発酵乳の製造において、原材料組成物に食品用乳化剤を配合する、発酵乳の風味および/または食感の改質方法。
[項30]
発酵乳の製造において、発酵乳に食品用乳化剤を添加する、発酵乳の保管中の酸度上昇の抑制方法。
本発明の発酵乳は、少なくとも食品用乳化剤と、発酵乳としての一般的な成分(例えば、乳酸菌(スターター)や、原料乳に由来するタンパク質、脂肪等)を含有し、必要に応じてさらに、本発明の作用効果が奏される範囲(種類および量)の、一般的または公知の発酵乳が含有するその他の成分を含有することができる。
本発明において、発酵乳とは、日本の食品衛生法に基づく省令である「乳及び乳製品の成分規格等に関する省令」(乳等省令、昭和26年12月27日厚生省令第52号)の定義、または食品の国際規格であるCODEX STANDARD FOR FERMENTED MILKS(CODEX STAN 243-2003)の定義の少なくとも一方を満たし、それぞれに規定されている製造方法によって得られる食品を指す。例えば、上記乳等省令では、発酵乳とは「乳又はこれと同等以上の無脂乳固形分を含む乳等を乳酸菌又は酵母で発酵させ、糊状又は液状にしたもの又はこれらを凍結したもの」と定義されている。このような発酵乳には、ヨーグルト等の固形状発酵乳(セットタイプヨーグルト)、糊状発酵乳(ソフトタイプヨーグルト)および液状発酵乳(ドリンクタイプヨーグルト)が含まれ、本発明の発酵乳はこれらのいずれであってもよい。
本発明における食品用乳化剤は、食品に使用可能な乳化剤であれば特に限定されるものではなく、奏される本発明の作用効果を考慮して、適切なものを選択することができる。
乳酸菌の種類は特に限定されるものではなく、本発明の作用効果が奏されるよう、目的とする発酵乳の性状、風味、用途等に応じて、一般的または公知の発酵乳の製造においてスターターとして用いられている乳酸菌の中から適切に選択することができる。そのような乳酸菌としては、例えば、ラクトバチルス(Lactobacillus)属、ストレプトコッカス(Streptococcus)属、ビフィドバクテリウム(Bifidobacterium)属、などの乳酸菌が挙げられる。乳酸菌は、いずれか1種を単独で用いてもよく、2種以上を併用してもよい。
発酵乳に含まれるタンパク質および脂肪は、原料乳として用いられる牛乳、クリーム等に由来するものである。
本発明の発酵乳が任意で含有することができるその他の成分としては、例えば、砂糖(ショ糖)などの糖類や、甘味料、着色料、増粘剤・安定剤・ゲル化剤(ゼラチン、寒天、ペクチン、カルボキシメチルセルロース(CMC)等)、香料などの食品添加物が挙げられる。
本発明の発酵乳は、食品用乳化剤を添加する処理を含むこと以外は、基本的に従来の発酵乳と同様の方法で製造することができる。前掲「乳及び乳製品の成分規格等に関する省令」(乳等省令、昭和26年12月27日厚生省令第52号)およびCODEX STANDARD FOR FERMENTED MILKS(CODEX STAN 243-2003)には、それぞれで規定する発酵乳の製造方法についても規定されており、基本的にその製造方法に準じつつ、本発明に従って食品用乳化剤を使用した製造方法とすることができる。
食品用乳化剤を含有する(本発明の作用効果との関係で意図的に配合した)原材料組成物を調製する工程(以下「第1調製工程」と呼ぶ。);および
前記原材料組成物に乳酸菌スターターを添加して発酵させる工程(以下「第1発酵工程」と呼ぶ。)。
原材料組成物を調製する工程(以下「第2調製工程」と呼ぶ。);および
前記原材料組成物に乳酸菌スターターを添加して発酵させた後、得られた発酵乳に食品用乳化剤を添加する工程(以下「第2発酵工程」と呼ぶ。)。
以下の説明において、単に「調製工程」と記載した場合は、第1調製工程および第2調製工程を総称しており、両方の実施形態の調製工程に適用できる事項に言及している。また、単に「発酵工程」と記載した場合は、第1発酵工程および第2発酵工程を総称しており、両方の実施形態の発酵工程に適用できる事項に言及している。
調製工程における原材料組成物は、少なくとも原料乳を含み、第1調製工程ではさらに食品用乳化剤を含み、必要に応じて発酵乳の製造に用いることのできるその他の各種の原料または成分、例えば例えば砂糖(ショ糖)などの糖類や、甘味料、着色料、増粘剤・安定剤・ゲル化剤(ゼラチン、寒天、ペクチン、カルボキシメチルセルロース(CMC)等)、香料などの食品添加物をさらに含むことができる。
発酵工程で用いられる乳酸菌スターターの詳細、特に好ましい実施形態(乳酸菌)等については、本発明の発酵乳との関係において本明細書中に記載したことを参照することができる。原材料組成物への乳酸菌スターターの添加量も、常法に従って、適宜調節することができる。
酸度の上昇抑制は、例えば、所定の温度および期間の条件下で発酵乳を保管し、保管開始時(日)および保管終了時(日)の酸度を設定し、酸度の上昇幅を求めることにより確認することができる。例えば、第2製造方法に従って、発酵後に得られた発酵乳に食品用乳化剤を添加したもの(本発明品)と、添加しなかったもの(対照品)のそれぞれについて、所定の温度(例えば、4~10℃、11~20℃、または21~30℃)で、所定の期間(例えば、14日間)保管し、保管の前後で酸度を測定し、本発明品の上昇幅が対照品の上昇幅より小さいことをもって、あるいは保管温度をx、酸度の上昇幅をyとしたときに前記所定の関係式を満たすことをもって、保管中の酸度の上昇の抑制効果が奏されていると判断することができる。
本発明の発酵乳の風味および/または食感の改質方法は、発酵乳の製造において原材料組成物に食品用乳化剤を配合することを含む。このような発酵乳の風味および/または食感の改質方法に関する技術的事項、例えば、食品用乳化剤等の好ましい実施形態(種類、含量等)などは、本明細書の記載された、本発明の発酵乳およびその製造方法(第1製造方法)に関する技術的事項を適宜適用することができる。
本発明の発酵乳の保管中の酸度上昇の抑制方法は、発酵後に得られた発酵乳に食品用乳化剤を添加することを含む。このような発酵乳の保管中の酸度上昇の抑制方法に関する技術的事項、例えば、食品用乳化剤等の好ましい実施形態(種類、含量等)などは、本明細書の記載された、本発明の発酵乳およびその製造方法(第2製造方法)に関する技術的事項を適宜適用することができる。
