This invention relates to the development of a method and process of enrichment of a fructan of Agave Tequilana Weber and Oaxacan Agave Angustifolia Haw in a prebiotic drink with unique characteristics that offers the prebiotic effect in probiotic and animal strains, using the in vitro and in vivo method. The developed process of enrichment protects the unique fructan against the polimerization grade change, thus allowing the preservation of its innate prebiotic characteristics.

The present invention relates to the provision of a bactericidal, antiviral preparation obtained from the process of forming a homogeneous solution mixture by mixing an emulsion of butter extract. The method of making this composition is a systematic technical solution to create a multi-polar substance that can dissolve easily in water but still has to be soluble in oil, along with an osmotic substance that dissolves the lipid layer capsid inactivates the virus. Compositions obtained from this method have the effect of bactericidal, antiviral, environmental treatment-deodorizing-anti-pollution in order to meet the urgent needs of people, society and environment.

[Problem] The present invention addresses the problem of providing a method for manufacturing a variety of seasoning ingredient liquids having a high extract solids content, the method making it possible to prevent a decrease in collection rate due to burning and quality degradation due to microbial contamination while improving productivity through a continuous heating process performed for a short period of time, and to impart superior flavors and impart flavors in a more versatile manner while inhibiting the destruction of taste-contributing components. [Solution] As a result of thoroughgoing investigations into solving the above problem, the inventors of the present invention perfected the present invention upon discovering a method for manufacturing a seasoning in which a direct steam-heating cooker is used, whereby a desired flavor is imparted in a mild manner within 60 seconds while a continuous heating treatment at 130 C. or above is performed, and destruction of taste-imparting components can be minimized.
