Description

本発明は、果実や野菜等の青果を凍結乾燥させた凍結乾燥青果の製造方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a method for producing freeze-dried fruits and vegetables obtained by freeze-drying fruits and vegetables such as fruits and vegetables.

この種の従来技術として、生鮮いちごや生鮮りんご等の生鮮果実をそのまま凍結乾燥させた凍結乾燥果実がある。かかる凍結乾燥果実は、果実本来の香りや酸味、風味等を比較的良く保持しているため、単なる保存用としてだけでなく、スナック菓子のようにそのまま食したり、あるいは、菓子やケーキのトッピングとして使用したり、さらには、チョコレートでコーティングしてチョコレート菓子の原材料として使用されるなど、幅広く利用されている(例えば特許文献1)。
また、果実以外にも、生鮮野菜を凍結乾燥させた凍結乾燥野菜も知られている。
As a conventional technique of this kind, there is freeze-dried fruit obtained by freeze-drying fresh fruits such as fresh strawberries and fresh apples as they are. Since such freeze-dried fruits retain the original aroma, acidity, flavor, etc. of the fruits relatively well, they can be eaten as they are like snacks, or used as toppings for confectionery and cakes, not only for preservation. Furthermore, it is widely used as a raw material for chocolate confectionery by coating it with chocolate (for example, Patent Document 1).
In addition to fruits, freeze-dried vegetables obtained by freeze-drying fresh vegetables are also known.

このような従来の凍結乾燥果実や凍結乾燥野菜は、生の果実や野菜をそのまま、あるいは、適宜大きさにカットしたりスライスしたりした上で、凍結乾燥させることによって製造される。 Such conventional freeze-dried fruits and vegetables are produced by raw fruits and vegetables as they are, or by cutting or slicing them into appropriate sizes and then freeze-drying them.

特開2003-018961号公報Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-018961 特開2015-208250号公報Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2015-208250

しかしながら、生鮮果実や生鮮野菜を単に凍結乾燥しただけの凍結乾燥果実や凍結乾燥野菜は、パサパサした食感で食べ応えがなく、また、喫食時に唾液が奪われて口内に付着し、不快感を覚えるという問題があった。 However, freeze-dried fruits and freeze-dried vegetables, which are simply freeze-dried fresh fruits and vegetables, have a dry texture and are unresponsive to eating, and saliva is deprived during eating and adheres to the mouth, causing discomfort. There was a problem of remembering.

このような課題を解決するために、本出願人は、以前、特許文献2に記載の技術を提案した。特許文献2に記載の従来技術は、果実をそのまま凍結乾燥するのではなく、果肉を一旦潰してペースト状にし、それに牛乳やファットスプレッド等の脂質含有材料を混合したものを凍結乾燥することにより凍結乾燥果実を製造するというものである。特許文献2に記載の従来技術によれば、口に入れたときに口中の水分が吸い取られるような感じがせず、口溶けの良好な凍結乾燥果実を得ることができる。 In order to solve such a problem, the applicant has previously proposed the technique described in Patent Document 2. In the prior art described in Patent Document 2, the fruit is not freeze-dried as it is, but the fruit pulp is once crushed into a paste, and a mixture of a lipid-containing material such as milk or fat spread is freeze-dried. It is about producing dried fruits. According to the prior art described in Patent Document 2, it is possible to obtain freeze-dried fruits having good melting in the mouth without feeling that the water in the mouth is absorbed when the fruit is put in the mouth.

しかしながら、特許文献2に記載の従来技術は、果肉を潰してペースト状にしなければならず、果肉をそのまま利用するものではない点で依然改良の余地があった。 However, the prior art described in Patent Document 2 still has room for improvement in that the flesh must be crushed into a paste and the flesh is not used as it is.

また、特許文献2に記載の従来技術は、口中の水分が吸い取られるような不快感は軽減できるものの、口溶けの良さを重視している点で、パリッとした歯応えのある食感を目的とするものとは自ずと発明の観点が相違しており、この点でも改良の余地があった。 Further, the prior art described in Patent Document 2 aims at a crispy and crunchy texture in that it emphasizes good melting in the mouth, although it can reduce the discomfort that water in the mouth is absorbed. The viewpoint of the invention was naturally different from that of the one, and there was room for improvement in this respect as well.

本発明は、かかる課題を解決するためになされたものであり、従来の凍結乾燥果実や凍結乾燥野菜が有していた、パサパサした食感や口中の水分が奪われるような不快感を軽減し、パリッとした歯応えのある食感を有する凍結乾燥果実及び凍結乾燥野菜の製造方法を提供することを目的とする。 The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and alleviates the unpleasant sensation of the dry texture and the deprivation of water in the mouth, which are possessed by conventional freeze-dried fruits and freeze-dried vegetables. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for producing freeze-dried fruits and freeze-dried vegetables having a crispy and crunchy texture.

本発明者らは、果実や野菜を一旦凍結乾燥させた後、加湿し、その後再び凍結乾燥させれば、口中の水分が奪われるような不快感がなくパリッとした歯応えのある食感を有する凍結乾燥果実や凍結乾燥野菜が得られることを見出した。本発明は、かかる知見に基づいてなされたものであり、以下の工程で製造することを特徴とする。 The present inventors have a crispy and crunchy texture without the discomfort of depriving the mouth of water by freeze-drying fruits and vegetables, humidifying them, and then freeze-drying them again. We have found that freeze-dried fruits and freeze-dried vegetables can be obtained. The present invention has been made based on such findings, and is characterized by being manufactured by the following steps.

すなわち、本発明の凍結乾燥青果の製造方法は、以下の工程(a)~(d)を含むことを特徴とする。
(a)青果を予備凍結させる予備凍結工程、
(b)予備凍結させた青果を凍結乾燥する第1の凍結乾燥工程、
(c)上記凍結乾燥させた青果を加湿する加湿工程、
(d)上記加湿させた青果を圧縮成形することなく再度凍結乾燥させる第2の凍結乾燥工程。
That is, the method for producing freeze-dried fruits and vegetables of the present invention is characterized by including the following steps (a) to (d).
(A) Pre-freezing step of pre-freezing fruits and vegetables,
(B) First freeze-drying step of freeze-drying pre-frozen fruits and vegetables,
(C) A humidifying step of humidifying the freeze-dried fruits and vegetables,
(D) A second freeze-drying step of freeze-drying the humidified fruits and vegetables again without compression molding .

ここで「青果」とは「野菜と果物の総称」(大辞林第三版)とされていることから、本明細書においても、「青果」の語は野菜と果実の両方を含む意味で使用する。 Here, since "vegetables" is a general term for "vegetables and fruits" (Daijirin 3rd edition), the term "vegetables" is also used in this specification to mean both vegetables and fruits. ..

本発明の正確な作用機序は詳らかではないが、第1回目の凍結乾燥工程後に加湿工程を入れることで果実や野菜が収縮し、組織が密になるためではないかと考えられる。このように組織が収縮して密になったものを再び凍結乾燥させることにより、パリッとした歯応えのある食感が生まれるものと推測される。 Although the exact mechanism of action of the present invention is not clear, it is considered that the fruit and vegetables shrink and the tissue becomes dense by adding the humidification step after the first freeze-drying step. It is presumed that a crispy and crunchy texture is produced by freeze-drying the tissue that has contracted and become dense again.

本発明の好適な実施形態の一つでは、前記加湿工程は、前記第1の凍結乾燥工程後の青果を加温・加湿雰囲気下に放置して加湿することにより実施される。 In one of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, the humidification step is carried out by leaving the fruits and vegetables after the first freeze-drying step in a warming / humidifying atmosphere to humidify them.

また、本発明の好適な実施形態の一つでは、前記加湿工程後の青果の水分含有率が14~27重量%となるように実施される。 Further, in one of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, the moisture content of the fruits and vegetables after the humidification step is 14 to 27% by weight.

本発明によれば、パサパサした食感や口中の水分が奪われるような不快感を軽減して、パリッとした歯応えのある食感を有する凍結乾燥青果を得ることができる。 According to the present invention, it is possible to obtain freeze-dried fruits and vegetables having a crispy and crunchy texture by reducing the dry texture and the discomfort that the water in the mouth is deprived.

以下、本発明の実施形態について説明する。但し、本発明は以下の実施形態に限定されるものではない。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described. However, the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

〔1〕青果
本発明で使用する青果は、生鮮品であってもよいし、冷凍品であってもよい。あるいは、糖でコーティングされたものや、糖蜜やシロップなどの調味液に浸漬されたものなど、味付けされたものであってもよい。味付け用の調味液には、さらに酸味料や酸化防止剤等を加えてもよい。調味液に浸漬して味付けする場合は、適宜時間(例えば1時間~1晩)、青果を調味液に浸漬させればよい。
[1] Fruits and vegetables The fruits and vegetables used in the present invention may be fresh products or frozen products. Alternatively, it may be seasoned, such as one coated with sugar or one soaked in a seasoning liquid such as molasses or syrup. An acidulant, an antioxidant or the like may be further added to the seasoning liquid for seasoning. When the seasoning is to be soaked in the seasoning liquid, the fruits and vegetables may be soaked in the seasoning liquid for an appropriate time (for example, 1 hour to overnight).

青果の種類は特に限定されない。例えば、果実としては、いちご、ぶどう、パイナップル、バナナ、もも、キウイ、りんごなどを例示することができる。また、野菜としては、カボチャ、ニンジン、さつまいもなどを例示することができる。これらを所望の大きさにカットしたりスライスしたりして使用するが、もとの大きさが小さい場合は、まるごと使用してもよい。また、喫食に適さない皮や種子等の不要部分は予め取り除く等の下処理をしておくことが好ましい。 The types of fruits and vegetables are not particularly limited. For example, examples of fruits include strawberries, grapes, pineapples, bananas, thighs, kiwis, and apples. Moreover, as a vegetable, pumpkin, carrot, sweet potato and the like can be exemplified. These are cut or sliced to a desired size and used, but if the original size is small, the whole may be used. In addition, it is preferable to perform pretreatment such as removing unnecessary parts such as skins and seeds that are not suitable for eating in advance.

〔2〕予備凍結工程(a)
上記のようにして準備した青果を常法により予備凍結する。予備凍結の方法は特に限定されないが、一例としては、冷凍庫内に一晩入れて凍結させるという方法を挙げることができる。予備凍結工程では、青果に含まれる自由水を完全に凍結させることが好ましい。
[2] Preliminary freezing step (a)
The fruits and vegetables prepared as described above are pre-frozen by a conventional method. The method of pre-freezing is not particularly limited, and one example is a method of placing the product in a freezer overnight to freeze it. In the preliminary freezing step, it is preferable to completely freeze the free water contained in the fruits and vegetables.

〔3〕第1の凍結乾燥工程(b)
上記のようにして予備凍結させた青果を常法により減圧(真空)下で水分(氷)を昇華させて凍結乾燥させる。従来の凍結乾燥果実や凍結乾燥野菜は、このようにして製造されていた。この第1回目の凍結乾燥工程後の青果の水分含有率は17重量%以下が好ましく、より好ましくは10重量%以下である。一般的な凍結乾燥品の水分含有率は概ねこの範囲に収まるので、この第1の凍結乾燥工程では通常どおりの方法で凍結乾燥させればよい。
[3] First freeze-drying step (b)
The fruits and vegetables pre-frozen as described above are freeze-dried by sublimating water (ice) under reduced pressure (vacuum) by a conventional method. Conventional freeze-dried fruits and freeze-dried vegetables have been produced in this way. The water content of the fruits and vegetables after the first freeze-drying step is preferably 17% by weight or less, more preferably 10% by weight or less. Since the water content of a general freeze-dried product is generally within this range, the first freeze-drying step may be freeze-dried by a usual method.

〔4〕加湿工程(c)
上記のようにして凍結乾燥させた青果を次に加湿する。加湿する方法としては、第1の凍結乾燥工程で使用した真空下の凍結乾燥釜内に別途ボイラーで焚いた水蒸気を供給して加湿してもよいし、凍結乾燥釜から一旦青果を取り出して恒温恒湿機などにより常圧下で加湿してもよい。いずれにしても、前記第1の凍結乾燥工程が終了した青果を加温・加湿雰囲気下に放置することにより加湿することが好ましい。
[4] Humidification step (c)
The fruits and vegetables freeze-dried as described above are then humidified. As a method of humidifying, steam separately heated by a boiler may be supplied to the freeze-drying kettle under vacuum used in the first freeze-drying step to humidify, or fruits and vegetables are once taken out from the freeze-drying kettle and kept at a constant temperature. Humidification may be performed under normal pressure with a humidifier or the like. In any case, it is preferable to humidify the fruits and vegetables after the first freeze-drying step by leaving them in a warming / humidifying atmosphere.

以上の加湿工程後の青果の水分含有率は、好ましくは14~27重量%であり、より好ましくは15~24重量%である。 The water content of fruits and vegetables after the above humidification step is preferably 14 to 27% by weight, more preferably 15 to 24% by weight.

このようにして一旦凍結乾燥させた青果を加湿すると組織が収縮して密になるという現象がみられる。これが最終製品の歯応えに影響をもたらすと考えられる。本発明者らがいちごのスライスについて行なった試験では、第1の凍結乾燥工程後、加湿工程前の段階では厚みが5.9mmだったものが、加湿工程後では3.5mmになっていた。また、スライス断面を含む全体の大きさも加湿工程後では収縮し全体的に小振りになっていた。 When the fruits and vegetables that have been freeze-dried in this way are humidified, the tissue shrinks and becomes dense. This is thought to affect the texture of the final product. In the test conducted by the present inventors on strawberry slices, the thickness was 5.9 mm after the first freeze-drying step and before the humidification step, but it was 3.5 mm after the humidification step. In addition, the overall size including the slice cross section also shrank after the humidification step and became small overall.

〔5〕第2の凍結乾燥工程(d)
上記のようにして加湿した青果を再度凍結乾燥釜内で凍結乾燥させる。本発明の好適な実施形態の一つでは、加湿工程で加えられた水分がこの第2の凍結乾燥工程で減圧されることにより自己凍結し、そうして生成された氷結晶が昇華することにより凍結乾燥されることになる。
[5] Second freeze-drying step (d)
The fruits and vegetables moistened as described above are freeze-dried again in the freeze-drying kettle. In one of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, the water added in the humidification step is self-frozen by being depressurized in the second freeze-drying step, and the ice crystals thus produced are sublimated. It will be freeze-dried.

但し、本発明は、かかる実施形態に限定されない。すなわち、自己凍結ではなく、再度予備凍結を行うことによって氷結晶を形成してもよい。具体的には、加湿工程が終了した青果をそのまま凍結乾燥釜内に入れて自己凍結させるのではなく、第2の凍結乾燥工程前に第2回目の予備凍結工程を入れ、この第2回目の予備凍結工程において冷凍庫等を使用して水分を凍結させ、それを第2の凍結乾燥工程で昇華させることにより凍結乾燥させることもできる。つまり、本発明では、第2の凍結乾燥工程において昇華される氷結晶の形成手段は、自己凍結の場合に限らず、予備凍結(第2回目の予備凍結)による場合も含まれる。 However, the present invention is not limited to such an embodiment. That is, ice crystals may be formed by performing preliminary freezing again instead of self-freezing. Specifically, instead of putting the fruits and vegetables that have completed the humidification step into the freeze-drying pot as they are and self-freezing, a second preliminary freezing step is put in before the second freeze-drying step, and this second time. It is also possible to freeze-dry by freezing the water using a freezer or the like in the preliminary freezing step and sublimating it in the second freeze-drying step. That is, in the present invention, the means for forming ice crystals sublimated in the second freeze-drying step is not limited to the case of self-freezing, but also includes the case of pre-freezing (second pre-freezing).

第2の凍結乾燥工程後の青果の水分含有率は従来の凍結乾燥青果の水分含有率と同程度であればよく、概ね5重量%以下とするのが好ましい。 The water content of the fruits and vegetables after the second freeze-drying step may be about the same as the water content of the conventional freeze-dried fruits and vegetables, and is preferably about 5% by weight or less.

以上のようにして得られた本発明の凍結乾燥青果は、パリッとした歯応えがあり、口に含んでも口内の水分が吸い取られるような不快感がない。このため、そのままスナック菓子のように喫食に供してもよいし、菓子やケーキ、サラダなどのトッピング材料として使用してもよい。さらに、一旦パウダー状にした後打錠して清涼菓子などの錠菓として成形してもよいし、チョコレートでコーティングしてチョコレート菓子用の原材料として利用してもよい。 The freeze-dried fruits and vegetables of the present invention obtained as described above have a crisp texture, and even if they are contained in the mouth, there is no discomfort that the water in the mouth is absorbed. Therefore, it may be used as it is for eating like a snack confectionery, or it may be used as a topping material for confectionery, cakes, salads, and the like. Further, it may be powdered and then locked to form a confectionery such as a refreshing confectionery, or it may be coated with chocolate and used as a raw material for chocolate confectionery.

以下、本発明の実施例について説明する。但し、以下の実施例はあくまで一例であり、本発明は以下のものに限定されるものではない。
なお、以下においては、特に断らない限り、%は重量%を表す。また、表関係は明細書の末尾に纏めて記載する。
Hereinafter, examples of the present invention will be described. However, the following examples are merely examples, and the present invention is not limited to the following.
In the following,% represents weight% unless otherwise specified. In addition, the table relations are summarized at the end of the specification.

《いちご》
〔1〕実施例1の製造
青果原料として生鮮いちごを使用し、ヘタを取り除く等の下処理をした後、水洗し、厚さ7mmの大きさにスライスした(以下、これを「スライスいちご」という)。
別途、水800重量部に、上白糖200重量部、酸化防止剤(ビタミンE)1重量部、酸味料(クエン酸)4重量部を加えて均一に混合した調味液を準備し、それにスライスいちごを浸漬させた。
"Strawberry"
[1] Production of Example 1 Fresh strawberries were used as a raw material for fruits and vegetables, and after pretreatment such as removing calyx, they were washed with water and sliced to a thickness of 7 mm (hereinafter, this is referred to as "sliced strawberries"). ).
Separately, add 200 parts by weight of white sugar, 1 part by weight of antioxidant (vitamin E), and 4 parts by weight of acidulant (citric acid) to 800 parts by weight of water to prepare a seasoning liquid that is uniformly mixed, and sliced strawberries. Was soaked.

このようにして味付けしたスライスいちごをトレーに盛り、冷凍庫に1晩入れて完全に凍結させた(予備凍結工程)。
次いで、これを凍結乾燥釜に入れて凍結乾燥させた(第1の凍結乾燥工程)。乾燥条件は、周囲気圧65Pa、棚温度0℃で1時間、次いで棚温度を80℃に上げて1時間、その後は棚温度50度で完全に乾燥するまでというものである。この第1の凍結乾燥工程後のスライスいちごの水分含有率は1.5%であった。
The sliced strawberries seasoned in this way were placed on a tray and placed in a freezer overnight to completely freeze them (preliminary freezing step).
Then, this was put in a freeze-drying kettle and freeze-dried (first freeze-drying step). The drying conditions are such that the ambient air pressure is 65 Pa, the shelf temperature is 0 ° C. for 1 hour, then the shelf temperature is raised to 80 ° C. for 1 hour, and then the shelf temperature is 50 ° C. for complete drying. The water content of the sliced strawberries after this first freeze-drying step was 1.5%.

このようにして凍結乾燥させたスライスいちごを、温度70℃、相対湿度75%、常圧という加温・加湿雰囲気下に30分放置して加湿した(加湿工程)。加湿工程後のスライスいちごの水分含有率は19%であった。 The sliced strawberry freeze-dried in this manner was left to humidify for 30 minutes in a warming / humidifying atmosphere having a temperature of 70 ° C., a relative humidity of 75%, and a normal pressure (humidification step). The water content of the sliced strawberries after the humidification step was 19%.

次いでこれを再び凍結乾燥釜内で凍結乾燥させた(第2の凍結乾燥工程)。乾燥条件は、周囲気圧65Pa,棚温度50度で完全に乾燥するまでというものである。この第2の凍結乾燥工程後のスライスいちごの水分含有率は1.5%であった。
以上のようにして得られた凍結乾燥いちごを実施例1とした。
Then, this was freeze-dried again in the freeze-drying kettle (second freeze-drying step). The drying conditions are until it is completely dried at an ambient air pressure of 65 Pa and a shelf temperature of 50 degrees. The water content of the sliced strawberries after this second freeze-drying step was 1.5%.
The freeze-dried strawberry obtained as described above was designated as Example 1.

〔2〕比較例1-1の製造
比較例1-1は、実施例1において第1の凍結乾燥工程が終了した段階のものを試料としたものである。つまり、比較例1-1は、第1の凍結乾燥工程までは実施例1と同じで、その後は加湿工程も第2の凍結乾燥工程も行わなかったものである。この比較例1-1が一般的な従来技術に相当する。比較例1-1の水分含有率は1.5%であった。
[2] Production of Comparative Example 1-1 Comparative Example 1-1 is a sample of Example 1 at the stage where the first freeze-drying step is completed. That is, Comparative Example 1-1 is the same as that of Example 1 until the first freeze-drying step, and after that, neither the humidification step nor the second freeze-drying step is performed. This Comparative Example 1-1 corresponds to a general conventional technique. The water content of Comparative Example 1-1 was 1.5%.

〔3〕比較例1-2の製造
比較例1-2は、実施例1において加湿工程が終了した段階のものを試料としたものである。言い換えれば、比較例1-2は、加湿工程までは実施例1と同じで、その後第2の凍結乾燥工程を行なわなかったものに相当する。比較例1-2の水分含有率は19%であった。
[3] Production of Comparative Example 1-2 Comparative Example 1-2 is a sample of Example 1 at the stage where the humidification step is completed. In other words, Comparative Example 1-2 is the same as that of Example 1 until the humidification step, and then corresponds to the one in which the second freeze-drying step was not performed. The water content of Comparative Example 1-2 was 19%.

〔4〕実施例1及び比較例1-1・1-2の評価
以上のようにして製造した実施例1及び比較例1-1・1-2について、その「食感」及び「外観」を官能試験により評価した。官能試験は3名のパネラーにより行い、「食感」及び「外観」のいずれについても5段階で評価して、その平均値をそれぞれの評点とした。評価基準は表1のとおりである。そして、「食感」及び「外観」の各評点の合計値を「総合評価」とした。
[4] Evaluation of Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-1 and 1-2 The "texture" and "appearance" of Examples 1 and 1-1 and 1-2 manufactured as described above are described. It was evaluated by a sensory test. The sensory test was conducted by three panelists, and both "texture" and "appearance" were evaluated on a five-point scale, and the average value was used as the respective score. The evaluation criteria are as shown in Table 1. Then, the total value of each score of "texture" and "appearance" was defined as "comprehensive evaluation".

評価結果は表2に示すとおりである。なお、表2中、「FD」との記載は凍結乾燥処理を行ったことを意味する。
実施例1は、「食感」及び「外観」のいずれにおいても評価が高く、「総合評価」において最も評点が高かった。パリッとした歯応えがあり、口に含んでも口内の水分が吸い取られるような不快感がなかった。
これに対して、比較例1-1は、「外観」においては最も評価が高かったが、食感がパリッとせず、口内に付着した。
さらに、比較例1-2は、「食感」及び「外観」のいずれにおいても最低評価で、「総合評価」においても最も評価が低かった。加湿工程の段階で終わっているので食感がネチネチしており、とても食べられなかった。
The evaluation results are shown in Table 2. In addition, in Table 2, the description of "FD" means that freeze-drying treatment was performed.
Example 1 had a high evaluation in both "texture" and "appearance", and had the highest score in "comprehensive evaluation". It had a crispy texture, and there was no discomfort that the water in the mouth was absorbed even if it was contained in the mouth.
On the other hand, Comparative Example 1-1 had the highest evaluation in terms of "appearance", but the texture was not crisp and adhered to the mouth.
Further, Comparative Example 1-2 had the lowest evaluation in both "texture" and "appearance", and the lowest evaluation in "comprehensive evaluation". Since it was finished at the stage of the humidification process, the texture was sticky and I couldn't eat it very much.
