PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing a ginger processed product in which the content of shogaol is increased while reducing the content of gingerol, and a ginger processed product.SOLUTION: Provided is a method for producing a ginger processed product containing a heating process where a ginger and an aqueous solution of volatile acid are separately arranged, and the ginger is subjected to heating treatment in an atmosphere of vapor produced by heating the aqueous solution of volatile acid. It is preferable that the aqueous solution of volatile acid being an aqueous solution of acetic acid. It is preferable that, as the aqueous solution of volatile acid, an aqueous solution of volatile acid saturated with one or more kinds of inorganic acids selected from magnesium chloride, sodium chloride, calcium chloride and potassium chloride is used.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1COPYRIGHT: (C)2018,JPO&INPIT【課題】ジンゲロールの含有量を低減しつつ、ショーガオールの含有量を高めたショウガ加工物の製造方法及びショウガ加工物を提供する。【解決手段】ショウガと揮発性酸の水溶液とを別々に配置し、前記揮発性酸の水溶液を加熱して生じた蒸気の雰囲気下で前記ショウガを加熱処理する加熱工程を含むショウガ加工物の製造方法等である。前記揮発性酸の水溶液は、酢酸水溶液であることが好ましい。前記揮発性酸の水溶液として、塩化マグネシウム、塩化ナトリウム、塩化カルシウム、および、塩化カリウムから選ばれる1種以上の無機塩で飽和させた揮発性酸の水溶液を用いることが好ましい。【選択図】図1
