<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a carbohydrate and a foodstuff combined with the same by clarifying a carbohydrate having a special structure that can surely improve property of a foodstuff. <P>SOLUTION: The carbohydrate for improving property of a foodstuff contains a carbohydrate, whose glucose-polymerization degree is at least 600, in a proportion of not more than 30% to the total carbohydrate and contains also a carbohydrate, whose glucose-polymerization degree is 200-600, in a proportion of 10% to 100% to the total carbohydrate, and a relative ratio of a part of a straight-chain sugar of at least 40-sugar against the total straight-chain sugar comprised of both main-chain and branched-chain in the carbohydrate other than a carbohydrate whose glucose-polymerization degree is less than 40 is 0.1-1.0%. A foodstuff containing the same, a sugar composition containing the carbohydrate and a natural starch, and a foodstuff containing the sugar composition are provided. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
