As a gelling means for improving these drawbacks, salts are added by preparing a whey protein solution by a heat treatment so that it does not coagulate and then heating it to bring the whey protein into a certain denatured state. Which causes gelation (JP-A-5-64550) and those which cause gelation by addition of an acid (JP-A-2-24067).
And Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 3-280834 and Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 3-2.
It is possible to make an irreversible gel-like structured material other than the heat-treated gel, and the obtained gelled material is different from the above-mentioned heat-treated gel in that it has good water retention, smoothness and transparency. It has an excellent structure. The heating as a pretreatment in these methods other than the method for producing a heat-treated gelled product can be performed by stirring and heating, so that it is efficient and has the advantage that the whole can be uniformly heated even in the case of mass production.

However, after that, it is necessary to add a salt for gelling, to lower the pH by adding an acid, or to freeze the whole, which is an obstacle to a large amount of treatment. That is, in the method of adding a salt and gelling, it is necessary to control the salt amount in consideration of the salt amount in the whey protein originally contained, and it takes time to dissolve the salt. There is a question. Further, in the method of adding an acid to gel, there are problems that the action of the acid is slow, it takes a long time to gel the whey protein, and the pH must be controlled accurately. Further, when salts or acids are added to form a gel, there is a drawback that the flavor of food is changed or deteriorated by these components. On the other hand, in the case of performing gelation by freezing treatment, in the case of industrial production, it takes time to freeze or re-thaw the whole, which requires equipment and energy costs, which is a practical problem.

In the present invention, the above heat-treated whey protein-containing solution or an emulsion of the solution and fats and oils is decomposed with a protein hydrolase before or after mixing with a food material and gelled in the food material. A method for producing a processed food using whey protein, which is characterized in that When the solution is decomposed by an enzyme, a gelation reaction is started. Therefore, the solution, the enzyme and the food material are mixed, or the food material impregnated with the enzyme solution in advance is immersed in the solution, or the solution is injected. By injecting into the food,
Alternatively, the solution can be gelled and integrated in the food material by incorporating the enzyme into the solution and mixing with the food material before gelation occurs. Since such an enzyme also affects the protein of the food material and can soften the tissue and the like of the protein, it is possible to improve the texture of the food and to cause gelation. Further, by using the whey protein-containing solution as an emulsion, the obtained gelled product can have a more smooth texture and a creamy texture.

The reason (action) of causing gelation by the above method can be explained as follows.
It is generally considered that gelation is caused by intermolecular interactions such as hydrophobic bond, hydrogen bond, ionic bond, etc., in which the structure of the protein is changed by a treatment such as heating and as a result increases. When the whey protein solution is heated at a protein concentration that does not coagulate by heating, a certain denaturation state occurs and, at the same time, hydrophobic bonds also increase. As a result, protein molecules associate with each other to form soluble aggregates. Although gelation does not occur at this stage, limited hydrolysis of this soluble aggregate with a protein hydrolase exposes the internal hydrophobic region to the outside, causing an increase in hydrophobic binding. As a result, the soluble aggregates form a three-dimensional network structure, resulting in an irreversible gel. Although gelation is promoted or suppressed by complex entanglement of various factors, the main factors that promote gelation of the enzyme-treated whey protein-containing solution in the present invention are protein concentration, temperature, and reaction time. And the amount and type of enzyme to be added.

The whey protein in the present invention is prepared from milk, and mainly contains lactalbumin and lactoglobulin. The cheese whey protein obtained at the time of cheese production and the casein obtained by adding acid to milk. It is possible to use acid whey protein from which whey has been removed, or whey protein that has been desalted to remove minerals and lactose, or whey protein that has been separated and precipitated to recover only the protein fraction. As the whey protein-containing solution used in the present invention, any available whey protein-containing solution obtained in the process of producing casein, cheese or the like may be used. Preferably, whey protein concentrate (WPC) or whey protein isolate (WP
I) etc. can be mentioned. This is because WPC and WPI have a relatively small amount of ash, and by using them, a gel having excellent transparency and elasticity can be formed. The whey protein concentration in the solution is not particularly limited as long as it does not cause heat coagulation. The concentration may change depending on factors such as pressure, salt concentration, pH, etc., but it must be at least 20% or less, and if it exceeds this, thermal coagulation tends to occur regardless of other factors. Preferably, the whey protein is contained in an amount of 0.5 to 10%, the degree of gelation is small at a concentration lower than 0.5%, and the viscosity increases during the heat treatment if the concentration exceeds 10%. However, some or all of them may gel when heated, which is not suitable for handling. A more preferable range is about 7.0 to 8.0%.

The pH of the whey protein-containing solution is preferably in the neutral range of 6 to 8. If the pH is less than 6, the protein may be aggregated and precipitated during the heat treatment, and it may be difficult to form a smooth gel. If the pH exceeds 8, the flavor becomes poor.
The salt ion in the whey protein-containing solution is preferably 0.5% or less, and more preferably 0.01 to 0.3%. If the salt ion concentration is too high, the whey protein aggregates and precipitates during the heat treatment. Or gelation may occur. The salt ion concentration can be conveniently regarded as the ash content of the solution, and it can be considered that the salt ion concentration of 0.5% or less corresponds to the ash content of 1.0% or less. If necessary, the amount of ash can be adjusted in advance by ultrafiltration, electrodialysis, or the like.

The heat treatment temperature for pretreatment of the whey protein-containing solution is usually 60 to 95 ° C., preferably 80 to 9
If the temperature is about 0 ° C. and the temperature is too low, the hydrophobic bonds of the whey protein molecules are not sufficiently increased, so that soluble aggregates are not formed and gelation does not occur in the subsequent enzyme treatment. Generally, the higher the temperature is, the more the protein molecules are denatured and the more easily gelation occurs. The heat treatment time is usually 5 minutes to 1 hour, and if it is too long, there is no particular problem, but the effect is not improved. The heat-treated whey protein-containing solution is cooled in order to be subjected to the next enzyme treatment.

The enzyme used in the enzyme treatment is a protein hydrolase, and any enzyme derived from animals, plants and microorganisms can be used without particular limitation.
Specifically, trypsin, chymotrypsin, pepsin,
Examples include papain, chymopapain, collagenase, kallikrein, metalloendopeptidase, actinase, pronase, proteinases A and K, various aminopeptidases, plasmin, acrosin, elastase, cathepsin, ficin, bromelain, chymosin and the like. The protease activity is preferably 1000 U /
It is preferably g or more. Among the above, papain, etc.
Since they have a function of softening fish meat, whey protein can be gelated and meat can be softened by using these enzymes, so that a tender meat / processed fish food can be produced. . Although gelation is possible with only one of the above-mentioned enzymes, further gelation reaction is caused by enzyme treatment with a combination of two or more different enzymes, for example, trypsin and proteinase, pronase and actinase or proteinase A and papain. However, it is effective because it gives a rapid and strong gel. The amount of enzyme added is usually 0.00 based on the amount of protein in the whey protein-containing solution.
It is about 1 to 2.0% by weight (adjusted according to the specific activity and whey protein amount, etc.), preferably about 0.01 to 1.0% by weight. If the amount added is small, the rate at which the whey protein undergoes degradation will be slow, so gelation can be delayed, and conversely, if the amount of enzyme added is large, it will gel rapidly, so it will take time to gel. However, the above range is a practical range because the flavor is affected if the amount of enzyme is too large. Also, when gelled rapidly, the gel tends to become hard,
The physical properties of the gel can also be controlled.

The reaction temperature of the enzyme treatment is preferably 15 to 60 ° C. A temperature lower than 15 ° C is not preferable because the enzymatic reaction does not proceed so much and the gel formation is delayed.
Also, it should be avoided at a temperature higher than 60 ° C. because most of the enzyme is deactivated and whey protein aggregates due to heating. However, the above reaction temperature does not always have to be constant, and may be changed stepwise or gradually. For example, the reaction temperature may be initially relatively high at room temperature and may be gradually cooled. The enzymatic reaction time is adjusted depending on the type and amount of the added enzyme and the desired gel properties. Usually, the gel is formed in about 10 minutes to 18 hours, and the gel is completely formed in about 30 minutes to 12 hours, but the time required for gelation varies depending on other gelation conditions. That is, the amount of enzyme to be added, the reaction time and the reaction temperature can be used to control the time until gelation and the properties of the gel. The gelling step is usually performed in a stationary state.

When the gelling reaction is completed, the gelled product obtained is heat-treated in order to inactivate the enzyme used. Since the gel has heat resistance, it does not deteriorate even when subjected to enzyme deactivation treatment. When the enzyme is not inactivated or the enzyme is not sufficiently inactivated, proteolysis proceeds, resulting in a bitter taste in the gel. As the degradation proceeds, peptides and amino acids are produced, and the gel dissolves. The enzyme deactivation treatment is performed at a temperature of 65 to 120 ° C. for 5
The heat treatment may be for about 60 minutes.

In order to utilize the enzyme-treated gel of the present invention in foods, the heat-treated whey protein-containing solution may be finally decomposed with an enzyme, and the decomposition method is not particularly limited. For example, by mixing a heat-treated whey protein-containing solution, an enzyme and a food material, the solution is decomposed by the enzyme to gel, or the heat-treated whey protein-containing solution is impregnated with an enzyme solution. By bringing the food material into contact with the food material by immersion or injection and decomposing it into a gel, a food integrated with the gel can be produced. The former is for directly mixing and decomposing, and the latter is for gradually contacting and decomposing by diffusion or the like, but is not limited thereto. Further, instead of the heat-treated whey protein-containing solution, an oil-in-water type or water-in-oil type emulsion can be used with the solution and fats and oils, and by using the emulsion, smoother and creamy feeling can be obtained. It can be a gelled product. Since the enzyme-treated gel has heat resistance, freeze resistance, etc., and has good flavor, water retention, smoothness, etc., it can be used for various foods.
For example, foods such as cheese, tofu, kamaboko, ham, sausage, hamburger, fried chicken, nuggets, meat products softened by enzymes, etc., binding agents, bulking agents, water separating agents, fat substitutes, etc. Other available as
The gelled product itself can be used as a food product.
