PURPOSE:To obtain the title improver containing a partially decomposed product of wheat protein having a specific molecular weight and lecithin as active ingredients, free from problem of toxicity, usable without anxiety, having excellent emulsion stability ands useful for mayonnaise, etc. CONSTITUTION:The objective improver containing as effective ingredients, a decomposed product of wheat protein obtained by subjecting wheat protein to decomposing treatment with an alkali, acid, enzyme, a reducing agent or an oxidizing agent or by the combination of at least two among them and having 3000-110000 weight-average molecular weight; and lecithin consisting of phospholipid containing phosphatidyl cholin as the main ingredient. Furthermore, the partially decomposed product of protein and lecithin are preferably compounded in a weight ratio of 3/1 to 1/5 and the improver improves emulsion stability of acidic food such as mayonnaise or dressing. |
