PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an albedo removal method for citrus fruits for efficiently obtaining high-quality fruit pulps.SOLUTION: An enzyme solution including at least one type selected from a group of a cellulase enzyme, a pectinase enzyme, and a hemicellulase enzyme is brought into contact with albedo of citrus fruits, and processing treatment including enzyme treatment is performed, with the enzyme solution coming into contact with the albedo, at a low temperature of less than 20°C for three hours or more or 15 hours or more, thereby obtaining albedo-removed citrus fruit pulps.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】本発明は、効率的かつ高品質の果肉を得るための柑橘類果実の内皮除去方法を提供する。【解決手段】セルラーゼ系酵素、ペクチナーゼ系酵素、およびヘミセルラーゼ系酵素からなる群から選択される、少なくとも1種を含む酵素液と柑橘類果実の内皮を接触させ、酵素液と内皮が接触した状態で、20℃未満の低温で3時間以上、あるいは15時間以上酵素処理することを含む加工処理を行って、内皮が除去された柑橘類果肉を得る。【選択図】なし
