Description

本発明は、卵麹の製造方法及び卵麹に関する。 The present invention relates to a method for producing egg jiuqu and egg jiuqu.

近年、微生物を利用して製造された発酵食品が注目されている。発酵食品では、微生物の作用により旨味や風味が増すとともに、栄養価が高まる。このため、発酵食品は深い味わいを有するのみならず、美容や健康にもよいとされる。 In recent years, fermented foods manufactured using microorganisms have been attracting attention. In fermented foods, the action of microorganisms increases the taste and flavor as well as the nutritional value. Therefore, fermented foods not only have a deep taste, but are also good for beauty and health.

味噌、醤油、日本酒、焼酎等の日本の伝統的な発酵食品には、麹が用いられている。
麹は、種麹と呼ばれる麹菌の分生子を、水分を加えて蒸した大豆、麦、米などの穀物(基質)に接種して培養したものである。麹は、菌が穀物上で増殖する時に基質や培養環境に応じた種々の酵素活性を示す(非特許文献1参照)。この麹を米や大豆等の原料と混合することで、麹中に産生されたプロテアーゼやアミラーゼ等の酵素が原料に作用し、味噌、醤油、日本酒、焼酎等の発酵食品が製造される。例えば、特許文献1には、ビタミンB2類の生産性及び中性プロテアーゼ活性が高い麹菌を種麹として用いた麹、及びそれを用いて製造した味噌が記載されており、麹菌の多様性がうかがえる。
Jiuqu is used in traditional Japanese fermented foods such as miso, soy sauce, sake, and shochu.
Jiuqu is cultivated by inoculating conidia of Jiuqu, called seed koji, into grains (substrates) such as soybeans, wheat, and rice that have been steamed with water. Jiuqu exhibits various enzymatic activities depending on the substrate and culture environment when the fungus grows on grains (see Non-Patent Document 1). By mixing this jiuqu with raw materials such as rice and soybeans, enzymes such as proteases and amylases produced in the jiuqu act on the raw materials to produce fermented foods such as miso, soy sauce, sake, and shochu. For example, Patent Document 1 describes Jiuqu using Jiuqu as a seed koji, which has high productivity and neutral protease activity of vitamin B2, and Miso produced using it, which shows the diversity of Jiuqu. ..

「種麹・麹とは」、[online]、株式会社 樋口松之助商店、[平成29年10月1日検索]、インターネット〈URL:http://www.higuchi-m.co.jp/koji/index.html〉"What is Jiuqu / Jiuqu", [online], Higuchi Matsunosuke Shoten Co., Ltd., [Search on October 1, 2017], Internet <URL: http://www.higuchi-m.co.jp/koji/ index.html>

ところで、卵は、その優れた栄養価に加え、特有のまろやかな風味や旨味を有しているため、多様な料理や加工食品に利用されている。このように、卵はタンパク質や脂質をはじめとする優れた成分を有しているが、そのまま摂取されることが多いため、酵素分解による呈味の増強などが期待される。しかしながら、麹菌を用いて卵を原料とした加工食品を製造しようとした場合、既存の麹は穀物を基質として製麹されることが多いため、卵を原料とした加工食品の製造に適しているとは言えなかった。 By the way, eggs are used in various dishes and processed foods because they have a peculiar mellow flavor and umami in addition to their excellent nutritional value. As described above, eggs have excellent components such as proteins and lipids, but since they are often ingested as they are, it is expected that the taste will be enhanced by enzymatic decomposition. However, when trying to produce processed foods made from eggs using Jiuqu, the existing Jiuqu is often made from grains as a substrate, so it is suitable for producing processed foods made from eggs. I couldn't say that.

以上のような事情に鑑み、本発明の目的は、卵を原料とした加工食品の製造に適した卵麹の製造方法及び卵麹を提供することにある。 In view of the above circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing egg jiuqu and an egg jiuqu suitable for producing processed foods using eggs as raw materials.

本発明者等は、上記目的を達成すべく、基質の物性や製麹条件を詳細に検討して製麹方法について鋭意研究を重ねた結果、粉末卵に所定量の水を混合した基質を用いて麹菌を培養することで、卵を原料とした加工食品の製造に適した卵麹を製造できることを見出し、本発明を完成するに至った。 In order to achieve the above object, the present inventors have studied in detail the physical properties of the substrate and the conditions for making the jiuqu, and as a result of intensive research on the method of making the jiuqu, the present inventors have used a substrate in which a predetermined amount of water is mixed with powdered eggs. We have found that by culturing Jiuqu, it is possible to produce Jiuqu, which is suitable for producing processed foods made from eggs, and have completed the present invention.

本発明により、卵を原料とした加工食品の製造に適した卵麹の製造方法及び卵麹を提供することが可能となる。 INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a method for producing egg jiuqu and egg jiuqu suitable for producing processed foods made from eggs.

以下、本発明を詳細に説明する。なお、本発明において、「%」は「質量%」を意味し、「部」は「質量部」を意味する。 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail. In the present invention, "%" means "% by mass" and "parts" means "parts by mass".

<卵麹>
本発明の卵麹とは、粉末卵が水を含んだ状態の基質に麹菌を接種、培養したものをいう。本発明の卵麹は、後述するように、卵タンパク質の分解に適した酵素活性パターンを有し、例えばpH6におけるプロテアーゼ活性が500U/g以上であり、α-アミラーゼ活性が1000U/g以下である。このため、当該卵麹は卵タンパク質を効率よく分解でき、卵を原料とする加工食品の製造に適している。
<Egg Jiuqu>
The egg jiuqu of the present invention refers to a substrate in which powdered eggs contain water and inoculated with aspergillus and cultured. As will be described later, the egg jiuqu of the present invention has an enzyme activity pattern suitable for degrading egg proteins, for example, a protease activity of 500 U / g or more at pH 6 and an α-amylase activity of 1000 U / g or less. .. Therefore, the egg jiuqu can efficiently decompose egg protein and is suitable for producing processed foods made from eggs.

<卵麹の製造方法>
本発明の卵麹の製造方法は、基質に麹菌を接種する工程と、基質で麹菌を培養する工程と、を含む。また、麹菌接種工程の前に、基質を調製する工程と、基質を蒸煮殺菌する工程と、を含んでいてもよい。
<Manufacturing method of egg jiuqu>
The method for producing egg jiuqu of the present invention includes a step of inoculating the substrate with the aspergillus and a step of culturing the aspergillus on the substrate. Further, a step of preparing a substrate and a step of steaming and sterilizing the substrate may be included before the step of inoculating the aspergillus.

<基質調製工程/基質>
まず、粉末卵に散水して吸水させることで、基質を調製する。
本発明の基質とは、麹菌を接種して増殖させるための培地をいい、粉末卵と、所定量の水分を含む。
本発明の吸水とは、粉末卵に所定量の水を散水し混合することで、基質を湿った粉末状にすることをいう。湿った粉末状とは、好ましくは粉末卵と水分とが均一に混合されている状態であるが、麹菌が培養できる程度に不均一でもよく、例えば一部に粉末卵が凝集した小さな塊を含んでいてもよい。
なお、粉末卵自体が所定量の水を保持している場合は、当該水の量に応じて、散水して吸水させてもよいし、しなくてもよい。
本発明の基質は、粉末卵が麹菌の主な栄養源となればよく、粉末卵の含有量を超えない範囲で炭水化物源及びタンパク質源を含んでいてもよい。具体的には基質中の粉末卵のタンパク質源100部に対し、粉末卵以外の基質中の炭水化物源及びタンパク質源の合計が100部以下であるとよく、さらに50部以下であるとよく、さらに10部以下であるとよく、さらに1部以下であるとよい。特に、本発明の基質は、実質的に粉末卵と水のみからなるものであるとよりよい。これにより、卵タンパク質の分解に特化した卵麹を製造することができる。なお、「実質的に粉末卵と水のみを含む」とは、粉末卵と水のみを含むこと、あるいは粉末卵と水に加えて、炭水化物源やタンパク質源とならない下記の添加剤等を含むことをいう。
一般に、炭水化物源及びタンパク質源として卵のみを用いて麹の培養に適した基質を調製することは、基質の物性や雑菌の増殖しやすさの観点から難しい。本発明では、粉末卵を用いることで、麹の培養に適した基質を容易に調製することができる。
なお、本発明の効果を失わない範囲で、基質にpH調整剤、安定化剤等の添加剤が含まれていてもよい。例えば、pH調整剤を用いることにより、基質を弱酸性や弱塩基性に調整して静菌効果を高めることができる。
<Substrate preparation process / substrate>
First, a substrate is prepared by sprinkling water on powdered eggs and allowing them to absorb water.
The substrate of the present invention refers to a medium for inoculating and growing aspergillus, and contains powdered eggs and a predetermined amount of water.
The water absorption of the present invention means to make a substrate into a moist powder by sprinkling a predetermined amount of water on powdered eggs and mixing them. The moist powdered state is preferably a state in which powdered eggs and water are uniformly mixed, but may be non-uniform to the extent that aspergillus can be cultivated, and includes, for example, a small mass in which powdered eggs are aggregated. You may go out.
When the powdered eggs themselves hold a predetermined amount of water, water may or may not be sprinkled according to the amount of the water.
The substrate of the present invention may contain powdered eggs as the main nutrient source for Jiuqu, and may contain carbohydrate sources and protein sources as long as the content of the powdered eggs is not exceeded. Specifically, for 100 parts of the protein source of powdered eggs in the substrate, the total of carbohydrate sources and protein sources in the substrate other than powdered eggs is preferably 100 parts or less, more preferably 50 parts or less, and further. It is preferable that the number of copies is 10 or less, and further, it is preferable that the number of copies is 1 or less. In particular, it is better that the substrate of the present invention consists substantially only of powdered eggs and water. This makes it possible to produce egg jiuqu specialized in the decomposition of egg protein. In addition, "substantially containing only powdered eggs and water" means that it contains only powdered eggs and water, or that it contains the following additives that are not carbohydrate sources or protein sources in addition to powdered eggs and water. To say.
In general, it is difficult to prepare a substrate suitable for culturing Jiuqu using only eggs as a carbohydrate source and a protein source from the viewpoint of the physical characteristics of the substrate and the ease of growth of various germs. In the present invention, by using powdered eggs, a substrate suitable for culturing Jiuqu can be easily prepared.
The substrate may contain additives such as a pH adjuster and a stabilizer as long as the effects of the present invention are not lost. For example, by using a pH adjuster, the substrate can be adjusted to be weakly acidic or weakly basic to enhance the bacteriostatic effect.

<粉末卵>
本発明の粉末卵とは、卵を原料とする粉状物をいう。粉末卵の平均粒子径は特に限定されないが、例えば1~1000μm程度であればよい。
粉末卵は、液卵に比べ、水分含量が非常に低いため、散水したときに水分を吸収し保持することができる。さらに、粉末卵は液卵に比べ、比表面積が大きく、散水したときの吸水性をより高めることができる。このため、水分含量を調整しやすくなり、麹菌の培養に適した環境が得られやすくなる。
<Powdered eggs>
The powdered egg of the present invention refers to a powdered egg made from an egg. The average particle size of the powdered eggs is not particularly limited, but may be, for example, about 1 to 1000 μm.
Since powdered eggs have a much lower water content than liquid eggs, they can absorb and retain water when sprinkled. Furthermore, powdered eggs have a larger specific surface area than liquid eggs, and can further enhance water absorption when sprinkled. Therefore, it becomes easy to adjust the water content, and it becomes easy to obtain an environment suitable for culturing Jiuqu.

<粉末卵に用いられる卵>
本発明の粉末卵に用いられる卵としては、典型的には鶏卵を用いることができ、例えば、殻付卵を割卵し卵殻を取り除いて得られた液全卵、液卵黄及び液卵白、並びに後述する加熱変性した卵を用いることができる。また、本発明の卵として、上記卵に対して攪拌処理、ストレーナー等によるろ過処理、湯浴や蒸気等による加熱殺菌処理、冷凍処理、超臨界二酸化炭素処理等の脱コレステロール処理、脱糖処理、加塩処理等を施したものを用いてもよい。さらに、上記の卵を2種以上組み合せて用いてもよい。
卵は、タンパク質を多く含む一方で、炭水化物はごくわずかしか含まれない。したがって、本発明の基質は、炭水加物源をほぼ含まず、タンパク質源として卵に含まれるタンパク質を豊富に含むものとなる。
なお、以下の説明において、卵に含まれるタンパク質を「卵タンパク質」と称する。
<Eggs used for powdered eggs>
As the egg used for the powdered egg of the present invention, a chicken egg can be typically used, for example, liquid whole egg, liquid egg yolk and liquid egg white obtained by breaking an egg with a shell and removing the eggshell, and Eggs that have been heat-modified, which will be described later, can be used. Further, as the egg of the present invention, the above-mentioned egg is subjected to stirring treatment, filtration treatment with a strainer or the like, heat sterilization treatment with a hot water bath or steam, freezing treatment, decholesterol treatment such as supercritical carbon dioxide treatment, sugar removal treatment, etc. Those that have been subjected to salting treatment or the like may be used. Further, two or more kinds of the above eggs may be used in combination.
Eggs are high in protein, but very low in carbohydrates. Therefore, the substrate of the present invention contains almost no carbon dioxide additive source and is rich in protein contained in eggs as a protein source.
In the following description, the protein contained in the egg is referred to as "egg protein".

<粉末卵における粉末化処理>
本発明における粉末化処理とは、上記卵を乾燥処理して粉状物を製する処理をいう。
乾燥処理としては、例えば、噴霧乾燥、マイクロ波乾燥、凍結乾燥、熱風乾燥、パンドライ等が挙げられる。
また、乾燥処理の前後に、凍結粉砕装置、スコロイダー、シャーポンプ、コミットロール等の粉砕処理装置を用いて卵を粉砕処理してもよい。さらに、より小さい粒径の粉末卵を得る点から、粉砕処理物に加水し、水に分散させた状態で噴霧乾燥してもよい。
得られた粉末卵は、常温、冷蔵又は冷凍で保管された後、基質として用いられてもよい。
<Powdered eggs powder>
The powdering treatment in the present invention refers to a treatment in which the above-mentioned egg is dried to produce a powder.
Examples of the drying treatment include spray drying, microwave drying, freeze drying, hot air drying, pan drying and the like.
Further, before and after the drying treatment, the eggs may be crushed using a crushing treatment device such as a freeze crushing device, a scoroider, a shear pump, or a commit roll. Further, from the viewpoint of obtaining powdered eggs having a smaller particle size, the crushed product may be watered and spray-dried in a state of being dispersed in water.
The obtained powdered eggs may be used as a substrate after being stored at room temperature, refrigerated or frozen.

<卵黄を含む粉末卵>
本発明において粉末卵は、卵黄を含むことが好ましい。卵黄を含む粉末卵とは、例えば、液全卵を粉末化処理したもの、鶏卵を割卵して分離した液卵黄と液卵白とを液全卵と同程度の割合で混合し、粉末化処理したもの、液卵白と分離して得られた液卵黄を粉末化処理したもの、並びに加熱凝固させた液全卵又は卵黄を粉末化処理したものが挙げられる。卵黄を含む粉末卵を用いることで、粉末卵の吸水性が高まり、麹菌の培養に適した環境がより得られやすくなる。
また、液卵黄と液卵白とを液全卵と同程度の割合で混合し粉末化処理する場合は、例えば、生換算で液卵黄1部に対し液卵白が1~3部程度の質量比率となるように混合するとよい。特に、上記質量比率は、生換算で液卵黄1部に対し液卵白1部以上2部未満であるとよく、さらに1部程度であるとよい。これにより、粉末卵の吸水性が高まり、麹菌の培養に適した環境がより得られやすくなる。
<Powdered eggs containing egg yolk>
In the present invention, the powdered eggs preferably contain egg yolk. The powdered egg containing egg yolk is, for example, a powdered whole egg, a liquid egg yolk separated by splitting a chicken egg and a liquid egg white are mixed at the same ratio as the whole liquid egg, and the powdered egg is processed. Examples thereof include those obtained by pulverizing the liquid egg yolk obtained separately from the liquid egg yolk, and those obtained by pulverizing the heat-coagulated liquid whole egg or egg yolk. By using powdered eggs containing egg yolk, the water absorption of the powdered eggs is enhanced, and it becomes easier to obtain an environment suitable for culturing aspergillus.
When the liquid egg yolk and the liquid egg white are mixed at the same ratio as the whole liquid egg and powdered, for example, the mass ratio of the liquid egg white is about 1 to 3 parts to 1 part of the liquid egg yolk in raw conversion. It is good to mix so that it becomes. In particular, the mass ratio is preferably 1 part or more and less than 2 parts of liquid egg white with respect to 1 part of liquid egg yolk, and further preferably about 1 part. As a result, the water absorption of the powdered eggs is increased, and it becomes easier to obtain an environment suitable for culturing the aspergillus.

<卵タンパク質が加熱変性した粉末卵>
本発明の粉末卵は、卵タンパク質が加熱変性したものでもよい。このような粉末卵として、具体的には、加熱凝固卵を粉末化処理したもの、液卵を粉末化処理した粉状物をさらに加熱処理したもの等が挙げられ、一般的な噴霧乾燥等で粉末化処理した粉末卵とは異なる。
加熱凝固卵とは、液全卵、液卵黄又は液卵白を加熱処理することにより卵タンパク質を凝固させたものをいう。当該加熱凝固卵は、例えば、割卵して得られた液全卵あるいは、液卵黄及び液卵白を別々に耐熱性パウチ等に詰めて、80~100℃で20~60分間加熱処理することで得られる。あるいは、殻付卵を85℃~100℃で5~20分間加熱し、凝固させてもよい。加熱処理方法としては、ボイル加熱やマイクロ波加熱、蒸気加熱等を適宜用いることができる。当該加熱凝固卵に対して粉末化処理を行うことで、本発明の粉末卵を得ることができる。
また、液卵を粉末化処理した粉状物とは、液全卵、液卵黄又は液卵白を粉末化処理したものをいう。このような液卵の粉状物に対して、蒸気、オーブン、マイクロ波等により、80~120℃で2秒~5分間さらに加熱処理することで、卵タンパク質を加熱変性させることができる。
<Powdered eggs with heat-denatured egg protein>
The powdered egg of the present invention may be a heat-denatured egg protein. Specific examples of such powdered eggs include those obtained by powdering heat-coagulated eggs and those obtained by further heat-treating powdered eggs obtained by powdering liquid eggs. It is different from powdered eggs that have been powdered.
A heat-coagulated egg is an egg protein coagulated by heat-treating a whole liquid egg, a liquid egg yolk, or a liquid egg white. The heat-coagulated egg is, for example, a liquid whole egg obtained by breaking an egg, or a liquid egg yolk and a liquid egg white, which are separately packed in a heat-resistant pouch or the like and heat-treated at 80 to 100 ° C. for 20 to 60 minutes. can get. Alternatively, the shelled eggs may be heated at 85 ° C. to 100 ° C. for 5 to 20 minutes to coagulate. As the heat treatment method, boil heating, microwave heating, steam heating and the like can be appropriately used. The powdered eggs of the present invention can be obtained by subjecting the heat-coagulated eggs to a powdering treatment.
The powdery product obtained by pulverizing a liquid egg means a powdered product of whole liquid egg, liquid egg yolk or liquid egg white. Egg protein can be heat-denatured by further heat-treating such liquid egg powder at 80 to 120 ° C. for 2 seconds to 5 minutes using steam, an oven, microwaves, or the like.

<基質の水分含量>
本発明の基質の水分含量は、20%以上40%以下であり、さらに25%以上35%以下であるとよい。
水分含量が20%以上であることで、水分を十分に含み麹菌の培養に適した環境が得られるとともに、粉末卵を基質全体に分散させることができる。水分含量が40%以内であることで、粉末卵から水分が過剰に分離するのを防ぐことができ、雑菌の増殖を抑えることができる。
<Water content of substrate>
The water content of the substrate of the present invention is preferably 20% or more and 40% or less, and further preferably 25% or more and 35% or less.
When the water content is 20% or more, an environment suitable for culturing aspergillus can be obtained with sufficient water content, and powdered eggs can be dispersed throughout the substrate. When the water content is 40% or less, it is possible to prevent excessive separation of water from the powdered eggs and suppress the growth of various germs.

<蒸煮殺菌工程>
上記基質は、麹菌を接種する前に、蒸煮殺菌されてもよい。本発明の蒸煮殺菌工程とは、雑菌の増殖を抑えるために、基質を蒸気で加熱する工程をいう。蒸煮殺菌工程により基質に水分が保持され、上記範囲の水分が基質内部まで均一に移行しやすく、麹菌を培養しやすい環境が得られやすい。また、製麹中の細菌汚染の原因となる初発細菌数を大幅に低減することができ、培養後の麹中の細菌数も抑制することができる。
本工程では、常圧条件下で基質を蒸煮処理することができる。ここでいう「常圧」とは、約1気圧をいう。これにより、卵麹を用いて製造された加工食品の旨味をより高めることができる。あるいはこれに限定されず、基質を高圧条件下でオートクレーブ加熱等して殺菌してもよい。
本工程の蒸煮殺菌は、例えば70℃以上100℃未満の蒸気で、数十分間行うことができる。なお、蒸煮殺菌中は、基質の均一性を高めるために、基質を攪拌するとよい。
蒸煮殺菌工程が行われた場合は、麹菌を接種する前に、麹菌の生育が妨げられない程度まで基質を十分冷却する。
<Steaming sterilization process>
The substrate may be steamed and sterilized prior to inoculation with Jiuqu. The steaming sterilization step of the present invention refers to a step of heating a substrate with steam in order to suppress the growth of various germs. Moisture is retained in the substrate by the steaming sterilization step, and the moisture in the above range is easily transferred uniformly to the inside of the substrate, and it is easy to obtain an environment in which aspergillus can be easily cultivated. In addition, the number of initial bacteria that cause bacterial contamination during koji production can be significantly reduced, and the number of bacteria in the koji after culturing can also be suppressed.
In this step, the substrate can be steamed under normal pressure conditions. The "normal pressure" here means about 1 atm. This makes it possible to further enhance the taste of processed foods produced using egg jiuqu. Alternatively, the substrate is not limited to this, and the substrate may be sterilized by heating in an autoclave under high pressure conditions.
The steam sterilization in this step can be performed for several tens of minutes with steam of, for example, 70 ° C. or higher and lower than 100 ° C. During steaming sterilization, it is advisable to stir the substrate in order to improve the uniformity of the substrate.
When the steaming sterilization step is performed, the substrate is sufficiently cooled to the extent that the growth of the aspergillus is not hindered before inoculating the aspergillus.

<麹菌接種工程>
上記基質には、麹菌が接種される。麹菌の接種方法は限定されず、常法により基質全体に万遍なく接種される。
種麹の接種量は、基質1gあたり0.1~5×10CFUであるとよく、特に、基質1gあたり1~5×10CFUであるとよい。
一般に、湿った粉末の基質を用いる場合には、穀物粒と比較して表面積が大きいことから、雑菌汚染を受け易い。また、卵を基質とする場合、特に栄養源が豊富であるため、製麹中は急激な雑菌汚染が進む。このため、種麹の接種量を、基質1gあたり0.1~5×10CFU、さらに米麹や麦麹の場合より約3~10倍多い、基質1gあたり1~5×10CFUとすることにより、初期の細菌汚染を抑制することが可能であると同時に、麹菌の増殖も旺盛となり、麹の品質も安定する。
<Jiuqu inoculation process>
The substrate is inoculated with Jiuqu. The method of inoculating Jiuqu is not limited, and the entire substrate is inoculated evenly by a conventional method.
The inoculation amount of the seed koji is preferably 0.1 to 5 × 10 6 CFU per 1 g of the substrate, and particularly preferably 1 to 5 × 10 6 CFU per 1 g of the substrate.
Generally, when a wet powder substrate is used, the surface area is larger than that of grain grains, so that the substrate is susceptible to contamination by various germs. In addition, when eggs are used as a substrate, since the nutrient sources are particularly abundant, rapid contamination with various germs progresses during koji making. Therefore, the inoculation amount of seed jiuqu is 0.1 to 5 × 10 6 CFU per 1 g of substrate, and 1 to 5 × 10 6 CFU per 1 g of substrate, which is about 3 to 10 times higher than that of rice and barley jiuqu. By doing so, it is possible to suppress the initial bacterial contamination, and at the same time, the growth of Jiuqu is vigorous and the quality of Jiuqu is stable.

<麹菌>
本発明の麹菌とは、卵麹を製造するための接種菌をいい、典型的にはアスペルギルス属に分類される菌をいう。具体的には、本発明の麹菌として、例えば、アスペルギルス・オリーゼ(Aspergillus oryzae)やアスペルギルス・ソーヤ(Aspergillus sojae)等に代表される黄麹菌、アスペルギルス・リューチュウエンシス(Aspergillus luchuensis)等に代表される黒麹菌及びその変異種などが挙げられる。このうち、アスペルギルス・オリーゼは、例えば味噌の製造に用いられ、アスペルギルス・リューチュウエンシスは、例えば焼酎の製造に用いられる。
<Jiuqu>
The aspergillus of the present invention refers to an inoculum for producing egg aspergillus, and typically refers to a bacterium classified into the genus Aspergillus. Specifically, the aspergillus of the present invention is represented by, for example, Aspergillus oryzae , Aspergillus sojae , and Aspergillus luchuensis . Examples include Aspergillus oryzae and its variants. Of these, Aspergillus oryzae is used, for example, in the production of miso, and Aspergillus luchuensis is used, for example, in the production of shochu.

<麹菌培養工程>
上記基質で上記麹菌を培養することで、卵麹が得られる。
本発明の麹菌を培養する条件は、特に制限されず、常法に従うことができる。
培養温度は、麹菌が培養しやすいことから、15℃以上45℃以下であるとよく、さらに22℃以上38℃以下であるとよい。
培養期間は、効率的に培養しやすいことから、20~72時間であるとよく、さらに30~50時間であるとよい。上記範囲の培養時間により、麹菌は卵タンパク質の分解に適した酵素活性を有する酵素を十分に産生できる。培養方法としては、例えば、静置培養、撹拌培養、通気培養が挙げられる。
<Jiuqu culturing process>
By culturing the above-mentioned aspergillus on the above-mentioned substrate, egg-jiuqu can be obtained.
The conditions for culturing the aspergillus of the present invention are not particularly limited, and a conventional method can be followed.
The culture temperature is preferably 15 ° C. or higher and 45 ° C. or lower, and further 22 ° C. or higher and 38 ° C. or lower, because aspergillus can easily be cultivated.
The culturing period is preferably 20 to 72 hours, and more preferably 30 to 50 hours, because it is easy to cultivate efficiently. With the culture time in the above range, Jiuqu can sufficiently produce an enzyme having an enzymatic activity suitable for the decomposition of egg protein. Examples of the culture method include static culture, stirring culture, and aeration culture.

<卵麹の酵素活性>
本発明の方法により製造される卵麹では、卵を原料とした加工食品の製造に適した卵麹が得られやすいことから、pH6におけるプロテアーゼ活性が500U/g以上、α-アミラーゼ活性が1000U/g以下であるとよい。さらに、卵のタンパク質を効率よく分解し呈味性の高い卵加工品が得られやすいことから、pH6におけるプロテアーゼ活性は1,000U/g以上であるとよく、3,000U/g以上であるとよい。また、本発明の卵麹のα-アミラーゼ活性は、通常の米麹(1,000U/g~2,000U/g程度)よりも低い値であるとよい。
つまり、本発明の方法により製造される卵麹では、卵タンパク質を分解するプロテアーゼの活性が高く、デンプンなどの炭水化物源を分解するα-アミラーゼの活性が低い。このため、タンパク質を豊富に含み炭水化物をほとんど含まない卵を原料とする加工食品の製造に適したものとなる。また、当該加工食品の製造に際しα-アミラーゼの影響を低減させることができ、炭水化物の分解を抑制したい場合にも、α―アミラーゼを除去したり不活化したりする工程を省くことができる。
ここで、卵のpHがおおよそ7.8であり、特に卵黄のpHがおおよそ6.2~6.6である。本発明の卵麹は、卵のpHに近いpH6において、高いプロテアーゼ活性を示すため、卵タンパク質をより効率よく分解することができる。
<Enzyme activity of egg jiuqu>
In the egg jiuqu produced by the method of the present invention, since it is easy to obtain egg jiuqu suitable for producing processed foods made from eggs, the protease activity at pH 6 is 500 U / g or more, and the α-amylase activity is 1000 U / g. It is preferable that it is g or less. Further, since it is easy to efficiently decompose egg protein and obtain a processed egg product having high taste, the protease activity at pH 6 is preferably 1,000 U / g or more, and 3,000 U / g or more. good. Further, the α-amylase activity of the egg jiuqu of the present invention is preferably lower than that of normal rice jiuqu (about 1,000 U / g to 2,000 U / g).
That is, in the egg jiuqu produced by the method of the present invention, the activity of the protease that decomposes egg protein is high, and the activity of α-amylase that decomposes carbohydrate sources such as starch is low. Therefore, it is suitable for producing processed foods made from eggs, which are rich in protein and contain almost no carbohydrates. Further, the influence of α-amylase can be reduced in the production of the processed food, and even when it is desired to suppress the decomposition of carbohydrates, the step of removing or inactivating α-amylase can be omitted.
Here, the pH of the egg is approximately 7.8, and in particular the pH of the yolk is approximately 6.2 to 6.6. Since the egg jiuqu of the present invention exhibits high protease activity at pH 6, which is close to the pH of eggs, egg proteins can be decomposed more efficiently.

<卵麹のpH>
本発明の卵麹のpHは、5.0以上9.0以下であるとよく、5.0以上7.0以下であるとよい。pHが5.0以上9.0以下であることにより、麹菌により産生された酵素の至適pHに近いため、加工食品の製造においてもpHの調整が不要となり、pH調整用の添加物を不要とすることができる。
本発明の卵麹のpHの測定方法は、卵麹10gにイオン交換水90mLを加えて、溶液が均一になるよう攪拌した後に、卵麹のpHを測定する。
<pH of egg jiuqu>
The pH of the egg jiuqu of the present invention is preferably 5.0 or more and 9.0 or less, and preferably 5.0 or more and 7.0 or less. When the pH is 5.0 or more and 9.0 or less, it is close to the optimum pH of the enzyme produced by the aspergillus, so it is not necessary to adjust the pH even in the production of processed foods, and no additive for pH adjustment is required. Can be.
In the method for measuring the pH of egg jiuqu of the present invention, 90 mL of ion-exchanged water is added to 10 g of egg jiuqu, and the solution is stirred so that the solution becomes uniform, and then the pH of the egg jiuqu is measured.

<本発明の作用効果>
以上のように、本発明の卵麹の製造方法では、粉末卵を含む基質に麹菌を接種する。粉末卵は、液卵に比べ、乾燥しており水分含量が少ないとともに、比表面積が大きい。このため、粉末卵では吸水性及び保水性が良好となり、水分含量を20質量%以上40質量%以下に調整することができる。これにより、以下のような利点が挙げられる。
まず、粉末卵を基質全体に分散させ、基質を湿った粉末状に調製することができる。すなわち、粉末卵が水分を保持して適度に分散し、麹菌を基質全体に万遍なく接種することができる。
また、適切な水分含量に調整することで雑菌が繁殖するのを抑えることができる。具体的には、製造後の卵麹の一般生菌数を1×10CFU/g以下とすることができ、一般的な米麹と同等とすることが可能である。この程度まで雑菌の増殖が抑制されることで、本発明の卵麹を加工食品の製造に用いた際に、食品への汚染リスクが低減される。
なお、一般生菌数とは、食品衛生検査指針(2007年)に基づき、卵麹から採取した試料液を30℃で48時間培養したときの菌数をいう。具体的には、まず卵麹を1g採取し、100mLの界面活性剤(第一工業製薬(株)製、ノイゲン(r)EA-160)を添加した0.8%食塩水中で懸濁する。この懸濁液1mlを用いて混釈法により寒天プレートを作成し、約30℃で48時間培養後、出現したコロニー数をカウントすることで、一般生菌数が求められる。
さらに、粉末卵以外の炭水化物源などを加える必要がなくなる。炭水化物源であるコムギやイネ等は、適度に吸水して基質の性状を整えることができるため、製麹においては基質によく加えられる。一方で、本発明においては、粉末卵を用いて基質の物性を工夫することで、卵以外の原料を使用しなくても均一で旺盛な麹菌の増殖が可能となる。したがって、本発明の卵麹は、卵タンパク質を分解するのに適したプロテアーゼの活性を高められるとともに、デンプンを分解するアミラーゼの活性を抑え、卵を原料とする加工食品の製造に適したものとなる。
<Action and effect of the present invention>
As described above, in the method for producing egg jiuqu of the present invention, aspergillus is inoculated into a substrate containing powdered eggs. Compared to liquid eggs, powdered eggs are dry, have a low water content, and have a large specific surface area. Therefore, the powdered eggs have good water absorption and water retention, and the water content can be adjusted to 20% by mass or more and 40% by mass or less. This has the following advantages.
First, powdered eggs can be dispersed throughout the substrate to prepare the substrate into a moist powder. That is, the powdered eggs retain water and are appropriately dispersed, and the aspergillus can be inoculated evenly over the entire substrate.
In addition, it is possible to suppress the growth of various germs by adjusting the water content to an appropriate level. Specifically, the general viable cell count of egg jiuqu after production can be 1 × 105 CFU / g or less, which can be equivalent to that of general rice jiuqu. By suppressing the growth of various germs to this extent, the risk of contamination of foods is reduced when the egg jiuqu of the present invention is used in the production of processed foods.
The general viable cell count refers to the number of bacteria when a sample solution collected from egg jiuqu is cultured at 30 ° C. for 48 hours based on the food hygiene inspection guideline (2007). Specifically, 1 g of egg jiuqu is first collected and suspended in 0.8% saline solution to which 100 mL of a surfactant (Neugen (r) EA-160, manufactured by Daiichi Kogyo Seiyaku Co., Ltd.) is added. An agar plate is prepared by a pour method using 1 ml of this suspension, and after culturing at about 30 ° C. for 48 hours, the number of colonies that appear is counted to determine the general viable cell count.
Furthermore, there is no need to add carbohydrate sources other than powdered eggs. Wheat, rice, and the like, which are carbohydrate sources, can absorb water appropriately to adjust the properties of the substrate, and are therefore often added to the substrate in the production of jiuqu. On the other hand, in the present invention, by devising the physical characteristics of the substrate using powdered eggs, uniform and vigorous growth of Jiuqu can be achieved without using raw materials other than eggs. Therefore, the egg jiuqu of the present invention can enhance the activity of a protease suitable for decomposing egg protein and suppress the activity of amylase for decomposing starch, and is suitable for producing processed foods made from eggs. Become.

(比較例1,2)
基質として、粉末卵を用いずに、液全卵を用いた比較例1や、粉砕した加熱凝固卵を用いた比較例2では、水分含量が多すぎて、麹菌を培養できる環境ではなかった。
このことから、基質に粉末卵を用いることで適度な量の水を含ませることができ、麹菌の培養が可能な基質を製することができると確認された。
(Comparative Examples 1 and 2)
In Comparative Example 1 in which liquid whole eggs were used without using powdered eggs as a substrate and Comparative Example 2 in which crushed heated coagulated eggs were used, the water content was too high and the environment was not such that aspergillus could be cultivated.

(適性評価の結果)
表1に示すように、乾燥卵黄に味噌用麹菌を接種したサンプル5を添加した加工食品、並びに凍結クックドエッグパウダーに味噌用麹菌を接種したサンプル9及びサンプル11を添加した加工食品は、加塩卵黄のコクが増し、非常に濃厚な味わいであった。これらは、卵を原料とした加工食品の製造に非常に適しているものと評価された。なお、表1には示していないが、サンプル12~14を添加した加工食品についても、これらと同等の非常に良好な味わいであった。
また、乾燥卵黄に焼酎用麹菌を接種したサンプル4を添加した加工食品は、味噌用麹菌を用いたサンプル5を添加した加工食品には若干劣るものの、コクが増加し、良好な味わいであった。
乾燥全卵を用いたサンプル6,7を添加した加工食品、並びに凍結クックドエッグパウダーに焼酎用麹菌を接種したサンプル8及びサンプル10を添加した加工食品も、サンプル4を添加した加工食品と同等の良好な味わいであった。
一方、乾燥卵白を用いたサンプル1~3を添加した加工食品は、基質の吸水性がやや不十分だったためか、他のサンプルを添加した加工食品には若干劣るものの、加塩卵黄のコクを増加できることが確認された。
(Result of aptitude evaluation)
As shown in Table 1, processed foods obtained by adding sample 5 inoculated with miso jiuqu to dried egg yolk, and processed foods containing samples 9 and 11 inoculated with miso jiuqu into frozen cooked egg powder are salted. The richness of the egg yolk increased, and the taste was very rich. These were evaluated to be very suitable for the production of processed foods made from eggs. Although not shown in Table 1, the processed foods to which Samples 12 to 14 were added also had a very good taste equivalent to these.
In addition, the processed food to which the sample 4 inoculated with the aspergillus for shochu was added to the dried egg yolk was slightly inferior to the processed food to which the sample 5 using the aspergillus for miso was added, but the richness was increased and the taste was good. ..
The processed foods containing samples 6 and 7 using dried whole eggs, and the processed foods obtained by inoculating frozen cooked egg powder with Jiuqu for shochu and the processed foods containing sample 10 are equivalent to the processed foods containing sample 4. It was a good taste.
On the other hand, the processed foods containing samples 1 to 3 using dried egg whites were slightly inferior to the processed foods containing other samples, probably because the water absorption of the substrate was slightly insufficient, but the richness of the salted egg yolks increased. It was confirmed that it could be done.

[総括]
本発明の卵麹では、以上の各評価の結果より、粉末卵を用いることで、卵成分と水とを適度に分散させることができ、雑菌の繁殖がしやすい卵を基質に含んでいながらも高温焼成処理などを行わずに製麹できることが確認された。具体的には、基質として、粉末卵を用いたサンプル1~14では、水分含量の多い液全卵や加熱凝固卵を用いた比較例1,2と異なり、基質の表面に麹菌が増殖でき、麹菌の培養が可能な環境が得られた。
さらに、本発明の卵麹では、プロテアーゼ活性が高く、α-アミラーゼ活性が低いという特有の酵素活性パターンを有していることが確認された。これにより、当該卵麹の酵素活性パターンが、卵の成分組成に特にマッチしたものになることが確認された。一方、本実施例で用いた味噌用麹菌や、汎用されている焼酎用麹菌を用いて、米や麦を基質とした米麹、麦麹を製造すると、卵麹とは異なる酵素活性パターンを有する。これらの酵素活性パターンの相違を考慮すると、やはり本発明の卵麹の酵素活性パターンは、例えば粉末卵以外のタンパク質源及び炭水化物源を含まない特有の基質によるものと考えられる。
また、本発明の卵麹は、卵の成分組成に適した酵素活性パターンを有していることから、卵を原料とした加工食品の製造に適していることが確認された。
具体的には、プロテアーゼ活性の特に高いサンプル5,9,11を加塩卵黄に添加した加工食品は、非常に濃厚で深い味わいであった。これは、卵麹に含まれるプロテアーゼ等により、卵タンパク質由来の呈味成分が生成されたものと考えられる。同様に、プロテアーゼ活性が500U/g以上3000U/g未満であるサンプル4,6,7,8,10についても、加工食品に用いたときに、濃厚で深い味わいが楽しめるものとなった。なお、乾燥卵白を用いたサンプル1~3は、基質の吸水性がやや不十分で、他のサンプルよりも麹菌の培養がやや不十分だったためか、他のサンプルよりも加工食品の若干コク味が弱く感じられたが、十分な味わいであった。
また、サンプル4,5,6,10,11,13は、pHが5.0以上7.0以下であった。これにより、卵麹自体のpHが麹菌により産生された酵素の至適pHに近くなり、加工食品としたときにもpHの調整が不要になる。したがって、当該加工食品を所望の味わいとしやすくなり、特に好ましい。他のサンプルについても、pH調整剤として木灰汁を添加したサンプル14を含み、いずれもpHが5.0以上9.0以下の範囲に収まっていた。このため、これらのサンプルを用いた加工食品の製造時においても、pHの調製が不要又は容易になると考えられる。
さらに、培養時間をサンプル12のように24時間と短くしても、また培養温度をサンプル13のように22~26℃としても、所望の酵素活性パターンを有し、卵を原料とした加工食品の製造に適した良好な卵麹を製することができた。
以上のように、本実施例により、卵を原料とする加工食品の製造に適した卵麹を製することができると確認された。
[Summary]
Based on the results of each of the above evaluations, the egg jiuqu of the present invention can appropriately disperse the egg components and water by using powdered eggs, and while containing eggs in which germs can easily propagate. It was confirmed that the koji can be made without high temperature baking treatment. Specifically, in Samples 1 to 14 using powdered eggs as a substrate, aspergillus can grow on the surface of the substrate, unlike Comparative Examples 1 and 2 using liquid whole eggs and heated coagulated eggs having a high water content. An environment in which aspergillus can be cultivated was obtained.
Furthermore, it was confirmed that the egg jiuqu of the present invention has a unique enzyme activity pattern of high protease activity and low α-amylase activity. As a result, it was confirmed that the enzyme activity pattern of the egg jiuqu was particularly matched with the composition of the egg. On the other hand, when Jiuqu for miso used in this example and Jiuqu for shochu, which is widely used, are used to produce Jiuqu and Jiuqu using rice or wheat as a substrate, they have an enzyme activity pattern different from that of egg Jiuqu. .. Considering these differences in the enzyme activity pattern, it is also considered that the enzyme activity pattern of the egg jiuqu of the present invention is due to a unique substrate containing no protein source other than powdered eggs and a carbohydrate source, for example.
Further, since the egg jiuqu of the present invention has an enzyme activity pattern suitable for the composition of eggs, it was confirmed that the egg jiuqu is suitable for producing processed foods using eggs as a raw material.
Specifically, the processed food in which samples 5, 9 and 11 having particularly high protease activity were added to the salted egg yolk had a very rich and deep taste. It is considered that this is because the taste component derived from the egg protein was produced by the protease or the like contained in the egg jiuqu. Similarly, samples 4, 6, 7, 8 and 10 having a protease activity of 500 U / g or more and less than 3000 U / g can enjoy a rich and deep taste when used in processed foods. It should be noted that the samples 1 to 3 using dried egg white had a slightly insufficient water absorption of the substrate, and the culture of aspergillus was slightly inadequate compared to the other samples, so that the processed food had a slightly richer taste than the other samples. Was felt weak, but it tasted good enough.
The pH of the samples 4, 5, 6, 10, 11 and 13 was 5.0 or more and 7.0 or less. As a result, the pH of the egg jiuqu itself becomes close to the optimum pH of the enzyme produced by the aspergillus, and it is not necessary to adjust the pH even when the processed food is prepared. Therefore, it becomes easy to obtain the desired taste of the processed food, which is particularly preferable. The other samples also contained sample 14 to which wood lye was added as a pH adjuster, and the pH was within the range of 5.0 or more and 9.0 or less. Therefore, it is considered that pH adjustment becomes unnecessary or easy even at the time of producing processed foods using these samples.
Further, even if the culture time is shortened to 24 hours as in sample 12 and the culture temperature is 22 to 26 ° C. as in sample 13, the processed food has a desired enzyme activity pattern and is made from eggs. We were able to produce good egg jiuqu suitable for the production of.
As described above, it was confirmed by this example that it is possible to produce egg jiuqu suitable for producing processed foods made from eggs.
