Description

塩味増強剤、塩味増強用油脂組成物、飲食品の塩味増強方法、及び塩味増強剤の製造方法Salt taste enhancer, oil / fat composition for salt taste enhancer, salt taste enhancer method for foods and drinks, and method for producing salt taste enhancer
 本発明は、食品の塩味を増強する技術に関する。 The present invention relates to a technique for enhancing the saltiness of food.
 食塩は食品に塩味を付与してその美味しさを増強してくれる調味料であるとともに、身体を正常に機能させるために重要な役割を担う栄養素でもある。一方で、食塩の過剰摂取は、高血圧、心疾患、脳卒中、胃がん等の誘発の原因になると考えられている。そこで、食塩の使用量を低減しつつ塩味を損なわない減塩食品や減塩調味料の開発が進められている。例えば、特許文献1には、アルギニン及び/又はその塩、乳酸及び/又はその塩、並びにグルコン酸及び/又はその塩を原料に所定量添加する、塩味の増強された飲食品の製造方法が開示されている。 Salt is a seasoning that adds salt to food and enhances its deliciousness, and is also a nutrient that plays an important role in the normal functioning of the body. On the other hand, excessive intake of salt is considered to be a cause of induction of hypertension, heart disease, stroke, gastric cancer and the like. Therefore, the development of low-salt foods and low-salt seasonings that do not impair the salty taste while reducing the amount of salt used is being promoted. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a method for producing a food or drink with enhanced saltiness, in which a predetermined amount of arginine and / or a salt thereof, lactic acid and / or a salt thereof, and gluconic acid and / or a salt thereof are added to a raw material. Has been done.

 その結果、表7上段の官能評価の結果に示されるように、菜種油に所定の酸化処理を施して得られた酸化油脂による、めんつゆの塩味を増強する効果は、酸化の程度が大きいほど高くなる傾向がみられた。また、表7下段の官能評価の結果に示されるように、ラードに所定の酸化処理を施して得られた酸化油脂についても、めんつゆの塩味を増強する効果は、酸化の程度が大きいほど高くなる傾向がみられた。 As a result, as shown in the results of the sensory evaluation in the upper part of Table 7, the effect of enhancing the saltiness of the noodle soup by the oxidized fat obtained by subjecting the rapeseed oil to a predetermined oxidation treatment becomes higher as the degree of oxidation increases. There was a tendency. Further, as shown in the results of the sensory evaluation in the lower part of Table 7, the effect of enhancing the salty taste of mentsuyu also increases with respect to the oxidized fats and oils obtained by subjecting lard to a predetermined oxidation treatment, as the degree of oxidation increases. There was a tendency.
 <試験例6>
 サンプルとして調製例2で調製した酸化油脂3又は酸化油脂7に替え、また、酸化油脂を希釈するベース油として菜種油、大豆油、又はコーン油を用いた以外、試験例1と同様にして、塩味増強効果について調べた。なお、めんつゆに対するサンプルの終濃度は50ppmに調製して試験した。
<Test Example 6>
As a sample, rapeseed oil, soybean oil, or corn oil was used as the base oil for diluting the oxidized fat and oil instead of the oxidized fat and oil 3 or the oxidized fat and oil 7 prepared in Preparation Example 2, and the salty taste was the same as in Test Example 1. We investigated the enhancing effect. The final concentration of the sample for mentsuyu was adjusted to 50 ppm and tested.

 その結果、表8の上から第2段の官能評価の結果に示されるように、菜種油に所定の酸化処理を施して得られた酸化油脂による、めんつゆの塩味を増強する効果は、酸化油脂を希釈して試験油を調製するベース油を菜種油から大豆油やコーン油に替えた場合も、同様に、その塩味増強効果が認められた。また、表8の最下段の官能評価の結果に示されるように、ラードに所定の酸化処理を施して得られた酸化油脂について、めんつゆの塩味を増強する効果は、酸化油脂を希釈して試験油を調製するベース油を菜種油から大豆油やコーン油に替えた場合も、同様に、その塩味増強効果が認められた。 As a result, as shown in the results of the second-stage sensory evaluation from the top of Table 8, the effect of enhancing the saltiness of the noodle soybean by the oxidized fat obtained by subjecting the rapeseed oil to a predetermined oxidation treatment is to increase the oxidized fat. When the base oil for which the test oil was diluted was changed from rapeseed oil to soybean oil or corn oil, the effect of enhancing the saltiness was similarly observed. Further, as shown in the results of the sensory evaluation at the bottom of Table 8, the effect of enhancing the saltiness of corn oil with respect to the oxidized fat and oil obtained by subjecting lard to a predetermined oxidation treatment was tested by diluting the oxidized fat and oil. Similarly, when the base oil for preparing the oil was changed from rapeseed oil to soybean oil or corn oil, the effect of enhancing the saltiness was observed.
