PURPOSE:To provide the enzymatic agent obtained from the organic solvent immersion product of a koji, containing an exo type peptidase enzyme produced by the autodigestion of the koji, and efficiently decomposing protein to give a safe protein seasoning solution not containing a bitter taste, containing no salt, and having a body and an excellent taste. CONSTITUTION:The enzymatic agent is obtained from the organic solvent immersion product of a koji produced by the solid fermentation of microorganisms and contains an exo type peptidase enzyme produced by the autodigestion of the koji. The enzymatic agent is preferably obtained by immersing a koji such as soy koji in ethanol so as to give a final concentration of 6-15%, and subjecting the immersed koji to an autodigestion at 5-15 deg.C for 7-10 days. In order to obtain a protein seasoning solution by the use of the enzymatic agent, an animal or vegetable protein raw material is treated with a protein-solubilizing enzyme and subsequently with the enzymatic agent. |
