Description

本発明は、甘味を有する飲食品に使用可能な甘味増強剤に関し、詳しくは4,5−エポキシ−2E−デセナール、ワインラクトン、アントラニル酸メチル、フェニル酢酸またはチグリン酸エチルを有効成分として、飲食品の甘味の増強効果を付与することができる甘味増強剤、食品用香料と当該甘味増強剤とを含む甘味増強用香料組成物、並びにそれらを添加した飲食品に関する。 The present invention relates to a sweetness enhancer that can be used in foods and drinks having a sweet taste. The present invention relates to a sweetness enhancer capable of imparting the sweetness enhancing effect of the above, a sweetness enhancing flavor composition containing a food flavor and the sweetness enhancer, and foods and drinks to which they are added.

糖質は生物にとって欠くことのできない栄養素であるが、過剰な摂取は肥満や糖尿病などの疾病の要因とされる。例えば、厚生労働省の発表した結果によれば、男性の肥満者の割合は28.6%、女性の肥満者の割合は20.3%(平成25年「国民健康・栄養調査」)、糖尿病の総患者数は316万6,000人(平成26年)に上ると言われ、いずれも深刻な生活習慣病である。
ショ糖(砂糖)をはじめ果糖やブドウ糖など高カロリーの糖質性甘味成分の過剰摂取による国民の健康問題は欧米ではより深刻である。そのため、減糖対策の一環として飲食品中の砂糖の量に応じて課せられる税制度(砂糖税、シュガータックス、砂糖入りの炭酸飲料が主な対象であることからソーダ税などとも呼ばれる。)が導入、または導入の検討が米国をはじめ複数の国で進められている。こうした背景の中、食品メーカーでは糖質オフやカロリーゼロを謳った商品の開発が盛んになっており、多くの食品カテゴリーで低カロリー化の流れがある。
一般に、減糖化する場合、既存の配合から糖質を抜くだけでは飲食品の味のバランスが悪くなり、消費者が物足りなさを感じるという問題点がある。
Sugar is an essential nutrient for living organisms, but excessive intake is considered to be a factor in diseases such as obesity and diabetes. For example, according to the results announced by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, the proportion of obese men is 28.6%, the proportion of obese women is 20.3% (2013 "National Health and Nutrition Survey"), and diabetes. The total number of patients is said to be 3,166,000 (2014), all of which are serious lifestyle-related diseases.
The health problems of the people due to excessive intake of high-calorie sugary sweet ingredients such as sucrose (sugar), fructose and glucose are more serious in Europe and the United States. Therefore, as part of sugar reduction measures, a tax system (also called sugar tax, sugar tax, and soda tax because sugar-containing carbonated drinks are the main targets) is levied according to the amount of sugar in food and drink. Introduction or consideration of introduction is underway in multiple countries including the United States. Against this background, food manufacturers are actively developing products that claim to be sugar-free and have zero calories, and there is a trend toward lowering calories in many food categories.
In general, in the case of glycation reduction, there is a problem that the taste balance of foods and drinks becomes unbalanced just by removing sugar from the existing formulation, and consumers feel unsatisfactory.

一方、非糖質系甘味成分、例えば、アスパルテーム、ステビア、アセスルファムK、スクラロース、ネオテームなどの低カロリーの高甘味度甘味料を使用した飲食品が増加している。
しかし、このような高甘味度甘味料は、ショ糖の数十倍から数千倍の甘味度を有するという優れた性能を持つ反面、飲食時に不快な苦味、エグ味及び収斂味を与える他、甘味が長く持続するため味の切れが悪く、結果として呈味の質がショ糖に比して劣り、消費者に不快な甘味感を与えるという欠点を有している。したがって、そうした不快味をさらに改善する必要に迫られる。
したがって、単純に糖質系甘味成分を使わないあるいは減量することは、飲食品の呈味に影響を及ぼし、需要を減じることが懸念される。
On the other hand, foods and drinks using low-calorie high-intensity sweeteners such as aspartame, stevia, acesulfame K, sucralose, and neotame are increasing.
However, while such a high-sweetness sweetener has an excellent performance of having a sweetness of several tens to several thousand times that of sucrose, it gives an unpleasant bitterness, astringent taste and astringent taste when eating and drinking. Since the sweetness lasts for a long time, the taste is not sharp, and as a result, the quality of the taste is inferior to that of sucrose, which gives the consumer an unpleasant sweetness. Therefore, it is necessary to further improve such unpleasant taste.
Therefore, it is feared that simply not using or reducing the amount of the sugar-based sweetening component affects the taste of foods and drinks and reduces the demand.

上記のような問題を解決するため、飲食品に含まれる糖質系甘味成分の量を増量しなくても、甘味を増強させることができる甘味増強物質が提案されている。
例えば、特許文献1には、甘味増強物質として下記式のキノリン系化合物が提案されている。

Figure 0006931289
In order to solve the above problems, a sweetness-enhancing substance capable of enhancing sweetness without increasing the amount of sugar-based sweetness components contained in foods and drinks has been proposed.

特許文献1、特許文献2、特許文献3、特許文献4の甘味増強物質はいずれも化学的な合成により得られる物質であるため、実用化には安全面での課題があると言わざるを得ない。 Since the sweetness-enhancing substances of Patent Document 1, Patent Document 2, Patent Document 3, and Patent Document 4 are all substances obtained by chemical synthesis, it must be said that there is a safety problem in their practical use. No.

特許文献5では、炭素数3〜10の直鎖脂肪族アルデヒド類及び炭素数4〜10の直鎖脂肪族アルコール類から選択される1種又は2種以上を有効成分とする味覚増強剤が記載され、甘味も増強しうると記載されている。
しかしながら、甘味以外に塩味なども増強してしまうことから、適用する飲食品によっては制約がある。
Patent Document 5 describes a taste enhancer containing one or more selected from linear aliphatic aldehydes having 3 to 10 carbon atoms and linear aliphatic alcohols having 4 to 10 carbon atoms as active ingredients. It is stated that the sweetness can also be enhanced.
However, since saltiness and the like are enhanced in addition to sweetness, there are restrictions depending on the food and drink to be applied.

特許文献6では,甘味増強剤として3−ヒドロキシ安息香酸若しくはその塩と2,4−ジヒドロキシ安息香酸若しくはその塩との組み合わせて用いることが提案されている。し

そこで、消費者の多様な嗜好性を満たすためさらなる改善が求められている。
Patent Document 6 proposes to use 3-hydroxybenzoic acid or a salt thereof in combination with 2,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid or a salt thereof as a sweetness enhancer. However, the proposal is specialized for chewing gum, which has a long chewing time, and has a drawback in versatility.
Therefore, further improvement is required to satisfy the diverse tastes of consumers.

本発明の課題は、消費者の健康志向に合致して、甘味成分を増量することなく、甘味を増強できる、すなわち甘味度をアップしうる甘味増強剤、しかも、より自然で飲食品の嗜好性(飲食品本来の風味)を損なうことがない甘味増強剤、食品用香料と当該甘味増強剤とを含む甘味増強用香料組成物、並びにそれらを添加した飲食品を提供することにある。
上記甘味増強剤等の甘味増強効果により、飲食品に含まれる糖質系甘味成分を減じて減量前と同程度の甘味度を保持した飲食品を提供することができる。
The subject of the present invention is a sweetness enhancer that can enhance sweetness without increasing the amount of sweetness component, that is, can increase the degree of sweetness, in line with the health consciousness of consumers, and more naturally, the taste of foods and drinks. It is an object of the present invention to provide a sweetness enhancer that does not impair (the original flavor of a food or drink), a sweetness enhancer composition containing a food flavor and the sweetness enhancer, and a food or drink to which they are added.
Due to the sweetness-enhancing effect of the sweetness enhancer and the like, it is possible to provide a food or drink that retains the same degree of sweetness as before weight loss by reducing the sugar-based sweetness component contained in the food or drink.

本発明者らは、より自然で飲食品の嗜好性を損なうことなく甘味を増強する効果を付与することができる成分を鋭意検討した結果、従来、それ自体に甘味が無く且つ甘味増強作用についても知られていなかった香料物質に、より甘味が増強すること、さらに、複数の香料物質を組み合わせて用いることによって、さらに甘味を増強する効果が大きくなることを見出した。
すなわち、4,5−エポキシ−2E−デセナール、ワインラクトン、アントラニル酸メチル、フェニル酢酸、チグリン酸エチルを、各々単独で、または2種以上を組み合わせることで、極めて嗜好性に優れ、かつ自然で飲食品の風味を損なうことなく甘味増強効果を付与できる甘味増強剤の提供が可能になるという新たな事実を見出し、本発明を完成するに至った。
As a result of diligent studies on ingredients that are more natural and can impart the effect of enhancing sweetness without impairing the palatability of foods and drinks, the present inventors have conventionally had no sweetness in themselves and also have a sweetness enhancing effect. It has been found that the sweetness is further enhanced by the unknown fragrance substance, and further, the effect of further enhancing the sweetness is enhanced by using a plurality of fragrance substances in combination.
That is, by using 4,5-epoxy-2E-decenal, wine lactone, methyl anthranilate, phenylacetic acid, and ethyl tiglic acid alone or in combination of two or more, they are extremely palatable and naturally eaten. We have found a new fact that it is possible to provide a sweetness enhancer capable of imparting a sweetness enhancing effect without impairing the flavor of the product, and have completed the present invention.
