METHOD FOR PRODUCING DOUGH ENRICHED WITH GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a food material enriched with γ-aminobutyric acid and usable as it is in conventional food production processes.

SOLUTION: This invention provides (1) a method for producing a γ-aminobutyric acid-enriched dough by adding water to cereal flour and kneading the mixture to form ≥10 mg of γ-aminobutyric acid per 100 g of the dough from glutamic acid in the dough, (2) a method for producing a γ-aminobutyric acid-enriched dough described in the item (1) wherein the cereal flour contains embryo and/or periderm, (3) a method for producing the γ-aminobutyric acid-enriched dough described in the item (1) or (2) wherein the preparation of the dough is carried out in the presence of a glutamic acid source, and (4) a food produced from the dough produced by the method described in the item (1), (2) or (3).
