希釈液中に本発明のおり下げ剤である混濁物質が生成する。この希釈により生成する混濁物質をおり下げ剤として用いることができる。通常、1時間以上静置したのち生成した混濁物質を用いることが好ましい。次に、希釈液から生成した混濁物質を取得する。取得する方法としては、一般に食品製造工程において、通常用いられている混濁物質を取得、除去する方法などを用いることができる。例えば、遠心分離法、膜ろ過法、ろ過助剤を用いるろ過法などが挙げられる。遠心分離法により混濁物質を取得する場合は、例えば、日立製himacCR21型、日立製himacCF7D2型などの遠心分離器を用いて、混合液を100rpm〜30,000rpm、好ましくは500rpm〜3000rpmで3分〜1時間、好ましくは10分〜30分、もしくは連続的に遠心分離をして、取得する。膜ろ過法により混濁物質を取得する場合は、セルロース膜や限外ろ過膜UF膜などを用いて、圧力差により混濁物質をろ別することができる。またセライトなどのろ過助剤を用いてろ別することもできる。取得された混濁物質は、そのままおり下げ剤として用いることができるが、さらに自然乾燥、加熱乾燥、凍結乾燥などの方法により適宜乾燥して粉末状の本発明のおり下げ剤を得ることができる。このようにして、例えば、みりんもろみの液体部1Lから0.01〜1g、好ましくは0.1〜0.5gの粉末の本発明おり下げ剤を取得することができる。また、みりんもろみの液体部にで希釈して得られる混濁物質は混合液の下方に自然に沈殿するため、上澄みを除くことにより効率よく混濁物質を含む区分を取得することができる。用途によっては、得られた混濁物質を含む懸濁液をそのままおり下げ剤として用いることもできる。上記おり下げ剤を製造する場合の温度は、通常の食品の製造に用いられる温度でよく、室温でも、低温でもよい。このように簡単な製造方法により本発明のおり下げ剤を製造することができる。
【0009】
本発明の有効物質とは、以下に述べるように、本発明の酒類の製造において、単独で添加しても優れたおり下げ効果を有する物質を言い、上記したみりんもろみの液体部をで希釈して得られる混濁物質を言う。
【0010】
本発明のおり下げ剤は、上記有効物質を含有する混濁物質を含有していればすべて本発明に含まれ、混濁物質に酒類の他の成分や物質が混入していても、有効物質を含有している限り本発明に含まれる。例えば、上記有効物質を含有する原料のみりんもろみやみりんもろみの液体部もおり下げ剤として用いることもできるが、特に、本発明の方法によって得られた混濁物質そのものを本発明のおり下げ剤として用いることが好ましい。本発明のおり下げ剤の保存性を向上させるため、食品に添加できる各種安定剤や各種殺菌剤などの物質を適宜添加することもできる。これらの物質としては、グリセリンや乳酸などが挙げられる。
次に、本発明のおり下げ剤を用いる酒類の製造方法について説明する。本発明のおり下げに好適に用いられる酒類としては、みりん、清酒、リキュールなどが挙げられ、それらの中でもみりん、リキュールなどが特に好適な酒類として挙げられる。本発明では、これらの酒類に本発明のおり下げ剤を添加し、攪拌することにより、柿タンニンなどの他のおり下げ剤と併用することなく、単独で該酒類に含まれるおり成分を有効に凝集沈殿せしめることができる。
【0011】
本発明の酒類のおり下げは、酒類の製造方法において、該酒類に本発明のおり下げ剤を加え、適宜、攪拌、混合することにより行なう。この本発明のおり下げ剤を加える工程は、酒類の製造工程中どの段階においても行なうことができる。例えば、好ましい方法としては、酒類の製造方法において、火入れ工程を行なった後に生じたおりを除くことが一般的に行なわれていることから、製造工程のうちでも、本発明のおり下げ剤を加えた後、火入れ工程およびろ過工程を行なうことが特に有効である。例えば、本発明のおり下げ剤を添加し、均一になるように攪拌した後、80℃〜120℃達温、又は達温後〜90秒保持する火入れを行なうことにより、通常のおり下げに比べて、少量の添加量で、短時間でより多くのおりを凝集沈殿せしめることができ、より効率的におり下げを行なうことができる。この場合、火入れ前の酒類に添加する本発明おり下げ剤の添加量は、用いる酒類の種類、製造方法の違いなどによって異なり、例えばみりんの場合、本発明おり下げ剤(粉末)を0.0005%(w/v)以上、特に好ましくは0.002%(w/v)以上添加する。本発明では、本発明のおり下げ剤を加えた後、火入れ工程及び/又はろ過工程を行なった後に、一定時間貯蔵後に生じたおりを除くことも有効である。また、火入れ工程及び/又はろ過工程を実施後、該酒類に本発明のおり下げ剤を加えることによりおり下げを行なう場合、本発明のおり下げ剤の添加量を少なくすることもできる。また本発明おり下げ剤を加える工程を含む本発明の酒類の製造方法においては、酒類の種類や用途によっては、適宜、他の工程、例えば火入れ工程やろ過工程などの工程を省略することができる。さらに、他のおり下げ剤(例えばベントナイト等)と同時に添加し、併用することや、本発明のおり下げ剤によるおり下げ処理と他のおり下げ剤によるおり下げ処理とを組み合わせて用いることも有効である場合もある。このようにして、本発明のおり下げ剤を加える工程を行なった後、製品とされ、もしくはその後の製造工程に供される。すなわち、酒類の製造方法において、本発明のおり下げ剤を加える工程を含む酒類の製造方法は、すべて本発明の酒類の製造方法に含まれる。このように、本発明のおり下げ剤を用いる製造方法により、おり下げ剤を複数併用することなく、単独のおり下げ剤で有効に酒類のおりを除去できるため、製造工程を簡略化できるばかりでなく、原料がみりんもろみ由来であるため、安全性重視の流れにそった、食品本来の風味を損なうことのない、品質の安定した酒類を製造することができる。特にみりんの場合、本発明の製造方法により製造されたみりんは、調理時の加熱(煮切り)により発生するおりが効率的に除去されている。
(おりの検出および測定方法)
火入れおりの検出は米国ハック社製の101型濁度計を用い、標準物として、ホルマジン溶液を使用する。表示単位はNTUである。なお、ホルマジン溶液1ppmの濁度が1NTU単位である。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an alcoholic beverage lowering agent that does not impair the original flavor of alcoholic beverages and has a good lowering efficiency, and a method for producing alcoholic beverages using the alcoholic beverage lowering agent.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Alcoholic beverages such as refined sake and mirin contain microbial cells and turbid substances derived from raw materials (hereinafter referred to as “origin”). it can. In particular, it is easy to cause a defect after burning or long-term storage, and these cages impair the value of the product. Therefore, it is necessary to remove the cage as efficiently as possible. In particular, the cauldron generated by heating (cooking) when cooking mirin is a major drawback for dishes that emphasize transparency and territory. At present, for the production of alcoholic beverages, lowering agents such as agar, straw tannin, diatomaceous earth, acid clay and bentonite are used. Various silica sols have been proposed as lowering agents (see, for example, Patent Document 1). Some of these lowering agents are not sufficient in terms of the lowering efficiency. In addition, for mirin lowering, there is a production method (for example, refer to Patent Document 2) that includes a step of mixing carbohydrates after lowering, and further, heating that occurs when mirin is cooked (cooking). As methods for removal, use of a protease preparation, a method of dipping glutinous rice in hydrochloric acid, and the like have been proposed (for example, see Non-Patent Document 1). However, these methods are not effective methods in terms of operational complexity, removal efficiency, quality, and the like. On the other hand, proteins such as egg white, gelatin and wheat gluten are also used as a lowering agent, mainly as an auxiliary agent for persimmon tannin, but these proteins are effective when used alone. Is not used (see, for example, Non-Patent Document 2). Recently, as a method for lowering sake, a method has been reported in which a raw concentrate is subjected to ultrafiltration treatment with a molecular weight cut off of 30,000 instead of gelatin in the tannin-gelatin method, and then a heat-treated protein concentrate is used (for example, Non-patent document 3). However, this method is a method for lowering the sake sake using the protein of sake, and a complicated manufacturing process is required to obtain the lowering agent used in this method. Since it is a method used, it is not used alone as a lowering agent, and it is difficult to widely use the method for the production of other alcoholic beverages.

In the present invention, mirin moromi generally refers to rice or steamed rice and rice liquefaction obtained by amylase action together with rice bran and shochu in the production process of mirin and sake-containing sweet seasonings, and saccharification and aging Say the moromi obtained. That is, in the present invention, all moromi obtained by saccharification and ripening of cooked rice in the presence of koji mold and alcohol is included in the moromi mash of the present invention. In general, mirin moromi ripened 7 to 70 days after charging is preferably used in the present invention. For example, steamed and glutinous rice or non-glutinous, mixing a rice koji and water alcohol, mirin moromi is preferably obtained by saccharification aged koji enzymes, rice koji 60g addition to steam glutinous rice 3 Kg, further 40% ethanol An example is mirin moromi obtained by adding 2160 mL of the liquid and holding it at 20 to 35 ° C. for 2 to 3 weeks.
[0007]
The liquid part of mirin moromi refers to a liquid part obtained by removing insolubles such as koji from mirin moromi, and usually refers to a juice obtained by squeezing the moromi. As a method for obtaining the liquid part, any method can be used as long as it is a preferable method for the present invention. For example, various pressing methods, centrifugal separation methods, vacuum membrane filtration methods, pressure membrane filtration methods, The decantation method and the like, preferably, the squeezing method, the centrifugal separation method, the static decantation method and the like used in the food field. The alcohol concentration in these liquid parts is generally 7% or more, preferably 10% or more.
[0008]
Next, as water used for this invention, the water for drinks, natural water, distilled water, etc. which are used for manufacture of food-drinks are mentioned, for example . In the present invention, the liquid portion of mirin moromi is diluted with the water . That is, 0.01 to 300 parts, preferably 1 to 20 parts of the above water is added to 1 part of the liquid part of mirin moromi and stirred and mixed uniformly. In this case, it is added so that the alcohol concentration in the liquid part of mirin moromi is 14% or less, preferably 0.4 to 12% or less. Dilution method, be added to the liquid portion of the mirin mash in water, may be added to water to the liquid portion of the mirin mash, also it is added directly at once, or may be added in small portions. Any method can be used as long as the liquid part of mirin and the uniform dilution of water can be finally obtained by mixing such as stirring.
By diluting the liquid part of mirin moromi with water , a turbid substance which is the lowering agent of the present invention is formed in the diluted solution. The turbid substance produced by this dilution can be used as a lowering agent. Usually, it is preferable to use a turbid substance produced after standing for 1 hour or more. Next, the turbid substance produced | generated from the dilution liquid is acquired. As a method for obtaining, generally used methods for obtaining and removing turbid substances usually used in food production processes can be used. Examples thereof include a centrifugal separation method, a membrane filtration method, and a filtration method using a filter aid.

When obtaining a turbid substance by a membrane filtration method, the turbid substance can be separated by a pressure difference using a cellulose membrane or an ultrafiltration membrane ( UF membrane ) . It can also be filtered off using a filter aid such as Celite. The obtained turbid substance can be used as it is as a lowering agent, but it can be appropriately dried by a method such as natural drying, heat drying, freeze drying, etc. to obtain the powdered lowering agent of the present invention. In this way, for example, the present invention lowering agent of 0.01 to 1 g, preferably 0.1 to 0.5 g of powder can be obtained from 1 L of the liquid part of mirin moromi. Moreover, since the turbid substance obtained by diluting the liquid part of mirin moromi with water naturally precipitates below the mixed liquid, it is possible to efficiently obtain a section containing the turbid substance by removing the supernatant. Depending on the application, the obtained suspension containing the turbid substance can be used as it is as a lowering agent. The temperature for producing the lowering agent may be the temperature used for the production of ordinary foods, and may be room temperature or low temperature. Thus, the lowering agent of the present invention can be produced by a simple production method.

The lowering agent of the present invention is included in the present invention as long as it contains a turbid substance containing the above-mentioned effective substance, and contains an effective substance even if other components and substances of liquor are mixed in the turbid substance. As long as they are included in the present invention. For example, only the raw material containing the above-mentioned effective substance can be used as a lowering agent for the liquid part of phosphorus moromi or mirin moromi, but in particular, the turbid substance itself obtained by the method of the present invention is used as the lowering agent for the present invention. It is preferable to use it. In order to improve the storage stability of the lowering agent of the present invention, substances such as various stabilizers and various bactericides that can be added to foods can be appropriately added. Examples of these substances include glycerin and lactic acid.
Next, a method for producing an alcoholic beverage using the lowering agent of the present invention will be described. Examples of liquors that are preferably used for lowering the present invention include mirin, sake, and liqueur. Among them, mirin and liqueur are particularly suitable. In the present invention, by adding the stirring agent of the present invention to these alcoholic beverages and stirring, the components contained in the alcoholic beverage can be effectively used alone without using in combination with other alcoholic agent such as straw tannin. It can be agglomerated and precipitated.

For example, after adding the lowering agent of the present invention and stirring to be uniform, a temperature of 80 ° C. to 120 ° C. is reached, or after the temperature is reached, holding for 90 seconds is performed. Thus, with a small amount of addition, more cages can be coagulated and precipitated in a short time, and lowering can be performed more efficiently. In this case, the amount of the present invention lowering agent added to the liquor before burning varies depending on the type of alcohol used, the difference in the production method, and the like. For example, in the case of mirin, the present invention lowering agent (powder) is added by 0.0005. % (W / v) or more, particularly preferably 0.002% (w / v) or more. In the present invention, after adding the lowering agent of the present invention, it is also effective to remove the cage generated after storage for a certain period of time after performing the firing step and / or the filtering step. In addition, when the lowering agent of the present invention is added to the liquor after the firing step and / or the filtering step, the amount of the lowering agent of the present invention can be reduced. Further, in the method for producing an alcoholic beverage of the present invention including a step of adding a lowering agent according to the present invention, depending on the type and use of the alcoholic beverage, other steps such as a firing step and a filtration step can be omitted as appropriate. . Furthermore, it is also effective to add and use together with other lowering agents (for example, bentonite, etc.), or to use a combination of the lowering treatment with the present lowering agent and the lowering treatment with other lowering agent. Can be. Thus, after performing the process of adding the lowering agent of this invention, it is made into a product or used for a subsequent manufacturing process. That is, in the method for producing alcoholic beverages, all methods for producing alcoholic beverages including the step of adding the lowering agent of the present invention are included in the method for producing alcoholic beverages of the present invention. As described above, the production method using the lowering agent of the present invention can effectively remove the alcoholic liquor with a single lowering agent without using a plurality of lowering agents, so that the manufacturing process can be simplified. In addition, since the raw material is derived from mirin moromi, it is possible to produce a liquor with a stable quality that does not impair the original flavor of the food, in line with the importance of safety. In particular, in the case of mirin, mirin produced by the production method of the present invention efficiently removes the cage generated by heating (cooking) during cooking.
