JPH09275921A - Agent for improving tempura coating and oil-fat composition using the agent tempura coating - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a composition for the coatings of tempura (Japanese deep-fat fried food), good in decorativeness and capable of improving the texture of the tempura by compounding grain flour such as wheat flour as a main compo nent with a swelling agent and a diglyceryl fatty acid ester as effective components. SOLUTION: This composition comprises (A) a grain flour such as wheat flour as a main component, (B) a swelling agent (baking powder) preferably in an amount of 1-5wt.%, and (C) a diglyceryl fatty acid ester (the constituting fatty acid contains 8-22 carbon atoms, preferably 16-22 carbon atoms) in an amount of 0.1-5wt.%, preferably 0.5-3wt.%.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a composition for tempura clothing, which comprises an improving agent and fats and oils which can produce a tempura having a good flowering and a good texture.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Tempura is cooked by preparing a coating liquid for tempura from wheat flour and water, adding fried seeds such as vegetables and seafood to the coating liquid, and frying it in oil heated to a high temperature in advance. The cooking method of tempura is an exchange reaction between water and oil, and a good texture can be obtained by promoting the evaporation of water. Therefore, a swelling agent, an emulsifier, etc. are conventionally added. However, it has been difficult to obtain tempura having a good flower bloom with improved texture by the conventional techniques. Further, as a method for improving flower bloom, a method comprising blending ethyl alcohol (JP-A-57-12965, 57-16663, 57-3356).
However, the effect is not sufficient.

Means for Solving the Problems As a result of intensive studies to solve the above problems, the present inventors have found that cereal flour such as wheat flour is the main component, and that an expanding agent and diglycerin monofatty acid are used as active ingredients. By blending an improver composition containing an ester as a main component and / or an oil / fat composition, the present invention was found to find that tempura having a better flower bloom and a better texture can be obtained, as compared with the conventional one. It came to completion.

That is, the present invention is mainly composed of wheat flour and other cereal flour, and is mixed with an expanding agent and a diglycerin monofatty acid ester and / or an oil and fat composition as active ingredients, and a tempura clothing composition. It is about things.

In the present invention, a grain flour raw material such as wheat flour is used as a main component, but other starch such as wheat, corn, rice, sweet potato and potato may be used in combination. The expanding agent used in the present invention is ammonium carbonate, ammonium hydrogen carbonate, sodium hydrogen carbonate, or a baking powder prepared by appropriately mixing these with an acid or an acidic substance (citric acid, tartaric acid, fumaric acid, gluconodeltalactone, etc.). obtain. The amount of baking powder added is preferably 1 to 5% by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the composition for tempura clothing.

The diglycerin monofatty acid ester in the present invention is obtained by esterification reaction of diglycerin and fatty acid or transesterification reaction of diglycerin and triglycerin, and purified and concentrated by a method such as molecular distillation to obtain monoester. The purity is increased to 50% or more, and the constituent fatty acid is a fatty acid having 8 to 22 carbon atoms alone or a mixture, preferably a diglycerin monofatty acid ester having 16 to 22 carbon atoms.

The improving agent composition of the present invention comprises an emulsifier containing the above diglycerin monofatty acid ester as a main component and a base material such as casein Na and dextrin,
It is a powdered emulsifier formulation.

The oil and fat composition in the present invention means the above-mentioned diglycerin monofatty acid ester such as soybean oil, rapeseed oil, cottonseed oil, palm oil, coconut oil, corn oil, palm kernel oil, fish oil, beef tallow, milk fat, etc. Fats and oils and their hardened oils,
It is possible to use one obtained by melting and mixing one or more kinds of fractionated oils, transesterified oils and the like, and one obtained by cooling and powdering by spray cooling or the like. The amount of diglycerin monofatty acid ester added is 100% for tempura clothing composition.
0.1-5% by weight, preferably 0.5-3% by weight in parts by weight
Is good. Examples will be shown and described below, but the present invention is not limited to these examples.

[0010]

EXAMPLES Examples 1 to 4 Baking powder (commercial product composition: sodium hydrogen carbonate 32%, aluminum potassium sulfate 30%, L-potassium hydrogen tartrate 20%, food material 18%) based on wheat flour (soft flour) 3 % By weight, diglycerin monofatty acid ester
A composition for tempura clothing containing 0.5 to 3.0% by weight was used. Add 140 parts by weight of water to 100 parts by weight of composition for tempura clothing,
Prepare a tempura batter, add shrimp to the batter, and leave at 180 ℃
Deep fried in oil for 2.5 minutes.

Comparative Examples 1 to 3 Compositions for tempura garments were used, which were based on wheat flour (soft flour) and mixed with 1 to 3% by weight of the baking powder used in Examples 1 to 4.

Comparative Example 4 A composition for tempura clothing was used, which was based on wheat flour (soft flour) and mixed with 2% by weight of diglycerin monofatty acid ester.

Examples 5 to 8 Based on wheat flour (soft flour), 2% by weight of baking powder and 2% by weight of diglycerin monofatty acid ester used in Examples 1 to 4 were melt mixed with 1 to 3% by weight of corn oil. A composition for tempura clothing containing an oil and fat composition was used.
Table 1 shows the evaluation results.
