<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a soy sauce containing Ponsu (juice pressed from a bitter orange) and giving the taste of pickled plum while leaving the taste and flavor of a citrus fruit in contrast with a conventional product produced by simply mixing pickled plum pulp in a soy sauce containing Ponsu to cause the diffusion of the taste and flavor of the pickled plum to the whole sauce even by using a finely divided plum pulp and, consequently, lose the flavor of the citrus fruit and give decreased characteristic strong acid taste and flavor of the pickled plum. <P>SOLUTION: The Ponsu soy sauce is composed of citrus fruit juice, soy sauce, or the like, contains a thickening component composed of xanthan gum to increase the viscosity of the sauce and is mixed with the skin and pulp of pickled plum finely divided after removing the stone. The method for the production of the Ponsu soy sauce comprises the preparation of a stock sauce from a citrus fruit juice, a soy sauce, or the like, the mixing of the stock sauce with a mixture of xanthan gum and sugar at normal temperature to increase the viscosity of the sauce and the mixing of the product with pickled plum produced by finely dividing the pulp of unskinned pickled plum after removing the stone from the plum. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO |
