Description

本発明は、優れた乳化安定性を有する乳化剤組成物、乳化組成物及びその調製方法に関する。詳細には、従来優れた乳化力を有する素材として従来から知られているシュガービートペクチンに、更に良好な乳化安定性を付与した乳化剤組成物、及びかかる乳化剤組成物を用いた乳化組成物並びにその用途に関する。   The present invention relates to an emulsifier composition having excellent emulsion stability, an emulsion composition and a method for preparing the same. In detail, an emulsifier composition in which sugar beet pectin, which has been conventionally known as a material having an excellent emulsifying power, is further imparted with a good emulsification stability, an emulsified composition using such an emulsifier composition, and its Regarding usage.

シュガービートペクチンは、甜菜(Beta vulgaris LINNE var. rapa DUMORTIER)に由来する天然の高分子多糖類であり、α−1,4グリコシド結合したD−ガラクツロン酸の主鎖と、主にアラビノース、ガラクトースやグルコース等の中性糖からなる側鎖、及び側鎖に結合したタンパクから構成されている。その平均分子量はシトラス由来の一般的なペクチンの約1.5〜3倍に相当する約40〜55万程度であり、またシトラス由来のペクチンよりも側鎖の割合が多いため、より球状に近い構造をしているものと推定される。さらに、シュガービートペクチンは、メチルエステル化度が50%以上、総エステル化度が85%以上であり、ハイメトキシル(HM)ペクチンに該当する。 Sugar beet pectin is a natural high-molecular polysaccharide derived from sugar beet ( Beta vulgaris LINNE var. Rapa DUMORTIER ), and is a main chain of D-galacturonic acid linked with α-1,4 glycoside, mainly arabinose, galactose, It is composed of a side chain composed of a neutral sugar such as glucose and a protein bound to the side chain. Its average molecular weight is about 40 to 550,000, which is equivalent to about 1.5 to 3 times that of general pectin derived from citrus, and has a higher proportion of side chains than citrus-derived pectin, so it is more spherical. Presumed to have a structure. Furthermore, sugar beet pectin has a methyl esterification degree of 50% or more and a total esterification degree of 85% or more, and corresponds to high methoxyl (HM) pectin.

ペクチンは、各種乳化組成物に使用できることが知られているが、(例えば、特許文献1、特許文献2など)、ローメトキシルペクチン、ハイメトキシルペクチンのいずれも、シトラス由来のペクチン単独では充分な乳化力を示さない場合がある。それに対して、シュガービートペクチンは、シトラス由来のペクチンに比べて高い乳化力を持ち、シュガービートペクチンだけでも少ない添加量で小さな粒子径をもつエマルションを調製することができる。   It is known that pectin can be used in various emulsified compositions (for example, Patent Document 1, Patent Document 2, etc.). For both low methoxyl pectin and high methoxyl pectin, citrus-derived pectin alone is sufficient emulsification. May not show power. In contrast, sugar beet pectin has a higher emulsifying power than citrus-derived pectin, and an emulsion having a small particle size can be prepared with a small addition amount even with sugar beet pectin alone.

但し、シュガービートペクチンを使用した乳化組成物については、そのエマルションの保存時における乳化安定性が必ずしも良くないことが問題となっている。この問題を解決するために、シュガービートペクチンを加熱処理する方法(特許文献3、4など)、もしくは放射線照射処理するなどして高分子化する技術(特許文献5、6など)が報告されているが、それらの処理をするためには少なからず手間と費用が必要であり、また上記の改質技術では乳化安定性が不十分な場合もあった。   However, the emulsion composition using sugar beet pectin has a problem that the emulsion stability during storage of the emulsion is not always good. In order to solve this problem, a method for heat-treating sugar beet pectin (Patent Documents 3 and 4, etc.) or a technique for polymerizing by irradiation treatment (Patent Documents 5 and 6 etc.) has been reported. However, in order to carry out these treatments, a considerable amount of labor and cost are required, and the above-described modification techniques sometimes have insufficient emulsion stability.

以下に、本発明を詳細に説明する。
(1)シュガービートペクチン及びローメトキシルペクチンを含む乳化剤組成物

The present invention is described in detail below.
(1) Emulsifier composition containing sugar beet pectin and low methoxyl pectin The emulsifier composition of the present invention comprises sugar beet pectin and low methoxyl pectin in combination. According to the present invention, it becomes possible to impart high emulsification stability to sugar beet pectin, which originally has high emulsification power. By using the emulsifier composition of the present invention, high emulsification power and emulsification stability can be achieved in the emulsification composition. Can be given. The emulsifier composition of the present invention can be prepared by powder mixing sugar beet pectin with low methoxyl pectin. Moreover, the granulated emulsifier preparation can also be made by granulating the powdered sugar beet pectin and low methoxyl pectin using a granulating apparatus such as a fluidized bed granulator.

本発明において、原料として用いられるシュガービートペクチンは、甜菜(Beta vulgaris LINNE var. rapa DUMORTIER)に由来する天然の高分子多糖類であり、α−1,4グリコシド結合したD−ガラクツロン酸の主鎖と、主にアラビノース、ガラクトース及びグルコース等の中性糖からなる側鎖、及び側鎖に結合したタンパクから構成されている。その平均分子量はシトラス由来の一般的なペクチンの約1.5〜3倍に相当する約40〜55万程度であり、またシトラス由来のペクチンよりも側鎖の割合が多いため、より球状に近い構造をしているものと推察される。さらに、シュガービートペクチン(原料)は、メチルエステル化度が50%以上、総エステル化度が85%以上であり、HMペクチンに該当する。 In the present invention, sugar beet pectin used as a raw material is a natural high molecular polysaccharide derived from sugar beet ( Beta vulgaris LINNE var. Rapa DUMORTIER ), and is a main chain of D-galacturonic acid linked with α-1,4 glycosides. And side chains composed of neutral sugars such as arabinose, galactose and glucose, and proteins bound to the side chains. Its average molecular weight is about 40 to 550,000, which is equivalent to about 1.5 to 3 times that of general pectin derived from citrus, and has a higher proportion of side chains than citrus-derived pectin, so it is more spherical. It is inferred that it has a structure. Furthermore, sugar beet pectin (raw material) has a methyl esterification degree of 50% or more and a total esterification degree of 85% or more, and corresponds to HM pectin.

当該シュガービートペクチンは、市販されており、誰でも商業的に入手することができる。商業的に入手可能な製品としては、例えば、ビストップD−2250(三栄源エフ・エフ・アイ株式会社製)を挙げることができる。   The sugar beet pectin is commercially available, and anyone can obtain it commercially. An example of a commercially available product is Bistop D-2250 (manufactured by San-Ei Gen FFI Co., Ltd.).

本発明で使用するローメトキシルペクチンも、また、食品添加物として広く流通しており、容易に入手することができるが、好ましくは食品分野において最も多く使われているシトラス由来のローメトキシルペクチンを使用できる。原料としてはレモン、ライム、オレンジもしくはグレープフルーツ等を挙げることができる。なお、当該ペクチンのエステル化度は50%未満であるローメトキシルペクチンであることが望ましい。シトラス由来のペクチンは、原料からの粗抽出段階ではエステル化度50%以上のハイメトキシル状態である。メトキシル化度を低減させるためには一般的に酸、アルカリ、酵素、アンモニア処理及びその組み合わせが用いられる。アンモニア処理の際にペクチンはアミド化されるが、本発明に用いるローメトキシルペクチンは、アミド化されていないものが好ましい。   The low methoxyl pectin used in the present invention is also widely distributed as a food additive and can be easily obtained, but preferably the citrus-derived low methoxyl pectin most frequently used in the food field is used. it can. Examples of the raw material include lemon, lime, orange and grapefruit. The degree of esterification of the pectin is preferably low methoxyl pectin, which is less than 50%. The citrus-derived pectin is in a high methoxyl state with an esterification degree of 50% or more in the crude extraction stage from the raw material. In order to reduce the degree of methoxylation, acid, alkali, enzyme, ammonia treatment and combinations thereof are generally used. Pectin is amidated during the ammonia treatment, but the low methoxyl pectin used in the present invention is preferably not amidated.

通常、シュガービートペクチンおよびローメトキシルペクチンは、塊状物、玉状物、粗粉砕物、顆粒状、粒状、または粉末状(スプレードライ粉末を含む)の形態の別を問わず、いずれの形態のものを使用することができる。   Sugar beet pectin and low methoxyl pectin are usually in any form, regardless of whether they are in the form of a lump, ball, coarsely pulverized product, granule, granule, or powder (including spray-dried powder) Can be used.

更には、シュガービートペクチンとローメトキシルペクチンの配合割合は、重量比で、10:90〜90:10、より好ましくは、40:60〜80:20、更に好ましくは、50:50〜70:30とするのが好ましい。   Furthermore, the mixing ratio of sugar beet pectin and low methoxyl pectin is 10:90 to 90:10, more preferably 40:60 to 80:20, and still more preferably 50:50 to 70:30 in terms of weight ratio. Is preferable.

上記の方法によって調製される乳化剤組成物は、原料として用いたシュガービートペクチンに比べて乳化安定性に優れている。一般に乳化剤の乳化安定性は、調製されるエマルションの平均粒子径が小さく、またその粒子径が経時的に安定して保持されるほど、優れていると評価される(「アラビアゴムで乳化したO/Wエマルジョンの濁度比法による研究」、薬学雑誌、112(12).906−913.(1992)参照)。なお、ここでかかる本発明の乳化剤組成物の乳化力の評価基準となる乳化組成物(エマルション)の調製方法、その平均粒子径の測定方法及び経時的安定性の評価方法については、後述する実験例に記載する方法に従うことができる。   The emulsifier composition prepared by the above method is superior in emulsion stability compared to sugar beet pectin used as a raw material. In general, the emulsification stability of an emulsifier is considered to be superior as the average particle diameter of the emulsion prepared is small and the particle diameter is more stably maintained over time ("O emulsified with gum arabic"). / W emulsion study by turbidity ratio method ", Pharmaceutical Journal, 112 (12) .906-913. (1992)). In addition, about the preparation method of the emulsification composition (emulsion) used as the evaluation reference | standard of the emulsification power of this emulsifier composition of this invention here, the measuring method of the average particle diameter, and the evaluation method of temporal stability are the experiment mentioned later. The method described in the examples can be followed.

更に、シュガービートペクチン及びローメトキシルペクチンは、粉体混合を行う前、もしくは、粉体混合した後に、加熱処理をすることにより、更に高い乳化安定性を付与することができる。更には、粉体混合後に加熱処理を行うのが好ましい。   Furthermore, sugar beet pectin and low methoxyl pectin can impart higher emulsion stability by heat treatment before powder mixing or after powder mixing. Furthermore, it is preferable to perform heat treatment after powder mixing.

加熱処理の条件としては、相対湿度20〜90%および50〜150℃の条件下、粉末状態で1〜48時間である。詳細には、通常、上記の相対湿度および温度範囲になるように制御された恒温恒湿槽内で、粉末状のシュガービートペクチンとローメトキシルペクチンを、それぞれ単独か或いは両者を粉体混合した後、所定時間加熱処理することによって行うことができる。相対湿度20〜90%および温度50〜150℃の条件で1〜48時間加熱処理して調製されるものであるが、好適には相対湿度50〜90%および温度50〜90℃の条件、より好適には相対湿度60〜80%および温度60〜80℃の条件で、好ましくは1〜24時間程度、より好ましくは2〜24時間加熱処理したペクチンを用いることができる。   The conditions for the heat treatment are 1 to 48 hours in a powder state under conditions of a relative humidity of 20 to 90% and 50 to 150 ° C. In detail, usually, powdered sugar beet pectin and low methoxyl pectin, either individually or after powder mixing in a thermo-hygrostat controlled to the above relative humidity and temperature range. The heat treatment can be performed for a predetermined time. It is prepared by heat treatment for 1 to 48 hours at a relative humidity of 20 to 90% and a temperature of 50 to 150 ° C, but preferably at a relative humidity of 50 to 90% and a temperature of 50 to 90 ° C. Suitably, pectin that is heat-treated under conditions of a relative humidity of 60 to 80% and a temperature of 60 to 80 ° C., preferably for about 1 to 24 hours, more preferably for 2 to 24 hours can be used.

このように調製される加熱処理ペクチンを乳化剤として使用すると、未加熱処理(未改質)のペクチンに比べて、乳化組成物を調製した場合の乳化粒子の平均粒子径が小さく、その経時的な変化も少ない(高い乳化性および乳化安定性を有する)。この作用機序としては、加熱処理によってタンパク質成分を介した分子間或いは分子内相互作用が起こり、ペクチンの疎水性が増すことによって界面活性が上昇するものと考えられる。前記加熱処理ペクチンを使用することにより、未加熱のペクチン(シュガービートペクチン及びローメトキシルペクチン)を使用するよりも、乳化組成物の調製時に添加する量を減らすことができると言うメリットもある((2)乳化組成物にて詳述)。   When the heat-treated pectin prepared in this way is used as an emulsifier, the average particle size of the emulsified particles when the emulsified composition is prepared is smaller than that of unheated (unmodified) pectin. Little change (high emulsifiability and emulsification stability). As the mechanism of this action, it is considered that interfacial or intramolecular interaction occurs via protein components by heat treatment, and the surface activity is increased by increasing the hydrophobicity of pectin. By using the heat-treated pectin, there is an advantage that the amount to be added at the time of preparing the emulsion composition can be reduced as compared to using unheated pectin (sugar beet pectin and low methoxyl pectin) (( 2) Detailed description in emulsion composition).

なお、当該加熱処理は減圧下で行うこともできる。減圧条件は、特に制限されないが、例えば0.01〜500mmHg程度、好ましくは0.01〜300mmHg程度、より好ましくは0.01〜200mmHg程度の条件を挙げることができる。   Note that the heat treatment can be performed under reduced pressure. The decompression conditions are not particularly limited, and examples include conditions of about 0.01 to 500 mmHg, preferably about 0.01 to 300 mmHg, more preferably about 0.01 to 200 mmHg.

Specifically, suitable for emulsification of beverages, powdered beverages, desserts, chewing gum, tablet confectionery, snack confectionery, processed fishery products, processed livestock products, retort foods, etc., emulsification of oily fragrances, emulsification of oily pigments, etc. Can be used for The emulsifier of the present invention can be used as it is in the form of an aqueous solution, in the form of granules or powder, but can also be prepared by blending other carriers and additives as necessary. In this case, the carriers and additives to be used can be appropriately selected according to a conventional method depending on the type of product using the emulsifier composition and its use. For example, it can be used by mixing with saccharides such as dextrin, maltose and lactose and polyhydric alcohols such as glycerin and propylene glycol.

(2) Emulsion composition Moreover, this invention provides the emulsion composition (emulsion) prepared using the above-mentioned emulsifier composition. The emulsified composition can be prepared by dispersing and stabilizing a hydrophobic substance as a dispersoid in a hydrophilic dispersion medium using the aforementioned emulsifier composition. Examples of the emulsified composition include oil-in-water (O / W) type and W / O / W type emulsified compositions.

Among these, when the emulsifier composition is included at least 1.0% by mass or more, a higher emulsification stability effect is exhibited. However, when sugar beet pectin and low methoxyl pectin subjected to the above heat treatment are used, 1 It is possible to prepare an emulsified composition having high emulsification stability even at less than 0.0% by mass.

乳化組成物(乳化組成物)の調製方法は、特に制限されず、水中油滴(O/W)型エマルションまたはW/O/W型エマルションの調製に関する常法に従って、疎水性物質と親水性分散媒とを上記乳化剤組成物の存在下で、ホモジナイザーや高圧噴射などを利用して機械的に攪拌乳化することによって行うことができる。より具体的には、下記の方法を例示することができる。   The method for preparing the emulsified composition (emulsified composition) is not particularly limited, and the hydrophobic substance and the hydrophilic dispersion are prepared according to a conventional method for preparing an oil-in-water (O / W) emulsion or a W / O / W emulsion. It can be carried out by mechanically stirring and emulsifying the medium in the presence of the emulsifier composition using a homogenizer or high-pressure jet. More specifically, the following method can be illustrated.

まず、シュガービートペクチン及びローメトキシルペクチンを含む本発明の乳化剤組成物を水等の親水性溶媒に溶解し、これに、目的の疎水性物質(例えば油脂、また予め油脂に香料や色素を溶解した混合液)を撹拌機等で混合し、予備乳化する。なお、この際、必要に応じてエステルガムやSAIB等の比重調整剤を用いて疎水性物質の比重を調整してもよい。次いで得られた予備乳化混合液を、乳化機を利用して乳化する。   First, the emulsifier composition of the present invention containing sugar beet pectin and low methoxyl pectin is dissolved in a hydrophilic solvent such as water, and a desired hydrophobic substance (for example, fat or oil, or a fragrance or a pigment is previously dissolved in fat or oil). The mixed solution) is mixed with a stirrer or the like and pre-emulsified. At this time, the specific gravity of the hydrophobic substance may be adjusted using a specific gravity adjusting agent such as ester gum or SAIB as necessary. Next, the obtained pre-emulsified mixture is emulsified using an emulsifier.

なお、ここで疎水性物質としては前述のものを例示することができるが、油性香料や油性色素を用いて乳化香料や乳化色素を調製する場合は、上記疎水性物質として予め油脂に油性香料や油性色素を溶解した混合液を用いることが好ましい。これによって、より乳化を安定化し、また成分の揮発を予防することができる。また油性香料や油性色素を溶解する油脂としては、特に制限されないが、通常、中鎖トリグリセライド(炭素数6〜12の脂肪酸トリグリセライド)、及びコーン油、サフラワー油、または大豆油などの植物油を用いることができる。   In addition, although the above-mentioned thing can be illustrated as a hydrophobic substance here, when preparing an emulsified fragrance | flavor and an emulsified dye using an oil-based fragrance | flavor and an oil-based pigment | dye, an oil-based fragrance | flavor is previously added to fats and oils as the said hydrophobic substance It is preferable to use a mixed solution in which an oily pigment is dissolved. As a result, emulsification can be further stabilized and volatilization of components can be prevented. In addition, oils and fats that dissolve oily fragrances and oily pigments are not particularly limited, but medium chain triglycerides (C6-C12 fatty acid triglycerides) and vegetable oils such as corn oil, safflower oil, or soybean oil are usually used. be able to.

乳化に使用する乳化機は、特に制限されず、目的とする乳化粒子の大きさや、試料の粘度などに応じて適宜選択することができる。例えば、高圧ホモジナイザーの他、ナノマイザーやディスパーミル、コロイドミルなどの乳化機を使用することができる。   The emulsifier used for emulsification is not particularly limited, and can be appropriately selected according to the size of the target emulsified particles, the viscosity of the sample, and the like. For example, in addition to a high-pressure homogenizer, an emulsifier such as a nanomizer, a disper mill, or a colloid mill can be used.

乳化工程では、前述するように、親水性分散媒中に、攪拌下、疎水性物質を添加し、攪拌羽を回転して予備乳化し、粒子径約2〜5μmの乳化粒子を調製した後、ホモジナイザーやナノマイザーなどの乳化機を用いて微細で均一な粒子(例えば、平均粒子径1μm以下、好ましくは0.8μm以下)を調製する。   In the emulsification step, as described above, a hydrophobic substance is added to the hydrophilic dispersion medium under stirring, the stirring blade is rotated and pre-emulsified to prepare emulsified particles having a particle diameter of about 2 to 5 μm. Fine and uniform particles (for example, an average particle size of 1 μm or less, preferably 0.8 μm or less) are prepared using an emulsifier such as a homogenizer or a nanomizer.

なお、β−カロチンなどの色素の多くは、それ自身、結晶の状態でサスペンションとして存在する。したがって、これらの色素をエマルション(乳化色素)として調製するには、まず、色素の結晶を適当な油脂と高温で混合し溶解してから、親水性分散媒に添加することが好ましい。   In addition, many pigment | dyes, such as (beta) -carotene, itself exist as a suspension in the state of a crystal | crystallization. Therefore, in order to prepare these dyes as emulsions (emulsified dyes), it is preferable that the dye crystals are first mixed with an appropriate oil and fat at high temperature and dissolved, and then added to the hydrophilic dispersion medium.

斯くして前述の乳化剤組成物を用いて調製される乳化組成物(エマルション)は、シュガービートペクチンのみを用いて調製した乳化組成物と比較して、粒子の粒度分布が均一であり、かつ、加熱や長期保存、経時変化などの***(過酷条件)によっても、乳化粒子同士が凝集したり、合一して乳化状態が劣化することが有意に抑制されており、乳化安定性が高い。   Thus, the emulsion composition (emulsion) prepared using the above-described emulsifier composition has a uniform particle size distribution of the particles as compared with the emulsion composition prepared using only sugar beet pectin, and Even when abused (severe conditions) such as heating, long-term storage, and change with time, it is significantly suppressed that the emulsified particles are aggregated or coalesced to deteriorate the emulsified state, and the emulsification stability is high.

なお、本発明の乳化組成物中における、親水性分散媒と疎水性物質の配合割合としては任意に調整することができるが、例えば、親水性分散媒:疎水性物質=50:50〜99:1、好ましくは、70:30〜95:5の割合で配合することができる。   The mixing ratio of the hydrophilic dispersion medium and the hydrophobic substance in the emulsion composition of the present invention can be arbitrarily adjusted. For example, the hydrophilic dispersion medium: hydrophobic substance = 50: 50 to 99: 1, Preferably, it can mix | blend in the ratio of 70: 30-95: 5.

本発明の乳化剤組成物を使用して調製した乳化組成物を用いる飲食物としては、特に制限はされないが、例えば、乳飲料、乳酸菌飲料、炭酸飲料、果実飲料、粉末飲料、スポーツ飲料、紅茶飲料、緑茶飲料などの飲料類;カスタードプリン、ミルクプリンなどのプリン類;ゼリー、ババロア及びヨーグルトなどのデザート類;ミルクアイスクリーム、アイスキャンディーなどの冷菓類;チューインガムや風船ガムのガム類;マーブルチョコレートなどのコーティングチョコレートの他、メロンチョコレートなどの香味を付与したチョコレートなどのチョコレート類;ハードキャンディー、ソフトキャンディー、キャラメル、ドロップなどのキャラメル類;ハードビスケット、クッキー、おかきなどの焼き菓子類;コーンスープ、ポタージュスープなどのスープ類、ドレッシング、ケチャップ、マヨネーズ、たれ、ソースなどのソース類;ハム、ソーセージ、焼き豚などの畜肉加工品;魚肉ソーセージ、蒲鉾などの水産練り製品;バター、マーガリン、チーズなどの油脂製品類などの加工食品を例示することができる。   The food and drink using the emulsified composition prepared using the emulsifier composition of the present invention is not particularly limited. For example, milk drink, lactic acid bacteria drink, carbonated drink, fruit drink, powder drink, sports drink, tea drink Beverages such as green tea beverages; puddings such as custard pudding and milk pudding; desserts such as jelly, bavaroa and yogurt; frozen desserts such as milk ice cream and ice candy; chewing gum and bubble gum gum; marble chocolate etc. Chocolates such as melon chocolate and other flavored chocolates; hard candy, soft candy, caramel, drop and other caramels; baked confectionery such as hard biscuits, cookies, and rice cakes; corn soup, potage The Soups such as pudding, dressing, ketchup, mayonnaise, sauce, sauces, etc .; processed meat products such as ham, sausage, grilled pork; marine products such as fish sausages, salmon; fat products such as butter, margarine, cheese And processed foods such as

乳化直後の実施例1−1乃至1−5と比較例1−1の平均粒子径および分布範囲には顕著な差が認められなかった。また、比較例1−2乃至1−4の乳化直後の平均粒子径は比較例1−1と比べて顕著に大きく、シトラス由来のペクチン単独ではローメトキシルペクチン、ハイメトキシルペクチンのいずれにおいても乳化性が不十分であることがわかった。比較例1−5の乳化直後の平均粒子径は比較例1−1と比べて僅かに大きくなった。   No significant difference was observed in the average particle size and distribution range of Examples 1-1 to 1-5 and Comparative Example 1-1 immediately after emulsification. Moreover, the average particle diameter immediately after emulsification of Comparative Examples 1-2 to 1-4 is significantly larger than that of Comparative Example 1-1, and citrus-derived pectin alone is emulsifiable in both low methoxyl pectin and high methoxyl pectin. Was found to be insufficient. The average particle size immediately after emulsification in Comparative Example 1-5 was slightly larger than that in Comparative Example 1-1.

更に、60℃で3日間保存後では、比較例1−1では約4倍の粒子径の増加が確認されたが、実施例1−1乃至1−5では平均粒子径の増加が抑制された。中でも、実施例1−2、1−3及び1−5でこの効果が顕著であり、乳化安定性が向上することが示された。これらの結果からアミド化されていないローメトキシルペクチンのほうがハイメトキシルペクチン及びアミド化されているローメトキシルペクチンに比べてより高い乳化安定効果を発揮することが確認された。中でも、シュガービートペクチンとシトラス由来のローメトキシルペクチンの配合割合が、3:7〜5:5である実施例1−1〜1−3、1−5が非常に良好な乳化安定性を示した。   Furthermore, after storage at 60 ° C. for 3 days, an increase of about 4 times the particle size was confirmed in Comparative Example 1-1, but an increase in the average particle size was suppressed in Examples 1-1 to 1-5. . Among these, Examples 1-2, 1-3, and 1-5 showed this effect remarkably, indicating that the emulsion stability was improved. From these results, it was confirmed that the unmethoxylated low methoxyl pectin exhibits a higher emulsification stabilizing effect than the high methoxyl pectin and the amidated low methoxyl pectin.

The diameter was the same as in Examples 1-1 and 1-2, and was sufficiently small even after storage at 60 ° C. for 3 days. It was confirmed that the emulsifier composition of the present invention exhibits the same emulsifiability and emulsification stability at about half the amount of the emulsifier composition by heat treatment as compared with the non-heated one.

表中の「クリーミング」「下すき」「ネックリング」の語についての説明
クリーミング:乳化粒子同士が合一(凝集)し、大きくなり、系内の連続相(本実験例の場合は水相)との比重差の影響が大きくなるために起こる、乳化粒子が容器上部、水面近くに浮き上がる現象のことを言う。粒子径1μm以上の粒子が多くなるとクリーミングしやすくなる。
下すき:クリーミングによって、乳化粒子が容器上部に偏るため、その分容器下部の水相の割合が大きくなる結果、容器下部が透明になっていく現象のことを言う。
ネックリング:クリーミングによって容器上部のクリーミング層は表面張力の影響でボトル壁面付近に集まり易くなり、容器上部(ボトルネック)にリング状の層を作る。この現象のことを言う。
Explanation of the terms “creaming”, “lower plow”, and “neck ring” in the table Creaming: Emulsified particles coalesce (aggregate) and become larger, and the continuous phase in the system (in this experiment example, aqueous phase) This is the phenomenon that the emulsified particles rise near the top of the container and near the water surface due to the large influence of the difference in specific gravity. When the number of particles having a particle diameter of 1 μm or more increases, creaming is likely to occur.
Lower plow: Refers to the phenomenon that the lower part of the container becomes transparent as a result of the proportion of the water phase in the lower part of the container being increased by creaming because the emulsified particles are biased to the upper part of the container.
Neck ring: The creaming layer at the top of the container tends to gather near the wall surface of the bottle due to the effect of surface tension, and a ring-shaped layer is formed at the top of the container (bottleneck). Say this phenomenon.

表4より、シュガービートペクチンとシトラス由来のローメトキシルペクチンの乳化剤組成物によって調製されたオレンジオイルエマルションを用いた実施例3―1の飲料は、シュガービートペクチン単独のものに比べて顕著に安定性が向上した。本発明の乳化剤組成物は、乳化安定性が良好な飲料を提供するのに役立つことがわかる。   From Table 4, the beverage of Example 3-1 using the orange oil emulsion prepared by the emulsifier composition of sugar beet pectin and citrus-derived low methoxyl pectin is significantly more stable than that of sugar beet pectin alone. Improved. It can be seen that the emulsifier composition of the present invention is useful for providing a beverage having good emulsion stability.

本発明により、乳化性及び乳化安定性に優れた乳化剤を取得することができ、粒子径が小さく、粒度分布が均一であり、かつ、加熱や長期保存、冷凍解凍、経時変化などの***(過酷条件)によっても乳化粒子同士が凝集したり、合一して乳化状態が劣化することが抑制されており、非常に安定な乳化組成物を提供することができる。   According to the present invention, an emulsifier excellent in emulsifiability and emulsification stability can be obtained, the particle size is small, the particle size distribution is uniform, and abuse such as heating, long-term storage, freezing and thawing, aging, etc. It is possible to provide a very stable emulsified composition because the emulsified particles are agglomerated or coalesced with each other and the emulsified state is deteriorated.

実験例3において、40℃で7日間保存後の容器入り飲料の写真であり、写真左の比較例3−1は、飲料上部にネックリング、下部に下すきが見られ、乳化安定性が悪くなっているのに対し、写真右の実施例3−1はネックリングも下すきも見られず良好な安定状態を示している。In Experimental example 3, it is a photograph of the beverage in a container after storing for 7 days at 40 ° C., Comparative Example 3-1 on the left of the photograph shows a neck ring at the top of the beverage and a plow at the bottom, and the emulsion stability is poor On the other hand, Example 3-1 on the right side of the photograph shows a stable state with neither neck ring nor clearance.
