Abstract
Description
A high-temperature sterilization resistant solid fat analog and its processing technology Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of food processing technology, specifically to a high-temperature sterilization resistant solid fat analog and its processing technology. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, low-fat products have become increasingly popular among consumers, and fat analogs have become a hot research topic in the food industry. However, common fat analogs on the market often have the defect of a low melting point, which can cause products with added fat analogs to melt and collapse internally during high-temperature sterilization or further processing, thus affecting product quality.
[0003] A search revealed that Chinese patent CN107751978A discloses a compound fat mimicry of barley β-glucan and gluten powder and its preparation method. The method involves mixing and homogenizing extruded gluten powder with an aqueous solution of barley β-glucan to obtain the compound fat mimicry of barley β-glucan and gluten powder.
[0004] The fat analogs prepared by the above methods do not take into account the need for high-temperature sterilization in the further processing of fat analogs. At the same time, Chinese patent CN113973930B discloses a block-shaped fat analog based on long-chain fatty acid liposomes and its preparation method. The temperature used for thermal stability testing of the fat analog prepared by this method is relatively low, and the thermal stability of the prepared product is poor, which cannot meet the standards for wide application. High-temperature sterilization is an important part of food processing and cannot be ignored. Therefore, improving the melting point of fat analogs is of great significance.
[0005] Soybean seed coat polysaccharide is a biomolecule prepared from soybean seed coat. It possesses certain thickening and gelling properties, maintaining protein stability and suspension in various acidic environments. It can emulsify proteins and fats, forming stable emulsions unaffected by acids, alkalis, salts, and temperatures. It can be used as an emulsion stabilizer in products. Soybean seed coat polysaccharide is also a high-quality water-soluble dietary fiber, with a fiber content exceeding 80%. It can be used in various foods and health products that require dietary fiber supplementation, increasing satiety, preventing obesity, and potentially treating some gastrointestinal diseases, while reducing the likelihood of diabetes and colon cancer. Therefore, soybean seed coat polysaccharide has the potential to mimic fats.
[0006] This patent mainly uses soybean seed coat polysaccharide, locust bean gum, and sodium alginate as the main raw materials to explore the effects of different proportions of soybean seed coat polysaccharide on the thermal stability, melting point, and rheological properties of the prepared solid fat mimics. The aim is to enable soybean seed coat polysaccharide to better simulate the state of animal solid fat, so that the fat mimics can meet the high-temperature sterilization conditions, thereby broadening the application range of the fat mimics. Summary of the Invention

[0014] S5. After cooling the prepared composite gel, store it for later use. Subsequently, according to production needs, process the composite gel into different sizes and shapes to obtain the finished product of high-temperature sterilization solid fat analog.
[0015] Preferably, the mass ratio of soybean seed coat polysaccharide in the final mixed gel powder is 0, 1 / 7, 1 / 4, 1 / 3, or 1 / 2 (w / w).
[0016] Preferably, in step S1, the speed of the vacuum high-speed chopper is 3000 r / min, and the chopping time is 3 to 6 min.

[0058] Furthermore, the high-temperature sterilization resistant solid fat mimic provided in this comparative example includes the following preparation steps:
[0059] Step 1: Using a vacuum high-speed chopper, mix the powdered raw materials of locust bean gum and sodium alginate with 162g of water at a speed of 3000r / min for 3min.
[0060] Step 2: After the system has stabilized, add 40g of corn oil and then chop at 3000r / min for 3min;
[0061] Step 3: Add 20 mL of 3.00% (w / v) sodium carbonate solution and homogenize at 3000 r / min for 3 min.
[0062] Step 4: Pour the mixture into a mold and heat it in a water bath at 90°C for 60 minutes.
[0063] Step 5: Cool the prepared composite gel to room temperature and store it at 4°C for later use. Process the gel into different sizes and shapes according to production needs to obtain the finished product of solid fat analog that can withstand high temperature sterilization.
[0064] The invention will be further described below with reference to specific performance tests:
[0065] Method for determining the thermal stability of fat analogs: Weigh 5g of the composite gel samples provided in Examples 1-4 and comparative examples into centrifuge tubes, heat in a water bath at 90°C for 30min, wipe the liquid precipitated on the sample surface dry, weigh and record the mass of the solid portion of the sample, and repeat the measurement three times for each group of samples.
[0066] DSC assay method for fat mimics: Weigh approximately 4 mg of sample and record its exact mass to three decimal places. Seal the sample in an aluminum crucible and incubate at room temperature for approximately 5 minutes. Use an empty sealed aluminum crucible as a control. Use nitrogen as a protective gas. 气体 The flow rate was 20 mL / min, and the temperature range was 70–200 °C. 升温 The speed is 10℃ / min. Before each formal measurement, the sample chamber is run empty to evaporate the moisture. Each group of samples is measured three times.
[0067] 1. High-temperature thermal stability analysis of solid fat simulants:
[0068] Please refer to Table 1. When the fat mimic is heated to 90℃, the gel undergoes some melting. However, within the same heating time, the thermal stability of the solid fat mimic containing soybean seed coat polysaccharide is significantly better than that of the control group without soybean seed coat polysaccharide. Furthermore, the thermal stability of the fat mimic significantly increases with the increase of soybean seed coat polysaccharide (p<0.05). This is because the interaction between soybean seed coat polysaccharide, locust bean gum, and sodium alginate forms a denser three-dimensional spatial structure, which gives the fat substitute excellent gelling properties, thereby enhancing its high-temperature thermal stability. The melting points of common meat fats are: mutton fat 44-55℃, pork fat 28-48℃, and beef fat 40-50℃. Therefore, fat mimics with added soybean dietary fiber can well meet the needs of production and processing.
[0069] Table 1. Effects of adding different proportions of soybean seed coat polysaccharide (0, 1 / 7, 1 / 4, 1 / 3, 1 / 2) on the high-temperature thermal stability of fat mimics.
[0070]
[0071] Note: Different letters indicate significant differences (p < 0.05).
[0072] 2. DSC analysis of solid fat mimicry:
[0073] The DSC analysis results of solid fat mimics with different proportions of soybean seed coat polysaccharide are shown in Table 2. It can be seen that the endothermic peak at 115.88℃ of the comparative composite gel without soybean seed coat polysaccharide is mainly caused by water evaporation. Even with the addition of a small amount of soybean seed coat polysaccharide, the melting point of the fat mimic increased to 133.25℃.
[0074] As the amount of soybean seed coat polysaccharide added increases, the melting temperature of the fat mimic also gradually increases. The enthalpy changes of the comparative example without added soybean seed coat polysaccharide and Examples 1-4 with added soybean seed coat polysaccharide ratios of 1 / 7, 1 / 4, 1 / 3, and 1 / 2 are 1683 J / g, 1601 J / g, 1562 J / g, 1365 J / g, and 1325 J / g, respectively. According to the melting point data in the table, Examples 1-4 with added soybean seed coat polysaccharide can meet the high-temperature sterilization requirements of 100-121°C in meat processing. The fat mimic provided in the comparative example may melt under high-temperature steam sterilization conditions, which may lead to internal collapse of the product and affect product quality.
[0075] Table 2. Effects of adding different proportions of soybean seed coat polysaccharide (0, 1 / 7, 1 / 4, 1 / 3, 1 / 2) on the melting point and enthalpy change of fat mimics.
[0076]
[0077] Specifically, in the embodiments of the present invention, when using locust bean gum and sodium alginate to simulate solid fat, the addition of soybean seed coat polysaccharide can improve many properties of the composite gel, especially the thermal stability and melting point of the fat simulant. When heated at high temperature, some juice can seep out from the pores of the gel, and the gel as a whole does not collapse and can still maintain its shape. This can better simulate the changes that occur in animal solid meat fat after high-temperature processing.
[0078] Meanwhile, the addition of soybean seed coat polysaccharide has a melting point higher than the general sterilization temperature for meat product processing, ensuring that the product quality remains stable during high-temperature sterilization. Therefore, the high-temperature sterilization resistant solid fat analog provided in this invention has practical guiding significance and reference value for the high-temperature resistance improvement of fat analogs. Moreover, the raw materials for the solid fat analog are readily available and the production cost is low. The finished product has high thermal stability and high melting point characteristics, which can meet the high-temperature sterilization conditions commonly used in meat products. It does not easily melt under high-temperature processing conditions, making it convenient to use as an ingredient in various products.
[0079] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
