METHOD FOR PRODUCING YOGHURT-LIKE FOOD AND DRINK

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing tasty yoghurt-like food and drink comprising fermenting rice with lactobacillus so as to have superior harmonious balance between refreshing fermentation flavor similar to that of milk yoghurt and with the slight sweetness of rice.

SOLUTION: The method for producing yoghurt-like food and drink comprises a starch hydrolysis process in wchich a raw material solution obtained by dispersing gelatinized rice and starch hydrolytic enzyme in water is controlled to have a temperature lower than 75°C so as to make the starch hydrolysis enzyme act on the raw material solution, and a fermentation process where the lactobacillus acts on sugar generated in the starch hydrolysis process.
