However, among the conventional methods, the method 1) of injecting a proteolytic enzyme immediately before slaughter reduces the efficiency of the slaughter work, and therefore has hardly been performed. Further, the method of the above 2) by electrical stimulation and high temperature aging, and the above 4)
Mechanical softening methods such as Tenderizer are not sufficiently effective, and therefore need to be used in combination with another softening method. Furthermore, the method of adding a proteolytic enzyme to the cut meat of the above 3) and reacting it is the most effective, but generally used papaya-derived papain, pineapple-derived bromelain, etc. have a vegetable astringency. Therefore, there is a problem that the taste of meat is hindered and the taste remains unnatural. Further, JP-A-4-278063 does not suggest treating meat with a melon extract to soften it.
