PURPOSE:To extract a sea tangle mucilage without heating thereof by dipping a sea tangle cut to a narrow width in an aqueous solution containing an organic acid and/or a salt thereof or water. CONSTITUTION:A preferably dried sea tangle is cut to a narrow width and then dipped in an aqueous solution containing an organic acid and/or a salt thereof or water. Thereby, a mucilage consisting essentially of fucoidan or water-soluble alginic acid of the sea tangle is eluted and applied in the form of a gel to the periphery of the sea tangle. The above-mentioned eluate can be readily dispersed in the solution by stirring. Furthermore, e.g. adipic acid and acetic acid, are cited as the organic acid used and, e.g. sodium acetate and sodium glutamate, are cited as the organic acid salt. A seasoning is added to the aforementioned dipped solution of the sea tangle to afford a nemacystus- like food of the sea tangle, excellent in chewiness and throat passableness and rich in nutritive value. |
