Description

本発明は、保存性の向上した乳酸菌を含有する飲料に関する。具体的に本発明は、保存中における乳酸菌数の減少が抑制された乳酸菌を含有する飲料に関する。   The present invention relates to a beverage containing lactic acid bacteria having improved storage stability. Specifically, the present invention relates to a beverage containing lactic acid bacteria in which a decrease in the number of lactic acid bacteria during storage is suppressed.

人類の歴史上、乳酸菌は、ヨーグルトなどの発酵乳製品、各種漬物類、鮒寿司など、多くの加工飲食品において、味や風味の付与、栄養の強化、食品の保存性改善など様々な目的で用いられてきた。また、乳酸菌は、生きた状態で摂取することで、腸内フローラが改善されると同時に、乳酸菌やその産生物質により人体に有用な効能をもたらすことが知られている。   In the history of mankind, lactic acid bacteria are used for various purposes such as fermented dairy products such as yogurt, various pickles, sushi, and other processed foods and beverages, such as imparting taste and flavor, enhancing nutrition, and improving food storage stability. Has been used. In addition, it is known that lactic acid bacteria, when ingested in a living state, improve intestinal flora, and at the same time bring useful effects to the human body by lactic acid bacteria and their products.

しかしながら、乳酸菌を生きた状態で摂取できる飲食品は賞味期限を気にしなければならない場合がある。すなわち、乳酸菌の中には低pHや冷蔵保存の環境下で経時的に生菌数が減少するものがあり、このような乳酸菌を製品に用いると、保存中に生菌数が製品設計上の下限値を下回ってしまう(例えば、乳酸菌飲料の成分規格上必要とされる乳酸菌数が1.0×10/ml未満となる)。前記のような必要以上の乳酸菌生菌数の減少は、飲食品の賞味期限の設定を短縮しなければならない原因となる。 However, foods and drinks that can be ingested with lactic acid bacteria alive may have to worry about the expiration date. In other words, there are some lactic acid bacteria whose viable cell counts decrease over time under low pH or refrigerated storage conditions. When such lactic acid bacteria are used in products, the viable cell counts may be It falls below the lower limit value (for example, the number of lactic acid bacteria required for component specifications of lactic acid bacteria beverages is less than 1.0 × 10 6 / ml). The above-mentioned decrease in the number of viable lactic acid bacteria more than necessary is a cause of having to shorten the setting of the shelf life of food and drink.

かかる問題を解決するために、(1)製造時の乳酸菌生菌数を多くした状態で製品を出荷する方法、(2)保存中に乳酸菌生菌の生残性を向上する方法、のいずれの方法が利用されている。   In order to solve such a problem, any one of (1) a method of shipping a product in a state where the number of viable lactic acid bacteria at the time of production is increased, and (2) a method of improving the viability of the live lactic acid bacteria during storage The method is being used.

これら方法の内、(1)の方法は、生菌数を長期間一定以上に保つことができるが、製造時及び保存初期に乳酸菌による発酵が通常よりも盛んに行われることで、製品の酸味や発酵臭が強まり、結果として製品の賞味期限が短縮される。   Among these methods, the method (1) can keep the number of viable bacteria above a certain level for a long time, but the fermentation of lactic acid bacteria is more active than usual at the time of production and storage, so that the acidity of the product is increased. As a result, the product expiration date is shortened.

一方、(2)の方法では、さらに、(ア)スクリーニング等による生残性の高い乳酸菌の選抜・育種、(イ)共発酵、(ウ)生残性を低下させる因子の除去、(エ)生残性向上物質の添加、などの方法が利用されている。これらのうち、(ア)〜(ウ)の方法は、生菌の生残性向上に高い効果を示すが、利便性が非常に低い。(エ)の方法は、利便性の面で優れており、添加する物質の例として、エリスリトール(特許文献1)、パーオキシダーゼ(特許文献2)、ドロマイト(特許文献3)、ビタミンCおよび/またはビタミンE(特許文献4)、リン酸カルシウム(特許文献5)、リン脂質(特許文献6)、マンガン(特許文献7)、イヌリン(特許文献8)、低分子化処理ガラクトマンナン(特許文献9)など多数が知られている。しかしながら、生残性向上物質の添加による方法では、製品の味質や風味、物性などに影響を与えることもあるので、添加する物質の選択や添加量を慎重に検討しなければならない。   On the other hand, in the method (2), (a) selection and breeding of lactic acid bacteria having high survival by screening and the like, (b) co-fermentation, (c) removal of factors that reduce survival, (d) Methods such as addition of a survival-enhancing substance are used. Among these, the methods (a) to (c) are highly effective in improving the viability of viable bacteria but are very low in convenience. The method (d) is excellent in terms of convenience, and examples of the substance to be added include erythritol (Patent Document 1), peroxidase (Patent Document 2), dolomite (Patent Document 3), vitamin C and / or Vitamin E (patent document 4), calcium phosphate (patent document 5), phospholipid (patent document 6), manganese (patent document 7), inulin (patent document 8), low molecular weight treated galactomannan (patent document 9) and many others It has been known. However, the method of adding a survival-enhancing substance may affect the quality, flavor, and physical properties of the product, so the selection of the substance to be added and the amount to be added must be carefully considered.

また、乳酸菌やビフィズス菌を多く含む発酵乳飲料に、一定量の乳酸カルシウム等のカルシウム塩を添加することで発酵乳飲料の異臭味をマスキングする方法が知られている(特許文献10)。さらに、本発明者らは、乳酸菌を含む飲料に乳酸カルシウムを添加することで乳酸菌の増殖を抑制できることも見出している。
しかしながら、乳酸カルシウムが乳酸菌を含む飲料において乳酸菌数の減少も抑制できることはこれまで知られていなかった。
Moreover, the method of masking the off-flavor of a fermented milk drink is known by adding a fixed quantity of calcium salts, such as calcium lactate, to fermented milk drink which contains many lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria (patent document 10). Furthermore, the present inventors have also found that the growth of lactic acid bacteria can be suppressed by adding calcium lactate to a beverage containing lactic acid bacteria.
However, it has not been known so far that calcium lactate can suppress a decrease in the number of lactic acid bacteria in a beverage containing lactic acid bacteria.

本発明における「乳酸菌を含有する飲料」とは、乳酸菌の生菌数が1.0×10/ml以上である飲料を示し、乳酸菌が生菌状態で含まれているものを示す。したがって、本発明の乳酸菌を含有する飲料には、乳及び乳製品の成分規格等に関する省令(以下、「乳等省令」という)で定められるはっ酵乳及び乳酸菌飲料を当然包含するものである。 The “beverage containing lactic acid bacteria” in the present invention refers to a beverage in which the number of viable bacteria of lactic acid bacteria is 1.0 × 10 6 / ml or more, and indicates that the lactic acid bacteria are contained in a viable state. Therefore, the beverage containing the lactic acid bacteria of the present invention naturally includes fermented milk and lactic acid bacteria beverages defined by a ministerial ordinance concerning the component specifications of milk and dairy products (hereinafter referred to as “Ministerial Ordinance for Milk”).

なお、本発明における乳酸菌を含有する飲料は、乳成分の有無を問わないが、乳成分を配合する場合、牛乳等の生乳、脱脂粉乳、全脂粉乳、調製粉乳、ホエイパウダー、バターミルクパウダー、クリームパウダー、濃縮乳、生クリーム、無糖練乳、加糖全脂練乳、加糖脱脂練乳、バター、脱脂乳などから選択される1又は2以上を配合することができる。   The beverage containing lactic acid bacteria in the present invention may or may not have milk components, but when milk components are blended, raw milk such as milk, skim milk powder, whole milk powder, prepared milk powder, whey powder, butter milk powder, One or more selected from cream powder, concentrated milk, fresh cream, unsweetened condensed milk, sweetened whole fat condensed milk, sweetened defatted condensed milk, butter, nonfat milk and the like can be blended.

本発明においては、乳酸菌を含有する飲料に乳酸カルシウムが含有されていることを特徴とする。乳酸菌を含有する飲料における乳酸カルシウムの含有量としては、0.1〜3.0質量%が例示され、好ましくは0.3〜2.0質量%、さらに好ましくは0.36より大きく2.0質量%以下である。すなわち、乳酸カルシウムが前記の含有量となるように、乳酸菌を含有する飲料の製造工程において乳酸カルシウムを添加する。
なお、乳酸カルシウムの含有量は、0.1質量%未満であると乳酸菌の減少抑制効果が不十分であり、0.3質量%以上であると乳酸菌の減少抑制効果が顕著に発揮される。また、乳酸カルシウムの含有量が3.0質量%を超えると乳酸カルシウム特有の苦味や収斂味が目立ってしまう。
In the present invention, the beverage containing lactic acid bacteria contains calcium lactate. As content of the calcium lactate in the drink containing a lactic acid bacterium, 0.1-3.0 mass% is illustrated, Preferably it is 0.3-2.0 mass%, More preferably, it is larger than 0.36 and 2.0. It is below mass%. That is, calcium lactate is added in the production process of a beverage containing lactic acid bacteria so that the calcium lactate has the above content.
In addition, if the content of calcium lactate is less than 0.1% by mass, the effect of suppressing the decrease of lactic acid bacteria is insufficient, and if it is 0.3% by mass or more, the effect of suppressing the decrease of lactic acid bacteria is remarkably exhibited. On the other hand, when the content of calcium lactate exceeds 3.0% by mass, the bitterness and astringent taste peculiar to calcium lactate become conspicuous.

本発明で使用する乳酸菌については、特に制限はなく、発酵飲食品等に用いられる乳酸菌であればいずれも単独又は混合して使用することができる。その具体例として、ラクトバチルス属(Lactobacillus)、ビフィドバクテリウム属(Bifidobacterium)、エンテロコッカス属(Enterococcus)、ラクトコッカス属(Lactococcus)、ペディオコッカス属(Pediococcus)、リューコノストック属(Leuconostoc)、ウィッセラ属(Weissella)などが挙げられる。
また、本発明で使用する乳酸菌として、好ましくは、10℃以下で生菌数が減少する(静菌状態となる、若しくは死滅する)乳酸菌が挙げられ、例えば、ラクトバチルス・カゼイ(Lactobacillus casei)が挙げられる。

For example, vegetable juice, vegetable paste, fruit juice, fruit paste, grain extract, tea extract, coffee extract, spice extract and other food materials, sweeteners, thickeners, emulsifiers, acidulants, vitamins, fragrances, etc. Food additives.

本発明の乳酸菌を含有する飲料は、これら飲料で通常用いられる方法により製造することができ、一例として、殺菌した乳成分含有培地に乳酸菌スターターを接種・培養し、これに、乳酸カルシウムや各種食品素材及び食品添加物を含有し殺菌したシロップとを混合した後、均質化処理することで得られる。   The beverage containing the lactic acid bacteria of the present invention can be produced by a method usually used in these beverages. As an example, a lactic acid bacteria starter is inoculated and cultured in a sterilized milk component-containing medium. It is obtained by mixing sterilized syrup containing raw materials and food additives and then homogenizing.

本発明の乳酸菌を含有する飲料は、pHを酸性としても乳酸菌生菌数の減少が抑えられるため、酸味料や果汁、野菜汁を含む飲料であっても、冷蔵条件で通常よりも長期間保存可能な生きた乳酸菌を含有する飲料を製造することができる。   Since the beverage containing the lactic acid bacteria of the present invention can suppress the decrease in the number of viable lactic acid bacteria even if the pH is acidic, even beverages containing acidulants, fruit juices, and vegetable juices are stored for a longer period of time than usual under refrigerated conditions. Beverages containing possible live lactic acid bacteria can be produced.

以上のようにして得られた本発明の乳酸菌を含有する飲料は、個別の包装容器に充填することで最終製品が得られ、冷蔵条件で例えば2週間以上の長期間保存したとしても、味質等に大きく影響を及ぼすことなく乳酸菌生菌数の減少が抑えられた飲料を得ることができる。   Even if the beverage containing the lactic acid bacteria of the present invention obtained as described above is filled into individual packaging containers to obtain the final product and stored for a long period of time, such as 2 weeks or longer under refrigerated conditions, Thus, it is possible to obtain a beverage in which a decrease in the number of viable lactic acid bacteria is suppressed without greatly affecting the above.

以下、本発明の内容を実施例、比較例等を用いて具体的に説明するが、本発明はこれらに何ら限定されるものではない。なお、特に記載のない限り「%」とは「質量%」を、「部」は「質量部」をそれぞれ意味するものとする。   Hereinafter, the content of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to Examples and Comparative Examples, but the present invention is not limited to these.

Experimental Example 1: Effect of calcium lactate (Example 1)
A milk medium containing 13.5% nonfat dry milk was prepared and sterilized by heating. Then, a starter solution of Lactobacillus casei and Streptococcus thermophilus was inoculated into the medium and cultured at 30 ° C. for 48 hours to obtain a fermentation broth. On the other hand, calcium lactate was added to a syrup base containing glucose fructose liquid sugar, acidulant, and stabilizer to a final concentration of 0.3%, followed by heat sterilization and cooling. Thereafter, 96.5 parts of the calcium lactate-containing syrup solution base having undergone the above steps and 3.5 parts of the fermentation solution prepared above were mixed and homogenized to obtain 3. A beverage containing 0 × 10 7 / ml was obtained.

(比較例1)
実施例1と同じpHとなるようクエン酸ナトリウムを添加したこと以外、実施例1と同様の原料及び製法により、比較例1の乳酸菌生菌を3.1×10/ml含有する飲料を得た。
(Comparative Example 1)
A beverage containing 3.1 × 10 7 / ml of live lactic acid bacteria of Comparative Example 1 was obtained by the same raw materials and production method as in Example 1 except that sodium citrate was added to the same pH as in Example 1. It was.

実施例1及び比較例1の乳酸菌を含有する飲料について、製造直後のpH及び乳酸菌生菌数を測定し、10℃で1、4、7、14、21及び28日間保存した後のそれぞれの乳酸菌生菌数を測定し、21日間保存後のpHを測定した。その結果を表1(pH)及び図1(乳酸菌生菌数)に示す。   About the drink containing the lactic acid bacteria of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, the pH immediately after production and the number of living lactic acid bacteria were measured, and each lactic acid bacterium after being stored at 10 ° C. for 1, 4, 7, 14, 21, and 28 days The number of viable bacteria was measured, and the pH after storage for 21 days was measured.

(実施例3A〜3D)
脱脂粉乳を10%含む乳培地を調製し加熱殺菌後、下記表3に掲げる乳酸菌のスターター液を該培地に接種し、30℃で48時間培養し、発酵液を得た。一方、ぶどう糖果糖液糖、酸味料、安定剤及び乳酸カルシウムを含むシロップ液ベース95部を調製し、加熱殺菌及び冷却を行った。その後、前記工程を経たシロップ液ベース95部、及び、前記で調製した発酵液5部を混合し、クエン酸ナトリウムによりpHを4.3付近に調整し、均質化処理することにより、実施例3A〜3Dの乳酸菌生菌を含有する飲料を得た。なお、当該飲料における乳酸カルシウム濃度は0.9%である。
Experimental Example 3: Effect of calcium lactate by strain (Examples 3A to 3D)
A milk medium containing 10% skim milk powder was prepared and heat-sterilized, and then the starter solution of lactic acid bacteria listed in Table 3 below was inoculated into the medium and cultured at 30 ° C. for 48 hours to obtain a fermentation broth. On the other hand, 95 parts of a syrup solution base containing glucose fructose liquid sugar, acidulant, stabilizer and calcium lactate was prepared, and heat sterilized and cooled. Thereafter, 95 parts of the syrup base obtained through the above step and 5 parts of the fermented liquid prepared above were mixed, adjusted to a pH of about 4.3 with sodium citrate, and homogenized to give Example 3A. A beverage containing ~ 3D live lactic acid bacteria was obtained. The calcium lactate concentration in the beverage is 0.9%.

(比較例3A〜3D)
乳酸カルシウムを添加しないこと以外、実施例3A〜3Dと同様の原料及び製法により、比較例3A〜3Dの乳酸菌生菌を含有する飲料を得た。
(Comparative Examples 3A to 3D)
Except not adding calcium lactate, the drink containing the lactic-acid-bacteria bacterium of Comparative Examples 3A-3D was obtained by the same raw material and manufacturing method as Example 3A-3D.

実施例3A〜3D及び比較例3A〜3Dの乳酸菌を含有する飲料について、製造直後の乳酸菌生菌数を測定した後、10℃で7、14及び21日間保存した後のそれぞれの乳酸菌生菌数を測定した。その結果を図3〜6に示す。
なお、ラクトバチルス・カゼイNYC13株は特許出願人が保有している菌株であり、他のJCM株は全て独立行政法人理化学研究所より入手した。

For beverages containing the lactic acid bacteria of Examples 3A to 3D and Comparative Examples 3A to 3D, the number of living lactic acid bacteria immediately after production was measured, and then the number of living lactic acid bacteria after storage at 10 ° C. for 7, 14 and 21 days Was measured. The results are shown in FIGS.
The Lactobacillus casei NYC13 strain is a strain owned by the patent applicant, and all other JCM strains were obtained from RIKEN.
