Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for producing a modified food containing a protein and a preparation for modifying a food containing a protein are provided. A food raw material containing a protein is treated by using an oxidizing agent and/or an oxidoreductase in combination with a metal and/or a metal-containing substance to produce a food containing a protein.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A method for producing a modified food containing a protein, the method comprising: treating a food raw material containing a protein with an oxidoreductase, and a metal and/or a metal-containing substance, provided that such a method wherein the oxidoreductase is a glucose oxidase, the metal and/or metal-containing substance is metal-containing yeast, and the food containing a protein is a processed aquatic food is excluded. 2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the oxidoreductase consists of one or more kinds of enzymes selected from glucose oxidase, ascorbate oxidase, and phenol oxidase. 3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the metal-containing substance is metal-containing yeast. 4 . The method according to claim 3 , wherein the metal-containing yeast consists of one or more kinds of yeast selected from iron-containing yeast, chromium-containing yeast, copper-containing yeast, magnesium-containing yeast, and vanadium-containing yeast. 5 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the metal-containing substance is a metal salt. 6 . The method according to claim 5 , wherein the metal salt is an iron salt. 7 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the food containing a protein consists of one or more kinds of foods selected from a rice processed food, wheat processed food, egg processed food, meat processed food, and milk processed food. 8 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein 0.0001 to 100 U of the oxidoreductase is added per 1 g of the food raw material. 9 . The method according to claim 3 , wherein 0.00000025 to 0.0027 g of the metal-containing yeast in terms of dry weight is added per 1 g of the food raw material. 10 . The method according to claim 1 , which further comprises adding a substrate of the oxidoreductase. 11 . A preparation for modifying a food containing a protein, the preparation containing: an oxidoreductase; and a metal and/or a metal-containing substance, provided that such a preparation wherein the oxidoreductase is a glucose oxidase, the metal and/or metal-containing substance is metal-containing yeast, and the food containing a protein is a processed aquatic food is excluded. 12 . The preparation according to claim 11 , wherein the oxidoreductase consists of one or more kinds of enzymes selected from glucose oxidase, ascorbate oxidase, and phenol oxidase. 13 . The preparation according to claim 11 , wherein the metal-containing substance is metal-containing yeast. 14 . The preparation according to claim 13 , wherein the metal-containing yeast consists of one or more kinds of yeast selected from iron-containing yeast, chromium-containing yeast, copper-containing yeast, magnesium-containing yeast, and vanadium-containing yeast. 15 . The preparation according to claim 11 , wherein the metal-containing substance is a metal salt. 16 . The preparation according to claim 15 , wherein the metal salt is an iron salt. 17 . The preparation according to claim 11 , wherein the food containing a protein consists of one or more kinds of foods selected from a rice processed food, wheat processed food, egg processed food, meat processed food, and milk processed food. 18 . The preparation according to claim 11 , which contains 0.00000005 to 0.0005 g of the metal and/or metal-containing substance in terms of metal amount per 1 U of the oxidoreductase contained in the preparation. 19 . The preparation according to claim 13 , which contains 0.000001 to 0.01 g of the metal-containing yeast in terms of dry weight per 1 U of the oxidoreductase contained in the preparation. 20 . The preparation according to claim 11 , which further contains a substrate of the oxidoreductase.
