The use for a whole muscle product of a preparation containing calcium hydroxide and/or calcium oxide, and trisodium citrate and/or tripotassium citrate in a specific ratio improves the hardness significantly, as well as the water retention and the bindability, providing no troubles in appearance, even without the addition of a phosphate or with a reduced amount of the addition of a phosphate, and the properties thereof are close to those obtained by using a phosphate. <??>The properties much closer to those obtained by using a phosphate are demonstrated by means of using a transglutaminase together with the preparation, resulting from the synergistic increase in hardness of the whole muscle product with an extremely small amount of the addition of a transglutaminase. Further, the increase, with time, in the viscosity of a pickle due to the transglutaminase is significantly prevented by controlling the pH of the pickle within a specific range. |
