A method for producing an aroma composition from an animal or plant material, including: holding an adsorbent in a bag and putting the bag in a bag holder inside an aroma compound adsorbing device, fragmenting an animal or plant material to give crude fragmented pieces of the material containing minor fragments, removing the minor fragments from a gas containing aroma compounds emitted from the material in its fragmentation and minor fragments, introducing the gas from which the minor fragments have been removed into the adsorbent to adsorb the aroma compounds, taking out the bag from the bag holder, and collecting the aroma compounds from the adsorbent to prepare an aroma composition containing the aroma compounds, and the bag holder has a mesh lid at its both ends, and the bag has pores not passable by the adsorbent； the method is excellent in handleability of the adsorbent.
