Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a packaging material which is individually packaged in close contact with a cut surface on which mildew does not grow, and has good shape-retaining properties and heat-sterilized removability. The present invention relates to a package of processed cheese, cheese food or cheese-like food having white mold grown on the surface thereof. The present invention also relates to a method for producing a package of processed cheese, cheese food or cheese-like food having a good mold retention property and good peeling property of the packaging material and having white mold grown on the surface.

[0002] In the package of the present invention, shape retention is maintained by individual packaging with a packaging material, and cheese is individually packaged with a packaging material used for packaging ordinary foods and the like. Nevertheless, even when heat sterilized, the cut surface on which the mildew does not grow does not adhere to the packaging material, and the packaging material is easily separated from the cheese.

[0003]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, many kinds of soft mildew-based natural cheeses such as Camembert cheese have been marketed as foods with white mold grown on the surface, and are appreciated by many people. In addition, among these soft mildew-based natural cheeses, potion-type products in which the cheeses are cut so as to be easily eaten have been marketed.

[0004] Such a potion-type soft white mold natural cheese, particularly a Camembert cheese, is known which is not sterilized by heating and has no white mold growing on the cut surface. However, in such a non-sterilized type cheese, there is a problem that the cheese ages too much due to the aging of the cheese during storage, which makes it unsuitable for taste in terms of shape retention and flavor.

For this reason, a heat-sterilized potion type soft mildew-based natural cheese has been produced for the purpose of enhancing the preservability. However, in this type of cheese, the cheese is melted by heat sterilization. In order to avoid this problem, white mold is grown on the entire surface including the cut surface so that the shape retention can be maintained even with heat sterilization. However, this time, by growing white mold on the whole surface of the portion of the cheese, the degree of ripening is varied due to the influence of white mold on the ripening of the cheese, and a new problem arises in that the quality of the cheese is not uniform. .

As described above, it has been technically difficult to solve the above-mentioned problems in the potion-type soft mildew-based natural cheese that requires a heat sterilization treatment. Even if it is a potion-type cheese in which white mold does not grow, heat sterilization is possible without losing its shape. However, in such an individually wrapped cheese, there is another problem that the packaging material and the cheese adhere to each other by heat sterilization, and it is difficult to peel the packaging material cleanly.
For example, stretched propylene, polyethylene terephthalate,
The applicant has invented and has already filed an application to secure the releasability of the packaging material by individually wrapping it with a packaging material having a layer of a synthetic resin having a wettability index of 42 or less such as polyethylene (Japanese Patent Application No. 9-1997). 69092).

[0007]

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present inventors can heat sterilize a portion-type cheese having no mold growing on the cut surface without breaking its shape. We have been conducting intensive research to ensure that the packaging material can be peeled cleanly from the cheese without using a suitable packaging material.Instead of using soft mildew-based natural cheese, soft white mold-based natural cheese is used. Processed cheese grown on the surface with mildew to be used for production, by cutting a cheese food or cheese-like food and packaging individually, a portion-type cheese in which mildew does not grow on the cut surface, Can be heat-sterilized without losing shape, and without using special packaging materials such as those used when individually packaging soft mildew-based natural cheese, Found that the release is possible,
The present invention has been completed.

[0008] Accordingly, the present invention provides a surface in which a packaging material is individually packaged in close contact with a cut surface on which mildew does not grow, and is heat-sterilized and has good shape-retaining properties and good releasability of the packaging material. Another object of the present invention is to provide a package of processed cheese, cheese food or cheese-like food in which white mold is grown. Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a package of the above processed cheese, cheese food or cheese-like food.

[0009]

According to the present invention, a process cheese, cheese food or cheese-like food having white mold grown on the surface thereof, which is used in the production of soft mild white natural cheese, is cut and individually packaged. It is characterized by being individually packaged in this way, even if it is a potion type cheese in which white mold does not grow on the cut surface, it can be sterilized by heating without breaking its shape, and it can be peeled from the packaging material. Is good.

Accordingly, the present invention is characterized in that the packaging material is individually wrapped in close contact with the cut surface where the mildew does not grow, and is sterilized by heating, and the packaging material is peeled off. The present invention relates to a package of processed cheese, cheese food or cheese-like food in which mildew is grown on a surface having good properties.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, the processed cheese of the present invention,
A method for producing a package of cheese food or cheese-like food will be specifically described.

First, in the present invention, processed cheese, cheese food or cheese-like food is produced according to a conventional method. Next, process cheese, cheese food or cheese-like food is inoculated with white and white mold of Penicillium genus used for soft white and white mold cheese to grow white mold on the surface, and when the mildew grows moderately, it is aimed. Cut to the appropriate size according to the final product and package it individually. Furthermore, the package body of the processed cheese, cheese food or cheese-like food of the present invention can be manufactured by heat sterilizing the individually packed packaging band.

In the present invention, the white and white fungus to be inoculated is most preferably a Penicillium white and white fungus. When the flavor is controlled, yeast or Geotricum may be mixed. In addition, the processed cheese, cheese food or cheese-like food may be cut, for example, as a commercially available portion-type processed cheese (a circular processed cheese having a diameter of about 10 cm and divided into 6 to 8 parts), The shape is not particularly limited either, and may be any shape and size such as a rectangle, a square, a triangle, etc. that can be individually packaged. In addition, the packaging material for individually packaging the cut processed cheese, cheese food or cheese-like food can be tightly adhered to the cut surface, can prevent leakage of the cheese when sterilized by heating, and has good peelability from the cheese. Packaging materials used when packaging ordinary foods and the like, such as polyvinylidene chloride, parchment paper, or a packaging material comprising two or more layers of aluminum and synthetic resin with good dead-holding properties. can do. In this way, processed cheese, cheese food or cheese-like food is prepared, and mildew used for producing soft mildew-based natural cheese is grown on the surface, and cut and individually packaged to cut. Even a portion-type cheese in which white mold does not grow on the surface can be heat-sterilized without losing its shape, and a package having good releasability from the packaging material can be obtained.
