 揚げ物は、近年、家庭だけではなく、コンビニエンスストア若しくは外食店で、また惣菜等としても入手が容易になり、摂取頻度が高まっている一方で、過度な油脂の摂取およびそれによる摂取カロリーの増加は健康に望ましくない影響を及ぼすことが知られている。油脂の摂取量を抑えるために、ノンフライヤー調理器、電子レンジ調理用唐揚げ粉等を用いた調理代替法があるが、これらの方法で作成した揚げ物は、油ちょう調理で作成した揚げ物とは異なった食感風味となってしまう。このため、本来の揚げ物が有する好ましい風味食感を有し、かつ油脂の摂取量を低減し得る揚げ物用衣材が望まれている。 In recent years, fried foods have become more readily available not only at home but also at convenience stores, restaurants, and as prepared foods, and their frequency of consumption is on the rise. However, it is known that excessive intake of fats and oils and the resulting increase in calories can have undesirable effects on health. To reduce the amount of fat or oil consumed, there are alternative cooking methods using air fryers and fried chicken powder for microwave cooking, but the fried foods made using these methods have a different texture and flavor from those made by deep frying. For this reason, there is a demand for a coating material for fried foods that has the favorable flavor and texture of original fried foods and can reduce the intake of fat or oil.
 揚げ物用衣における吸油率、油っぽさ等を低減する方法としては、例えば、澱粉、ゴム類及びベーキングパウダーを有効量で含有したバッターミックス組成物(特許文献1)、カルボキシル基含量が0.1~1.1%である酸化サゴ澱粉、及び/又は酸処理サゴ澱粉を含有することを特徴とする揚げ物用ミックス(特許文献2)等が開示され、また、より高架橋度の澱粉を有する衣材料を使用すると、衣材料に保持される油量がより少なくなることが開示されている(非特許文献1)。 Methods for reducing the oil absorption rate and oiliness of batters for deep-frying have been disclosed, for example, in a batter mix composition containing effective amounts of starch, rubbers, and baking powder (Patent Document 1), a deep-frying mix characterized by containing oxidized sago starch with a carboxyl group content of 0.1 to 1.1% and/or acid-treated sago starch (Patent Document 2), and it has also been disclosed that the amount of oil retained in a batter material is reduced when a batter material containing starch with a higher degree of cross-linking is used (Non-Patent Document 1).
 一方、衣付き揚げ物は、調理直後から時間が経過すると具材の水分が衣に移行することによって、具材のジューシーさが失われると共に衣が柔らかくなって、独特の食感が失われやすいという問題があるところ、特許文献3は、小麦粉50~95重量%と、酸化処理又は酸処理され且つラピッドビスコアナラーザー(RVA)測定における最高粘度が1000Pa・s以下である加工澱粉5~50重量%とを含有する揚げ物用衣材により、製造直後はもとより、製造後ある程度時間が経過した場合や電子レンジなどで再加熱した場合でも、衣がサクサクと軽い食感の衣付き揚げ物を提供することができることを開示している。 On the other hand, fried foods with batter have the problem that as time passes from immediately after cooking, moisture from the ingredients transfers to the batter, causing the ingredients to lose their juiciness and the batter to become soft, easily losing its unique texture. Patent Document 3 discloses that a batter material for fried foods containing 50 to 95% by weight of wheat flour and 5 to 50% by weight of processed starch that has been oxidized or acid-treated and has a maximum viscosity of 1000 Pa·s or less as measured by rapid viscoanalyzer (RVA), can be used to provide fried foods with a batter that is crispy and light in texture, not only immediately after production, but also after some time has passed since production or when reheated in a microwave oven or the like.
 しかしながら、本来の揚げ物が有する好ましい風味食感を有し、かつ油脂の摂取量を低減し得る揚げ物用衣材を提供するという点では、上記いずれも満足できるものではない。 However, none of the above methods are satisfactory in terms of providing a coating material for deep-fried foods that has the favorable flavor and texture that deep-fried foods normally have, and that can reduce the intake of oil and fat.

 本発明は、本来の揚げ物が有する好ましい風味食感を有し、かつ油脂の摂取量を低減し得る揚げ物を提供することができる揚げ物用衣材等を提供することを目的とする。 The present invention aims to provide a coating material for fried foods that can provide fried foods that have the favorable flavor and texture of traditional fried foods and can reduce the intake of oil and fat.

 「ラピッドビスコアナラーザー(RVA)」(rapid visco analyzer)は、水に懸濁させた澱粉等の粘度特性を、パドル(羽根)の回転により測定する装置であり、例えばRVA-TecMaster(Perten Instruments社製)、Series-4 RVA-4(Newport Scientific社製)等があげられる。 A "rapid visco analyzer (RVA)" is a device that measures the viscosity characteristics of starch and other substances suspended in water by rotating a paddle. Examples of such devices include the RVA-TecMaster (manufactured by Perten Instruments) and the Series-4 RVA-4 (manufactured by Newport Scientific).
 本発明におけるRVA測定の条件は、以下のとおりである。
<RVA測定の条件>
 RVAを使用して、澱粉、難消化性糖質、食物繊維、またはこれらの混合物1.2重量部に10重量部の水を加えて調製した懸濁液を、パドル回転数160rpmで撹拌しながら、(i)50℃で5分間保持し、(ii)9℃/分で5分間かけて95℃まで昇温し、(iii)95℃で3分間保持し、(iv)9℃/分で5分間かけて50℃まで降温し、(v)50℃で7分間保持したときの粘度を経時的に測定する。
The conditions for the RVA measurement in the present invention are as follows.
<RVA measurement conditions>
Using an RVA, a suspension is prepared by adding 10 parts by weight of water to 1.2 parts by weight of starch, indigestible carbohydrate, dietary fiber, or a mixture thereof, and while stirring with a paddle rotation speed of 160 rpm, (i) it is held at 50°C for 5 minutes, (ii) the temperature is raised to 95°C at 9°C/min over 5 minutes, (iii) it is held at 95°C for 3 minutes, (iv) the temperature is lowered to 50°C at 9°C/min over 5 minutes, and (v) it is held at 50°C for 7 minutes, and the viscosity is measured over time.
 RVA測定について、より詳細に説明すると、澱粉等を水に加えた懸濁液の粘度をRVAで測定する際、該懸濁液を昇温(例えば50℃から95℃に昇温)することにより、当該澱粉等が糊化して該懸濁液の粘度が上がって最高粘度に達した後、当該澱粉等が崩壊して再び該懸濁液の粘度が下がる挙動が見られる。また、その後、該懸濁液を降温(例えば95℃から50℃に降温)すると、今度は当該澱粉等が老化して再び該懸濁液の粘度が上昇する挙動が見られる。このときの粘度の下限値と上記最高粘度との差をブレイクダウンという。 To explain RVA measurement in more detail, when the viscosity of a suspension in which starch or the like is added to water is measured using an RVA, by raising the temperature of the suspension (for example, from 50°C to 95°C), the starch or the like gelatinizes and the viscosity of the suspension increases until it reaches its maximum viscosity, after which the starch or the like breaks down and the viscosity of the suspension decreases again. Furthermore, when the temperature of the suspension is then lowered (for example, from 95°C to 50°C), the starch or the like ages and the viscosity of the suspension increases again. The difference between the lower limit of viscosity at this time and the maximum viscosity is called the breakdown.
 本発明で用いられる澱粉、難消化性糖質、食物繊維、またはこれらの混合物は、RVA測定を行ったときの最高粘度が、1cp~7,000cpであるが、1cp~6,000cpであることが好ましく、1cp~5,000cpであることがより好まく、1cp~4000cpであることがさらに好ましい。また、本発明で用いられる澱粉、難消化性糖質、食物繊維、またはこれらの混合物は、RVA測定を行ったときのブレイクダウンが、0.1cp~2,500cpであるが、0.1cp~2,000cpであることが好ましく、0.1cp~1,500cpであることがより好ましく、0.1cp~1,000cpであることがさらに好ましい。 The starch, resistant carbohydrate, dietary fiber, or mixture thereof used in the present invention has a maximum viscosity of 1 cp to 7,000 cp when subjected to RVA measurement, preferably 1 cp to 6,000 cp, more preferably 1 cp to 5,000 cp, and even more preferably 1 cp to 4,000 cp.

 本発明の揚げ物用衣材は、穀粉30~99.5重量%と、RVA測定を行ったときの最高粘度が1cp~7,000cpでありブレイクダウンが0.1cp~2,500cpである澱粉、難消化性糖質、食物繊維、またはこれらの混合物0.5~70重量%とに、必要に応じて、添加剤等を適宜添加し、そのまま混合することにより、または食品の分野で一般的な製造方法により製造することができる。これら各成分を添加する順番等は特に制限されず、使用目的に応じて適宜設定することができる。 The coating material for deep-fried foods of the present invention can be produced by adding additives etc. as necessary to 30-99.5% by weight of grain flour and 0.5-70% by weight of starch, indigestible carbohydrate, dietary fiber, or a mixture of these, with a maximum viscosity of 1 cp-7,000 cp and breakdown of 0.1 cp-2,500 cp as measured by RVA, and mixing the mixture as is, or by a production method commonly used in the food industry. There are no particular restrictions on the order in which these components are added, and the order can be set appropriately depending on the intended use.
 本発明の揚げ物用衣材を用いて得られる揚げ物は、従来公知の揚げ物用衣材を用いて得られる揚げ物と比較して、吸油率が低減されている。従って、一態様においては、本発明は、穀粉30~99.5重量%と、ラピッドビスコアナライザー(RVA)測定を行ったときの最高粘度が1cp~7,000cpでありブレイクダウンが0.1cp~2,500cpである澱粉、難消化性糖質、食物繊維、またはこれらの混合物0.5~70重量%とを含有する、吸油率が低減された揚げ物用衣材を提供する。 Fried foods obtained using the coating material for deep-fried foods of the present invention have a reduced oil absorption rate compared to fried foods obtained using conventional coating materials for deep-fried foods. Thus, in one aspect, the present invention provides a coating material for deep-fried foods with a reduced oil absorption rate, which contains 30 to 99.5% by weight of grain flour and 0.5 to 70% by weight of starch, indigestible carbohydrate, dietary fiber, or a mixture thereof, which has a maximum viscosity of 1 cp to 7,000 cp and a breakdown of 0.1 cp to 2,500 cp when measured with a rapid viscoanalyzer (RVA).
 吸油率が低減された揚げ物用衣材における「吸油率が低減された」とは、従来の揚げ物用衣材を用いて同じ方法により油ちょうした場合と比較して、単位重量あたりの衣に含まれる油の重量が低減されていることをいい、「吸油率が低減された揚げ物」とは、油の含有量が低減された揚げ物をいう。本明細書においては、従来の揚げ物用衣材(対照)として、小麦粉「日清フラワー」((株)日清製粉ウェルナ)62.5%と一般的に唐揚げ粉に使用される乾燥タピオカ澱粉「乾燥タピオカ」(松谷化学工業(株))37.5%との混合物を用い、以下の手順にて調製した揚げ玉に含まれる油の重量を100%としたとき、被検衣材を用い、同じ手順にて調製した揚げ玉に含まれる油の重量を百分率で表した値(吸油率)が100%未満である場合に、当該被検衣材は吸油率が低減された揚げ物用衣材に該当する。
1.被検衣材および対照に、それぞれ同重量の10℃以下の冷水を加えて1~2分間撹拌して、各バッターを調製する。
2.該バッターを25mL容シリンジに10mLとり、160℃に熱した油に5秒間かけて投入した後、30秒間フライする。
3.得られた揚げ玉を全量回収し、油が切れるまで放冷した後、135℃で1時間乾燥させて、重量を測定する。
4.3.の測定値と原料の粉重量とから、含有されている油の重量を算出する。
In a deep-fried food coating material with reduced oil absorption, "reduced oil absorption" refers to a coating material with reduced oil absorption, which has a reduced weight of oil contained in the coating per unit weight, compared to a coating material for deep-fried food fried in the same manner as that used in the conventional deep-fried food coating material, and "fried food with reduced oil absorption" refers to a fried food with reduced oil content. In this specification, a mixture of 62.5% wheat flour "Nissin Flour" (Nissin Flour Milling Co., Ltd.) and 37.5% dried tapioca starch "Dried Tapioca" (Matsutani Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.), which is generally used in deep-fried chicken flour, is used as a conventional deep-fried food coating material (control), and the weight of oil contained in the deep-fried food balls prepared in the following procedure is taken as 100%, and when the value (oil absorption rate) expressed as a percentage of the weight of oil contained in the deep-fried food balls prepared in the same procedure using the test coating material is less than 100%, the test coating material corresponds to a deep-fried food coating material with reduced oil absorption.
1. Prepare each batter by adding the same weight of cold water (below 10°C) to the test material and the control, and stirring for 1-2 minutes.
2. 10 mL of the batter is placed in a 25 mL syringe, and then poured into oil heated to 160° C. over a period of 5 seconds, and then fried for 30 seconds.
3. Collect all of the resulting fried balls, leave them to cool until the oil is removed, dry them at 135°C for 1 hour, and measure their weight.
4.3. Calculate the weight of the oil contained from the measured value in step 3 and the weight of the raw material powder.
 また、本発明の揚げ物用衣材を用いて得られる揚げ物は、従来公知の揚げ物用衣材を用いて得られる揚げ物と比較して、吸油率が低減されていながら、本来の揚げ物が有する好ましい風味食感を有する。ここで、本来の揚げ物が有する好ましい風味食感は、カラッと揚がったサクサクとしたクリスピーな食感でありながら、油調食品として程よく油脂感が感じられるものをいう。 Furthermore, fried foods obtained using the deep-fried food coating material of the present invention have a reduced oil absorption rate compared to fried foods obtained using conventionally known deep-fried food coating materials, while still retaining the favorable flavor and texture of traditional fried foods. Here, the favorable flavor and texture of traditional fried foods refers to a crispy texture that is crispy when fried, while still providing a moderate oily feel as a fried food.

Next, if necessary, breadcrumbs or the like are further added and the resulting product is deep-fried.
 本発明の製造方法により得られる揚げ物は、従来公知の揚げ物用衣材を用いて得られる揚げ物と比較して、吸油率が低減している。従って、本発明はまた、穀粉と澱粉、難消化性糖質、食物繊維、またはこれらの混合物とを含有する揚げ物用衣材を食品素材に付着させ、得られた付着物を油ちょうする揚げ物の製造において、揚げ物用衣材中の穀粉の含有量を30~99.5重量%、澱粉、難消化性糖質、食物繊維、またはこれらの混合物の含有量を0.5~70重量%とし、並びに澱粉、難消化性糖質、食物繊維、またはこれらの混合物として、RVA測定を行ったときの最高粘度が1cp~7,000cpでありブレイクダウンが0.1cp~2,500cpである澱粉、難消化性糖質、食物繊維、またはこれらの混合物を使用することを特徴とする、前記揚げ物における吸油率の低減方法(以下、「本発明の吸油率低減方法」という)を提供する。本発明の吸油率低減方法における「穀粉」、「澱粉」、「難消化性糖質、食物繊維」、「揚げ物」、「RVA」、「RVA測定」、「吸油率の低減」等についても、本発明の揚げ物用衣材について上記で説明したとおりである。 Fried foods obtained by the manufacturing method of the present invention have a reduced oil absorption rate compared to fried foods obtained using a conventionally known coating material for deep-frying.

 次に、本発明を実施例等により具体的に説明するが、本発明はこれらの例によって何ら限定されるものではない。 Next, the present invention will be explained in detail using examples, but the present invention is not limited to these examples.
実施例1(バッター調製)
 小麦粉:「日清フラワー」((株)日清製粉ウェルナ)62.5gおよび表1に記載の各澱粉37.5gの混合物に、該混合物と同重量の10℃以下の冷水を加えて1~2分間撹拌し、各種バッターを調製した。なお、表1におけるNo.1は、対照例であり、No.26~33は、比較例である。
Example 1 (Batter Preparation)
Wheat flour: 62.5 g of "Nissin Flour" (Nissin Flour Welna Co., Ltd.) and 37.5 g of each starch listed in Table 1 were mixed with the same weight of cold water at 10°C or less and stirred for 1 to 2 minutes to prepare various batters. Note that No. 1 in Table 1 is a control example, and Nos. 26 to 33 are comparative examples.
試験例1(吸油率測定)
 実施例1で得たバッターのそれぞれを、25mL容シリンジに10mLとり、160℃に熱した油に5秒間で投入した後、30秒間油ちょうし、得られた揚げ玉を全量回収した。油が切れるまで放冷した後、135℃で1時間乾燥させて、重量を測定した。この値と原料の粉重量とから、揚げ玉に含有されている油の重量を測定した。小麦粉「日清フラワー」((株)日清製粉ウェルナ)と乾燥タピオカ澱粉「乾燥タピオカ」(松谷化学工業(株))との混合物を含むバッターから得られた揚げ玉に含有されている油の重量を100%として、各バッターから得られた揚げ玉に含有されている油の重量の比率(吸油率)を算出した。
 その結果を、表1に示す。
Test Example 1 (Oil Absorption Rate Measurement)
10 mL of each of the batters obtained in Example 1 was taken into a 25 mL syringe, and was poured into oil heated to 160°C for 5 seconds, then fried for 30 seconds, and the resulting fried balls were all collected. After cooling until the oil was removed, they were dried at 135°C for 1 hour and weighed. From this value and the weight of the raw material flour, the weight of the oil contained in the fried balls was measured. The weight of the oil contained in the fried balls obtained from the batter containing a mixture of wheat flour "Nissin Flour" (Nissin Flour Milling Co., Ltd.) and dried tapioca starch "Dried Tapioca" (Matsutani Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.) was taken as 100%, and the ratio of the weight of the oil contained in the fried balls obtained from each batter (oil absorption rate) was calculated.
The results are shown in Table 1.
 表1に示すように、RVA測定を行ったときの最高粘度が1cp~7,000cpでありブレイクダウンが0.1cp~2,500cpの要件を満たさない澱粉等の成分(No.26~33)を含むバッターから調製した揚げ玉は、対照例の小麦粉「日清フラワー」((株)日清製粉ウェルナ)と乾燥タピオカ澱粉「乾燥タピオカ」(松谷化学工業(株))との混合物(No.1)を含むバッターから調製した揚げ玉と比較して、吸油率が高い場合もあれば低い場合もあった。これに対して、RVA測定を行ったときの最高粘度が1cp~7,000cpでありブレイクダウンが0.1cp~2,500cpである成分(No.2~25)を含むバッターから調製した揚げ玉は、対照例のバッターから調製した揚げ玉と比較して、いずれも吸油率が低かった。従って、本発明の揚げ物用衣材は、油脂の摂取量を低減し得る揚げ物を提供することができる。 As shown in Table 1, the fried balls prepared from batters containing starch and other ingredients (No. 26-33) that do not meet the requirements of a maximum viscosity of 1 cp-7,000 cp and a breakdown of 0.1 cp-2,500 cp when RVA measurements were performed had oil absorption rates that were sometimes higher and sometimes lower than those prepared from batters containing a control mixture (No. 1) of wheat flour "Nissin Flour" (Nissin Flour Milling Co., Ltd.) and dried tapioca starch "Dried Tapioca" (Matsutani Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.). In contrast, the fried balls prepared from batters containing ingredients (No. 2-25) that have a maximum viscosity of 1 cp-7,000 cp and a breakdown of 0.1 cp-2,500 cp when RVA measurements were performed had oil absorption rates that were all lower than those prepared from the control batters. Thus, the fried food coating material of the present invention can provide fried foods that can reduce the intake of oils and fats.
実施例2(バッター調製)
 小麦粉:「日清フラワー」((株)日清製粉ウェルナ)62.5gおよび表2に記載の各澱粉37.5gの混合物に、該混合物と同重量の10℃以下の冷水を加えて1~2分間撹拌し、各種バッターを調製した。なお、表2におけるNo.1は、対照例であり、No.31は、比較例である。
Example 2 (Batter Preparation)
Wheat flour: 62.5 g of "Nissin Flour" (Nissin Flour Welna Co., Ltd.) and 37.5 g of each starch listed in Table 2 were mixed with the same weight of cold water at 10°C or less and stirred for 1 to 2 minutes to prepare various batters. Note that No. 1 in Table 2 is a control example, and No. 31 is a comparative example.
試験例2(揚げ玉から染み出す油の量の測定)
 実施例2で得たバッターのそれぞれを、25mL容シリンジに10mLとり、160℃に熱した油に5秒間で投入した後、30秒間油ちょうし、得られた揚げ玉を全量回収した。油が切れるまで放冷した後、135℃で1時間乾燥させて、重量を測定した(A(g))。次いで、リードヘルシークッキングペーパー(ライオン(株))2枚の重量を測定し(B(g))、このペーパーに135℃で1時間乾燥させた上記揚げ玉を挟み、これをパウチ袋「ラミジップLZ-16」((株)セイニチ)に入れ、真空脱気シーラー「FUJI IMPULSE FCB-200」(富士インパルス(株))で真空脱気シールした。室温で12時間以上経過後、パウチを開き、油を吸わせたペーパーの重量を測定した(C(g))。ペーパーに染み出した油の重量から、以下の式(1)にて、揚げ玉1gあたりから染み出した油の量を算出した。
   揚げ玉1gあたりから染み出した油の量(g)=(C-B)/A  (1)
 その結果を、表2に示す。
Test Example 2 (Measurement of the amount of oil seeping out from fried balls)
10 mL of each of the batters obtained in Example 2 was taken in a 25 mL syringe, and was poured into oil heated to 160°C for 5 seconds, then fried for 30 seconds, and the resulting fried balls were all collected. After cooling until the oil was removed, the fried balls were dried at 135°C for 1 hour, and their weights were measured (A(g)). Next, the weights of two sheets of Lead Healthy Cooking Paper (Lion Co., Ltd.) were measured (B(g)), and the fried balls dried at 135°C for 1 hour were sandwiched between the two sheets of paper, which were then placed in a pouch bag "Lamizip LZ-16" (Seinichi Co., Ltd.), and vacuum degassed and sealed using a vacuum degassing sealer "FUJI IMPULSE FCB-200" (Fuji Impulse Co., Ltd.). After 12 hours or more at room temperature, the pouch was opened, and the weight of the paper that had absorbed the oil was measured (C(g)). The amount of oil seeping out from each gram of fried dumplings was calculated from the weight of the oil seeping out onto the paper using the following formula (1).
The amount of oil leaking from 1 g of fried food (g) = (C - B) / A (1)
The results are shown in Table 2.
 表2に示すように、RVA測定を行ったときの最高粘度が1cp~7,000cpでありブレイクダウンが0.1cp~2,500cpであるという要件を満たさない澱粉等の成分(No.31)を含むバッターから調製した揚げ玉からは、対照例の小麦粉「日清フラワー」((株)日清製粉ウェルナ)と乾燥タピオカ澱粉「乾燥タピオカ」(松谷化学工業(株))との混合物(No.1)を含むバッターから調製した揚げ玉からと比較して、油の染み出す量が多かった。これに対して、RVA測定を行ったときの最高粘度が1cp~7,000cpでありブレイクダウンが0.1cp~2,500cpである澱粉等の成分(No.5、6および12)を含むバッターから調製した揚げ玉からは、対照例のバッターから調製した揚げ玉からと比較して、油の染み出す量が少なかった。すなわち、本発明の揚げ物用衣材を含むバッターから調製した揚げ玉は、油っぽさやギトギト感が低減され、カラッと揚がっており、本来の揚げ物が有する好ましい食感を有すると言える。 As shown in Table 2, the fried balls prepared from batter containing starch and other ingredients (No. 31) that did not meet the requirements of a maximum viscosity of 1 cp to 7,000 cp and a breakdown of 0.1 cp to 2,500 cp when RVA was measured showed a greater amount of oil seeping out than the fried balls prepared from batter containing the control mixture (No. 1) of wheat flour "Nissin Flour" (Nissin Flour Milling Co., Ltd.) and dried tapioca starch "Dried Tapioca" (Matsutani Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.). In contrast, the fried balls prepared from batter containing starch and other ingredients (Nos. 5, 6 and 12) that had a maximum viscosity of 1 cp to 7,000 cp and a breakdown of 0.1 cp to 2,500 cp when RVA was measured showed a smaller amount of oil seeping out than the fried balls prepared from the control batter. In other words, fried tempura bits prepared from a batter containing the deep-fried food coating material of the present invention are less oily and greasy, are fried crisply, and can be said to have the desirable texture that deep-fried foods normally have.
実施例3(バッター調製)
 小麦粉:「日清フラワー」((株)日清製粉ウェルナ)58.244g、表3に記載の各澱粉34.946g、食塩3.905gおよびグルタミン酸ナトリウム:「味の素」(味の素(株))2.905gの混合物に、該混合物と同重量の10℃以下の冷水を加えて1~2分間撹拌し、各種バッターを調製した。なお、表3におけるNo.1は、対照例であり、No.26~33は、比較例である。

Various batters were prepared by adding the same weight of cold water at 10°C or less to a mixture of 58.244g of wheat flour "Nissin Flour" (Nissin Flour Wellna Co., Ltd.), 34.946g of each starch listed in Table 3, 3.905g of salt, and 2.905g of sodium glutamate "Ajinomoto" (Ajinomoto Co., Ltd.), and stirring for 1 to 2 minutes. Note that No. 1 in Table 3 is a control example, and Nos. 26 to 33 are comparative examples.
試験例3(風味食感評価)
 実施例3で得た各バッターに鶏肉各150gをくぐらせた後、180℃に熱した大豆油「大豆白絞油」((株)J-オイルミルズ)にて5分間油ちょうした。風味食感の評価は、得られた各唐揚げについて、熟練した評価者3名が喫食し、以下に示す評価尺度で風味食感の評価付けを0.5点刻みで行い、得られた3名の評価者の点数を平均することにより行った。また、評価点の平均値が+3以上の場合を「非常に好ましい」(揚げ物としての特に好ましさを有する)、+1以上+3未満の場合を「好ましい」(対照例のバッターから調製した唐揚げと比較して優位な好ましさを有する)とした。
Test Example 3 (flavor and texture evaluation)
150 g of chicken meat was dipped in each batter obtained in Example 3, and then deep-fried for 5 minutes in soybean oil "Soybean White Oil" (J-Oil Mills, Inc.) heated to 180°C. The flavor and texture were evaluated by having three experienced evaluators taste each of the resulting fried chicken, rating the flavor and texture in 0.5 point increments using the rating scale shown below, and averaging the scores obtained by the three evaluators. In addition, an average rating of +3 or more was rated as "very favorable" (particularly favorable as a fried food), and an average rating of +1 or more but less than +3 was rated as "favorable" (superiorly favorable compared to fried chicken prepared from the batter of the control example).

 その結果を、表3に示す。 The results are shown in Table 3.
 表3に示すように、実施例のバッターから調製した唐揚げは、いずれも対照例のバッターから調製した唐揚げと比較してより好ましい風味食感を有していた。これに対して、比較例のバッターから調製した唐揚げは、いずれも対照例のバッターから調製した唐揚げと比較して風味食感が劣っていた。従って、本発明の揚げ物用衣材は、本来の揚げ物が有する好ましい風味食感を有し、かつ油脂の摂取量を低減し得る揚げ物を提供することができる。 As shown in Table 3, all of the fried chicken prepared from the batters of the Examples had a more favorable flavor and texture than fried chicken prepared from the batters of the Control Examples. In contrast, all of the fried chicken prepared from the batters of the Comparative Examples had an inferior flavor and texture compared to fried chicken prepared from the batters of the Control Examples. Therefore, the coating material for deep-fried foods of the present invention can provide fried foods that have the favorable flavor and texture of natural fried foods and can reduce the intake of oil and fat.
 本発明により、本来の揚げ物が有する好ましい風味食感を有し、かつ油脂の摂取量を低減し得る揚げ物を提供することができる揚げ物用衣材等を提供することができる。従って、本発明は、食品産業分野において有用である。 The present invention can provide a coating material for fried foods that has the favorable flavor and texture of fried foods and can reduce the intake of oil and fat.
