Description

Liquid composition containing sucrose fatty acid ester, food preparation and food containing the same

[0001] This disclosure relates to liquid compositions containing sucrose fatty acid esters, food preparations and foods comprising the same. More specifically, it relates to sucrose fatty acid ester compositions in liquid form dissolved in a solvent having a predetermined Hansen solubility parameter, and sucrose fatty acid ester compositions in liquid form that have a high content of sucrose fatty acid esters and low viscosity.

[0002] Sucrose fatty acid esters are used in a wide range of fields, including food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and the chemical industry, for various purposes such as emulsification, solubilization, dispersion, antibacterial effects, and inhibition of crystal growth.

[0003] Sucrose fatty acid esters with low HLB (Hydrophilic-Lipophilic Balance) values ​​dissolve or disperse in organic solvents, while those with high HLB values ​​dissolve or disperse in water or alcohol. However, sucrose fatty acid esters with a higher number of carbon atoms in the constituent fatty acids become more crystalline, and even when dissolved or dispersed in a solvent, they crystallize and separate or solidify in a short period of time. To slow down the crystallization of sucrose fatty acid esters, methods have been attempted to create gel-like compositions by increasing the viscosity of the solvent, or by mixing sucrose fatty acid esters with a high number of carbon atoms in the constituent fatty acids with sucrose fatty acid esters with a relatively low number of carbon atoms in the constituent fatty acids. Many sucrose fatty acid esters are currently distributed in powder form, but powdered sucrose fatty acid esters require dissolution or dispersion at high temperatures and high shear during use, which has sometimes limited their use.

[0004] Patent Document 1 discloses, as an aqueous dispersion of high-concentration sucrose fatty acid ester having low viscosity excellent in productivity, storage stability and workability, "an aqueous dispersion of sucrose fatty acid ester containing sucrose fatty acid ester, an anionic surfactant and water, wherein the anionic surfactant is a fatty acid metal salt and the content thereof is 0.1 to 50% by weight relative to the sucrose fatty acid ester" (see claim 1). However, conventional liquid sucrose fatty acid ester compositions have problems of low blending amount of sucrose fatty acid ester and poor stability over time. In addition, when the composition is in a gel form, it is difficult to handle due to high viscosity, and when a sucrose fatty acid ester with a small number of carbon atoms is mixed, this causes poor flavor.

[0014] This disclosure provides a liquid composition that can contain a high amount of sucrose fatty acid ester.

[0015] The following describes preferred forms for implementing this disclosure. The embodiments described below are merely examples of typical embodiments of this disclosure and should not be interpreted as narrowing the scope of this disclosure.

[0016] [Liquid Composition] In one embodiment, the liquid composition of sucrose fatty acid ester according to this disclosure contains sucrose fatty acid ester and a solvent, contains 12% by weight or more of sucrose fatty acid ester, and has a viscosity of 5,000 mPa·s or less at 25°C. In this disclosure, the term "liquid composition" of sucrose fatty acid ester means a liquid containing sucrose fatty acid ester and a solvent, in which no precipitation of sucrose fatty acid ester occurs at 25°C. Precipitation of sucrose fatty acid ester can be detected visually as a white to brown solid phase. If such an obvious solid phase is not present, precipitation can be determined to be present if the turbidity measured by transmitted light turbidity measurement exceeds 500 degrees. Therefore, the liquid composition of sucrose fatty acid ester according to this disclosure may have a turbidity of 500 degrees or less. The turbidity of the liquid composition is preferably 300 degrees or less, more preferably 200 degrees or less, even more preferably 100 degrees or less, and particularly preferably 50 degrees or less. Turbidity is determined according to the transmitted light turbidity measurement method described in JIS K0101:2017. Specifically, a spectrophotometer is used to determine the turbidity of the liquid composition by creating a calibration curve using a kaolin standard solution based on the transmitted light intensity of the sample at a wavelength of 660 nm.

[0017] The liquid composition according to this disclosure contains a high content of sucrose fatty acid ester and has low viscosity. Therefore, the liquid composition according to this disclosure can be used without requiring a process of dissolving or dispersing at high temperature and high shear, as in conventional powder compositions, and is easy to handle. It also solves the problems of low sucrose fatty acid ester content and poor flavor in conventional liquid compositions. The sucrose fatty acid ester content is preferably 12% by weight or more and 80% by weight or less, more preferably 15% by weight or more and 55% by weight or less or 15% by weight or more and 50% by weight or less, and even more preferably 20% by weight or more and 50% by weight or less or 20% by weight and 45% by weight or less. The viscosity of the liquid composition is preferably 1 mPa·s to 3000 mPa·s, more preferably 5 mPa·s to 1000 mPa·s, even more preferably 10 mPa·s to 500 mPa·s, particularly preferably 20 Pa·s to 250 mPa·s, and most preferably 30 mPa·s to 150 mPa·s, from the viewpoint of ease of handling and dispersibility in the raw material blending process.

[0018] Viscosity is measured according to the method described in ISZ8803:2011. Specifically, 200 g or more of the sample at 25°C is placed in a container with a diameter of 5 cm or more, and the viscosity is measured using a No. 3 rotor of a Type B viscometer at a rotation speed of 20 rpm, with the value at 3 minutes after the start of measurement being considered as the viscosity of the liquid composition. In this disclosure, "viscosity at 25°C" may refer to the viscosity of the liquid composition after being stored at 25°C for a predetermined period (e.g., one week).

[0019] The liquid composition of the present invention contains 12% by mass or more of sucrose fatty acid ester. The sucrose fatty acid ester has a monoester ratio of 65% by mass or more and less than 90% by mass of the total ester, and the number of carbon atoms in the constituent fatty acid residues is 16 or more. Such sucrose fatty acid esters have high precipitation properties and are particularly difficult to dissolve at high concentrations. On the other hand, sucrose fatty acid esters with a small number of carbon atoms in the constituent fatty acids can be dissolved at high concentrations in solvents such as water and ethanol. For example, the sucrose laurate ester (L-1695, fatty acid carbon number 12) shown in Reference Test Example 1 dissolves at high concentrations in ethanol. Furthermore, the monoester ratio greatly affects the high-concentration solubility of sucrose fatty acid esters. Sucrose fatty acid esters with a high monoester ratio (65% by mass or more) tend to precipitate in any solvent because the monoester and esters with a degree of esterification of 2 or more readily mix with each other in different solvents. Furthermore, sucrose fatty acid esters with a high monoester ratio (65% by mass or more) may be difficult to dissolve at high concentrations, even if the constituent fatty acids have a relatively low number of carbon atoms and high solvent affinity, because the monoester and esters with a degree of esterification of 2 or more inhibit each other's structural stabilization. Moreover, sucrose fatty acid esters with an excessively high monoester ratio (90% by mass or more) tend to have improved solubility (Reference Test Example 1: Monoester P, monoester ratio of 90% or more). This tendency is thought to occur because the affinity for the solvent remains constant, and a monoester-centered structure is formed and stabilized. Therefore, the present invention relates to a liquid composition in which sucrose fatty acid esters having a monoester ratio of 65% by mass or more and less than 90% by mass, and having fatty acid residues with 16 or more carbon atoms, are dissolved at a high concentration of 12% by mass or more, despite high demand for use in beverages and other applications, and which are particularly difficult to dissolve at high concentrations.

[0020] [Solvent] In one embodiment, the liquid composition of sucrose fatty acid ester according to this disclosure is obtained by dissolving or dispersing the sucrose fatty acid ester in a solvent having predetermined Hansen solubility parameters δD, δP, and δH. Hansen solubility parameters are one of the indicators used to determine the solubility of multiple compounds, that is, the strength of affinity between multiple compounds. For example, if the Hansen solubility parameter distance between two types of compounds is small, the solubility of these compounds tends to be high. The Hansen solubility parameters of a mixture of multiple compounds can be determined by summing the products of the Hansen solubility parameters and composition ratios of each compound contained in the mixture. The definition and calculation method of Hansen solubility parameters are described in Charles M. Hansen, "Hansen Solubility Parameters: A User's Handbook" (CRC Press, 2007). The Hansen solubility parameter is divided into a dispersion force term (δD) corresponding to van der Waals interactions, a polarity term (δP) due to attractive and repulsive forces arising from dipole moments, and a hydrogen bonding term (δH) due to hydrogen bonding generated by active hydrogen and lone pairs of electrons. In this specification, the Hansen solubility parameter (HSP), distance in Hansen space, and each component (dispersion force term (δD), polarity term (δP), and hydrogen bonding term (δH)) are defined as "(MPa)" unless otherwise specified. 1 / 2The values ​​are displayed based on the units expressed as ". A Hansen solubility sphere (hereinafter simply referred to as "solubility sphere" or "sphere") is a sphere plotted on the three-dimensional vector space (Hansen space) of the Hansen solubility parameters, representing the solvents in which dissolution, swelling, or mixing occurs. The calculation of solubility spheres can be performed using conventionally known methods. Specifically, the dissolution sphere can be calculated by following these steps: (1) Prepare dozens of evaluation solvents for which the Hansen solubility parameter (HSP) is known; (2) Conduct dissolution tests on the target substance in each evaluation solvent to determine whether or not it dissolved; (3) In the dissolution tests, plot the Hansen solubility parameters (HSP) of the evaluation solvents that showed compatibility and those that did not show compatibility on the Hansen space; (4) Based on the plotted Hansen solubility parameters (HSP) of each evaluation solvent, create a virtual sphere (Hansen dissolution sphere) on the Hansen space that includes the Hansen solubility parameters (HSP) of the evaluation solvents that showed compatibility but does not include the Hansen solubility parameters (HSP) of the evaluation solvents that did not show compatibility. The radius of the dissolution sphere becomes the interaction radius R0 of the substance, and the center coordinates become the Hansen solubility parameter (HSP) of the substance.

[0021] In this specification, the Hansen solubility parameters of solvents are calculated using the computer software Hansen Solubility Parameters in Practice (HSPiP) based on the chemical structure of various evaluation solvents. Specifically, HSPiP 6 th For data included in the Master Dataset of the Edition, and for data not included in the Master Dataset, the Y-MB tool was used to calculate the lysis spheres from the chemical structure. The lysis spheres of sucrose fatty acid esters were calculated using the algorithm implemented in HSPiP.

[0022] The inventors evaluated the HSPs of various sucrose fatty acid esters. As a result, they found that sucrose fatty acid esters with a particularly high monoester ratio in the total ester and high crystallinity were difficult to fit with a single dissolution sphere, and that two or more dissolution spheres (HSPs, interaction radii) existed. This is presumed to be because sucrose fatty acid esters have a hydrophilic (sucrose) and a hydrophobic (fatty acid) part of the HSP that are significantly different within a single molecule. The inventors calculated the dissolution spheres of various sucrose fatty acid esters using the Double Sphere algorithm of HSPiP and compared the dissolution spheres of the hydrophilic and hydrophobic parts. They found that solvents that dissolve sucrose fatty acid esters with a high monoester ratio in the total ester are distributed within a specific range of the Hansen space. Furthermore, they found that liquid compositions containing sucrose fatty acid esters prepared using these solvents did not exhibit precipitation or exhibited minimal precipitation after storage at room temperature (e.g., 15°C). Specifically, the Hansen solubility parameters δD, δP, and δH (all in MPa) of the solvents used in this disclosure were... 1 / 2 ) satisfies either sphere 1-1 or sphere 2-1, as shown by the following equations 1-1 and 2-1. Equation 1-1: (4(δD-19.33) 2 +(δP-8.98) 2 +(δH-11.64) 2 )^ 1 / 2 ≤9 (MPa) 1 / 2 ) Formula 2-1: (4(δD-15.82) 2 +(δP-19.82) 2 +(δH-23.77) 2 )^ 1 / 2 ≤8.9 (MPa) 1 / 2 )

[0023] Starting from the sucrose fatty acid ester that is the subject of this invention, a predetermined distance (MPa) is measured from the hydrophilic portion and the hydrophobic portion, respectively. 1 / 2By using a solvent that fits into the specified area, the target sucrose fatty acid ester can be effectively dissolved. By considering δP (polar component), δH (hydrogen bonding component) which has a significant effect on monoesters, and δD (dispersion component) which has a significant effect on esters with a degree of esterification of 2 or higher, it is believed that the accuracy of fitting to the sucrose fatty acid ester, which is the target of this invention, will be improved, as not only the polarity of the solvent and solute but also the mutual influence between monoesters and esters with a degree of esterification of 2 or higher will be significant.

[0024] Solvents containing coordinates in sphere 1-1 are good solvents for sucrose fatty acid esters because they readily interact with the hydrophobic region. Solvents containing coordinates in sphere 2-1 are good solvents for sucrose fatty acid esters because they readily interact with the hydrophilic region.

[0025] By using a solvent having a Hansen solubility parameter that satisfies either Sphere 1-1 or Sphere 2-1, it is possible to dissolve sucrose fatty acid esters at a high concentration of 12% or more and obtain a liquid composition of sucrose fatty acid esters with good stability and fluidity.

[0026] In this disclosure, the stability of a liquid composition of sucrose fatty acid ester can be evaluated based on the precipitation of sucrose fatty acid ester (or turbidity of the liquid composition) observed visually after mixing sucrose palmitate ester with a solvent, heating to dissolve it, and then allowing it to stand at a constant temperature for a certain period of time. Stability can be observed when the sucrose fatty acid ester is completely dissolved, when there is only slight turbidity, when there is slight turbidity or precipitation, or when there is a small amount of turbidity or precipitation. On the other hand, stability cannot be observed when there is a large amount of turbidity or precipitation. The standing conditions can be, for example, 1 to 10 days at a temperature of 15 to 28°C. Precipitation of sucrose fatty acid ester can be observed from 1 day after standing at a temperature of 15 to 28°C, and the degree of precipitation often does not change thereafter, so the standing period may be shorter. The static conditions are, in particular, 10 days at 15°C, 5 days at 25°C, or 3 days at 28°C, and in some cases, 1 day at 25°C or 30 minutes at 28°C.

[0027] The content of sucrose fatty acid ester in the liquid composition may be 15-50% by weight, 20-50% by weight, or 30-50% by weight of the total liquid composition, and is particularly 20-30% by weight. Alternatively, the content of sucrose fatty acid ester in the liquid composition may be 12-80% by weight, 15-55% by weight, 20-50% by weight, and is particularly 20-45% by weight of the total liquid composition. Even when sucrose fatty acid ester is incorporated in such a high content, the liquid composition according to this disclosure exhibits excellent uniformity because the sucrose fatty acid ester is stably dissolved or dispersed, making layer separation and precipitation less likely to occur. High-content sucrose fatty acid ester compositions can contribute to reducing manufacturing and transportation costs. Furthermore, even when sucrose fatty acid ester is incorporated in such a high content, the liquid composition according to this disclosure exhibits low viscosity and high fluidity. A sucrose fatty acid ester liquid composition with excellent fluidity offers superior handling during use compared to conventional gel-type compositions.

[0028] Hansen solubility parameters of solvents: δD, δP, δH (all in MPa) 1 / 2 ) may further satisfy either sphere 1-2 or sphere 2-2 shown by the following equations 1-2 and 2-2. Equation 1-2: (4(δD-17.79) 2 +(δP-7.09) 2 +(δH-11.3) 2 )^ 1 / 2 ≤7.1 (MPa) 1 / 2 ) Formula 2-2: (4(δD-15.99) 2 +(δP-16.81) 2 +(δH-18.98) 2 )^ 1 / 2 ≤4.8 (MPa) 1 / 2 )

[0029] Furthermore, the Hansen solubility parameters δD, δP, and δH of the solvent (all in units of MPa) are also considered. 1 / 2 ) may further satisfy either sphere 1-3 or sphere 2-3 shown by the following equations 1-3 and 2-3. Equation 1-3: (4(δD-18.02) 2 +(δP-6.37) 2 +(δH-8.52) 2 )^1 / 2 ≤4.7 (MPa) 1 / 2 ) Formula 2-3: (4(δD-15.17) 2 +(δP-14.44) 2 +(δH-13.38) 2 )^ 1 / 2 ≤6.7 (MPa) 1 / 2 )

[0030] Solvents that satisfy these spheres can be appropriately selected based on the known Hansen solubility parameter values ​​for each solvent, or the Hansen solubility parameter values ​​estimated by conventionally known methods, and the above formula. As described above, the δD, δP, and δH of a solvent can be easily estimated from the chemical structure of the solvent using the computer software Hansen Solubility Parameters in Practice (HSPiP).

[0031] The solvent is preferably filled with any of the hydrophobic spheres 1-1, 1-2, or 1-3, as this exhibits high stability and fluidity, and is preferable from the viewpoint of obtaining a liquid composition of sucrose fatty acid ester with a higher concentration.

[0032] The solvent may be one or more selected from the group consisting of alcohols, esters, terpenes, ketones, ethers, amides, amines, halogen compounds, carboxylic acids, furans, hydrocarbons, phenols, sulfoxides, and aldehydes. A solvent satisfying each of the above spheres may be one of these solvents alone. When used alone, the solvent is preferably an alcohol or ester that satisfies each of the above spheres, and more preferably an alcohol. Furthermore, a solvent satisfying each of the above spheres can also be obtained by mixing two or more of these solvents. That is, multiple solvents are mixed in a ratio such that the Hansen solubility parameter of the mixed solvent satisfies each of the above spheres. The Hansen solubility parameter of a mixture of multiple solvents can be calculated using the following formula, with respect to the Hansen solubility parameter and volume fraction of each solvent used: δ i =δ1 i φ1+δ2 iφ2+... (φ1 and φ2 are the volume fractions of the respective solvents. δ 1 is the HSP value. (i refers to D, P, and H). In this invention, even if a single substance is a poor solvent, if the result of combining multiple poor solvents falls within the specified range, it is considered a solvent of the present invention.

[0060] The solvent is preferably one with low toxicity and carcinogenicity, and such a solvent is particularly preferred when the liquid composition according to this disclosure is incorporated into products that may be ingested or come into contact with living organisms, such as food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. Specifically, in terms of toxicity, a solvent with an LD50 value of 1500 mg / kg or higher is preferred, 1700 or higher is more preferred, 2000 or higher is even more preferred, 2500 or higher is particularly preferred, and 3000 or higher is most preferred. Here, LD50 is the amount of drug that causes the death of half of a large number of animals belonging to the same population, i.e., the 50% lethal dose. The LD50 in this disclosure is the value for rats, mice, or rabbits, and can be confirmed in SDS, etc. If LD50 values ​​exist for two or more animals, the minimum value among those LD50 values ​​shall be used. When used in food or pharmaceuticals, an appropriate LD50 value can be referred to according to the application, such as oral administration, or when used in cosmetics, etc. Examples of such solvents include 1-propanol, triacetin, isoamyl phosphate, N-methylformamide, 2-propanol, 1,3-propanediol, propylene carbonate, 1,4-dioxane, ethanol, dimethyl sulfoxide, propylene glycol, glycerin, polysorbate 20, d-limonene, ethyl myristate, ethyl laurate, ethyl oleate, ethyl lactate, ethyl phenyl acetate, ethyl benzoate, diethyl malonate, butyl lactate, 3,5,5-trimethyl-1-hexanol, and water.

[0061] Solvents not classified as Group 1 (Carcinogenic to humans) in the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) carcinogenicity classification (https: / / monographs.iarc.who.int / agents-classified-by-the-iarc / ) are preferred, solvents not classified as Group 1 and Group 2A (Probably carcinogenic to humans) are more preferred, and solvents not classified as Group 1, Group 2A, and Group 2B (Possibly carcinogenic to humans) are even more preferred. Examples of solvents classified as Group 1 include formaldehyde and benzene. Examples of solvents classified as Group 2A include dimethylformamide and dichloromethane. Examples of solvents classified as Group 2B include chloroform, 1,4-dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, pyridine, and methyl isobutyl ketone. On the other hand, water or a solvent assigned a FEMA number is preferred. FEMA numbers can be found in the Flavor Ingredient Library (https: / / www.femaflavor.org / flavor-library / search?fulltext=&synonyms=1). Substances assigned FEMA numbers include cyclohexanone, propylene glycol, glycerin, ethanol, d-limonene, 1-propanol, 2-propanol, ethyl myristate, ethyl oleate, ethyl lactate, butyl lactate, triacetin, 1,3-propanediol, dimethyl sulfoxide, polysorbate 20, ethylphenyl acetate, ethyl benzoate, diethyl malonate, and 3,5,5-trimethyl-1-hexanol.

[0062] When using the liquid composition relating to this disclosure in food products, it is desirable to use water or a solvent that can be used as a food additive. Specifically, it is desirable to select solvents based on the standards of each country, such as "CODEX STAN 192-1995 GENERAL STANDARD FOR FOOD ADDITIVES," "Flavor and Extract Manufacturers Association of the United States (FEMA) Flavor Ingredient Library (https: / / www.femaflavor.org / flavor-library / search?fulltext=&synonyms=1)," designated additives under the Food Sanitation Act (additives listed in Appendix 2 of the Enforcement Regulations), existing additives (additives listed in the Existing Additives List), and general food additives (additives listed in the list of items that are generally consumed as food and used as additives), as well as other solvents based on the standards of each country. Examples of such solvents include furfural, furfuryl alcohol, acetaldehyde, guaiacol, benzyl alcohol, phenethyl alcohol, 1-propanol, triacetin, isoamyl salicylate, 2-propanol, 1, Examples include 3-propanediol, ethanol, dimethyl sulfoxide, propylene glycol, glycerin, polysorbate 20, d-limonene, ethyl myristate, ethyl laurate, ethyl oleate, ethyl lactate, ethyl phenyl acetate, ethyl benzoate, butyl lactate, 3,5,5-trimethyl-1-hexanol, and water.The solvent is preferably any of 1-propanol, isoamyl salicylate, 2-propanol, ethanol, propylene glycol, glycerin, d-limonene, ethyl myristate, ethyl laurate, ethyl oleate, ethyl lactate, ethyl phenyl acetate, ethyl benzoate, butyl lactate, 3,5,5-trimethyl-1-hexanol, and water, and more preferably any of 2-propanol, ethanol, propylene glycol, glycerin, d-limonene, ethyl myristate, ethyl laurate, ethyl oleate, ethyl lactate, ethyl phenyl acetate, ethyl benzoate, butyl lactate, 3,5,5-trimethyl-1-hexanol, and water. In particular, the solvent can be any of glycerin, d-limonene, ethyl myristate, ethyl laurate, ethyl oleate, ethyl phenyl acetate, ethyl benzoate, butyl lactate, and 3,5,5-trimethyl-1-hexanol.

[0063] From the perspective of impact on the final product, it is desirable that the solvent has little flavor. Examples of such solvents include propylene glycol, 1,3-propanediol, triethyl citrate, triacetin, MCT oil, polyethylene glycol 400, glycerin, ethanol, and water.

[0064] Furthermore, from the viewpoint of safety during the manufacture, storage, transportation, and use of the liquid composition, it is desirable for the solvent to have a high flash point. Specifically, the flash point should be 25°C or higher or 30°C or higher, preferably 30°C or higher or 50°C or higher, more preferably 70°C or higher or 100°C or higher, even more preferably 130°C or higher or 150°C or higher, and particularly preferably 200°C or higher. The flash point of the solvent can be found in SDS (Safety Data Sheet) or similar documents.

[0065] The flash point of the liquid composition can be measured using JIS K2265-1:2007 (Tag sealed type) and JIS K2265-4:2007 (Cleveland open type).

[0066] Furthermore, the flash point of a liquid composition can be estimated by considering the sucrose fatty acid ester as a non-volatile substance and using the flash point of the solvent alone as the estimated value. In the case of a liquid composition in which sucrose fatty acid ester is dissolved in a single solvent, the flash point of the solvent is used as the estimated value. In the case of a mixed solvent, the estimated value can be calculated using the following method.

[0067] First, calculate the lower explosive limit at the flash point of the target solvent using the formula: "Vapor pressure at the flash point of each solvent ÷ atmospheric pressure (101.325 kPa) × 100". V = (kPa × M) ÷ atmospheric pressure × 100 V = Volume % of the target solvent at each temperature kPa: Vapor pressure of the target solvent at each temperature M: Molar ratio of the target solvent Atmospheric pressure: 101.325 kPa Next, calculate the temperature at which the target solvent exceeds its lower explosive limit concentration for all solvents in the mixed solvent, and use the lowest temperature as the estimated flash point of the liquid composition using that mixed solvent. The vapor pressure of each solvent at each temperature can be referenced from the software (Aspen).

[0068] 2-propanol is a preferred solvent in terms of its solubility of sucrose fatty acid esters, but since it is classified as a hazardous material or a Class II organic solvent, it is desirable to have a low content. Specifically, it is desirable to have less than 70%, more preferably less than 50%, even more preferably less than 30%, particularly preferably less than 20%, and most preferably less than 10%.

[0069] [Sucrose Fatty Acid Ester] Any sucrose fatty acid ester may be used, provided that the monoester ratio in the total ester is 65% by weight or more, and commercially available products can be used. Sucrose fatty acid ester is a mixture of molecules with different numbers of alkyl groups in the ester bond. The content (monoester ratio) of monoesters having one alkyl group in the mixture is 65% by weight or more, preferably 70% by weight or more, more preferably 75% by weight or more, and particularly preferably 80% by weight or more. Sucrose fatty acid esters become less soluble as the monoester ratio decreases, but the sucrose fatty acid ester in the liquid composition according to this disclosure may have a monoester ratio of less than 90%. The monoester content of the sucrose fatty acid ester can be determined by the area ratio of the chromatogram when GPC analysis is performed using THF or the like as the eluent. The HLB (Hydrophilic-Lipophilic Balance) of the sucrose fatty acid ester is preferably 5 or more, more preferably 8 or more, even more preferably 10 or more, particularly preferably 15 or more, and most preferably 16-18.

[0070] For the sucrose fatty acid ester product "Ryoto (registered trademark) Sugar Ester," the "approximate HLB" (a value preceded by "approx.") listed in the catalog (see Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation's website, http: / / www.mfc.co.jp / product / nyuuka / ryoto_syuga / list.html) can be considered as the HLB for each product (grade). When using other products as sucrose fatty acid esters, the catalog value can also be used to determine the HLB. If the catalog value is unknown, or if a food emulsifier is synthesized and used, the HLB can be determined according to known methods. Methods for calculating HLB include the Atlas method, Griffin method, Davis method, and Kawakami method, as well as methods that determine it from the retention time in high-performance liquid chromatography. For example, (i) if the composition of the fatty acid esters as a synthesized mixture is known, the HLB of each fatty acid ester can be calculated using the Griffin method, and then the weighted average can be considered as the HLB of the fatty acid esters; and (ii) if the composition of the fatty acid esters is unknown, the HLB of the fatty acid esters can be determined by comparing the retention time in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with that of a sample of fatty acid esters with known HLB.

[0071] The sucrose fatty acid ester can be any sucrose fatty acid ester in which the constituent fatty acid has 16 or more carbon atoms, and commercially available products can be used. The more carbon atoms a sucrose fatty acid ester has in its constituent fatty acid, the less soluble it becomes, but the number of carbon atoms in the constituent fatty acid of the sucrose fatty acid ester in the liquid composition according to this disclosure may be 16 or more. The fatty acid-derived structural sites of the sucrose fatty acid ester are structural sites with 16-30 carbon atoms, preferably 16-28 carbon atoms, more preferably 16-22 carbon atoms, and particularly preferably 16-18 carbon atoms, specifically structural sites derived from palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, behenic acid, and erucic acid. The fatty acid-derived structural sites of the sucrose fatty acid ester are preferably derived from saturated fatty acids, more preferably from palmitic acid or stearic acid, and even more preferably from palmitic acid. Depending on the intended use of the sucrose fatty acid ester, the fatty acid-derived structural sites may be derived from only one type of fatty acid or a combination of two or more fatty acid-derived structural sites.

[0072] Specifically, commercially available sucrose fatty acid esters include "Ryoto Sugar Ester S-370", "Ryoto Sugar Ester S-570", "Ryoto Sugar Ester S-770", "Ryoto Sugar Ester S-970", "Ryoto Sugar Ester S-1170", "Ryoto Sugar Ester S-1570", "Ryoto Sugar Ester S-1670", "Ryoto Sugar Ester P-170", "Ryoto Sugar Ester P-1570", "Ryoto Sugar Ester P-1670", "Ryoto Sugar Ester M-1695", "Ryoto Sugar Ester L-1695", "Ryoto Sugar Ester O-170", "Ryoto Sugar Ester O-1570", "Ryoto Sugar Ester B-370", "Ryoto Sugar Ester POS-135" (all from Mitsubishi Chemical), and "DK Ester Examples include "SS", "DK Ester F-160", "DK Ester F-140", "DK Ester F-110", "DK Ester F-90", "DK Ester F-70", and "DK Ester F-50" (all manufactured by Daiichi Kogyo Seiyaku Co., Ltd.). These sucrose fatty acid esters can be used individually or in combination of two or more types.

[0073] The liquid composition according to this disclosure preferably contains sucrose fatty acid esters having 14 or fewer carbon atoms in the constituent fatty acids in an amount of 3% by weight or less, more preferably 2% by weight or less, even more preferably 1% by weight or less, and particularly preferably not containing any at all. Furthermore, the amount of sucrose fatty acid esters having 14 or fewer carbon atoms in the constituent fatty acids is preferably 0.20 parts by weight or less, more preferably 0.10 parts by weight or less, even more preferably 0.05 parts by weight or less, and particularly preferably not containing any at all, per 1 part by weight of sucrose fatty acid esters having 16 or more carbon atoms in the constituent fatty acids. Conventionally, in order to delay the crystallization of sucrose fatty acid esters, it has been practiced to mix sucrose fatty acid esters having a relatively small number of carbon atoms in the constituent fatty acids with sucrose fatty acid esters having a large number of carbon atoms in the constituent fatty acids. However, it is known that sucrose fatty acid esters with a small number of carbon atoms produce a bitter taste when added to food, impairing the flavor of the food.

[0074] The liquid composition according to this disclosure may or may not contain water. If water is included, the water content is preferably 15% by weight or less, more preferably 10% by weight or less, more preferably 5% by weight or less, and most preferably 3% by weight or less, of the total amount of the liquid composition. The water may be hard water, soft water, deionized water, ultrapure water, etc. If water is included in the liquid composition, water also becomes one of the solvents for the sucrose fatty acid ester, so it is necessary that the Hansen solubility parameter of the mixed solvent containing water satisfies each of the above spheres.

[0075] In addition to the components described above, the liquid composition according to this disclosure may contain other additives such as low-molecular-weight emulsifiers, high-molecular-weight emulsifiers, and hydrophobic substances, to the extent that they do not impair the effects of the present invention.

[0076] Specific examples of low molecular weight emulsifiers include nonionic low molecular weight emulsifiers such as glycerin fatty acid esters, polyglycerin fatty acid esters, polyoxyethylene sorbitan esters, propylene glycol fatty acid esters, fatty acid diethanolamides, polyoxyethylene alkyl ethers, and polyoxyethylene alkylphenyl ethers; anionic low molecular weight emulsifiers such as organic acid monoglycerides, sodium stearoyl lactylate, α-sulfo fatty acid ester salts, alkylbenzene sulfonates, alkyl sulfates, alkyl ether sulfate ester salts, and alkyl sulfate triethanolamine; and amphoteric low molecular weight emulsifiers such as lecithin.

[0077] Specific examples of polymer emulsifiers include nonionic polymer emulsifiers such as polyvinyl alcohol, polyoxyethylene alkyl ethers, polyoxypropylene-polyoxyethylene block copolymers, and polymer starch; anionic polymer emulsifiers such as styrene-maleate copolymers, formalin-bound naphthalene sulfonates, polyacrylates, carboxymethylcellulose metal salts, olefin-maleate copolymers, polystyrene sulfonates, acrylamide-acrylate copolymers, and alginates.

[0079] Furthermore, the liquid composition according to this disclosure may contain other additives in addition to the above-mentioned components, to the extent that they do not impair the effects of the present invention, such as fragrances, defoamers, preservatives, smoothing agents, antistatic agents, flame retardants, tackifiers, fillers, ultraviolet absorbers, colorants, antioxidants, functional dyes, and organic solvents.

[0080] The liquid composition according to this disclosure can be manufactured by blending and uniformly mixing the above components in accordance with known general methods for producing aqueous dispersions or emulsions. Specifically, it can be obtained by dispersing the above components. Dispersion can be performed using known agitators such as propellers, turbine discs, pitched paddles, homogenizers, roll mills, ball mills, adiohomomias, and bead mills. After dispersion, sterilization is preferably performed. For example, this is done at 60-99°C for 1-120 minutes. In the case of UHT sterilization, it is preferable to sterilize at 110-150°C with a sterilization value (Fo) at 121°C corresponding to 0.5-30.

[0081] The liquid composition relating to this disclosure is useful in a variety of applications, including as an additive for food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals, as well as an antifogging agent, antistatic agent, compatibilizer, paint, coating agent, water and oil resistance imparting agent for paper, adhesive, dispersant for various organic and inorganic particles, and additive for thermoplastic and thermosetting resins.

[0082] [Food Preparation] The liquid composition relating to this disclosure can be used in particular as a food preparation containing the same and can be added to various foods.

[0083] [Foods] The “foods” that may include the liquid composition relating to this disclosure are not particularly limited, and examples include the following foods: Acidic beverages such as fruit drinks or vegetable juices such as citrus juices and vegetable juices, carbonated drinks such as cola, ginger ale, and cider, soft drinks such as sports drinks and vitamin-containing beverages, alcoholic beverages, and mineral-containing beverages; neutral beverages with a pH of 5-9 such as milk drinks, soup drinks, coffee drinks, cocoa drinks, tea drinks (black tea, green tea, Chinese tea, etc.), and bean and grain drinks; lactic acid bacteria drinks; yogurt; desserts such as jelly, pudding, and mousse; baked goods and steamed goods including Western and Japanese confectionery such as cakes, crackers, biscuits, pies, and manju; rice crackers; snacks Ice cream and sherbet; frozen desserts and frozen desserts; confectionery in general containing chewing gum, hard candy, nougat candy, jelly beans, etc.; sauces such as fruit-flavored sauces and chocolate sauces; creams such as buttercream, flower paste, and whipped cream; jams such as strawberry jam and marmalade; bread such as sweet buns; seasonings such as sauces used for grilled meat, grilled chicken, grilled eel, etc., tomato ketchup, sauces, noodle soup, etc.; processed fish products such as kamaboko; processed meat products such as sausages; retort foods; pickles; tsukudani (simmered food); delicacies; prepared foods; frozen foods, etc.

[0084] "Food" refers to foods that have traditionally been difficult to heat and uniformly mix after adding a food preparation containing sucrose fatty acid ester during their manufacturing process. For example, fermented milk; lactic acid bacteria beverages; foods made primarily from milk; fermented foods such as miso, amazake, and plant-based milk yogurt; or neutral beverages with a pH of 5-9 such as milk beverages, soup beverages, coffee beverages, cocoa beverages, tea beverages (black tea, green tea, Chinese tea, etc.), and bean / grain beverages; whipped cream, bread, curry roux, frozen desserts, Japanese sweets, baked goods, Western sweets, gum, candy / chocolate, snacks, surimi products, sauces, dressings, and shortening fall under the category of such foods and are preferred as foods containing the food preparation according to this disclosure. Furthermore, fermented milk; lactic acid bacteria beverages; or neutral beverages with a pH of 5-9 such as milk beverages, coffee beverages, cocoa beverages, and tea beverages are more preferred, lactic acid bacteria beverages; or neutral beverages with a pH of 5-9 such as milk beverages and coffee beverages are even more preferred, and lactic acid bacteria beverages; or coffee beverages with a pH of 5-9 are particularly preferred. The food formulation according to this disclosure is suitable for packaged beverages and can be applied to, for example, canned beverages, PET bottle beverages, paper carton beverages, bottled beverages, and plastic container beverages, with canned beverages and PET bottle beverages being particularly preferred. Because the food formulation according to this disclosure is in a liquid form with excellent fluidity and uniformity, the heating and uniform mixing processes can be simplified and shortened compared to using conventional food formulations containing sucrose fatty acid esters in powder or gel form, and it may even be possible to completely omit these processes.

[0085] Conventional food preparations containing sucrose fatty acid esters, when mixed with sucrose fatty acid esters containing relatively few carbon atoms, have the problem of imparting a bitter taste to the food due to the sucrose fatty acid esters with fewer carbon atoms. The food preparation according to this disclosure does not contain sucrose fatty acid esters with fewer carbon atoms, thus solving this flavor problem.

[0086] The food contains, in addition to the basic components of a food according to the embodiment, at least the food formulation according to this disclosure, and may further contain any components that are commonly or known in food. The "basic components" of the food are components that are well known and commonly used by those skilled in the art, according to the embodiment of the food. The "optional components" of the food can also be appropriately selected according to the embodiment of the food. The food can be manufactured in basically the same way as conventional foods, except that it includes the process of adding the food formulation according to this disclosure as an emulsifier.

[0087] Food preparations should be mixed with food ingredients and various food additives to an appropriate concentration before use. The content of food preparations in food (the ratio of the weight of food preparations to the total weight of food) is not particularly limited and can be set within an appropriate range, taking into consideration the type of food, the composition of the food preparation, the purpose of adding the food preparation to the food, in particular the type and content of sucrose fatty acid esters in the food preparation, and the effects they have on the food. In food to which the liquid composition according to this disclosure has been added, for example, the concentration of sucrose fatty acid esters may be 50-3,000 ppm, and the concentration of solvents or mixed solvents having predetermined Hansen solubility parameters δD, δP, and δH may be 50-15,000 ppm. The content of sucrose fatty acid esters and solvents in food can be measured according to conventional methods, such as HPLC.

[0099] [Test Example 1: Examination of the solubility of sucrose fatty acid esters in each evaluation solvent] 5 parts by weight of sucrose palmitate (Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation, Ryoto Sugar Ester P-1670, HLB approximately 16, monoester ratio approximately 80% by weight) was added to 95 parts by weight of the evaluation solvents shown in Table 1, and the mixture was allowed to stand at 25°C. After 48 hours, the solubility was visually evaluated according to the following criteria.

[0100] <Solubility Evaluation> 5: Completely dissolved. 4: Almost dissolved, but with a very small amount of undissolved residue. 3: Almost dissolved, but with a small amount of undissolved residue. 2: Significant swelling was observed. 1: Did not dissolve, or swelled slightly.

[0101] The results are shown in Table 1.

[0102]

[0103] [Test Example 2: Calculation of Dissolution Spheres for Good Solvents against Sucrose Fatty Acid Esters] Based on the Hansen solubility parameters δD, δP, and δH of each evaluated solvent in Test Example 1 and the solubility evaluation results, the Hansen dissolution spheres (spheres) of sucrose fatty acid esters were calculated. The δD, δP, and δH of each evaluated solvent can be easily estimated from the chemical structure of each evaluated solvent using the computer software Hansen Solubility Parameters in Practice (HSPiP). Specifically, the δD, δP, and δH of each evaluated solvent were estimated from the chemical structure of each evaluated solvent using the Y-MB method implemented in HSPiP.

[0104] Furthermore, the HSPs of various sucrose fatty acid esters were evaluated. The results showed that sucrose fatty acid esters with a high monoester ratio and HLB, and high crystallinity, were particularly difficult to accurately fit using the method of calculating a single dissolution sphere, which is commonly used for HSP evaluation of other substances. This suggested that sucrose fatty acid esters possess two or more dissolution spheres (HSPs, interaction radii). This was presumed to be due to the presence of a hydrophilic (sucrose) and a hydrophobic (fatty acid) portion with significantly different HSPs within a single molecule. Dissolution spheres of various sucrose fatty acid esters were calculated using the HSPiP Double Sphere algorithm, and a comparison of the hydrophilic and hydrophobic dissolution spheres revealed that substances dissolving sucrose fatty acid esters with a high monoester ratio were distributed within a specific range of the Hansen space. Therefore, each evaluation solvent from Test Example 1 was divided into good solvents or poor solvents for sucrose fatty acid esters according to the following conditions 1-3, and HSPiP 6... th The Double Sphere algorithm in Edition was used to calculate two molten spheres.

[0105] <Condition 1> In Test Example 1, solvents with solubility ratings of 2, 3, 4, and 5 were considered good solvents, and those with a rating of 1 were considered poor solvents. Spheres 1 and 2 were calculated accordingly. Sphere 1: (4(δD-19.33) 2 +(δP-8.98) 2 +(δH-11.64) 2 )^ 1 / 2 ≤9 (MPa) 1 / 2 ) Sphere 2: (4(δD-15.82) 2 +(δP-19.82) 2 +(δH-23.77) 2 )^ 1 / 2 ≤8.9 (MPa) 1 / 2 ) <Condition 2> Spheres 1 and 2 were calculated by classifying solvents with solubility ratings of 3, 4, and 5 in Test Example 1 as good solvents and those with ratings of 1 and 2 as poor solvents. Sphere 1: (4(δD-17.79) 2 +(δP-7.09) 2 +(δH-11.3) 2 )^ 1 / 2 ≤7.1(MPa) 1 / 2) Sphere 2: (4(δD-15.99) 2 +(δP-16.81) 2 +(δH-18.98) 2 )^ 1 / 2 ≤4.8(MPa) 1 / 2 ) <Condition 3> In Test Example 1, spheres 1 and 2 were calculated using solvents with a solubility rating of 5 as good solvents and those with ratings of 1, 2, 3, and 4 as poor solvents. Sphere 1: (4(δD-18.02) 2 +(δP-6.37) 2 +(δH-8.52) 2 )^ 1 / 2 ≤4.7(MPa) 1 / 2 ) Sphere 2: (4(δD-15.17) 2 +(δP-14.44) 2 +(δH-13.38) 2 )^ 1 / 2 ≤6.7(MPa) 1 / 2 )

[0106] The calculation of lysis spheres revealed that the two lysis spheres of sucrose palmitate (Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation, Ryoto Sugar Ester P-1670, HLB approximately 16, monoester ratio approximately 80% by weight) were distributed within specific ranges of the Hansen space, similar to sucrose fatty acid esters, which have a high monoester ratio among the other esters.

[0107] [Test Example 3A: Preparation and Stability Evaluation of High-Concentration Liquid Compositions of Sucrose Fatty Acid Esters] Liquid compositions were prepared by mixing sucrose palmitate ester with solvents according to the formulations shown in Tables 2-1 and 2-2, and then heated to 80°C or 72°C before cooling. Tables 3-1 to 3-3 show the δD, δP, and δH of each solvent, and the distances from the centers of spheres 1 and 2 calculated under conditions 1-3. The specific gravities of each solvent used to calculate the δD, δP, and δH of the mixed solvent are shown below.

[0115] The liquid compositions of the examples and comparative examples were left to stand at 15°C for 10 days, 25°C for 5 days, 28°C for 3 days, 28°C for 30 minutes, or 25°C for 1 day, or 25°C for 3 days, and their stability was visually evaluated according to the following criteria.

[0117] The viscosity of the liquid composition was measured after one week of storage at 25°C. The viscosity of the liquid composition was measured using a rotational viscometer at a rotational speed of 20 rpm in a 25°C environment. The measurement was performed using a Type B viscometer, spindle No. 3.

[0118] The turbidity of the viscous liquid composition was determined according to the transmitted light turbidity measurement method described in JIS K0101:2017. Specifically, using a spectrophotometer, a calibration curve was created using a kaolin standard solution based on the transmitted light intensity of the sample at a wavelength of 660 nm, and the turbidity of the liquid composition was determined.

[0119] The estimated flash point of the viscous liquid composition was calculated as follows: The lower explosive limit at the flash point of the target solvent is calculated using the formula: "Vapor pressure at the flash point of each solvent ÷ atmospheric pressure (101.325 kPa) × 100" V = (kPa × M) ÷ atmospheric pressure × 100 V = Volume % of the target solvent at each temperature kPa: Vapor pressure of the target solvent at each temperature M: Molar ratio of the target solvent Atmospheric pressure: 101.325 kPa Next, the temperature at which the target solvent exceeds its lower explosive limit concentration was calculated for all solvents in the mixed solvent, and the lowest temperature was taken as the estimated flash point of the liquid composition using that mixed solvent. The vapor pressure of each solvent at each temperature was referenced from the software (Aspen).

[0120] The results are shown in Tables 3-1 and 3-3. The viscosity, turbidity, and estimated flash point of Examples 1-30 are shown in Table 3-4. In each table, blank spaces indicate items that were not measured. The estimated flash point of Comparative Example 1-9 is shown in Table 3-5. In Example 1-9, the liquid composition immediately began to flow when the container was inverted, and the entire volume moved downward, showing good fluidity. On the other hand, in Comparative Example 1-4, a large amount of sucrose fatty acid ester crystals were observed. Precipitation occurred after 1 day of standing, and there was no change in the degree of precipitation thereafter.

[0162] [Reference Test Example 1: Correlation Test between the number of carbon atoms and monoester ratio of constituent fatty acids of sucrose fatty acid esters and their solubility] 20 parts by weight of various sucrose fatty acid esters (Ryoto sugar ester, Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation) shown in Table 10 were added to 80 parts by weight of ethanol, the mixture was heated to 60°C, then allowed to stand at 25°C, and the solubility after 5 hours was visually evaluated according to the following criteria.

[0163] <Evaluation of Solubility> 1: A large amount of precipitate was generated. 2: It remained completely dissolved.

[0164]

[0165] The results are shown in Table 10. P-1670 and S-1670, which have a high number of carbon atoms in the fatty acid, precipitated, while L-1695, which has a low number of carbon atoms, dissolved. This suggests that sucrose fatty acid esters, which have a high number of carbon atoms in the fatty acid, present a greater problem of poor solubility. Monoester P, which has a high monoester ratio, dissolved, while P-1670 precipitated. This suggests that when the monoester ratio is 90% or higher, the problem of poor solubility is less pronounced.
