<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing citrus flavor seasoning as a citrus food raw material containing hesperidin eliminating bitter substance naringin from citrus fruit and having functional properties, and to provide food produced using the raw material. <P>SOLUTION: The method for producing citrus flavor seasoning includes: freezing citrus fruit to denaturalize connective tissue due to freezing to make bitter substance naringin bonded with insoluble pectin in fruit skin meltable so as to be easily separated from fruit skin tissue. The freeze denaturation results in that the bonding is destroyed and the functional hesperidin remains in the fruit skin tissue while the hesperidin in liposoluble flavonoid is bonded with the pectin and protein to partly be soluble. The method includes thawing selectively washed and frozen citrus in flowing water, classifying the fruit skin and fruit flesh, heating the fruit skin to eliminate the naringin as a bitter substance from the fruit skin, cutting the fruit skin into pieces each having an objective size, heating the pieces of the cut fruit skin together with sugar, fruit juice, hollow-ground material, VC, citric acid and the like to produce the citrus flavor seasoning. The food is produced by utilizing the raw material to have functional properties. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
