Description

Splice formation inhibitor

Techniques relating to thickening polysaccharide thickeners and thickeners are disclosed.

Thickening polysaccharides are used in various technical fields. In the food field, for example, they are used as thickeners for imparting thickness to foods and drinks. Such thickeners are used not only to adjust the viscosity of foods and drinks and change the texture in accordance with general consumer preferences, but also to prevent aspiration of food and drinks by elderly people and the like. ing. Thickeners used for such purposes are also known as thickening foods.

Many types of thickening polysaccharides used as thickeners in the food field are known, including xanthan gum and guar gum. Xanthan gum and the like have excellent characteristics such as rapid thickening and low stickiness. On the other hand, xanthan gum has low dispersibility, and when added to water in the form of a powder, only its surface dissolves, and the inside remains in powder form, forming a so-called “dama (spice, stepchild)”. It is easy and does not disperse uniformly in water, and has a side surface that forms a gel-like lump in part.

As means for improving the problems caused by low dispersibility of xanthan gum and the like, Patent Document 1 discloses a technique for binding a potassium salt to the surface of powdered xanthan gum and the like. Patent Document 2 discloses a technique of adding poly-γ-glutamic acid or a salt thereof.

WO2006 / 095756 JP2009-95341

There is room for improvement in the technology for improving the dispersibility of conventional xanthan gum and the like in water as described above. For example, in the means disclosed in Patent Document 1, although dispersibility of xanthan gum in water is improved by the use of potassium salt, in foods and drinks to which thickening has been imparted, especially water and other beverages, it is caused by potassium salt. It was difficult to maintain the original flavor of food and drink, accompanied by a specific unpleasant flavor (for example, bitterness). Further, in the means disclosed in Patent Document 2, although poly-γ-glutamic acid suppresses the formation of a step (powder) at the time of dissolution of the thickening polysaccharide, it is unique in foods and drinks with thickening. Stickiness (yarning) was strongly developed, and the original fresh texture of food and drink was impaired.

As a result of intensive studies to solve the problems represented by the above, it was found that the dispersibility of the thickening polysaccharide can be improved to the same or higher level than the potassium salt by using lysine, aspartic acid or a salt thereof. . In addition, by using the amino acid or a salt thereof in place of the potassium salt, it has been found that it is possible to impart a thickness to the food and drink without imparting a unique flavor derived from the potassium salt to the food and drink.

5). Manufacturing method of thickener The manufacturing method of the thickener containing at least 1 type selected from the group which consists of lysine, aspartic acid, and these salts, and a thickening polysaccharide is arbitrary. For example, it is possible to obtain a thickener by mixing at least one selected from the group consisting of lysine, aspartic acid and salts thereof, a thickening polysaccharide and, if necessary, dextrin. This mixing may be performed in powder form or in an aqueous solution (liquid). The order of mixing the components is arbitrary.

By blending dextrin in the aqueous solution, lysine, aspartic acid, or a salt thereof can be easily bound to the thickening polysaccharide.

The conditions for preparing the aqueous solution are not particularly limited, and can be adjusted, for example, at normal pressure and normal temperature. The pH of the aqueous solution is not particularly limited, but is 3 to 8, for example. From the viewpoint of the flavor compatibility between the aqueous solution and lysine, aspartic acid, or a salt thereof, 4 to 7.5 is preferable.

The aqueous solution can be sprayed onto the thickening polysaccharide by any means, but it is preferable to spray the aqueous solution uniformly onto the thickening polysaccharide.

The moisture content of the dried thickening polysaccharide is, for example, 8% by weight or less from the viewpoint of more effectively exhibiting the effect of improving dispersibility and storage stability. It is preferably 7% by weight or less, and more preferably 6% by weight or less.

The aqueous solution may be sprayed only on the thickening polysaccharide, but the aqueous solution is preferably sprayed on the mixture of the thickening polysaccharide and dextrin. Moreover, you may contain arbitrary other components in this mixture, as long as the characteristic of a thickener and a spatter formation inhibitory effect (action) are not inhibited. In this mixture, the (blending) ratio of the thickening polysaccharide and the dextrin is not particularly limited as long as the properties of the thickener and the suppression effect on the pollen are not inhibited. For example, the ratio is polysaccharide thickener: dextrin = 1-3: 1-5 in terms of dry weight. From the viewpoint of dispersibility, the ratio is preferably 1 to 2: 1 to 5.

The amount of the aqueous solution sprayed onto the thickening polysaccharide or the mixture is not particularly limited as long as a desired pollen formation inhibitory effect (action) is obtained. For example, the ratio of the thickening polysaccharide or the mixture to the aqueous solution is 20 to 30 parts by weight (aqueous solution) with respect to 80 to 90 parts by weight (the thickening polysaccharide or mixture). *

EXAMPLES Hereinafter, although an Example demonstrates this invention further in detail, this invention is not restrict | limited to these.
Production Example 1: Preparation of thickener (potassium chloride, lysine, glycine)

Further, 8 parts by weight of dextrin was dissolved in 15 parts by weight of water, and then 1 part by weight of potassium chloride was added and dissolved to obtain a binder liquid. Using a granulating device (SFC-LABO, manufactured by Freund Sangyo Co., Ltd.) A thickener (formulation 1) was obtained.

As shown in Table 1, the same procedure as in Formula 1 except that the amount of dextrin contained in the mixed powder was changed to 56 parts by weight and the potassium chloride compounded in the binder solution was changed to 3 parts by weight of lysine hydrochloride. Thus, a thickener (formulation 2) was obtained.

As shown in Table 1, a thickener (Formulation 3) was obtained in the same manner as Formula 1 except that the potassium chloride blended in the binder solution was changed to 1 part by weight of glycine.

Test Example 1: Evaluation of thickening and dispersibility For each thickener obtained in Production Example 1 using the following evaluation method, the expression of thickening (viscosity) and dispersibility (suppressing effect of spatter formation) ) Was evaluated. It is desirable that the thickener has a fast expression of tromi, no formation of lumps, and a small amount of lumps (if formed) in predetermined water or salt water.

Evaluation method of expression of thickness (viscosity) Prepare 100 g of ion-exchanged water in a glass beaker (100 ml volume), add 3 g of thickener at room temperature, and stir for 20 seconds with a plastic medicine sag. After standing for a minute, the water viscosity was measured. When the water viscosity was 5000 mPa · s or more, it was evaluated that the thickening was good.

Prepare 100 g of saline (2% by weight) in a glass beaker (100 ml volume), add 3 g of thickener, stir for 20 seconds with a plastic jar, leave for 5 minutes, The viscosity was measured. When the salt water viscosity was 1500 mPa · s or more, it was evaluated that the expression of thickening in the salt water was good.

Water viscosity and brine viscosity were measured using a B-type viscometer (rotation speed: 12 rpm, rotation time: 30 seconds, rotor: M3, manufactured by Toki Sangyo Co., Ltd.).

Dispersibility evaluation method In a glass beaker (100 ml), prepare 100 g of saline (0.025% by weight), add 2 g of thickener, let stand for 2 seconds, magnetic stirrer (stirrer) After stirring for 10 seconds at a bar length of 4 cm), the state of lumps was confirmed. And the dispersibility of a thickener was evaluated in four steps shown in Table 2. The dispersibility of each thickener was evaluated in triplicate.

Table 3 shows the evaluation results regarding the expression of thickening for Formulas 1 to 3, and Table 4 shows the evaluation results regarding dispersibility. In addition, for Formulations 1 to 3, photographs taken from above of the solutions in which the respective thickeners are dispersed are shown in FIG.

As shown in Tables 3 and 4 and FIG. 1, the thickener of Formula 2 blended with lysine has good thickening and dispersibility as well as the thickener of Formula 1 blended with potassium chloride. It was confirmed. On the other hand, it was confirmed that the thickener of Formulation 3 blended with glycine instead of potassium chloride has a good expression of thickness, but a dama with a diameter of 10 mm or more is formed and the dispersibility is not sufficiently improved. It was done. From these results, it was confirmed that, in the thickener, by using lysine instead of potassium chloride, a thickening adjustment (giving) action equivalent to that of potassium chloride and a spatter formation inhibiting action can be obtained.

Production Example 2: Preparation of thickener (aspartic acid)
As shown in Table 5, 54 parts by weight of dextrin and 33 parts by weight of xanthan gum were mixed to obtain a mixed powder. Further, 8 parts by weight of dextrin was dissolved in 15 parts by weight of water, and then 5 parts by weight of sodium aspartate monohydrate was added and dissolved to obtain a binder liquid. In the same manner as in Production Example 1, the mixed powder of dextrin and xanthan gum was granulated while spraying the binder liquid (total amount) onto the mixed powder of dextrin and xanthan gum to obtain a thickener (formulation 4).

As shown in Table 5, 57 parts by weight of dextrin and 33 parts by weight of xanthan gum were mixed to obtain a mixed powder. Further, 8 parts by weight of dextrin was dissolved in 15 parts by weight of water, and then 2 parts by weight of sodium aspartate monohydrate was added and dissolved to obtain a binder liquid. In the same manner as in Production Example 1, a binder liquid (total amount) was sprayed onto a mixed powder of dextrin and xanthan gum to obtain a thickener (formulation 5).

As shown in Table 5, the formulation was changed except that the amount of dextrin contained in the mixed powder was changed to 58 parts by weight and the amount of sodium aspartate monohydrate contained in the binder solution was changed to 1 part by weight. In the same manner as in Example 4, a thickener (formulation 6) was obtained.

As shown in Table 5, the blending amount of dextrin contained in the mixed powder is changed to 59 parts by weight and the blending amount of xanthan gum to 32.5 parts by weight, and the blending amount of sodium aspartate monohydrate blended in the binder liquid A thickener (Formulation 7) was obtained in the same manner as Formulation 4 except that was changed to 0.5 parts by weight.

Test Example 2: Evaluation of Thickness Expression and Dispersibility For each thickener obtained in Production Example 2 using the same evaluation method as in Test Example 1, expression of thickness (viscosity) and dispersibility (seed formation) The inhibitory effect was evaluated. The results are shown in Tables 6 and 7.

As shown in Tables 6 and 7, it was confirmed that the expression of thickness was good regardless of the amount of aspartic acid. On the other hand, it was confirmed that the dispersibility was improved as the amount of aspartic acid was increased.

Test Example 3: Flavor Evaluation Regarding the thickener (prescription 8) produced in the same manner as in prescription 4, except that the thickener of prescription 4 and the aspartic acid monohydrate of prescription 4 were changed to potassium chloride, According to the procedure, the influence on the flavor was evaluated.

Thickening water was obtained by adding the thickener of prescription 4 or prescription 8 to ion exchange water at 3% by weight and then stirring to impart thickness to the ion exchange water. Seven expert panels ingested thick water and evaluated the aftertaste and salty taste according to the following evaluation system.

Aftertaste evaluation: Based on the aftertaste when the thickener of formula 4 was used, the thickener of formula 8 was evaluated in the following five stages (5; obviously reduced, 4; slightly reduced) 3; same 2; somewhat strong 1; obviously strong).

Evaluation of salty taste: Based on the salty taste when the thickener of formula 4 was used as a reference, the thickener of formula 8 was evaluated in the following five stages (5: obviously strong, 4: slightly strong, 3: same, 2: Slightly reduced, 1: Clearly reduced).

The evaluation of the aftertaste when using the thickener of formula 8 is 1.3 on average, and the aftertaste is significant (P <0) in the thickener of formula 4 compared to formula 8 using potassium chloride. .05). In addition, the average salty taste when the thickener of formula 8 is used is 3.9, and the salty taste is significant in the thickener of formula 4 compared to formula 8 using potassium chloride (P <0.05) was confirmed.
