Abstract

To provide a technology to suppress unpleasant odors and tastes of beans.SOLUTION: An unpleasant odor and taste suppressing agent contains exopeptidase as an active ingredient and suppresses one or more of bean odors, bitterness of beans, and harsh taste of beans. According to the present invention, unpleasant odors and taste originating from beans can be suppressed through a simple process of contacting beans or their processed products with exopeptidase, endopeptidase, and / or asparaginase, thereby enhancing the commercial value of food products containing beans.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
