NOVEL FISH ROE PROCESSED FOOD AND ITS PRODUCTION

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To impart novel texture not possible with a common salt without the degradation of a dehydration effect by adding an alkaline metal salt of gluconic acid to raw fish roe. SOLUTION: The alkaline metal salt of the gluconic acid, such as sodium gluconate or potassium gluconate, is added at preferably >=5 pts.wt. and more preferably 5 to 30 pts.wt. to 100 pts.wt. raw fish roe. The alkaline metal salt of the gluconic acid may be added together with the common salt to the fish roe. The fish roe processed food which has excellent preservation stability and is restricted in sodium or does not contain the common salt at all in spite of possession of adequate salty taste is produced.
