Description

  The present invention relates to an emulsion composition for foods and drinks manufactured using dairy products such as fresh cheese.

  A technology using an emulsion composition for beverages using a dairy product having cost merit in place of conventionally used milk is known in food and drink products, particularly milk beverages having a large market for taste beverages.

  For example, an emulsified composition having improved dispersibility and emulsion stability using organic acid monoglyceride, an emulsifier of HLB 10 or higher, and sodium caseinate for a fresh cheese with a high milk fat content (Patent Document 1), An emulsified composition having excellent emulsification stability even if the use ratio of fresh cheese to water in the composition is high by combining the emulsifier with high HLB and the emulsifier with low HLB, and making the use ratio of the former higher than the latter. (Patent Document 2), a first step composed of an emulsifier of HLB 8-14, fresh cheese and water, the emulsifier being dispersed in water to form vesicles having an average particle diameter of 10 to 600 nm, and the first step Fresh cheese prepared from the second step of adding and emulsifying fresh cheese to the emulsifier-dispersed aqueous solution prepared by the step Higher concentrations, preferably used at a concentration of 50% or more, good flavor and excellent storage stability cheese emulsion (Patent Document 3), and the like.

  In any composition, the fresh cheese to be used is not particularly limited. For example, in Patent Document 2, the milk solids content is 45 wt% or more of fresh cheese, and the animal-derived milk is used as a raw material. Although it will not be limited if it is a non-ripe molded cheese, it is said that cream cheese with little influence of the flavor to food / beverage products is used suitably, and in patent document 3, what will be conventionally well-known? In order to maintain a stable cream state and impart a good milk flavor, fresh cheese with a high milk fat content is better because cream cheese is preferred, and the milk fat content is It is preferably 35 to 65%, and more preferably 40 to 60%.

  However, although these conventional emulsified compositions are certainly excellent in emulsification stability, when actually used in milk beverages, especially when used at high concentrations, or when the amount of coffee is large, vending machines for milk beverages When it is stored at a high temperature, such as PET and warmer, the cheese-like flavor is affected and it has a different flavor from conventional dairy products. Therefore, it is difficult to reproduce the same taste quality when replacing conventional dairy products. there were.

Preferably, it is 0.25 or less, more preferably 0.24 or less, and most preferably 0.23 or less, because the influence on the flavor of food and drink is small. Moreover, the lower limit is usually 0.15, and if the lower limit is not reached, it is difficult to produce fresh cheese itself or the cost tends to increase. In addition, non-fat milk solid content here means the value which deducted milk fat content from the above-mentioned total solid content.

  Further, the MFFB% of the fresh cheese used in the present invention is usually preferably 70% by weight or more, more preferably 73% by weight or more, further preferably 74% by weight or more, and most preferably 76% by weight or more. If MFFB% is equal to or more than the above lower limit, it is preferable because the influence on the flavor of food and drink is small. On the other hand, the upper limit of MFFB% is usually 97% by weight, and if this upper limit is exceeded, it is difficult to produce fresh cheese itself or the cost tends to increase. In addition, MFFB% is the percentage of the value calculated | required by (water content) / (total weight-milk fat content) as above-mentioned.

  The FDB% of fresh cheese used in the present invention is usually preferably 80% by weight or more, more preferably 81% by weight or more, and most preferably 82% by weight or more. If FDB% is more than the said minimum, since there is little influence on the flavor of food-drinks, it is suitable. On the other hand, the upper limit of FDB% is usually 99% by weight, and if this upper limit is exceeded, it is difficult to produce fresh cheese itself or the cost tends to increase. In addition, FDB% is a percentage of the value calculated | required by (milk fat content) / (total weight-water content) (= milk fat content / total solid content) as above-mentioned.

  As a raw material of fresh cheese, any of milk, buttermilk, or cream may be used alone or in combination, more preferably milk alone or a combination of milk and buttermilk or cream is particularly preferable. The combination of milk and cream is preferred because it has little effect on the flavor of food and drink.
