Description

The present invention relates to a pasta food product having a strong taste , and more particularly to a pasta food product prepared by adding pasta sauce to boiled noodles in advance .

  Pasta dishes, especially oil-type pasta typified by peperoncino, are made by boiling boiled pasta with olive oil and adding seasonings, spices, and vegetables. However, since oil-type pasta is mainly composed of fat and oil, most of the pasta sauce is difficult to season and has a weak taste, so a sauce for oil pasta that can be easily seasoned is desired. ing. On the other hand, Japanese-style pasta sauce such as mushroom sauce and grated sauce has a lot of moisture and low oil content, so when it is mixed with pasta, the sauce quickly absorbs the moisture of the sauce and the noodles themselves are stretched. As a result, so-called soft pasta with no waist is formed, and the merchantability is greatly reduced. In addition, an emulsified sauce (cream type pasta sauce) in which an oil and fat component and an aqueous phase mainly composed of a seasoning liquid are completely emulsified in an oil-in-water type has been manufactured, but constitutes the sauce Since the oil droplets of the emulsion are fine and the outer phase is moisture, the penetration of the sauce into the pasta is improved. Therefore, as with pasta sauce in Japanese style, when it is mixed with pasta, the water content of the sauce is rapidly absorbed into the noodle itself, resulting in a soft pasta with no soup. descend. For the reasons described above, it has been difficult to produce a product that has been previously mixed with pasta sauce and noodles.

  Therefore, a pasta sauce consisting of an oil phase part that is separated upon standing and an aqueous phase part containing xanthan gum, the weight ratio of the oil phase part to the aqueous phase part being in the range of 1: 1.5 to 1: 4 According to this, it is said that pasta can be seasoned to an oil type by simply adding it to boiled pasta (Patent Document 1). However, in this method, since it is in a separated state at the time of standing, the aqueous phase part directly touches the noodles, and the problem remains that the noodles are easy to spread and the commercial property is greatly reduced.

Also, in cream type pasta sauce, prepare a concentrated pasta sauce with high viscosity that contains waxy starch, wheat starch, processed starch, etc., fill the container, then heat sterilize, and at a certain viscosity range at room temperature By using this pasta sauce, it is possible not only to suppress variation in the amount of ingredients to be filled, but also to improve the adhesion to pasta and provide a good texture (Patent Document) 2). However, in this method, when the pasta sauce is added to the boiled pasta and then mixed, the water quickly moves to the noodles and is absorbed, so the noodles are easy to spread, and the pasta sauce is added to the noodles in advance. Not suitable for pasta products.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-75747 JP-A-8-266253

An object of the present invention, Yes dare adding pasta sauce in advance boiled pasta, after a storage state of remains tossed, just cooked microwaved heating or the like at the time of eating, of the finish delicious pasta It is to provide a new pasta food that can be made.

  As a result of intensive studies to solve the above problems, the present inventors have obtained an oil phase part containing an oil and emulsifier having an SFC of 10% or more at 20 ° C. and an aqueous phase part containing a seasoning. By emulsifying in a water-in-oil type at a specific ratio and demulsifying by reheating cooking such as microwave heating at the time of eating, the taste is strong, and the moisture in the sauce does not migrate to the noodles The present inventors have found that a pasta sauce that is difficult to stretch can be obtained, and have completed the present invention.

That is, the first aspect of the present invention is an oil phase part containing at least one emulsifier selected from the group consisting of an oil and fat having an SFC of 10% or more at 20 ° C., a glycerin fatty acid ester, a sucrose unsaturated fatty acid ester, and lecithin. And a water phase part containing a seasoning, the weight ratio of the oil phase part to the water phase part is in the range of 90/10 to 30/70, and the amount of the emulsifier is 0.01 to 1% by weight. In addition, the present invention relates to a pasta food product characterized in that pasta sauce emulsified in a water-in-oil type is refrigerated or frozen in a state of being added to boiled noodles . 2nd of this invention is related with the said pasta foodstuffs preserve | saved in the refrigerated state of 0 to 10 degreeC after mixing pasta sauce with boiled noodles . 3rd of this invention is related with the said pasta foodstuff which preserve | saved frozen at -20 degrees C or less after mixing pasta sauce with boiled noodles .

  The pasta sauce of the present invention is a water-in-oil emulsion, the water phase part is protected by the oil phase part, and in addition to the boiled pasta, it is tempered in a refrigerated distribution, etc. Demulsification is achieved by reheating cooking such as heating, and since the aqueous phase comes into contact with the noodles for the first time at the time of eating, the noodles can be prevented from spreading and finished into a delicious pasta with high commercial value. In particular, with conventional oil-type pasta sauces, it has been difficult to add a seasoning component such as an extract, that is, a water-soluble flavor component. However, with the pasta sauce of the present invention, the water-soluble flavor component is added to the oil phase. It becomes very easy to mix | blend with a part simultaneously.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail. Oils and fats used in the present invention are not particularly problematic as long as they are edible, but for example, corn oil, sesame oil, tung oil, safflower oil, pod oil, walnut oil, coconut oil, sunflower oil, cottonseed oil Rapeseed oil, soybean oil, pepper oil, kapok oil, rice bran oil, sesame oil, onion oil, peanut oil, olive oil, coconut oil, castor oil, coconut oil, palm oil, palm kernel oil, cocoa butter, shea fat, Animal oils such as fish oil, whale oil, beef tallow, pork tallow, milk tallow, sheep tallow, etc. are used, and fats and oils obtained by processing such as hardening, transesterification, fractionation, etc., or using these fats and oils as a base A flavor oil or fat called so-called flavor oil from which flavor substances such as garlic and onion are extracted can be appropriately selected according to the purpose, and at least one of them can be used. However, it is important that the SFC at 20 ° C. is 10% or more, and only the fats and oils having an SFC of 10% or more at 20 ° C. may be used. If the SFC at 20 ° C. of these mixed oils is 10% or more, they can be used. Examples of oils and fats that are liquid at 20 ° C. include garlic oil extracted by cooking garlic by heating using olive oil or palm fractionated oil as a base oil.

  In the present invention, it is considered that the oil-and-fat crystals structurally take in water to stabilize the water-in-oil type emulsification. Without the oil and fat crystal component, the emulsification becomes unstable and the commercial value is large. descend. In addition, since the amount of emulsifier used can be greatly reduced by stabilizing the emulsification with fat crystals, the water-in-oil stabilized with the fat crystals is used instead of forming a strong water-in-oil emulsification structure with so-called emulsifiers. It has a mold emulsion structure. Therefore, since the crystal component melts due to the temperature rise during heating, complete demulsification becomes possible. On the other hand, in a strong water-in-oil emulsification with an emulsifier, the de-emulsification is insufficient and remains in an emulsified state only by a temperature rise due to cooking heating such as microwave heating, and the aqueous phase is completely separated. Not only does the taste decrease, but also the appearance of the mixture of emulsions in the sauce is not good, and the merchantability is significantly reduced. As described above, it is very important in the present invention to stabilize the water-in-oil type emulsified structure by the oil and fat crystal component.

  Further, regarding the storage, although it depends on the period, after the pasta sauce of the present invention is produced, it is preferably stored in a refrigerated state at 0 ° C. to 10 ° C. after being blended with boiled noodles. It is more preferable if it is stored frozen at −20 ° C. or lower. Unless refrigerated storage is performed under the above conditions, the emulsified state may be broken depending on the combination of the SFC of fats and oils and the amount of emulsifier depending on the storage conditions at room temperature.

  The emulsifier used in the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it is edible, but glycerin fatty acid ester, sucrose unsaturated fatty acid ester, and lecithin are preferable. Regarding the amount of emulsifier used, the amount of emulsifier required for water-in-oil emulsification tends to increase as the blending ratio of the water phase part increases, but is preferably 0.01 to 1% by weight in the whole pasta sauce. 0.02 to 0.5% by weight is more preferable. When the amount of the emulsifier is less than 0.01% by weight, water-in-oil emulsification cannot be sufficiently obtained, and the pasta or pasta sauce may be separated after production. If the amount of the emulsifier is more than 1% by weight, the water-in-oil emulsification is too strong and does not demulsify even by cooking heating such as microwave heating, and the unfavorable flavor derived from the emulsifier affects the pasta, and the taste is not good. May decrease. As for the properties of the emulsifier, when the oil phase is produced by stirring without heating and dissolving, it is preferably liquid or paste at 25 ° C. from the viewpoint of developing emulsifying power, It is preferred to dissolve in the part of the oil phase, or to dissolve and use the emulsifier itself in the oil phase. However, when manufacturing by the method of heating an oil phase part and emulsifying with a water phase part under the high temperature of 60 degreeC or more, it does not ask | require about the property of an emulsifier.

  Further, in order to stabilize the emulsified state of the pasta sauce of the present invention and improve the quality, a thickener, gelling agent, starch, dextrin, protein, salt, saccharide, alcohol, acid, perfume, antioxidant, It is permissible to use coloring agents, spices and the like.

  In the pasta sauce of the present invention, the weight ratio of the oil phase part to the water phase part is preferably in the range of 90/10 to 30/70. When the weight ratio of the oil phase part to the water phase part is larger than 90/10, it may be difficult to mix a taste ingredient such as a seasoning liquid in the water phase part, which is not preferable. On the other hand, if the weight ratio of the oil phase part to the water phase part is smaller than 30/70, water-in-oil emulsification cannot be obtained satisfactorily, and the pasta product after pasta sauce production or with the pasta sauce and boiled noodles Emulsification may break after production.

  The manufacture example of the pasta sauce of this invention is illustrated below. Garlic oil (heat extracted from palm fractionated oil as base oil) is added to refined lard as fat and oil in a room adjusted to 20 ° C., and it is not heated and dissolved, but also as sucrose unsaturated fatty acid ester and lecithin Are added and mixed to obtain an oil phase part. On the other hand, seasonings such as salt, saccharides and extracts are added to water, sterilized by heating, and cooled to obtain an aqueous phase. While stirring the oil phase with a pressure mixer, homomixer, or other stirring / mixing emulsifier, gradually add the water phase to emulsify into a water-in-oil type, and then add spices such as red chili powder. And the pasta sauce of this invention is obtained. It should be noted that spices such as red chili powder may be pre-mixed in the aqueous phase. Moreover, about an aqueous phase part, there are many compounding quantities of salt and saccharides, and it is also possible to abbreviate | omit a heat sterilization process if there is no sanitary problem.

  Moreover, the pasta sauce of this invention can also be manufactured as follows. That is, glycerin fatty acid ester and lecithin are added as an emulsifier to a refined lard added with garlic oil and dissolved by heating to obtain an oil phase part. On the other hand, seasonings such as salt, saccharides and extracts, and spices such as red pepper powder are added to water and sterilized by heating to obtain an aqueous phase. The water phase part is gradually added to the oil phase part and mixed, and after emulsification into a water-in-oil type by a stirring operation such as a propeller stirrer, the pasta sauce of the present invention is obtained by a kneading operation while cooling.

  As described above, stirring and emulsification operations should be appropriately selected depending on whether or not the oil phase part is heated and dissolved, but considering the reduction of flavor and aroma components derived from spices such as garlic and red pepper by heating. It is preferable that the oil phase part and the water phase part are produced by a method that does not dissolve by heating.

  Then, after pasting the pasta sauce produced as described above into a pasta noodle that has been boiled in advance, it is refrigerated or frozen.

  The pasta sauce of the present invention can be used for all types of pasta such as oil-type pasta and Japanese-style pasta.
