MIXTURE OF PROCESSED SOYBEAN COMPRISING INDIVIDUAL SOYBEAN CELLS DIPSERED THEREIN WITH UNSATURATED FATTY ACID, AND FOODS AND DRINKS CONTAINING THE PROCESSED SOYBEAN AND UNSTURATED FATTY ACID

摘要

A mixture of processed soybean comprising individual soybean cells dispersed therein, in which protein grains and fat spheres are maintained in a normal state with little damage in cell wall or cell membrane, with an unsaturated fatty acid or an unsaturated fatty acid-containing material. It is preferable to use at least one of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) as the unsaturated fatty acid, or to use a DHA-containing powder or fat as the unsaturated fatty acid-containing material. It is particularly preferable to produce the processed soybean by enzymatically treating with soybean using a pectinase produced by a microorganism belonging to the genus Bacillus. Because of having little odor characteristic to soybean or unsaturated fatty acids, consumers can add this mixture to desired food materials and take them, which makes is possible to intake soybean components and unsaturated fatty acids from various cooked products with good tastes.
