  • the sterilized fermented milk obtained by the production method of the present invention has shape retention and/or resistance to boiling down, as described in the examples below, and has a texture that is less sour and tofu-like (silky). It has the firmness and texture of tofu (tofu, firm tofu). Therefore, it can be used in a variety of cooking methods as a milk protein-containing ingredient instead of tofu.
  • Sterilized fermented milk (Comparative Examples 7 to 10, Examples 1 to 2) was produced.
  • the maximum load (N) was defined as the maximum load (N) that was applied during the period from 1 to 2 until the test specimen broke.
  • WPI is added to milk as a fermented milk raw material, and the milk protein content is 2.49% by mass of whey and 2.48% by mass of casein (ratio of whey to 100 parts by mass of casein: Using a raw milk mix prepared to contain 100.4 parts by mass), ferment it with lactic acid bacteria in individual containers until the pH reaches 5.4 to 5.8.
  • a secondary heat treatment thermal history equivalent to 75°C x 15 minutes x normal pressure
  • this set type of sterilized fermented milk did not have the sour taste that is felt in ordinary yogurt, was harder than silken tofu, softer than firm tofu, and had a good texture.
  • fermented milk that was not subjected to secondary heat treatment did not have good resistance to boiling down, and even when secondary heat treatment was performed, the pH at the end of fermentation was 5 or less.
  • the fermented milk (Comparative Example 10) had good shape retention and boiling resistance, but had a strong sour taste and a tendency to have an excessively hard texture.
  • Experimental Example 2 Effect of WPI Blend Amount (1) Production of Fermented Milk Based on the results of Experimental Example 1 above, various fermented milks (Example 3 -8 and Comparative Examples 11 to 26) were prepared (see Table 5).
  • the fermented milk of Comparative Examples 11 to 21 was prepared using the method described in Experimental Example 1 (1) (a) (pH 5.8 or 5.4 at the end of fermentation: no secondary heat treatment), and Examples 3 to 8 and The fermented milk of Comparative Examples 22 to 26 was prepared according to the method described in Experimental Example 1 (1) (b) (pH 5.8 or 5.4 at the end of fermentation: with secondary heat treatment).
  • the milk protein content is 1.56 to 2.95% by mass of whey and 2.46 to 2.5% by mass of casein

  • a set-type sterilizer that has good shape retention and does not easily collapse even when boiled by subjecting the container to secondary heat treatment (heat history equivalent to 75°C x 15 minutes x normal pressure) or higher within the pH range. It was confirmed that fermented milk (Examples 3 to 8) was obtained. In addition, it was confirmed that this set type of sterilized fermented milk does not have the sour taste that is felt in regular yogurt, and has a tofu-like (firm to silken tofu) texture (hardness and texture). .
  • the milk protein content is 0.63 to 1.1% by mass of whey and 2.51 to 2.53% by mass of casein (ratio of whey to 100 parts by mass of casein: 24.9 to 43.
  • Fermented milk prepared using raw milk mixes containing 8 parts by mass had poor shape retention, or even if the shape retention was good, The boiling resistance was poor.
  • fermented milk prepared so that the milk protein content was the same as in Examples 3 to 8 but not subjected to secondary heat treatment as a fermented milk raw material (Comparative Examples 15 to 20) had shape retention.
  • the fermented milk raw material is prepared so that the milk protein content is within a range of whey content of 3.42% by mass and casein content of 2.45% by mass (ratio of whey to 100 parts by mass of casein: 139.6 parts by mass).
  • the fermented milk prepared using the raw material milk mix had good shape retention and boiling resistance, the texture tended to be too hard.
  • Fermented milk which is a healthy food, can now be used for purposes that have never existed before (general-purpose cooking). Mapo tofu, etc.) It does not fall apart when boiled, and can be ingested without any loss of whey protein in the broth. It is possible to obtain fermented milk without sour taste. Overall, this will lead to the development of a healthy food scene and the development of a new market for fermented milk.
