Description

本発明は、植物油脂を含有する飲食品において生じる、植物油脂の持つ油っぽさやクセ(特有の風味)を低減することにより風味を改善する方法、当該方法により植物油脂含有飲食品を製造する方法、並びに当該方法を用いて得られた嗜好性飲料及びインスタント嗜好性飲料用組成物に関する。   The present invention is a method for improving flavor by reducing the oiliness and habit (specific flavor) of vegetable fats and oils produced in foods and beverages containing vegetable fats and oils, and producing a vegetable fat and oil-containing food product by the method. The present invention relates to a method, and a palatable beverage and an instant palatability beverage composition obtained by using the method.

一般的に乳風味や 乳の食感を付与するため、 生乳やクリーム、クリームチーズ、 バターなどの乳製品が使用される。しかし、これらの材料はコストが高く、その配合量が制限されてしまうという問題がある。   Generally, dairy products such as raw milk, cream, cream cheese and butter are used in order to impart a milk flavor and a texture of milk. However, these materials have a problem that the cost is high and the compounding amount is limited.

この問題を解決するために、乳脂肪分の一部又は全部を植物油脂で代替する方法が汎用されている。乳脂肪分に代えて植物油脂を用いることにより、より低コストで、乳風味の飲食品を製造することが可能になる。しかし、乳脂肪分に代えて植物油脂を用いることにより、コスト低減等の利点はあるが、植物油脂自体の風味(油っぽさやクセ)が付与されてしまう欠点もある。   In order to solve this problem, a method of substituting part or all of the milk fat content with vegetable oil is widely used. By using vegetable oils and fats instead of milk fat, it becomes possible to manufacture milk-flavored foods and drinks at a lower cost. However, by using vegetable oils and fats instead of milk fat, there are advantages such as cost reduction, but there is also a drawback that the flavor (oiliness and habit) of the vegetable oils and fats themselves is imparted.

特許文献1には、加熱殺菌して調製される容器詰めのコーヒーの製造に際して、飲料中に、乳脂肪1重量当たり植物油脂を0.15〜2の割合で配合することにより、飲用後の不快な残り香や後味を改善する方法が開示されている。しかし、当該方法では、植物油脂の配合量によってはコーヒー等の素材の本来の好ましい風味がマスキングされてしまう場合や、乳様の食感が得られない場合がある。このため、乳様の食感及び風味を付与しながら、コーヒー等の素材の本来の風味がマスキングされることのない、最適な植物油脂の配合量については、明確ではない。   In patent document 1, in the production of container-packed coffee prepared by heat sterilization, vegetable oils and fats are blended in the beverage at a ratio of 0.15 to 2 per 1 weight of milk fat, so that unpleasantness after drinking A method for improving the residual odor and aftertaste is disclosed. However, according to the method, the original desirable flavor of the material such as coffee may be masked or the milky texture may not be obtained depending on the blending amount of the vegetable oil. Therefore, it is not clear about the optimum blending amount of vegetable fats and oils that imparts a milky texture and flavor while not masking the original flavor of materials such as coffee.

特許文献2には、植物油脂及びカゼインを特定の配合量及び配合比率にすることにより、乳様の好ましい食感及び風味を有していながらも、コーヒーや紅茶などの素材の本来の風味がマスキングされることなく際立っている飲料が開示されている。しかしながら、当該飲料において配合される植物油脂の含有量は0.5〜2.0重量%であるが、植物油脂の含有量が2.0重量%より高いと、植物油脂自体の風味が強くなり飲料のコーヒー等の素材の風味がマスキングされ、素材本来の好ましい風味が損なわれてしまう。このため、使用する植物油脂の含有量は制限されている。   Patent Document 2 discloses that a vegetable oil and casein have a specific blending amount and blending ratio so that the original flavor of a material such as coffee or tea is masked while having a milky preferable texture and flavor. Beverages that stand out without being disclosed are disclosed. However, the content of the vegetable oil / fat blended in the beverage is 0.5 to 2.0% by weight, but if the content of the vegetable oil / fat is higher than 2.0% by weight, the flavor of the vegetable oil / fat itself becomes strong. The flavor of the material such as coffee in the beverage is masked, and the original desirable flavor of the material is impaired. For this reason, the content of vegetable oil used is limited.

一方、これまでに、飲食物の風味向上や改善などの課題に対し、様々な成分を配合することによる解決策が提案されている。例えば、特許文献3には、乳清ミネラルの添加によるカゼインナトリウム類のカゼイン臭の低減方法が開示されている。特許文献4には、スクラロースを有効成分として、米粉、小麦粉、そば粉、トウモロコシ粉等の穀物粉の粉臭さをマスキングするマスキング剤が開示されている。特許文献5には、セスキテルペンを含有する柑橘類由来の抽出物を有効成分として、豆乳臭をマスキングするための組成物が開示されている。特許文献6には、エステル、テルペン、アルコール等を有効成分として魚類抽出物に規定量含有させることにより、魚類抽出物特有の魚臭さをマスキングした液体食品組成物が開示されている。   On the other hand, to date, solutions to the problems such as improving the flavor of foods and drinks by incorporating various components have been proposed. For example, Patent Document 3 discloses a method for reducing the casein odor of sodium caseinates by adding whey minerals. Patent Document 4 discloses a masking agent which uses sucralose as an active ingredient and masks the powdery odor of grain flour such as rice flour, wheat flour, buckwheat flour, and corn flour. Patent Document 5 discloses a composition for masking the soymilk odor using an extract derived from citrus fruits containing sesquiterpene as an active ingredient. Patent Document 6 discloses a liquid food composition in which a fish odor peculiar to a fish extract is masked by containing a predetermined amount of an ester, a terpene, alcohol or the like in a fish extract as an active ingredient.

特許文献3〜6で開示されているように、マスキング効果を有する成分を飲食品に添加することにより、特有の臭みや苦み、渋みといった風味の改善に関する報告はあるが、植物油脂を乳脂肪の代替として使用した飲食品において、その使用量や使用比率を制限することなく、かつコーヒーや紅茶などの素材の風味を維持しつつ、植物油脂自体の風味(油っぽさ、クセ)を抑制する方法はこれまでに無い。   As disclosed in Patent Documents 3 to 6, by adding a component having a masking effect to foods and drinks, there is a report on the improvement of flavors such as peculiar odor, bitterness, and astringency. In foods and drinks used as alternatives, the flavor (greasiness, habit) of the vegetable fats and oils themselves is suppressed without limiting the amount or ratio of use and maintaining the flavor of ingredients such as coffee and tea. There is no method so far.

本発明は、植物油脂を用いた時に生じる、植物油脂自体の風味(油っぽさやクセ)を低減し、それを含む飲食品における全体的な風味を改善する方法、当該方法により植物油脂含有飲食品を製造する方法、並びに当該方法を用いて得られた嗜好性飲料及びインスタント嗜好性飲料用組成物を提供することを目的とする。   The present invention reduces the flavor (oiliness or habit) of the vegetable oil or fat itself, which occurs when using vegetable oil or fat, and a method for improving the overall flavor of food or drink containing the same, or a vegetable oil or fat-containing food or beverage by the method. An object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a product, and a palatable beverage and a composition for an instant palatability beverage obtained by using the method.

本発明者らは、上記課題を解決すべく鋭意研究した結果、植物油脂を含有する飲食品に対して、テルペン類を添加することにより、植物油脂の持つ油っぽさやクセを低減し得ることを見出し、本発明を完成させた。   As a result of intensive studies to solve the above problems, the present inventors have found that, for foods and drinks containing vegetable oils and fats, by adding terpenes, it is possible to reduce the oiliness and habit of vegetable oils and fats. Then, the present invention has been completed.

<Method for improving flavor of food and drink containing vegetable oil and fat, and method for producing food and drink containing vegetable oil and fat>
The flavor improving method for a vegetable oil / fat-containing food or drink according to the present invention (hereinafter, “flavor improving method according to the present invention”) is characterized in that the food / fat containing a vegetable oil or fat is allowed to contain terpenes. By blending terpenes with vegetable oils and fats, the oiliness and habit of vegetable oils and fats are reduced, and the flavor of foods and drinks is improved. It is not clear why terpenes reduce the oiliness and habit of vegetable oils and fats, but it is speculated that the unique flavor of terpenes may mask the oilyness and habits of vegetable oils and fats. .

本発明に係る風味改善方法において、改善対象となる飲食品(植物油脂含有飲食品)が含有する植物油脂としては、食用油であれば特に限定されず、天然油であってもよく、加工油であってもよく、合成油であってもよく、クリーミングパウダー(クリームの代用として、紅茶、コーヒー等の嗜好性飲料に添加される粉末)のような複合体であってもよい。当該食用油としては、例えば、パーム油、パーム核油、ヤシ油(ココナッツオイル)、硬化ヤシ油、菜種油(キャノーラ油)、コーン油、大豆油、こめ油、サフラワー油(ベニバナ油)、綿実油、ひまわり油、中鎖脂肪酸トリグリセリド等が挙げられる。これらの植物油脂のうち、特にパーム油、パーム核油、ヤシ油、硬化ヤシ油、菜種油、又は中鎖脂肪酸トリグリセリドが好ましく用いられる。また、植物油脂含有飲食品が含有する植物油脂としては、一種類のみであってもよく、二種類以上が混合されていてもよい。   In the flavor improving method according to the present invention, the vegetable oil / fat contained in the food / beverage product to be improved (vegetable oil / fat-containing food / beverage) is not particularly limited as long as it is an edible oil, and may be a natural oil or a processed oil. Or a synthetic oil, or a complex such as a creaming powder (a powder added to palatability drinks such as tea and coffee as a substitute for cream). Examples of the edible oil include palm oil, palm kernel oil, coconut oil (coconut oil), hydrogenated coconut oil, rapeseed oil (canola oil), corn oil, soybean oil, rice oil, safflower oil (safflower oil), cottonseed oil , Sunflower oil, medium chain fatty acid triglyceride and the like. Among these vegetable oils and fats, palm oil, palm kernel oil, coconut oil, hydrogenated coconut oil, rapeseed oil, and medium chain fatty acid triglyceride are particularly preferably used. Moreover, as the vegetable oil and fat contained in the vegetable oil and fat-containing food and drink, only one kind may be used, or two or more kinds may be mixed.

クリーミングパウダーは、ヤシ油、パーム油、パーム核油、大豆油、コーン油、綿実油、ナタネ油、乳脂、牛脂、豚脂等の食用油脂;シヨ糖、グルコース、澱粉加水分解物等の糖質;カゼインナトリウム、第二リン酸ナトリウム、クエン酸ナトリウム、脱脂粉乳、乳化剤等のその他の原料等を、望まれる品質特性に応じて選択し、水に分散し、均質化し、乾燥することによって製造できる。本発明に係る飲料用組成物の製造方法において原料とするクリーミングパウダーとしては、植物性油脂と、コーンシロップ等の澱粉加水分解物と、乳タンパク質とを少なくとも含むものが好ましく、乳脂肪分と乳タンパク質とを少なくとも含むものであってもよい。   Creaming powders are edible oils and fats such as palm oil, palm oil, palm kernel oil, soybean oil, corn oil, cottonseed oil, rapeseed oil, milk fat, beef tallow, and lard; sugars such as sucrose, glucose, and starch hydrolysates; It can be produced by selecting other raw materials such as sodium caseinate, dibasic sodium phosphate, sodium citrate, skimmed milk powder, and emulsifier according to desired quality characteristics, dispersing in water, homogenizing, and drying. As the creaming powder used as a raw material in the method for producing a beverage composition according to the present invention, vegetable fats and oils, starch hydrolysates such as corn syrup, and those containing at least milk protein are preferable, and milk fat and milk It may include at least a protein.

クリーミングパウダーは、例えば、食用油脂をはじめとする原料を水中で混合し、次いで乳化機等で水中油型乳化液(O/Wエマルション)とした後、水分を除去することによって製造することができる。水分を除去する方法としては、噴霧乾燥、噴霧凍結、凍結乾燥、凍結粉砕、押し出し造粒法等、任意の方法を選択して行うことができる。得られたクリーミングパウダーは、必要に応じて、分級、造粒及び粉砕等を行ってもよい。   The creaming powder can be produced, for example, by mixing raw materials such as edible oils and fats in water, making an oil-in-water emulsion (O / W emulsion) with an emulsifying machine, and then removing water. . As a method for removing water, any method such as spray drying, spray freezing, freeze drying, freeze pulverization, and extrusion granulation can be selected and performed. The obtained creaming powder may be classified, granulated, pulverized, etc., if necessary.

本発明に係る風味改善方法において用いられるテルペン類としては、可食性のものであればよく、一般的に飲食品に添加される香料として使用される物の中から適宜選択して使用することができる。また、本発明に係る風味改善方法において用いられるテルペン類としては、天然物由来の精製油(精油)であってもよく、合成品であってもよい。   The terpenes used in the flavor improving method according to the present invention may be edible ones, and may be appropriately selected and used from among the substances generally used as flavorings added to foods and drinks. it can. Further, the terpenes used in the method for improving flavor according to the present invention may be a purified oil (essential oil) derived from a natural product or a synthetic product.

具体的には、テルペン類としては、例えば、リモネン(D−リモネン、L−リモネン)、α−ピネン、β−ピネン、テルピノレン、リナロール、ヌートカトン、バレンセン、及びp−シメン等が挙げられる。本発明においては、様々な飲食品に対して充分な効果が得られることから、テルペン類としてリモネン、α−ピネン、β−ピネン、テルピノレン、リナロール、ヌートカトン、及びバレンセンからなる群より選択される一種以上を用いることが好ましく、D−リモネン及びβ−ピネンからなる群より選択される一種以上を用いることが特に好ましい。本発明においては、一種類のみを植物油脂含有飲食品に含有させてもよく、二種類以上のテルペン類を組み合わせて植物油脂含有飲食品に含有させてもよい。   Specific examples of the terpenes include limonene (D-limonene, L-limonene), α-pinene, β-pinene, terpinolene, linalool, nootkatone, valencene, p-cymene and the like. In the present invention, since a sufficient effect can be obtained for various foods and drinks, a kind selected from the group consisting of limonene, α-pinene, β-pinene, terpinolene, linalool, nootkatone, and valencene as terpenes. It is preferable to use the above, and it is particularly preferable to use one or more selected from the group consisting of D-limonene and β-pinene. In the present invention, only one kind may be contained in the vegetable oil / fat-containing food or drink, or two or more kinds of terpenes may be combined and contained in the vegetable oil / fat-containing food or drink.

テルペン類による植物油脂の持つ油っぽさやクセが低減されるという効果(以下、単に「油感マスキング効果」ということがある。)はテルペン類の含有量に依存する。すなわち、飲食品中の植物油脂含量に対するテルペン類の含有量が高いほど、または飲食品中のテルペン類の含有量が高いほど、テルペン類による油感マスキング効果は高くなる。植物油脂含有飲食品の種類によっては、油感マスキング効果が高くなりすぎると、植物油脂含有飲食品の油っぽさが過剰に低くなり、全体の風味がすっきりしすぎて薄くなってしまう場合もある。植物油脂含有飲食品中の植物油脂に対して適当な量のテルペン類を含有させることにより、当該植物油脂含有飲食品に求められるコクやクリーム感を損なうことなく、植物油脂に由来する好ましくない油っぽさやクセを低減させることができる。   The effect of reducing the oiliness and habit of vegetable oils and fats due to terpenes (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as "oil-sensing masking effect") depends on the content of terpenes. That is, the higher the content of terpenes with respect to the vegetable oil content in foods and drinks, or the higher the content of terpenes in foods and drinks, the higher the oily masking effect of terpenes. Depending on the type of vegetable oil and fat-containing food and drink, if the oily masking effect is too high, the oiliness of the vegetable oil and fat-containing food and drink becomes excessively low, and the overall flavor may become too clean and thin. is there. By containing an appropriate amount of terpenes with respect to the vegetable oil / fat in the vegetable oil / fat-containing food / fat, without impairing the richness and creaminess required for the vegetable oil / fat-containing food / fat, an undesirable oil derived from the vegetable oil / fat It can reduce the softness and habit.

植物油脂含有飲食品に含有させるテルペン類の量は、所望の強さの油感マスキング効果が得られるように、植物油脂含有飲食品の種類、植物油脂含有飲食品中の植物油脂の含有量等を考慮して、適宜決定できる。例えば、テルペン類がリモネンの場合、植物油脂含有飲食品に含有させるリモネンの量は、植物油脂含有飲食品中の植物油脂100質量部に対して0.0001〜0.05質量部であることが好ましく、0.0003〜0.035質量部であることがより好ましく、0.001〜0.02質量部であることがさらに好ましい。   The amount of terpenes to be contained in the vegetable oil-containing food and drink, the type of vegetable oil and fat-containing food and drink, the content of vegetable oil and fat in the vegetable oil and fat-containing food and drink, etc., so as to obtain an oily masking effect of desired strength. Can be appropriately determined in consideration of the above. For example, when the terpenes are limonene, the amount of limonene contained in the vegetable oil-containing food or drink may be 0.0001 to 0.05 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the vegetable oil in the vegetable oil-containing food or drink. It is preferably 0.0003 to 0.035 parts by mass, more preferably 0.001 to 0.02 parts by mass.

また、テルペン類の多くが特有の香味を有しているため、テルペン類の含有量が多くなりすぎると、テルペン類自体の香味が強くなり、異味に感じられるようになる。このため、植物油脂含有飲食品に含有させるテルペン類の質量濃度は、当該植物油脂含有飲食品中において当該テルペン類特有の香味がヒトの五感で検知可能な最小質量濃度(検知閾値濃度)以下であることが好ましく、検知閾値濃度の0.67倍濃度以下であることがより好ましい。例えば、テルペン類がリモネンの場合、植物油脂含有飲食品の種類によってやや変動するものの、検知閾値濃度はおよそ10〜20ppm程度である。このため、本発明に係る風味改善方法において、テルペン類としてリモネンを用いる場合、植物油脂含有飲食品に含有させるリモネン量は、15ppm以下が好ましく、0.01〜15ppmがより好ましく、0.1〜10ppm以下がさらに好ましく、0.5〜5ppmがよりさらに好ましい。なお、各植物油脂含有飲食品における各テルペン類の検知閾値濃度は、植物油脂含有飲食品に様々な濃度となるようにテルペン類を添加した場合に、当該テルペン類特有の香味がヒトの五感で検知できるかどうかを調べ、特有の香味が検知できた最小濃度値を決定することにより求められる。   Further, since most of the terpenes have a peculiar flavor, if the content of the terpenes is too large, the flavor of the terpenes themselves becomes strong, and the terpenes feel unnatural. Therefore, the mass concentration of the terpenes to be contained in the vegetable oil-containing food or drink is equal to or less than the minimum mass concentration (detection threshold concentration) in which the terpene-specific flavor in the vegetable oil-containing food or beverage can be detected by the human five senses. It is preferable that the density is 0.67 times the detection threshold density or less. For example, when the terpene is limonene, the detection threshold concentration is about 10 to 20 ppm, although it varies slightly depending on the type of vegetable oil and fat-containing food and drink. Therefore, in the flavor improving method according to the present invention, when limonene is used as the terpenes, the amount of limonene contained in the vegetable oil-containing food or drink is preferably 15 ppm or less, more preferably 0.01 to 15 ppm, and 0.1 to 15 ppm is preferable. 10 ppm or less is more preferable, and 0.5 to 5 ppm is even more preferable. Incidentally, the detection threshold concentration of each terpene in each vegetable oil-containing food and drink, when adding terpenes to be various concentrations to vegetable oil-containing food and drink, the flavor unique to the terpenes in the human five senses. It is determined by checking whether or not it can be detected, and determining the minimum density value at which the unique flavor can be detected.
