Abstract:
1. A method for producing a food product, comprising dissolving the enzyme preparation in a solution, shifting the pH of the resulting solution to a pH range where the expression of transglutaminase activity is suppressed, and mixing the solution and a food material to shift the pH of the resulting mixture back to a pH range where the transglutaminase activity is expressed whereupon a transglutaminase reaction is carried out, wherein said enzyme preparation comprises: a transglutaminase; collagen; and an acidic or alkaline substance shifting the pH of the enzyme preparation, when dissolved in a solution, to a pH range wherein the expression of transglutaminase activity is suppressed, wherein the pH range where the expression of transglutaminase is suppressed is pH 3 or more to less than pH 5 or pH 10-12.
