Description

耐吸湿固結性が改善された固形状調味料Solid seasoning with improved moisture absorption and consolidation
 本発明は、保存中の耐吸湿固結性が改善された固形状調味料に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a solid seasoning with improved moisture absorption and consolidation during storage.
 粉末状、顆粒状、キューブ状等の固形状調味料は、一般家庭および食品業界において広く使用されており、その利便性により各種料理に幅広く利用され現在の食生活に欠かせないものになっている。
 固形状調味料は、主として、1食分もしくは1回の使用量が個包装された状態、または、複数食分もしくは複数回の使用量が一つに包装され、もしくは一つの容器に充填された状態で提供されている。特に、後者の固形状調味料は、使用量の調整が容易で、微妙な調味に便利であることから、その需要が高まっている。
Solid seasonings such as powder, granules, and cubes are widely used in general households and the food industry. Due to their convenience, they are widely used in various dishes and become indispensable for the current diet. Yes.
The solid seasoning is mainly in a state where one serving or one use amount is individually packaged, or a plurality of servings or multiple use amounts are packaged into one, or filled in one container. Is provided. In particular, the latter solid seasoning is easy to adjust the amount of use, and is convenient for delicate seasoning, so that its demand is increasing.
 このような固形状調味料において、特に複数食分もしくは複数回の使用量が一つに包装され、もしくは一つの容器に充填されているものについては、包装体または容器を開封し、固形状調味料を取り出して使用した後、包装体または容器を密封し、そのまま残りの固形状調味料を保存するということが繰り返されている。一度包装体または容器を開封した後に固形状調味料を保存する場合、固形状調味料が、空気中に含まれる水分を吸収することで、経時的に吸湿し固結してしまうといった問題が生じていた。包装体または容器の開封を繰り返す度に、固形状調味料は新たな水分を吸収して、その固結が進行し、特に空気と触れ合う面積が大きい粉末状や、顆粒状の調味料については、吸湿が顕著に見られた。 In such a solid seasoning, especially for those in which multiple servings or multiple usages are packaged in one, or filled in one container, the package or container is opened, and the solid seasoning After taking out and using it, it is repeated that a package or a container is sealed and the remaining solid seasoning is preserve | saved as it is. When storing a solid seasoning after opening a package or container once, the solid seasoning absorbs moisture contained in the air, resulting in a problem of moisture absorption and consolidation over time. It was. Each time the package or container is repeatedly opened, the solid seasoning absorbs new moisture, and its consolidation progresses, especially for powdery and granular seasonings that have a large area in contact with air, Moisture absorption was noticeable.
 固形状調味料の吸湿は、その味覚や外観における品質劣化を引き起こすことはもちろんであるが、吸湿後に固形状調味料が固結することで大きな塊が形成される場合があり、その後の固形状調味料の取扱いが困難になるという問題を生じていた。 Moisture absorption of solid seasonings not only causes quality deterioration in the taste and appearance, but a large lump may be formed by solidification of the solid seasonings after moisture absorption. There has been a problem that the seasoning becomes difficult to handle.
 粉末食品組成物、粉体等の吸湿性物質に対し、耐吸湿性を付与すべく、これまでに様々な手法が検討されてきた。例えば、特定の粒子径を有する低水分化した顆粒状澱粉を粉末食品組成物に添加する方法(特許文献1参照)、アルファー化度が70%以上で、水分が12%以下のアルファー化澱粉を食品用粉体と混合する方法(特許文献2参照)、大豆食物繊維等の大豆多糖類を、食品等として用いられる製剤組成物に添加する方法(特許文献3参照)、食塩を食用油脂や脂肪酸モノグリセリドでコーティングする方法(特許文献4参照)、吸湿性成分を含有する含水原料にエタノールを添加して噴霧乾燥する方法(特許文献5参照)等が知られている。
 しかしながら、これらの手法によっては、吸湿性が改善されたとしても吸湿に至る時間が遅くなるだけであり、根本的な吸湿性の改善には至らなかった。またこれらの手法は、呈味に関連せず、通常の調味料には不要である原料を添加する必要があるため、原料コストの上昇を招き、さらに、複雑な製造工程の実施を要する場合には、その工程により製造コストが上昇してしまうといった課題があった。
Various techniques have been studied so far to impart moisture absorption resistance to hygroscopic substances such as powdered food compositions and powders. For example, a method of adding low-moisture granular starch having a specific particle size to a powdered food composition (see Patent Document 1), pregelatinized starch having a degree of pregelatinization of 70% or more and a water content of 12% or less A method of mixing with a powder for food (see Patent Document 2), a method of adding a soybean polysaccharide such as soybean dietary fiber to a pharmaceutical composition used as a food (see Patent Document 3), a salt as an edible fat or fatty acid A method of coating with monoglyceride (see Patent Document 4), a method of adding ethanol to a water-containing raw material containing a hygroscopic component, and spray drying (see Patent Document 5) are known.
However, depending on these methods, even if the hygroscopicity is improved, the time until the moisture absorption is only delayed, and the fundamental hygroscopicity is not improved. In addition, these methods are not related to taste, and it is necessary to add raw materials that are not necessary for normal seasonings, leading to an increase in raw material costs and when complicated manufacturing processes are required. However, there is a problem that the manufacturing cost increases due to the process.
 また、振り出し容器に充填された風味調味料において、糖類の配合量を0~5重量%にすることで、吸湿による固結を抑制する手法(特許文献6参照)が知られている。
 しかしながら、この手法は、全ての糖類についてその使用を厳しく制限するものであり、調味料の呈味に関する組成上のアプローチのみならず、その物性に関する組成上のアプローチ手法をも狭く限定してしまうという課題があった。特に、粉末状の調味料において賦形剤として汎用される乳糖の使用を制限することは、粉末状調味料の製法の自由度や製品安定性等に非常に大きな影響を及ぼし、従来通りに乳糖を賦形剤として使用できる方法が強く求められていた。
In addition, there is known a technique (see Patent Document 6) that suppresses caking due to moisture absorption by setting the amount of saccharide to 0 to 5% by weight in a flavor seasoning filled in a shake-out container.
However, this technique severely restricts the use of all saccharides, and it limits not only the compositional approach related to the taste of seasonings but also the compositional approach related to its physical properties. There was a problem. In particular, restricting the use of lactose, which is widely used as an excipient in powdered seasonings, has a very large impact on the degree of freedom in the production of powdered seasonings and product stability, and lactose as usual. There has been a strong demand for a method that can be used as an excipient.

 次に、本発明を以下の実施例によって詳細に説明するが、本発明はこれにより限定されるものではない。 Next, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the following examples, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
[実施例1~3、比較例1~3]
 表1に、固形状調味料に一般的に使用される原料である食塩、グラニュー糖、乳糖について、臨界相対湿度(CRH;Critical Relative Humidity)を測定した結果を示した。可溶性の粉体原料は、保存中に相対湿度(RH;Relative Humidity)が高くなり、CRHに達した時点で潮解に至り、場合によっては固結が生じる。CRHの測定は、水分活性測定システムAW-プロ(ロトロニック社製)により吸着等温線を求め、潮解時のAw値から判断することにより行った。水分活性の測定条件はDVS(動的水蒸気吸着;Dynamic Vapor Sorption)モード、温度=25℃、Aw上昇step=0.02とした。
[Examples 1 to 3, Comparative Examples 1 to 3]
Table 1 shows the results of measurement of critical relative humidity (CRH) for salt, granulated sugar, and lactose, which are raw materials generally used for solid seasonings. The soluble powder raw material has a high relative humidity (RH) during storage and reaches deliquescence when CRH is reached, and solidification occurs in some cases. The CRH was measured by obtaining an adsorption isotherm using a water activity measurement system AW-Pro (manufactured by Rotronic) and judging from the Aw value at the time of deliquescence. The measurement conditions of the water activity were DVS (Dynamic Vapor Sorption) mode, temperature = 25 ° C., and Aw increase step = 0.02.
 実施例1は、塩化ナトリウム濃度が99.0重量%以上の食塩(株式会社日本海水製)について、CRHを測定したものである。
 実施例2は、食塩およびグラニュー糖を、食塩:グラニュー糖=9:1(重量比)にて混合した混合物(グラニュー糖の含有量=食塩100重量部に対して11.1重量部)について、CRHを測定したものである。
 実施例3は、食塩および乳糖を、食塩:乳糖=5:5(重量比)にて混合した混合物について、CRHを測定したものである。
In Example 1, CRH is measured for sodium chloride (manufactured by Nihonkaikai Co., Ltd.) having a sodium chloride concentration of 99.0 wt% or more.
Example 2 is about the mixture (content of granulated sugar = 11.1 weight part with respect to 100 weight part of salt) which mixed salt and granulated sugar in salt: granulated sugar = 9: 1 (weight ratio). CRH is measured.
In Example 3, CRH was measured for a mixture obtained by mixing salt and lactose in salt: lactose = 5: 5 (weight ratio).
 比較例1は、食塩およびグラニュー糖を、食塩:グラニュー糖=5:5(重量比)(グラニュー糖の含有量=食塩100重量部に対して100重量部)にて混合した混合物について、CRHを測定したものである。
 比較例2は、食塩およびグラニュー糖を、食塩:グラニュー糖=1:9(重量比)(グラニュー糖の含有量=食塩100重量部に対して900重量部)にて混合した混合物について、CRHを測定したものである。
 比較例3は、グラニュー糖についてCRHを測定したものである。
Comparative Example 1 is a mixture of salt and granulated sugar mixed with salt: granulated sugar = 5: 5 (weight ratio) (content of granulated sugar = 100 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of salt). It is measured.
Comparative Example 2 is a mixture of salt and granulated sugar mixed with salt: granulated sugar = 1: 9 (weight ratio) (content of granulated sugar = 900 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of salt). It is measured.
In Comparative Example 3, CRH was measured for granulated sugar.
Figure JPOXMLDOC01-appb-T000001
Figure JPOXMLDOC01-appb-T000001
 表1に示すCRHの測定結果から明らかなように、実施例1~3においては、CRHは70%~73%であり、グラニュー糖または乳糖の添加により、大きな変化は見られなかった。
 これに対し、食塩100重量部に対するグラニュー糖の添加量がそれぞれ100重量部および900重量部である比較例1、2では、CRHはそれぞれ61%であり、食塩単体のCRH(73%)に比べて大きく低下した。また、グラニュー糖単体である比較例3のCRH(83%)と比較しても、CRHは大きく低下した。
 すなわち、比較例1、2に比べ、実施例2、3では潮解が生じ難いことが示された。実施例2、3では、グラニュー糖または乳糖を含有するにもかかわらず、食塩単体の場合と同様に、潮解の生じにくい状態が維持されていることがわかる。
As is apparent from the measurement results of CRH shown in Table 1, in Examples 1 to 3, the CRH was 70% to 73%, and no significant change was observed with the addition of granulated sugar or lactose.
On the other hand, in Comparative Examples 1 and 2 in which the addition amount of granulated sugar with respect to 100 parts by weight of salt is 100 parts by weight and 900 parts by weight, respectively, CRH is 61%, compared with CRH (73%) of salt alone Greatly decreased. Moreover, even when compared with CRH (83%) of Comparative Example 3 which is a granulated sugar alone, CRH was greatly reduced.
That is, it was shown that deliquescence hardly occurred in Examples 2 and 3 as compared with Comparative Examples 1 and 2. In Examples 2 and 3, it can be seen that despite containing granulated sugar or lactose, a state in which deliquescence hardly occurs is maintained as in the case of salt alone.
 [実施例5~7、比較例4]固形状調味料
 表2に示す含有量にて、食塩、グラニュー糖、乳糖およびその他の原料を混合し、押出造粒により造粒して、顆粒状の調味料を調製した。なお、その他の原料としては、しょうゆ、エキス(畜肉エキス、野菜エキスおよび酵母エキスの混合物)、香辛料(ガーリック、コショウ、ローレルおよびクローブ)ならびにうま味調味料(L-グルタミン酸ナトリウム、イノシン酸二ナトリウムおよびコハク酸二ナトリウム)を、1:4:3:23の重量比にて混合して用いた。その他の原料に含まれる塩分は、調味料に対して約0.2重量%であった。
 実施例5および6の各調味料におけるグラニュー糖の含有量は、食塩100重量部に対し、それぞれ14.6重量部および7.3重量部であり、実施例7の調味料はグラニュー糖を含有しない。
 一方、比較例4の調味料におけるグラニュー糖の含有量は、食塩100重量部に対し、34.0重量部である。
[Examples 5 to 7 and Comparative Example 4] Solid seasonings In the content shown in Table 2, salt, granulated sugar, lactose and other raw materials were mixed, granulated by extrusion granulation, and granulated. A seasoning was prepared. Other ingredients include soy sauce, extract (mixture of livestock meat extract, vegetable extract and yeast extract), spice (garlic, pepper, laurel and clove) and umami seasoning (sodium L-glutamate, disodium inosinate and succinate). Acid disodium) was used in a weight ratio of 1: 4: 3: 23. The salt content in other raw materials was about 0.2% by weight based on the seasoning.
The content of granulated sugar in each seasoning of Examples 5 and 6 is 14.6 parts by weight and 7.3 parts by weight, respectively, with respect to 100 parts by weight of sodium chloride, and the seasoning of Example 7 contains granulated sugar. do not do.
On the other hand, the content of granulated sugar in the seasoning of Comparative Example 4 is 34.0 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of sodium chloride.
 実施例5~7および比較例4の各調味料について、水分量と固結に至るまでの時間(固結時間)を測定した。各調味料の水分量は、秤量瓶に実施例および比較例の各調味料をそれぞれ3g量り取り、恒温恒湿槽(「LH33-13P」、ナガノサイエンス株式会社製)内に開放状態で静置し、温度30℃、湿度30%の条件下で平衡化させた後に、条件を温度30℃、湿度65%に変更した後、減圧乾燥法(条件;4kPa、70℃、5時間)により経時的に測定し、各調味料の乾燥重量に対する水分量(重量%D.B.)にて示した。また、各調味料の状態を経時的に観察し、固結に至るまでに要した時間を固結時間とした。固結に至ったかどうかは、VORTEX-GENIE2(サイエンティフィックインダストリーズ社製)により、秤量瓶に量り取った各調味料に振動(目盛5で10秒間)を与えても、秤量瓶の底面積の半分以上に調味料の付着が認められ、秤量瓶を振っても調味料の凝集が残り、サラサラにならない状態を、「固結に至った」として判断した。
 固結時間の測定結果は、表2に併せて示した。また、各調味料の水分量の経時的な変化の様子を図1に示し、固結に至った時期を、図中「↑」にて示した。
For each seasoning of Examples 5 to 7 and Comparative Example 4, the amount of water and the time until consolidation (consolidation time) were measured. As for the moisture content of each seasoning, 3 g of each seasoning of the example and the comparative example was weighed in a weighing bottle and left in a constant temperature and humidity chamber (“LH33-13P”, manufactured by Nagano Science Co., Ltd.) in an open state. After equilibrating under the conditions of temperature 30 ° C. and humidity 30%, the conditions were changed to temperature 30 ° C. and humidity 65%, and then time-lapsed by a reduced pressure drying method (conditions: 4 kPa, 70 ° C., 5 hours). The water content (wt% DB) relative to the dry weight of each seasoning was shown. In addition, the state of each seasoning was observed over time, and the time taken to solidify was defined as the consolidation time. Whether or not the caulking has been achieved can be determined by VORTEX-GENIE2 (manufactured by Scientific Industries) even if each seasoning weighed in the weighing bottle is given vibration (scale 5 for 10 seconds). More than half of the seasonings were observed to adhere, and even when the weighing bottle was shaken, the condiment of the seasonings remained and did not become smooth.
The measurement results of the setting time are also shown in Table 2. In addition, FIG. 1 shows the change over time in the moisture content of each seasoning, and the time when consolidation has been reached is indicated by “↑” in the figure.

 表2および図1に示されるように、比較例4の調味料では、実験開始直後から激しい吸湿が起こり、短時間で固結に至ったが、実施例5および6の各調味料では、吸湿が抑制された結果、固結時間が増大し、固結しにくくなったことがわかる。実施例7の調味料では、吸湿が顕著に抑制され、観察時間(1340分)内に固結には至らなかった。 As shown in Table 2 and FIG. 1, in the seasoning of Comparative Example 4, intense moisture absorption occurred immediately after the start of the experiment, leading to consolidation in a short time, but in each seasoning of Examples 5 and 6, moisture absorption. As a result, it was found that the consolidation time increased and the consolidation became difficult. In the seasoning of Example 7, moisture absorption was remarkably suppressed, and solidification did not occur within the observation time (1340 minutes).
 以上のことから、本発明において期待される耐吸湿固結効果を得るためには、固形状調味料における砂糖の含有量を、固形状調味料に含有される食塩100重量部に対し、0~15重量部とする必要があることが明らかとなった。 From the above, in order to obtain the moisture-absorption-resistant consolidation effect expected in the present invention, the sugar content in the solid seasoning is 0 to 100 parts by weight of salt contained in the solid seasoning. It became clear that it was necessary to use 15 parts by weight.
 以上詳述したように、本発明により、吸湿による固結が良好に抑制され、保存安定性に優れる固形状調味料を提供することができる。
 本発明の固形状調味料は、1食分もしくは1回の使用量が個包装された形態、または、複数食分もしくは複数回の使用量が一つに包装されもしくは一つの容器に充填された形態で提供され得る。前記のいずれの形態で提供される場合でも、固形状調味料の吸湿による固結が良好に抑制される。特に、複数食分もしくは複数回の使用量が一つに包装されもしくは一つの容器に充填された形態の固形状調味料において、包装体もしくは容器の開封後、固形状調味料が複数回使用された場合や、包装体もしくは容器が開封され、固形状調味料が一度使用された後、長期間保存された場合にも、吸湿による固結が良好に抑制される。
As described in detail above, the present invention can provide a solid seasoning in which caking due to moisture absorption is well suppressed and storage stability is excellent.
The solid seasoning of the present invention is in a form in which one serving or one use amount is individually packaged, or in a form in which a plurality of servings or multiple use amounts are packaged in one or filled in one container. Can be provided. Even when provided in any of the above forms, solidification due to moisture absorption of the solid seasoning is satisfactorily suppressed.
