Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for improving the flavor of starch by incubating the starch with an enzymatically active peptidase containing cell preparation under such conditions that enzymatic peptidolysis of a substantial amount of oligopeptides in the starch is the result, which incubation is, optionally, preceded or followed by a non-enzymatic purification step such as steam stripping or solvent extraction. The starch is suited for incorporation into food products, such as spreads.
