OIL ABSORPTION RATIO REDUCING MATERIAL FOR FOOD TREATED WITH FATS AND OILS AND METHOD THEREFOR

摘要

PURPOSE:To provide the subject reducing material excellent in reducing action on oil absorption ratio of a food treated with fats and oils by dissolving actomyosin proteins in animal muscles with a salt, providing a gel or further drying and powdering the gel and constructing the food from the prepared gel or powder as a principal ingredient. CONSTITUTION:Actomyosin proteins in muscles of an animal such as chicken or fish is dissolved with a salt to produce a gelatinous actomyosin, which, as necessary, is dried and powdered to produce powdery actomyosin component. As a result, an oil absorption ratio reducing material, consisting essentially of the gelatinous or powdery actomyosin component and used for a food treated with fats and oils is produced. The aforementioned oil absorption ratio reducing material is used by a method for, as necessary, diluting the material with water, applying the diluted material to the surface of the food to be subjected to treatment with the fats and oils or mixing the material in a coating, frying, roasting, frizzling the coated material in an oil, etc. Thereby, the objective food, treated with the fats and oils and having a low oil absorption ratio can be produced.
