Abstract
A protein hydrolysate comprising at least two types of peptides, characterized in that the rate of hydrolysis of protein is from 30 to 45%, the number average molecular weight is 300 or less, and the ratio of a weight average molecular weight to the number average molecular weight is greater than 1 and 2 or less, has excellent emulsifiability, and antigenicity thereof is low enough to be used for people who has predisposition to allergic diseases. This protein hydrolysate is obtained by hydrolysis of a protein starting material to a rate of hydrolysis in the range of 30 to 45%, and then bringing it into contact simultaneously or separately with two types of porous synthetic adsorbent respectively having an average pore radius of 2 to 8 nm and an average pore radius of 20 to 30 nm, the total surface area of the two porous synthetic adsorbents being in a range of 300 to 3000 mper 1 g (protein equivalent) of the obtained protein hydrolysate, and recovering the non-adsorbed component.
