Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of edible flavor preparation, and particularly to a preparation method of a special fermented yogurt flavor. Background Art

[0002] Fermented yogurt has become a popular category in the global food market due to its health attributes and unique flavor. As the core flavor source, fermented yogurt flavors are widely used in dairy products, baking, snack foods and other fields, and the market demand continues to rise.

[0003] The current mainstream methods for preparing yogurt flavors have significant technical drawbacks: The synthetic blending method relies on the mixing of chemical flavors. Although the process is simple and the cost is low, the aroma is rigid and the layers are single, making it difficult to simulate the complex synergistic effects of the sour aroma, ester aroma and ketone compounds generated by natural fermentation, and the artificial addition property is contrary to the trend of clean labels; The single enzymatic hydrolysis method generates flavor precursors (such as amino acids, polypeptides) by hydrolyzing milk proteins with proteases. Although it can improve the nutritional value, it lacks the synergistic participation of lactic acid bacteria metabolism, is prone to produce bitter peptide by-products, and the production of characteristic aroma substances (such as 2,3-butanedione, acetaldehyde) is insufficient, resulting in a lack of flavor authenticity and fullness; The single-strain fermentation method can produce natural flavor substances through microbial metabolism, but the metabolic pathway is single, the product components are uncontrollable (for example, when Lactobacillus bulgaricus is fermented alone, the ratio of acetaldehyde to butanedione is difficult to stabilize), and affected by factors such as fermentation temperature and substrate concentration, the flavors of different batches of flavors vary significantly, unable to meet the requirements of industrial production for consistency.

[0004] Based on this, a preparation method of a special fermented yogurt flavor is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to propose a preparation method of a special fermented yogurt flavor in order to solve the above problems.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical scheme: A preparation method of a special fermented yogurt flavor, comprising the following steps: S1. Preparation of milk powder solution: Mix skim milk powder and whey powder in a mass ratio of 4:1, take the mixed powder and dissolve it in sterile water at a mass concentration of 20%, heat it to 80°C and keep it for 30 minutes, and cool it to 40-50°C to obtain the milk powder solution before enzymatic hydrolysis; S2. Protease enzymatic hydrolysis: Add 0.05% (calculated based on the total mass of the milk powder solution) of protease to the milk powder solution before enzymatic hydrolysis, and perform oscillating enzymatic hydrolysis at 50°C and 120 r / min for 4 hours; S3. Sterilization: After enzymatic hydrolysis, raise the temperature to 85°C and sterilize for 30 minutes; S4, Fermentation: Inoculate 0.1% (based on the total mass of the sterilized solution) of a compound lactic acid bacteria strain and ferment at 41°C for 16 h. The compound bacteria are composed of Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Streptococcus thermophilus, and Lactobacillus plantarum in a ratio of 2:1:1; S5, Post-fermentation: Post-ferment the fermentation product at 4°C for 24 h; S6, Sterilization and centrifugation: Pasteurize the post-fermented product at 65°C for 30 min, cool it, and then centrifuge at 3500 r / min for 15 min. Take the supernatant; S7, Concentration: Concentrate the supernatant by vacuum distillation to 2 times its original volume to obtain the fermentation supernatant base; S8, Compound: Using the fermentation supernatant base as the raw material, add spices in the following mass percentages: acetic acid 0.8%, butyric acid 2%, isobutyric acid 0.1%, caproic acid 0.1%, caprylic acid 0.05%, capric acid 0.1%, lauric acid 0.03%, ethyl caproate 0.08%, ethyl acetate 0.5%, ethyl butyrate 0.5%, ethyl lactate 0.3%, ethyl caprate 0.1%, 2-undecanone 0.005%, 2-nonanone 0.01%, 2-octanone 0.01%, 2-hexanone 0.01%, 2,3-butanedione 1.5%, 3-hydroxy-2-butanone 0.5%, δ-decalactone 0.1%, δ-dodecalactone 0.2%, acetaldehyde 0.5%, acetaldehyde propylene glycol acetal 0.8%, vanillin 0.2%. Mix at a stirring speed of 300 r / min for 30 min, and then let it stand and age at 4°C for 24 h to prepare a characteristic fermented yogurt flavor.

[0007] Preferably, the protease is the American Multienzyme Complex ProTamEx1.17L and Novozymes FormeaPrime protease.

[0008] Preferably, the inoculation amount of the compound lactic acid bacteria strain in step S4 is 0.1% (w / w), and the inoculated bacteria are compound bacteria, with the components being Lactobacillus bulgaricus: Streptococcus thermophilus: Lactobacillus plantarum = 2:1:1.

[0009] Preferably, the addition order of the spices in step S8 is: first add the acid and ester compounds, then add the ketone and aldehyde compounds, and finally add vanillin.

[0010] Preferably, the whey powder is the American Glanbia AVONLAC WPC80% whey protein powder.

[0011] Preferably, the pressure of the vacuum distillation in step S7 is -0.06 MPa to -0.09 MPa.

[0012] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solutions, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. In this application, the proteins in defatted milk powder are enzymatically hydrolyzed by proteases to produce small-molecule substances such as polypeptides and amino acids, which can enhance the food flavor and provide nutrients for lactic acid bacteria to promote their growth. Combining with the fermentation of lactic acid bacteria can produce more compounds that contribute to the characteristic aroma of yogurt, such as 2-hexanone, 2-octanone, 2-nonanone, etc., making the aroma of the essence richer.

[0013] 2. By subsequently adding spices in this application, the flavor level can be enriched, the quality can be stabilized, the mellow feeling of the taste can be increased, the balance between sour and sweet can be adjusted, the comprehensive competitiveness and market adaptability of the product can be enhanced. The prepared special fermented yogurt essence has a pure, natural, round and full aroma, with the characteristics of a rich and strong natural sour smell and a thick milk fat flavor, and has strong heat resistance, and can maintain a natural and strong yogurt flavor after baking.

The evaluation is as follows in the table:

[0040] As can be seen from the test results, the characteristic fermented yogurt flavor obtained in Examples 1-2 is significantly superior to those in Comparative Examples 1-3 in terms of aroma and baking aroma retention effect, indicating that the present invention effectively improves the flavor and heat resistance of the yogurt flavor by protease hydrolysis combined with fermentation process and adding spices. In Comparative Example 1, there is no hydrolysis and fermentation, and only blending is carried out, with a slight milk aroma and poor aroma retention effect; in Comparative Example 2, there is no hydrolysis, and the flavor and aroma retention effect are also inferior to those in the examples; in Comparative Example 3, no spices are added, with a single aroma and poor aroma retention effect. This fully verifies the effectiveness and superiority of the technical solution of the present invention.

[0041] The above description of the embodiments enables those skilled in the art to implement or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be obvious to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein can be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention will not be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but rather to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
