Many foods contain slimy substances, including vegetables such as taro, Chinese yam, okra, water shield, and nameko mushrooms, seaweed such as kombu and wakame, thread-like natto, and fish and shellfish such as eel, conger eel, loach, and abalone. This slime is called slime, and it does not interfere with the taste; rather, it gives the food a unique texture. To remove the slime from taro, peel it, wash it in water, boil it in water, and then rinse it again. If you like slime, just peel it and boil it in hot water. The slime components vary from food to food, but most are glycoproteins. Therefore, a large portion of it can be removed by heating it, rubbing it with salt, or washing it with vinegar.

野菜ではサトイモ、ヤマノイモ、オクラ、ジュンサイ、ナメコ、また、コンブやワカメなどの海藻、糸引き納豆、魚貝類ではウナギ、アナゴ、ドジョウ、アワビなど、いろいろな食品にぬるぬるしている成分がある。それをぬめりというが、味を妨げるものではなく、食品に特有の食感をつくりだしている。サトイモのぬめりを除くには、皮をむいて水洗いし、水煮してからさらに水洗いする。ぬめりを好むなら、皮をむいて熱湯でゆでればよい。ぬめり成分は、各食品により異なるが、多くは糖タンパク質である。したがって、加熱や食塩でこする、酢で洗う、といったことでかなりの分をとることができる。 [河野友美・山口米子・多田鉄之助] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
