Description

本発明は、麺皮類用生地、それを用いた麺皮類の製造方法、春巻皮の製造方法、及び春巻の製造方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a dough for noodle wrappers, a method for producing noodle wrappers using the same, a method for producing spring roll wrappers, and a method for producing spring rolls.

春巻皮等の麺皮類の食感を改善する観点から、麺皮類の配合やその製造方法について種々の検討がされている。例えば、特許文献1には、春巻皮の原料に油脂を所定量用いることが記載されており、特許文献2には、融点が60~80度の高融点油脂を所定量用いることが記載されている。また、特許文献3には、春巻皮の生地に重合度2~50の糖類及び/又は重合度2~50の還元糖類を用いることが記載されている。さらに、本出願人は先に、春巻皮用生地のpHを2段階で調整する工程を含む春巻皮の製造方法を提案している(特許文献4)。 In order to improve the texture of noodle skins such as spring roll skins, various studies have been conducted on the composition of noodle skins and their manufacturing methods. For example, Patent Document 1 describes the use of a predetermined amount of fats and oils as the raw material for spring roll skins, and Patent Document 2 describes the use of a predetermined amount of high-melting point fats and oils with a melting point of 60 to 80 degrees. Furthermore, Patent Document 3 describes the use of sugars with a polymerization degree of 2 to 50 and/or reducing sugars with a polymerization degree of 2 to 50 in the dough for spring roll skins. Furthermore, the applicant has previously proposed a manufacturing method for spring roll skins that includes a process of adjusting the pH of the dough for spring roll skins in two stages (Patent Document 4).

一方、麺や麺皮類の原料に、デュラム小麦粉を用いることが知られている。例えば、特許文献5には、麺皮類の原料としてデュラム小麦粉を配合することが記載されている。特許文献5によれば、粘弾性やモチモチとした食感を有する麺や麺皮類が得られる。 On the other hand, it is known to use durum wheat flour as a raw material for noodles and noodle skins. For example, Patent Document 5 describes blending durum wheat flour as a raw material for noodle skins. According to Patent Document 5, noodles and noodle skins with viscoelasticity and a chewy texture can be obtained.

春巻皮等の麺皮類は、加熱調理直後は、パリパリとした食感を呈するが、加熱調理後に放置しておくと、食感にゴム様のヒキが生じ、パリパリとした食感が低下するという問題があった。特に、スーパーマーケット等の店舗で販売される持ち帰り用惣菜に用いられる麺皮類は、喫食されるまでに時間を要するので、食感の経時劣化が少ないことが望ましい。 Noodle skins such as spring roll skins have a crispy texture immediately after cooking, but if left unattended after cooking, the texture becomes rubbery and the crispy texture decreases. There was a problem. In particular, noodle wrappers used in take-out side dishes sold at stores such as supermarkets take time to be eaten, so it is desirable that their texture deteriorates little over time.

また本発明は、穀粉類100質量部に対し、融点が40~80℃である油脂が5~20質量部、及び糖組成物が5~20質量部配合された生地を調製する工程を有し、前記糖組成物の固形分の糖組成において、4糖以上が50%以上である、麺皮類の製造方法を提供するものである。 The present invention also includes a step of preparing a dough in which 5 to 20 parts by mass of fats and oils having a melting point of 40 to 80°C and 5 to 20 parts by mass of a sugar composition are blended with 100 parts by mass of flour. The present invention provides a method for producing noodle wrappers, wherein the sugar composition of the solid content of the sugar composition is 50% or more of 4 or more sugars.

また本発明は、前記麺皮類の製造方法を用いて、春巻皮を製造する、春巻皮の製造方法を提供するものである。 The present invention also provides a method for producing spring roll wrappers, which uses the method for producing noodle wrappers to produce spring roll wrappers.

また本発明は、前記春巻皮を用いる、春巻の製造方法を提供するものである。 The present invention also provides a method for producing spring rolls using the spring roll wrapper.

本発明によれば、加熱調理後に時間が経過しても、経時的な食感低下が抑制され、ヒキが無く且つパリパリとした良好な食感を呈する麺皮類を提供できる。 According to the present invention, it is possible to provide noodle wrappers that are prevented from deteriorating in texture over time even after heating and have a good crispy texture without cracking.

本発明の麺皮類用生地は、穀粉類が配合されている。「穀粉類」とは、穀粉及び澱粉の総称であり、一般的な麺皮類の主原料として通常用いられる穀粉類を特に制限なく用いることができる。穀粉としては例えば、薄力粉、中力粉、強力粉、デュラム小麦粉、全粒粉、ふすま等の小麦粉の他、そば粉、米粉、コーンフラワー、大麦粉、ライ麦粉、はとむぎ粉、ひえ粉、あわ粉等が挙げられる。澱粉としては例えば、タピオカ澱粉、馬鈴薯澱粉、コーンスターチ、ワキシーコーンスターチ、小麦澱粉、米澱粉;前記各種澱粉にα化、エーテル化、エステル化、アセチル化、架橋処理、酸化処理等の処理を施した加工澱粉が挙げられる。本発明では、これらの穀粉類の1種を単独で又は2種以上を組み合わせて用いることができる。穀粉類は、生地原料の主体を成すものであり、通常、全生地原料の80質量%以上を占める。 The dough for noodle wrappers of the present invention contains flour. "Grain flour" is a general term for grain flour and starch, and any flour that is commonly used as the main raw material for general noodle skins can be used without particular restriction. Examples of grain flours include flours such as soft flour, medium flour, strong flour, durum flour, whole wheat flour, and wheat bran, as well as buckwheat flour, rice flour, corn flour, barley flour, rye flour, beet flour, millet flour, and millet flour. It will be done. Examples of starch include tapioca starch, potato starch, corn starch, waxy corn starch, wheat starch, and rice starch; processing of the various starches mentioned above through gelatinization, etherification, esterification, acetylation, crosslinking treatment, oxidation treatment, etc. Examples include starch. In the present invention, one type of these flours can be used alone or in combination of two or more types. Grain flour is the main ingredient of dough raw materials, and usually accounts for 80% by mass or more of the total dough raw materials.

後述するパリパリ感をより持続させる観点から、本発明の麺皮類用生地は、穀粉類としてデュラム小麦粉が配合されていることが好ましい。デュラム小麦粉の配合量は、生地調製に用いる穀粉類100質量部に対して、好ましくは5質量部以上、より好ましくは25質量部以上、さらに好ましくは40質量部以上であり、また好ましくは95質量部以下、より好ましくは75質量部以下、さらに好ましくは60質量部以下である。 From the viewpoint of maintaining the crispness described below, it is preferable that the dough for noodle skins of the present invention contains durum wheat flour as the cereal flour. The amount of durum wheat flour contained is preferably 5 parts by mass or more, more preferably 25 parts by mass or more, and even more preferably 40 parts by mass or more, and is preferably 95 parts by mass or less, more preferably 75 parts by mass or less, and even more preferably 60 parts by mass or less, per 100 parts by mass of the cereal flour used in preparing the dough.

本発明の麺皮類用生地は、融点が40~80℃である油脂が配合されている。前記油脂は常温(25℃)で固体の油脂であり、該油脂の融点は、好ましくは40~80℃、より好ましくは50~70℃である。油脂の融点が40℃未満であると、良好なパリパリ感が得られない虞があり、油脂の融点が80℃超であると、喫食時に異物感を感じたりする虞がある。油脂の融点は、例えば、「日本油化学会制定 基準油脂分析試験法 2.2.4.2(1996)1996年版」に準じて測定することができる。 The dough for noodle skins of the present invention contains fats and oils with a melting point of 40 to 80°C. The fats and oils are solid at room temperature (25°C), and the melting point of the fats and oils is preferably 40 to 80°C, more preferably 50 to 70°C. If the melting point of the fats and oils is less than 40°C, there is a risk that a good crispy texture will not be obtained, and if the melting point of the fats and oils is more than 80°C, there is a risk that a foreign body sensation will be felt when eating. The melting point of the fats and oils can be measured, for example, in accordance with "Standard Methods for Analysis of Fats, Oils, and Oils 2.2.4.2 (1996) 1996 Edition, Established by the Japan Oil Chemists' Society."

前記油脂としては、食用に使用可能なものを特に制限なく使用することができる。前記油脂としては、例えば、パーム油、硬化パーム油、パーム核油、ヤシ油、コーン油、オリーブ油、綿実油、大豆油、菜種油、米油、ヒマワリ油、サフラワー油、カカオバター、シア脂、マンゴー核油、サル脂、イリッペ脂等の植物油脂;牛脂、乳脂、豚脂、魚油、鯨油、等の動物油脂;各種動植物油脂に水素添加、分別、エステル交換などの処理を施した加工油脂等が挙げられ、これらの1種を単独で又は2種以上を組み合わせて用いることができる。これら油脂の中でも、特に、パーム油、硬化パーム油、菜種油、大豆油、豚脂及びその加工油脂は、後述する効果に特に優れる点で好ましい。 As the fats and oils, any edible fats and oils can be used without particular restriction. Examples of the oils and fats include palm oil, hydrogenated palm oil, palm kernel oil, coconut oil, corn oil, olive oil, cottonseed oil, soybean oil, rapeseed oil, rice oil, sunflower oil, safflower oil, cocoa butter, shea butter, and mango oil. Vegetable oils and fats such as kernel oil, monkey fat, and oil fat; Animal fats and fats such as beef tallow, milk fat, lard, fish oil, and whale oil; Processed fats and oils that are processed by hydrogenating, fractionating, and transesterifying various animal and vegetable oils and fats. One type of these can be used alone or two or more types can be used in combination. Among these fats and oils, palm oil, hardened palm oil, rapeseed oil, soybean oil, lard, and processed fats and oils thereof are particularly preferred because they are particularly excellent in the effects described below.

油脂の形態は特に制限されないが、常温(25℃)において粉末状であることが好ましい。粉末状であって、前述した融点を有する油脂としては、例えば、ユニショートK(精製パーム油極度硬化油、融点58℃、不二製油株式会社製)、スプレーファットPM(硬化パーム油、融点59℃、理研ビタミン株式会社製)等が挙げられる。 The form of the oil is not particularly limited, but it is preferably in powder form at room temperature (25°C). Examples of oils and fats in powder form and having the melting point described above include Unishort K (refined palm oil, extremely hardened oil, melting point 58°C, manufactured by Fuji Oil Co., Ltd.) and Spray Fat PM (hardened palm oil, melting point 59°C, manufactured by Riken Vitamin Co., Ltd.).

本発明の麺皮類用生地は、穀粉類100質量部に対し、融点が40~80℃である油脂が5~20質量部配合されている。穀粉類100質量部に対する前記油脂の配合量が5質量部未満では、これを使用する意義に乏しく、逆に前記油脂の配合量が多すぎると、パリパリ感の持続性が低下する虞がある。この点を考慮すると、前記麺皮類用生地における、融点が40~80℃である油脂の配合量は、穀粉類100質量部に対して、好ましくは5~15質量部、より好ましくは5~10質量部である。 The dough for noodle skins of the present invention contains 5 to 20 parts by mass of fats and oils with a melting point of 40 to 80°C per 100 parts by mass of cereal flour. If the amount of fat and oil contained in the dough for noodle skins is less than 5 parts by mass, there is little point in using the fat and oil. Conversely, if the amount of fat and oil contained in the dough for noodle skins is too high, there is a risk that the crispness will not last as long. Taking this into consideration, the amount of fat and oil with a melting point of 40 to 80°C contained in the dough for noodle skins is preferably 5 to 15 parts by mass, more preferably 5 to 10 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of cereal flour.

本発明の麺皮類用生地は、固形分の糖組成において4糖以上が50%以上である糖組成物(以下、「高重合糖組成物」ともいう)が配合されている。「4糖以上」とは、単糖の結合数(重合度)が4以上の糖又は糖アルコールである。前記高重合糖組成物としては、重合度が4以上である糖や糖アルコール等の糖類を含有する組成物を用いることができる。前記高重合糖組成物は、固形分の糖組成において4糖以上が好ましくは55%以上、より好ましくは65%以上である。前記固形分の糖組成は、糖組成物の標準的な糖組成である。
このような高重合糖組成物に含まれる4糖以上の糖としては、マルトテトラオース、マルトペンタオース、マルトヘキサオース、ガラクトオリゴ糖、フラクトオリゴ糖、マンナンオリゴ糖、イソマルトオリゴ糖、キシロオリゴ糖、大豆オリゴ糖、ニゲロオリゴ糖、乳化オリゴ糖等が挙げられる。また、高重合糖組成物に含まれる4糖以上の糖アルコールとしては、マルトテトライトール、マルトペンタイトール、マルトヘキサイトール、イソマルトテトライトール等が挙げられる。また、このような糖や糖アルコール等の糖類を含む高重合糖組成物として、水飴や還元水飴等の還元澱粉加水分解物を用いることができる。高重合糖組成物としては、還元水飴を用いることが好ましい。
また、糖組成物のDE(Dextrose Equivalent)は10~40であることが好ましく、10~35であることがより好ましい。
The dough for noodle skins of the present invention contains a sugar composition (hereinafter also referred to as a "highly polymerized sugar composition") in which 50% or more of the sugar composition of the solid content is 4 or more sugars. "Tetrasaccharides or more" refers to sugars or sugar alcohols in which the number of monosaccharide bonds (degree of polymerization) is 4 or more. As the highly polymerized sugar composition, a composition containing sugars such as sugars and sugar alcohols having a degree of polymerization of 4 or more can be used. In the solid sugar composition of the highly polymerized sugar composition, 4 or more sugars preferably account for 55% or more, more preferably 65% or more. The sugar composition of the solid content is a standard sugar composition for sugar compositions.
Examples of sugars containing 4 or more sugars contained in such a highly polymerized sugar composition include maltotetraose, maltopentaose, maltohexaose, galactooligosaccharide, fructooligosaccharide, mannan oligosaccharide, isomaltooligosaccharide, xylooligosaccharide, and soybean oligosaccharide. Examples include sugar, nigerooligosaccharide, emulsified oligosaccharide, and the like. Further, examples of the sugar alcohol having four or more sugars contained in the highly polymerized sugar composition include maltotetriitol, maltopentitol, maltohexitol, isomaltotetritol, and the like. Further, as a highly polymerized sugar composition containing sugars such as sugars and sugar alcohols, reduced starch hydrolysates such as starch syrup and reduced starch syrup can be used. As the highly polymerized sugar composition, it is preferable to use reduced starch syrup.
Further, the DE (Dextrose Equivalent) of the sugar composition is preferably 10 to 40, more preferably 10 to 35.

本発明の麺皮類用生地は、穀粉類100質量部に対し、前記高重合糖組成物が5~20質量部配合されている。穀粉類100質量部に対する前記糖組成物の配合量が5質量部未満では、これを使用する意義に乏しく、逆に前記糖組成物の配合量が多すぎると、パリパリ感の持続性が低下する虞がある。また、前記高重合糖組成物を上述した範囲で配合すると、生地のpHがアルカリ側に傾いた場合に、これに起因するえぐ味を抑制することができる。この点を考慮すると、前記麺皮類用生地における、前記糖組成物の配合量は、穀粉類100質量部に対して、好ましくは10~20質量部、より好ましくは15~20質量部である。 The dough for noodle wrappers of the present invention contains 5 to 20 parts by mass of the highly polymerized sugar composition per 100 parts by mass of flour. If the amount of the sugar composition blended is less than 5 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of flour, there is little significance in using it, and conversely, if the amount of the sugar composition blended is too large, the sustainability of the crispy feeling will decrease. There is a possibility. Furthermore, when the highly polymerized sugar composition is blended within the above-mentioned range, it is possible to suppress the harsh taste caused by the pH of the dough leaning toward the alkaline side. Considering this point, the amount of the sugar composition blended in the dough for noodle wrappers is preferably 10 to 20 parts by mass, more preferably 15 to 20 parts by mass, based on 100 parts by mass of flour. .

本発明の麺皮類用生地は、上述した高重合糖組成物以外に、他の糖類や他の糖組成物が配合されていてもよい。他の糖類としては、重合度が3以下である糖や糖アルコール等の低重合糖類が挙げられ、他の糖組成物としては、該低重合糖類を含む組成物が挙げられる。
本発明の麺皮類用生地に、他の糖類及び他の糖組成物の一方又は双方を配合する場合、当該麺皮類用生地に使用される全糖組成物の合計質量を100%としたとき、他の糖組成物の合計使用量は、50%未満であることが好ましい。
The dough for noodle skins of the present invention may contain other sugars and other sugar compositions in addition to the above-mentioned highly polymerized sugar composition. Other saccharides include low polymerization saccharides such as sugars and sugar alcohols having a degree of polymerization of 3 or less, and other sugar compositions include compositions containing the low polymerization saccharides.
When one or both of other saccharides and other sugar compositions are blended into the dough for noodle skins of the present invention, the total mass of all the sugar compositions used in the dough for noodle skins is taken as 100%. In this case, the total amount of other sugar compositions used is preferably less than 50%.

本発明の麺皮類用生地は、餃子、焼売、春巻、ワンタンの皮等の麺皮類に好適に用いることができ、特に春巻皮に好適に用いることができる。前記麺皮類用生地は、上述した範囲の配合量で、融点が40~80℃である油脂、及び高重合糖組成物が配合されている。斯かる構成により、前記麺皮類用生地を用いて得られた麺皮類によれば、加熱調理後に時間が経過しても、経時的な食感の低下が抑制され、ヒキが無く且つパリパリとした良好な食感が得られる。このような効果は、所定の融点を有する油脂と、所定の重合度を有する糖類とを、それぞれ所定の範囲で組み合わせて含有することによって奏される。例えば、油脂の融点、糖類の重合度、並びに油脂及び糖類の各配合量について、上述した範囲を外れると、ヒキの無さと、良好なパリパリ感とを両立することができなくなる。 The dough for noodle wrappers of the present invention can be suitably used for noodle wrappers such as gyoza, shumai, spring rolls, and wonton wrappers, and can be particularly suitably used for spring roll wrappers. The dough for noodle wrappers contains oil and fat having a melting point of 40 to 80° C. and a highly polymerized sugar composition in the above-mentioned range. With such a configuration, the noodle skins obtained using the dough for noodle skins are prevented from deteriorating in texture over time even after time has passed after cooking, and are free from cracking and crispy. A good texture can be obtained. Such effects can be achieved by containing a combination of fats and oils having a predetermined melting point and saccharides having a predetermined degree of polymerization within a predetermined range. For example, if the melting point of the fat, the degree of polymerization of the saccharide, and the amounts of each of the fats and oils and saccharides are outside the above-mentioned ranges, it will not be possible to achieve both the absence of cracking and a good crispiness.

本発明においては、麺皮類用生地の原料として、穀粉類(主原料)や上述した油脂及び糖組成物に加え、必要に応じ、副原料を用いることができる。副原料としては、麺皮類の製造に通常用いられるもので、且つ本発明の効果を損なわないものを特に制限なく用いることができる。例えば、卵白、卵黄、乳類、小麦蛋白、色素、増粘多糖類(ローカストビーンガム、ジェランガム、グアーガム、キサンタンガム、カラギーナン等)、アミノ酸(アラニン、グリシン、リジン等)、食塩、乳化剤等が挙げられ、これらの1種を単独で又は2種以上を組み合わせて用いることができる。 In the present invention, in addition to the grain flour (main ingredient) and the above-mentioned oil and sugar composition, auxiliary ingredients can be used as necessary as raw materials for the dough for noodle skins. As auxiliary ingredients, any ingredient that is normally used in the production of noodle skins and does not impair the effects of the present invention can be used without particular limitation. Examples include egg white, egg yolk, dairy products, wheat protein, coloring, thickening polysaccharides (locust bean gum, gellan gum, guar gum, xanthan gum, carrageenan, etc.), amino acids (alanine, glycine, lysine, etc.), salt, emulsifiers, etc., and these can be used alone or in combination of two or more.

麺皮類用生地における水の配合量(加水量)は、特に制限されず、麺皮類用生地の粘度等に応じて適宜調整することができる。 The amount of water to be added to the dough for noodle skins (amount of water added) is not particularly limited and can be adjusted as appropriate depending on the viscosity of the dough for noodle skins, etc.

本発明の麺皮類の製造方法は、穀粉類100質量部に対し、融点が40~80℃である油脂が5~20質量部、及び高重合糖組成物が5~20質量部配合された生地、即ち本発明の麺皮類用生地を調製する工程を有する。この工程を以下、生地調製工程ともいう。
