METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING POWDERY MATERIAL FOR CONFECTIONERY OF LOW HYGROSCOPICITY

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for manufacturing powdery material for confectionery of low hygroscopicity by which the powdery material for confectionery of low hygroscopicity can be efficiently produced and further a state of good smell can be held without damaging the smell in the powdery material for confectionery emitting characteristic aroma. SOLUTION: In the method for manufacturing powdery material for confectionery in which the powdery material for confectionery is manufactured by pulverizing corn raw material, a preliminary pulverizing process in which the corn raw material is roughly pulverized by a hammer to grain size of 6 to 10 mesh and a main pulverizing process in which the roughly pulverized grain is finely pulverized by a rapid rotary pulverizer to grain size of 80 to 200 mesh are performed in two steps of pulverizing processes. Between these two steps of pulverizing processes, the corn raw material and fatty acid ester of glycerin are blended and agitated to obtain a uniform mixture and then the mixture is subjected to the main pulverizing process.
