In order to resolve the overproduction problem of 11B in supernova explosions during Galactic chemical evolution, the dependence of the ejected masses of the light elements produced through the nu-process in supernova explosions on supernova neutrino parameters is investigated and constraints on the supernova neutrinos are evaluated. Detailed nucleosynthesis in a supernova explosion model corresponding to SN 1987A is calculated by postprocessing. The ejected masses of 11B and 7Li depend strongly on the temperature of mu- and tau-neutrinos and their antiparticles and are roughly proportional to the total neutrino energy. The range of temperature of mu- and -tau neutrinos and their antiparticles appropriate for the amount of 11B necessary for Galactic chemical evolution and the total neutrino energy deduced from the gravitational energy of a typical neutron star is between 4.8 MeV and 6.6 MeV. In the case of neutrino energy spectra with non-zero chemical potential, this range decreases by about 10%.
