Abstract

The present invention relates to a process for the production of branching enzyme, and a method for improving the qualities of food products therewith. According to the present invention, a large amount of branching enzyme with a high specific activity can be easily obtained, and employment of the branching enzyme in food processing remarkably improves the qualities of food products without changing the desirable inherent properties of their amylaceous constituent(s); thus, said food products retain their qualities over a long period of time, prolonging extremely their shelf lives.
