JP5467858B2 - Quality improver for processed meat foods - Google Patents

Description

  The present invention relates to a quality improving agent and a quality improving method for processed meat foods such as livestock meat and seafood. More specifically, the present invention relates to a quality improving agent and a quality improving method for processed meat foods that can improve the texture and improve the yield of food processed from livestock meat.

  Conventionally, polymerized phosphates such as sodium polyphosphate have been used exclusively for the purpose of improving the texture and yield of processed meat foods (Patent Document 1). Polymerized phosphate removes calcium ions bound in meat protein by sequestering action, gives structural changes to the meat protein, softens the texture, raises the pH of the meat protein, and increases water retention. Increase yield to improve yield. However, polymerized phosphate has virtually no effect on the control of the outflow of moisture and fats and oils due to heating during processing of meat materials. In the cold state after processing, the above-mentioned soft texture cannot be maintained and the hard texture Disadvantages such as the problem that calcium in the body is excreted by phosphate, and the problem of wastewater associated with its use are discussed, and a processed food containing no polymerized phosphate is desired.

  As described above, conventionally, no additive that sufficiently satisfies the demands of the industry is known as an additive for improving the quality of processed meat products such as livestock meat, and its development is desired.

Japanese Patent Application No. 6-261710

  The present invention provides an excellent texture because the meat quality does not become hard and the outflow of gravy is reduced even when cooking food processed from meat such as livestock as raw material, and improves the yield. It is an object to provide a quality improving agent and a quality improving method for processed meat foods.

In order to achieve the above object, the inventors of the present invention have intensively studied. As a result, if the quality improving agent for processed meat foods contains, as an active ingredient, a raw material for mineral preparations obtained by firing plants, The present inventors have found that even when cooked processed foods are cooked, the meat quality is soft, a juicy texture rich in gravy can be obtained, and the yield can be significantly improved, and the present invention has been completed.
In particular, a synergistic effect is obtained when at least one selected from plant minerals extracted from a water-soluble solvent after baking sesame seed coat, red bean seed coat, buckwheat seed coat and birch leaves is obtained. It has been found that even when food processed as a raw material is cooked, the meat quality is soft, a juicy texture rich in gravy can be obtained, and the yield can be significantly improved.

  The present invention is a quality-improving agent for processed meat foods characterized by containing, as an active ingredient, a raw material for mineral preparations obtained by firing a plant.

  That is, the present invention contains a raw material for mineral preparations obtained by firing plants without containing polymerized phosphate, and in particular, the raw material for mineral preparations is plant seeds, in particular, sesame seed coats, red beans. It is a quality improving agent for processed meat foods obtained by baking at least one plant selected from seed coat, buckwheat seed coat and bamboo leaves.

Thus, according to the present invention, a quality improving agent for processed meat foods characterized in that it contains at least one selected from plant mineral preparations as an active ingredient.
Moreover, according to this invention, the quality improvement method of the processed meat food characterized by adding so that a vegetable mineral preparation may be 0.1-50 weight part with respect to 100 weight part of meat is provided. .

  According to the quality-improving agent and quality-improving method for processed meat products of the present invention, when the processed food is cooked by adding it to processed meat food such as livestock meat, fish and shellfish, especially processed food from livestock meat, In addition, it is possible to obtain a juicy texture that is soft and rich in meat juice, and the yield can be significantly improved. Furthermore, since the freshness of the meat quality is maintained, the appearance after cooking is good. The quality improving agent for processed meat foods of this invention is safe for food sanitation and extremely useful in industry.

  The plant mineral preparation used in the present invention is a solvent such as ion-exchanged water or pure water after burning and ashing plants such as sesame seed coats such as defatted sesame seeds, red bean seed coats, buckwheat seed coats, trees or bamboo leaves. Extracted in

  The plant mineral preparation is characterized by being added to 0.5 to 50 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of meat.

  For example, the sesame used in the present invention is a plant belonging to the genus Sesamum indicum, and is an annual plant in tropical Africa. There are about 16 genera in the sesame family, one of which is the sesame genus. About 38 species of sesame are currently known, but they are almost wild species. On the other hand, there is only one cultivated species, but it is said that there are about 3000 types in the world when this is further divided into varieties and lines. It is an annual plant that grows close to 1 meter in height and is extremely resistant to high temperatures and humidity. The stems are square and the leaves are opposite in the lower part and alternate in the upper part, with a long handle and an oval shape. And many seeds are contained in the pods. Seed colors include white, yellow, brown and black. The black rice seed is often classified as Sesamum orientalis, but in the present invention, it belongs to Sesamum indicum. In the present invention, all varieties of sesame can be used. Further, as described above, the present invention includes sesame seeds as well as leaves and stems.

  Also, for example, red beans are an annual plant of legumes and are said to be native to China, and the leaves have a long pattern and are divided into three small leaves. As the seed coat of red beans, seed coats such as dynagon, quail adzuki bean, and white adzuki bean can be used.

  In addition, for example, buckwheat is an annual plant of the family Taceae and is cultivated in various temperate regions of the world. The stem is soft, upright, round, red, about 40-70 cm in height, and the leaves are triangular and have long leaves. In early autumn, white flowers grow at the end of the stem and connect black fruits with a three-ringed skin. In the present invention, the skin is peeled from the fruit, and the seeds of buckwheat, leaves, and stems are included.

  In addition, for example, cocoons can use trees, which are a general term for plants belonging to the genus Camellia. In the narrow sense, it refers to the Japanese camellia (also known as camellia, or simply camellia, scientific name: Camellia japonica). This is a typical laurel forest and its flowering season is from winter to spring.

  The present invention is not limited as long as it contains, as an active ingredient, a raw material for mineral preparations obtained by firing a plant. In particular, ash (baked product) of seed plants, especially sesame seeds, red beans, buckwheat or persimmons. Each ash (baked product) is preferred. More preferred are sesame seed coat, red bean seed coat, buckwheat seed coat or bamboo ash ash (baked product). When the baking temperature is 500 ° C. to 900 ° C., which is less than 500 ° C., the organic matter is not sufficiently decomposed, and the composition of the decomposed product (particularly derived from polyphenol) causes problems such as appearance and taste due to discoloration. On the other hand, when the temperature exceeds 900 ° C., the inherent effect is reduced by the decomposition of an organic acid compound having a chelating ability such as phytic acid that sequesters the alkaline earth metals, particularly polyvalent metals, which impair the juiciness of meat.

In the method of the present invention, the addition to the processed meat food may be added directly to the raw material in the manufacturing process of the processed meat food, or may be added after dissolving in water during the manufacturing process.
In this invention, as processed meat food, hamburger, meatballs, chicken teriyaki, meat and loaf, tsukune, dumplings, Shumai, Chinese bun, spring rolls, which are foods processed from livestock and fish meat and ground meat Menchikatsu, seafood fries and so on.

  As long as the quality improving agent of the present invention does not impair the effect, food ingredients such as bread crumbs, chicken eggs, onions and the like, seasonings such as salt, sodium glutamate, mirin, cooking liquor, sugar, glucose, xylose , Sugar syrup, isomerized sugar, glycyrrhizin, sweeteners such as stevia, aspartame, sorbit, spices such as allspice, pepper, mace, preservatives such as sorbic acid, sodium benzoate, sodium ascorbate, vitamin C, mixed tocopherol Antioxidants such as lecithin, emulsifiers such as glycerin fatty acid esters, thickening stabilizers such as xanthan gum, guar gum, carrageenan, plant proteins such as soy protein and wheat gluten, phosphate cross-linked starch, starch hydrolysates and organic acids Added modified starch and pregelatinized starch , Coloring agents, etc. may be used in combination with perfume.

  The present invention will be described below as test examples, but the present invention is not limited to these test examples.

(Adjustment of plant extract)
The red bean seed coat, defatted sesame seed coat, buckwheat seed coat or bamboo leaf was put into an electric furnace and heated to 800 ° C., followed by baking for 1 hour to obtain a burned product. After cooling 100 g of the obtained fired product to room temperature, 1 L of water was added and the mixture was extracted by stirring for 15 hours, followed by concentration with an evaporator to obtain 300 ml of each mineral extract as an extract. The mineral extract is an embodiment of the raw material for mineral preparation.

(Confirmation test for quality improvement effect of fried chicken from chicken)
Chicken fried chicken was prepared using the plant mineral extract obtained in each Example, and the texture and yield were evaluated.

Pickle liquid 1 part soy sauce, 1.4 parts salt, 1.2 parts sugar, 0.2 part L-glutamic acid Na, 33.8 parts cold water, 20 parts plant mineral extract, total 57.6 parts

  The pickle solution of the above formulation was adjusted, and 57.6 parts of the adjusted pickle solution was added to chicken thigh (100 parts) previously cut to 15 to 20 g and tumbled (25 rpm, 1 hour). Next, 30 parts of batter ring (kneaded type kara-fried meat based on the weight of the meat was used, and the mixture was allowed to cool after 170 minutes at 170-180 ° C. to obtain a deep-fried product.

Comparative Example In the present invention, a comparative fried product was obtained in the same manner as in Example except that 0.5 part of sodium polyphosphate was dissolved in 19.5 parts of water instead of the plant mineral extract. The target product was obtained by adding 20 parts of water to the pickle solution without adding the quality improver of this example.

Test example 1
For the deep-fried products and the fried products obtained in each of the examples and comparative examples, the weight measurement results were obtained as relative values with the initial meat material weight being 100, and these were compared to compare the product yield. The results are shown in the table.

From Table 1, the product according to the present invention (Example 1) clearly shows a yield improvement effect as compared with the comparative product (Comparative Example 1) and the target product (Comparative Example 2).

Test example 2
In addition, the texture was evaluated by a tasting test with 10 panelists randomly selected.
Each of the items of soft feeling and juicy feeling was evaluated in ± 2 steps (+2 very soft + 1 software, 0 same, −1 slightly hard, −2 fairly hard).

  From the table, it is clear that a product having a softer and more juicy texture can be obtained than a comparative product (Comparative Example 1) using a conventional phosphate.

Test example 3
Next, the chicken breast was prepared using the plant mineral extract obtained in each Example, and texture and yield were evaluated. Equal weight of salt water (1% concentration) was added to the weight of chicken breast. The sample addition amount (each plant extract) was 25% substituted with brine. A test was also conducted in parallel with the addition of 0.1% of calcined shellfish calcium and 5% addition amount of the sesame seeds.

  The soaked chicken was stored refrigerated for 4 days, and after observing the appearance, the weight of the steamed meat for 10 minutes was measured to determine the yield. Thereafter, the steamed chicken was raised in a microwave (500 W for 2 minutes) to obtain the yield.

  As a result, in the table, the appearance was almost the same as that of the blank, while the leaves were bright red. The yield after steaming was 107% for the buckwheat-derived mineral extract and 102% for the leaf extract-derived mineral extract, which were more than the original raw meat weight. In addition, the texture was hard to add, but the soba-derived mineral extract and the koji leaf-derived mineral extract were very soft.

Next, the shrimp was tested.
The test method was carried out with 25% added to the weight of shrimp, and after 1 day, the yield and texture in 2 minutes were boiled.
The results are shown in Table 4,

  Although the appearance of Example 3 was slightly yellow in the mineral leaf-derived mineral extract, the yield was excellent in the mineral leaf-derived mineral extract, and the texture was excellent in the pre-feel and softness.

The fish meat was then evaluated.
After measuring the fillet weight of the tuna, 30 ml of plant mineral extract (1%) was injected with an injector (mini-injector TN-SP18 type, manufactured by Tonichi Co., Ltd.) injection needle outer diameter of 2.5 mm. The fillet is frozen at -40 ° C. The fillet was cut into several pieces, the weight thereof was measured, and the fillet was heated with a hot plate (surface temperature 200 ° C.) until the fillet internal temperature reached 80 ° C., and the weight was measured.

Yield after baking (%) = Weight after baking / Weight before baking x 100

As a result, in particular, the buckwheat-derived mineral extract improved the yield after baking, and the texture was excellent in softness.
