Description

本発明は、穀粉を主成分とする食品の製造の際に用いられる塩味増強剤、及び、該塩味増強剤を用いた食品の塩味を増強する方法に関する。また、本発明は、食塩使用量に比して塩味が増強された、又は、食塩使用量が通常より低減されても低減前と同等の食塩味を有する、穀粉を主成分とする食品の製造方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a salty taste enhancer used in the production of foods containing flour as a main component, and a method for enhancing the salty taste of foods using the salty taste enhancer. Further, the present invention, the salty taste is enhanced as compared to the amount of salt used, or even if the amount of salt used is reduced than usual, having a salty taste equivalent to that before reduction, production of foods containing flour as a main component Regarding the method.

ベーカリー製品や麺製品等の穀粉を主成分とする食品には、製造原料として、食塩が使用されるものが多い。食塩は、これら食品に塩味を付与するだけでなく、それら製品製造時の生地物性に大きな影響を及ぼすため、作業性の面から、その添加量は一定の範囲に限られる。穀粉を主成分とする各種食品の製造時の一般的な食塩使用量は、小麦粉100gに対し、パン類では0.5〜3.0g(非特許文献1)、クッキー類では0.8〜2.1g(非特許文献2)、パイ生地・タルト生地では0.7〜3.0g(非特許文献2及び3)、ケーキ類では0.5〜2.0g(非特許文献3)、うどんでは2.0〜6.4g(非特許文献4)であり、これら食品には相当量の食塩が含まれるといえる。   Many foods containing flour as a main component, such as bakery products and noodle products, use salt as a manufacturing raw material. Since salt not only imparts a salty taste to these foods but also has a great influence on the physical properties of the dough during the production of these products, the addition amount thereof is limited to a certain range from the viewpoint of workability. A general amount of salt used during the production of various foods containing flour as a main component is 0.5 to 3.0 g for breads and 0.8 to 2 for cookies with respect to 100 g of wheat flour. 0.1 g (non-patent document 2), pie dough / tart dough 0.7-3.0 g (non-patent documents 2 and 3), cakes 0.5-2.0 g (non-patent document 3), udon It is 2.0 to 6.4 g (Non-Patent Document 4), and it can be said that these foods contain a considerable amount of salt.

一方で、食塩の過剰摂取は、高血圧を発端とし、脳卒中、心臓病、腎臓病などの命にかかわる疾患を招く恐れがあることから、我が国の厚生労働省は、2015年4月1日より、食塩摂取量の一日の目標量を、男性では9.0g未満から8.0g未満へ、女性では7.5g未満から7.0g未満へと変更している。このような状況下、食品中の食塩量低減が求められるところであるが、前述の通り、穀粉を主成分とする食品の製造においては、食塩は必須成分であり、その使用量を低減すると、例えばベーカリー生地や麺生地にべたつきが生じ、作業性が著しく悪化する。そして、そのように食塩使用量を低減して得られる食品は、塩味が薄く物足りないというだけでなく、風味や食感が大きく損なわれたものとなる。   On the other hand, excessive intake of salt may lead to life-threatening diseases such as stroke, heart disease, and kidney disease starting from hypertension, so the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare of Japan has decided that salt intake from April 1, 2015 The target daily intake has been changed from less than 9.0 g to less than 8.0 g for men and from less than 7.5 g to less than 7.0 g for women. Under these circumstances, it is required to reduce the amount of salt in food, but as described above, in the production of foods containing flour as a main component, salt is an essential component, and if the amount used is reduced, for example, The bakery dough or noodle dough becomes sticky and the workability is significantly deteriorated. In addition, the food obtained by reducing the amount of salt used in this way has not only a poor salty taste and is unsatisfactory, but also the flavor and texture are greatly impaired.

穀粉を主成分とする食品の食塩使用量を低減する方法は、これまでにいくつか開示されている。例えば、特許文献1は、グルコン酸のアルカリ金属塩でない有機酸のアルカリ金属塩が、食塩に代替しても焙焼製品製造時の作業性に影響を及ぼさないとの知見を得て、「グルコン酸のアルカリ金属塩を除く有機酸のアルカリ金属塩を含有するパン類およびその他の焙焼製品用食塩代替原料」を開示している。特許文献2は、食塩含量を減じた生地をいったん製造し、その生地に対し、食塩を多量に含有する小片状製パン用生地配合材を、視認できる程度に練り込むことで、パン生地全体では食塩含量が減じられているにもかかわらず塩味の感じ方が強くなるとの知見を得て、「食塩を3〜30質量%含有する小片状製パン用生地配合材」を開示している。また、特許文献3は、ナトリウム塩を含まない特定のカリウム塩の組み合わせが塩知覚を顕著に強化させるとの知見を得て、「塩化カリウム、リン酸一カリウムおよびクエン酸カリウムのブレンドを含む塩味強化組成物」などを開示している。そして、特許文献4は、メジアン径が4.9μm以下である架橋でん粉が液状飲食品において塩味増強効果を有するとの知見を得て、「メジアン径が4.9μm以下となるように物理的に微小化された架橋澱粉を有効成分とし、添加された飲食品の塩味を増強することを特徴とする塩味増強剤」を開示している。   Several methods for reducing the amount of salt used in foods containing flour as a main component have been disclosed so far. For example, Patent Document 1 obtains the finding that an alkali metal salt of an organic acid that is not an alkali metal salt of gluconic acid does not affect workability at the time of producing a roasted product even if it is replaced with salt, and "Glucon" Raw materials for salt substitutes for breads and other roasted products containing alkali metal salts of organic acids excluding alkali metal salts of acids "are disclosed. Patent Document 2 once manufactures a dough with a reduced salt content, and kneads a small piece of bread dough mixture containing a large amount of salt into the dough in a visually recognizable manner so that the entire dough Based on the finding that the salty taste is enhanced despite the reduced salt content, "a small piece of bread dough compounding material containing 3 to 30 mass% of salt" is disclosed. In addition, Patent Document 3 obtained the finding that a combination of specific potassium salts containing no sodium salt remarkably enhances salt perception, and discloses that “a salty taste containing a blend of potassium chloride, monopotassium phosphate and potassium citrate”. "Strengthening compositions" and the like. And patent document 4 obtained the knowledge that the crosslinked starch having a median diameter of 4.9 μm or less has a salty taste enhancing effect in liquid food and drink, and “physically so that the median diameter is 4.9 μm or less”. "A salty taste enhancer characterized by using micronized crosslinked starch as an active ingredient to enhance the salty taste of foods and drinks added thereto".

しかし、高血圧に起因する上記各疾患を予防すべく、食塩をはじめとするナトリウム塩の摂取を控える目的からすれば、特許文献1及び3の発明は、ナトリウム以外の塩、例えば、カリウム塩を使用せざるを得ず、ナトリウム塩にはない独特のエグ味を生じることとなる。また、特許文献2及び4の発明は、食塩を2回に分けて添加するとか、用いる架橋澱粉に高度な物理的処理を加えてあらかじめ微小化する必要があるため、工程が煩雑であって、簡便かつ実用的なものではなかった。   However, in order to prevent the above-mentioned diseases caused by hypertension, the inventions of Patent Documents 1 and 3 use salts other than sodium, for example, potassium salts, for the purpose of refraining from ingesting sodium salts such as sodium chloride. There is no choice but to produce a peculiar acrid taste not found in sodium salts. Further, in the inventions of Patent Documents 2 and 4, since it is necessary to add salt in two portions or to add fine physical treatment to the cross-linked starch to be used in advance to miniaturize it, the process is complicated, It was not simple and practical.

本発明における「膨潤抑制澱粉」とは、澱粉を加熱した際に澱粉粒の膨張、すなわち、澱粉粒の糊化が抑制される澱粉のことを指す。本発明で使用する膨潤抑制澱粉は、沈降積が4.0mL以下であって、かつ、平均粒子径が15μm以上であればよい。なお、膨潤抑制澱粉の具体例としては、リン酸架橋澱粉、リン酸モノエステル化リン酸架橋澱粉、高アミロースコーンスターチ、老化澱粉、湿熱処理澱粉が挙げられる。そして、沈降積が4.0mL以下であって、かつ、平均粒子径が15μm以上となる膨潤抑制澱粉を得るには、平均粒子径が15μm以上の澱粉を原料とし、後述する条件下において架橋処理などの処理を施せばよい。   The “swelling-inhibiting starch” in the present invention refers to a starch in which expansion of the starch particles, that is, gelatinization of the starch particles is suppressed when the starch is heated. The swelling-inhibiting starch used in the present invention may have a sedimentation product of 4.0 mL or less and an average particle diameter of 15 μm or more. Specific examples of the swelling-suppressing starch include phosphoric acid crosslinked starch, phosphoric acid monoesterified phosphoric acid crosslinked starch, high amylose corn starch, aged starch, and heat-moisture treated starch. Then, in order to obtain a swelling-inhibiting starch having a sedimentation product of 4.0 mL or less and an average particle size of 15 μm or more, a starch having an average particle size of 15 μm or more is used as a raw material and subjected to a crosslinking treatment under the conditions described below. It suffices to perform processing such as.

ここで、平均粒子径が15μm以上の原料澱粉としては、地下茎又は根に含まれる澱粉(地下澱粉と呼ぶ)の場合、タピオカ澱粉、馬鈴薯澱粉、甘薯澱粉、葛澱粉、蕨澱粉などが挙げられ、種子に含まれる澱粉(地上澱粉と呼ぶ)の場合、小麦澱粉、トウモロコシ澱粉などが挙げられる。本発明の塩味増強効果を得るには、地下澱粉を原料とした膨潤抑制澱粉を用いるのが好ましく、その地下澱粉の中でもタピオカ澱粉、馬鈴薯澱粉及び甘薯澱粉からなる群より選ばれる少なくとも一以上を原料とした膨潤抑制澱粉を用いるのがより好ましく、甘藷澱粉を原料とした膨潤抑制澱粉を用いるのがさらに好ましい。   Here, as the raw material starch having an average particle diameter of 15 μm or more, in the case of starch contained in rhizomes or roots (referred to as subterranean starch), tapioca starch, potato starch, sweet potato starch, kudzu starch, warb starch, etc. may be mentioned. In the case of starch contained in seeds (referred to as above-ground starch), wheat starch, corn starch and the like can be mentioned. In order to obtain the salty taste enhancing effect of the present invention, it is preferable to use a swelling-inhibiting starch made from underground starch, and at least one selected from the group consisting of tapioca starch, potato starch and sweet potato starch is used as the raw material among the underground starch. It is more preferable to use the swelling-inhibiting starch described above, and it is more preferable to use the swelling-inhibiting starch made from sweet potato starch.

ここで、本発明における「平均粒子径」とは、澱粉試料を、レーザー回折・散乱式 粒子径分布測定装置(MT3300EX−II、日機装株式会社)により測定可能な濃度範囲となるようイオン交換水に分散し、その懸濁液の粒度分布を当該測定装置により測定して得られるD50値(メジアン径)をいう。なお、澱粉の屈折率は1.81、イオン交換水の屈折率は1.3333として粒子径を算出した。   Here, the "average particle size" in the present invention means that the starch sample is ion-exchanged water so that the concentration range can be measured by a laser diffraction / scattering particle size distribution measuring device (MT3300EX-II, Nikkiso Co., Ltd.). The D50 value (median diameter) obtained by dispersing and measuring the particle size distribution of the suspension by the measuring device. The particle diameter was calculated assuming that the refractive index of starch is 1.81 and the refractive index of ion-exchanged water is 1.3333.

本発明における「沈降積」とは、澱粉の膨潤し易さの指標であって、以下の方法によって測定された値をいう。まず、澱粉試料0.15g(固形物換算)を試験管に計量し、あらかじめ調製しておいた試薬(塩化アンモニウム26質量%、塩化亜鉛10質量%、水64%により調製)15mLを注ぎ込む。次に、卓上バイブレーターを用いて、試験管中の澱粉試料を均一に分散させ、直ちに沸騰浴中に固定して10分間加熱後、25〜35℃まで冷却する。そして、この試験管中の澱粉試料を、卓上バイブレーターを用いて再度分散させ、10mL容量メスシリンダーに10mL流し込み、25℃にて20時間静置後、その沈殿物の目盛値を読み取る。   The "sedimentation product" in the present invention is an index of swelling easiness of starch and means a value measured by the following method. First, 0.15 g of starch sample (as solid matter) is weighed into a test tube, and 15 mL of a previously prepared reagent (26% by mass of ammonium chloride, 10% by mass of zinc chloride and 64% of water) is poured. Next, the starch sample in the test tube is uniformly dispersed using a tabletop vibrator, immediately fixed in a boiling bath, heated for 10 minutes, and then cooled to 25 to 35 ° C. Then, the starch sample in the test tube is redispersed using a tabletop vibrator, 10 mL is poured into a 10 mL graduated cylinder, left standing at 25 ° C. for 20 hours, and then the scale value of the precipitate is read.

本発明の膨潤抑制澱粉は、沈降積が4.0mL以下であることが必須であって、好ましくは3.0mL以下、より好ましくは2.0mL以下、さらに好ましくは1.0mL以下である。このような膨潤抑制澱粉を得る方法としては、例えば、澱粉の架橋処理が挙げられる。架橋剤としてトリメタリン酸ナトリウムを使用する場合は、原料澱粉に対して1%〜8%を、オキシ塩化リンを使用する場合は、原料澱粉に対して0.01%〜0.1%を添加し、定法(必要であれば、特表2002−503959参照)により反応させれば、本発明の膨潤抑制澱粉を得ることができる。少なくとも上記各架橋剤を反応させて得られる澱粉は、リン酸架橋澱粉である。リン酸架橋澱粉には、上記各架橋剤にトリポリリン酸ナトリウム0.01〜0.1%を同時に反応させて得られるリン酸モノエステル化リン酸架橋デンプンも含まれる。   The swelling-inhibiting starch of the present invention is required to have a sedimentation product of 4.0 mL or less, preferably 3.0 mL or less, more preferably 2.0 mL or less, and further preferably 1.0 mL or less. Examples of the method for obtaining such a swelling-suppressing starch include a crosslinking treatment of starch. When sodium trimetaphosphate is used as the cross-linking agent, 1% to 8% is added to the raw starch, and when phosphorus oxychloride is used, 0.01% to 0.1% is added to the raw starch. The swelling-inhibiting starch of the present invention can be obtained by carrying out the reaction according to the standard method (see Table 2002-503959, if necessary). The starch obtained by reacting at least each of the above crosslinking agents is phosphoric acid crosslinked starch. The phosphoric acid crosslinked starch also includes phosphoric acid monoesterified phosphoric acid crosslinked starch obtained by simultaneously reacting 0.01 to 0.1% of sodium tripolyphosphate with each of the above crosslinking agents.

本発明の沈降積が4.0mL以下の膨潤抑制澱粉を得るためのその他方法としては、澱粉の湿熱処理や老化処理が挙げられる。具体的には、澱粉を100℃前後の飽和水蒸気の存在下で10〜180分間加熱処理する(湿熱処理)とか、水分含量40〜50%の澱粉を80〜120℃のエクストルーダーで加熱糊化後に水冷及び5℃冷蔵庫で冷却し、60℃で熱風乾燥粉砕する(老化処理)などして得られる。   Other methods for obtaining a swelling-inhibiting starch having a sedimentation product of 4.0 mL or less according to the present invention include wet heat treatment and aging treatment of starch. Specifically, starch is heat-treated in the presence of saturated steam at about 100 ° C. for 10 to 180 minutes (wet heat treatment), or starch having a water content of 40 to 50% is heated and gelatinized with an extruder at 80 to 120 ° C. After that, it is obtained by cooling with water and a refrigerator at 5 ° C., pulverizing with hot air at 60 ° C. (aging treatment), and the like.

なお、膨潤抑制澱粉が、エーテル化処理又はエステル化処理が施されたものである場合、本発明の効果はやや劣ったものとなる。また、原料澱粉の平均粒子径が15μm以上であっても、物理的処理などにより微細化されて最終的に得られる膨潤抑制澱粉の平均粒子径が15μm未満となる場合は、本発明の効果は得られない。   When the swelling-suppressing starch is etherified or esterified, the effect of the present invention is somewhat inferior.
