PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide the composition which can add to the food a full-bodied taste effectively.SOLUTION: (A)Glutamyl-Valyl-Glycine or its salt, also (B) a composition includes free amino acid or its salt. It is preferable that the concentration of (A) in the food is added to the food so as to be 0.3 to 250 ppm by weight and that the concentration of (B) in the food is added to the same so as to be 0.3 to 250 ppm by weight. The weight ratio of the content of (A) to the content of (B) in the composition is preferably 1: 0.01 to 300.SELECTED DRAWING: None【課題】食品にコク味を効果的に付与できる組成物の提供。【解決手段】(A)グルタミルバリルグリシン又はその塩、並びに(B)遊離のアミノ酸又はその塩を含有する組成物。食品における(A)の濃度は0.3~250重量ppmとなるように食品に添加され、又、食品における(B)の濃度が0.3~250重量ppmとなるように添加されることが好ましい。組成物における(A)の含有量と(B)の含有量の重量比が、1:0.01~300であることが好ましい。【選択図】なし
