Method for stabilizing taste-modifier

摘要

A method for stabilizing a taste-modifier comprising fresh Curculigo latifolia fruits, dried fruits thereof or a curuculin-containing material obtained therefrom which comprises heating said taste-modifier to 50 DEG to 90 DEG C.; or subjecting said taste-modifier to ultrahigh-temperature short-time pasteurization at 110 DEG to 150 DEG C. for two seconds to two minutes; is disclosed. Curuculin is a coined name for protein extracted from C. latifolia. Either of these methods enables the stable preservation of said taste-modifier, which is in the form of a crude product or an aqueous solution, for prolonged period of time.
