PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a taste imparter for providing a cooked food such as instant curried food or retort stew with a cooking feeling and body taste.;SOLUTION: This taste imparter comprises an extract obtained by extracting a shallot and/or onion with an alcoholic solvent and removing the solvent from the extracted solution. A shallot and/or anion is extracted with an alcoholic solvent at a temperature as low as possible not to freeze the shallot and/or onion and the solvent is removed from the extracted solution to give the objective taste imparter. The extraction temperature is properly -20C to 5C, preferably -15C to -5C. The taste imparter does not only enhance the flavor of a cooked food but also mask elements such as roasting feeling, sour taste, essence feeling, powdery texture, etc., and provide a cooked food such as curry food, stew, white sauce, etc., with original abundant cooking feeling and deep body taste.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2002,JPO
