A method is provided that can form a clear textural structure image of a processed food or a raw material for the processed. Also, said method can form an image clear enough to clearly discern even an intertwined structure of starches, proteins and lipids of a processed food or a raw material for the processed food. The method includes light-exciting the processed food or the raw material for the processed food which is stained with a fluorescent dye having triphenylmethane skeleton; collecting data about the light-excited processed food or the light-excited raw material using at least three kinds of monitoring lights, that is, a monitoring light A having a fluorescence wavelength of 380 nm or longer and shorter than 450 nm, a monitoring light B having a fluorescence wavelength of 450 nm or longer and shorter than 560 nm, and a monitoring light C having a fluorescence wavelength of 560 nm to 700 nm; and forming an image on the basis of the collected data.

A method for producing breads by use of a yeast which has been transformed with a photoprotein expression recombinant vector, the vector containing a fragment of a yeast-derived agglutinin gene and a gene coding for a photoprotein. The present invention enables to produce breads having a soft flavor of fermentation and exhibiting excellent expansion, thinly and uniformly stretched internal grain, and a smooth, good-shaped external appearance.

A method for analysis of the textural structure of a food of a multi-component dispersion system, in which a food of a multi-component dispersion system is stained with a fluorescent dye, and observing the stained food within a wavelength range lower than the value calculated by subtracting 40 nm from the maximum absorption wavelength of the employed fluorescent dye. The method enables image analysis through stereoscopic visualization of the textural structure of a food of a multi-component dispersion system.
