Description
本発明は、冷凍麺及びソースを有し、冷凍温度帯で保存、流通及び/又は販売され、喫食時に電子レンジ等によって加熱解凍される冷凍麺食品に関する。
The present invention relates to a frozen noodle food that has frozen noodles and sauces, is stored, distributed and / or sold in a freezing temperature zone, and is heated and thawed by a microwave oven or the like at the time of eating.
冷凍麺食品としては従来、調理済み麺の上にソースが添加された状態で冷凍された、いわゆるワンディッシュタイプが一般的である。例えば特許文献1には、ワンディッシュタイプの冷凍パスタが記載されている。ワンディッシュタイプの冷凍麺食品は、冷凍麺及びソースが一体となった冷凍固化物を有し、該冷凍固化物の冷凍状態の維持が可能な冷凍温度帯で保存、流通及び/又は販売され、喫食時には、該冷凍固化物を電子レンジ等によって加熱解凍することで喫食可能な状態とされる。
As a frozen noodle food, a so-called one-dish type that is frozen with a sauce added on cooked noodles is generally used. For example, Patent Document 1 describes a one-dish type frozen pasta. One dish type frozen noodle food has a frozen solidified product in which frozen noodles and sauce are integrated, and is stored, distributed and / or sold in a freezing temperature range in which the frozen solidified product can be maintained in a frozen state, At the time of eating, the frozen and solidified product can be eaten by heating and thawing with a microwave oven or the like.
特許文献2には、パスタソースなどの液状又はペースト状食品組成物を容器に収容した状態で冷凍すると、該食品組成物が完全に硬化して容器から取り出したり、必要量を取り分けたりすることが困難になるという課題があることに鑑み、この課題を解決するために、該食品組成物の組成をα化していない澱粉、糖質及び水を含有するものとし、且つ該食品組成物の水分量を特定範囲とすることが記載されている。特許文献2記載技術によれば、冷凍状態においても完全に硬化することなく、加えられた湯や水に速やかにかつ均一に分散することができる冷凍食品組成物が得られるとされている。
Patent Document 2 discloses that when a liquid or pasty food composition such as pasta sauce is frozen in a state of being contained in a container, the food composition is completely cured and taken out of the container, or the necessary amount can be separated. In view of the problem that it becomes difficult, in order to solve this problem, it is assumed that the food composition contains starch, saccharides and water that are not pregelatinized, and the water content of the food composition Is described as a specific range. According to the technique described in Patent Document 2, a frozen food composition that can be quickly and uniformly dispersed in added hot water or water without being completely cured even in a frozen state is obtained.
特許文献3には、pH5以下の酸性食品と接触した状態で加熱した場合や、該酸性食品と接触した状態で長期保存する場合であっても、乳化が壊れオイルオフを生じず、凝集や固化し難く、滑らかな食感を有するクリームとして、融点30℃以下の油脂及びHLB値14以上のショ糖脂肪酸エステルを含有する耐酸性クリームが記載され、また、該酸性食品の例示として、パスタソースが記載されている。特許文献3には、この耐酸性クリームを冷凍させることは記載されていない。
In Patent Document 3, even when heated in contact with an acidic food having a pH of 5 or lower, or when stored for a long time in contact with the acidic food, the emulsification is broken and no oil-off occurs, and aggregation or solidification occurs. An acid-resistant cream containing an oil and fat having a melting point of 30 ° C. or less and a sucrose fatty acid ester having an HLB value of 14 or more is described as a cream having a difficult and smooth texture. As an example of the acidic food, pasta sauce is Are listed. Patent Document 3 does not describe freezing the acid-resistant cream.
冷凍麺食品におけるソースには通常、油脂が含有されているところ、該油脂の曇点(融点)は、該冷凍麺食品を解凍調理して得られる麺食品の食味食感に少なからず影響を及ぼす。例えば、比較的曇点(融点)の低い油脂を含有するソースは風味が良好で、麺と混合して麺食品として喫食した場合には、比較的軽い食感が楽しめる。
The sauce in frozen noodle foods usually contains fats and oils, and the cloud point (melting point) of the fats and oils has a considerable impact on the taste of the noodle foods obtained by thawing the frozen noodle foods. . For example, a sauce containing fats and oils having a relatively low cloud point (melting point) has a good flavor, and when mixed with noodles and eaten as a noodle food, a relatively light texture can be enjoyed.
しかしながら、ソースに含有されている油脂の曇点(融点)が低いと、該ソースの低温における流動性が高まるため、例えば、ワンディッシュタイプの冷凍麺食品の製造時において、調理済み麺の上にソースを添加した状態で冷凍した場合に、麺は冷凍しても、ソースは冷凍せずに流動性を有したままとなって、冷凍麺及びソースが一体となった冷凍固化物を効率良く製造できず、冷凍麺食品の生産性が低下するという問題が生じるおそれがある。また、ワンディッシュタイプの冷凍麺食品の喫食時において、該冷凍麺食品(即ち冷凍麺及びソースの一体化物)を電子レンジで加熱解凍した場合に、該冷凍麺食品におけるソースに低曇点(低融点)の油脂が含有されていると、該ソースは冷凍麺よりも早い段階で解凍されるため、該ソースがレンジ加熱による過加熱のダメージを受けやすく、特にソースの風味が低下するという問題がある。
However, when the cloud point (melting point) of the fats and oils contained in the sauce is low, the fluidity of the sauce at a low temperature increases, so that, for example, in the production of a one-dish type frozen noodle food, When frozen with the sauce added, even if the noodles are frozen, the sauce remains free-flowing and the frozen noodles and sauce are integrated into an efficient production of frozen solids. There is a risk that the productivity of frozen noodle foods may be reduced. In addition, when the one-dish type frozen noodle food is eaten, when the frozen noodle food (ie, an integrated product of frozen noodles and sauce) is heated and thawed in a microwave oven, the low cloud point (low When the oil of melting point) is contained, the sauce is thawed at an earlier stage than frozen noodles, so that the sauce is easily damaged by overheating due to range heating, and the flavor of the sauce is particularly lowered. is there.

本発明の冷凍麺食品は、冷凍麺及びソースを有し、該冷凍麺の冷凍状態の維持が可能な冷凍温度帯、具体的には例えば-18℃以下、より具体的には-25~-18℃で保存、流通及び/又は販売されるものである。
The frozen noodle food of the present invention has a frozen noodle and a sauce, and a frozen temperature range in which the frozen noodle can be maintained in a frozen state, specifically, for example, −18 ° C. or less, more specifically −25 to − It is stored, distributed and / or sold at 18 ° C.
本発明の冷凍麺食品の主たる特徴の1つとして、冷凍麺及びソースを各々独立した状態で有する点が挙げられる。即ち、本発明の冷凍麺食品においては、従来のワンディッシュタイプの冷凍麺食品のように冷凍麺とソースとが一体となっておらず、両者が互いに分離可能に存在している。斯かる構成により、本発明の冷凍麺食品を喫食する際には、冷凍麺及びソースそれぞれに対して適切な解凍処理を個別に行うことが可能である。具体的には例えば、冷凍麺のみを電子レンジで加熱解凍し、ソースは加熱解凍しないか、又は別の方法(例えば、ソースを室温の環境に放置する方法、ソースに流水を当てて解凍する方法など)で解凍する、というような処理が可能である。これにより、ワンディッシュタイプの冷凍麺食品を電子レンジで加熱解凍した場合に懸念される、ソースのレンジ加熱による過加熱のダメージが未然に防止され、ソース本来の良好な風味が楽しめるようになる。また、本発明に係るソースは、後述するように、含有されている油脂の曇点(融点)が比較的低く、それ故、低温下での流動性が比較的高いため、仮に、ワンディッシュタイプの冷凍麺食品を製造する場合と同様に、調理済み麺の上に該ソースを添加した状態で冷凍すると、麺だけ冷凍してソースは冷凍しないという不都合が起こり得るが、本発明の冷凍麺食品を製造する場合には、冷凍麺及びソースを各々独立した状態で有するようにするために、このような両者を一体的に冷凍する方法は通常採用されないので、斯かる不都合が起こり難く、高品質の冷凍麺食品を効率良く製造することが可能である。
One of the main characteristics of the frozen noodle food of the present invention is that it has frozen noodles and sauces in an independent state. That is, in the frozen noodle food of the present invention, the frozen noodle and the sauce are not integrated as in the conventional one-dish type frozen noodle food, and both are separable from each other. With such a configuration, when eating the frozen noodle food of the present invention, it is possible to individually perform an appropriate thawing process for each of the frozen noodle and the sauce. Specifically, for example, only frozen noodles are heated and thawed in a microwave oven, and the sauce is not heated and thawed, or another method (for example, a method of leaving the sauce in a room temperature environment, a method of thawing by applying running water to the sauce) Etc.) can be performed. As a result, overheating damage caused by heating the sauce range, which is a concern when one-dish type frozen noodle foods are heated and thawed in a microwave oven, is prevented in advance, and the original good flavor of the sauce can be enjoyed. In addition, as will be described later, the sauce according to the present invention has a relatively low cloud point (melting point) of the contained fat and oil, and therefore has a relatively high fluidity at low temperatures. As in the case of producing the frozen noodle food, the frozen noodle food of the present invention may be inconvenient if the noodle is frozen while the sauce is added to the cooked noodle. In order to have the frozen noodle and the sauce in an independent state, such a method of freezing the two in an integrated manner is not usually employed, so that such inconvenience hardly occurs and high quality It is possible to efficiently produce a frozen noodle food.
前記の「冷凍麺及びソースを各々独立した状態で有する」の具体例として、冷凍麺とソースとがそれぞれ個別に包装された形態、即ち、冷凍麺が包装袋や包装箱などの包装材で包装され、ソースが該包装材とは別体の包装材で包装された形態を例示できる。尤も、本発明における冷凍麺及びソースの含有形態はこれに制限されず、本発明の趣旨を逸脱しない範囲で種々の形態を採用することができる。
As a specific example of the above-mentioned “having frozen noodles and sauces in an independent state”, frozen noodles and sauces are individually packaged, that is, frozen noodles are packaged in a packaging material such as a packaging bag or a packaging box. The source is packaged with a packaging material separate from the packaging material. However, the content of the frozen noodles and the sauce in the present invention is not limited to this, and various forms can be adopted without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
本発明の冷凍麺食品は、典型的には、箱や袋などの包装容器に収容され、その包装容器ごと、冷凍麺の冷凍状態の維持が可能な冷凍温度帯で保存、流通及び/又は販売される。この包装容器の内部には、冷凍麺及びソースが各々独立した状態で存在する。
The frozen noodle food of the present invention is typically stored in a packaging container such as a box or a bag, and the whole packaging container is stored, distributed and / or sold in a freezing temperature range in which the frozen state of the frozen noodle can be maintained. Is done. Inside the packaging container, frozen noodles and sauce are present in an independent state.
本発明の冷凍麺食品の主たる特徴の他の1つとして、本発明に係るソースが、0℃で凝固せず且つ曇点-5℃以下の低曇点油脂を含有する点が挙げられる。これにより、本発明に係るソースは風味が良好で、麺(本発明に係る冷凍麺を解凍して得られる調理済み麺)と混合して麺食品として喫食した場合には、比較的軽い食感が楽しめる。特に、麺食品が冷製パスタなどの冷製麺食品の場合には、良好なソースの風味と軽い食感がより一層確実に楽しめる。従来のワンディッシュタイプの冷凍麺食品におけるソースにこのような低曇点油脂が含有されていると、冷凍麺食品の生産性の低下、喫食時の加熱解凍に起因するソースの過加熱によるダメージなどの不都合が懸念されるが、本発明の冷凍麺食品は前述した通り、冷凍麺及びソースを各々独立した状態で有するため、斯かる懸念が払拭されており、生産性に優れ、また喫食時には、冷凍麺のみを電子レンジなどで加熱解凍することで、低曇点油脂を含有する風味良好なソースを楽しむことができる。前記低曇点油脂の曇点は、好ましくは-10℃以下である。油脂の曇点は下記方法により測定される。
Another example of the main characteristic of the frozen noodle food of the present invention is that the sauce according to the present invention does not solidify at 0 ° C. and contains a low cloud point oil or fat having a cloud point of −5 ° C. or lower. As a result, the sauce according to the present invention has a good flavor, and when mixed with noodles (cooked noodles obtained by thawing the frozen noodles according to the present invention) and eaten as noodle food, a relatively light texture Can enjoy. In particular, when the noodle food is a cold noodle food such as cold pasta, a good sauce flavor and a light texture can be more reliably enjoyed. If the sauce in conventional one-dish type frozen noodle foods contains such low cloud point oils and fats, the productivity of frozen noodle foods will be reduced, damage due to overheating of the sauce due to heating and thawing during eating, etc. However, since the frozen noodle food of the present invention has the frozen noodle and the sauce in an independent state as described above, such concerns have been eliminated, and the productivity is excellent. By thawing only frozen noodles with a microwave oven or the like, it is possible to enjoy a flavorful sauce containing a low cloud point oil. The cloud point of the low cloud point oil is preferably −10 ° C. or lower. The cloud point of fats and oils is measured by the following method.
