Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cheese package capable of aging a cheese in a container, and excellent in conservation.SOLUTION: A cheese package is obtained by aging a compression-formed cheese card obtained by a conventional method in the state of gas replacement package using an inert gas or of a final consumer packaging form in which a deoxidation agent 4 is sealed and packaged, in a container 2 having a gas barrier property, together with a desiccant 3 having an ability capable of absorbing moisture corresponding to 10-40% of an initial cheese weight of the compressed cheese card.

Description

本発明は、チーズを容器内で熟成させて楽しむことを目的とするチーズ包装体に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a cheese package for the purpose of aging and enjoying cheese in a container.

近年、ナチュラルチーズが普及するにつれて、多様な風味・食感のナチュラルチーズが市場に流通することが多くなってきている。ナチュラルチーズは、その製造工程により多種多様な風味、食感、組織を有しており、風味発現の要因としては、乳質、乳処理方法、乳酸菌、酵素、細菌、カビ、熟成条件等の作用が大きなものとして挙げられる。その中でも、とりわけゴーダチーズ、チェダーチーズ、グラナチーズ、パルメザンチーズ等、いわゆる硬質系ナチュラルチーズでは、熟成中の乳酸菌、酵素の作用によるタンパク質及び脂肪分解にともなって生じる呈味成分、芳香成分による特有の風味を有している。これらのナチュラルチーズは、乳に乳酸菌、凝乳酵素を添加し、凝固後、加熱撹拌し、ホエー排除により低水分化したカードを型詰めし、加塩工程を経て熟成する。ナチュラルチーズ特有の風味は熟成中に緩やかに形成され、長期間の熟成条件により風味・食感が大きく変化する。
硬質系ナチュラルチーズの熟成方法としては、ナチュラルチーズ表面にワックスや樹脂を塗布して表面をコーティングするリンデッド法と、ワックスや樹脂を用いず、ガス透過性および水蒸気透過性の低いプラスチック製フィルムで真空包装するリンドレス法が代表的な手法として知られている。
これら二つの製法を比較すると、リンデッド法はリンドレス法よりも乳酸菌や酵素が大きく作用し、よりチーズ風味が高まる方法として使用されているが、工程上、定期的にチーズを反転させる作業やチーズ表面を磨く作業が必要となり、製造には人手と経験を要するうえに、熟成には温度および湿度を制御した熟成庫が必要となる。また、喫食事には、チーズ表面を皮覆するコーティング層、いわゆるリンド部分を除いて食べる必要があるため損耗が生じる。一方でリンドレス法は、チーズの反転や表面を磨く作業は必要としないが、風味の面はリンデッドチーズより劣る。また、水蒸気透過性の低いプラスチック製フィルムに覆われているために、独特の蒸れ臭を生じる場合があった。
なお、いずれの場合においても、適当な熟成が完了するまでの期間はチーズ製造者側が管理し、消費者が自身の好みに合った熟成度合いのチーズを入手することは容易ではなかった。
In recent years, as natural cheese becomes widespread, natural cheeses with various flavors and textures are increasingly distributed in the market. Natural cheese has a wide variety of flavors, textures, and textures depending on the production process, and factors such as milk quality, milk processing methods, lactic acid bacteria, enzymes, bacteria, mold, and aging conditions are factors that contribute to flavor development. Listed as big. Among them, in particular, so-called hard natural cheeses such as gouda cheese, cheddar cheese, grana cheese, and parmesan cheese, lactic acid bacteria during ripening, proteins due to the action of enzymes, and flavoring components that are generated due to lipolysis, flavors unique to aromatic components have. These natural cheeses are prepared by adding lactic acid bacteria and milk coagulation enzyme to milk, coagulating, heating and stirring, filling a curd that has been reduced in water content by eliminating whey, and aging through a salting step. Natural cheese-specific flavor is slowly formed during ripening, and the flavor and texture change greatly depending on long-term aging conditions.
Hard natural cheese ripening methods include the Linded method in which wax or resin is applied to the surface of natural cheese to coat the surface, and a plastic film with low gas permeability and low water vapor permeability without using wax or resin. The Lindless method of packaging is known as a typical method.
Comparing these two production methods, the Linded method is used as a method in which lactic acid bacteria and enzymes act more greatly than the Lindless method, and the cheese flavor is enhanced. In addition to manpower and experience in manufacturing, aging requires an aging cabinet with controlled temperature and humidity. Moreover, since it is necessary to eat except for the coating layer which covers the cheese surface, what is called a lind part, at the time of eating, wear occurs. On the other hand, the Lindless method does not require the work of reversing the cheese or polishing the surface, but the flavor is inferior to the Linded cheese. In addition, since it is covered with a plastic film having low water vapor permeability, a peculiar stuffy odor may occur.
In any case, the period until the proper ripening is completed is managed by the cheese manufacturer, and it is not easy for consumers to obtain cheese of a ripening degree that suits their tastes.

一方、ナチュラルチーズを、最終消費包装形態、すなわち流通形態の容器内で熟成させる方法として、特許文献1が知られている。この特許文献1に記載のチーズ包装体は、常法によって得られたチーズカードを、通水性を有する最終包装形態の容器のポイントシールの上側に止まるように収納し、チーズカードから発生するホエーをポイントシールの下側の貯留空間に排出することで、チーズ包装体のまま熟成させるものである。しかし、特許文献1に記載のチーズ包装体では、熟成中にチーズから発生する水蒸気が包装体内から抜けないため、得られたチーズが蒸れ臭を含んでしまうという問題が生じる。   On the other hand, Patent Document 1 is known as a method for ripening natural cheese in a container in a final consumption packaging form, that is, a distribution form. The cheese package described in Patent Document 1 stores the cheese curd obtained by a conventional method so as to stop above the point seal of the container of the final packaging form having water permeability, and generates whey generated from the cheese curd. By discharging to the storage space below the point seal, the cheese package is aged. However, in the cheese package described in Patent Document 1, water vapor generated from the cheese during ripening does not escape from the package, resulting in a problem that the resulting cheese contains a steaming odor.

本発明の実施形態の一例を示す。An example of an embodiment of the present invention is shown. 本発明の実施形態の一例を示す。An example of an embodiment of the present invention is shown. 本発明の実施形態の一例を示す。An example of an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

本発明のチーズ包装体に用いるチーズとしては、いわゆるセミハード系チーズまたはハード系チーズであれば特に制限はないが、例えば、ゴーダチーズ、エダムチーズ、エメンタールチーズ、チェダーチーズ、グラナチーズ、パルメザンチーズが挙げられ、使用する乳酸菌スターターの種類や、水分値、塩濃度等の製造条件については、目的とするチーズに応じて適宜設定すればよい。また、形状についても特に制限はなく、ホール状でもブロック状でもよく、また、これらから適度な大きさに切り別けた板状のものであってもよい。   The cheese used in the cheese package of the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it is a so-called semi-hard cheese or hard cheese, for example, Gouda cheese, Edam cheese, Emmental cheese, Cheddar cheese, Grana cheese, Parmesan cheese, What is necessary is just to set suitably about manufacturing conditions, such as a kind of lactic acid bacteria starter to be used, a moisture value, and salt concentration, according to the target cheese. Also, the shape is not particularly limited, and may be a hole shape or a block shape, or may be a plate shape separated from these to an appropriate size.

本発明のチーズ包装体においては、包装体中に、圧縮成形したチーズカードの初期重量の10〜40%の水分を吸収できる乾燥剤を封入するか、あるいは、圧縮成形したチーズの初期重量の10〜40%の水分を吸収可能な吸湿性を有する包材でチーズを内包する。また、乾燥剤と吸湿性を有する包材を併用し、圧縮成形したチーズの初期重量の10〜40%の水分を吸収可能なチーズ包装体としてもよい。
乾燥剤、あるいは吸湿性を有する包材の水分吸収量が圧縮成形したチーズカードの初期重量の10%以下の場合、チーズ表面からの水分の抜けが不十分となりチーズの外観及び風味に影響を及ぼす。また、乾燥剤または食品用脱水シートの水分吸収量が圧縮成形したチーズカードの初期重量の40%以上の場合、チーズ表面が極度に乾燥し商品としての価値を失う。
本発明で使用できる乾燥剤としては、特に種類は特定されないが、例えばシリカゲル、塩化マグネシウム、塩化マグネシウムと酸化マグネシウムの混合物、塩化カルシウム及び生石灰などが挙げられる。また、本発明で使用できる吸湿性を有する包材としては、市販の食品用脱水シート等が挙げられ、具体的には2枚の多孔性を有するポリビニルアルコールフィルムの間に高濃度の食用糖類と増粘多糖類を挟んだシートなどが挙げられる。
In the cheese package of the present invention, a desiccant capable of absorbing 10 to 40% of the initial weight of the compression-molded cheese curd is enclosed in the package, or the initial weight of the compression-molded cheese is 10 Cheese is encapsulated with a hygroscopic packaging material capable of absorbing -40% moisture. Moreover, it is good also as a cheese package which can absorb the water | moisture content of 10-40% of the initial weight of the compression-molded cheese, using a desiccant and the packaging material which has a hygroscopic property together.
When the moisture absorption amount of the desiccant or the hygroscopic packaging material is 10% or less of the initial weight of the compression-molded cheese curd, moisture is insufficiently removed from the cheese surface, affecting the appearance and flavor of the cheese. . Moreover, when the moisture absorption amount of a desiccant or a food dehydration sheet is 40% or more of the initial weight of the cheese curd that has been compression-molded, the cheese surface is extremely dried and loses its value as a product.
The type of desiccant that can be used in the present invention is not particularly specified, and examples thereof include silica gel, magnesium chloride, a mixture of magnesium chloride and magnesium oxide, calcium chloride, and quicklime. In addition, examples of the hygroscopic packaging material that can be used in the present invention include commercially available dehydration sheets for foods, and specifically, a high concentration of edible saccharides between two porous polyvinyl alcohol films. Examples include a sheet sandwiched with thickening polysaccharides.

また、本発明のチーズ包装体では、チーズ包装体内の酸素濃度を3%以下になるように調製する。包装袋内の酸素濃度が3%より大きくなると、チーズ熟成と無関係な黴等が発生、生育し、衛生面で問題が生じる。包装体内の酸素濃度を3%以下にする手法としては、特に限定はしないが、例えば不活性ガスを用いたガス置換包装を行ってもよいし、脱酸素剤を使用してもよい。また、酸素吸収剤を練りこんだ樹脂を包装材料の一部に使用することも可能である。   In the cheese package of the present invention, the oxygen concentration in the cheese package is adjusted to 3% or less. If the oxygen concentration in the packaging bag is greater than 3%, wrinkles and the like unrelated to cheese ripening are generated and grow, causing problems in hygiene. A technique for reducing the oxygen concentration in the package to 3% or less is not particularly limited. For example, gas replacement packaging using an inert gas may be performed, or an oxygen scavenger may be used. It is also possible to use a resin kneaded with an oxygen absorbent as a part of the packaging material.

なお、本発明のチーズ包装体に用いる包装材料には酸素透過度400cc /m・day・atm・μm以下のガスバリア性を有する材質が含まれることが好ましく、例えば、エチレンビニルアルコール、アルミニウム、酢酸ビニル、ポリアミド、ポリエチレンテレフタレート、その他シリカ及びクレイ等の無機物を用いてバリア性を付与した材質が挙げられる。酸素透過度が400cc/m・day・atm・μmよりも大きくなると、脱酸素剤や不活性ガスを用いたガス置換包装を行ったとしても、チーズ包装体内の酸素濃度を3%以下に保つことが難しくなる。 The packaging material used for the cheese package of the present invention preferably includes a material having a gas barrier property with an oxygen permeability of 400 cc / m 2 · day · atm · μm or less, such as ethylene vinyl alcohol, aluminum, acetic acid. Examples thereof include vinyl, polyamide, polyethylene terephthalate, and other materials provided with a barrier property using inorganic materials such as silica and clay. When the oxygen permeability is higher than 400 cc / m 2 · day · atm · μm, the oxygen concentration in the cheese package is kept at 3% or less even when gas replacement packaging using an oxygen scavenger or inert gas is performed. It becomes difficult.

本発明のチーズ包装体は、一般的なチーズと同様に冷蔵条件での流通、保存が可能であり、例えば0℃〜10℃で流通、保存することが可能である。しかし、この温度範囲内であっても、温度が高くなるとチーズの熟成の進行が早くなり、また0℃に近づくにつれ熟成の進行が遅くなるため、消費者のニーズ等を踏まえ、適当な熟成状態で店頭に並ぶよう適宜設定することが必要である。   The cheese package of the present invention can be circulated and stored under refrigerated conditions in the same manner as general cheese, and can be circulated and stored at 0 ° C to 10 ° C, for example. However, even within this temperature range, cheese ripening progresses faster as the temperature rises, and ripening progresses slower as it approaches 0 ° C. Therefore, it is necessary to set it appropriately at the store.

以下、本発明について、実施例及び比較例を用いて説明する。   Hereinafter, the present invention will be described using examples and comparative examples.

代表的な硬質系ナチュラルチーズであるチェダーチーズのチーズカードを通常の製造方法により調製した。すなわち、脂肪分3.6重量%に調整した原料乳をプレート型殺菌機により75℃で15秒間殺菌した後、30℃まで冷却した。この原料乳100kgに対し乳酸菌スターター(中温菌スターター:CHR.HANSEN社製、Direct Vat Set)を15U(ユニット)添加し、ジャケット付のチーズバット内に静置した。1時間後に仔牛レンネット(HR:CHR.HANSEN社製)を3g添加し、さらに静置した。約30分経過した時点で乳の凝固が起こり、凝固開始から5分後にチーズナイフを使用して、チーズカードを10mmの立方体に切断した。切断後、緩やかに撹拌しながらチーズカード中からホエーを流出させた。ホエーの流出を促進するために、カードとホエー混合物を1℃/3分の加熱で38℃まで加温した。撹拌を開始してから2時間後に、カードとホエーを分離し、チーズカードをチーズバット中に堆積した。堆積したチーズカードを38℃に保温しながら30分毎に反転した。マッティングカードのpHが5.2に低下した時点で、チーズカードを30mmの立方体に細断し、食塩を200g添加しチーズカードと食塩を混合した。加塩した全チーズカードを10kg容量のチーズモールドに入れ、縦型プレス機にて700kgの荷重をかけて38時間プレスした。プレス後、布をかけ10℃熟成庫内で5日間チーズ表面を予備乾燥させた。予備乾燥させたチーズ(熟度指数値8重量%)を、外層側からポリプロピレン、エチレンビニルアルコール、ポリエチレンの順で積層されたシートから成形されたガスバリア性を有するカップ容器に封入した。カップ容器には、通気穴を有する中仕切りを設け、乾燥剤、脱酸素剤をチーズとともに封入したうえで、天面を外層からナイロンフィルム、片面をアルミ蒸着したポリエチレンテレフタレートフィルムおよび低密度ポリエチレンの順で積層されたフィルムからなるガスバリア性を有する蓋材でシールし、チーズ包装体を得た。得られたチーズ包装体は、適宜乾燥剤、吸湿剤の交換を実施しながら10℃で6ヶ月保存し、熟成を進めた。得られたチーズはリンデッド製法によって得られたチェダーチーズと何らそん色ない風味・食感を有していた。   A cheddar cheese cheese curd, which is a typical hard natural cheese, was prepared by an ordinary manufacturing method. That is, the raw material milk adjusted to 3.6% by weight of fat was sterilized at 75 ° C. for 15 seconds with a plate type sterilizer, and then cooled to 30 ° C. To 100 kg of this raw material milk, 15 U (unit) of lactic acid bacteria starter (medium-temperature bacteria starter: Direct Vat Set, manufactured by CHR.HANSEN) was added and allowed to stand in a jacketed cheese vat. One hour later, 3 g of calf rennet (HR: manufactured by CHR.HANSEN) was added and left still. When about 30 minutes passed, milk coagulation occurred, and after 5 minutes from the start of coagulation, the cheese curd was cut into 10 mm cubes using a cheese knife. After cutting, whey was allowed to flow out of the cheese curd while gently stirring. In order to promote whey spill, the curd and whey mixture was warmed to 38 ° C. with 1 ° C./3 minutes heating. Two hours after the start of stirring, the curd and whey were separated, and the cheese curd was deposited in the cheese vat. The deposited cheese curd was inverted every 30 minutes while being kept at 38 ° C. When the pH of the matting curd dropped to 5.2, the cheese curd was shredded into 30 mm cubes, 200 g of sodium chloride was added, and the cheese curd and sodium chloride were mixed. The salted whole cheese curd was put into a 10 kg capacity cheese mold and pressed for 38 hours with a vertical press machine under a load of 700 kg. After pressing, cloth was applied and the cheese surface was pre-dried for 5 days in a 10 ° C. aging cabinet. Pre-dried cheese (ripening index value 8% by weight) was sealed in a cup container having gas barrier properties formed from sheets laminated in order of polypropylene, ethylene vinyl alcohol and polyethylene from the outer layer side. The cup container is provided with a partition with vents, and a desiccant and oxygen scavenger are enclosed with cheese, the top surface is nylon film from the outer layer, one side is vapor-deposited polyethylene terephthalate film and low-density polyethylene. Sealed with a lid material having a gas barrier property made of a film laminated with a cheese packaging body was obtained. The obtained cheese package was stored for 6 months at 10 ° C. while appropriately changing the desiccant and the hygroscopic agent, and proceeded with aging. The obtained cheese had a flavor and texture that were not inferior to those of the cheddar cheese obtained by the Linded manufacturing method.

代表的な硬質系ナチュラルチーズであるグラナタイプのチーズを通常の製造方法により調製した。すなわち、脂肪分2.4重量%に調整した原料乳を、プレート型殺菌機により75℃で15秒間殺菌した後、30℃まで冷却した。この原料乳300kgに対し、乳酸菌スターター(高温菌スターター:CHR.HANSEN社製、Direct Vat Set)を30U(ユニット)添加し、ジャケット付のチーズバット内に静置させた。1時間後に仔牛レンネット(HR:CHR.HANSEN社製)を9g添加しさらに静置させた。約30分経過した時点で乳の凝固が起こり、凝固開始から5分後にチーズナイフを使用してチーズカードを5mmの立方体に切断した。切断後、緩やかに撹拌しながらチーズカード中からホエーを流出させた。ホエーの流出を促進させるためにカードとホエー混合物を1℃/2分の加熱で50℃まで加温した。撹拌を開始してから1.5時間後にチーズカードを布で掬い取り、布内で球状の一塊にまとめ、ホエー中で30分間懸垂浸漬させた。懸垂後、球状の全カードを30kg容量のチーズモールドに入れ、モールドの上に5kgの重石をのせて6時間プレスした。プレス後、20%食塩水中(10℃)で20日間加塩し、加塩後、布をかけ10℃熟成庫内で5日間チーズ表面を予備乾燥させた。予備乾燥させたチーズ(熟度指数値8重量%)を、外層側からポリプロピレン、エチレンビニルアルコール、ポリエチレンの順で積層されたシートから成形されたガスバリア性を有するカップ容器に封入した。カップ容器には、通気穴を有する中仕切りを設け、乾燥剤、脱酸素剤をチーズとともに封入したうえで、天面を外層からナイロンフィルム、片面をアルミ蒸着したポリエチレンテレフタレートフィルムおよび低密度ポリエチレンの順で積層されたフィルムからなるガスバリア性を有する蓋材でシールし、チーズ包装体を得た。得られたチーズ包装体は、適宜乾燥剤、吸湿剤の交換を実施しながら10℃で18ヶ月保存し、熟成を進めた。得られたチーズはリンデッド製法によって得られたグラナチーズと何らそん色ない風味・食感を有していた。   Grana type cheese, which is a typical hard natural cheese, was prepared by an ordinary manufacturing method. That is, raw milk adjusted to a fat content of 2.4% by weight was sterilized at 75 ° C. for 15 seconds with a plate-type sterilizer, and then cooled to 30 ° C. To 300 kg of the raw milk, 30 U (unit) of lactic acid bacteria starter (thermophilic bacteria starter: Direct Vat Set, manufactured by CHR.HANSEN) was added and allowed to stand in a jacketed cheese vat. One hour later, 9 g of calf rennet (HR: manufactured by CHR.HANSEN) was added and allowed to stand still. When about 30 minutes passed, milk coagulation occurred, and after 5 minutes from the start of coagulation, the cheese curd was cut into 5 mm cubes using a cheese knife. After cutting, whey was allowed to flow out of the cheese curd while gently stirring. The curd and whey mixture was heated to 50 ° C. by heating at 1 ° C./2 minutes in order to promote whey outflow. After 1.5 hours from the start of stirring, the cheese curd was scooped with a cloth, gathered into a spherical lump in the cloth, and suspended in whey for 30 minutes. After hanging, all spherical cards were placed in a 30 kg cheese mold, 5 kg of weight was placed on the mold and pressed for 6 hours. After pressing, salting was carried out in 20% saline (10 ° C.) for 20 days, and after salting, the cloth was applied and the cheese surface was pre-dried in a 10 ° C. aging cabinet for 5 days. Pre-dried cheese (ripening index value 8% by weight) was sealed in a cup container having gas barrier properties formed from sheets laminated in order of polypropylene, ethylene vinyl alcohol and polyethylene from the outer layer side. The cup container is provided with a partition with vents, and a desiccant and oxygen scavenger are enclosed with cheese, the top surface is nylon film from the outer layer, one side is vapor-deposited polyethylene terephthalate film and low-density polyethylene. Sealed with a lid material having a gas barrier property made of a film laminated with a cheese packaging body was obtained. The obtained cheese package was stored at 10 ° C. for 18 months while appropriately changing the desiccant and the hygroscopic agent, and proceeded with aging. The obtained cheese had the same flavor and texture as the grana cheese obtained by the Linded manufacturing method.
