Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a processed plant protein-containing composition, wherein the method exhibits a high decolorizing activity for plant protein-containing compositions and is able to suppress residual levels of hydrogen peroxide. The method for producing a processed plant protein-containing composition includes a step for adding hydrogen peroxide to a plant protein-containing composition and a step for adding a hydrogen peroxide-degrading enzyme. This method exhibits a high decolorizing activity for plant protein-containing compositions and can suppress the residual level of hydrogen peroxide in the processed plant protein-containing composition.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A method for producing a processed plant protein-containing composition, the method comprising: a decoloring step of subjecting a plant protein-containing mixed composition containing a plant protein material, hydrogen peroxide, and water to a decoloring reaction; and a hydrogen peroxide removing step of causing a hydrogen peroxide degrading enzyme to act. 2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein a content of the hydrogen peroxide in the plant protein-containing mixed composition is 0.5 wt % or more. 3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the plant protein is derived from pulses. 4 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the plant protein material is untextured. 5 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the plant protein material is textured. 6 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the hydrogen peroxide degrading enzyme is catalase. 7 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the catalase is derived from the genus Aspergillus. 8 . A method for decoloring a plant protein-containing composition, the method comprising: a decoloring step of subjecting a plant protein-containing mixed composition containing a plant protein material, hydrogen peroxide, and water to a decoloring reaction; and a hydrogen peroxide removing step of causing a hydrogen peroxide degrading enzyme to act. 9 . A plant protein-containing food and drink product, comprising a processed plant protein-containing composition obtained by the method according to claim 1 .
