PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of producing salt-reduced pickled plums having efficacy, flavor and aroma that are original to pickled plums, by using slaked lime that is effective with minute addition, without adding a large amount of additives such as alcohol, vinegar, and saccharides.SOLUTION: In a raw plum washing process before pickling raw plums, sterilization is performed using slaked lime (calcium hydroxide). As a result, salt-reduced pickled plums are made possible by almost the same work process as the conventional method of producing pickled plums, without going through a complicated producing process.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】 アルコールやお酢そして糖類などの添加剤を多量に添加しないで、微量添加で効果のある消石灰を使用して、梅干し本来の効能および味と香りを持った減塩梅干しの製造方法を提供する。【手段】 生梅を漬ける前の生梅洗浄工程の中で、消石灰(水酸化カルシウム)による殺菌を行うことにより、複雑な製造工程を踏まず、従来の梅干し製造方法とほとんど同じ作業工程で減塩梅漬けが可能となる。
