Description
本発明は、三次元造形食品用インクに関する。 The present invention relates to an ink for three-dimensionally shaped foods.
食品分野では、3Dプリンタ等で製造される三次元造形食品が利用されている。例えば、食品の嗜好性を高めるために、三次元造形食品の立体形状を利用することが提案されている。また、三次元造形食品は、形状などのデータが入力された3Dプリンタで自動的に製造され得るため、介護施設や病院などの施設における人手不足の解消に寄与すると考えられている。 In the food field, three-dimensionally shaped foods manufactured using 3D printers and the like are used. For example, it has been proposed to utilize the three-dimensional shape of three-dimensionally shaped foods in order to enhance the palatability of foods. Moreover, since three-dimensionally shaped foods can be automatically manufactured using a 3D printer into which data such as shape is input, it is thought that it will contribute to resolving labor shortages in facilities such as nursing homes and hospitals.
従来、三次元造形食品の製造に用いられるインクについての検討がなされている。例えば、特許文献1には、アルファ化澱粉等の基材と、該基材を分解し得るアミラーゼ等の分解剤と、アルギン酸ナトリウム等のゲル化剤とを含むインクが記載されている。かかるインクによれば、分解剤により基材が分解されるとともに、ゲル化剤によりインクがゲル化することによって、保形性等が付与された三次元造形食品が得られるとされている。 BACKGROUND ART Considerations have been made regarding inks used in the production of three-dimensionally shaped foods. For example, Patent Document 1 describes an ink that includes a base material such as pregelatinized starch, a decomposing agent such as amylase that can decompose the base material, and a gelling agent such as sodium alginate. According to such an ink, the base material is decomposed by the decomposing agent, and the ink is gelled by the gelling agent, thereby making it possible to obtain a three-dimensionally shaped food with shape retention properties and the like.
また、特許文献2には、豆類から抽出されたゲル化剤を含むインクが記載されている。かかるインクによれば、ゲル化剤のゲル化温度が10℃以下であるため、吐出前のインクを加温せずとも三次元造形食品を製造できるとされている。一方、特許文献3には、ゲル化温度が40℃程度の脱アシル型ジェランガムを含むインクが記載されている。かかるインクによれば、吐出先の雰囲気が室温であっても造形が可能とされている。 Further, Patent Document 2 describes an ink containing a gelling agent extracted from beans. According to this ink, since the gelling temperature of the gelling agent is 10° C. or lower, three-dimensionally shaped foods can be produced without heating the ink before ejection. On the other hand, Patent Document 3 describes an ink containing deacylated gellan gum with a gelling temperature of about 40°C. According to such ink, modeling is possible even if the atmosphere at the ejection destination is room temperature.
これらの他、特許文献4では、澱粉粉末と水とを含むインクにレーザー光を照射することによって該インクをゲル化させる方法が提案されている。 In addition to these, Patent Document 4 proposes a method of gelling an ink containing starch powder and water by irradiating the ink with laser light.
ところで、近年の外食産業等の食品に対する嗜好性の高まりから、より複雑な立体形状を有する三次元造形食品の提供が望まれ得る。そして、かかる要望を満たすために、三次元造形食品用インクには、複雑な立体形状を成形するための成形性が求められる。成形性としては、例えば、尖った角部のような形状を成形可能な性能が挙げられる。また、三次元造形食品用インクには、製造後から喫食までの間において当該立体形状を維持するための保形性が求められる。保形性としては、所定の高さを維持可能な性能、言い換えれば、崩れ落ちを抑制し得る性能が特に重要である。しかしながら、従来技術のインクでは、所望の成形性及び保形性を三次元造形食品に十分に付与できない場合がある。 Incidentally, due to the recent increase in preference for foods in the restaurant industry and the like, it may be desirable to provide three-dimensionally shaped foods having more complex three-dimensional shapes. In order to meet such demands, inks for three-dimensionally shaped foods are required to have moldability to form complex three-dimensional shapes. Formability includes, for example, the ability to form shapes such as sharp corners. Furthermore, inks for three-dimensionally shaped foods are required to have shape retention properties to maintain the three-dimensional shape from the time of manufacture to the time of consumption. Regarding shape retention, the ability to maintain a predetermined height, in other words, the ability to suppress collapse is particularly important. However, conventional inks may not be able to sufficiently impart desired moldability and shape retention to three-dimensionally shaped foods.
また、特許文献1及び特許文献2の技術のように、従来多用されているゲル化剤を含むインクでは、一般的に、3Dプリンタ等からの吐出前にゲル化が生じないようにするために、加温等の温度制御が必要となる場合がある。また、吐出後にゲル化を促進するために、冷却等の温度制御が必要となる場合がある。よって、従来技術のインクは、三次元造形食品のより簡便な製造という点において改善の余地がある。そして、かかる改善は、外食産業等における三次元造形食品の普及において特に重要と考えられる。 In addition, as in the techniques of Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, ink containing a gelling agent, which is commonly used in the past, is generally used to prevent gelation from occurring before being ejected from a 3D printer, etc. , temperature control such as heating may be required. Further, temperature control such as cooling may be required to promote gelation after discharge. Therefore, the ink of the prior art has room for improvement in terms of easier production of three-dimensionally shaped foods. Such improvements are considered to be particularly important in the spread of three-dimensionally shaped foods in the restaurant industry and the like.

We are prepared. That is, the 3D printer 1 is a 3D printer that employs a material extrusion method. The cylinder section 10 and the processing table 40 are configured to move relative to each other in the horizontal and vertical directions. The 3D printer 1 also includes a sensor unit that measures the distance between the tip of the cylinder unit 10 and the processing table 40 or the object on the processing table 40, and a scan unit that acquires data regarding the surface shape of the object in real time. It is equipped with The 3D printer 1 is configured to control the amount of ink ejected from the cylinder section 10 and the relative movement based on 3D data input to the control section and data acquired by the scanning section. In addition, the ink for three-dimensionally shaped foods of this embodiment is suppressed from solidifying like a gel, and exhibits desired formability and shape retention even if the atmosphere at the ejection destination is room temperature. It's something you get. Therefore, the 3D printer does not need to include the heat exchange section and temperature control section as described above.

The ink inside the cylinder section 10 is pressed by the plunger section 20 and is discharged onto the processing table 40 via the nozzle section 11.
本実施形態の製造方法は、三次元造形食品用インクを調製する調製工程と、三次元造形食品用インク及び3Dプリンタ1を用いて三次元造形食品を作製する造形工程とを備える。 The manufacturing method of this embodiment includes a preparation step of preparing an ink for three-dimensionally shaped food, and a modeling step of producing the three-dimensionally shaped food using the ink for three-dimensionally shaped food and the 3D printer 1.
本実施形態の調製工程では、必要に応じて加熱処理された前記食材と、前記食物繊維と、任意的な水分量調整用の水とを1~30℃で混合し、ペースト状の三次元造形食品用インクを調製する。調製工程では、ペースト状とされた前記食材と前記食物繊維とを混合してもよく、前記食材と前記食物繊維とを混合した混合物をペースト状としてもよい。 In the preparation process of this embodiment, the food material, which has been heat-treated as necessary, the dietary fiber, and optionally water for adjusting the moisture content are mixed at 1 to 30°C, and a paste-like three-dimensional model is formed. Prepare food grade ink. In the preparation step, the pasted food material and the dietary fiber may be mixed, or a mixture of the food material and the dietary fiber may be made into a paste state.
本実施形態の調製工程では、1~30℃の三次元造形食品用インクを調製する。混合温度は、15~30℃であってもよく、20~30℃であってもよい。このような室温を含む温度範囲で調製された三次元造形食品用インクであっても、三次元造形食品に所望の成形性及び保形性を発揮させることができる。 In the preparation process of this embodiment, an ink for three-dimensionally shaped foods at a temperature of 1 to 30°C is prepared. The mixing temperature may be 15-30°C or 20-30°C. Even with an ink for three-dimensionally shaped foods prepared in a temperature range including room temperature, the three-dimensionally shaped foods can exhibit desired moldability and shape retention.
混合には、前記食材を剪断可能なミキサー等を用いることが好ましい。また、前記食物繊維を水に分散させ、ミキサー等で事前に膨潤させてから前記食材と混合してもよい。より好ましくは、前記食物繊維の膨潤には、圧力ホモジナイザーを用いる。前記圧力ホモジナイザーは、前記食物繊維の水溶液を15MPa以上の圧力で処理可能なものが好ましい。圧力ホモジナイザーを用いることによって、前記食物繊維がより多くの水分を保持しつつ膨潤し得る繊維構造を有するものとなる。そして、このような食物繊維を含む三次元造形食品用インクは、離水を抑制することができ、それによって、より優れた保形性を三次元造形食品に発揮させることができる。また、ノズル部11からの吐出性が良好なものとなる。さらに、このようなインクで製造された三次元造形食品は、滑らかな食感を有するものとなる。 For mixing, it is preferable to use a mixer or the like that can shear the ingredients. Alternatively, the dietary fiber may be dispersed in water, swollen in advance using a mixer, etc., and then mixed with the food material. More preferably, a pressure homogenizer is used to swell the dietary fiber. The pressure homogenizer is preferably one that can process the aqueous solution of dietary fiber at a pressure of 15 MPa or more. By using a pressure homogenizer, the dietary fiber has a fibrous structure that can retain more water and swell. The ink for three-dimensionally shaped foods containing such dietary fibers can suppress syneresis, thereby allowing the three-dimensionally shaped foods to exhibit better shape retention. Moreover, the ejection performance from the nozzle portion 11 is improved. Furthermore, three-dimensionally shaped foods manufactured using such ink have a smooth texture.
本実施形態の造形工程では、調製工程で調製した三次元造形食品用インクをシリンダ部10に充填し、該インクを1~30℃の雰囲気下に置かれた加工台40に吐出し、三次元造形食品を製造する。このように、本実施形態の三次元造形食品用インクは、前記食物繊維を含むことによって、吐出前のシリンダ部10での温度制御及び吐出後の温度制御を行うことなく、優れた成形性及び保形性を発揮し得る三次元造形食品を製造することができる。すなわち、本実施形態の三次元造形食品用インクによれば、三次元造形食品の製造工程を簡便なものとすることができる。また、従来技術で多用されているゲル化剤や増粘剤のみで十分な成形性及び保形性を付与しようした場合、添加量が多くなり、口当たりや食感に影響が出る場合がある。本実施形態の三次元造形食品用インクは、前記食物繊維を含むことによって、ゲル化剤や増粘剤の添加量を大幅に減らすことができ、またこれらを実質的に含まずとも、優れた成形性及び保形性を有する三次元造形食品を製造することができる。これにより、本実施形態の三次元造形食品用インクで製造された三次元造形食品は、ぬめりやべたつきが少なく、口当たりや食感が良好なものとなる。 In the modeling process of this embodiment, the cylinder part 10 is filled with the ink for three-dimensionally shaped food prepared in the preparation process, and the ink is discharged onto the processing table 40 placed in an atmosphere of 1 to 30°C, Manufacture shaped foods. As described above, the ink for three-dimensionally shaped food according to the present embodiment has excellent moldability and excellent moldability without performing temperature control in the cylinder section 10 before and after ejection by containing the dietary fiber. It is possible to produce a three-dimensionally shaped food that exhibits shape-retaining properties. That is, according to the ink for three-dimensionally shaped foods of this embodiment, the manufacturing process of three-dimensionally shaped foods can be simplified. Furthermore, when attempting to impart sufficient moldability and shape retention using only gelling agents and thickeners, which are often used in the prior art, the amount added becomes large, which may affect the mouth feel and texture. By containing the dietary fiber, the ink for three-dimensionally shaped food according to the present embodiment can significantly reduce the amount of gelling agent and thickener added, and even without substantially containing these, the ink has excellent properties. Three-dimensionally shaped foods that have moldability and shape retention can be produced. As a result, the three-dimensionally shaped food produced using the ink for three-dimensionally shaped foods of this embodiment has less sliminess and stickiness, and has a good mouthfeel and texture.
本実施形態では、前記三次元造形食品をそのまま提供してもよく、前記三次元造形食品を加熱した後に提供してもよい。例えば、前記食材として生肉を用いた場合、生の状態の前記三次元造形食品を製造し、該三次元造形食品をオーブン等で加熱処理してもよい。前記食物繊維を含むことによって、加熱時においても離水が抑えられ、ジューシーな三次元造形食品とすることができる。 In this embodiment, the three-dimensionally shaped food may be provided as is, or may be provided after the three-dimensionally shaped food is heated. For example, when raw meat is used as the food material, the three-dimensionally shaped food may be produced in a raw state, and the three-dimensionally shaped food may be heat-treated in an oven or the like. By containing the dietary fiber, syneresis can be suppressed even during heating, and a juicy three-dimensionally shaped food can be obtained.
以上のように、例示としての実施形態を示したが、本発明に係る三次元造形食品用インクは、上記実施形態の構成に限定されるものではない。また、本発明に係る三次元造形食品用インクは、上記した作用効果により限定されるものでもない。本発明に係る三次元造形食品用インクは、本発明の要旨を逸脱しない範囲で種々の変更が可能である。 As described above, although the exemplary embodiment has been shown, the ink for three-dimensionally shaped food according to the present invention is not limited to the configuration of the above embodiment.

特に、三次元造形食品の成形性及び保形性をさらに向上させるために、ゲル化剤及び増粘剤を添加してもよい。ゲル化剤としては、例えば、ネイティブ型ジェランガム、前記ネイティブ型ジェランガムのアシル基が部分的に除去された部分脱アシル化ジェランガム、前記ネイティブ型ジェランガムのアシル基が除去された脱アシル型ジェランガム等が挙げられる。増粘剤としては、例えば、キサンタンガム、タマリンドシードガム、グァーガム、ローカストビーンガム等が挙げられる。 In particular, in order to further improve the moldability and shape retention of the three-dimensionally shaped food, a gelling agent and a thickener may be added. Examples of the gelling agent include native gellan gum, partially deacylated gellan gum from which the acyl groups of the native gellan gum have been partially removed, and deacylated gellan gum from which the acyl groups of the native gellan gum have been removed. It will be done. Examples of thickeners include xanthan gum, tamarind seed gum, guar gum, and locust bean gum.
ただし、ゲル化剤及び増粘剤の添加は、三次元造形食品の口当たりや食感を悪化させるおそれがある。よって、三次元造形食品用インクの総質量に対するゲル化剤及び増粘剤の合計の質量割合は、添加剤としての前記食物繊維よりも少ないことが好ましく、例えば、1質量%以下が好ましく、0.6質量%以下がより好ましい。 However, the addition of gelling agents and thickeners may deteriorate the mouthfeel and texture of the three-dimensionally shaped food. Therefore, the total mass ratio of the gelling agent and the thickener to the total mass of the ink for three-dimensionally shaped food is preferably smaller than the dietary fiber as an additive, for example, preferably 1% by mass or less, and 0% by mass or less. .6% by mass or less is more preferable.

添加剤としての食物繊維の保水力の値は、表1に示したとおりである。なお、添加剤としての食物繊維の保水力の値については、以下の方法によって測定した。また、表1には、上記方法によって測定した不溶性食物繊維及び水溶性食物繊維の含有量を併記した。 The water-holding capacity values of dietary fiber as an additive are shown in Table 1. In addition, the value of the water retention capacity of the dietary fiber as an additive was measured by the following method. Table 1 also lists the contents of insoluble dietary fiber and water-soluble dietary fiber measured by the above method.
(保水力の測定)
まず、ハロゲン水分計(メトラー・トレド社、HG53 Halogen Moisture Analyzer)を用い、試料の乾燥減量を測定した。
次に、質量既知の50mL遠心管に試料0.3gと水29.7gとを添加し、1質量%の試料溶液を調製した。このとき、試料全体に水が行きわたるようにする。温度20~30℃、大気圧下にて24時間静置した。静置後、遠心機(日立製作所、日立高速冷却遠心機CR20GIII)を用いて25℃、4,000gで10分間遠心分離した。遠心管を静かに傾けて逆さにしてから3秒間静置し、上澄み液及び沈殿していない食物繊維を除去し含水繊維を得た。上澄み液等を除去した遠心管の質量を測定し、そこから空の遠心管の質量を引いた値を「含水繊維の質量」とした。また、ハロゲン水分計での測定により得られた乾燥減量の値を用いて、以下の式により乾燥繊維の質量を算出した。
乾燥繊維の質量(g)=0.3×(100-乾燥減量(%))/100
これらの値を用いて、以下の式により保水力を算出した。
保水力(g/g)=(含水繊維の質量-乾燥繊維の質量)/乾燥繊維の質量
(Measurement of water retention capacity)
First, the loss on drying of the sample was measured using a halogen moisture analyzer (METTLER TOLEDO, HG53 Halogen Moisture Analyzer).
Next, 0.3 g of the sample and 29.7 g of water were added to a 50 mL centrifuge tube of known mass to prepare a 1% by mass sample solution. At this time, make sure that water is distributed throughout the sample. The mixture was allowed to stand for 24 hours at a temperature of 20 to 30°C and atmospheric pressure. After standing still, centrifugation was performed at 25° C. and 4,000 g for 10 minutes using a centrifuge (Hitachi High Speed Refrigerated Centrifuge CR20GIII). The centrifuge tube was gently tilted upside down and left to stand for 3 seconds to remove the supernatant and non-precipitated dietary fiber to obtain hydrated fiber. The mass of the centrifuge tube from which the supernatant liquid etc. had been removed was measured, and the value obtained by subtracting the mass of the empty centrifuge tube from there was defined as the "mass of water-containing fibers." Further, the mass of the dry fiber was calculated using the following formula using the value of loss on drying obtained by measurement with a halogen moisture meter.
Mass of dry fiber (g) = 0.3 x (100 - loss on drying (%)) / 100
Using these values, water retention capacity was calculated using the following formula.
Water retention capacity (g/g) = (mass of hydrated fiber - mass of dry fiber) / mass of dry fiber

[評価結果の概要]
・表2~9及び図2に示すように、比較例1、6、9、12、15、18、21の造形不可であったインク(食材)に保水力が自重の15倍以上の食物繊維を添加するだけで、所望の成形性及び保形性を有する三次元造形食品を製造できることがわかる。特に、保形性の付与がより困難な中空構造であっても、当該食物繊維を添加するだけで(すなわち簡便な方法で)所望の成形性及び保形性を付与できたことは、非常に有利なことと考えられる。
・比較例9(ほうれん草ペースト)を用いた製造では、初めに水分のみがノズル部から絞りだされた後、残った食材由来の繊維等の微細な固形物がノズル部を閉塞させ、ほとんど吐出することができなかった。また、α化デンプンを添加した場合には、食材によってはダマが生じて吐出性を悪化させた。一方、保水力が自重の15倍以上の食物繊維を添加した場合には、インク中での固形物の分散性が向上し、また、ダマの形成も認められず、ノズル部を閉塞させることはなかった。
・上記以外の評価として、食感に関し、シトラス由来の食物繊維を添加した場合(圧力ホモジナイザーによる処理無し)、添加量が多いと若干ざらつきを感じさせたが、同程度の添加量のものを圧力ホモジナイザーで処理した場合には、滑らかな食感への改善が認められた。よって、所望の成形性及び保形性を付与しつつ、良好な食感を得るためには、インク中の添加剤としての食物繊維の含有割合は、当該食物繊維を4質量%以下とするか、又は圧力ホモジナイザーで処理された食物繊維を用いることが好ましいと考えられる。一方、α化デンプンを添加した場合には、粘り気の強い食感となった。
・増粘剤(例えばXG)やゲル化剤(例えばLAG)は、単独で添加した場合には比較例2、3より所望の成形性および造形性を付与できない場合があるが、これらを保水力が自重の15倍以上の食物繊維と併用で添加することで吐出性、成形性及び保形性に優れた三次元造形食品を製造することができた。また、当該食物繊維に増粘剤やゲル化剤を併用することで物性が向上する場合もある。具体的には、増粘剤を併用した場合には、吐出性の改善が認められるとともに、三次元造形食品に艶を付与できることがわかった。また、ゲル化剤を併用した場合には、当該食物繊維の添加量を減らしても所望の保形性を付与でき、且つべたつきのある食材においては、そのべたつきやねばつき等を抑えて食感を改善できることがわかった。
[Summary of evaluation results]
・As shown in Tables 2 to 9 and Figure 2, the inks (ingredients) that were unable to be molded in Comparative Examples 1, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, and 21 contained dietary fibers with a water retention capacity of 15 times or more its own weight. It can be seen that a three-dimensionally shaped food having desired moldability and shape-retaining properties can be produced by simply adding . In particular, it is extremely impressive that even in hollow structures where it is more difficult to impart shape retention, the desired formability and shape retention could be imparted simply by adding the dietary fiber (in other words, by a simple method). This is considered to be advantageous.
・In production using Comparative Example 9 (spinach paste), only water is first squeezed out of the nozzle, and then fine solids such as fibers from the remaining ingredients clog the nozzle, resulting in most of the water being ejected. I couldn't. Furthermore, when pregelatinized starch was added, clumps were formed depending on the food material, which worsened the discharge performance. On the other hand, when dietary fiber with a water retention capacity of 15 times or more than its own weight is added, the dispersibility of solids in the ink improves, no lumps are observed, and nozzle clogging occurs. There wasn't.
・As an evaluation other than the above, regarding the texture, when citrus-derived dietary fiber was added (not treated with a pressure homogenizer), a large amount added made it feel a little rough, but when the same amount was added, it felt slightly rough. When processed with a homogenizer, an improvement to smooth texture was observed. Therefore, in order to obtain a good texture while imparting desired moldability and shape retention, the content of dietary fiber as an additive in the ink should be 4% by mass or less. It is considered preferable to use dietary fibers that have been treated with a pressure homogenizer or a pressure homogenizer. On the other hand, when pregelatinized starch was added, the texture became sticky.
・If thickeners (e.g. By adding it in combination with dietary fiber in an amount of 15 times or more its own weight, it was possible to produce a three-dimensionally shaped food with excellent dischargeability, moldability, and shape retention. Further, the physical properties may be improved by using a thickener or a gelling agent in combination with the dietary fiber. Specifically, when a thickener was used in combination, it was found that dispensing properties were improved and gloss could be imparted to the three-dimensionally shaped food. In addition, when a gelling agent is used in combination, the desired shape retention can be imparted even if the amount of dietary fiber added is reduced, and in the case of sticky foods, the stickiness and stickiness can be suppressed to improve the texture. It turns out that it can be improved.
なお、生の鶏胸肉を用いた場合には、喫食時を想定して造形食品Cをスチームコンベクションオーブンで85℃10分加熱したところ、保水力が自重の15倍以上の食物繊維を添加した場合、加熱後においても三次元造形食品の形状が維持されていた。また、加水を行ったにもかかわらず肉様の繊維感と弾力が付与されており、好ましい食感であった。さらに離水が抑制されており、それによって、歩留まりの向上が期待できる。 In addition, when raw chicken breast was used, when shaped food C was heated in a steam convection oven at 85°C for 10 minutes assuming that it would be eaten, dietary fiber with a water retention capacity of more than 15 times its own weight was added. In this case, the shape of the three-dimensionally shaped food was maintained even after heating. Furthermore, despite the addition of water, it had a meat-like fibrous feel and elasticity, and had a desirable texture. Furthermore, syneresis is suppressed, and as a result, an improvement in yield can be expected.
表2~表9の結果によれば、試験に用いた全ての食材において、保水力が自重の15倍以上の食物繊維を添加することによって、所望の成形性及び保形性を三次元造形食品に付与できることを把握することができる。一方、他の添加剤では、食材によっては、所望の成形性及び保形性を付与できない場合があることを把握することができる。この結果から、保水力が自重の15倍以上の食物繊維は、食材の構成要素による影響を受けにくく、より多くの食材を三次元造形食品に適用させ得るものと考えられる。 According to the results in Tables 2 to 9, for all the ingredients used in the test, adding dietary fiber with a water retention capacity of 15 times or more than its own weight can improve the desired formability and shape retention of three-dimensionally shaped foods. It is possible to understand what can be added to. On the other hand, it can be understood that other additives may not be able to provide desired moldability and shape retention depending on the food material. From this result, it is considered that dietary fibers with a water retention capacity of 15 times or more of their own weight are less affected by the constituent elements of foodstuffs, and can be applied to more foodstuffs in three-dimensionally shaped foods.
