Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a sour agent widely applicable to food as a result of improved taste, and to provide a new use of raffinose formulated in this sour agent. SOLUTION: This sour agent is obtained by formulating a sour agent with raffinose as a kind of oligosaccharides. Thereby the taste peculiar to the original sour agent can be mitigated, and this sour agent thus obtained is improved in taste so significantly as not to affect the fanciness (deliciousness and gustatoriness) of a food when applied to the food.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, many acidulants have been used for imparting or enhancing sour taste to enhance or improve taste and to improve food preservability. Further, depending on the sour agent, the taste of the food may impair the palatability of the food. For example, for the purpose of imparting a sour taste, lack of mellowness when using a sour agent as a substitute for juice or fermented milk, or the addition of a sour agent to improve the preservability of food may impair the original flavor of food .

The mixing ratio of raffinose and acidulant differs depending on the kind of acidulant used and cannot be specified unconditionally. Usually, however, 0.1% by weight of raffinose is added to 100 parts by weight of acidulant used. Parts or more. More preferably, it is added in a proportion of 0.6 parts by weight or more to obtain the acidulant of the present invention having improved taste quality. Citric acid, acetic acid, and the like used in sour agents have a peculiar taste and taste, and when applied to food, there is a problem that the taste of food is affected. By using raffinose in the above range, the unpleasant taste of each acidulant is improved, and as a result, even when applied to various foods, the taste and taste of the food itself are not killed, and the taste is improved. It can be widely applied to foods as an acidulant.
