PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a food additive which is used for emulsifying and thickening food, can inhibit the water-oil separation of a liquid food comprising a mixture of an aqueous solution with oil, can simultaneously thicken the liquid food to give a creamy state or facilitate its swallow. SOLUTION: This food additive which is used for emulsifying and thickening the food, is obtained by mixing 40 to 60 pts. of starch, such as potato starch, and 40 to 60 pts. of a hydrophilic colloid gum, such as guar gum particles, granulating the mixture in a dry state, and then classifying and grading the obtained granules with No.18 sieve and No.100 sieve, contains 40 to 60 pts. of the starch and 40 to 60 pts. of the hydrophilic colloid gum, has a particle diameter of 150 to 850 μm, a specific volume of 0.2 to 0.4 g/cm3, and a viscosity of 500 to 700 mPa.s when dissolved in water in an amount of 1.5%. |
