Description

本発明は、特定量のコーヒー抽出物(コーヒーエキス)と炭酸水素ナトリウムとを含有する容器詰コーヒー飲料及びその製造方法に関する。また本発明は、特定のコーヒー抽出物と炭酸水素ナトリウムとを配合することにより容器詰コーヒー飲料の沈殿物発生抑制方法にも関する。   The present invention relates to a packaged coffee beverage containing a specific amount of coffee extract (coffee extract) and sodium hydrogen carbonate, and a method for producing the same. The present invention also relates to a method for suppressing the occurrence of precipitates in a container-packed coffee beverage by blending a specific coffee extract and sodium bicarbonate.

コーヒー飲料は多くの人に愛飲されている嗜好性が高い飲料の一つである。容器詰コーヒー飲料は、いつでも手軽にコーヒー飲料を楽しむことができるため、その利便性により消費者ニーズが拡大してきた。このニーズに応えるため、コーヒー飲料を工業的に生産した容器詰コーヒー飲料が数多く上市されている。   Coffee drinks are one of the highly favorite drinks loved by many people. Containerized coffee beverages can be enjoyed easily at any time, and consumer convenience has expanded due to their convenience. In order to meet this need, many container-packed coffee beverages that are produced industrially are put on the market.

近年における消費者の本格志向により、従来品と比較して呈味や香味を向上させた容器詰コーヒー飲料が強く望まれている。容器詰コーヒー飲料の呈味や香味を向上させるためには、各種添加物や香料(フレーバー)を添加することが最も容易な方法として考えられるが、添加物や香料(フレーバー)の不自然な呈味や香味が残存してしまう問題があった。   In recent years, due to full-scale consumer preferences, containerized coffee beverages with improved taste and flavor compared to conventional products are strongly desired. In order to improve the taste and flavor of packaged coffee beverages, it is considered the easiest method to add various additives and flavors (flavor), but unnatural appearance of additives and flavors (flavor) There was a problem that the flavor and flavor remained.

その一方で、容器詰コーヒー飲料に含まれるコーヒーやミルクの含有量を既存品と比較して増量する処方を採用した商品も数多く上市されている。しかし、容器詰コーヒー飲料中のコーヒー液やミルクを増量すると、浮遊物や沈殿物(以下、まとめて沈殿物と呼ぶ)が発生しやすくなることから商品価値が低下するという問題があった。   On the other hand, there are many products on the market that adopt a prescription that increases the content of coffee and milk contained in a packaged coffee beverage compared to existing products. However, when the amount of coffee liquid or milk in the container-packed coffee beverage is increased, there is a problem that the product value is lowered because floating matters and precipitates (hereinafter collectively referred to as precipitates) are easily generated.

コーヒー飲料において沈殿物の発生を抑制する方法としては、様々な方法がこれまでに提案されている。例えば、クズウコン科の植物から得られるタンパク質を添加することにより沈殿物の発生を抑制したコーヒー飲料や沈殿物発生抑制方法が知られている(特許文献1)。   Various methods have been proposed so far for suppressing the generation of precipitates in coffee beverages. For example, a coffee beverage or a precipitate generation suppression method is known in which generation of a precipitate is suppressed by adding a protein obtained from a plant of the family Kudzuaceae (Patent Document 1).

また、クロロゲン酸類を高濃度にすることにより、長期間の保存時の沈殿発生を抑制した容器詰コーヒー飲料や沈殿発生抑制方法も知られている(特許文献2)。 Moreover, the container-packed coffee drink which suppressed generation | occurrence | production of the precipitation at the time of long-term storage by making chlorogenic acids high concentration and the method for suppressing the precipitation generation are also known (patent document 2).

さらに、配合するミルクを予備加熱しておき、得られたコーヒーとミルクとを混合することにより沈殿発生を抑制したコーヒー飲料や沈殿発生抑制方法も知られている(特許文献3)。   Furthermore, a coffee beverage and a method for suppressing precipitation are also known in which milk to be blended is preheated and the resulting coffee and milk are mixed to suppress the occurrence of precipitation (Patent Document 3).

また、水相に親水性酸化防止剤を添加し、かつ油相に親油性酸化防止剤を添加することにより加熱殺菌後の沈殿生成を抑制したコーヒー飲料や沈殿発生抑制方法も知られている(特許文献4)。 There are also known coffee beverages and methods for suppressing precipitation by suppressing the formation of precipitates after heat sterilization by adding a hydrophilic antioxidant to the aqueous phase and adding a lipophilic antioxidant to the oil phase ( Patent Document 4).

しかし、沈殿発生を抑制する方法として特別な成分を添加すると、コーヒー飲料が本来有する呈味性や香味性のバランスを保持することが極めて難しくなる。また、コストも余分にかかるため製造原価の大幅な上昇をもたらす可能性がある。一方、製造工程に工夫を施して沈殿発生抑制する方法は、工程が複雑化して工業的な実用化が困難である場合がある。また、複雑化した工程を経るとどうしても最終製品において品質のブレが生じやすくなり、品質が均一化した商品を消費者に提供することが困難となる。さらに管理コストの向上にもつながるため好ましくない。   However, when a special component is added as a method for suppressing the occurrence of precipitation, it becomes extremely difficult to maintain the balance of taste and flavor inherent in coffee beverages. In addition, the cost is extra, which may lead to a significant increase in manufacturing costs. On the other hand, the method of suppressing the occurrence of precipitation by devising the manufacturing process may make the process complicated and difficult to put into practical use. In addition, when the complicated process is performed, quality blur tends to occur in the final product, and it becomes difficult to provide a consumer with a product with uniform quality. Furthermore, it leads to an improvement in management cost, which is not preferable.

このため、コーヒー飲料、特にコーヒー液とミルク成分を高配合したコーヒー飲料で発生する沈殿物を抑制しながらも呈味性や香味性に優れており、特別な成分の添加や製造工程の複雑化をすることなく安定供給することができる容器詰コーヒー飲料やその製造方法、そして沈殿物の発生抑制方法が飲料業界で求められていた。   For this reason, it is excellent in taste and flavor while suppressing precipitates generated in coffee beverages, especially coffee beverages with high blending of coffee liquid and milk components, adding special ingredients and complicating the manufacturing process There has been a demand in the beverage industry for a containerized coffee beverage that can be stably supplied without having to be used, a method for producing the same, and a method for suppressing the generation of precipitates.

Coffee extract (coffee extract Colombia OH-1, manufactured by Ogawa Fragrance Co., Ltd.), emulsifier (homogen (registered trademark) 1379, manufactured by Saneigen FFI Co., Ltd.), sodium bicarbonate (produced by Tokuyama Co., Ltd.), pasteurized milk, granulated Four types of coffee beverage samples were prepared using sugar and ion-exchanged water. Each sample (1 to 4) was formulated so that the blended amount of coffee extract and the amount of sodium hydrogen carbonate were different, and adjusted by messing up with ion-exchanged water. The coffee liquid obtained by mixing and filtering the raw materials was filled in a plastic container to prepare sample liquids 1 to 4. The obtained sample liquid was filled in each container and sterilized (retort sterilization, 124 ° C., 20 minutes). A 4-layer plastic container (made by Toyo Seikan Co., Ltd.) was used to strengthen the inside of the plastic container and have an oxygen absorption capacity so that it can withstand sterilization treatment and heated sales.

レトルト殺菌直後のサンプルにおける沈殿物発生度合いを目視で観察した。各サンプルの処方と沈殿物の発生の有無について表1に示す。   The degree of precipitate generation in the sample immediately after retort sterilization was visually observed. Table 1 shows the formulation of each sample and the presence or absence of precipitates.

表1には、乳化剤の添加量を揃えて、コーヒーエキス量と炭酸水素ナトリウム量の数値を変えた場合の試験結果が示されている。具体的には、コーヒーエキスの配合量が7.90〜8.20重量%の範囲内であって、炭酸水素ナトリウムの配合量が1600〜1700ppmの範囲内にある場合、コーヒーエキス配合量が7.90重量%であって、かつ炭酸水素ナトリウム量が1700ppmであると沈殿物が発生した(サンプル2:×印)が、これ以外の組合せでは沈殿物が発生しなかった(サンプル1、3、4:○印)。この結果から、沈殿物の発生には、コーヒーエキス量と炭酸水素ナトリウム量とが相互に関与していることがわかった。   Table 1 shows the test results when the amount of the coffee extract and the amount of sodium hydrogen carbonate are changed with the added amount of the emulsifier adjusted. Specifically, when the blending amount of the coffee extract is in the range of 7.90 to 8.20% by weight and the blending amount of sodium bicarbonate is in the range of 1600 to 1700 ppm, the blending amount of the coffee extract is 7 When 90% by weight and the amount of sodium hydrogen carbonate was 1700 ppm, a precipitate was generated (sample 2: x mark), but no precipitate was generated in other combinations (samples 1, 3, and 2). 4: ○). From this result, it was found that the amount of coffee extract and the amount of sodium hydrogen carbonate were mutually involved in the generation of precipitates.

実施例2:
コーヒー抽出物(コーヒーエキス コロンビアOH−1、小川香料社製)、乳化剤(ホモゲン(登録商標)1379、三栄源エフ・エフ・アイ社製)、炭酸水素ナトリウム(トクヤマ社製)、殺菌乳、グラニュー糖、イオン交換水を用いて4種類のコーヒー飲料サンプルを作製した。サンプル(5〜8)毎に、コーヒーエキス量と炭酸水素ナトリウム量が異なるように処方組し、イオン交換水によるメスアップで調節した。前記原料を混合して濾過して得られたコーヒー液をプラスチック製容器に充填し、サンプル液5〜8を調製した。得られたサンプル液をそれぞれ容器に充填して殺菌処理(レトルト殺菌、124℃、20分)を行った。なお、殺菌処理と加温販売に耐えられるように、プラスチック容器の内部を強化し酸素吸収力を有する4層構造のプラスチック製容器(東洋製罐社製)を採用した。

表2には、乳化剤の添加量を揃えて炭酸水素ナトリウム量の数値を変えた場合の試験結果が示されている。具体的には、炭酸水素ナトリウムの含有量が多すぎても(1800ppm)、少なすぎても(1300ppm)沈殿物が発生することが確認された。なお、表1の結果からは、コーヒーエキス配合量が沈殿物の発生にどのように関与しているかは明らかでない。   Table 2 shows the test results when the amount of sodium bicarbonate was changed with the added amount of emulsifier added. Specifically, it was confirmed that a precipitate was generated even when the content of sodium hydrogen carbonate was too much (1800 ppm) or too little (1300 ppm). In addition, it is not clear from the results of Table 1 how the coffee extract content is involved in the generation of precipitates.

コーヒーエキス(コーヒーエキス コロンビアOH−1、小川香料社製)、乳化剤(ホモゲン(登録商標)1379、三栄源エフ・エフ・アイ社製)、炭酸水素ナトリウム(トクヤマ社製)、殺菌乳、グラニュー糖、イオン交換水を用いて6種類のコーヒー飲料サンプルを作製した。サンプル(9〜14)毎に、コーヒーエキス量と炭酸水素ナトリウム量が異なるように処方組し、イオン交換水によるメスアップで調節した。前記原料を混合して濾過して得られたコーヒー液をプラスチック製容器に充填し、サンプル液9〜14を調製した。得られたサンプル液をそれぞれ容器に充填して殺菌処理(レトルト殺菌、124℃、20分)を行った。なお、殺菌処理と加温販売に耐えられるように、プラスチック容器の内部を強化し酸素吸収力を有する4層構造のプラスチック製容器(東洋製罐社製)を採用した。
Example 3:
Coffee extract (coffee extract Colombia OH-1, manufactured by Ogawa Fragrance Co., Ltd.), emulsifier (homogen (registered trademark) 1379, manufactured by Saneigen FFI Co., Ltd.), sodium bicarbonate (produced by Tokuyama Co., Ltd.), pasteurized milk, granulated sugar Six types of coffee beverage samples were prepared using ion-exchanged water. Each sample (9-14) was formulated so that the amount of coffee extract and the amount of sodium hydrogen carbonate differed, and adjusted by measuring up with ion-exchanged water. The coffee liquid obtained by mixing and filtering the raw materials was filled in a plastic container to prepare sample liquids 9 to 14. The obtained sample liquid was filled in each container and sterilized (retort sterilization, 124 ° C., 20 minutes). A 4-layer plastic container (made by Toyo Seikan Co., Ltd.) was used to strengthen the inside of the plastic container and have an oxygen absorption capacity so that it can withstand sterilization treatment and heated sales.

レトルト殺菌直後のサンプルにおける沈殿物発生度合いを目視で観察した。各サンプルの処方と沈殿物の発生の有無について表3に示す。     The degree of precipitate generation in the sample immediately after retort sterilization was visually observed. Table 3 shows the formulation of each sample and the presence or absence of precipitates.

表3には、乳化剤の添加量を揃えて、コーヒーエキス量と炭酸水素ナトリウム量の数値を変えた場合の試験結果が示されている。具体的には、コーヒーエキスの配合量が8.9重量%以下、より詳細には7.90〜8.60重量%の範囲内であれば沈殿物の発生は確認されなかったが、コーヒーエキスの配合量が8.90重量%以上では沈殿物の発生が確認された。一方、炭酸水素ナトリウムの含有量が1300ppmを超える場合には、1500ppm(サンプル14)を除いて沈殿物の発生が抑制された。   Table 3 shows test results when the amount of the coffee extract and the amount of sodium bicarbonate are changed with the amount of the emulsifier added. Specifically, when the blending amount of the coffee extract is 8.9% by weight or less, and more specifically within the range of 7.90 to 8.60% by weight, the occurrence of precipitates was not confirmed. The occurrence of precipitates was confirmed at a blending amount of 8.90% by weight or more. On the other hand, when the content of sodium bicarbonate exceeded 1300 ppm, the generation of precipitates was suppressed except for 1500 ppm (sample 14).

考察:
上記実施例1〜3の結果からは、以下の点が明らかになった。すなわち、コーヒー飲料の沈殿物の発生には、コーヒーエキス含有量と炭酸水素ナトリウム含有量との両方が関与している(実施例1)。また、コーヒー飲料中の炭酸水素ナトリウム含有量は、多すぎても少なくても沈殿物が発生するが、特定の範囲内であればかかる沈殿物は発生しない。具体的には、炭酸水素ナトリウム含有量が1300〜1800ppmであれば、沈殿物は発生しない(実施例2)。さらに、コーヒーエキスの配合量が7.90〜8.60重量%の範囲内であれば沈殿物の発生は確認されなかったが、コーヒーエキスの配合量が8.90以上では沈殿物の発生が確認された(実施例3)。
Discussion:
From the results of Examples 1 to 3, the following points became clear. That is, both the coffee extract content and the sodium hydrogen carbonate content are involved in the generation of the precipitate of the coffee beverage (Example 1). Moreover, although a sodium hydrogen carbonate content in the coffee beverage is too large or small, a precipitate is generated, but if it is within a specific range, such a precipitate is not generated. Specifically, when the sodium hydrogen carbonate content is 1300 to 1800 ppm, no precipitate is generated (Example 2). Furthermore, if the blending amount of the coffee extract is within the range of 7.90 to 8.60% by weight, the generation of precipitates was not confirmed, but if the blending amount of the coffee extract was 8.90 or more, the generation of precipitates was not observed. It was confirmed (Example 3).

以上から、コーヒー飲料中のコーヒーエキス量を7.90〜8.60重量%に調節し、かつ炭酸水素ナトリウム量を1300〜1800ppmに調節すれば、該コーヒー飲料における沈殿物の発生を抑制できることが示された。   From the above, if the amount of the coffee extract in the coffee beverage is adjusted to 7.90 to 8.60% by weight and the amount of sodium bicarbonate is adjusted to 1300 to 1800 ppm, the occurrence of precipitates in the coffee beverage can be suppressed. Indicated.
