Description

ケーキ類用ミックス及びその製造方法Cake mix and method for producing the same
 本発明は、小麦ふすまを含むケーキ類用ミックスに関する。 The present invention relates to cake mixes containing wheat bran.
 近年、健康意識の高まりから、食物繊維、ビタミン、ミネラルなどの栄養素に富む小麦ふすまの需要が増してきている。しかし小麦ふすまは、組織が硬く粉砕され難いため、粒子が比較的大きなものとなりやすく、また特有の穀物臭を有するため、これを含む食品は、ザクザクとした脆い食感を呈する、飲み込む際にイガイガ感を知覚させ得る、苦味やエグミがある、不快臭が強い等の問題がある。また例えば、小麦ふすまを含むベーカリー食品用ミックスに加水して調製した生地は、小麦ふすまによる吸水の影響により、焼成時の火抜けが悪く膨化が不十分となりやすいため、該生地を焼成して得られたベーカリー食品は、ボリューム感に乏しい、生焼け状態となってくちゃついた食感になりやすい等の問題がある。 In recent years, due to the growing awareness of health, the demand for wheat bran, which is rich in nutrients such as dietary fiber, vitamins and minerals, has increased. However, since wheat bran has a hard texture and is difficult to grind, the particles tend to be relatively large, and it has a characteristic grain odor. There are problems such as the presence of bitterness and acridity, and a strong unpleasant odor. In addition, for example, dough prepared by adding water to a bakery food mix containing wheat bran tends to have poor fire escape during baking and insufficient swelling due to the influence of water absorption by wheat bran. The resulting bakery food has problems such as lack of volume and tends to be undercooked and crunchy in texture.
 特許文献1には、食感がざらついたものではなく、保存安定性にも優れた小麦ふすまの製造方法として、小麦ふすまを脱脂した後、焙焼し、粉砕する工程を含む方法が記載されている。また特許文献1には、斯かる方法とは異なる参考例の小麦ふすまの製造方法として、オーストラリア・スタンダード・ホワイト(以下、「ASW」とも言う。)小麦由来の小麦ふすまを、クッカーを用いて0.5kg/cmで4分間蒸煮した後、98~100℃で8~10分間乾熱処理し、更に粉砕する工程を含むものが記載され、この参考例によって製造された小麦ふすまのうち平均粒径が40μm程度以下のものは、ホットケーキ等に用いた場合にざらつき感を消失させることができたとされている(特許文献1の[0017]~[0021])。 Patent Document 1 describes a method for producing wheat bran that does not have a rough texture and is excellent in storage stability, including the steps of defatting wheat bran, roasting it, and pulverizing it. there is In Patent Document 1, as a method for producing wheat bran of a reference example different from such a method, wheat bran derived from Australian Standard White (hereinafter also referred to as "ASW") wheat is cooked to 0 using a cooker. After steaming at 5 kg/cm 2 for 4 minutes, dry heat treatment at 98 to 100 ° C. for 8 to 10 minutes, and further pulverizing. It is said that when used in pancakes and the like, it is possible to eliminate the feeling of roughness when using those having a diameter of about 40 μm or less ([0017] to [0021] of Patent Document 1).
 特許文献2には、白小麦由来のふすまを赤小麦由来の小麦粉に加えた小麦粉組成物を原料として使用すると、ふすまを多く含むにもかかわらず風味、食感、外観などに優れた美味なパンを製造することができることが記載され、白小麦の具体例としてASWが挙げられている。特許文献2には、同文献に記載の発明に用いるふすまに関して、粒径についての考察は具体的に記載されているが、加熱処理については記載されてない。 In Patent Document 2, when a wheat flour composition obtained by adding bran derived from white wheat to wheat flour derived from red wheat is used as a raw material, delicious bread excellent in flavor, texture, appearance, etc. despite containing a large amount of bran is produced.

 本発明の課題は、栄養豊富な小麦ふすまを含有し、食味、食感、外観が良好なケーキ類を製造可能なケーキ類用ミックスを提供することである。 An object of the present invention is to provide a cake mix containing nutritious wheat bran and capable of producing cakes with good taste, texture and appearance.
 本発明は、穀粉類を含有し、該穀粉類の10~50質量%が、オーストラリア・スタンダード・ホワイト小麦由来の小麦ふすまの飽和水蒸気による湿熱処理物であり、前記湿熱処理物の平均粒径が60~200μmである、ケーキ類用ミックスである。 The present invention contains cereal flour, 10 to 50% by mass of the cereal flour is a moist heat-treated product with saturated steam of wheat bran derived from Australian Standard White Wheat, and the average particle size of the moist-heat-treated product is It is a mix for cakes with a thickness of 60 to 200 μm.
 また本発明は、穀粉類を含有し、該穀粉類の10~50質量%が小麦ふすまの湿熱処理物である、ケーキ類用ミックスの製造方法であって、小麦としてオーストラリア・スタンダード・ホワイトを用い、該小麦から小麦ふすまを採取する工程と、前記小麦ふすまを湿熱処理して前記湿熱処理物を得る工程と、前記湿熱処理物と他の原料とを混合する工程とを有し、前記湿熱処理は、処理対象の小麦ふすまを密閉空間に収容するとともに、該密閉空間に飽和水蒸気を導入し、該小麦ふすまの品温が80~98℃の状態を1~60秒間維持する処理である、ケーキ類用ミックスの製造方法である。 Further, the present invention is a method for producing a mix for cakes containing flour, wherein 10 to 50% by mass of the flour is a moist heat-treated wheat bran, and Australian Standard White is used as the wheat. , a step of collecting wheat bran from the wheat, a step of subjecting the wheat bran to a wet heat treatment to obtain the heat-moisture-treated product, and a step of mixing the heat-moisture-treated product and other raw materials, is a process in which the wheat bran to be treated is housed in a closed space, saturated steam is introduced into the closed space, and the product temperature of the wheat bran is maintained at 80 to 98 ° C. for 1 to 60 seconds. Cake It is a method for producing a similar mix.
 本発明のケーキ類用ミックスは、小麦ふすまを含有する。
 本発明において「小麦」とは、イネ科コムギ属の植物の頴果を指す。一般的に、小麦の頴果(小麦穀粒)は、胚乳部、外皮部(外皮及び種皮)並びに胚芽(胚部)に大別されるところ、小麦穀粒を粉砕し、胚乳部及び胚芽を除去して得られた外皮部由来の画分が、小麦ふすまとなる。
The cake mix of the present invention contains wheat bran.
In the present invention, "wheat" refers to the pods of plants belonging to the genus Triticum, Poaceae. In general, the wheat kernel (wheat grain) is roughly divided into the endosperm, the outer coat (outer coat and seed coat) and the germ (germ). The fraction derived from the outer skin obtained by removing becomes wheat bran.
 本発明で用いる小麦ふすまの少なくとも一部は、オーストラリア・スタンダード・ホワイト(ASW)小麦由来のものである。なお、本願におけるASWは、オーストラリアン・スタンダード・ホワイト・ヌードル・ブレンド(Australian Standard White Noodle blend; ASWN blend; ASWNB)を指し、本願ではASWと略する。ASW小麦は、主に麺類(特にうどん)に用いられる小麦銘柄であり、ケーキ類には従来ほとんど用いられていない(ケーキ類に従来用いられている小麦はWWである)。また、ASW小麦由来の成分で主に用いられているのは胚乳部画分(小麦粉)であり、ふすま画分はほとんど用いられていない。「従来麺類用途で用いられているASWのふすま画分をケーキ類に用いることで、WW等を用いる従来製法で得られたケーキ類に比べて高品質のケーキ類が得られる」、という本発明の技術思想は、従来技術から想起し難いものであると言える。
 一般的に、小麦は、小麦穀粒を視認したときに観察される色に応じて、赤小麦と白小麦との二つの種類に大別される。赤小麦は、外皮部に赤色色素を含有する小麦であり、小麦穀粒を視認したときに、赤色、赤褐色又は褐色として観察される。一方、白小麦は、外皮部に赤色色素を略含有しない小麦であり、小麦穀粒を視認したときに、白色又は淡黄色として観察される。本発明で用いるASWは、オーストラリア産の白小麦である。
 白小麦には、ASWの他に例えば、プライムハード(PH、オーストラリア産)、ソフトホワイト(SW、アメリカ合衆国産)、ウエスタン・ホワイト(WW、アメリカ合衆国産)があり、ASWを含めてこれらは普通小麦である。普通小麦ではない白小麦として、デュラム小麦(世界各国で生産)がある。これらの白小麦は、例えば遺伝学的特徴で適宜選別することができる。
 また普通小麦は、小麦穀粒の硬さに応じて、硬質小麦と、軟質小麦と、硬質と軟質との中間の硬さを有する中間質小麦との三つの種類に大別される。本発明で用いるASWは、中間質小麦である。硬質小麦の具体例としてプライムハードが挙げられ、軟質小麦の具体例としてウエスタン・ホワイトが挙げられる。
At least a portion of the wheat bran used in the present invention is derived from Australian Standard White (ASW) wheat. ASW in the present application refers to Australian Standard White Noodle blend (ASWN blend; ASWNB) and is abbreviated as ASW in the present application. ASW wheat is a wheat brand that is mainly used for noodles (especially udon), and is rarely used for cakes (the wheat that is conventionally used for cakes is WW). In addition, the endosperm fraction (wheat flour) is mainly used as a component derived from ASW wheat, and the bran fraction is hardly used. The present invention states that "By using the bran fraction of ASW, which has been conventionally used for noodles, cakes of higher quality can be obtained than cakes obtained by conventional methods using WW and the like." It can be said that this technical idea is difficult to conjure up from the prior art.
Wheat is generally divided into two types, red wheat and white wheat, depending on the color observed when viewing the wheat kernel. Red wheat is wheat that contains a red pigment in the husk, and is observed as red, reddish brown, or brown when the wheat kernel is visually observed. On the other hand, white wheat is wheat that does not substantially contain a red pigment in the husk portion, and is observed as white or pale yellow when the wheat grain is visually observed. The ASW used in the present invention is Australian white wheat.
In addition to ASW, white wheat includes, for example, prime hard (PH, produced in Australia), soft white (SW, produced in the United States), and western white (WW, produced in the United States). be. Durum wheat (produced around the world) is a type of white wheat that is not common wheat. These white wheat can be appropriately selected, for example, by genetic characteristics.
Common wheat is roughly divided into three types, hard wheat, soft wheat, and intermediate wheat, which has a hardness intermediate between hard and soft, according to the hardness of the wheat grain. The ASW used in the present invention is intermediate wheat. A specific example of hard wheat is Prime Hard, and a specific example of soft wheat is Western White.
 本発明で用いるASW小麦由来の小麦ふすまは、飽和水蒸気による湿熱処理が施された湿熱処理物である。本技術分野において「湿熱処理」とは一般的に、飽和水蒸気、過熱水蒸気又は熱水等を熱媒体として高湿度雰囲気(例えば湿度70%以上の雰囲気)で処理対象(小麦ふすま)を加熱する方法を指すが、本発明に係る湿熱処理では、熱媒体として飽和水蒸気を用い、過熱水蒸気、熱水は用いない。ここでいう「過熱水蒸気」とは、飽和水蒸気とは異なり、飽和水蒸気の温度(大気圧では100℃)以上に過熱された水蒸気を指す。前述したように特許文献1に記載の参考例では、クッカーを用いて小麦ふすまを蒸煮しているところ、斯かる小麦ふすまの蒸煮は、熱水による湿熱処理であり、飽和水蒸気による湿熱処理ではない。 The wheat bran derived from ASW wheat used in the present invention is a heat-moisture-treated product that has been subjected to heat-moisture treatment using saturated steam. In this technical field, "wet heat treatment" generally refers to a method of heating an object to be treated (wheat bran) in a high-humidity atmosphere (for example, an atmosphere with a humidity of 70% or more) using saturated steam, superheated steam, hot water, or the like as a heat medium. However, in the wet heat treatment according to the present invention, saturated steam is used as a heat medium, and superheated steam and hot water are not used. The term “superheated steam” as used herein refers to steam superheated to a temperature of saturated steam (100° C. at atmospheric pressure) or higher, unlike saturated steam. As described above, in the reference example described in Patent Document 1, the wheat bran is steamed using a cooker, and the steaming of the wheat bran is a wet heat treatment using hot water, not a wet heat treatment using saturated steam. .
 本発明に係る湿熱処理は、処理対象の小麦ふすまに飽和水蒸気をあてる処理である。本発明に係る湿熱処理は、大気に開放された状態で処理対象の小麦ふすまに飽和水蒸気をあてる方法によって実施してもよいが、典型的には、処理対象の小麦ふすまを密閉空間に収容するとともに、該密閉空間に飽和水蒸気を導入する方法によって実施される。また、本発明に係る湿熱処理は、常圧下及び加圧下の何れで実施してもよい。本発明に係る湿熱処理は、オートクレーブやスチームオーブン等の装置で実施可能であるが、これに限られない。本発明に係る湿熱処理の詳細については後述する。 The wet heat treatment according to the present invention is a treatment in which saturated steam is applied to the wheat bran to be treated. The wet heat treatment according to the present invention may be performed by a method of applying saturated steam to the wheat bran to be treated while it is open to the atmosphere, but typically, the wheat bran to be treated is accommodated in a closed space. In addition, it is implemented by a method of introducing saturated steam into the closed space. Moreover, the wet heat treatment according to the present invention may be carried out under normal pressure or under pressure. The wet heat treatment according to the present invention can be performed in an apparatus such as an autoclave or a steam oven, but is not limited to this. Details of the wet heat treatment according to the present invention will be described later.
 本発明のケーキ類用ミックスは、穀粉類を含有し、該穀粉類の10~50質量%が、前述した「ASW小麦由来の小麦ふすまの飽和水蒸気による湿熱処理物」(以下、「湿熱処理ASWふすま」とも言う。)である。穀粉類の全質量に占める湿熱処理ASWふすまの割合が10質量%未満では、ケーキ類に小麦ふすまを含有させる意義(食物繊維、ビタミン、ミネラルなどの栄養素の含有量の増加による健康増進効果の発現)に乏しく、該割合が50質量%を超えると、小麦ふすまの影響が強くなりすぎてケーキ類の食味、食感、外観が低下するおそれがある。穀粉類の全質量に占める湿熱処理ASWふすまの割合は、好ましくは15~40質量%、より好ましくは15~35質量%である。 The mix for cakes of the present invention contains cereal flour, and 10 to 50% by mass of the cereal flour is the above-mentioned "saturated steamed wheat bran derived from ASW wheat" (hereinafter referred to as "moist-heat-treated ASW It is also called “Fusuma”). If the ratio of wet heat-treated ASW bran to the total mass of flour is less than 10% by mass, the significance of including wheat bran in cakes (expression of health promotion effects by increasing the content of nutrients such as dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals ), and if the ratio exceeds 50% by mass, the influence of wheat bran becomes too strong, and the taste, texture and appearance of cakes may deteriorate. The proportion of heat-moisture treated ASW bran in the total mass of cereal flour is preferably 15 to 40% by mass, more preferably 15 to 35% by mass.
 湿熱処理ASWふすまの平均粒径は60~200μmであり、好ましくは60~180μm、より好ましくは70~160μmである。湿熱処理ASWふすまの平均粒径は、特にケーキ類の食味、食感に影響があり、これが前記特定範囲にあることで、ケーキ類の口溶け等の良好なものとなる。平均粒径が60μm未満の湿熱処理ASWふすまは、製造に多大な労力を要し、ミックスの製造コストの高騰を招く可能性がある一方で、さほど大きな改善効果は見込めない。また、ミックス中の湿熱処理ASWふすまの平均粒径が200μmを超えると、ケーキ類の食味、食感が低下するおそれがある。
 ここでいう「平均粒径」とは、レーザ回折散乱式粒度分布測定装置(例えば、日機装株式会社製、「マイクロトラック粒径分布測定装置9200FRA」)を用いて乾式で測定したときの累積体積50容量%における体積累積粒径D50を指す。
The average particle size of the heat-moisture treated ASW bran is 60-200 μm, preferably 60-180 μm, more preferably 70-160 μm. The average particle size of the wet-heat-treated ASW bran has an effect on the taste and texture of cakes, and if it is within the above-mentioned specific range, the cakes will be melted well in the mouth. Wet-heat-treated ASW bran with an average particle size of less than 60 μm requires a lot of labor for production, which may lead to a rise in the production cost of the mix, but a large improvement effect cannot be expected. Moreover, if the average particle size of the wet-heat-treated ASW bran in the mix exceeds 200 μm, the taste and texture of cakes may deteriorate.
The “average particle size” as used herein means a cumulative volume of 50 when measured dry using a laser diffraction scattering particle size distribution analyzer (for example, “Microtrac Particle Size Distribution Analyzer 9200FRA” manufactured by Nikkiso Co., Ltd.). Refers to the volume cumulative particle size D50 in volume %.
 本発明のケーキ類用ミックスにおいて、湿熱処理ASWふすま以外の他の穀粉類としては、この種のミックスで使用可能な穀粉及び澱粉を特に制限なく用いることができ、製造するケーキ類の種類等に応じて、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。穀粉としては、例えば、小麦粉(薄力粉、中力粉、強力粉、小麦全粒粉、デュラムセモリナ等)、ライ麦粉、米粉、コーンフラワー、コーングリッツ等が挙げられる。澱粉としては、例えば、コーンスターチ、ワキシーコーンスターチ、タピオカ澱粉、馬鈴薯澱粉、小麦澱粉、米澱粉等の未加工澱粉;該未加工澱粉に油脂加工、α化、エーテル化、エステル化、架橋、酸化等の処理の1つ以上を施した加工澱粉が挙げられる。 In the mix for cakes of the present invention, as grain flours other than wet-heat-treated ASW bran, grain flours and starches that can be used in this type of mix can be used without particular limitations. One of these can be used alone or in combination of two or more. Examples of grain flour include wheat flour (weak flour, all-purpose flour, strong flour, whole wheat flour, durum semolina, etc.), rye flour, rice flour, corn flour, corn grits, and the like. Examples of starch include unprocessed starch such as corn starch, waxy corn starch, tapioca starch, potato starch, wheat starch, and rice starch; Included are modified starches that have been subjected to one or more of the treatments.
 本発明のケーキ類用ミックスの好ましい一実施形態として、「穀粉類に小麦粉が含まれており、該小麦粉の含有質量は、湿熱処理ASWふすまの含有質量の5倍量以下である形態」(以下、「ミックスA」とも言う。)が挙げられる。ミックスAを用いて製造されたケーキ類は、湿熱処理ASWふすまによる健康増進効果と食味、食感及び外観とのバランスに特に優れている。ミックスAにおいて、小麦粉の含有質量と湿熱処理ASWふすまの含有質量との比率は、前者/後者として、好ましくは1~9、より好ましくは1~5、さらに好ましくは2~5である。 As a preferred embodiment of the mix for cakes of the present invention, "a form in which wheat flour is contained in flour, and the content of the wheat flour is 5 times or less the content of moist heat-treated ASW bran" (hereinafter , also referred to as “mix A”). The cakes produced using the mix A are particularly excellent in the balance between the health promotion effect of the moist heat-treated ASW bran and the taste, texture and appearance. In the mix A, the ratio of the content of wheat flour to the content of wet-heat-treated ASW bran is preferably 1-9, more preferably 1-5, and still more preferably 2-5 as the former/latter.
 本発明のケーキ類用ミックスにおいて、湿熱処理ASWふすま以外の他の穀粉類として特に好ましいものは薄力粉である。すなわち本発明のケーキ類用ミックスは、穀粉類として、少なくとも薄力粉及び湿熱処理ASWふすまを含有することが好ましく、前記ミックスAにおける小麦粉は、少なくとも薄力粉を含むことが好ましい。湿熱処理ASWふすま以外の他の穀粉類として薄力粉を用いることで、これらを含むミックスを用いて製造されるケーキ類の食味、食感及び外観をより一層向上させることが可能となる。 In the mix for cakes of the present invention, soft flour is particularly preferable as a cereal flour other than wet-heat-treated ASW bran. That is, the mix for cakes of the present invention preferably contains at least soft flour and moist heat-treated ASW bran as grain flours, and the wheat flour in the mix A preferably contains at least soft flour. By using soft flour as flour other than wet-heat-treated ASW bran, it is possible to further improve the taste, texture and appearance of cakes produced using a mix containing these flours.
 本発明のケーキ類用ミックスにおける穀粉類(湿熱処理ASWふすまを含む)の含有量は、製造するケーキ類の種類等に応じて適宜調整すればよく特に制限されないが、典型的には、該ミックスの全質量に対して、好ましくは50~90質量%、より好ましくは70~90質量%である。 The content of cereal flour (including wet-heat-treated ASW bran) in the mix for cakes of the present invention is not particularly limited, and may be adjusted as appropriate according to the type of cakes to be produced. is preferably 50 to 90% by mass, more preferably 70 to 90% by mass, based on the total mass of

More preferably, it is 8% by mass or more. On the other hand, from the viewpoint of production efficiency of secondary processed products (cakes), it is realistic that the content of dietary fiber in the mix for cakes of the present invention is 25% by mass or less with respect to the total mass of the mix. . The dietary fiber content in the cake mix can be adjusted by adjusting the content of the wet-heat treated ASW bran. The "content of dietary fiber" referred to here is the total value of soluble and insoluble dietary fiber, based on the Standard Tables of Food Composition in Japan 2015 (7th revision) Analysis Manual, Prosky modified method (AOAC985.29 It refers to the value quantified by the analytical method based on the method). The dietary fiber content can be measured, for example, using a commercially available measurement kit based on the modified Prosky method.
 本発明のケーキ類用ミックスは、穀粉類以外の他の成分を含有し得る。穀粉類以外の他の成分としては、ケーキ類、更にはその上位概念とも言えるベーカリー食品の製造に使用可能なものを特に制限無く用いることができ、例えば、ベーキングパウダー、炭酸水素ナトリウム(重曹)、炭酸アンモニウム、炭酸水素アンモニウム、塩化アンモニウム等の膨張剤又はイースト;全卵、卵白、卵黄等の卵類;牛乳、脱脂粉乳、バター等の乳製品;食塩等の塩類;ナッツ、レーズン等の固形具材;果汁等のエキス類;糖類、油脂類、乳化剤、増粘剤、調味料、香料、香辛料、着色料、水等が挙げられ、製造するケーキ類の種類等に応じて、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。 The cake mix of the present invention may contain ingredients other than grain flour. As ingredients other than cereal flour, those that can be used in the production of cakes and bakery foods, which can be said to be a higher concept thereof, can be used without particular limitation. Examples include baking powder, sodium hydrogen carbonate (baking soda), Bulking agents such as ammonium carbonate, ammonium bicarbonate, and ammonium chloride, or yeast; Eggs such as whole eggs, egg whites, and yolks; Dairy products such as milk, powdered skim milk and butter; Salts such as salt; Ingredients: extracts such as fruit juice; sugars, oils, emulsifiers, thickeners, seasonings, flavors, spices, coloring agents, water, etc., depending on the type of cake to be manufactured, one of these can be used alone or in combination of two or more.
 本発明のケーキ類用ミックスにベーキングパウダーを含有させることで、該ミックスを用いて製造されるケーキ類のふんわり感、ボリューム感を高めて外観を一層良好なものとすることができる。ベーキングパウダーとしては、食品に使用可能なものを特に制限無く用いることができ、例えば、基剤としての重曹と、助剤としての酸性剤とを含むものを用いることができる。前記酸性剤としては、例えば、酒石酸水素カリウム(特にL-体)、リン酸二水素カルシウム、焼ミョウバン、フマル酸、リン酸ナトリウム、グルコノデルタラクトンが挙げられ、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。 By adding baking powder to the mix for cakes of the present invention, it is possible to improve the softness and volume of the cakes produced using the mix, and to make the appearance even better. Any baking powder that can be used in foods can be used without any particular limitation. Examples of the acidic agent include potassium hydrogen tartrate (especially L-form), calcium dihydrogen phosphate, baked alum, fumaric acid, sodium phosphate, glucono delta lactone, and one of these alone or Two or more kinds can be used in combination.
 ベーキングパウダーはアルミニウム塩を含有しないことが好ましい。アルミニウム塩は健康に悪影響を与える可能性が指摘されているためである。例えば、焼ミョウバンはアルミニウム塩を含んでいるので、焼ミョウバンを酸性剤として含むベーキングパウダーの使用は本発明では控えることが好ましい。アルミニウム塩を含有しておらず、本発明に好適なベーキングパウダーとして、日清ベーキングパウダー(日清フーズ株式会社製)が挙げられる。 The baking powder preferably does not contain aluminum salts. This is because it has been pointed out that aluminum salts may adversely affect health. For example, since baked alum contains aluminum salts, it is preferable to refrain from using baking powder containing baked alum as an acidifying agent in the present invention. Nisshin Baking Powder (manufactured by Nisshin Foods Co., Ltd.) can be mentioned as a baking powder that does not contain an aluminum salt and is suitable for the present invention.
 本発明のケーキ類用ミックスにおけるベーキングパウダーの含有量は、該ミックスに含有されている穀粉類100質量部に対し、好ましくは0.1~5質量部、より好ましくは1~4質量部である。ベーキングパウダーの含有量が少なすぎるとこれを使用する意義に乏しく、ベーキングパウダーの含有量が多すぎると、当該ミックスを用いて製造されるケーキ類を喫食したときにベーキングパウダーに起因する苦みが強くなるおそれがある。 The content of baking powder in the mix for cakes of the present invention is preferably 0.1 to 5 parts by mass, more preferably 1 to 4 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of flour contained in the mix. . If the content of baking powder is too low, it is meaningless to use it. may become
 一般的に、ケーキ類用ミックスに小麦ふすまが含有されていると、小麦ふすまによる吸水の影響により、該ミックスを用いて製造されたケーキ類が生焼け状態となりやすいところ、生焼け状態のケーキ類にベーキングパウダーが含有されていると、ベーキングパウダーに起因する苦みが顕著になりやすい傾向がある。しかしながら、本発明のケーキ類用ミックスは、小麦ふすまとして湿熱処理ASWふすまを所定量使用しているため、ケーキ類が生焼け状態となり難く、そのため、ケーキ類にベーキングパウダーが含有されていても苦みを知覚し難い。したがって、本発明のケーキ類用ミックスによれば、ベーキングパウダーを使用することでケーキ類のふんわり感、ボリューム感を高めつつ、ベーキングパウダーに起因する苦みを低減することが可能である。 In general, when wheat bran is contained in a cake mix, cakes produced using the mix are likely to be undercooked due to the influence of water absorption by wheat bran. If powder is contained, the bitterness caused by baking powder tends to be noticeable. However, since the mix for cakes of the present invention uses a predetermined amount of wet heat-treated ASW bran as wheat bran, the cakes are unlikely to be undercooked, so even if the cakes contain baking powder, the cakes will not have a bitter taste. Hard to perceive. Therefore, according to the mix for cakes of the present invention, it is possible to reduce the bitterness caused by the baking powder while enhancing the softness and volume of the cakes by using the baking powder.
 本発明のケーキ類用ミックスは、種々のケーキ類の製造に使用することができる。ケーキ類は、典型的には、穀粉類を含む生地を焼成して得られる生地焼成食品であり、本発明のケーキ類用ミックスは、この生地の主原料として使用することができる。本発明のケーキ類用ミックスが適用可能なケーキ類として、ホットケーキ、パンケーキ、スポンジケーキ、パウンドケーキ、クレープを例示できる。 The cake mix of the present invention can be used for producing various cakes. Cakes are typically baked dough foods obtained by baking dough containing cereal flour, and the mix for cakes of the present invention can be used as the main raw material for this dough. Hotcakes, pancakes, sponge cakes, pound cakes, and crepes can be exemplified as cakes to which the mix for cakes of the present invention can be applied.
 次に、本発明のケーキ類用ミックスの製造方法について説明する。斯かる製造方法については、前述した本発明のケーキ類用ミックスと異なる点を主に説明する。斯かる製造方法について特に説明しない点は、前述の本発明のケーキ類用ミックスについての説明が適宜適用される。 Next, the method for producing the mix for cakes of the present invention will be explained. Regarding such a manufacturing method, differences from the aforementioned mix for cakes of the present invention will be mainly described. The above description of the mix for cakes of the present invention applies appropriately to the points that are not particularly described about such a manufacturing method.
 本発明のケーキ類用ミックスの製造方法は、小麦としてASWを用い、該小麦から小麦ふすまを採取する工程(ふすま調製工程)を有する。
 前記ふすま調製工程は、常法に従って実施することができる。典型的には、精選されたASWの小麦穀粒を、必要に応じ加水・調質した後、粉砕し、その粉砕物をシフター、ピュリファイヤー等で仕分けて、胚乳部及び胚芽を除去する方法が採用される。小麦穀粒の粉砕方法は特に制限されず、例えば、ロール式粉砕、衝撃式粉砕が挙げられ、複数の粉砕方法を組み合わせてもよい。衝撃式粉砕に用いる粉砕機としては、衝撃板と回転ロータ間で機械的衝撃により粉砕を行うものであれば特に限定されるものではなく、例えばターボミル、ブレードミル等が挙げられ、特にターボミルが好ましい。
 前記ふすま調製工程における小麦穀粒の粉砕方法の好ましい一例として、ロール式粉砕、衝撃式粉砕の順で実施する方法を例示できる。この場合、ロール式粉砕の回数は1回でも複数回でもよい。
The method for producing a mix for cakes of the present invention includes a step of using ASW as wheat and collecting wheat bran from the wheat (a step of preparing wheat bran).
The bran preparation step can be carried out according to a conventional method. Typically, selected ASW wheat grains are hydrated and conditioned as necessary, then pulverized, and the pulverized product is sorted by a sifter, a purifier, etc., and the endosperm and germ are removed. Adopted. The method of pulverizing wheat grains is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include roll pulverization and impact pulverization, and multiple pulverization methods may be combined. The pulverizer used for impact pulverization is not particularly limited as long as pulverization is performed by mechanical impact between an impact plate and a rotating rotor. .
As a preferred example of the method of pulverizing wheat grains in the bran preparation step, a method of performing roll pulverization and impact pulverization in this order can be exemplified. In this case, the number of times of roll pulverization may be one or more.
