TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of dairy products, and relates to a milk roll and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] As a derivative form of traditional dairy products, the basic process of milk roll is mostly derived from the formation principle of natural milk skin, that is, after the surface layer of milk is heated to make the protein and fat aggregate and coagulate to form a film, it is rolled into a roll. In the prior art, the preparation method of milk roll is generally simple and extensive, and most of them rely on directly heating milk to form a single milk skin layer, and then rolling up after smearing simple filling (if sauce, syrup, etc.). Although this method is simple to operate, it has significant limitations in product texture, flavor, nutrient retention and shelf life:
[0003] 1) The texture is single, easy to break and rough in taste. The milk skin layer of traditional milk roll often relies on the thermal denaturation of milk protein to form, which has a dense but fragile structure, lacks elasticity and toughness, and is easy to break and break during rolling, storage and consumption. At the same time, since the milk protein is not pretreated, the formed milk skin is often rough, uneven in hardness, and lacks level in taste.
[0004] 2) The flavor is monotonous, and the filling and milk skin have poor combination. The existing milk roll often smears flavor filling in the outer milk skin, but the filling is often simply attached to the surface and cannot be deeply integrated with the milk skin structure, resulting in the filling being easy to fall off and unevenly distributed when cutting or chewing. In addition, the milk skin itself has a single flavor, lacking the rich milk fragrance and complex flavor brought by fermentation or enzymolysis.
[0005] 3) Short shelf life, easy to lose water or deteriorate. Since the traditional milk roll does not introduce an effective structure stabilizing and moisturizing system, it is still prone to problems such as hard and dry surface, inner filling exuding water, sticky texture, etc. under cold storage conditions. At the same time, due to the lack of effective microbial control or coating protection, the product is prone to mold or rancidity, and the shelf life is usually short.
[0006] 4) Single nutritional function, and the value of milk raw materials is not fully utilized. The existing process of milk is often limited to heating, and cannot improve its digestibility, bioactive peptide content or probiotic function through biological techniques such as fermentation or enzymolysis. The utilization rate of milk protein is low, the nutritional composition of the product is simple, and the synergistic design of functional ingredients is lacking.
[0007] 5) Poor process controllability and unstable product quality. The process relying on natural skinning is greatly affected by factors such as milk composition, heating conditions, environmental temperature and humidity, and it is difficult to accurately control the thickness, strength and film uniformity of the milk skin, resulting in significant differences between batches of products and difficulty in achieving standardized production. SUMMARY
[0008] In order to solve the above problems, the present application provides a milk skin roll and a preparation method thereof, specifically comprising the following steps:
[0009] Step one, heat the milk to 38-42℃, add the compound starter, and ferment at 38-42℃ for 80-120min. The purpose of this process is not complete fermentation, but to adjust the pH to create a slightly acidic environment, activate the optimal activity of the subsequent compound enzyme, and subtly change the charge of milk protein (especially casein micelles), making it more susceptible to enzyme attack. At the same time, the extracellular polysaccharide produced by fermentation naturally thickens, providing initial suspension stability for the emulsion and preventing uneven distribution of the subsequent added stabilizer.
[0010] After fermentation, heat to 44-46℃, add compound enzyme, and hydrolyze at 44-46℃ and 120-150rpm for 15-20min. The milk protein adjusted in pH and structure by the previous step is cut into large molecular weight polypeptide fragments in a specific compound enzyme and time, and these fragments have amphiphilic properties, which are the key materials for forming high-strength and high-gloss milk skin. After enzyme hydrolysis, heat to 78-82℃ and maintain for 2-3min to inactivate, then add a structure stabilizer, shear at 2000-3000rpm for 1-2min, heat to 85-90℃, and maintain for 5-10min. First, use 78-82℃ to make the structure stabilizer initially disperse and bind to the polypeptide, providing immediate protection, then raise the temperature to 85-90℃ to make the structure stabilizer completely dissolve and form a gel precursor with the calcium ion protein polypeptide network. Finally, store at 3-5℃ for 7-9h to mature, and obtain modified milk.
[0011] Preferably, the compound starter is Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus plantarum, with a mass ratio of (1-3):(1-3).
[0012] Preferably, the compound enzyme is bromelain (200,000 U / g) and papain (300,000 U / g), with a mass ratio of (2-4):(6-8).
[0013] Preferably, the structure stabilizer is trehalose and carrageenan, with a mass ratio of (10-15):(0.5-1).
[0014] Step two, spread the modified milk with a thickness of 3-4mm, and keep it at 55-60℃ for 30-40min. The temperature is higher than the gelling temperature of carrageenan (40-45℃), but lower than the denaturation temperature of milk protein (above 70℃), so the carrageenan and polypeptides produced by enzymatic hydrolysis will form a gel network at the bottom to create a porous hydrogel base with elasticity, and then apply hot air with a temperature of 80-85℃ and a speed of 0.7-0.9m / s on the top of the modified milk for 15-25min. The high temperature of 80-85℃ will make the surface layer of milk protein denature rapidly and thoroughly, and deeply integrate with the existing carrageenan-polypeptide network to form an extremely dense "surface film". Hot air accelerates the evaporation of water in the surface layer, causing water in the lower network to migrate upward by capillary action. Because the carrageenan-polypeptide network at the bottom has strong water retention, the water migration is orderly and slow. Finally, a composite milk skin is formed, which has a dense and tough surface layer (thickness of 0.3mm) and a loose and porous bottom layer rich in water (thickness of about 2.7mm).
[0015] Step three, mix coconut water and gellan gum with a mass ratio of (350-450):(1-2), heat to 90-95℃ to dissolve, and then cool to 30-40℃ to obtain a coconut water-gellan gum solution. Mix almond paste, whey protein and inulin with a mass ratio of (65-75):(8-12):(4-6) to obtain a flavor paste.
[0016] Coat the coconut water-gellan gum solution on the bottom layer of the composite milk skin. Because the bottom layer is loose and the temperature of the coconut water-gellan gum solution is higher than its gelling temperature, the solution will quickly penetrate the milk skin. Then cool the whole thing at 4-6℃ for 10-20min, and the gellan gum quickly coagulates into a gel layer, locking the water and coconut flavor inside the composite milk skin. Then coat the flavor paste on the gel layer, cool it at 10-12℃ for 10-20min, and then roll it into a cylindrical shape. Keep it at 4-6℃ for 10-15h to mature, and obtain the initial product milk skin roll.
[0017] Preferably, the gellan gum is low-acyl gellan gum.
[0018] Preferably, the whey protein is WPC80 whey protein. Most preferably, the WPC80 whey protein is modified in step one to obtain modified WPC80 whey protein, which is then mixed with almond paste and inulin to obtain the flavor paste.
[0019] Step four, coat the surface film solution on the outer surface of the initial milk skin roll. For every square decimeter of the outer surface area of the initial milk skin roll, use 1.8-2.2g of surface film solution, and store it at 4-6℃ to obtain the finished product milk skin roll.
[0020] Preferably, the mass ratio of the cow milk, the composite fermenting agent, the composite enzyme, the structure stabilizer, the coconut water-konjac gum solution, and the flavor paste is 1000:(0.1-0.2):(0.03-0.04):(12-13):(75-85):(80-90).
[0021] Preferably, the surface film solution comprises pullulan, citrus pectin, hydroxypropyl distarch phosphate, sorbitol, glycerol, and water, and the mass ratio is (2-3):(0.8-1.2):(3-5):(1-2):(0.7-0.9):100.
[0022] The present application has the following advantages:
[0023] (1) The present application builds a gradient milk skin structure with a dense and tough surface layer and a loose and porous bottom layer through staged temperature control and directional hot air drying. The high-temperature hot air on the surface layer makes the protein denature deeply and fuse with the carrageenan-polypeptide network to form a strong and tough protective layer. The bottom layer forms an elastic gel substrate with strong water retention through the carrageenan and enzymatic polypeptide. This structure not only makes the milk skin not easy to break during rolling, but also presents a complex taste of "tough outer layer and soft inner layer" when eaten, completely overcoming the problem of easy breakage and single texture of traditional milk skin.
[0024] (2) The present application introduces short-time fermentation and composite enzymolysis. Not only does it activate enzyme activity and regulate protein charge through a slightly acidic environment, but also it produces large-molecule polypeptides with amphiphilic properties through specific enzyme cutting. These polypeptides become the key structural units of the milk skin network, and at the same time, they give the product a natural fermented aroma and a delicate aftertaste. Compared with the traditional simple heating process, the present application makes the milk skin flavor richer and the taste smoother, and generates bioactive peptide segments that are easy to absorb, thereby improving the nutritional added value of the product.
[0025] (3) The present application uses a coconut water-konjac gum solution to penetrate the bottom layer and gel at low temperature. Not only does it firmly lock the water and coconut flavor inside the milk skin, preventing texture separation caused by water migration, but also it provides a stable adhesion base for the subsequent flavor paste. The flavor paste mainly uses almond paste as the main body, and is matched with modified whey protein and inulin. The almond aroma and milk aroma are gradually released in the mouth with chewing, forming a flavor gradient from the outside to the inside and from light to strong, which solves the defects of traditional products such as easy separation of filling and flavor separation.
[0026] (4) The present application builds a multiple protection system from the inside to the outside: the structure stabilizer (trehalose + carrageenan) forms a gel precursor to maintain the water retention of the system, and the konjac gum gel layer blocks water evaporation; the surface film solution (pullulan composite system) forms an oxygen and moisture resistant edible film. The multiple layers of protection work together to effectively inhibit product dehydration, drying, and deterioration, extend the cold storage shelf life, and improve the adaptability of commodity circulation.
[0027] (5) From fermentation time, enzymatic hydrolysis temperature, hot air flow rate to the addition ratio of each component, the present application has a clear process window and quantitative index (such as rpm, temperature gradient, ratio range) at each link. This fine control ensures the high consistency of milk skin thickness, strength, flavor penetration depth and final product texture, which is suitable for large-scale, standardized production, and significantly improves the industrial applicability and quality stability of the product.
[0028] (6) Raw material modification and reuse, improve the overall compatibility and functionality of the product, the present application focuses on the synergistic modification of raw materials, for example, the whey protein is modified synchronously in step one and then used in the flavor paste, so that its structure is more compatible with the main body milk skin; low-acyl gellan gum is selected to realize low-temperature rapid gelation without affecting the original texture of the milk skin. This systematic raw material treatment enhances the interaction between components, making the product show high integration in taste, flavor and nutrition. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
