Abstract
It is an object of the present invention to enhance the α-amylase inhibitory activity of a fenugreek seed component. According to the present invention, the bitter taste of fenugreek seeds can be collaterally reduced. The present invention relates to a processed product of fenugreek seeds obtained by allowing β-glucosidase to act on a fenugreek seed-derived material and the like, and the method for producing the same.
Claims19
A processed product of fenugreek seeds obtained by allowing β-glucosidase to act on fenugreek seeds or a fenugreek seed-derived material.
A method for producing a processed product of fenugreek seeds, comprising the following steps:
- a paste forming step of adding water to a fenugreek seed powder and mixing the resultant for paste forming, or grinding fenugreek seeds or a product thereof that has been steamed or boiled with water for paste forming;
- an enzyme addition step of adding β-glucosidase to a paste-like product obtained in the paste forming step or a raw material used in the paste forming step, and mixing the resultant;
- and
- an enzyme reaction step of causing an enzyme reaction to proceed in the mixture obtained through the paste forming step and the enzyme addition step.
A method for producing a processed product of fenugreek seeds, comprising the following steps:
- a paste forming step of adding water to which β-glucosidase has been added and mixed therewith to a fenugreek seed powder and mixing the resultant for paste forming, or grinding fenugreek seeds or a product thereof that has been steamed or boiled with water to which β-glucosidase has been added and mixed therewith for paste forming;
- and
- an enzyme reaction step of causing an enzyme reaction to proceed in the mixture obtained in the paste forming step.
A method for producing a processed product of fenugreek seeds, comprising the following steps:
- an extraction step of obtaining an extract from fenugreek seeds or a powder thereof by extraction using a solvent;
- an enzyme addition step of adding β-glucosidase to the extract and mixing the resultant;
- and
- an enzyme reaction step of causing an enzyme reaction to proceed in the mixture obtained in the enzyme addition step.
