Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of food processing technology, and in particular to a soybean flavor peptide capable of inhibiting the acid stimulation of food, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] As one of the five basic flavors, sourness occupies an important position in the food industry. In addition to condiments such as vinegar that are produced and sold specifically to provide sourness, many local delicacies and snack foods also use sourness as their main selling point and characteristic flavor. Taking vinegar as an example, domestic vinegar has many subdivided categories based on the raw materials used, origin, production method, product use and other characteristics. The sourness is mainly provided by substances such as acetic acid produced during the fermentation of grain raw materials. However, due to problems such as improper control of production technology and raw material selection in some vinegar products, the products contain too much acetic acid and other substances, or artificial synthetic acidulants are added for cost control and other reasons, which may cause the vinegar to have a harsh sour taste, strong irritation in the mouth, and too heavy sour taste, which will affect the product quality and application performance.

[0003] In addition to vinegar, some snack foods also have sourness as their main characteristic flavor. For example, lemon chicken feet are mainly made from chicken feet and lemon juice, and are deeply loved by consumers for their refreshing sweet and sour flavor. However, this type of food is also limited by cost, raw materials, technology and other reasons. Some products have too strong sour taste, and the characteristic flavor is too sour for some consumers, thus affecting the consumer's eating experience. For this type of condiments, dishes or snack foods with sourness as the main flavor, the industry currently has a way to reduce the sour stimulation and increase the sourness. On the one hand, reduce the addition of sour substances such as vinegar and fruit juice, and on the other hand, increase other flavor substances such as white sugar, salt, soy sauce, etc. to balance the overall flavor of the food and reduce the prominence of the sour taste.

[0004] On the one hand, the above method may increase the overall production cost of the product, on the other hand, the effect of suppressing the sour and astringent stimulation cannot be guaranteed, and it may also destroy the overall taste and flavor of the product itself, resulting in a decline in product quality. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present application is to overcome the deficiencies of the above-mentioned prior art and to provide a soybean flavor peptide that inhibits the acid stimulation of food and a preparation method and application thereof.

[0021] The present invention uses soybeans / defatted soybeans as raw materials, inoculates Aspergillus oryzae for fermentation, and uses Aspergillus oryzae protease as one of the enzyme sources for later hydrolysis. In addition, the Aspergillus oryzae protease produced by Aspergillus oryzae fermentation metabolism can be used to prepare soybean flavor peptides with a specific molecular weight that can inhibit the sour and astringent taste of food.

[0022] In some specific embodiments, the fermentation time is 38 to 42 hours.

[0023] As a preferred embodiment of the method for preparing soybean flavor peptides described in the present application, in step S1, the fermentation step includes:

[0024] The soybeans / defatted soybeans are fully stirred at 16-17h, 23-24h, and 28-29h after the start of fermentation.
