Abstract
To provide a production method for softened food that includes seeds and nuts as raw materials and has sufficient softness while suppressing deterioration of appearance, shape and taste.SOLUTION: A production method for softened food includes: a water absorption step A of allowing seeds and nuts to absorb water; a heating step B of heating the water-absorbed seeds and nuts at 110-135°C; a permeation step C of allowing the seeds and nuts to be permeated with an enzyme that decomposes a predetermined substrate in the seeds and nuts; and an enzyme reaction step D of subjecting the enzyme-permeated seeds and nuts to an enzyme reaction at an enzyme active temperature.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
