Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to shredded soybeans having an excellent flavor at the time of drinking, foods and drinks containing the same, and methods for producing them.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, foods and drinks containing pulp (pulp cell), pulp, etc. have been marketed as fruit juice beverages.
A variety of products have been developed in conjunction with consumer health consciousness. Specifically, those containing fruit fiber, citrus canola, grape pulp and the like are well known, and JP-A-6-335371 discloses a beverage containing apple and the like grated pulp. .

[0003] Among them, foods and drinks containing citrus sanou have been popular for a long time because of their texture and natural image. Sano is superior in terms of flavor when compared to other pulp substances such as albedo (intimal membrane) and epithelium, but also compared to those that do not contain, for example, beverages. There is no denying that the throat and texture (texture) are bad.

[0004] Another problem in the production is that, when a paper container is used as a container for drinking beverage, the pulp cell may be caught in the container seal during the production, which may cause liquid leakage. There was also.

[0005]

Accordingly, the present invention is not limited to the case where a paper container is used, while providing a more excellent throat and texture (tongue) without destroying the flavor of the conventional citrus food and drink. In addition, there has been a demand for the provision of foods and drinks that do not cause problems such as liquid leakage.

[0006]

Means for Solving the Problems The present inventors have proposed juice,
Fruit juice drinks, including drinks such as fruit juice soft drinks, as a result of intensive research on Sano blended in various foods and drinks, as a result of the citrus fruit of the shredded to a certain range, in the food and drink It has been found that when blended, it feels soothing and pleasant to the touch and does not lose its fruity feel. In addition, it has been found that the beverage containing the shredded sac does not leak even when filled into a paper container.

That is, an object of the present invention is to provide a long diameter of 1 to 3 m.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a shredded bag characterized by having a ratio of the chopped bag in the range of m of 35% or more, and having a longer diameter of 10% or less. Also,
Another object of the present invention is to provide a foodstuff containing sunflower which is characterized by containing the above shredded sunflower. Still another object of the present invention is to provide a citrus-fruit pulp with the following steps (a) and (b): (a) citrus-fruit pulp with 50 to 200% by weight of water or juice. A step of adding (b) grinding the hydrated soybean with a grinder having a screen of 1 to 2 mm; It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for producing sanoka-containing foods and drinks, in which tofu is mixed with food ingredients.

[0008]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The citrus fruits of the present invention, which are blended in foods and drinks, have a major diameter of 1 to 3 mm, and the ratio of the cells is 35% or more. Saw that has a longer major axis is chopped so as to be 10% or less (hereinafter referred to as "shredded sand"). The shredded soybean is obtained by subjecting it to a process such as grinding and shearing under specific conditions as described below, and squeezes ordinary citrus fruits. The squeezed remnants of the sometimes-developed blisters are clearly different in the size of the chopped blisters.

[0009] In the present specification, the term "song" means "song" itself or pulp cells, that is, pulp derived from sap, such as the sucrose compression residue that is produced during fruit squeezing. In addition, the major axis of the cane refers to the value of the longitudinal length of the cane or chopped cane visually, measured using a loupe or a microscope, and the ratio is a percentage of a certain amount. It is a value that indicates the number of shredded bladders of each size as a percentage.

The shredded soybeans of the present invention are obtained from citrus fruits, specifically oranges such as Valencia orange and Unshu mandarin orange, lemons, grapefruits, sweeties and so on (pulp cells). Can be. The shredded bladder has a rich, sharp and suitable texture as compared to albedo or other pulp derived from the epithelium.

The shredded sac of the present invention can be prepared, for example, as follows. First, a solvent such as water, fruit juice, or the like is added to the commercially available citrus fruits to disperse them. At this time, the amount of the solvent to be added is preferably 50 to 200% by weight, particularly preferably 80 to 150% by weight, for reasons such as viscosity and workability. As the solvent, water is most preferred from the viewpoint of cost, workability and the like. In addition, after adding the solvent, even if various enzyme treatments such as cellulase are performed in consideration of the decrease in viscosity during the grinding treatment, the fineness cannot be efficiently performed.

Next, the dispersed soybean is subjected to a grinding treatment. At this time, two types of mills, a precision crusher and a cylindrical sieve crusher, can be used. Here, the cylindrical sieve-type pulverizer has a function of rotating the blade while supplying a small interval to the inner surface of the cylindrical screen, supplying a fluid raw material, and separating liquid and solid components. It is usually used as a soup or grain roughing machine.

The principle by which the shredder can be obtained by this cylindrical sieve type pulverizer is as follows. In other words, the bleacher supplied to the cylindrical sieve-type crusher is sheared by the rotating motion of the plate while being centrifugally moved outward (screen side).
Move to. The screen is further shredded by shearing force caused by being sandwiched between the inner wall of the screen and the plate.
Of the chopped pieces thus obtained, those having a uniform long diameter pass through the holes of the screen, and a chopped piece having a predetermined long diameter is obtained. Of this cylindrical sieve crusher,
A specific example is Pulper (manufactured by Seikensha Co., Ltd.).

As a preferred embodiment in the case of grinding using a cylindrical sieve-type pulverizer, a form in which the distance between the screen and the plate is adjusted within the range of 7-14 mm and the treatment is carried out twice or more is mentioned. . By such a treatment, 35% of the major diameter is about 1 to 3 mm.
As described above, it is possible to obtain shredded soybeans that are shredded so that more than 10% is obtained. It should be noted that, if the grinding treatment is performed once, shredding is insufficient, and there is a possibility that 10% or more of those having a size of 3 mm or more may be included. Also, at this time, the interval may be set within the range according to the hardness of the horse mackerel and the supply amount.

[0015] A precision crushing type crusher is generally used for atomizing solids in fluid foods such as purees, sauces, soups and the like to form colloidal liquids. The structure of this precision crushing type crusher has a rotor in which a center portion of the casing is a drive shaft and a free hammer is mounted in a casing in which a stator and a screen are mounted on an inner surface.

The principle by which the shredder can be obtained by this precision crusher is as follows. That is, the soybean supplied to the precision crusher is rebounded by the impact struck by the high-speed rotating hammer against the stator and the wavy irregularities of the stator, and is subjected to a cutting action by the gap between the convex portion and the hammer. By repeating the impact and the cutting action, solids in the liquid are shredded. And by collecting the shreds discharged through the screen,
A shredded bladder having a predetermined major axis is obtained. Specific examples of the precision crusher include an Ultramizer (manufactured by Seikensha Corporation) and an atomizer (manufactured by Tokyo Atomizer Manufacturing Co., Ltd.).

In a preferred embodiment in the case of grinding using a precision crusher, the crusher used is a precision crusher, and the number of hammers installed in the crusher is 4 to 8. Is an example. If the number of accompanying hammers is too large, the long diameter of the chopped sugar will be too fine, and if it is too small, it will take time to pass through the screen and the throughput will be reduced. For this reason, the number may be set appropriately within the range according to the hardness and the supply amount of the target corn.

The screen of each of the above-mentioned mills used at the time of milling has a hole diameter of 1 to 2 mm.
It becomes easy to make the long diameter of the shredded shreds after processing. In particular, if the hole diameter is in the range of 1.4 to 1.6 mm, it becomes easier to obtain a shredded piece having a predetermined long diameter (1 to 3 mm).

It is considered that physical shrinkage caused by rotation of a blade or a hammer is deeply involved in the shredding of the soybean by the above-mentioned grinding treatment. In particular, in shredding in a cylindrical sieve-type crusher, it is considered that the influence of shearing force due to the fact that the sapon is caught between the screen and the hammer is large. On the other hand, it is considered that the screen makes the major axis of the shredder uniform. However, passing through a sac of a large diameter larger than the screen pore diameter may cause clogging, and if the screen pore diameter is too small, clogging may occur, or the yield or efficiency may be extremely reduced. Other factors are also associated with shredding, suggesting that processing conditions may also affect shredding mechanisms. For this reason, in order to manufacture the shredded bladder of the present invention, it is necessary to set delicate conditions while conducting tests and the like.

In obtaining the shredded pulp of the present invention, the pulp material other than the pulp, that is, pulp of the citrus fruits such as the epithelium, albedo, and other fruits, is mixed with the desired long diameter. This is not a problem, as you can get a chance. In other words, even if the epithelial membrane or the like is contaminated during feeding, if the amount is up to about 50% by weight, more preferably up to about 30% by weight, the desired flavored fine shreds are obtained. You can get a baby.

Conversely, pulp substances other than sorghum, such as ground apple and other fruit pulp, may be separately added at the time of dispersing or milling. Most preferably, it is performed at the time of compounding. At this time, the amount of pulp other than the pulp is preferably 50% by weight, more preferably up to about 30% by weight, so as not to impair the flavor of the shredded pulp.

The shreds obtained as described above are:
As described above, those having a major axis of 1 to 3 mm are shredded so as to be 35% or more, and those having a longer diameter to be 10% or less. Such shredded sandals give a fresh texture with a feeling of fruit juice, richness, and sharpness, while retaining the flavor of the flowers. On the other hand, if the major axis is shorter than this, the fruit juice will be inferior in juice to the original one. Conversely, if the major axis is longer than this, the throat tends to deteriorate.

Further, when the length of the sac is longer than the shred sac of the present invention, there is a possibility of causing liquid leakage when filling the paper container as a beverage, and there is a possibility that the filling nozzle or the sterilization plate may be leaked. There is a risk of clogging, which is not preferable in terms of production.

It is believed that the leakage of the paper container, especially due to the addition of syrup, depends on the size of the fiber, though it depends on the hardness of the fiber. For example, orange salmon is usually about 10 to 20 mm, and if this is floating in the fruit juice, it fills in the horizontal seal when filling the paper container, and a sufficient seal cannot be made, resulting in a container failure. There are cases.

On the other hand, when the shredded soybeans of the present invention are used for beverages, the size of the shredders is small, and the above-mentioned problem in production can be solved.

The food containing food of the present invention can be in various forms without any particular limitation. For example, juice, juice drinks, natural drinks containing juice,
Fruit juice drinks, fruit flavor beverages, beverages such as fermented milk, tablets, confectionery, chewing gum, gummy, candies and other foods, etc., according to these forms, shredded shrimp various food ingredients, For example, water, various fruit juices and sugars, sugar substitute sweetness, minerals, dairy products, thickeners, stabilizers, and the like can be added and blended.

[0027]

EXAMPLES Next, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to examples, test examples and comparative examples, but the present invention is not limited to these examples.

Test Example 1 Representative major diameter and actual distribution of chopped sano-san: 10 kg of Valencia orange sano-pulp (pulp cell) was shredded using an ultramizer (precision crushing type pulverizer). . The treatment conditions were such that the amount of water added was 10 kg, the number of hammers, and the pore size of the screen were set as shown in Table 1 below.

0.3 g of the shreds obtained under each condition were sampled on a commercially available plastic petri dish (8.5 cmφ), diluted and dispersed with 6 g of water, and containing 100 or more pulp. It was visually determined which major diameter was particularly noticeable, and this was used as a representative major diameter. Then, the same samples were accurately classified into the classes shown in Table 1 using a microscope, and indicated by the ratio of the number thereof. Table 1 shows the results.

[0030]

[Table 1]

As a result, the size of the hole diameter of the screen,
The major axis size of the shredder was not necessarily proportional. The ratio of the major axis size of 1 mm or less did not change so much depending on the screen.

In the relationship between the representative major axis and the actual major axis distribution visually, the larger the major axis is, the more conspicuous the eye is, but even if the major axis is large, the ratio is one.
It was found that if it is less than 0%, it becomes inconspicuous, and the next-sized group, which occupies a relatively large proportion (depending on the degree of chopping, but 35% or more for 1-3 mm) becomes noticeable. . Considering the tendency of the smaller size to be less noticeable to the naked eye, it was considered that the distribution of the major axis could be roughly grasped by visually confirming the representative major axis. That is, in the actual long diameter distribution when the representative long diameter is 1 to 3 mm by visual observation, those having a length of 3 mm or more are less than 10% and 1 to 3 mm.
Is determined to be at least 35% or more.

Further, the above six samples were subjected to a sensory evaluation by a specialized panelist.
m and 2-3 mm (screen size 1.5 m
m and 2.0 mm) had the most preferred flavor.

Test Example 2 Sliced Sano and its Sensory Evaluation: (1) Sliced by Ultramizer (precision crusher) 10 kg of Valencia Orange Sano (pulp cell)
Was shredded using an Ultramizer having processing conditions set as shown in Table 1 below. About the obtained shredded soybean, a panelist specialized in throat, tongue sensation, and fruit juice
Sensory evaluation was performed by 0 persons according to the following criteria. Table 2 shows the results. The result of the sensory evaluation is an average value of 10 panelists, and the representative major axis of the treated sono indicates the value of the major axis of the so-called sono. Processing sections 2 to 6 and 9 correspond to Test Example 1.

(Sensory Evaluation Criteria) Rating Contents 1 Very good feeling of sedation, tongue texture and fruit juice. 2 Smoothness, tongue sensation, and fruit juice are slightly better. 3 Soreness, sensation of tongue and juice are common. 4 Soreness, tongue sensation and fruit juice are slightly poor. 5 Nose feeling, bad tongue sensation and juice feeling.

From Table 2, it can be seen that the representative major diameter of the shredded bladder is 1-3.
It was found that the flavor was particularly good when it was within the range of mm. In addition, when the amount of water was large, the major axis of the shredder tended to be short.

(2) Shredding by pulper (cylindrical sieve-type pulverizer) As in (1), 10 kg of Valencia orange pulp (pulp cell) was used.
, And shredded. Further, the sensory evaluation of the obtained shredded bladder was performed by 10 specialized panelists in the same manner as in Test Example 2. Table 3 shows the results.

From Table 3, it can be seen that the representative major diameter of the shredded bladder is 1-3.
It was found that when the average particle size was within the range of mm, a good flavor was obtained. The screen has a hole diameter of 0.5 mm, 5 mm or less.
A similar experiment was carried out with a diameter of 0.5 mm. However, when the diameter was 0.5 mm, clogging occurred, and when the diameter was 5 mm, only long pieces having a long diameter could be obtained. Further, when the space between the screen and the plate is slightly widened more than 7 mm, the major axis tends to be shorter. In addition, when the distribution of the representative major axis and the actual major axis of the shredded bladder obtained by the pulper treatment was examined in the same manner as in Test Example 1, almost the same tendency was observed.
