KEEPING QUALITY-IMPROVING AGENT FOR FOOD AND STRICTLY ANAEROBIC BACTERIUM PROLIFERATION INHIBITOR

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a keeping quality-improving agent or a strictly anaerobic bacterium proliferation inhibitor each capable of sufficiently suppressing growth of a strictly anaerobic bacterium (particularly bacterium belonging to the genus Clostridium) by such a small amount of addition as not to impair the taste of foods even when adding it to foods.;SOLUTION: The keeping quality-improving agent for foods (or a proliferation inhibitor of strictly anaerobic bacterium in the foods) comprises a glycerol fatty acid ester as a main ingredient and corn fermented powder as a dispersing agent. The keeping quality-improving agent for foods (or a proliferation inhibitor of strictly anaerobic bacterium in the foods) comprises, preferably, the glycerol fatty acid ester, the corn fermented powder, an inorganic salt and an organic acid salt. A deoxidized packaged food (particularly solid or highly viscous food) is obtained by formulating a food with the keeping quality-improving agent (or the proliferation inhibitor of strictly anaerobic bacterium in the foods).;COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
