PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide modified gluten having a good flavor and high viscosity by as simple a method as possible.SOLUTION: Provided is a method for producing modified gluten comprises the steps of: mixing gluten dispersed or dissolved in water and a water-soluble soybean polysaccharide, and adjusting the mixture to a pH of 3 or more and less than 5.5 or to a pH of 10 or more and 12 or less and drying the mixture. Further provided is a method for preparing modified gluten, in which, after the pH adjustment, the mixture is preferably dried after neutralizing the mixture to a pH of 5.6 or more and less than 8. Also provided is the method for producing modified gluten, in which the water-soluble soybean polysaccharide is added in an amount of 0.01 to 30 wt.% relative to the weight of solids of gluten.SELECTED DRAWING: NoneCOPYRIGHT: (C)2017,JPO&INPIT【課題】なるべく簡易な方法で、風味が良好で、高い粘性をもった改質グルテンの提供。【解決手段】水に分散あるいは溶解したグルテンと水溶性大豆多糖類を混合し、該混合液をpH3以上5.5未満あるいはpH10以上12以下に調整する工程、該混合液を乾燥する工程を含む改質グルテンの製造方法。更に、混合液をpH調整後、pH5.6以上8未満に中和した後乾燥することが好ましい改質グルテンの調整方法。グルテンの固形物重量に対して水溶性大豆多糖類を0.01~30重量%添加する改質グルテンの製造方法。【選択図】なし
