LACTIC FERMENTATION PRODUCT HIGHLY CONTAINING MALTOOLIGOSACCHARIDE, METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME, FOOD AND DRINK OR FEED CONTAINING THE SAME, OR RAW MATERIAL THEREOF

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a lactic fermentation product highly containing maltooligosaccharide, which is produced by forming the lactic fermentation product containing a maltooligosaccharide by a single step and utilizable directly for foods, drinks, feeds, or the like.

SOLUTION: A lactobacillus having starch decomposing ability is cultured and subjected to lactic acid fermentation in a medium containing a carbon source composed mainly of starch at a hydrogen ion concentration or temperature to suppress proliferation of the lactobacillus while making living cells of the lactobacillus survive. Glucose and maltose are consumed and maltotriose and/or maltotetraose are accumulated by the fermentation to obtain the lactic fermentation product highly containing maltooligosaccharide.
