PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To produce a treated UME (a fruit of Prunus mume) obtained by forming a ground meat of flesh consisting essentially of an unripe UME or a ripe UME, having a natural taste, a good texture and a long shelf life while keeping a good appearance by forming a membrane of a thickened polysaccharide on the surface of the flesh part and imparting a releasing material on the surface. SOLUTION: This method for producing a treated UME has both a step for refrigerating an unripe UME or a ripe UME and crushing the refrigerated UME to remove a seed and grinding the crushed and taken out flesh and forming the ground UME into a prescribed shape by a forming machine 10 and a step including processes 18 and 21 for drying the formed flesh. The ground and formed flesh is dipped into a liquid 11 containing a thickened polysaccharide to form a membrane after forming and before drying the ground UME. A releasing material is imparted by an atomizer before or during the drying step. The flesh preferably contains about 5wt.% common salt. |
