AI Technical Summary
Existing whipped cream compositions struggle to balance rich milky flavor with a refreshing aftertaste, often prioritizing one at the expense of the other, and typically rely on high fresh cream content.
A foaming oil-in-water emulsion fat composition with specific ratios of fats, water, fresh cream, dairy ingredients, and emulsifiers, along with controlled non-fat milk solids and emulsifier ratios, is used to create whipped cream with a rich milky flavor and clean aftertaste, minimizing fresh cream usage.
The composition achieves a whipped cream with a rich milky flavor and clean aftertaste, offering improved taste experience while reducing fresh cream dependency.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to an oil-in-water type emulsified oil and fat composition having foaming properties, and whipped cream obtained by foaming the same.
Background Art
[0002] Whipped cream obtained by foaming an oil-in-water type emulsified oil and fat composition having foaming properties is used in various scenes mainly for Western confectionery. Conventionally, whipped cream with a strong milky aftertaste has tended to be preferred. However, in recent years, there has been a tendency to require whipped cream in which the richness of milk can be felt in the content while the aftertaste is refreshing. However, the richness of milk in the content and the refreshingness of the aftertaste are in a trade-off relationship, and it has been difficult to achieve both at the same time.
[0003] Therefore, Patent Document 1 discloses an oil-in-water type emulsified oil and fat composition having a rich and refreshing milky flavor, in which the value of protein / potassium is 3.0 to 16.0, the potassium content is 0.15 to 1.0% by mass, and the content of saccharides with a sweetness degree of more than 30 is 10 to 50% by mass. However, in the oil-in-water type emulsified composition obtained by this technique, there is no description about the type of milk raw material to be used. In all examples, only heat-dried powdered milk raw materials with high contents of both fat-free milk solids and protein in milk raw materials such as skim milk powder and total milk protein are used. Therefore, in addition to the richness of milk in the content, the richness of milk is also felt in the aftertaste, and the refreshingness of the aftertaste is not satisfactory.

[0008] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a whipped cream that uses zero or very little fresh cream, has a rich milky flavor, and a clean aftertaste, as well as a foaming oil-in-water emulsion composition for producing it. [Modes for carrying out the invention]
[0009] The present invention will be described in more detail below. The foaming oil-in-water emulsion fat composition according to one embodiment of the present invention has a specific content of fat, water, and fresh cream, and the content of two specific milk ingredients (milk ingredient X, milk ingredient Y), an emulsifier, and non-fat milk solids is within a specific range, and the weight ratio of the total amount of non-fat milk solids of milk ingredient X and milk ingredient Y to the total amount of non-fat milk solids is within a specific range, and the weight ratio of non-fat milk solids in milk ingredient X to non-fat milk solids in milk ingredient Y is within a specific range. By whipping this foaming oil-in-water emulsion fat composition, a whipped cream is produced that has a rich milky texture but a clean aftertaste.
[0010] Examples of the oils and fats mentioned above include plant-derived oils and fats such as palm oil, palm kernel oil, coconut oil, rapeseed oil, soybean oil, safflower oil, corn oil, rice oil, and cottonseed oil; animal-derived oils and fats such as milk fat; and fractionated oils, superhydrogenated oils, and transesterified oils of these oils and fats. At least one selected from this group can be used.
[0011] The oil and fat content is preferably 15 to 45% by weight, more preferably 20 to 40% by weight, and even more preferably 25 to 38% by weight, of the total foaming oil-in-water emulsion oil and fat composition. If the oil and fat content is less than 15% by weight, the desired overrun may not be achieved. If the content exceeds 45% by weight, the richness of the milk and the clean aftertaste of the contents may decrease.
[0012] The oil content mentioned above is the total content of oils contained in each raw material and oils added separately. It can be calculated from the blending amounts of oils contained in each raw material and oils added separately, or it can be measured by known methods, such as the Soxhlet extraction method.
[0013] From the viewpoint of a clean aftertaste, the content of lauric acid-based oils is preferably 20% by weight or more, more preferably 50% by weight or more, even more preferably 70% by weight or more, and particularly preferably 90% by weight or more, of the total amount of oils. The lauric acid-based oils refer to oils that are rich in lauric acid as a constituent fatty acid, and examples include coconut oil, palm kernel oil, and fractions thereof, hydrogenated oils, and superhydrogenated oils.
[0014] The water content is preferably 42 to 75% by weight, more preferably 45 to 65% by weight, and even more preferably 50 to 60% by weight, of the total foaming oil-in-water emulsion fat composition. If the water content is less than 42% by weight, the viscosity of the foaming oil-in-water emulsion fat composition may become too high during production, making production impossible. If the content exceeds 75% by weight, the desired overrun may not be achieved.
[0015] The moisture content mentioned above is the total moisture content of each raw material plus any additional water added separately. It can be calculated from the proportions of moisture in each raw material and the additional water added separately, or it can be measured by known methods, such as the atmospheric pressure heating and drying method or the Karl Fischer method.
[0016] The foaming oil-in-water emulsion fat composition according to one embodiment of the present invention may contain fresh cream from a flavor viewpoint, but if there is too much, the milk flavor may become too strong, so it is preferable that it be less than 15% by weight of the total foaming oil-in-water emulsion fat composition.
[0017] The aforementioned fresh cream refers to "raw milk, milk, or special milk from which components other than milk fat have been removed, resulting in a milk fat content of 18.0% or more," as defined in the Ministerial Ordinance on Milk and Dairy Products. In this embodiment, it is sufficient to use fresh cream with a milk fat content of 30-48%.
[0018] The milk raw material X is preferably at least one selected from the group consisting of raw milk, skim milk, skim concentrated milk, cow's milk, and buttermilk. From the viewpoint of a clean aftertaste, it is more preferably at least one selected from the group consisting of raw milk, skim milk, and cow's milk, and raw milk is even more preferred.
[0019] The content of the milk raw material X is preferably 10 to 70% by weight, more preferably 20 to 60% by weight, and even more preferably 25 to 50% by weight in the whole oil-in-water type emulsified oil and fat composition with foaming property. If the content of the milk raw material X is less than 10% by weight, the clean aftertaste may be inferior. Also, if the content exceeds 70% by weight, the richness of the milk in the filling may be inferior.
[0020] The milk raw material Y is preferably at least one selected from the group consisting of whey powder, skim milk powder, whole milk powder, buttermilk powder, and WPC (whey protein concentrate). From the viewpoint of the richness of the milk in the filling, whey powder or skim milk powder is more preferred, and whey powder is even more preferred.
[0021] The content of the milk raw material Y is preferably 1 to 7.8% by weight, more preferably 1.5 to 7.5% by weight, and even more preferably 2 to 5.5% by weight in the whole oil-in-water type emulsified oil and fat composition with foaming property. If the content of the milk raw material Y is less than 1% by weight, the richness of the milk in the filling may be inferior. Also, if the content exceeds 7.8% by weight, the clean aftertaste may be inferior.
[0022] The milk protein in the milk raw material X / the milk protein in the milk raw material Y (weight ratio) is preferably 0.9 to 12, more preferably 1.5 to 9, and even more preferably 2 to 8 from the viewpoint of better enjoying the effects of the present invention.
[0023] Examples of the emulsifier include synthetic emulsifiers such as monoglycerin fatty acid ester, diglycerin fatty acid ester, polyglycerin fatty acid ester, monoglyceride derivative bonded with an organic acid, sucrose fatty acid ester, propylene glycol fatty acid ester, sorbitan fatty acid ester, polysorbate, lecithins such as soybean lecithin, egg yolk lecithin, and their fractionated lecithins, and further modified lecithins such as enzymatically decomposed lysophosphatidylcholine, and natural-derived emulsifiers including phospholipids derived from milk. At least one selected from these groups can be used.
[0024] The monoglyceride derivative bonded with the organic acid refers to a monoglyceride in which an organic acid is further ester-bonded to a fatty acid monoglyceride. Specifically, examples include acetic acid monoglyceride, lactic acid monoglyceride, citric acid monoglyceride, diacetyl tartaric acid monoglyceride, succinic acid monoglyceride, etc. From the viewpoint of the foaming property of the oil-in-water type emulsified oil and fat composition for foaming, it is preferable to use polyglycerin fatty acid ester, sucrose fatty acid ester, and lecithins in combination.
[0025] The content of the emulsifier is preferably 0.05 to 1% by weight, more preferably 0.1 to 0.7% by weight, still more preferably 0.25 to 0.65% by weight, and particularly preferably 0.35 to 0.5% by weight in the whole oil-in-water type emulsified oil and fat composition for foaming. If the content of the emulsifier is less than 0.05% by weight, the desired overrun may not be obtained. Also, if the content is more than 1% by weight, the mouthfeel of the whipped cream may decrease or the flavor may deteriorate.
[0026] From the viewpoint of emulsification stability of the foaming oil-in-water emulsion composition, it is preferable that the hydrophilic emulsifier be present in the aqueous phase of the foaming oil-in-water emulsion composition at a concentration of 0.01 to 0.99% by weight, and the lipophilic emulsifier be present in the oil phase at a concentration of 0.01 to 0.99% by weight. The content of the hydrophilic emulsifier is more preferably 0.02 to 0.5% by weight, even more preferably 0.03 to 0.4% by weight, and particularly preferably 0.05 to 0.3% by weight. Furthermore, the content of the lipophilic emulsifier is more preferably 0.05 to 0.8% by weight, even more preferably 0.1 to 0.5% by weight, and particularly preferably 0.25 to 0.35% by weight.
[0027] Here, the term "lipophilic emulsifier" refers to an emulsifier that dissolves in oil, and "hydrophilic emulsifier" refers to an emulsifier that dissolves in water. HLB is used as an indicator of the degree of lipophilicity and hydrophilicity of emulsifiers. The HLB of lipophilic emulsifiers is approximately 0 to 9, and the HLB of hydrophilic emulsifiers is approximately 7 to 20. However, if an emulsifier is present in a dispersed state that does not dissolve in each phase, the behavior will differ, and the desired effect may not be obtained, which is undesirable. Furthermore, if an emulsifier is present in a dispersed state that does not dissolve, turbidity will appear in each phase and will be visible.
[0028] By setting the weight ratio of the emulsifier whose main constituent fatty acid is a saturated fatty acid to the emulsifier whose main constituent fatty acid is an unsaturated fatty acid to 0.7 to 2.5 in the overall emulsifier, the foaming properties of the foaming oil-in-water emulsion oil composition can be further improved. The above weight ratio is more preferably 0.75 to 2, even more preferably 0.8 to 1.5, and particularly preferably 0.85 to 1.2.
[0029] Here, an emulsifier whose main constituent fatty acid is a saturated fatty acid refers to an emulsifier in which the content of saturated fatty acids relative to the total constituent fatty acids is 55% by weight or more. A saturated fatty acid content of 65% by weight or more is more preferable, 80% by weight or more is even more preferable, and 90% by weight or more is particularly preferable. Furthermore, an emulsifier whose main constituent fatty acid is an unsaturated fatty acid refers to an emulsifier in which the content of unsaturated fatty acids relative to the total constituent fatty acids is 55% by weight or more. A unsaturated fatty acid content of 65% by weight or more is more preferable, 80% by weight or more is even more preferable, and 90% by weight or more is particularly preferable.
[0030] The non-fat milk solids refer to the components obtained by removing lipids from the total milk solids, and include, for example, proteins, lactose, and minerals. Examples of sources for the non-fat milk solids include, in addition to the milk raw materials X and Y, casein protein, cream, whey minerals, sweetened condensed milk, unsweetened condensed milk, cheese, etc.
[0031] The content of non-fat milk solids is preferably 6 to 12.5% by weight, more preferably 6.5 to 12% by weight, even more preferably 7.1 to 10% by weight, and particularly preferably 7.5 to 9% by weight, in the total foaming oil-in-water emulsion fat composition. If the content is less than 6% by weight, the richness of the milk in the contents and the clean aftertaste may be inferior. Also, if the content exceeds 12.5% by weight, the clean aftertaste may be inferior.
[0032] The weight ratio of the total amount of non-fat milk solids of milk raw material X and milk raw material Y to the total amount of non-fat milk solids is preferably 0.8 to 1, more preferably 0.85 to 1, and even more preferably 0.88 to 0.98. If the weight ratio is less than 0.8, the richness of the milk and the clean aftertaste of the contents may decrease.
[0033] The ratio of non-fat milk solids in the milk raw material X to the non-fat milk solids in the milk raw material Y (by weight) is preferably 0.3 to 4, more preferably 0.6 to 3, and even more preferably 0.8 to 2.5. If the weight ratio is less than 0.3, the clean aftertaste may decrease, and if it exceeds 4, the whipping properties may be poor.
[0034] The foaming oil-in-water emulsion oil composition according to one embodiment of the present invention may optionally contain sugars, stabilizers, flavoring agents, shelf-life extenders, colorants, fragrances, salts, antioxidants, etc., to the extent that it does not impair the effects of the present invention.
[0035] The aforementioned sugars are not particularly limited, but examples include sucrose, fructose, glucose, maltose, lactose, galactose, trehalose, oligosaccharides, and their liquid forms; hydrolyzed saccharified liquid sugars such as maltose syrup and corn syrup; and sugar alcohols such as sorbitol, erythritol, maltitol, xylitol, lactitol, mannitol, and reduced starch syrup. At least one selected from this group can be used. Lactose is preferred in terms of milky flavor, and sugar alcohols are preferred in terms of a clean aftertaste.
[0036] The content of the aforementioned sugars is preferably 0.1 to 12% by weight, more preferably 2 to 10% by weight, and even more preferably 3 to 8% by weight, in the total dry weight of the foaming oil-in-water emulsion fat composition. A content of 0.1% by weight or more can improve the richness of the milk in the composition. Furthermore, a content of 12% by weight or less results in a clean aftertaste.
[0037] Examples of the stabilizers include crystalline cellulose, microcrystalline cellulose, carboxymethylcellulose, hydroxymethylcellulose, dextrin, starch, glucomannan, xanthan gum, gellan gum, guar gum, carrageenan, agar, pectin, sodium alginate, locust bean gum, and gum arabic, and at least one selected from this group can be used.
[0038] From the viewpoint of emulsification stability of the foaming oil-in-water emulsion composition, the content of the stabilizer is preferably 0.01 to 3% by weight, more preferably 0.05 to 2.5% by weight, and even more preferably 0.1 to 2% by weight, in the total foaming oil-in-water emulsion composition. If the content is less than 0.01% by weight, the emulsification stabilization effect may not be obtained. If the content exceeds 3% by weight, the whipping properties may be poor. The stabilizer is included in the aqueous phase.
[0039] Examples of the flavoring agent include those obtained by enzymatically hydrolyzing, heating, separating, or fractionating the source of the non-fat milk solids, and at least one of these can be used. From the viewpoint of the flavor of the foaming oil-in-water emulsion composition, the content of the flavoring agent is preferably 0.01 to 0.5% by weight, and more preferably 0.02 to 0.3% by weight, of the total foaming oil-in-water emulsion composition. If the content is less than 0.01% by weight, the flavor-enhancing effect of the flavoring agent may not be obtained. If the content exceeds 0.5% by weight, the flavor of the flavoring agent may be perceived as too strong. The flavoring agent is included in the oil phase if it is lipophilic, and in the aqueous phase if it is hydrophilic.
[0040] Examples of shelf-life extenders include glycine, sodium acetate, lysozyme, potassium sorbate, and others that can be used in food applications, and at least one selected from this group can be used. The shelf-life extender content is preferably 0.01 to 3% by weight, and more preferably 0.05 to 2% by weight, of the total foaming oil-in-water emulsion fat composition. If the content is less than 0.01% by weight, the shelf-life extender effect may not be obtained. If the content exceeds 3% by weight, the effect may plateau. The shelf-life extender is contained in the aqueous phase.
[0041] The aforementioned colorants are not particularly limited as long as they are colorants commonly used in food, regardless of whether they are natural or artificial ingredients.

If the content exceeds 0.1% by weight, the coloring may be excessive. The aforementioned colorant is included in the oil phase if it is lipophilic, and in the aqueous phase if it is hydrophilic.
[0043] The aforementioned flavorings are not particularly limited as long as they are flavorings commonly used in food, regardless of whether they are natural or artificial ingredients. Examples include milk flavor (milk flavoring), butter flavor (butter flavoring), and cream flavor (cream flavoring), and at least one selected from this group can be used.
[0044] The content of the aforementioned fragrance is preferably 0.005 to 0.5% by weight, and more preferably 0.01 to 0.2% by weight, of the total foaming oil-in-water emulsion oil composition. If the content is less than 0.005% by weight, the flavoring effect may not be obtained. If the content exceeds 0.5% by weight, the flavor of the fragrance may be perceived as too strong. The fragrance is contained in the oil phase if it is lipophilic, and in the aqueous phase if it is hydrophilic.

[0048] The content of the antioxidant is preferably 0.001 to 0.5% by weight, and more preferably 0.005 to 0.2% by weight, of the total foaming oil-in-water emulsion oil composition. If the content is less than 0.001% by weight, the antioxidant effect may not be obtained. If the content exceeds 0.5% by weight, the antioxidant effect may plateau. The antioxidant is contained in the oil phase if it is lipophilic, and in the aqueous phase if it is hydrophilic.
[0049] A method for producing a foaming oil-in-water emulsion oil composition according to one embodiment of the present invention is illustrated below. First, the foaming oil-in-water emulsion fat composition can be obtained by mixing an aqueous phase, which is prepared by dissolving 10-70% by weight of milk raw material X, 1-7.8% by weight of milk raw material Y, 0.01-0.99% by weight of a hydrophilic emulsifier, and optionally less than 15% by weight of fresh cream in the entire foaming oil-in-water emulsion fat composition to adjust the water content to 42-75% by weight, with an oil phase, which is prepared by dissolving a lipophilic emulsifier in 15-45% by weight of oil and fat so that its content is 0.01-0.99% by weight in the entire foaming oil-in-water emulsion fat composition, and preheating the mixture; after preheating, heating to 130-150°C by direct heating; after heating by direct heating, indirect cooling to 40-90°C; after cooling, homogenization treatment under a homogenization pressure of 0.5-15 MPa; and after homogenization treatment, indirect cooling to 3-15°C. In addition to the homogenization treatment described above, a homogenization treatment can also be performed before direct heating.
[0050] The aforementioned direct heating refers to a method of heating by directly applying steam to the object. Sterilization can be performed by holding the temperature at 130-150°C for 0.25-15 seconds using direct heating.
[0051] Indirect cooling is a method of cooling by heat exchange between the object being cooled and other substances. Examples include plate cooling, tubular cooling, multi-tube cooling, scraping cooling, and mixing of cold substances. Among these, plate cooling, multi-tube cooling, and scraping cooling are preferred due to their high heat exchange capacity. Unlike evaporative cooling, indirect cooling makes it easier to provide a flavorful, foaming oil-in-water emulsion oil composition because aroma components and highly volatile components are less likely to be removed.
[0052] The resulting foaming oil-in-water emulsion fat composition has a non-fat milk solids content of 6 to 12.5% by weight, a weight ratio of the total amount of non-fat milk solids of milk raw material X and milk raw material Y to the total amount of non-fat milk solids of milk raw material X is 0.8 to 1, and the weight ratio of non-fat milk solids in milk raw material X to non-fat milk solids in milk raw material Y is 0.3 to 4.
[0053] Then, the resulting foaming oil-in-water emulsion fat composition is whipped using a mixer such as an open-type whisk or a closed-type continuous whipping machine until it reaches a suitable consistency for its intended use, such as a topping, frosting, or sandwich, thereby obtaining whipped cream. This whipped cream uses little to no fresh cream and has a rich, milky flavor while having a clean aftertaste.
[0054] The overrun of the whipped cream according to one embodiment of the present invention is preferably 100-160%, more preferably 100-150%, even more preferably 110-140%, and particularly preferably 115-130%, from the viewpoint of enjoying the richness of the milk in the contents and the clean aftertaste. The overrun of the whipped compound cream is determined by the following formula. Overrun (%) = [(Weight of foaming oil-in-water emulsion composition per unit volume) - (Weight of whipped cream per unit volume)] / (Weight of whipped cream per unit volume) × 100
[0055] Whipped cream obtained by whipping a foaming oil-in-water emulsion fat composition according to one embodiment of the present invention can be suitably used as whipped cream for frosting, sandwiching, or topping food products such as sponge cakes, buche de Noël, cookies, and biscuits.

[0067] The mixture obtained by mixing the oil phase and the aqueous phase was pre-emulsified for 20 minutes, then micronized using a high-speed rotary emulsifier (M-Technique Co., Ltd.'s "Creamix") at a rotational speed of 31.4 m / s, then homogenized using a high-pressure homogenizer at a pressure of 25.0 MPa in the first stage and 5.0 MPa in the second stage, then preheated to 90°C using a plate heater, then sterilized at 140°C for 4 seconds using a UHT sterilizer (steam injection), and without evaporative cooling, cooled to 60°C using a plate cooler, and then homogenized again using a high-pressure homogenizer at a pressure of 25.0 MPa in the first stage and 5.0 MPa in the second stage. After that, the mixture cooled to 5°C using a plate cooler was filled into containers to obtain an oil-in-water emulsion oil composition.
