Title:
TASTE-IMPROVING AGENT FOR POTASSIUM-CHLORIDE-CONTAINING FOODS AND BEVERAGES AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCING POTASSIUM-CHLORIDE-CONTAINING FOODS AND BEVERAGES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/089764
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is a taste-improving agent for potassium-chloride-containing foods and beverages that is capable of effectively improving the unfavorable taste typical of potassium chloride, such as bitterness and acridity, without negatively affecting the taste of such foods and beverages. Also provided is a process for producing highly-palatable potassium-chloride-containing foods and beverages having reduced bitterness and acridity of potassium chloride. The process involves the use of enzyme-decomposed seaweed, which is obtained by decomposing seaweed with an enzyme, in order to improve the taste of potassium-chloride-containing foods and beverages. The enzyme-decomposed seaweed is preferably a product obtained by decomposing seaweed with at least one type of enzyme selected from the group consisting of cellulase, glucanase, pectinase, alginate lyase, mannanase, and protease.
