The present invention provides a method for producing a food product
containing nattokinase but containing little or none vitamin K2,
comprising treating a Bacillus natto culture or culture supernatant with
at least one coagulant selected from the group consisting of an inorganic
coagulant and a cationic polymer coagulant (excluding chitosan). As the
inorganic coagulant, calcium chloride or poly aluminum chloride is
preferable, and their mixtures with a phosphorus coagulant are also
preferably used. As the cationic polymer coagulant, cationic
polysaccharides, hexamethylenediamine/epichlorohydrin polycondensates or
dimethylamine/epichlorohydrin polycondensates are preferably used, and
their mixtures with a polyacrylate are also preferably used.
