- the cocoa composition contains unbroken cocoa bean cells. Uncrushed means that the cell membrane is not crushed. Whether or not the target composition contains unbroken cocoa bean cells can be determined by observing with a microscope or the like whether or not the presence of cells surrounded by cell membranes can be confirmed. In addition, if the cocoa bean cells are uncrushed, lipids and proteins remain in the cells. It can be determined by whether or not the protein and lipid are located at the same location.
- the proportion of uncrushed cocoa bean cells in the cocoa bean cells contained in the cocoa composition is preferably high from the viewpoint of preventing the release of free fat from the cells.
- the ratio of uncrushed cocoa bean cells to cocoa bean cells can be calculated from the number of total cells and the number of uncrushed cocoa bean cells observed in a certain area by observing the processed cocoa bean product under a microscope. Specifically, the method is as follows. (1) Add 2 ml of water to 0.03 g of sample and stir, then add 0.5 ml of 0.01% methylene blue solution and stir. 450 times). (2) Obtain the area area (A) and the number of crushed cells (B) of the sample from the observation image or the photographed image using image analysis software as necessary.
- the number of crushed cells is obtained by visually selecting and counting the crushed cells contained in the area.
- Calculate the total cell number (D) by dividing the area area (A) by the area of one unbroken cell (C).
- the ratio (%) of unbroken cells in cocoa bean cells is calculated by the following formula. At this time, using 5 or more, preferably 10 or more, areas where the total number of cells (D) is in the range of 100 to 300, calculate the value for each by the following formula, and average the obtained values.

- Cocoa mass which is a common cocoa bean processed product, is usually finely pulverized to about 20 ⁇ m or less in the manufacturing process. Therefore, in cocoa mass, oils and fats, polyphenols, and the like are released from crushed cocoa bean cells.
- the cacao composition has the property that the oils and fats derived from cocoa beans and polyphenols are sealed in the cocoa bean cells whose cell membranes are not crushed, so that these components are less likely to seep out.
- the cocoa composition has a low free fat content per oil.
- free fat refers to fat present in the material in a free state. Free fat affects the fluidity, viscosity, etc. of chocolate. In addition, it is thought that oil tends to seep out from materials containing a large amount of free fat.
- the free fat content per oil component (sometimes simply called the free fat content)
- it is measured and calculated by the following method, unless otherwise specified. That is, it refers to the ratio (weight basis) of free fat to fats and oils contained in the target composition.
- Free fat content measurement (1) Put about 5g (a) of the sample into a 50ml centrifuge tube (2) Add 25ml of n-hexane (3) Shake 130 times/min for 3 minutes with an amplitude of 4 cm (4) Centrifugation at 3000 rpm, 4°C, 10 minutes (5) Measure the weight (b) of the 100ml Erlenmeyer flask (6) Transfer the supernatant from (4) above to a filter paper and filter, then collect the filtrate in a 100 ml Erlenmeyer flask.

なお本発明に関し、食品に含有される成分や素材の量を割合(%、又は部)で表す場合は、特に記載した場合を除き、重量(重量)に基づいている。
本発明に関し、冷凍菓子とは、アイスクリーム類及び氷菓の表示に関する公正競争規約(昭和55年4月9日公正取引委員会告示第10号)及び同施行規則に関わらず、フリージング工程(原料を撹拌しながら0℃未満に冷やす工程。原料中の水分が微細な氷の結晶になり、原料に空気が混入される。)を経て製造される菓子であって、冷凍温度帯(-18℃以下)で流通され、凍結状のまま食用に供するもの(ただし、消費者の嗜好に応じて半凍結状として食用に供するものを含む。)をいう。
(主な特徴)
冷凍菓子に用いられるカカオ組成物は、カカオ豆を原料として加工された素材であり、以下の特徴を有する:
1)未破砕カカオ豆細胞を含有する。
2)粒度分布が10μm~1.5mmである。
あるいは、以下の特徴を有する。
3)油分含有量に対するフリーファット含有量の重量比率が60%以下である。なお本発明に関し、組成物等について含有される成分の割合又は率をいうときは、特に記載した場合を除き、重量に基づく。
あるいは、以下の特徴を有する。
4)カカオ豆細胞中の未破砕細胞の個数比率が30%以上である。
あるいは、以下の特徴を有する。
1)未破砕カカオ豆細胞を含有する。
5)破断強度が3kgf以下である。
なお、カカオ組成物には、ホールの生カカオ豆は含まれない。ホールの生カカオ豆の例としては、天然のカカオ豆自体、発酵したカカオ豆自体が挙げられる。またカカオ組成物には既存のカカオニブは含まれない。カカオニブとは、カカオ豆からシェルが除去されたものであり、水分存在下で加熱されていないものである。ただし、カカオニブは、一般的なチョコレート及びココア製造で慣用されている加熱殺菌処理及び又はロースト処理されたものを含む。カカオニブには、前記のものの破砕物も含む。
カカオ豆は、カカオ(Theobroma cacao)の種子を指し、カカオ組成物の原料となるカカオ豆の品種や産地は、特に制限されない。カカオ品種の例として、フォラステロ種、クリオロ種、トリニタリオ種、これらの派生種、交配種が挙げられる。産地の例として、ガーナ、コートジボワール、ナイジェリア、ブラジル、ベネズエラ、トリニダード・トバゴが挙げられる。
カカオ組成物は、カカオ豆の破砕物であるということができる。カカオ豆の破砕は、後述するように得られる組成物が未破砕カカオ豆細胞を含有すれば、サイズに制限はない。カカオ豆細胞のサイズは様々であるが、最小径は約10μmであるから、カカオ組成物は、約10μm以上の粒子を含みうる。前記粒子とは、カカオ豆細胞そのもの、又はカカオ豆細胞の集合体をいう。前記カカオ豆細胞の集合体には、カカオ豆細胞が分離されず接着した組織の状態で残存している形態や、カカオ豆細胞が分離された後に凝集された形態も含まれる。カカオ組成物の粒度分布は、例えば10μm~1.5mmであり、好ましくは10μm~1.2mmであり、より好ましくは10μm~1mmである。
カカオ組成物は、未破砕のカカオ豆細胞を含有する。未破砕とは、細胞膜が破砕されていないことをいう。対象となる組成物に未破砕カカオ豆細胞が含有されているかどうかは、マイクロスコープ等を用いた観察により、細胞膜に囲まれた細胞の存在が確認できるか否かにより判断できる。またカカオ豆細胞が未破砕であれば、脂質及びタンパク質が細胞内にとどまっていることから、未破砕のカカオ豆細胞が含有されているかどうかは、タンパク質と脂質とをそれぞれ染色し、観察してタンパク質と脂質の所在が同じであるか否かにより判断できる。
(1) サンプル0.03gに2mlの水を加えて撹拌し、さらに0.5mlの0.01%メチレンブルー溶液を加えて、撹拌した後、スライドガラスに滴下し、カバーガラスを載せて顕微鏡で観察する(倍率:450倍)。
(2) 観察像、又はそれを撮影した画像から、必要に応じ画像解析ソフトを用いて、サンプルのエリア面積(A)と破砕細胞数(B)を求める。破砕細胞数は、エリアに含まれる破砕されている細胞を目視により選択してカウントすることにより得られる。
(3) 未破砕細胞を半径10μmの円として、一つの未破砕細胞の面積(C)を算出する(10×10×3.14=314μm2)。
(4) エリア面積(A)を一つの未破砕細胞の面積(C)で除して全細胞数(D)を算出する。
(5) カカオ豆細胞中の未破砕細胞の割合(%)は、以下の式により算出する。このとき、全細胞数(D)が100~300の範囲であるエリアを、5以上、好ましくは10以上用いて、各々について以下の式で値を算出し、得られた値を平均してそのサンプルのカカオ豆細胞中の未破砕細胞の割合とすることができる。
カカオ組成物は、油分あたりのフリーファット含有率が低い。チョコレート分野において、フリーファット(遊離油脂)とは、材料中に遊離状態で存在する油脂をいう。フリーファットは、チョコレートの流動性や粘度等に影響を与える。また、フリーファットを多く含む材料からは油がしみ出しやすいと考えられる。

(2) n-ヘキサン25mlを加える
(3) 130回/分×3分間、振幅4cmで振とうする
(4) 3000rpm,4℃,10分間遠心分離

(8) 真空定温乾燥機にて、98℃、減圧下で4時間保持し、n-ヘキサンを蒸発させる
(9) デシケーター内で空冷後、三角フラスコの重量(c)を測定する
<y>油分あたりのフリーファット含有率(%)=<x>/a中の油分×100
<z>固形分あたりのフリーファット含有率(%)=<x>/(a-a中の水分)×100
カカオ組成物は、ポリフェノール含有量が高い。また、カカオ組成物は、プロシアニジン含有量が高い。加熱処理により、カカオ豆に内在するポリフェノールオキシダーゼが失活されているからである。
カカオ組成物は、後述するように水分存在下で加熱処理され、破断強度が一定の範囲値となるように軟化されていてもよい。カカオ組成物の破断強度は、例えば3kgf以下であり、2.87kgf以下であることが好ましく、2.49以下であることがより好ましく、2.46以下であることがさらに好ましく、2.28kgf以下であることがさらに好ましい。下限値は、上限値がいずれの場合であっても0.5kgf以上とすることができ、1.0kgf以上とすることが好ましく、1.42kgf以上とすることがより好ましく、1.69kgf以上であることがさらに好ましい。
減圧下、100℃、4時間以上乾燥させたサンプルを、レオメーターにより、直径3mm円柱状のプランジャーを用いて進入深度4.0mm、進入速度2cm/minで測定する。サンプルの温度は22~24℃とする。得られた測定値がばらつく場合は、適切なサンプル数に対して測定を行う。適切なサンプル数は、当業者であれば適宜決定できるが、例えば、一の組成物から50のサンプルを取り、50の測定値の平均値をその組成物の破断強度としてもよい。
カカオ組成物は、食品として許容される添加物を含んでいてもよい。そのような添加物の例は、甘味料、酸化防止剤、香料、酸味料、賦形剤、界面活性剤、結合剤、崩壊剤、滑沢剤、溶解補助剤、懸濁化剤、コーティング剤、着色剤、保存剤、緩衝剤、pH調整剤、乳化剤、安定剤等である。
カカオ組成物は、以下の工程を含む製造方法により製造することができる:
・原料カカオ豆を水分存在下で加熱処理し、加熱処理カカオ豆を得る工程、
・得られた加熱処理カカオ豆を破砕する工程。
また本発明は、フリーファット含有率の低い、組成物を得るのに適した、下記を含む製造方法を提供する:
・原料カカオ豆を水分存在下で加熱処理し、加熱処理カカオ豆を得る工程、あるいは、
・原料カカオ豆を細胞単位で分離が容易となるように加工する工程。
冷凍菓子は、原材料として、カカオ組成物を本発明の効果を損なわない範囲で配合することができるが、原材料中のカカオ組成物の配合量は、好ましくは1~30%、より好ましくは3~25%、さらに好ましくは5~23%である。カカオ組成物の配合量がこの範囲より低い場合、食品を通常程度の量で摂取した場合に生理機能を得るのに十分な量のポリフェノールが摂取できるとは言い難い。また、この範囲より高い場合、相対的にその他の原料の配合率が下がる為、凝固点降下による組織の軟化、氷の減少による食感不良が起こり、良好な冷凍菓子を得ることが難しい。
本発明により提供される、カカオ組成物を含む冷凍菓子は、カカオポリフェノールが豊富に含まれているにも関わらず、カカオポリフェノールを未破砕のカカオ豆細胞を含むカカオ組成物として含有するため、苦味及び渋味が感じられにくいという利点がある。
配合原料中のポリフェノール含有量及びプロシアニジン含有量は、前述の、又は実施例の項中に記載の方法により測定できる。また冷凍菓子のミックス中のポリフェノール含有量及びプロシアニジン含有量は、配合した原材料中の含有量それぞれを合計することにより算出できる。なおポリフェノール含有量の測定方法(フォーリンチオカルト法)はOH基を定量する方法であるため、食品によってはポリフェノール以外の成分が測定される懸念がある。そのような懸念がある場合は、対照として目的の素材を含有しない食品を製造し、ベースとして差し引くことにより、目的の素材の配合によるポリフェノール含有量を適切に測定することができる。
本発明の冷凍菓子の形態は、適宜とすることができる。例として、冷凍菓子の例として、アイスクリーム類、氷菓、ソフトクリーム、ジェラート等が挙げられる。アイスクリームとは、重量百分率で乳固形分15.0%以上、うち乳脂肪分8.0%以上のものをいう。
本発明の冷凍菓子の製造方法は、発明の効果を妨げない限り、特に限定されず、例えば、原材料の一部を混合し、フリージングすることにより製造される。フリージングとは、原料を撹拌しながら0℃未満に冷やす工程であり、この工程中、原料中の水分が微細な氷の結晶になり、原料に空気が混入される。フリージング手段は発明の効果を妨げない限り、特に限定されず、公知の混合装置を用いることができる。
冷凍菓子には、カカオ豆加工品を含有している旨、その量が多い旨、ポリフェノール含有している旨、その量が多い旨、ポリフェノールにより期待できる効果を表示することができ、また特定の対象に対して当該食品の摂取を薦める旨を表示することができる。表示は、直接的に又は間接的にすることができ、直接的な表示の例は、製品自体、パッケージ、容器、ラベル、タグ等の有体物への記載であり、間接的な表示の例は、ウェブサイト、店頭、パンフレット、展示会、書籍、新聞、雑誌、テレビ、ラジオ、郵送物、電子メール、音声等の、場所又は手段による、広告・宣伝活動を含む。
