The present invention provides a brine composition for a frozen food which does not raise the freezing temperature even if the ethanol concentration is low, and is therefore able to suppress tissue breakdown caused by the growth of water ice crystals in the tissues (cells) of foods, and a method for producing a frozen food. The brine composition for a frozen food contains 30 to 70% by weight of ethyl alcohol, 0.5 to 10.0% by weight of erythritol, and water. It is preferable that the concentration of the ethyl alcohol is 35 to 60% by weight, the concentration of the erythritol is 0.8 to 5.0% by weight, and the rest is water.
본 발명은 에탄올 농도가 낮아도 냉동온도가 상승하지 않아 식품의 조직(세포)에서 빙정의 성장으로 인한 조직파괴를 억제할 수 있는 냉동식품용 염수조성물을 제공한다. 및 냉동 식품의 제조 방법을 제공한다. 냉동식품용 염수조성물은 에틸알코올 30~70중량%, 에리트리톨 0.5~10.0중량% 및 물을 포함한다. 에틸알코올의 농도는 35~60중량%, 에리트리톨 농도는 0.8~5.0중량%, 나머지는 물인 것이 바람직하다.
