Description

本発明は、新規酵母及びそれを用いた清酒の製造方法に関する。詳しくは、20%エタノール存在下で生育可能であり、親株由来の発酵能と高香気生成能を維持し、かつ有機酸を親株より多く生成し、醪後半の高濃度エタノール存在下において死滅率が低い性質を有する酵母、および該酵母を用いた清酒の製造方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a novel yeast and a method for producing sake using the same. Specifically, it can grow in the presence of 20% ethanol, maintains the fermentative ability and high fragrance-producing ability derived from the parent strain, produces more organic acid than the parent strain, and has a death rate in the presence of high-concentration ethanol in the second half of the cocoon. The present invention relates to a yeast having low properties and a method for producing sake using the yeast.

現在、全国の大部分の清酒製造場では(財)日本醸造協会から販売されている「きょうかい酵母」を使用しており、吟醸酒、純米酒、本醸造酒、普通酒といった清酒の種類によって酵母を使い分けている。近年、清酒の多様化、差別化、そして、より一層の高品質化を目的として積極的に優良酵母の分離・改良・育種が広く行われており、実用株の開発が進められている。
特に、香りがフルーティで味の軽い吟醸酒(精米歩合60%以下で、アルコール添加は白米重量の10%以下で製造される)用酵母の研究開発が勢力的に行われおり、高香気生成酵母として「新規酵母及びその用途」(特許文献1参照)、「変異酵母」(特許文献2参照)、「酵母変異株およびそれを用いた酒類の製造方法」(特許文献3参照)等の多くの研究例があり、実用化に至っている。
Currently, most of the sake breweries throughout the country use “Kyokai Yeast” sold by the Japan Brewing Association. Depending on the type of sake, such as Ginjo, Junmai, Honshu, and Sake We use yeast properly. In recent years, the isolation, improvement, and breeding of excellent yeasts have been widely carried out actively for the purpose of diversifying, differentiating, and further improving the quality of sake, and practical strains are being developed.
In particular, the research and development of yeast for brewing sake with a fruity fragrance and light taste (less than 60% of polished rice ratio and alcohol added is less than 10% of the weight of white rice) has been actively conducted, and high fragrance producing yeast As "new yeast and its use" (refer patent document 1), "mutant yeast" (refer patent document 2), "yeast mutant and the manufacturing method of liquor using the same" (refer patent document 3), etc. There are examples of research and it has been put to practical use.

近年の酵母開発例として、薬剤耐性や変異処理により、特定の香気成分を多く生産する酵母研究例があるが、ややもすれば、酵母が本来有している優良な性質が損なわれるケースも少なくない。例えば、アルコール発酵能の低下による清酒製造へのデメリット、醪後半の高濃度アルコール存在下での酵母の死滅による清酒の雑味やオフフレーバーの発生、または、有機酸生成能の低下などがある。   As recent yeast development examples, there are yeast research examples that produce a large amount of specific aroma components by drug resistance or mutation treatment. However, there are many cases in which the excellent properties inherent in yeast are impaired. For example, there are disadvantages to sake production due to a decrease in alcohol fermentation ability, miscellaneous taste and off-flavor generation of sake due to the death of yeast in the presence of high-concentration alcohol in the latter half of the cocoon, or a decrease in organic acid production ability.

清酒醸造において、優れた酵母の有する性質としては、エタノール生成能が優れていることは勿論のこと、有機酸、アミノ酸、香気成分を適当量にバランスよく生産する能力を有していることが必須である。特に、純米吟醸酒は、上槽前にアルコール添加しないため、各成分の調整ができず、酵母の性質が直接清酒の品質に反映する。
上記した背景の基に、本発明は、清酒酵母を高濃度のエタノール存在下に馴養し、その中で生育した菌株から取得し、親株よりも有機酸を適度に多く生成する酵母の選抜・育種を目的とする。つまり、親株由来の発酵能や高香気生成能の優良な特性を維持し、かつ有機酸生成能を高める酵母の選抜・育種を目的とする。
また、清酒の製造において、当該酵母を使用することによって、有機酸の生成が少なく香味のバランスが不調和な清酒を改善することを目的とする。さらに、本発明は純米吟醸酒の製造を意図しているので、清酒醪後半の高濃度エタノール存在下における酵母の死滅率の低い菌株を選抜し、それに伴う発酵力の強化を目的とする。
In sake brewing, as a property of excellent yeast, it is essential that it has the ability to produce organic acids, amino acids, and fragrance components in appropriate amounts in a well-balanced manner, as well as excellent ethanol-producing ability. It is. In particular, Junmai Ginjo Sake does not add any alcohol before the upper tank, so the individual components cannot be adjusted, and the properties of the yeast directly reflect the quality of the sake.

With the goal. That is, it aims at selection and breeding of a yeast which maintains the excellent characteristics of the fermentative ability and high fragrance producing ability derived from the parent strain, and enhances the organic acid producing ability.
Another object of the present invention is to improve sake by producing yeast with the use of the yeast, which produces less organic acid and has an unbalanced flavor balance. Furthermore, since the present invention is intended for the production of pure rice ginjo sake, it aims to select a strain having a low death rate of yeast in the presence of high-concentration ethanol in the latter half of the sake lees and to enhance the fermenting power associated therewith.

本発明者は、上記の問題を解決するため、高濃度のエタノール存在下で増殖能を有する新規清酒用酵母の分離を試みた。つまり、サッカロミセス・セレビシエ3K8−157A(寄託番号:FERM P−19141)を供試株(親株)とし、20%濃度のエタノール存在下で増殖能を有する清酒酵母の分離を試みた。
取得したエタノール耐性株について発酵試験を行い、親株由来の発酵能や香気生成能の特性を維持し、かつ有機酸生成能が適度に高い株を選抜・育種した。さらに、本酵母を用いて清酒を製造することにより前記の問題点を解決できることを確認した。
In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present inventor attempted to isolate a novel sake yeast having a growth ability in the presence of a high concentration of ethanol. That is, Saccharomyces cerevisiae 3K8-157A (deposit number: FERM P-19141) was used as a test strain (parent strain), and separation of sake yeast having growth ability in the presence of 20% ethanol was attempted.
The obtained ethanol-resistant strain was subjected to a fermentation test, and a strain having a moderately high organic acid-producing ability while maintaining the characteristics of fermentability and aroma-producing ability derived from the parent strain was selected and bred. Furthermore, it confirmed that said problem could be solved by manufacturing refined sake using this yeast.

すなわち、請求項1記載の本発明は、サッカロミセス・セレビシエ(Saccharomyces cerevisiae)3K8−157A株(FERM P−19141)に由来し、20%エタノール存在下で生育可能であり、かつ親株由来のアルコール発酵能と香気成分生成能を維持し、有機酸生成能が親株より高いサッカロミセス・セレビシエKMAL−35株(NITE AP−4)である。
請求項2記載の本発明は、請求項1記載のサッカロミセス・セレビシエKMAL−35株(NITE AP−4)を用いることを特徴とする清酒の製造方法である。

本発明により、アルコール耐性に優れ、親株の優良な性質が維持され、かつ、有機酸を適度に多く生成する性質を有する清酒用酵母を提供することができる。本酵母を用いた清酒の製造において、有機酸、アミノ酸、香気成分をバランスよく生産し、官能的にも良好な清酒の製造が可能となった。また、醪後半における高濃度エタノール存在下における酵母の死滅率の低下により、発酵力が強化され清酒の生産性向上を図ることができる。   ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION By this invention, the yeast for sake which has the property which is excellent in alcohol tolerance, the outstanding property of a parent strain | stump | stock, and produces | generates moderately large amount of organic acids can be provided. In the production of sake using this yeast, organic acids, amino acids, and fragrance components were produced in a well-balanced manner, and it became possible to produce sake that was also good in terms of functionality. Moreover, fermentation power is strengthened by the fall of the death rate of yeast in the presence of high-concentration ethanol in the second half of the koji, and the productivity of sake can be improved.

本発明に係る酵母は、清酒の製造、特に純米吟醸酒の製造に用いられるもので、この酵母は以下に示す方法によって取得することができる。
まず、サッカロミセス・セレビシエ3K8−157A株(寄託番号:FERM P−19141)を親株とし、当該親株の培養酵母を20%エタノール溶液(1%グルコース、0.1M 酢酸緩衝液を含む、pH4.2)に接種し、15〜20℃で7〜14日間静置した後、酵母をY.P.D(1%イーストエキス、2%ポリペプトン、2%グルコース、2%寒天)プレート上に塗抹し、この培地で増殖した菌株をアルコール耐性株として取得する。
The yeast according to the present invention is used for the production of sake, especially for the production of pure rice ginjo sake, and this yeast can be obtained by the method described below.
First, Saccharomyces cerevisiae 3K8-157A strain (deposit number: FERM P-19141) is used as the parent strain, and the cultured yeast of the parent strain is 20% ethanol solution (containing 1% glucose and 0.1 M acetate buffer, pH 4.2). Inoculated at 15 to 20 ° C. for 7 to 14 days, and then the yeast was smeared on a YP (1% yeast extract, 2% polypeptone, 2% glucose, 2% agar) plate. A strain grown on the medium is obtained as an alcohol-resistant strain.

次いで、アルコール耐性株について発酵試験を行い、アルコール発酵能と香気生成能が親株と同程度で、かつ有機酸生成能の高い菌株を選抜する。さらに、選抜した数株について純米吟醸酒の小仕込み製造試験を行い、親株由来の発酵能と高香気生成能を維持し、有機酸生成能が親株より高く、かつ醪後半での死滅率が低い酵母を選ぶ。このようにして、目的とする酵母を選抜し、これをサッカロミセス・セレビシエ KMAL−35株と命名した。本菌株は、独立行政法人製品評価技術基盤機構 特許微生物寄託センターに寄託されており、その受託番号はNITE AP−4である。   Next, a fermentation test is performed on the alcohol-resistant strain, and a strain having the same ability to ferment alcohol and aroma producing ability as that of the parent strain and having a high organic acid producing ability is selected. In addition, we conducted a small-scale production test of pure rice ginjo sake for several selected strains, maintained the fermentation ability and high aroma generation ability derived from the parent strain, the organic acid production ability was higher than the parent strain, and the death rate in the second half of the cocoon Choose a low yeast. Thus, the target yeast was selected and named Saccharomyces cerevisiae KMAL-35 strain. This strain has been deposited with the Patent Microorganism Deposit Center, National Institute of Technology and Evaluation, and its deposit number is NITE AP-4.

本酵母を用いる清酒の製造は、基本的に通常の清酒製造法にしたがって行えば良い。特に本酵母の特性を発揮するには、精米歩合60%以下、好ましくは50%から40%で、アルコール添加をしない純米吟醸酒の製造に適している。この清酒を製造するための発酵条件については、醪最高温度が12℃以下、好ましくは9〜11℃の3段仕込みが適当である。
本酵母を用いると、純米吟醸酒を製造する場合、35日以内、通常30〜35日程度で上槽することができ、上記したように、各成分がバランス良く生成され、官能的にも良好な清酒の製造が可能となる。しかも、醪後半での酵母の死滅率が低いため、菌体成分のアミノ酸等の漏出による品質低下やオフフレーバーの発生を抑制できる。
The production of sake using this yeast may basically be carried out according to the usual sake production method. In particular, in order to exhibit the characteristics of the present yeast, the rice polishing ratio is 60% or less, preferably 50% to 40%, which is suitable for the production of pure rice ginjo sake without addition of alcohol. As for the fermentation conditions for producing this sake, a three-stage charging with a maximum temperature of 12 ° C. or less, preferably 9 to 11 ° C. is appropriate.
Using this yeast, when producing pure rice ginjo sake, it can be placed in the upper tank within 35 days, usually about 30-35 days. Good sake can be produced. In addition, since the death rate of yeast in the second half of the cocoon is low, it is possible to suppress the deterioration of quality and the occurrence of off-flavor due to the leakage of amino acid components of the bacterial cell components.

Example 1
An ethanol-resistant strain was isolated from the parent strain Saccharomyces cerevisiae 3K8-157A strain (FERM P-19141). That is, after taking a platinum loop from the active slant of 3K8-157A strain and inoculating it into 3 ml of Y.P.D liquid medium (1% yeast extract, 2% polypeptone, 2% glucose), 30 Culturing was carried out at 3 ° C for 3 days. Next, the culture was centrifuged (3000 rpm, 5 minutes) to obtain yeast cells, and then inoculated into 3 ml of a 20% ethanol solution (1% glucose, 0.1 M acetate buffer, pH 4.2) at 15 ° C. And left for 7 days.
Thereafter, the ethanol solution is appropriately diluted with sterilized water (usually 1 to 100,000 times diluted) and then on a Y.P.D plate (1% yeast extract, 2% polypeptone, 2% glucose, 2% agar). The strain was smeared and cultured at 30 ° C. for 3 days to obtain a strain grown on the plate.

得られた菌株中の50株についてエタノール耐性試験を行った。すなわち、前記同様にY.P.D液体培地で培養した各酵母菌株を20%エタノール存在下で15℃にて7日間静置した後、前記の如く、Y.P.Dプレート上での増殖試験を行い、増殖したコロニー数をa、20%エタノール溶液を入れる前の酵母数をbとして、生存率(%)を以下の数式により求めた。結果を図1に示す。

Example 2
Of the 50 strains obtained in Example 1, 34 strains (3 strains having a survival rate of 5% or more) including 3 strains that showed a very high survival rate were subjected to a fermentation test. That is, 1 ml of yeast culture solution was added to a medium using alcohol-dehydrated koji (20 ml of koji extract [Baume (Be) 6], 8 g of alcohol-dehydrated koji) and fermented at 15 ° C. for 14 days. After the completion of fermentation, the components were analyzed for the supernatant obtained by centrifuging the culture (3500 rpm, 30 minutes).
Fermentation ability was based on the degree of sake and the amount of alcohol produced. The degree of sake was measured by a vibrating densimeter, and the amount of alcohol produced was measured by gas chromatography. The organic acid was measured by neutralization titration according to the total acidity, that is, the total amount of the free organic acid according to the National Tax Agency prescribed analytical method. The amino acid content was measured by the formol titration method according to the analytical method prescribed by the NTA. The aroma component was measured by the headspace method using gas chromatography according to the analytical method specified by the National Tax Agency.

34株の発酵試験の結果から、発酵能と香気生成能が親株と同程度で、かつ有機酸生成能が親株よりも適度に高い株8株を選抜した。結果を表1に示す。
これらの酵母について、再度、上記と同様の発酵試験を行い、各成分と香気成分の分析値および官能試験の結果から1株(KMAL−35株)を選抜した。

Example 3
About KMAL-35 strain (NITE AP-4) obtained in Example 2 and 3K8-157A strain (FERM P-19141), which is the parent strain, of 1Kg of total rice (Yamada Nishiki 40% refined rice) A small-scale sake production test (3-stage preparation, maximum temperature of 11 ° C.) was conducted for 33 days. After the test, the analysis of each component was performed in the same manner as in Example 2. As a result, it was found that the KMAL-35 strain maintained the alcohol fermentation ability and aroma component producing ability derived from the parent strain 3K8-157A, and had higher organic acid producing ability than the parent strain.
This yeast produced 15 to 20% alcohol and 1.5 to 2.0 ml of amino acid in a small-scale production test for pure rice ginjo sake. 1.7 ml of organic acid (total acidity) was produced, which was 0.2 ml more than 1.5 ml of the parent strain. In addition, the aroma components are about 200-250 ppm for i-AmOH (isoamyl alcohol), about 8 ppm for i-AmOAc (isoamyl acetate), and about 6-8 ppm for EtOCap (ethyl caproate). It became quantity.
Measurement results of alcohol production, acidity, and amino acid content are shown in FIGS. 2 (a) to (c), and measurement results of aroma component production are shown in FIGS. 3 (a) to (c).

実施例4
実施例3における純米吟醸酒小規模製造試験の上槽前の醪中の酵母の生存率および生菌数を調べた。
まず、酵母の生存率は、メチレンブルー染色率を指標とした。すなわち、醪を酵母密度約2×108(酵母数/ml)になるように0.9%の生理食塩水で適宜希釈した。4.5mlの0.02%メチレンブルー溶液と4.5mlのリン酸緩衝液(pH4.6)を混合し、これに前記酵母希釈液1mlを加え、混合後、5分以内にトーマ氏血球計数器(EKDS社製)を用いて、一定容積の50区画中の酵母数を顕微鏡で数えた。測定した全酵母数をPt、青色に染色した酵母数をPsとすると、メチレンブルー染色率(%)は以下の数式で求められる。
Example 4
The survival rate and viable cell count of the yeast in the koji before the upper tank of the pure rice ginjo sake small-scale production test in Example 3 were examined.
First, the survival rate of yeast was determined using the methylene blue staining rate as an index. That is, the koji was appropriately diluted with 0.9% physiological saline so that the yeast density was about 2 × 10 8 (yeast number / ml). 4.5 ml of 0.02% methylene blue solution and 4.5 ml of phosphate buffer (pH 4.6) are mixed, and 1 ml of the yeast dilution is added thereto. Using EKDS, the number of yeast cells in a fixed volume of 50 compartments was counted with a microscope. When the total number of yeasts measured is Pt and the number of yeasts stained blue is Ps, the methylene blue staining rate (%) can be obtained by the following mathematical formula.

Figure 2006000025
Figure 2006000025

また、生菌数は、醪を適宜殺菌した0.9%の生理食塩水で希釈し、前記のY.P.Dプレートに一定量塗抹し、30℃で3日間培養後、増殖したコロニー数を数え、希釈倍率から逆算して生菌数を求めた。   The number of viable bacteria is the number of colonies grown after diluting with 0.9% physiological saline appropriately sterilized, smearing a certain amount on the above YP plate, culturing at 30 ° C. for 3 days. The number of viable bacteria was determined by counting backward from the dilution factor.

その結果、メチレンブルー染色率は、親株である3K8−157A株の3.17%に比べ、KMAL−35株は0.89%となり、醪後半の高エタノール存在下における酵母の死滅率の低減が確認された。   As a result, the methylene blue staining rate was 0.89% for the KMAL-35 strain compared to 3.17% for the parent strain 3K8-157A, confirming a reduction in the death rate of yeast in the presence of high ethanol in the second half of the cocoon. It was done.

本発明により、親株の持つ発酵能および香気成分生成能を維持し、さらに有機酸を親株よりも適度に多く生成する能力を有し、かつ、アルコール耐性に優れた新規の清酒用酵母を提供することができる。
本酵母を純米吟醸酒の製造に用いることにより、有機酸、香気成分をバランスよく生産し、官能的にも良好な清酒の製造が可能である。しかも、醪後半の酵母の死滅率の低下により、生産性の向上を図ることができる。
したがって、本発明は、酒造業界に貢献することができる。
