Abstract
Disclosed is a cream cheese-like food which is produced by using a soybean protein as a raw material and which has a creamy-smooth mouthfeel like cream cheese and a good flavor/taste. A cream cheese-like food having a creamy-smooth mouthfeel and a good flavor/taste can be produced readily by previously adjusting the soybean protein material to a pH falling within the neutral to alkaline range before reducing the moisture content of a product by reacting the soybean protein with a protease to prepare a soybean protein hydrolysate.
