Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a fish oil with reduced odor and a high content of a highly unsatd. fatty acid. CONSTITUTION:This fish oil with reduced odor is obtd. by slightly hydrogenating a fish oil in such a manner that the decrease in iodine value is 15% or lower and the decrease in content of a highly unsatd. fatty acid (e.g. docosahexaenoic or eicosapentaenoic acid) to 33% or lower. Thus treated fish oil, still contg. a high amt. of the unsatd. acid. is useful as a material for both general and medical foods.

Fats and oils are fatty acids 3 in the glycerol skeleton.
The molecule has an ester-bonded structure, and its properties and role in the living body are greatly influenced by the type and combination of fatty acids. Of these fatty acids, many of the polyunsaturated fatty acids have useful physiological functions in vivo for themselves or their metabolites. For example, deficiency of linoleic acid or α-linolenic acid causes symptoms such as skin abnormalities, decrease in tissue regeneration power, and increased susceptibility to disease infection, and these fatty acids are not synthesized in vivo and are ingested from the diet. It is considered an essential fatty acid because it must be present.

Although scent is one of the important factors as a food material, fish oil has a specific odor (fish odor), and its use as a food material is limited. Current,
Attempts have been made to remove fishy odor by adsorption on activated carbon or activated clay, or by molecular distillation or steam distillation. However, when deodorized fish oil or foods containing this fish oil is stored, fish odor is generated. These fish odors are generated by oxidative deterioration of highly unsaturated fatty acids such as docosahexaenoic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid. It has been reported to be a ketone such as octadienone [Karahadian and Lin.

On the other hand, hydrogenation of oils and fats (hereinafter abbreviated as hydrogenation) is a typical technique related to the production of processed oils and fats, along with transesterification and fractionation, and hydrogenated oils obtained by hydrogenation are fractionated oils. It is also a useful processed fat and oil, and plays an important role in producing fat and oil foods. Generally, hydrogenation is performed by stirring liquid oils and fats in the presence of a catalyst under a hydrogen atmosphere at a reaction temperature of 120 to 200 ° C. At this time, the hydrogen pressure is from normal pressure to about 5 kg / cm 2 , and a nickel catalyst such as reduced nickel, nickel formate, Raney nickel or nickel boride is often used as the catalyst. By this hydrogenation, the carbon-carbon double bond in the fatty acid that constitutes the fat is hydrogenated. Here, the characteristics of the hydrogenated oil obtained by hydrogenation are listed below. (1) The melting point of the oil / fat is increased, and the oil / fat can be used as a plastic oil / fat. (2) Double bonds (unsaturated bonds) are reduced, and the oxidative stability of fats and oils is improved. (3) By selective hydrogenation, the solid fat content (SFC) has a sharp vertical curve with respect to temperature, and by mixing with other fats and oils and fractionation, chocolate, margarine,
It becomes an oil and fat with good suitability for foods such as shortening.

[0009] Conventionally, hydrogenation of fish oil into hardened fish oil has been carried out to improve the oxidative stability and suppress the generation of fish odor. The conventional method for utilizing fish oil as a food material. Has become. As a food material, it is said that hardened fish oil having a melting point of 20 to 45 ° C., preferably 35 ° C. or higher is easy to use [Fat and Oil Handbook, supervised by Yoshiro Abe, Shoshobo]. However, highly unsaturated fatty acids such as docosahexaenoic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid contained in fish oil are reduced and disappear by hydrogenation of fish oil. Therefore, currently available hydrogenated fish oils do not contain, or only very little remain, highly unsaturated fatty acids such as docosahexaenoic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid. Then, while leaving a considerable amount of highly unsaturated fatty acids such as docosahexaenoic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid, no attempt has been made to prepare a sensory fish oil by suppressing the generation of fish odor by hydrogenation. It is in the present condition.

Incidentally, in the present invention, it is also possible to microhydrogenate these fish oils as they are, but if complex lipids and proteins typified by phospholipids are mixed in the fish oil, they poison the catalyst used for microhydrogenation and have catalytic activity. To lower the progress of fine hydrogenation,
It is desirable that the fish oil to be subjected to slight hydrogenation be purified as much as possible.

Up to a predetermined reaction temperature. Then, after reaching a predetermined reaction temperature, hydrogen gas is supplied to the reaction vessel to start fine hydrogenation. At this time, it is desirable to set the gas phase hydrogen pressure in the reaction vessel to 3 kg / cm 2 or more. Further, it is desirable to maintain this hydrogen pressure even during slight hydrogenation. In the present invention, the reaction temperature for non-selectively advancing the fine hydrogenation is preferably maintained at a temperature not lower than the temperature at which the catalyst exhibits its activity, and as low as possible.

After that, the slightly hydrogenated fish oil is taken out from the reaction vessel. At this time, it is particularly desirable to cool the fish oil to 20 ° C. or lower in order to avoid oxidative deterioration of the slightly hydrogenated fish oil. In this way, an adsorbent such as activated clay is added to the slightly hydrogenated fish oil taken out of the reaction vessel and stirred. The adsorbent is
It is used in a proportion of 1 to 5% by weight with respect to fish oil, but is not limited to this range. As the adsorbent, diatomaceous earth can be used in addition to activated clay, or silica gel, florisil, or the like can be mixed with activated clay or diatomaceous earth. Then, filtration is performed using a filter press or the like to remove the catalyst and the adsorbent, and to collect the slightly hydrogenated fish oil. Furthermore, this slightly hydrogenated fish oil can be subjected to a deodorizing operation such as steam distillation, if necessary. The slightly hydrogenated fish oil with reduced fish odor should be stored in a refrigerator after adding an antioxidant and blowing an inert gas.

The fish odor component and the precursor of the fish odor component are reduced, isomerized or decomposed by the above-mentioned slight hydrogenation operation,
It is converted into a chemical component that does not generate fishy odor. Therefore,
The slightly hydrogenated fish oil of the present invention has no fish odor and suppresses the generation of fish odor during storage. In addition, the slightly hydrogenated fish oil of the present invention has little loss of polyunsaturated fatty acids such as docosahexaenoic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid, and a slight decrease in iodine value and a slight increase in melting point. That is, in the obtained slightly hydrogenated fish oil, the reduction rate of the iodine value from the raw material fish oil may be within 15%, but the effect of reducing the fish odor of the present invention is effectively exhibited, and docosahexaenoic acid is also effective. To suppress the loss of highly unsaturated fatty acids such as and eicosapentaenoic acid,
Particularly preferred is a reduction in iodine value in the range of 5-10%.
