[0005] The inventor has hitherto tried to obtain a shiny appearance by applying an oil and fat-containing composition having a certain viscosity to the surface of seafood and heating it. However, in the above method, when trying to obtain a shiny appearance on the seafood after heating, it has been found that it is difficult to improve the appearance because the oil and fat-containing composition remains visible on the surface of the seafood after heating. On the other hand, while Patent Documents 1 and 2 describe applying an oil and fat-containing composition having viscosity to seafood, the above problems have not been considered.

[0006] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a processed seafood product that can prevent the phenomenon that the oil and fat-containing composition remains visible on the surface and deteriorates the appearance when applying oil and fat to the surface of seafood, and can effectively improve the appearance of the seafood. Another object of the present invention is also to provide a processed seafood product in which the oil and fat-containing composition applied while having a shiny feeling on the surface of the seafood is hardly visible and a good appearance is imparted.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0007] The inventor has intensively studied a method for improving the appearance of seafood by applying oil and fat to the surface of seafood. As a result, it has been found that when heated after adhering to the seafood as a foamed emulsion, the oil and fat-containing composition is hardly visible while obtaining a shiny feeling on the surface of the seafood, and the appearance of the seafood surface can be improved.

[0008] The present invention is based on the above findings, and a step of adhering a whipped composition, which is an emulsion containing oil and fat, to a food ingredient containing seafood in an amount of 1% by mass or more and 30% by mass or less, and a step of heating the food ingredient to which the whipped composition has been adhered, and provides a method for producing a processed seafood product.

Advantages of the Invention

[0010] According to the present invention, when adding fats and oils to the surface of seafood, it is possible to provide a method for producing a processed seafood product and a processed seafood product that can effectively improve the appearance after heating, with the residual fat-containing composition being difficult to visually recognize while imparting a grilled feeling.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0011] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described based on its preferred embodiments. The present invention includes a step of attaching a whipped composition, which is an emulsion containing fats and oils, to a food ingredient containing seafood in an amount of 1% by mass or more and 30% by mass or less, and a step of heating the food ingredient to which the whipped composition is attached, and relates to a method for producing a processed seafood product having these steps. The present invention also relates to a processed seafood product obtained by attaching a whipped composition, which is an emulsion containing fats and oils, to a food ingredient containing seafood in an amount of 1% by mass or more and 30% by mass or less, and then heating the product.

[0012] First, the seafood used in the present invention will be described. The seafood used in the present invention includes fish such as salmon, cod, tuna, trout, mullet, sea bream, mackerel, yellowtail, flounder, bonito, horse mackerel, sardine, saury, and red sea bream; shellfish such as clams and scallops; cephalopods such as squid and octopus; crustaceans such as shrimp and crabs; and organisms living in the sea, rivers, and lakes. Among them, using fish is preferable in terms of the excellent appearance improvement effect according to the present invention and the resulting improvement in commercial value. In particular, at least one selected from salmon, cod, mullet, sea bream, mackerel, yellowtail, flounder, and red sea bream is particularly preferable. Note that red sea bream is a general term for Pacific red sea bream, akouda, and Alaska pollock, and may sometimes be described as red fish.

[0013] The seafood used in the present invention may be in various forms. For example, in the case of fish, it may be a whole fish, a form with internal organs removed, or a form where the head and tail are removed and cut into slices. In the case of slices, for example, a slice weighing about 20 to 200 g is preferably used from the viewpoint of easy eating. When the seafood used in the present invention is fish, it may have skin, internal organs, bones, head, tail, fish roe, etc., or it may be a form in which any or all of them are removed. Usually, the body part is used as shellfish. For cephalopods and crustaceans, a form suitable for eating is appropriately used. For example, in the case of shrimp, a form with the shell and head removed, and in the case of octopus or squid, a form in which the body is appropriately cut is used.

[0014] The seafood may be in an unheated state or a heated state at the stage of attaching the whipped composition. Being in an unheated state is preferable in terms of the soft texture of the obtained processed seafood product and improvement in yield. The unheated state means, for example, that no heat treatment at 65°C or higher for 5 minutes or more is performed, preferably that no heat treatment at 60°C or higher for 10 minutes or more is performed, and particularly preferably that no heat treatment at 50°C or higher for 5 minutes or more is performed.

[0015] The food ingredients containing seafood used in the present invention (hereinafter also referred to as "seafood-containing food ingredients") may be seafood itself, or may be those subjected to some treatment at a stage before being attached to the whipped composition. Such pretreatment includes, in addition to washing, immersion treatment, injection treatment, and the like. The immersion treatment is carried out for the purpose of seasoning the obtained seafood processed product, removing odors, improving flavors, improving yields, softening, etc. Components contained in the immersion liquid used for the immersion treatment as pretreatment include inorganic salts such as table salt and phosphates, organic acids, nucleic acids, amino acids, and seasonings. Seasonings used for the immersion treatment include miso, mirin, sake, soy sauce, koji, sake lees, dashi, vinegar, salts such as table salt, pepper, sugar, sweeteners other than sugar, consommé, ketchup, curry powder, amino acids, nucleic acids, organic acids, pH adjusters, and the like. The immersion treatment may be carried out in one step or in two or more steps. The time of the immersion treatment is preferably about 10 minutes to 48 hours for example for one kind of immersion liquid.

[0016] As described above, the seafood-containing food ingredient before attaching the whipped composition may contain components contained in the immersion liquid in addition to seafood. Further, the seafood-containing food ingredient before attaching the whipped composition may contain other food additives such as vegetables, grains, dairy products, oils and fats, dietary fiber, vitamins, minerals, trace elements, coloring agents, preservatives, stabilizers, antioxidants, color-developing agents, and the like. The seafood-containing food ingredient preferably has seafood as the main component, and the content of seafood is preferably 50% by mass or more, more preferably 60% by mass or more, still more preferably 70% by mass or more, and particularly preferably 75% by mass or more. Desirably, the seafood-containing food ingredient is seafood or that which has been subjected to immersion treatment. In this case, the total of the seafood and the components contained in the immersion liquid preferably occupies 90% by mass or more, and more preferably 95% by mass or more in the seafood-containing food ingredient.

[0017] Next, the whipped composition will be described. The whipped composition used in the present invention is an emulsion containing fats and oils and is foamed. When the present inventors apply fats and oils to the surface of seafood, by using a whipped emulsion as the fat and oil, the coatability is improved, and the fat and oil-containing composition can be uniformly adhered to the surface of the seafood after heating, and the fat and oil-containing composition on the surface of the seafood becomes less prominent and excellent. Accordingly, in the present invention, it is possible to obtain a grilled feeling while improving the deterioration of the appearance quality caused by the presence of the fat and oil-containing composition on the surface of the seafood. In particular, conventionally, a composition containing a certain amount or more of fats and oils, a gelling agent, or a thickening agent is likely to improve the grilled feeling, but when it remains on the surface of seafood, it may cause a residual feeling of fat and oil in appearance, or may cause discoloration on the surface due to the presence of a gelling agent or the like. In the present invention, even in such a case, by using the whipped composition, it is possible to prevent the residual feeling of fat and oil on the surface of the seafood and discoloration caused by the residual of a gelling agent or the like. Further, when using the whipped composition, since the fat and oil is uniformly applied and discoloration and the like are prevented, it is easy to improve the grilled feeling.

[0018] The specific gravity of the whipped composition is 0.85 g / cm 3 The following is preferable in terms of easily imparting a grilled appearance to seafood and easily improving coatability, and 0.2 g / cm 3 The above is preferable in terms of ease of application, good shape retention of the whipped composition, and advantages such as good adhesion to food ingredients. From these points, the specific gravity in the whipped composition is 0.3 g / cm 3 Above 0.8 g / cm 3 The following is more preferable. In particular, from the point of enhancing the coatability of the whipped composition to seafood, the specific gravity in the whipped composition is 0.4 g / cm 3 Above 0.7 g / cm 3 The following is particularly preferable. In order to adjust the specific gravity of the whipped composition within the above range, in addition to adjusting the degree of foaming, it is possible to adjust the amount of water, the amount of fats and oils, the type of fats and oils, the type and amount of gelling agents, thickening agents, or adjust the temperature during foaming. The specific gravity is measured in a state where the whipped composition is at 10 to 15°C, and it may be within the above range at any temperature within the temperature range.

[0019] The emulsion may be of the oil-in-water type or the water-in-oil type, but the oil-in-water type is preferred from the viewpoints of ease of seasoning and adjustment of shape retention.

[0020] The fats and oils contained in the whipped composition are not particularly limited as long as they are edible fats and oils, and can be used without particular limitation, such as palm oil, palm kernel oil, coconut oil, cocoa butter, shea butter, sal fat, beef tallow, lard, illipe fat, soybean oil, rapeseed oil, cottonseed oil, safflower oil, sunflower oil, rice oil, corn oil, sesame oil, linseed oil, olive oil, salad oil, milk fat, etc., and processed fats and oils thereof (hydrogenated oil, fractionated oil, interesterified oil). In particular, in the present invention, it is preferable to use a liquid oil at normal temperature at 25 °C from the viewpoint of ease of operation. Examples of the liquid oil at normal temperature at 25 °C include soybean oil, rapeseed oil, cottonseed oil, safflower oil, sunflower oil, rice oil, corn oil, sesame oil, linseed oil, olive oil, salad oil, etc.

[0021] The amount of fats and oils contained in the whipped composition is preferably 10% by mass or more in the whipped composition from the viewpoints of easily imparting a feeling of shine and retaining moisture during baking, and preferably 70% by mass or less from the viewpoint of shape retention of the whipped composition. From these viewpoints, the amount of fats and oils is more preferably 15% by mass or more and 65% by mass or less, and particularly preferably 20% by mass or more and 60% by mass or less in the whipped composition.

[0022] The whipped composition which is an emulsion preferably contains water. The amount of water is preferably 30% by mass or more and 90% by mass or less in the whipped composition from the viewpoints of ease of adhesion to seafood and shape retention of the whipped composition, more preferably 35% by mass or more and 85% by mass or less, and particularly preferably 40% by mass or more and 80% by mass or less.

[0023] The whipped composition preferably contains a gelling agent or a thickening agent for the purpose of shape stability and adhesiveness. Examples of the gelling agent include gelatin, gellan gum, carrageenan, pectin, agar, and the like. Examples of the thickening agent include farselaran, locust bean gum, guar gum, gum arabic, xanthan gum, tamarind gum, tara gum, pullulan, tragacanth gum, karaya gum, ramzan gum, welan gum, psyllium seed gum, and the like. Among them, the whipped composition used in the present invention preferably uses at least one selected from gelatin, xanthan gum, guar gum, and tamarind gum as the gelling agent or thickening agent because it is easy to impart a shiny appearance to seafood. In particular, it is most preferable to use gelatin. This is because when gelatin is used as the whipped composition, it has the advantages of excellent foaming properties and shape retention properties.

[0024] The amount of the gelling agent in the whipped composition is preferably 1% by mass or more and 20% by mass or less in the whipped composition in terms of dry mass from the viewpoints of easily obtaining the above effects by using the gelling agent and flavor. More preferably, it is 2% by mass or more and 10% by mass or less in the whipped composition in terms of dry mass.

[0025] The amount of the thickening agent in the whipped composition is preferably 0.1% by mass or more and 10% by mass or less in the whipped composition in terms of dry mass from the viewpoints of easily obtaining the above effects by using the thickening agent and flavor. More preferably, it is 0.2% by mass or more and 5% by mass or less in the whipped composition in terms of dry mass.

[0026] The whipped composition can contain components other than water, fats and oils, gelling agents or thickeners. Such components include seasonings. As seasonings, those mentioned above as the seasonings contained in the above-described dipping liquid can be appropriately cited. When the whipped composition contains a seasoning, the amount of the seasoning in the whipped composition is preferably 0.1% by mass or more and 20% by mass or less, more preferably 0.2% by mass or more and 10% by mass or less in terms of the dry mass from the viewpoints of ensuring the amounts of other components and obtaining a seasoning effect.

[0027] Other components in the whipped composition other than water, fats and oils, gelling agents, thickeners and seasonings include coloring materials, saccharides and the like. There is no particular limitation on the amount of other components, but for example, it is preferably 10% by mass or less, more preferably 5% by mass or less in the whipped composition.

[0028] The whipped composition can be obtained by stirring and mixing water, fats and oils, preferably a gelling agent or a thickener, and foaming. Foaming can be carried out using a mixer with a wire whip, a foaming method using pressure, a push-type foaming container, or the like. The degree of foaming is preferably carried out so that the specific gravity is within the above range.

[0029] It is preferable that the whipped composition has fluidity from the viewpoint of coatability. From this viewpoint, the viscosity of the whipped composition at 25°C is preferably 200 mPa·s or less, more preferably 100 mPa·s or less. The lower limit of the viscosity of the whipped composition at 25°C is preferably 10 mPa·s or more from the viewpoints that the whipped composition is easily retained without flowing down from the surface of seafood appropriately and foaming properties. In order to adjust the viscosity of the whipped composition within the above range, the amount of water, the amount of fats and oils, the type of fats and oils, the amount of gelling agents, the amount of thickeners are adjusted, and the degree of foaming is adjusted, and the temperature during foaming is adjusted.

[0030] The whipped composition is attached in an amount of 1 to 30 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the seafood-containing foodstuff. The whipped composition is attached to the surface of the seafood in the seafood-containing foodstuff, and it is particularly preferable to attach the whipped composition to the skin and / or flesh of the seafood because of the excellent effect of imparting char. Further, it is preferable to heat the seafood-containing foodstuff with the whipped composition attached to at least the upper surface of the seafood in the seafood-containing foodstuff.

[0031] The temperature of the seafood when attaching the whipped composition is preferably 20°C or lower because it is easy to obtain the advantage that the foamed state of the whipped composition attached to the seafood surface can be maintained and heated, and more preferably -20°C or higher and 20°C or lower.

[0032] By attaching the whipped composition in an amount of 1 part by mass or more per 100 parts by mass of the seafood-containing foodstuff, an effect of improving the imparting of char to the seafood can be obtained. Further, by attaching the whipped composition in an amount of 30 parts by mass or less per 100 parts by mass of the seafood-containing foodstuff, appropriate baking can be performed, and the advantage of being able to impart an appropriate amount of char can be obtained. From these points, the usage amount of the whipped composition is more preferably 2 parts by mass or more and 20 parts by mass or less per 100 parts by mass of the seafood-containing foodstuff.

[0033] Next, the seafood-containing foodstuff to which the whipped composition is attached is heated. It is preferable to bake the seafood-containing foodstuff by heating. Examples of heating methods include direct fire, hot air flow, far-infrared rays, infrared rays, microwaves, superheated steam, etc., and these may be combined. In the present invention, in a state where the whipped composition adheres to the upper side of the seafood in the seafood-containing foodstuff, a heating step using at least one selected from direct fire, hot air flow, far-infrared rays, infrared rays, and superheated steam is preferred in that direct heating can be performed on the portion of the seafood to which the whipped composition adheres. In particular, a baking step using at least one selected from direct fire, hot air flow, far-infrared rays, infrared rays, and superheated steam is preferred. For example, specific heating devices include a grill as one using direct fire, a convection oven as one using hot air flow, an oven and a toaster as ones using infrared rays or far-infrared rays, and a steam oven and other superheated steam type heating devices as ones using superheated steam. Therefore, preferred heating devices include a toaster, an oven, a grill, and a superheated steam type heating device. The oven mentioned here includes a convection oven, an oven toaster, a jet oven, and a roaster oven. The superheated steam type heating device includes both batch type and continuous type ones.

[0034] Preferred heating temperatures for heating the seafood-containing foodstuff with the whipped composition adhered thereto are 80 to 500°C, more preferably 100 to 300°C, from the viewpoints of easily obtaining a grilled appearance and the texture of the fish.
