Abstract

[Problem] An egg dry ingredient used in instant foods is commonly manufactured using liquid egg or powdered egg by microwave drying, freeze drying after heat processing, or hot air drying. The high environmental burden of animal-based raw materials such as chicken eggs due to a low conversion ratio from feed is regarded as a problem. Due to allergens and other problems, research and development are being conducted to provide an egg-like processed good without the use of animal-based raw materials. The purpose of the present invention is to provide an egg-like dry composition having a mouthfeel three minutes after pouring that is equal to that of scrambled eggs made using eggs, without including animal-based raw materials.

Abstract

Providing a hydrated food which contains theanine and in which theanine content can stably be maintained even when the hydrated food is preserved for a long period of time and the taste threshold of the food can be improved and the peculiar taste can be flavored. The problem can be overcome by a hydrated food containing theanine and pyroglutamic acid. In this case, it is preferable that pH ranges from about 2.8 to about 7.5. Furthermore, it is preferable that a content of pyroglutamic acid ranges from about 1% to about 20% relative to a content of theanine.

Abstract

A product of enzymatic galactomannan decomposition which is excellent in quality including storage stability and has a desired average molecular weight and a desired viscosity is efficiently obtained without fail. The production process includes the following first to third steps. In the first step (S10), the albumen part of seeds of a leguminous plant which contain galactomannan is enzymatically hydrolyzed in an acid region with a hemicellulase reagent. In the subsequent second step (S20), the hydrolysis reaction of the solution obtained through the first step is stopped. In the third step (S30 to S60), the solution after the second step is subjected to centrifugal separation to remove unreacted substances, and the residue is purified, thermally sterilized, cooled, and then neutralized.
