The present invention provides dipeptide sweetener-containing fats and oils that are sweetened by α-L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester (hereinafter referred to as aspartame) and in which aspartame is stably dispersed and retained in the fats and oils. Regarding its manufacturing method. Conventionally, in order to impart sweetness to foods containing fats and oils, methods are as follows: (1) A sweetener is dissolved in advance in the aqueous portion of the raw materials used, then mixed with fats and oils, and used as is, or processed by cooking. can be mentioned. For example, in dressings and sauces,
Sugar and other sweeteners are dissolved in advance in vinegar, liquid eggs, water, and other aqueous raw materials, and then fats and oils are added to emulsify. (2) Also, Western sweets,
For toppings etc., O/W type or W/O
Another method is to add the sweetener directly to the mold emulsion and dissolve the sweetener in the water contained therein. (3) Furthermore, in products such as thiokolate, sugar and fat are thoroughly kneaded and ground, so that the sugar is evenly kneaded into the solid fat without the introduction of water. Among sweeteners, aspartame is a low-calorie sweetener that is characterized by its sharp, high-quality sweetness and is about 200 times sweeter than sugar, and is expected to be used in various foods. Problems in its use include not only low dispersibility and solubility in water, but also lack of solubility in oils and fats, and instability with respect to heat and moisture. In particular, in the above oil-containing foods, the use of aspartame, which can provide a sufficient sweetening effect with the addition of a small amount, has a dietary effect and can impart sweetness without changing the properties (physical properties) of the oil or fat. It has various advantages such as the ability to easily mix many water-soluble (hydrophilic) substances into the aqueous layer. By the way, when aspartame is added using the conventional methods (1) to (3) above, the following problems arise due to its inherent properties. That is, in the case of method (1) or (2), the dispersibility and solubility in water is low, so it is difficult to uniformly and easily disperse and dissolve it in the food. Method (3) requires extremely long kneading times and expensive machinery, and requires substances that have an affinity for sugar, such as proteins and carbohydrates, as well as emulsifiers. sweetness loss,
This is unfavorable from the economic point of view. These problems in the conventional methods can be solved by forming an aspartame-containing fat or oil composition in the absence of water without using a kneading method. However, it is difficult to directly dissolve or disperse aspartame in fats and oils, and no attempt has been made to obtain such a fat composition. In view of the above-mentioned current situation, the present inventors have conducted extensive research in order to develop sweetened fats and oils that are sweetened with aspartame and in which aspartame is stably retained in the fats and oils. It has been found that the above problem can be solved by micronizing and dispersing the food to such an extent that the food texture does not feel dry. The present invention has been completed based on this knowledge, namely, a dipeptide sweetener-containing oil and fat characterized in that all or a part of aspartame is suspended in the oil in the form of fine particles with a particle size of 100μ or less, and aspartame. This is a method for producing a dipeptide sweetener-containing fat or oil, which is characterized by homogenizing the containing solution or slurry and the fat and then removing the solvent by evaporation or rapidly solidifying or fluidizing it. The present invention will be specifically explained below. The aspartame used in the present invention may be used as a bulk powder or may be granulated in advance, either alone or together with excipients. The particle size of aspartame at the raw material stage is not particularly limited, but is generally 0.1 to 1000μ, preferably 100μ.
It is as follows. The method of suspending aspartame in fats and oils can be applied to any method as long as aspartame is in the form of fine particles and can be suspended uniformly.For example, aspartame is mixed directly into an appropriate amount of fats and oils, and then processed using a pin mill, feather mill, pulperizer, or other fine grinder. A method of finely pulverizing aspartame in oil or fat using a pulverizer (preferably an ultrafine pulverizer) and suspending the aspartame can also be adopted. Further, the following method may be mentioned as a preferable method. First, aspartame is made into a solution or slurry using a volatile solvent such as water or alcohol. In this case, as the solute, even if aspartame is used as a bulk powder, other dispersing agents (preferably sugar, dextrin, sugar alcohol, acid, and other substances that increase the solubility of aspartame), emulsifiers, flavoring agents, etc. May be used together. This solution or slurry (pH preferably adjusted to 3 to 5) is mixed with fat (in the case of solid fat, it is desirable to operate in a molten state) and homogenized using an emulsifier such as a colloid mill. the concentration of the aspartame-containing solution or slurry;
The weight ratio of oil and fat to the solution or slurry, etc.
It is determined as appropriate depending on the degree of sweetness of the intended dipeptide sweetener-containing fat or oil, but specifically, it is desirable to contain aspartame in an amount of 0.001 to 10% by weight based on the fat or oil. The finer the aspartame particles are, the more preferable the homogenization is, but the homogenization is carried out until at least a state in which the aspartame particles are suspended in the form of fine particles of 100 μm or less is obtained. When heating and evaporating the solvent, the heating temperature is 100℃ or less, preferably room temperature ~
By carrying out the process at 60°C under reduced pressure, the solvent can be removed relatively efficiently while aspartame is stably retained in the oil. The fats and oils used in the present invention can be of any type, such as vegetable oils, animal fats, and others, as long as they have triglycerides as their main component, and may be used alone or in combination of two or more. . The dispersed aspartame is fixed in oil and fat,
In order to obtain a uniform aspartame concentration, it is desirable to use an oil that is fluid or solid at room temperature, but even if it is a liquid oil, once aspartame is dispersed in the oil, the aspartame particles will settle. However, the properties of the oil and fat are not limited, since they can be easily redispersed by slight mechanical stirring or shaking during use. When using an oil or fat that is solid or fluid at room temperature, even if the above-mentioned aspartame-containing solution or slurry and oil are homogenized and then rapidly solidified or fluidized after or without removing the solvent by evaporation, Aspartame particles are maintained in a uniformly suspended state, and the desired effect can be fully exhibited. In addition, when using liquid oil, gum, CMC,
It is also possible to prevent aspartame from settling by adding carrageenan, pectin, starch, or other thickeners to increase the viscosity of the oil. In addition, when homogenizing fats and oils and an aspartame-containing solution or slurry, it is possible to add an emulsifier.
Preferably, the emulsifier used is appropriately selected from fatty acid monodiglycerides, sorbitan fatty acid esters, sucrose fatty acid esters, propylene glycol fatty acid esters, lecithin, and the like. The amount added is within a range that does not impair texture and flavor, and specifically, it is desirable to add 500% by weight or less based on the sweetener. It goes without saying that it is also possible to add third components other than fats and oils, aspartame, and emulsifiers, such as flavoring agents, coloring agents, and stabilizers. Next, the present invention will be further explained with reference to Examples. Example 1 An aspartame aqueous solution prepared by dissolving 1.5 g of aspartame in 150 ml of water and 75 g of corn salad oil containing 1.g of soybean lecithin were mixed and stirred to emulsify.
This emulsion was heated to 50° C. under reduced pressure while stirring to remove moisture. As the water is removed, fine crystal pieces are generated and dispersed throughout the oil. When the water is further reduced, the corn salad oil becomes transparent, and aspartame-containing oil and fat with fine aspartame crystal pieces uniformly dispersed in the corn salad oil is formed. Obtained. If this oil and fat were left to stand, the aspartame crystal pieces would gradually settle out over time, but by simply shaking the oil and fat lightly, it would easily return to its original dispersed state. When I put this corn salad oil in which aspartame was evenly dispersed into my mouth, it had a refreshing sweetness that went down my throat, and the texture did not feel grainy at all. Example 2 75g of corn salad oil containing the above aspartame
and 500 g of peanut butter were mixed and kneaded to obtain peanut butter with good sweetness. Furthermore, 200 g of water was added and emulsified according to a conventional method to obtain peanut butter cream. When comparing the taste with commercially available peanut butter cream by spreading it on toast, the results shown in Table 1 were obtained.
