SOYBEAN PROTEIN-CONTAINING JAM

摘要

It is intended to provide a jam-like acidic food suitable for bread by which soybean protein can be efficiently and delectably taken. Namely, it is intended to provide a jam-like food which contains soybean protein and has a smooth and transparent texture and a refreshing and delicious flavor while sustaining its acidic nature. A jam-like food maintaining the color and flavor inherent to a fruit and having a visocous texture similar to jams and a high transparency can be obtained by heating a solution containing an acid-soluble soybean protein and sugars. By heating the product together with a fruit, moreover, a jam-like food having an improved fruit flavor close to jams can be obtained. As a side effect, it becomes possible thereby to produce a jam-like food having a smaller sugar content than the existing jams.
