METHOD FOR PRODUCING MEAL CONTAINING MANNNOSE

摘要

A method for producing meal containing mannose, wherein powder particles containing cellulose and/or hemicellulose is mixed with the swollen composition obtained by having mannan decomposition enzyme function to Arecaceae plant-derived meals such as copra meal and/or palm kernel meal followed by the drying process. Production rate of mannose is increased by causing reaction under high level of water content, in addition to which drying efficiency is increased by mixing hygroscopic fiber materials to the swollen composition, an enzymic reactant, and thus meal containing mannose can be produced with high efficiency and good economical performance.
