Description

 本発明は根菜類由来ペクチンを含む安定剤、並びにそれを使用した酸性蛋白食品及びその製造法に関し、詳しくは牛乳、豆乳等の蛋白飲料に柑橘類果汁又はその他の果汁、有機酸もしくは無機酸を添加してなる酸性蛋白飲料、酸性乳飲料、酸性冷菓、酸性デザート、及び乳入りコーヒー飲料、乳酸菌飲料、醗酵乳、液状ヨーグルトなどの酸性蛋白食品及びそれらの製造法に関する。 The present invention relates to a stabilizer containing pectin derived from root crops, and an acidic protein food using the same and a method for producing the same.Specifically, citrus juice or other juices, organic acids or inorganic acids are added to protein drinks such as milk and soy milk. The present invention relates to acidic protein beverages such as acidic protein beverages, acidic milk beverages, acidic frozen desserts, acidic desserts, and coffee beverages containing milk, lactic acid bacteria beverages, fermented milk, liquid yogurt, and the like, and methods for producing them.

根菜類、特に、イモ類にはデンプン質と共にペクチン質が含まれることが古くより知られており(非特許文献1)、ペクチンの製造原料としての検討が種々なされてきた(非特許文献2〜5、特許文献1〜2)。また、用途に関しても古くより研究が行われており、主にゲル化剤としての使用の検討がなされている(非特許文献6〜7、特許文献2)。 It has long been known that root crops, particularly potatoes, contain pectic substances together with starchy substances (Non-Patent Document 1), and various studies have been made as raw materials for producing pectin (Non-Patent Documents 2 to 4). 5, Patent Documents 1 and 2). In addition, research on the use has been conducted for a long time, and the use as a gelling agent has been mainly studied (Non-Patent Documents 6 and 7, Patent Document 2).

上記の如く、イモ類からのペクチンの製造は古くより研究課題として検討されていた。しかし、主な用途として検討されたジャム等のゲル化剤としての機能では、リンゴあるいは柑橘類などの果実類由来のペクチンに優るものではなく、現実的な使用にまで至っていない。さらに、用途、製造法に関しても果実類由来のペクチンに準じて検討されており、根菜類、特に、イモ類から得られるペクチンの特徴的な機能ならびに詳細な製造条件の設定に関する検討は、殆どなされていないというのが現状であった。 As described above, the production of pectin from potatoes has long been studied as a research topic. However, the function as a gelling agent for jams and the like, which has been studied as a main use, is not superior to pectin derived from fruits such as apples and citrus fruits, and has not reached a practical use. Furthermore, applications and production methods have been studied in accordance with pectin derived from fruits.Most studies have been made on the characteristic functions of pectin obtained from root crops, especially potatoes, and on setting detailed production conditions. It was not at the moment.

また、従来より酸性蛋白食品の製造に際しては、蛋白粒子の凝集、沈殿等を防止する目的でリンゴ、柑橘類由来のペクチン、水溶性大豆多糖類、カルボキシメチルセルロースナトリウム、アルギン酸プロピレングリコールエステルなどが使用されている。しかし、何れの安定剤を使用した場合においても、蛋白の分散を良好に安定化できるのは蛋白の等電点以下のpH 域に限られており、等電点を超える酸性pH 域において酸性蛋白食品を安定化できる安定剤は存在しないという問題があった。 Further, conventionally, in the production of acidic protein foods, apples, citrus-derived pectin, water-soluble soybean polysaccharides, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, propylene glycol alginate and the like have been used for the purpose of preventing aggregation and precipitation of protein particles. I have. However, no matter which stabilizer is used, the dispersion of protein can be satisfactorily stabilized only in the pH range below the isoelectric point of the protein, and in the acidic pH range above the isoelectric point. There was a problem that there was no stabilizer capable of stabilizing food.

一方、中性からpH 5.2 までの微酸性pH域においては有機酸塩を加えることにより蛋白成分を安定化できるという提案が報告されているが(特許文献3)、この提案においても安定化された蛋白液の乳濁性が消失する、加えた有機酸塩の影響により良好な酸味が得られなかったりする等の問題点があった。 On the other hand, it has been reported that a protein component can be stabilized by adding an organic acid salt in a slightly acidic pH range from neutral to pH 5.2 (Patent Document 3). There have been problems such as the disappearance of the emulsion of the protein solution and the failure to obtain a good acidity due to the effect of the added organic acid salt.

さらに、いわゆる飲むヨーグルトや乳酸菌飲料、フルーツ牛乳等の酸性の乳飲料中の乳蛋白は、非常に不安定であり乳蛋白が凝集し、さらに時間が経過すると乳蛋白の沈殿が生じ乳漿が分離する。また、殺菌加熱時にはこの凝集が著しくなり、全く商品価値を失ってしまう。 Furthermore, milk proteins in so-called drinking yogurt, lactic acid drinks, and acidic milk drinks such as fruit milk are very unstable, and milk proteins aggregate, and over time, milk proteins precipitate and whey is separated. I do. In addition, this aggregation becomes remarkable at the time of sterilization heating, and the commercial value is completely lost.

また、例えば、従来より常温流通可能な乳成分入りコーヒーはコーヒー抽出液、コーヒーエキス、乳成分、糖類、乳化剤などの原料を混合溶解してコーヒー調合品を調製し、これを均質機にかけて、保存容器に充填される前、又は充填された後の何れかに殺菌のため110 〜135 ℃の加熱工程を経て製造されているが、上記の加熱工程においては高温のためコーヒー成分の分解反応が生じ、コーヒー液のpH 低下が生じる。このため、pH が低下して溶液がpH 6.0 以下の酸性になるとコーヒー液に含まれる乳成分中の乳蛋白が変性して、分離凝集等を起こして商品価値がなくなる。そこで、上記乳蛋白の変性を防止するため、コーヒー液に予め炭酸水素ナトリウム等のアルカリ性物質を添加して、加熱工程の前に、コーヒー液のpH が6.5 を越えるようにpH 調整を行うことが行われているが、かかる方法で製造された乳成分入りコーヒーはpH が6.5 を越えた状態で加熱殺菌されるため、コーヒーの香りが変化し、本来のレギュラーコーヒーとは違った、いわゆるレトルト缶コーヒーとしての特異な香味、風味を形成している。 Also, for example, conventionally, a milk-containing coffee that can be distributed at normal temperature is prepared by mixing and dissolving raw materials such as a coffee extract, a coffee extract, a milk component, saccharides, and an emulsifier to prepare a coffee preparation, and then applying the same to a homogenizer and storing the same. It is manufactured through a heating process at 110 to 135 ° C. for sterilization either before or after filling in the container. The pH of the coffee liquor is reduced. For this reason, when the pH decreases and the solution becomes acidic at pH 6.0 or less, the milk protein in the milk component contained in the coffee liquor is denatured, causing separation and aggregation, etc., and the commercial value is lost. Therefore, in order to prevent denaturation of the milk protein, it is necessary to add an alkaline substance such as sodium bicarbonate to the coffee liquor in advance and adjust the pH of the coffee liquor to a value exceeding 6.5 before the heating step. However, coffee containing dairy ingredients produced by such a method is sterilized by heating at a pH exceeding 6.5, so the aroma of coffee changes, which is different from the original regular coffee, so-called retort cans. It has a unique flavor and flavor as coffee.

一方、酸味を有する風味の優れた、常温保存可能な加熱殺菌済みの乳成分入りコーヒー飲料の開発は強く望まれており、酸味を有する乳成分入りコーヒー飲料の製造法に関しては、乳成分として生クリーム、バター等を使用して蔗糖脂肪酸エステル等の乳化剤と結晶セルロースを加える方法(特許文献4) 、酸性多糖類を使用して乳蛋白を安定化させる方法( 特許文献5) などが提案されているが、何れの方法においてもコーヒー特有の風味、物性を損なわずに乳成分を安定化できるものではなかった。 On the other hand, there is a strong demand for the development of a heat-sterilized coffee beverage containing a milk component which is excellent in sour flavor and which can be stored at room temperature. A method of adding an emulsifier such as sucrose fatty acid ester and crystalline cellulose using cream, butter and the like (Patent Document 4), a method of stabilizing milk protein by using an acidic polysaccharide (Patent Document 5), and the like have been proposed. However, none of these methods can stabilize the milk component without impairing the flavor and physical properties of coffee.

このように、コーヒーは本来pH 6.5 以下の弱酸性pH 域でレギュラーコーヒー特有の香りと酸味を発揮するものであり、調合時にコーヒー液のpH を調整してpH 6.5 を越えるように保つと、レギュラーコーヒー特有の香りと酸味が消失してしまい、加熱殺菌して得られるコーヒーは本来のレギュラーコーヒーに比べて、風味が大幅に低下してしまうという問題点があった。すなわち、レギュラーコーヒー特有の風味、物性を損なわず、乳成分を長期的に安定化できる技術は存在しなかった。 As described above, coffee originally exhibits the aroma and acidity peculiar to regular coffee in the weakly acidic pH range of pH 6.5 or lower.If the pH of the coffee liquid is adjusted to be higher than 6.5 by adjusting the pH of the coffee liquid during preparation, The aroma and acidity peculiar to coffee disappear, and coffee obtained by heat sterilization has a problem that the flavor is greatly reduced as compared with the original regular coffee. In other words, there is no technology capable of stabilizing the milk component for a long time without impairing the flavor and physical properties unique to regular coffee.

上述のように、等電点以下のpH 域ならびにpH 5.2 から中性までのpH 域においては、蛋白の分散を安定化できる技術は既に存在するが、蛋白の等電点より高い酸性pH 域全般において、酸性蛋白食品を良好に安定化できる技術は存在しなかった。 As mentioned above, in the pH range below the isoelectric point and in the pH range from pH 5.2 to neutral, there is already a technology that can stabilize the dispersion of proteins. However, there was no technique capable of favorably stabilizing acidic protein foods.

本発明は、根菜類、特にイモ類から得られる特徴的なペクチン及びその製造法、並びに蛋白質の等電点以上の酸性pH 域において安定な酸性蛋白食品及びその製造法を提供することを目的とし、乳成分が長期間にわたり安定していて、常温流通可能な、加熱殺菌済みの乳成分入り飲料を提供することを目的とする。ここでいう、酸性とはpH 6.5 以下のpH 域を指す。 An object of the present invention is to provide a characteristic pectin obtained from root crops, particularly potatoes, and a method for producing the same, and an acidic protein food product stable in an acidic pH range not lower than the isoelectric point of a protein, and a method for producing the same. It is another object of the present invention to provide a heat-sterilized beverage containing a milk component, in which the milk component is stable for a long period of time and can be distributed at room temperature. As used herein, acidic refers to a pH range of pH 6.5 or lower.

本発明者らは、上記課題の解決を指向して鋭意研究した結果、イモ類の加工副産物であるデンプン粕から弱酸性条件下において熱水抽出されるペクチンに特徴的な機能が発現することを見出した。特に、馬鈴薯由来のペクチンを使用することにより、蛋白質の等電点以上のpH 域において酸性蛋白食品を果実由来のペクチンよりも低粘度で良好に安定化できるという知見を得た。本発明は、かかる知見に基づいて完成されたものである。 The present inventors have conducted intensive studies aimed at solving the above-mentioned problems, and as a result, have found that pectin which is extracted with hot water from starch cake, which is a by-product of processing potatoes, under mildly acidic conditions expresses a characteristic function. I found it. In particular, it has been found that the use of potato-derived pectin can stabilize acidic protein foods at a lower viscosity than that of fruit-derived pectin in a pH range higher than the isoelectric point of the protein. The present invention has been completed based on such findings.

従って本発明は、根菜類からpH3.8〜5.3の弱酸性条件下で熱水抽出して得られるペクチンを含むことを特徴とする蛋白質の等電点以上のpHを有する酸性蛋白食品用安定剤、該安定剤を使用することを特徴とする蛋白質の等電点以上のpHを有する酸性蛋白食品の製造法、該製造法によって製造された酸性蛋白食品、特に該製造法によって得られた乳成分を含むコーヒー飲料、並びに該ペクチンと従来の安定剤を併含することを特徴とする酸性蛋白食品用安定剤、である。 Accordingly, the present invention is directed to an acidic protein food having a pH equal to or higher than the isoelectric point of a protein, comprising pectin obtained by extracting with hot water from root vegetables under weakly acidic conditions of pH 3.8 to 5.3. Stabilizer, a method for producing an acidic protein food having a pH equal to or higher than the isoelectric point of a protein, characterized by using the stabilizer, an acidic protein food produced by the production method, particularly obtained by the production method A coffee beverage containing a milk component, and a stabilizer for acidic protein foods, comprising both the pectin and a conventional stabilizer.

本発明のように、根菜類、特に、イモ類からpH 3.8 〜 pH 5.3 の弱酸性下において、100 ℃以上の温度で抽出されたペクチンに、等電点以上の酸性pH 域における蛋白質の分散安定化能という、従来の安定剤とは異なる特徴的な機能を見出した。この機能を利用することにより、従来なかった等電点以上の酸性pH 域で安定な酸性蛋白質食品を製造することが可能となった。さらに、製造された酸性蛋白食品は、レトルト殺菌などの加熱後も安定な状態を保持できるようになる。 As in the present invention, the dispersion stability of proteins in the acidic pH range above the isoelectric point to pectin extracted from root crops, especially potatoes, at a temperature of 100 ° C or more under weak acidity of pH 3.8 to pH 5.3. The present inventors have found a characteristic function called a chemical ability, which is different from conventional stabilizers. By utilizing this function, it has become possible to produce an acidic protein food that is stable in the acidic pH range above the isoelectric point, which has not existed before. Further, the manufactured acidic protein food can maintain a stable state even after heating such as retort sterilization.

本発明においてペクチンを抽出する原料としての根菜類は、馬鈴薯、甘藷、里芋、山芋、コンニャクなどのイモ類、ゴボウ、ニンジン、大根、ハス、ビートなどが例示できるが、特にイモ類が好ましい。このようなイモ類は生又は乾燥したものをそのまま使用することもできるが、デンプン産業の加工副産物として生成される生又は乾燥したデンプン粕を使用することが好ましい。 In the present invention, root vegetables as a raw material for extracting pectin include potatoes, sweet potatoes, taro, yam, konjac and other potatoes, burdock, carrot, radish, lotus, beet, and the like, with potatoes being particularly preferred. As such potatoes, raw or dried starch can be used as it is, but it is preferable to use raw or dried starch cake produced as a processing by-product of the starch industry.

原料からのペクチンの抽出は、pH 3.8からpH 5.3 の弱酸性下にて行うことが必須である。このpH 域から外れた範囲において抽出されたペクチンには、等電点以上のpH 域での蛋白質の分散安定化機能は発現されない。 Extraction of pectin from the raw material must be performed under weak acidity at pH 3.8 to pH 5.3. Pectin extracted in a range outside this pH range does not exhibit a protein dispersion stabilizing function in a pH range above the isoelectric point.

因みに、このようなpH 域の範囲内において抽出されたペクチンが、何故、上述のような機能を発現するかについて詳細に説明することはできないが、恐らく抽出されるペクチン中のポリガラクチュロン鎖のエステル化度、ならびに、中性糖鎖の立体構造が関与しているものと推察される。 Incidentally, it is not possible to explain in detail why pectin extracted in such a pH range exhibits the above-mentioned functions, but it is probably that the polygalacturon chains in the extracted pectin are not included. It is presumed that the degree of esterification and the three-dimensional structure of the neutral sugar chain are involved.

また、上記のpH 範囲におけるペクチンの抽出温度は、100 ℃以上にて行うのが好ましい。100 ℃未満の温度で抽出を行った場合には、ペクチンの溶出に時間がかかり経済的に不利である。一方、温度が高温になるに従って抽出は短時間で済むが、余りに高温にし過ぎると風味、色調に悪影響を及ぼすと共にペクチンの低分子化が進み機能の発現効果が低下するので、130 ℃以下で行うのが好ましい。 The extraction temperature of pectin in the above-mentioned pH range is preferably 100 ° C. or higher. When extraction is performed at a temperature lower than 100 ° C., it takes time to elute pectin, which is economically disadvantageous. On the other hand, extraction takes less time as the temperature becomes higher.However, if the temperature is too high, the flavor and color tone are adversely affected and the molecular weight of pectin is reduced to reduce the effect of the function. Is preferred.

さらに、本発明におけるペクチンは夾雑するデンプン質を除去して純度を上げることにより、機能がより強く発揮されるようになる。夾雑するデンプン質は、酵素を用いた定量法による含量の測定において60%以下、好ましくは50% 以下にすることが望ましい。デンプン質の除去には、公知の方法を用いれば良く、例えば酵素による分解、あるいは、100 ℃以下の水による原料からの洗浄除去、抽出液中の不溶化部分の分離等が挙げられる。さらに、ペクチンは、その分子量がどの様な値のものでも使用可能であるが、好ましくは平均分子量が数万〜数百万、具体的には5万〜30万であるのが好ましい。なお、このペクチンの平均分子量は標準物質プルラン(昭和電工(株))を標準物質として0.1 モルのNaNO3 溶液中の粘度を測定する極限粘度法で求めた値である。 Furthermore, the pectin in the present invention can exert its function more strongly by removing contaminating starch and increasing its purity. The content of contaminating starch is desirably 60% or less, preferably 50% or less, in the content measurement by a quantitative method using an enzyme. The starch may be removed by a known method, for example, decomposition by an enzyme, washing and removal from a raw material with water at 100 ° C. or lower, separation of an insolubilized portion in an extract, and the like. Further, pectin may be used at any molecular weight, but preferably has an average molecular weight of tens of thousands to several millions, specifically 50,000 to 300,000. The average molecular weight of this pectin is a value determined by an intrinsic viscosity method for measuring the viscosity in a 0.1 mol NaNO3 solution using a standard substance pullulan (Showa Denko KK) as a standard substance.

本発明によって得られる、根菜類、特にイモ類由来のペクチンは、従来のリンゴあるいは柑橘類などの果実由来のペクチンとは異なる特徴的な機能を有する。即ち、果実由来のペクチンが、等電点以下のpH 域において蛋白質の分散を安定化できる機能を利用して酸性乳飲料の安定剤として使用されているのに対して、本発明におけるペクチンは、等電点以上のpH 域において蛋白質の分散を安定化できる機能を有するのであって、かかる機能により、従来では得られなかった等電点以上のpH 域での安定な酸性蛋白食品を製造することが可能となる。 Pectin derived from root crops, especially potatoes obtained by the present invention has a characteristic function different from conventional pectin derived from fruits such as apples or citrus fruits. That is, while pectin derived from fruit is used as a stabilizer for acidic milk beverages by utilizing the function of stabilizing the dispersion of proteins in the pH range below the isoelectric point, the pectin in the present invention is: It has the function of stabilizing the dispersion of proteins in the pH range above the isoelectric point.With such a function, it is necessary to produce a stable acidic protein food in the pH range above the isoelectric point, which could not be obtained conventionally. Becomes possible.
