Description

LIQUID PASTE CONDITIONER FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to liquid compositions for performing a stabilizing function and a paste conditioning function, and to a process for the preparation of a paste using improved compositions and also to a process for the preparation of a baked product using such pasta. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION It will be understood by a person skilled in the art that pasta conditioners (i.e., bread improvers) typically used in the preparation of baked pasta products are generally provided in a dry form (e.g. tablet) or as an emulsifier-based liquid composition which comprises a lipid carrier. A problem associated with both forms of the pasta conditioner is that they are relatively difficult to pump and dose which, in turn, complicates their use in the mass production of pasta and baked pasta products. Additionally, the dry forms of the paste conditioner can result in a dust effect which can cause allergic reactions. Also, oil-based conditioners undesirably increase the fat content of a product and, additionally, the Ref.:168661 Emulsifier content tends to thicken the fluid, cause instability at temperatures above 35 ° C and result in excessive viscosity at temperatures below 10 ° C. The aqueous compositions are perhaps a preferred form of pulp conditioner since their carrier is not expensive (water), low in fat and results in a non-dusty product. Aqueous paste conditioner solutions can also be easily pumped and dosed which allows a convenient mass production of pasta products. However, aqueous solutions or suspensions of a paste conditioner are unstable due to the denaturation / decomposition of the ascorbic acid (used as an oxidant) and enzymatic systems used as the active ingredients. This instability also tends to increase with room temperature. Due to minimum half-life requirements, the use of aqueous compositions of paste conditioners has not been practical in the past. However, in the application WO 02/26044 A2, a liquid bread-improving composition comprising one or more polyols in an aqueous solution is described. Polyols decrease water activity to such a degree that processes slow down which inactivate enzymes and degrade ascorbic acid and microbial infections. As a result, the half-life of the composition is increased.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide improved aqueous compositions of pulp conditioners, and associated products, and a process for preparing the same. A first aspect of the present invention provides a liquid composition which comprises one or more enzymes, an oxidant and a water soluble antioxidant. Ideally, the water-soluble antioxidant is sulfur dioxide or sulfur dioxide generator. Preferably the water soluble antioxidant is sodium metabisulfite. The composition can be characterized by a content of sodium metabisulfite of up to 1.0% by weight. Additionally, the composition can be characterized by a sodium metabisulfite content of about 0.1% by weight. The composition may also ideally comprise a water-soluble alkali, preferably sodium hydroxide. The composition may also comprise a hydrocolloid, an emulsifier (for example sodium stearoyl lactylate), a polysaccharide (for example starch) or other means for increasing the viscosity of the composition. The emulsifier must be of a food grade. The hydrocolloid can be Xanthan gum. The enzyme (s) may comprise lipase and the oxidant (i.e. oxidizing agent) is ideally ascorbic acid.
A second aspect of the present invention provides a process for preparing the liquid composition mentioned above, wherein the water soluble antioxidant is added to the water before the oxidant is added to the water. The water ideally comprises dissolved sugar and / or dissolved salt (which is preferably added to the water prior to the addition of the antioxidant). After the water-soluble antioxidant is added (and preferably after the oxidant is added), it is preferable that a water-soluble alkali, ideally sodium hydroxide solution, is added. The alkali may be added to increase the pH to about 3.0 to 8.0, preferably 4.0 to 5.0, and more preferably to 4.5. Preferably, after the alkali is added, one or more enzymes are added. Also, after one or more enzymes are added, it is preferable that a hydrocolloid be added. The oxidant can be ascorbic acid. A third aspect of the present invention relates to the use of a water soluble antioxidant to stabilize a liquid paste conditioner composition which comprises one or more enzymes and ascorbic acid. A fourth aspect of the present invention provides a paste prepared by mixing flour, yeast, water and an effective amount of any of the compositions mentioned above.
A fifth aspect of the present invention provides a process for preparing a paste which comprises mixing flour, yeast, water and an effective amount of any of the above-mentioned compositions.This process ideally comprises the step of separately adding a fluid emulsifier (ideally as specifically mentioned herein) to the mixture of flour, yeast, water and amount of composition A sixth aspect of the present invention provides a baked product prepared by baking the aforementioned dough according to the fourth aspect of the present invention or Prepared by the aforementioned process according to the first aspect of the present invention A seventh aspect of the present invention relates to the use of the liquid composition mentioned above, according to the first aspect of the present invention, as a microbial stabilizing agent. An additional aspect of this invention relates to the use of the liquid composition mentioned above, according to the first aspect of the present invention, as a microbial stabilizing agent.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION One embodiment of the present invention will now be described. A 0.25% aqueous solution of paste conditioner according to the present invention can be prepared. As an alternative for sodium metabisulfite, one of the following can be used: sulfur dioxide, sodium sulfite, sodium hydrogen sulfite, potassium metabisulfite, calcium sulfite and hydrogen sulfide and calcium. When the antioxidant is selected, local legislation on food additives must of course be considered. The sugar, salt and sodium metabisulfite are dissolved in the water by agitation. The sugar and salt can each be added in the amount of 10-40% by weight. However, in tests, a solution with 23% by weight of sugar, 20% by weight of salt and 57% by weight of water has been used. Alternatively, either salt or sugar can be omitted. In this case, where only salt is used, an amount of 30-35% by weight, with 36% by weight as the ideal, is preferable. However, where only sugar is used, the preferred amount is 40-70% by weight, with 60% by weight as the ideal. The sodium metabisulfite is added in an amount of about 0.1% by weight (of the final liquid composition ready for use). Once the sodium metabisulfite has dissolved in the solution, the ascorbic acid can then be added and dissolved with agitation. It is important that the metabisulfite Sodium metabisulfite is added before the oxidant is added to ensure that the sodium metabisulfite can have an effect of oxygen purification in the water and therefore reduce the degradation of ascorbic acid. The pH of sodium metabisulfite and ascorbic acid solution will be approximately 1.0 to 3.0. This value should be verified as necessary using a calibrated pH meter. The pH of the solution is then adjusted to the value of 3.0 to 8.0 (preferably 4.0 to 5.0 and more preferably 4.5) by adding sodium hydroxide solution (or any other suitable food grade water soluble alkali). The required enzymes are then added and stirred completely in the solution. The proper enzymes will be apparent to the skilled reader. Is, however, particularly desirable to use one or more enzymes selected from a group consisting of lipase, lipoxygenase, amylase, hemicellulase, maltogenic amylase, phospholipase, beta-glucanase, amyloglucosidase, glucose oxidase, hexose oxidase, laccase and transglutaminase. The enzymes lipase and phospholipase have particular efficacy in relation to the present invention. A hydrocolloid (eg, Xanthan gum) is then added and the solution is stirred until a uniform gel is formed. The solution is ideally mixed with a high shear mixer.
The resulting aqueous fluid can then be stored at or below ambient temperature for later use as a pasta conditioner (bread improver composition). Indeed, in tests of the composition, it was discovered that the bread baked with pasta comprising a sample of six months of age of the composition is within the acceptable parameters. More specifically, the bread is baked from a paste mixed with directly added ascorbic acid and enzymes (the control mixture) and from a slurry mixed with 0.25% by weight aqueous pulp conditioner fluid (the test mixture). This is repeated periodically as the aqueous fluid aged at room temperature over a period of six months. The ingredients for the control and test mixtures are as follows.
The paste is mixed in a high speed mixer using 11 watt hours / kg.
The mixer is operated using a vacuum with a delay of 60 seconds. The paste is tested at 10 mm from the top of the dark bread. "Bread is baked at 500 ° F (260 ° C) for approximately 25 minutes." The bread is first baked from the control and test mixes one day after the preparation of the test mix. between the bread of the control mixture and the bread of the test mixture When the bread is prepared from a paste comprising approximately six months old aqueous fluid, it is found that the quality of the bread is acceptable when compared to bread baked from the fresh control mixture It will be understood by the skilled person that the sugar and salt in the aqueous fluid serve to protect the enzymes and microbiologically conserve the entire solution.It will also be understood that there is a tendency for the Ascorbic acid is oxidized with oxygen in the water and this causes an undesired degradation of the ascorbic acid.In order to reduce this degradation, a soluble food-grade antioxidant is initially added. e in water (preferably sulfur dioxide or an antioxidant which produces sulfur dioxide such as sodium metabisulfite) to behave like an oxygen scavenger. The solution of sodium hydroxide (or other alkaline food grade solution) is added for the purpose of adjusting the pH value and therefore increasing the stability of the solution that carries the enzyme. The enzymes that improve the paste are then added as necessary, followed by a hydrocolloid to thicken the solution, which acts as a suspension agent and also reduces the water activity. The liquid composition described above as a paste conditioner can be used in an alternative application to hamper the growth of bacteria in compositions. In other words, the liquid composition can also be used as a microbial stabilizing agent. The liquid composition can also be used in an additional alternative application to resist freezing. It has been discovered that, surprisingly, the composition maintained at -18 ° C does not freeze and maintains its behavior. It was also a surprise to find that the liquid composition is stable and does not separate at temperatures above 45 ° C. The present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. Alternative arrangements will be apparent to a reader skilled in the art. For example, although ascorbic acid is widely used in pasta conditioners and takes the In the role of an oxidant, other oxidants may be used where the legislation of food additives allows (for example, in the United States of America). Alternatives for ascorbic acid include potassium bromate, potassium iodate, calcium peroxide, and azodicarbonamide. Also, where permitted by the food additive legislation, alternative antioxidants may be used for those indicated above, for example, L-cysteine hydrochloride. It is noted that in relation to this date, the best method known to the applicant to carry out the aforementioned invention, is that which is clear from the present description of the invention.
