<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide fiber- or pulp-like new palatability-having unprocessed pregelatinized starch, its production method; and to provide applications of the unprocessed pregelatinized starch to food and drink materials, or to foods and drinks. <P>SOLUTION: The fiber- or pulp-like new palatability-having unprocessed pregelatinized starch, can be produced by the followings. After pregelatinizing unprocessed starch containing ≥25 wt.% amylose, as a starting material, by thermally treating it with a drum dryer etc., the resultant pregelatinized product is subjected to such treatment as pulverization and selection so as to obtain the pregelatinized starch having ≥250 μm of a particle diameter. The new palatability-having pregelatinized starch has excellent heat resistance, acid resistance, refrigeration/freezing resistance, etc., providing new palatability-having foods and drinks by using it for production of various foods and drinks. The pregelatinized starch can efficiently be produced at a low cost by eliminating a treatment such as chemical treatment due to the above, the same starch can be produced by thermal treatment using a drum dryer etc. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT |
