  Furthermore, an object of the present invention is to provide a butter suitable for scorching butter while containing a large amount of non-fat milk solids.

  In the present invention, basically, raw material milk (milk) is filtered to obtain whole fat concentrated milk, or skim concentrated milk or skim milk powder is added to raw material milk to obtain whole fat concentrated milk. By using a cream obtained by centrifuging fat-concentrated milk, it is based on the knowledge that a refreshing butter excellent in flavor can be obtained at most for non-fat milk solid milk.

  The 1st side surface of this invention is related with the manufacturing method of the butter | batter which contains non-fat milk solid content in 2 to 10 weight%. This method includes a filtration step, a centrifugation step, and a kneading step.

  A filtration process is a process for obtaining concentrated milk by filtration by filtering raw material milk. The centrifugation step is a step for centrifuging the concentrated milk to obtain a cream. The kneading step is a step for kneading cream to obtain butter.

As explained earlier, butter can be obtained by agglomerating fat globule crystals to obtain butter grains and kneading them to obtain butter. For this reason, raw milk is usually used as the raw material milk for the cream. At this time, it is difficult to obtain fat globules and fat globules crystals if homogenized raw milk such as commercially available milk is used. The present invention dares to increase the solid content of non-fat milk by using full-fat concentrated milk obtained by filtration, or full-fat concentrated milk obtained by adding defatted concentrated milk or defatted powdered milk to raw material milk. Both were able to obtain a refreshing butter with excellent flavor.

  In a preferred embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention, the raw milk is a whole fat concentrated milk obtained by adding either or both of the first skimmed concentrated milk and the first skimmed milk powder to raw milk.

  By filtering using raw milk with increased solid content of non-fat milk, it is possible to obtain butter that is particularly excellent for baked goods and butter sauce.

However, it is a step of adding either or both of the second skimmed concentrated milk and the second skimmed milk powder to the cream.

  When kneading, use a cream to which skim-concentrated milk or skim milk powder is added, or knead while adding skim-concentrated milk or skim milk powder to the cream. Excellent butter can be obtained.

  The 2nd side surface of this invention is related with the manufacturing method of the butter | batter which contains non-fat milk solid content in 2 to 10 weight%. And this manufacturing method includes the whole fat concentrated milk acquisition process, the centrifugation process, and the kneading | mixing process.

  The step for obtaining full-fat concentrated milk is a step for obtaining full-fat concentrated milk by adding either or both of the first skimmed concentrated milk and the first skimmed milk powder to the raw milk, or by freeze-concentrating the raw milk. It is. The centrifugal separation step and the kneading step are the same as the first aspect.

  In a preferred embodiment of the second aspect of the present invention, in the kneading step, either or both of the second nonfat concentrated milk and the second nonfat dry milk are kneaded with the cream, or the cream is kneaded. However, it is a step of adding either or both of the second nonfat concentrated milk and the second nonfat dry milk to the cream.

  When kneading, use a cream to which defatted concentrated milk or defatted powdered milk is added, or knead while adding defatted concentrated milk or defatted powdered milk to the cream. Can be obtained.

  The 3rd side surface of this invention is related with the manufacturing method of the butter which contains the non-fat milk solid content in 2 to 10 weight% including the kneading | mixing process which knead | mixes cream and obtains butter. In the kneading step, either or both of the nonfat concentrated milk and the nonfat dry milk are mixed with the cream, or either or both of the nonfat concentrated milk and the nonfat dry milk are mixed while kneading the cream. This is the process of adding to the cream.

  The 4th side surface of this invention is related with the butter | batter excellent in flavor, including many non-fat milk solid content. This butter is a butter obtained by any one of the manufacturing methods described above. And the example of the component of the butter contains 80 to 93% by weight of fat, 5 to 17% by weight of moisture, and 2 to 10% by weight of nonfat milk solids. Normal butter has a non-fat milk solid content of about 1.2% by weight. And as patent document 1 shows, even if non-fat milk solid content increases only by 0.3 weight%, the flavor as a butter is lost. Even if there is much non-fat milk solid content, this invention can obtain the butter | batter excellent in flavor by employ | adopting the manufacturing method demonstrated previously.

  Therefore, according to the present invention, fat-free milk is obtained by using whole-fat concentrated milk obtained by filtration and whole-fat concentrated milk obtained by adding fat-concentrated milk or skim milk powder to raw material milk. Although it contains a lot of solids, it can provide refreshing butter with excellent flavor.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, the non-fat milk solid content is 2% by weight or more and 10% by weight or less (for example, 2% by weight or more and 9% by weight or less, 2% by weight or more and 6% by weight or less, 2% by weight or more and 3% by weight). % Or less, 3% to 5% by weight, 5% to 9% by weight). This method includes a filtration step, a centrifugation step, and a kneading step.

  The general method for producing butter is already known. In the present invention, butter can be produced by appropriately adopting conditions known to those skilled in the art using an already-known apparatus for producing butter. Hereinafter, a method for producing butter will be described. However, the present invention is not limited to the following examples, and includes those appropriately modified within the scope obvious to those skilled in the art from the examples described below.

  Butter is generally a dairy product made by pressing fat grains from raw milk, milk or special milk. There are two types of butter: fermented butter (acid cream butter) for lactic fermentation of raw milk and non-fermented butter (sweet cream butter) for which raw milk is not fermented. The butter of the present invention may be either fermented butter or non-fermented butter. Furthermore, there are salted butter to which salt is added and salt-free (salt-free) butter to which salt is not added. The butter of the present invention may be a salted butter or an unsalted butter.

  A filtration process is a process for obtaining concentrated milk by filtration by filtering raw material milk. The non-fat milk solid content concentration can be appropriately adjusted by appropriately adjusting the filtration conditions. Furthermore, the concentration of miscellaneous components and salts can be adjusted by adjusting the filtration conditions. Adjusting the concentration of miscellaneous components and salts will finely adjust the flavor of the butter obtained. It is preferable to concentrate the non-fat milk solid content concentration of the concentrated milk by 1.5 to 2.5 times (for example, about 2 times) that of the raw milk by the filtration step. By performing such a concentration treatment, although the operation of the butter production process increases, butter with excellent flavor can be obtained while increasing the non-fat milk solid content concentration. At this time, when concentrated milk by filtration is mainly added, the water content of the butter is 10% to 15% by weight (for example, 13% by weight), and the actually obtained butter (non-salt) non-fat milk solid content For example, 2 wt% or more and 4 wt% or less, preferably 2 wt% or more and 3.5 wt% or less, more preferably 2 wt% or more and 3 wt% or less.

  In the filtration, the treatment temperature may be, for example, 1 ° C. or more and 30 ° C. or less, and more preferably 1 ° C. or more and 10 ° C. or less from the viewpoint of suppressing bacterial growth. During filtration, the treatment conditions may be under negative pressure or under pressure. And when filtration is performed under pressure, the treatment pressure may be, for example, 1 MPa or more and 5 MPa or less, and if it is 1 MPa or more and 3 MPa or less from the viewpoint of suppressing clogging of the filtration membrane and increasing the filtration rate. good.

  Raw milk may be raw milk or milk that has not been homogenized. The raw milk may be whole fat concentrated milk obtained by adding one or both of the first skimmed concentrated milk and the first skimmed milk powder to raw milk. Full-fat concentrated milk is milk with an increased solid content compared to raw milk and the like, and contains a large amount of non-fat milk solids.

  In the filtration step, one or a combination of two or more of reverse osmosis (RO) filtration, nanofiltration (NF) method, and diafiltration (DF) method can be used. In the present invention, those using nanofiltration or diafiltration are preferred, and those using diafiltration are more preferred. By adopting these methods, miscellaneous components and salts are removed, and the resulting butter flavor is improved. In the filtration step, it is preferable to reduce the sodium salt or potassium salt without impairing the calcium salt. After the filtration step, the residual ratio of calcium salt is preferably 80% by weight or more, more preferably 90% by weight or more, and still more preferably 95% by weight or more. By reducing these salts, crystallization of butter can be promoted, so that the production of butter can be promoted even after the raw material milk is homogenized after filtration.

  Reverse osmosis (RO) filtration is a method of filtration using a reverse osmosis membrane (RO membrane) and utilizing osmotic pressure. The RO membrane is a separation membrane that mainly transmits water. Examples of the material of the RO membrane include polyamide. Examples of the RO membrane include a flat membrane, a spiral membrane, and a plate-like membrane.

  Nanofiltration (NF) uses a nanofiltration membrane (NF membrane: for example, a membrane-like filter having nano-sized through-holes (pore size: 0.5 to 2 nm, etc.)), and uses osmotic pressure to perform filtration. It is a method to do. The NF membrane is a separation membrane that mainly transmits monovalent ions and water. In the present invention, for example, monovalent ions (sodium ions, potassium ions, chloride ions), urea, lactic acid and the like can be reduced. For this reason, the desalting process which reduces sodium and potassium can be performed by using nanofiltration. In nanofiltration, known conditions of a known method can be employed.

  Examples of the material for the NF film include polyamide, cellulose acetate, polyethersulfone, polyester, polyimide, vinyl polymer, polyolefin, polysulfone, regenerated cellulose, and polycarbonate. In the present invention, polyamide, cellulose acetate, and polyethersulfone are preferable as materials for the NF membrane in order to reduce salts efficiently. Specifically, NF45 (trade name “NF-3838 / 30- FF ") is more preferred. Examples of the shape of the NF film include a flat film, a spiral film, and a plate film. Examples of handling of the filtration pressure include a pressure filtration method and a vacuum filtration method. There are two methods for handling the processing solution for filtration: dead-end filtration and cross-flow filtration. Here, from the viewpoint of suppressing the clogging of the filtration membrane and increasing the filtration rate, it is preferable to use the cross-flow filtration method commercially, whereby the components of concentrated milk prepared from the raw material milk, etc. The quality of butter can be kept constant by suppressing variations.

  And by this nanofiltration, a retentate (retentate) and a permeate (permeate) will be obtained from raw material milk. By changing the degree of pressurization or depressurization according to the NF membrane actually used, the ratio of the retentate amount to the permeate amount changes. In the retentate (NF concentrated milk) obtained by nanofiltration, the total solid content (TS: total-solids) of the raw milk is usually 1.5 to 2.5 times, preferably 1.6 to 2.2 times. , More preferably 1.7 to 2.1 times, still more preferably 1.8 to 2 times (for example, about 2 times). Specifically, the total solid content of the concentrated milk is, for example, 19% by weight to 33% by weight, preferably 20% by weight to 29% by weight, more preferably 22% by weight to 28% by weight, and still more preferably 23% by weight. % To 26% by weight (for example, about 26% by weight).

  The retentate obtained by nanofiltration contains milk fat (FAT), the main non-fat milk solids (SNF) protein and lactose in the total solids (TS) of raw milk, vitamins And some of the salts are concentrated. Here, in this specification, the concentrated milk obtained by nanofiltration is also called nanofiltration concentrated milk. The permeate obtained by nanofiltration contains much of the water content of raw milk and some water-soluble vitamins and salts (especially monovalent ions), while the total solid content of raw milk is It is almost not included. Here, vitamins and salts are vitamins A, B1, B2, niacin, etc., sodium (Na), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), chlorine (Cl), phosphorus (P). It is a general term for inorganic substances such as.

  It is a preferred embodiment of the present invention to add an electrolyte that does not permeate the NF membrane to the raw milk before nanofiltration. Desalination may be promoted by adding an electrolyte that does not permeate the NF membrane. Examples of the electrolyte that does not permeate the NF membrane include milk fat, milk casein, whey protein, lactose, vitamins, and salts.

  Dialysis filtration (DF) is performed by adding water to diluted milk (retained liquid) that has been filtered and concentrated, and returning the amount of milk (retained liquid amount) close to the amount of milk before filtration. , Further filtering. In the present invention, as diafiltration, for example, a concentrated milk obtained by nanofiltration (nanofiltered concentrated milk) is diluted with water after addition, and then nanofiltration is performed.

  The centrifugation step is a step for centrifuging the concentrated milk or diluting the concentrated milk by adding water and then centrifuging to obtain a cream. In the centrifugation step, the concentrated milk is usually centrifuged using a centrifuge and separated into cream and skim milk. Cream contains a lot of milk fat and skim milk contains little milk fat. The centrifuge may be a known one, and the conditions for the centrifugation can be appropriately selected from known conditions in the production of cream, skimmed milk powder and the like.

  However, in the present invention, the concentrated milk to be centrifuged contains a larger amount of non-fat milk solids than the conventional raw milk that is centrifuged to cream and skim milk, so that there are some processing conditions for centrifugation. May be different. Specifically, if the concentrated milk to be centrifuged contains a large amount of nonfat milk solids, the cream and skim milk can be easily separated if the specific gravity difference between the cream and skim milk increases. In the centrifugation, the treatment temperature may be, for example, 30 ° C. or more and 80 ° C. or less, more preferably 35 ° C. or more and 70 ° C. or less from the viewpoint of the flavor of cream or butter, and 40 ° C. or more and 60 ° C. The following are particularly good.

  The kneading step is a step for kneading cream to obtain butter. In the kneading step, the cream is usually kneaded using a kneader and separated into butter and buttermilk. The kneading machine may be a known one, and the kneading process conditions may be appropriately selected from known conditions in the production of butter.

  However, in the present invention, compared to the conventional cream separated into butter and buttermilk, the kneaded cream contains a larger amount of non-fat milk solids, so the processing conditions for kneading may be somewhat different. . Specifically, when the cream to be kneaded contains a large amount of non-fat milk solid content, if the specific gravity difference between butter and buttermilk increases, it becomes easier to separate butter and buttermilk. When kneading, the treatment temperature may be, for example, 30 ° C. or more and 50 ° C. or less, and more preferably 35 ° C. or more and 45 ° C. or less from the viewpoint of butter flavor.

  In the kneading step, one or both of skim concentrated milk and skim milk powder mixed with cream may be kneaded. Moreover, in a kneading | mixing process, you may add either or both of skim condensed milk and skim milk powder to a cream, kneading cream. The amount of non-fat concentrated milk and non-fat dry milk added is 2% to 10% by weight (eg, 2% to 9% by weight, 2% to 6% by weight). In the following, it may be adjusted to be 2 to 3% by weight, or 3 to 5% by weight, 5 to 9% by weight). At this time, when the nonfat concentrated milk is mainly added, the water content of the butter is set to 10% by weight to 15% by weight (for example, 13% by weight), and the actually obtained butter (non-salt) nonfat milk solid content is obtained. For example, it can be 2.5 wt% or more and 5 wt% or less, preferably 3 wt% or more and 5 wt% or less, more preferably 3 wt% or more and 4 wt% or less. And when skim milk powder is mainly added, the water content of butter is 10 wt% or more and 15 wt% or less (for example, 13 wt%), and the nonfat milk solid content of butter (salt-free) actually obtained is, for example, It can be 4 to 10% by weight, preferably 5 to 9% by weight, more preferably 4 to 8% by weight.

  The method for producing butter of the present invention may appropriately include known steps relating to the production of butter. Such processes include, for example, a raw milk fermentation process, a cream / butter / fermented milk mixing process, a sterilization process, a cooling process, and a packaging process.

  In the second aspect of the present invention, the non-fat milk solid content is 2% by weight or more and 10% by weight or less (eg, 2% by weight or more and 9% by weight or less, 2% by weight or more and 6% by weight or less, 2% by weight or more and 3% by weight). % Or less, 3% to 5% by weight, 5% to 9% by weight). And this manufacturing method includes the whole fat concentrated milk acquisition process, the centrifugation process, and the kneading | mixing process.

  The step for obtaining full-fat concentrated milk is a step for obtaining full-fat concentrated milk by adding either or both of the first skimmed concentrated milk and the first skimmed milk powder to the raw milk, or by freeze-concentrating the raw milk. It is. The centrifugal separation step and the kneading step are the same as the first aspect.

  Full-fat concentrated milk is milk with an increased solid content compared to raw milk and the like, and contains a large amount of non-fat milk solids. The amount of skim-concentrated milk and skim milk powder added to the raw material milk is 2% to 10% by weight (for example, 2% to 6% by weight, 2% by weight). It may be adjusted to be 3 wt% or less, or 3 wt% or more and 5 wt% or less. On the other hand, methods for freezing and concentrating raw milk are known. That is, it is possible to increase the solid content of non-fat milk by freezing raw material milk and reducing moisture using a known refrigeration facility. Moreover, when freezing raw material milk, the non-fat milk solid content density | concentration can be raised by isolate | separating the part with a high non-fat milk solid content density | concentration using the solidification temperature different for every component.

  The 3rd side surface of this invention is related with the manufacturing method of the butter which contains the non-fat milk solid content in 2 to 10 weight% including the kneading | mixing process which knead | mixes cream and obtains butter. In the kneading step, either or both of the nonfat concentrated milk and the nonfat dry milk are mixed with the cream, or either or both of the nonfat concentrated milk and the nonfat dry milk are mixed while kneading the cream. This is the process of adding to the cream.

  The manufacturing method of this aspect can employ | adopt suitably the conditions demonstrated previously.

  The 4th side surface of this invention is related with the butter | batter excellent in flavor, including many non-fat milk solid content. This butter is a butter obtained by any one of the manufacturing methods described above. The butter components are fat content of 80% to 93% by weight, water content of 5% to 17% by weight, and nonfat milk solid content of 2% to 10% by weight (for example, 2% by weight). % To 6% by weight, 2% to 3% by weight, or 3% to 5% by weight). In addition, when the nonfat milk solid content concentration is increased mainly only by filtration, the obtained nonfat milk solid content of the butter is, for example, 2% to 3.6% by weight (preferably 2% to 3% by weight). % Or less). When nonfat concentrated milk is mainly added in addition to the filtration treatment, the water content of the butter is set to 10% by weight to 15% by weight (for example, 13% by weight), and the resulting nonfat milk solid content of the butter is, for example, 2 And 5 wt% or less and 5 wt% or less (preferably 3 wt% or more and 4 wt% or less). When non-fat dry milk is mainly added in addition to the filtration treatment, the water content of the butter is set to 10% by weight to 15% by weight (for example, 13% by weight), and the non-fat milk solid content of the resulting butter is, for example, 4% by weight. % To 10% by weight (preferably 6% to 9% by weight).

  A general cream (fat content 45% by weight) was prepared from whole fat milk (solid content 13% by weight). When this cream was kneaded with a butter making machine, salted butter was produced in accordance with other conventional production methods while adding (blending) nonfat concentrated milk (solid content 33% by weight) during kneading ( Deconcentrated compound). The composition of the deconcentrated blend was 80.8% by weight of milk fat, 2.9% by weight of nonfat milk solids, and 1.5% by weight of salt. (Sample 2)

  Full fat milk (solid content 13% by weight) was concentrated to 26% by weight using a nanofiltration (NF) method to obtain full fat concentrated milk (NF full fat concentrated milk). As the NF film, NF-3838 / 30-FF (NF45) manufactured by Dow Chemical Company was used. The NF whole fat concentrated milk was centrifuged and sterilized according to a conventional method to obtain a cream (fat content 45% by weight) (NF cream). Salted butter was produced from this NF cream according to a conventional method (NF-filtered product). The composition of the NF filtered product was 82.5% by weight of milk fat, 2.4% by weight of nonfat milk solids, and 1.5% by weight of salt. (Sample 3)

When kneading the NF cream obtained in the same manner as in Example 2 with a butter making machine, while adding kneaded skim milk (solid content 33% by weight) during kneading, other production methods are ordinary methods. According to the above, salted butter was produced (NF filtration / deconcentration blend). The composition of the NF filtration / deconcentration blended product was 80.8% by weight of milk fat, 3.8% by weight of nonfat milk solids, and 1.5% by weight of salt. (Sample 4)
