摘要:
A quality-improving agent for processed cereal foods which comprises water-soluble acidic polysaccharides originating in potato. Using this quality-improving agent, efflux of starch from a processed cereal food can be prevented and loss of gloss can be relieved. Further, self-stickiness of the food can be lessened and thus disintegration properties of the food are improved. Furthermore, hot water in which the food is to be reconstituted can be prevented from clouding. That is, the qualities of the processed cereal food can be improved.
摘要:
The invention provides a native gellan gum-containing composition, and particularly based on the multifunctionality thereof, provides freeze/thaw-resistant gel compositions and dehydrated gels and jellies available therefrom, rice cake-like gels and rice cake substitutes, copy foods, cold retention compositions and cooling agents. The invention further provides the use of the above composition as additives for the expression of unique functions, for example a dispersion stabilizer, an additive for thickened compositions, a heat resistance-imparting agent, a syneresis inhibitor, a foam stabilizer, and a food palatability/body-improving agent.
