[Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a complex sweetener that is favorable for health and has a high-quality sweet taste. [Prior Art and its Problems] In recent years, various oligosaccharides that are effective as growth promoters of Bifidobacteria, which are useful bacteria in the intestines, have been developed. As such oligosaccharides, fructo-oligosaccharides (Japanese Patent Publication No. 1983-201980) and galactooligosaccharides (Japanese Patent Publication No. 58-20266) are known.
The present inventors have also proposed a method for producing this type of galactooligosaccharide (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 60-251896, JP-A No. 61-236790),
A purification method (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 61-271999) and a method for producing sweeteners containing the same (Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 61-289856) have already been proposed. These oligosaccharides are primarily intended to be used as sweeteners, but many of them have low sweetness and are known to cause symptoms such as diarrhea if used in large quantities at once to satisfy the sweet taste. However, there were problems in using these oligosaccharides alone as sweeteners for coffee, tea, etc. On the other hand, various high-intensity sweeteners are known that have sufficient sweetness even in small amounts; however, when these high-intensity sweeteners are used alone, they generally leave a unique aftertaste, lack a body taste, or have a sweet taste. It has been pointed out that there are disadvantages such as difficulty in adjusting the sweetness level due to the high degree of sweetness. Conventionally, in order to compensate for these disadvantages, one or more types of natural sugars such as sucrose, glucose, fructose, and lactose have been added. A method of blending is used. [Objective of the Invention] The present invention contains an oligosaccharide that is effective as a growth promoter for Bifidobacterium, has sufficient sweetness even when used in an appropriate amount that does not cause symptoms such as diarrhea, is low in calories, and is superior to conventional It is an object of the present invention to provide a sweetener that is beneficial for health and has a high-quality sweet taste without the above-mentioned drawbacks of sweeteners. [Structure of the invention] The present invention is based on the formula

A sugar composition containing (1→4)-D-glucose (hereinafter referred to as 4'-galactosyllactose) as a main component and a Stevia extract or its derivative (hereinafter referred to as Stevia sweet ingredient). It is a complex sweetener characterized by containing. The sugar composition used in the present invention has 4'-galactosyllactose as its main component, but may also contain monosaccharides or disaccharides such as glucose, galactose, and lactose, or other oligosaccharides. 4′-galactosyllactose can be produced using Cryptococcus laurentii (Criptococcus laurentii).
var. laurentii) OKN-4 strain (Feikoken Bacillus No. 7629
No.) in a medium containing lactose (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 60-251896), a method of reacting the above bacterial cells or their derivatives with lactose (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 61-1989).
236790), and a method in which a microorganism belonging to the genus Kluyveromyces is used in combination when reacting the above-mentioned bacterial cells or their derivatives with lactose (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 61-271999) is known. In the present invention, the sugar compositions obtained by these methods can be used as they are, but the 4'-galactosyllactose concentration can be increased by appropriate purification means, or the sugar compositions that remain in the sugar composition can be used. Lactose decomposed into glucose and galactose by β-galactosidase can be used. The stevia sweet ingredient used in the present invention is a general term for sweet ingredients contained in Stevia Rebaudiana Bertoni, a perennial plant of the Asteraceae family, and the ingredients include stevioside, rebaudioside A, and the same steviol. There are five types that have skeletons. Further, its derivatives include steviolbioside, which is an alkaline hydrolyzate, and α-glucosyl stevioside, which is a synthetic product using glycosyltransferase. The blending ratio of the sugar composition containing 4'-galactosyllactose as a main component and the stevia sweetening component in the complex sweetener of the present invention depends on the sugar composition ratio and the stevia sweetening component of the sugar composition, as well as the use and purpose of use. In the present invention, 0.1 to 0.1 to 100 parts by weight of stevia extract or a derivative thereof (stevia sweet component) is added to 100 parts by weight of the sugar composition.
In the range of 10 parts by weight. For example, as a sweetener to replace sucrose, for 100 parts by weight of a sugar composition containing 95% by weight or more of 4'-galactosyllactose, stevioside has a sweetness level of 10 to 200 times that of sugar;
The range is preferably 0.3 to 1 part by weight, and in the case of the above stevioside, the amount is 0.2 to 1 part by weight for 100 parts by weight of a sugar composition containing 61% by weight of 4'-galactosyllactose, 33% by weight of glucose and galactose, and 5% by weight of lactose. Parts by weight ranges are preferred. If the blending ratio of stevia extract or its derivative to 100 parts by weight of the above-mentioned sugar composition is less than 0.1 part by weight, the sweetness level as the complex sweetener of the present invention cannot be obtained, and it is more than 10 parts by weight. If this is the case, the bitterness increases, the aftertaste worsens, the sweetness becomes dull, and the taste quality deteriorates, which is undesirable. It is also possible to add other sweeteners or dispersants, excipients, flavors, colorants, etc. to the sweetener composition of the present invention. [Action] 4'-galactosyllactose is low in calories, and a sugar composition containing it has only 0.3 to 0.5 times the sweetness of sucrose. According to the composite sweetener of the present invention, the sweetness of the sweetener as a whole is increased by adding the stevia sweetening component, and the 4′-
It becomes possible to use a sweetener containing galactosyllactose as a low-calorie sweetener for beverages in an appropriate amount that does not cause symptoms such as diarrhea. Also,
When used alone, the stevia sweetening ingredient has the drawbacks of leaving a bitter aftertaste and slow onset of sweetness; however, even when used in combination with natural sugar sweeteners such as sucrose, glucose, and fructose, the advantages of the stevia sweetening ingredient cannot be fully exploited. Although a complex sweetener that completely eliminates these drawbacks has not been obtained, these drawbacks can be eliminated by combining it with a sugar composition whose main component is 4'-galactosyllactose, making it a high-quality sweetener. was found to be obtained. Furthermore, since the stevia sweet component has a high degree of sweetness, there was a problem in that it was difficult to adjust the degree of sweetness using only this component, but this problem is also solved by the present invention. [Example] Examples of the present invention are shown below, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Preparation of a sugar composition containing 4'-galactosyllactose A sterilized 500 ml Erlenmeyer flask was charged with 100 ml of a medium having the composition shown in Table 1. Laurentei Variety Laurentei
One platinum loop of OKN-4 (Feikoken Bibori No. 7629) was inoculated and cultured in a rotary shaking incubator at 30°C for 6 days. The obtained culture was centrifuged using a centrifuge (8000 rpm, 10 minutes) to obtain a supernatant. The composition of this supernatant was 3.0% by weight of lactose, 5.0% by weight of 4'-galactosyllactose represented by formula (I), and 8.0g of total sugar. Table 1 Culture composition Lactose 100g NH 4 Cl 2g Yeast extract 0.2g KH 2 PO 4 0.8g Na 2 HPO 4・12H 2 O 0.3g MgSO 4・7H 2 O 0.02g Water 1 PH 6.0 Contains the obtained galactooligosaccharides Supernatant liquid 1000g
After adjusting the pH to 6.0, β-galactosidase (trade name) derived from Culiveromyces lactis was added.
5 g of Lactase-GODO-YNL (Godo Sake Refining) was added and reacted at 30°C for 3 hours. After the reaction is completed, 5
The enzyme was inactivated by placing it in a boiling water bath for a minute. The sugar composition in the reaction solution was 33.3% by weight of monosaccharides (glucose, galactose), 5.5% by weight of lactose, and 61.2% by weight of 4'-galactosyllactose represented by formula (I), and contained 80g of sugar as total sugar. was. This reaction solution was decolorized with activated carbon and desalted using an ion exchange resin, and then concentrated in vacuo to remove moisture.
A 25% by weight liquid was obtained. Preparation and sensory evaluation of complex sweetener The sugar composition (moisture content) obtained by preparing as above
8 g of the sweetener (A) of the present invention, in which 0.46 parts by weight of stevia (trade name: SK Sweet Z; manufactured by Sanyo Kokusaku Pulp, 110 times sweeter than sugar) was added to 100 parts by weight (including 25% by weight); 100 parts by weight of sugar and stevia
A panel of 12 people conducted a sensory evaluation using 125 ml each of coffee and black tea using 3 g of 0.91 parts by weight of mixed sweetener (B) and 0.055 g of stevia single sweetener (C). The results are shown in Table 2.
