In the present invention, the separately prepared proteolytic enzyme (generally, the proteolytic enzyme is also referred to as protease, peptidase or proteinase) is prepared separately from crushed cereals as a starting material. A preparation of a proteolytic enzyme of microbial, plant or animal origin, which disrupts the microorganism or plant or animal cell or tissue producing the enzyme and, if necessary, extracts, fractionates, etc. A preparation of the enzyme which has been subjected to conventional methods for purification and has been partially or completely purified from a source. Although some proteolytic enzymes exhibit various reaction modes, the enzymes used in the present invention are not particularly limited as long as they can increase the γ-aminobutyric acid content when used in the production method of the present invention. Is not limited to the above reaction mode. Proteolytic enzymes are generally classified according to their reaction modes into exo-type proteases that act on peptide bonds at or near the end of the protein and endo-type proteases that act on peptide bonds inside the protein. It is particularly advantageous to use both in combination. Specific examples of the protease that can be used in the present invention include, for example,
Microorganisms such as koji, Bacillus subtilis, mold, and yeast, and endo- and exo-type enzymes prepared from plants such as papaya, and the like, are also commercially available as enzyme preparations for food production. (Sold by Novozymes Japan Co., Ltd.), and the use of these as appropriate is optional. Furthermore, as the proteolytic enzyme, a crushed product of a plant tissue or a microorganism, or a partially purified product or a completely purified product of the enzyme from the crushed product can also be used. For example, germ of cereals such as barley, wheat, and rice, seedlings of cereals or a part thereof, and further, by appropriate treatment such as crushing, extraction, and fractionation from microorganisms such as koji, lactic acid bacteria, yeast, and mold. The prepared protease-containing fraction can also be used. Among the above enzymes, one that is particularly useful in the practice of the present invention is a proteolytic enzyme prepared from koji. The use of the partially or completely purified proteolytic enzyme as described above not only provides a food material having a high content of γ-aminobutyric acid, but also produces unpurified enzymes, such as live microorganisms and cell forms of microorganisms. Since the progress of reactions other than the intended reaction is weaker than when using a plant tissue or the like that maintains the characteristics, a food material that more closely matches the purpose of the present invention in terms of flavor and texture can be obtained. There is.
