Abstract: Provided is a method for collecting an objective substance such as vanillin from a fermentation broth. Upon collecting an objective substance from a fermentation broth containing the objective substance by solvent extraction using an organic solvent, emulsification during the solvent extraction can be prevented by treating the fermentation broth with a protease and then subjecting it to the solvent extraction, or by carrying out the solvent extraction with an agitation power adjusted to a predetermined range, and thereby the objective substance can be collected from the fermentation broth.
