PURPOSE:To obtain delicious pickled vegetables having desirable taste and flavor, in a short time, by adding fermenting rice bran, etc. to rice bran enriched with soluble nitrogen, and fermenting the mixture keeping the pH within a specific range. CONSTITUTION:A proteinous food is added to rice bran and/or wheat bran to increase the protein content, and the mixture is treated with protease to decompose the proteins and increase the soluble nitrogen content. The rice bran, etc. thus treated is mixed with fermenting rice bran and/or wheat bran, and fermented by keeping the pH at 4.4-5.8. A fermented product having desirable flavor can be obtained by this process. The product is concentrated or dried to obtain a fermented and treated material, which is used as a raw material of the objective pickling bed. The fermented product can be used as the pickling bed as it is; however, it is convenient to mix the product with salt and if necessary organic acids, seasoning components, flavoring components, etc. to obtain pickled vegetables readily without using additional salt. |
