Liquid food composition

摘要

Provided is a liquid food composition capable of semi-solidifying in the stomach, which is a one-pack type product containing a water-soluble dietary fiber preliminarily added thereto and in the form of a liquid that can be easily taken, and stably sustains the liquid nature thereof during distribution and storage. The liquid food composition, which is capable of semi-solidifying in an acidic region, comprises a water-soluble dietary fiber (a), a specific metal compound (b), a protein (c) and an emulsifier (d), and the particle size distribution of particles contained in said liquid food composition shows two or more peaks in a neutral region.

1. A liquid food composition, comprising:
0.3 wt % to 5.0 wt % of a water-soluble dietary fiber (a); a metal compound (b) containing a necessary mineral component for humans and not causing gelation of the water-soluble dietary fiber at a pH of 5.5 to 10.0; a protein (c); and an emulsifier (d), wherein the liquid food composition is semi-solidified at a pH of 5.5 or less, wherein particles in the liquid food composition have a particle size distribution with two or more peaks at the pH of 5.5 to 10.0, wherein a first peak of the two or more peaks in the particle size distribution is at a particle size of 3,000 nm or smaller, wherein a second peak of the two or more peaks in the particle size distribution has an inflection point at a particle size of about 10,000 nm, wherein a curvature of a curve in the particle size distribution is positive from a particle size of about 3,400 nm to the particle size of about 10,000 nm, and wherein the curvature of the curve in the particle size distribution is negative at a particle size of about 10,000 nm or higher.
