1. A method for preparing a food or beverage that contains a kokumi-imparting substance, the method comprising:
A) a first step of detecting the calcium receptor activating ability of a test substance, which is an indication of the ability to impart kokumi, by using recombinant cells which have been transformed with a foreign calcium receptor gene, wherein the test substance enhances a taste selected from the group consisting of salty taste, umami taste, sweet taste, sour taste, and combinations thereof; B) a second step of measuring the kokumi-imparting effect of the test substance for which calcium receptor activating ability has been detected in the first step; C) selecting a substance which is effective to both activate the calcium receptor and impart kokumi, and D) combining the substance selected in step C) with a food/beverage, thereby producing said food or beverage that contains a kokumi-imparting substance. |
