Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for sterilizing a food product with a low water content, naturally or artificially contaminated. It also relates to the essentially sterile food products obtained and the food compositions containing said food products.
  • ingredients and foods with a low water content can enter into the composition of food products.
  • These are for example chocolate, sugars (sucrose or others), dried fruits (hazelnuts, almonds ...), dried fruits (banana chips %), cookies or other cereal products, powders (milk and derivatives, mixtures of powdery ingredients %), spices ...
  • non-sterile ingredients can affect the commercial and hygienic quality of the finished products.
  • the addition of chocolate can contaminate the finished product, in particular by spore-forming bacteria; the same applies to the addition of sugar or hazelnuts to a fresh product which does not support final sterilization.
  • aqueous compositions contain compounds which by nature are contaminated, in particular chocolate, the bacteria present in the solid particles, in contact with water, develop which leads to the contamination of the aqueous composition and affects the microbiological stability. of it.
  • European patent EP-B-615 692 describes, for example, a method of sterilizing chocolate by heating at a temperature between 110 and 130 ° C for 10 to 30 minutes. This process only sterilizes chocolate because of the low sugar content ( ⁇ 10%).
  • European patent application EP-A-770 332 describes a similar sterilization process in which the chocolate mass is heated to a temperature in the region of 125 ° C for 5 to 10 minutes.
  • such methods only lead to limited sterilization of the order of log 2, that is to say that the quantity of contaminating microorganisms, in particular spore-forming bacteria, is reduced by only 100.
  • the invention relates firstly to a method of sterilizing a food product with a low water content, naturally or artificially contaminated, characterized in that the activity of water (Aw) of said food product is raised to a value greater than about 0.7 preferably greater than 0.8, in that the hydrated food product is subjected to a thermal sterilization step and in that the water is removed so as to recover a food product with a low essentially sterile water content, which presents a contamination, in particular in spore-forming bacteria, at least 1000 times less (3 log) than the contaminated starting product, in particular less than 1 CFU / g.
  • the activity of the water is raised to a value greater than 0.87, in particular between 0.9 and 0.96.
  • this entire process is carried out by batch in the same tank.
  • the invention makes it possible in particular to obtain a reduction in microorganisms, between 3 and 12 log (1000 to 10 12 times less), in particular between 3 and 9 log, and preferably at least 5 log on sporulated bacteria advantageously at least 6 log. Taking into account the initial contamination of the ingredients (100 to 10,000 sporulated per gram approximately), this makes it possible to obtain a "essentially sterile" product containing less than 1 CFU / g, preferably less than 1 CFU / 100g and preferably less than 1 CFU / kg.
  • the water activity of a product is a concept that is well known in the food sector, this quantity, abbreviated Aw, measures the availability of water in a sample. In most cases, this water activity is not proportional to the water content of the product.
  • a fruit yoghurt has 82% water and has an Aw equal to 0.99; the lean fresh cheese contains 87% water and has an Aw equal to 0.99.
  • the methods for measuring the Aw of a product are known to those skilled in the art. Aw is generally measured at 25 ° C.
  • the invention relates more particularly to the sterilization of products whose Aw is less than about 0.6 and in particular of the order of about 0.4; mention may be made of chocolate or the like; the dried fruit ; sugars, dried fruit, cookies or other cereal products, powders (milks and derivatives, mixtures of powdery ingredients) and spices.
  • One of the advantages of the process according to the invention is that it greatly reduces contamination by spore-forming bacteria. It is known in fact that conventional pasteurization processes make it possible to eliminate vegetative bacteria and not spore-forming bacteria.
  • chocolate analog is intended to mean any fatty mass of confectionery containing a continuous fatty phase consisting of one or more fatty substances of vegetable or animal origin and the properties of which are either similar to those of cocoa butter (generally called icing pastes or "compound"), or plastics at 20 ° C (spreads, fatty fillings and pralines). It is also possible to replace the sugar (sucrose) with a well-known sweetening agent of the polyol or acesulfame K type. The non-fatty cocoa solids which have been replaced at least in part by usual constituents in chocolate confectionery are also included in the definition " analogues of chocolate ".
  • the method according to the invention will be particularly suitable for the treatment of dark chocolate.
  • This is legally defined and generally includes at least 30% cocoa (in the form of dry and defatted cocoa and / or cocoa butter), including at least 2.5% of dry and defatted cocoa; the quantity of milk powder is less than or equal to 5%.
  • the invention is also suitable for obtaining different kinds of milk chocolate or white chocolate, essentially sterile.
  • white chocolate generally contains 30 to 35% cocoa butter, but does not contain dry and defatted cocoa.
  • Water can be added pure, or via aqueous compounds, such as for example milk (skimmed or not, concentrated or not), cream or other dairy derivatives, fruit juices ...
  • Aw is measured as follows and is called Aw equivalent:
  • the proportion of water corresponding to the total humidity which will be added at the end of the sterilization stage is added to the product with a low water content. Agitation is carried out for 15 min at 50 ° C., avoiding any evaporation, and the mixture is left to stand at 20 ° C. in a closed bottle containing little head space. After 24 hours, the product is reduced to a fine powder or is mixed (depending on its consistency) and its Aw is measured at 25 ° C. on a conventional device of the Aqualab CX-2 or Decagon type.
  • the increase in the activity of water is effected by simple hydration by the aqueous phase.
  • the mixing is carried out in an appropriate proportion to obtain an Aw at 25 ° C greater than about 0.7, preferably greater than 0.8, preferably greater than 0.87.
  • Very fatty dried fruits which absorb little water, can preferably bathe in an excess of water, which will then be drained after sterilization and before evaporation.
  • the modulation of the fat content makes it possible to avoid too high a viscosity during hydration or dehydration.
  • the intensity of the rheological peak is also correlated with the fat content of chocolate or the like.
  • the viscosity of the water + chocolate mixture decreases with the increase in the fat content.
  • the texture of the mixture of water and chocolate is no longer a liquid paste but a powder.
  • the chocolate + water mixture can therefore take different textures, depending on the fat of the dry chocolate: if the fat is between 28 and 48%, the mixture is a very viscous, almost solid paste; for a fat content of less than 28%, the product rather has the consistency of a powder, easier to mix; if the fat content is more than 48%, the mixture remains very fluid.

  • the process for sterilizing a food product with a low water content is characterized in that the water activity of the chocolate or the like is raised to a value greater than about 0.87 by kneading d a chocolate or the like containing about less than 28% by weight of fat or by kneading a chocolate or the like containing about more than 48% by weight of fat with an aqueous phase so as to obtain a homogeneous paste.
  • degassing is preferably carried out followed by a sterilization step at a temperature generally between 100 and 150 ° C, for an appropriate time, in particular 1 to 10 minutes.
  • the hydration is done by adding in one go all the amount of water necessary to reach the target Aw.

  • the hydrated and degassed product will advantageously be heated, before sterilization, for 10 minutes at 80 ° C., then from 20 to 60 minutes between 30 and 37 ° C., in particular to promote the homogeneous distribution of Aw in the product, which will improve the effectiveness of sterilization, especially if it is done without steam injection, or also in the case of pieces.
  • a person skilled in the art will adapt the value of Aw, the temperature and the duration of the treatment, according to the ingredients, the nature of the contamination and the material.
  • the same level of sterilization can be achieved with a different combination of these parameters. For example, if the Aw of the product to be sterilized is increased, the time / temperature pair can be reduced.
  • the treatment can be carried out at an Aw close to 0.65.
  • the process involves treatment at 125-130 ° C for 4 minutes at 1.8 hours (preferably for 5 to 30 minutes), or at a temperature of 145-150 ° C for about 30 seconds to 5 minutes, especially from 30 to 60 seconds, preferably 1 to 5 minutes.
  • the sterilization time is generally between 15 seconds and 4 min, for a temperature of around 125 to 135 ° C and an Aw greater than 0.9.
