Description

本発明は、食塩含有量を減らすことによる塩味の弱さや物足りなさを補うために塩味増強剤を添加することにより、食塩含有量を減らしたにも関わらず、良好な塩味を感じる低食塩醤油又は低食塩醤油調味料に関する。   The present invention is a low salt soy sauce that has a good salty taste even though the salt content is reduced by adding a salty taste enhancer in order to compensate for the weakness and lack of salty taste due to the reduced salt content. Related to low salt soy sauce seasoning.

食塩(塩化ナトリウム)は、人間にとって必要不可欠な栄養成分である。例えば、体内の水分及びpHの調整、食べ物の消化、栄養素の吸収、神経伝達等が挙げられ、その機能において重要な役割を果たす。さらに、食塩は飲食品のおいしさを左右する重要な役割を果たしている。例えば、旨味や風味の強化、食品の保存、味噌・醤油・パンなどの発酵食品の製造、練り製品やうどんのテクスチャーの付与、葉緑素を安定化させ色調を保持すること等が挙げられる。このように、人間の生活にとって欠かせない食塩であるが、その過剰摂取は、諸説あるものの高血圧、腎臓病、心臓病等の疾病を引き起こすリスクを高めると考えられている。そのため、食塩摂取量、特にナトリウム摂取量を低減することが重要視され、強く望まれている。これは、すでに発症している疾病を治癒させるためだけでなく、健常者に対しても予防的な措置を講ずるためでもある。
食塩摂取量を低減させるためには、単に飲食品の調味や加工において食塩の使用量を減らす方法が考えられるが、上記に論じたように、食塩は食品の風味おいて重要な役割を果たしているため、単に食塩の使用量を減らした飲食品は、風味を損ない、味気ないものとなる。そこで、食塩を低減しても飲食品の食塩味や風味を損なわない技術の開発が強く求められている。
Salt (sodium chloride) is an essential nutrient for humans. For example, adjustment of water and pH in the body, digestion of food, absorption of nutrients, neurotransmission, and the like can be mentioned, which play an important role in their functions. Furthermore, salt plays an important role in determining the taste of food and drink. For example, enhancement of umami and flavor, preservation of food, production of fermented foods such as miso, soy sauce and bread, texture of kneaded products and udon, stabilization of chlorophyll and retention of color. Thus, although it is an essential salt for human life, its excessive intake is thought to increase the risk of causing diseases such as hypertension, kidney disease, heart disease, etc. although there are various theories. For this reason, reducing salt intake, particularly sodium intake, is regarded as important and strongly desired. This is not only to cure a disease that has already developed, but also to take preventive measures for healthy individuals.
In order to reduce the intake of salt, simply reducing the amount of salt used in the seasoning and processing of foods and drinks can be considered, but as discussed above, salt plays an important role in the flavor of food. Therefore, a food or drink that simply reduces the amount of salt used loses the flavor and is unsavory. Therefore, there is a strong demand for the development of technology that does not impair the salty taste and flavor of food and drink even when the salt is reduced.

従来の飲食品における食塩味や風味を損なわず、食塩を低減する減塩方法のひとつとして、それ自身が食塩味を呈する物質、即ち食塩代替物質を使用する方法がある。これに代表されるものとして、例えば塩化カリウム等のカリウム塩、塩化アンモニウム等のアンモニウム塩、塩化マグネシウム等のマグネシウム塩等が知られている。さらにグリシンエチルエステル塩酸塩、リジン塩酸塩等のアミノ酸の塩酸塩、さらに、オルニチルタウリン、オルニチル−ベータ−アラニン、グリシルリジン等の塩基性アミノ酸からなるペプチド類が知られている。これらの塩味代替物質は食塩味のほかに苦味、特有の呈味、不快味を有するといったような欠点がある。これらの塩味代替物質を用いて食塩を低減し、食塩味以外の不快な呈味を抑制する技術として、塩化カリウム、塩化アンモニウム、乳酸カルシウム、L−アスパラギン酸ナトリウム、L−グルタミン酸塩及び/又は核酸系呈味物質を特定の割合で混合してなる調味料組成物(特許文献1)、有機酸のカルシウム塩やマグネシウム塩を組み合わせた塩化カリウムの苦味抑制方法(特許文献2)等が知られている。しかし、今もなお、塩味以外の不快な呈味、塩味強度が低い等の理由で消費者のニーズにあった減塩技術には到達していない。   As one of salt reducing methods for reducing salt without impairing salty taste and flavor in conventional foods and drinks, there is a method of using a substance that exhibits salty taste, that is, a salt substitute substance. Representative examples thereof include potassium salts such as potassium chloride, ammonium salts such as ammonium chloride, magnesium salts such as magnesium chloride, and the like. Furthermore, amino acid hydrochlorides such as glycine ethyl ester hydrochloride and lysine hydrochloride, and peptides composed of basic amino acids such as ornithyl taurine, ornithyl-beta-alanine, and glycyl lysine are known. These salty taste substitutes have drawbacks such as bitterness, unique taste, and unpleasant taste in addition to salty taste. As a technique for reducing salt using these salty taste substitutes and suppressing unpleasant taste other than salty taste, potassium chloride, ammonium chloride, calcium lactate, sodium L-aspartate, L-glutamate and / or nucleic acid A seasoning composition (Patent Document 1) obtained by mixing a systemic taste substance at a specific ratio, a method for suppressing bitterness of potassium chloride in combination with a calcium salt or a magnesium salt of an organic acid (Patent Document 2), etc. are known. Yes. However, the salt reduction technology that meets the needs of consumers has not yet been reached for reasons such as unpleasant taste other than salty taste and low salty strength.

さらに、飲食品における食塩味や風味を損なわず、食塩を低減するもうひとつの減塩方法として、食塩味を増強させ食塩を低減しても食塩味を損なわせない物質、即ち塩味増強物質を使用する方法がある。例えば、L−アルギニン、L−アスパラギン酸及び塩化ナトリウムを組み合わせたもの(特許文献3)、コラーゲンを加水分解して得られる分子量50,000ダルトン以下のペプチド(特許文献4)、ソーマチン(特許文献5)、各種蛋白素材の蛋白加水分解物(特許文献6)、トレハロース(特許文献7)、酵母エキス(特許文献8)、蛋白質を加水分解処理及び脱アミド処理して得られるペプチド(特許文献9)、塩基性アミノ酸とクエン酸とを反応させて生成する中和塩を主成分とする呈味改良剤(特許文献10)等、数多くのものが報告されている。しかし、減塩効果、風味、経済性等の観点から考えると、未だ有効な技術、消費者のニーズにあった技術には到っておらず、食塩を低減しても食塩味および風味を損なわない効果的な減塩技術が強く求められている。   Furthermore, as another salt-reducing method to reduce salt without losing salty taste or flavor in foods and drinks, use a substance that enhances salty taste and does not impair salty taste even if salt is reduced, that is, a salty taste-enhancing substance There is a way to do it. For example, a combination of L-arginine, L-aspartic acid and sodium chloride (patent document 3), a peptide having a molecular weight of 50,000 daltons or less obtained by hydrolyzing collagen (patent document 4), thaumatin (patent document 5), Protein hydrolysates (Patent Document 6), trehalose (Patent Document 7), yeast extract (Patent Document 8), peptides obtained by hydrolyzing and deamidating proteins (Patent Document 9), bases Numerous things have been reported, such as a taste improver (Patent Document 10) mainly composed of a neutralized salt produced by reacting a functional amino acid with citric acid. However, from the viewpoints of salt reduction effect, flavor, economy, etc., it has not yet reached an effective technology or technology that meets the needs of consumers, and even if salt is reduced, salt taste and flavor are impaired. There is a strong need for effective salt reduction techniques.

日本の代表的調味料の一つである醤油はその独特の風味が、日本では勿論のこと、西洋等においても優れた調味料であることが認識され、広く世界中で使用されるにいたっている。特に日本人にとっては、日々欠かせない調味料であり、1日当たりの摂取量は少なくない。醤油は通常、加熱変性させた大豆等の蛋白質原料と小麦等の澱粉質原料の混合物にアスペルギルス属等に属する糸状菌を接種培養して醤油麹となし、これを食塩水に仕込んで発酵熟成させた後濾過して得られる。食塩水に仕込んで発酵熟成させる主たる目的は、発酵、熟成過程における諸味の腐敗防止にあり、仕込みに用いる食塩水の濃度は通常15〜25重量%であり、このような食塩水を用いることにより、製品としての醤油は10〜20重量%の食塩濃度を有するのが普通である。
醤油の食塩濃度を低下させる方法も種々検討されている。例えば、腐敗を避けることのできる限界の低濃度の食塩水を用いる方法、仕込み水にアルコールを併用して腐敗の防止を計る方法、あるいは通常の方法で得られた食塩濃度15〜18重量%の醤油を電気透析や膜処理等により脱塩し、低食塩醤油を製造する方法などが試みられている。しかし、それらの方法では、食塩含有量は低下させることができても、塩味において頼りなく物足りないという欠点を有する。
Soy sauce, one of Japan's leading seasonings, has been recognized for its unique flavor as an excellent seasoning not only in Japan but also in the West, etc. Yes. Especially for the Japanese, it is an essential seasoning, and the daily intake is not small. Soy sauce is usually inoculated and cultured with a filamentous fungus belonging to the genus Aspergillus in a mixture of heat-denatured protein raw materials such as soybeans and starchy raw materials such as wheat, soy sauce cake is prepared, and this is added to saline and fermented and matured. And then filtered. The main purpose of fermenting and ripening the salt solution is to prevent rot of moromi in the fermentation and ripening process. The concentration of the salt solution used for charging is usually 15 to 25% by weight. By using such a salt solution, The soy sauce as a product usually has a salt concentration of 10 to 20% by weight.
Various methods for reducing the salt concentration of soy sauce have been studied. For example, a method of using a low-concentration saline solution that can prevent spoilage, a method of measuring the prevention of spoilage by using alcohol in combination with the feed water, or a salt concentration of 15 to 18% by weight obtained by a normal method Attempts have been made to produce low-salt soy sauce by desalting soy sauce by electrodialysis or membrane treatment. However, these methods have the disadvantage that even if the salt content can be reduced, the salty taste is unreliable.

As shown in the examples, compared with animal protein alone or plant protein alone, when both are mixed and used, the salty taste enhancing action is clearly enhanced despite the same amount as the enzymatic degradation product. Since the effect is obtained by mixing even a little, the ratio of the two is arbitrary, but usually about 1: 10-10: 1 (weight ratio of active ingredient: in the present invention, the amount of sodium chloride was subtracted from the enzyme degradation product Brix. Used as the amount of active ingredient). The ratio is preferably about 1: 5-5: 1, particularly preferably 1: 3-3: 1.

また、上記の方法により得られた動物蛋白質の酵素分解物と植物蛋白質の酵素分解物との混合物である本発明塩味増強剤に、さらに塩基性アミノ酸を添加する。この時、用いる塩基性アミノ酸としては、アルギニン、リジン、オルニチン等が例示され、特にアルギニンが好ましい。アルギニンは市販のもの、あるいは常法により精製されたものを用いることができる。添加する量としては、酵素分解物の有効成分1重量部に対し0.05〜5重量部で添加するのが好ましい。さらに塩化カリウムを組み合わせるのが好ましい。塩化カリウムは市販の物を用いれば良い。添加する量としては、酵素分解物の有効成分1重量部に対し0.1〜10重量部で添加するのが好ましい。   In addition, a basic amino acid is further added to the salty taste enhancer of the present invention which is a mixture of an enzyme degradation product of animal protein and a plant protein degradation product obtained by the above method. In this case, examples of the basic amino acid to be used include arginine, lysine, ornithine, and arginine is particularly preferable. Arginine can be commercially available or purified by a conventional method. The amount to be added is preferably 0.05 to 5 parts by weight with respect to 1 part by weight of the active ingredient of the enzyme degradation product. Furthermore, it is preferable to combine potassium chloride. Commercially available potassium chloride may be used. The amount to be added is preferably 0.1 to 10 parts by weight with respect to 1 part by weight of the active ingredient of the enzyme degradation product.

醤油の味・風味において、そのpHは重要であり、pHが変わると醤油らしさが損なわれる。酵素分解物はほぼ中性付近のpHであるが、塩基性アミノ酸であるアルギニンなどを添加した場合pHがアルカリに傾くため、pHの調節をするのがよい。pHの調整は適当な酸、好ましくはクエン酸、酢酸、乳酸、コハク酸、フマル酸、リン酸、リンゴ酸、塩酸などいずれかの酸を用いて調整すれば良い。調整時期は使用するまでに調節すればよく、原料段階、製造の途中段階、あるいは最終物が得られた後などに行うことができる。通常の醤油のpHは4.5〜5.5付近であるから、およそpH4.0〜7.0の範囲に調節すればよく、好ましくはpH4.0〜6.0程度である。   In the taste and flavor of soy sauce, the pH is important, and when the pH changes, the soy sauce character is impaired. The enzymatic degradation product has a pH of about neutral, but when arginine or the like, which is a basic amino acid, is added, the pH tends to be alkaline, so it is preferable to adjust the pH. The pH may be adjusted using a suitable acid, preferably any acid such as citric acid, acetic acid, lactic acid, succinic acid, fumaric acid, phosphoric acid, malic acid, hydrochloric acid. The adjustment time may be adjusted before use, and can be performed at the raw material stage, the intermediate stage of production, or after the final product is obtained. Since the pH of ordinary soy sauce is around 4.5 to 5.5, it may be adjusted to the range of about pH 4.0 to 7.0, preferably about pH 4.0 to 6.0.

また、このようにして得られた本発明の低食塩醤油又は低食塩醤油調味料を、減塩(塩化ナトリウムの減量)を目的として各種飲食品に添加することにより、醤油由来の食塩量を減らすことができるので、減塩された飲食品を製造することができる。本発明の低食塩醤油又は低食塩醤油調味料はえぐみ、苦味など使用を大きく制限するような味はないので、広い範囲の飲食品に使用できる。飲食品としては、醤油を用いる食品であれば何にでも使用できる。例えば鮭フレーク、辛子明太子、塩タラコ、焼魚、干物、塩辛、魚肉ソーセージ、練製品、煮魚、佃煮、缶詰等の水産加工食品、ポテトチップス、煎餅等の醤油味のスナック菓子、うどんつゆ、そばつゆ、素麺つゆ、ラーメンスープ、ちゃんぽんスープ、パスタソース等の麺類のつゆ、おにぎり、ピラフ、チャーハン、混ぜご飯、雑炊、お茶漬け等の米飯調理品、春巻き、シュウマイ、餃子、煮物、揚げ物等の調理食品、ハンバーグ、ソーセージ、等の畜産加工品、キムチ、漬物等の野菜加工品、ソース、ドレッシング、味噌、マヨネーズ、トマトケチャップ等の調味料、コンソメスープ、お吸い物、味噌汁等のスープ類が挙げられる。
また、本発明の塩味増強剤は、その他公知、市販されている減塩を目的とするための各種添加剤と組み合わせて用いても良い。また、塩化カリウムは濃度が高くなると特有の苦味などの異味を感じることがある。その場合、グルコン酸ナトリウムなどのマスキング剤を併用することにより、解消することができる。グルコン酸ナトリウムの添加量は塩化カリウムなどの使用濃度によって調節すればよいが、0.1〜3重量%程度の使用が適当である。
Moreover, the salt amount derived from soy sauce is reduced by adding the low salt soy sauce or low salt soy sauce seasoning of the present invention thus obtained to various foods and drinks for the purpose of reducing salt (reducing sodium chloride). Therefore, it is possible to produce a salted food or drink. The low salt soy sauce or low salt soy sauce seasoning of the present invention does not have a taste that greatly restricts use such as sashimi and bitterness, and therefore can be used for a wide range of foods and drinks. As food and drink, any food that uses soy sauce can be used. For example, salmon flakes, mentaiko, salted octopus, grilled fish, dried fish, salted fish, sausage, paste products, boiled fish, boiled fish, canned foods, soy sauce-flavored snacks such as potato chips, rice crackers, udon soup, soba soup, Raw noodle soup, ramen soup, champon soup, noodle soup such as pasta sauce, rice ball, pilaf, fried rice, mixed rice, rice cooked food such as rice cooked rice, cooked rice such as spring rolls, shumai, dumplings, boiled food, fried foods, hamburger Processed food products such as sausages, processed vegetables such as kimchi, pickles, seasonings such as sauces, dressings, miso, mayonnaise, tomato ketchup, soups such as consomme soup, soup, miso soup.
Moreover, you may use the salty taste enhancer of this invention in combination with the various other additive for the purpose of the other well-known and marketed salt reduction. In addition, when the concentration of potassium chloride is increased, it may feel a peculiar taste such as peculiar bitterness. In that case, it can be eliminated by using a masking agent such as sodium gluconate in combination. The amount of sodium gluconate added may be adjusted depending on the use concentration of potassium chloride or the like, but the use of about 0.1 to 3% by weight is appropriate.

低食塩醤油あるいは低食塩醤油調味料に、本発明の塩味増強剤を添加する方法としては、単に従来の方法で製造された減塩醤油に添加するだけでよいが、醤油の製造工程中の他の段階で添加してもよい。特に、塩化カリウムはどの段階で添加してもよく、例えば(1)通常の醤油の製造法において仕込み水として塩化カリウムと食塩の混合溶液を用いる、(2)塩化カリウム単独の溶液を仕込み水として用いて得た醤油と、別に食塩水を単独で仕込み水として用いて得た醤油を混合する、(3)食塩水を仕込み水として用いた通常の醤油を電気透析、膜処理等によって食塩を脱塩処理し、この醤油にKClを添加する方法等が挙げられる。ここに用いられる塩化カリウムとしては、通常の塩化カリウム、または塩化カリウム高濃度含有海水塩などが挙げられる。
動物蛋白質の酵素分解物と植物蛋白質の酵素分解物の混合物とアルギニンは、できあがった減塩醤油に添加するのが好ましい。したがって、市販の減塩醤油に動物蛋白質の酵素分解物と植物蛋白質の酵素分解物の混合物、アルギニン及び塩化カリウムを添加することにより容易に本発明品を製造することができる。
動物蛋白質の酵素分解物と植物蛋白質の酵素分解物の混合物は低食塩醤油又は低食塩醤油調味料中に0.5〜20.0重量%含有するように添加するのが好ましく、2.0〜10.0重量%が特に好ましい。塩化カリウムは低食塩醤油又は低食塩醤油調味料中に1.0〜20.0重量%含有するように添加するのが好ましく、3.0〜10.0重量%となる程度添加するのが特に好ましい。塩基性アミノ酸は低食塩醤油又は低食塩醤油調味料中に0.1〜10.0重量%含有するように添加するのが好ましく、0.5〜5.0重量%となる程度添加するのが特に好ましい。
As a method of adding the salty taste enhancer of the present invention to the low salt soy sauce or the low salt soy seasoning, it may be simply added to the low salt soy sauce produced by the conventional method. It may be added at this stage. In particular, potassium chloride may be added at any stage. For example, (1) a mixed solution of potassium chloride and sodium chloride is used as the feed water in a conventional soy sauce production method, and (2) a solution of potassium chloride alone is used as the feed water. The soy sauce obtained by using and mixing the soy sauce obtained using sodium chloride as a separate water separately. (3) Normal soy sauce using saline as the water is removed by electrodialysis, membrane treatment, etc. Examples of the method include salt treatment and adding KCl to the soy sauce. Examples of the potassium chloride used here include normal potassium chloride or sea salt containing high concentration of potassium chloride.
It is preferable to add the mixture of the enzymatic degradation product of animal protein and the enzymatic degradation product of plant protein and arginine to the finished low-salt soy sauce. Therefore, the product of the present invention can be easily produced by adding a mixture of an enzymatic degradation product of animal protein and an enzymatic degradation product of plant protein, arginine and potassium chloride to commercially available reduced salt soy sauce.

本発明の塩味増強剤を用いて、通常の醤油と同程度に塩味を感じる減塩醤油を製造するため、塩化カリウムの濃度を一定にし、実施例12で作製したカツオ煮汁エキス酵素分解物と大豆酵素分解物の濃縮混合調味液とアルギニンの添加量を変化させて、最適な添加濃度について検討した。通常の醤油のままでは官能検査をするのに適さないので、20倍希釈した溶液を調整して、官能検査により対照品と比較した。
表11に示す配合にて、サンプルを調製した。実施例12の濃縮混合調味液由来の塩分量が異なるため、差の分量の食塩を添加し、最終食塩濃度が0.41重量%となるよう調製した。また、アルギニンによるpHの変化はリンゴ酸を添加して、比較対照品と同じpH5.34に調整した。減塩醤油(ヤマサ減塩醤油、本醸造濃口醤油、塩分濃度8.29重量%、KCl濃度0.90重量%ヤマサ醤油株式会社製)を減塩醤油原料として用いた。原料の減塩醤油に食塩8.29重量%を再度添加して通常の醤油程度の食塩濃度に調整したものを比較対照品とした。
Using the salty taste enhancer of the present invention to produce a reduced salt soy sauce that feels as salty as normal soy sauce, the concentration of potassium chloride was kept constant, and the bonito soup extract enzyme-decomposed product and soybean produced in Example 12 The optimum addition concentration was examined by changing the amounts of the concentrated mixed seasoning liquid of enzyme degradation products and arginine. Since ordinary soy sauce is not suitable for the sensory test, a 20-fold diluted solution was prepared and compared with the control product by the sensory test.
Samples were prepared with the formulation shown in Table 11. Since the amount of salt derived from the concentrated mixed seasoning liquid of Example 12 was different, salt of the difference was added to prepare a final salt concentration of 0.41% by weight. Further, the pH change caused by arginine was adjusted to the same pH of 5.34 as that of the comparative control product by adding malic acid. Low-salt soy sauce (Yamasa low-salt soy sauce, main brewing concentrated soy sauce, salinity concentration 8.29 wt%, KCl concentration 0.90 wt% manufactured by Yamasa Soy Sauce Co., Ltd.) was used as a low-salt soy sauce raw material. A comparative control product was prepared by adding 8.29% by weight of salt again to the raw salt-reduced soy sauce and adjusting the salt concentration to the level of ordinary soy sauce.

Figure 0005628499

配合1〜3はいずれも比較対照品と比べて、十分な塩味が感じられバランスのよい味であった。配合4、5は比較対照品と比べて塩味がかなり弱く添加量が不十分であると判断された。配合6〜9では、アルギニンに対して実施例12の濃縮混合調味液の比率を多くしていくと旨味のバランスが強くなりすぎ、醤油本来のバランスと異なる方向に向かうことがわかった。アルギニン1に対して実施例12の濃縮混合調味液は2〜4、特に3前後の比率で添加するのが好ましかった。   In each of Formulations 1 to 3, compared to the comparative control product, a sufficient salty taste was felt and the taste was well balanced. Formulations 4 and 5 were judged to be considerably less salty than the comparative control product, and the addition amount was insufficient. In Formulations 6-9, it was found that when the ratio of the concentrated mixed seasoning liquid of Example 12 was increased with respect to arginine, the balance of umami became too strong and the direction was different from the original balance of soy sauce. It was preferable to add the concentrated mixed seasoning liquid of Example 12 to arginine 1 at a ratio of 2 to 4, particularly around 3.

減塩醤油(ヤマサ減塩醤油、本醸造濃口醤油、塩分濃度8.29重量%、ヤマサ醤油株式会社製)を原料として用いて、本発明の醤油を製造した。
表12に示す配合で減塩醤油に塩化カリウム、実施例12の濃縮混合調味液、アルギニン、リンゴ酸を添加混合した。配合4は減塩醤油に減塩分の食塩を再度添加した配合であり、通常の醤油のかわりに比較する対照品である。
下記の配合の醤油を0.5重量%水溶液にして官能検査を行った。
本発明品である配合1及び配合2は配合4と同程度の塩味を感じたが、配合1ではわずかに塩化カリウムのえぐ味が感じられたので、塩化カリウムの濃度は7重量%以下にするか、7重量%以上使用する場合はえぐ味のマスキング剤を併用することが好ましいことがわかった。また配合3では塩分において物足りなさを感じるものであり、3重量%程度の塩化カリウムの添加は必要であることがわかった。
The soy sauce of this invention was manufactured using the low salt soy sauce (Yamasa low salt soy sauce, this brewing thick soy sauce, the salt concentration of 8.29 weight%, Yamasa Shoyu Co., Ltd. product) as a raw material.
Potassium chloride, the concentrated mixed seasoning liquid of Example 12, arginine, and malic acid were added to and mixed with the reduced salt soy sauce shown in Table 12. Formulation 4 is a formulation in which reduced-salt soy sauce is added again with reduced-salt salt, and is a control product to be compared instead of ordinary soy sauce.
The soy sauce of the following mixing | blending was made into 0.5 weight% aqueous solution, and the sensory test was done.
Formulation 1 and Formulation 2, which are the products of the present invention, felt a saltiness similar to that of Formulation 4. However, in Formulation 1, since the slight taste of potassium chloride was felt, the concentration of potassium chloride should be 7% by weight or less. In addition, it was found that it is preferable to use a masking agent having a savory taste when it is used in an amount of 7% by weight or more. In addition, it was found that formulation 3 felt unsatisfactory in salt content, and it was necessary to add about 3% by weight of potassium chloride.
