PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prepare an antibacterial agent synergistically exhibiting inhibitory action on the growth and development of a great many kinds of microorganisms growing in starch food in a small quantity consumed without impairing the taste by including a phosphate, an organic acid (or its salt) and a glycerin fatty acid ester as effective ingredients. SOLUTION: This antibacterial agent comprises (A) a phosphate such as sodium pyrophosphate, (B) an organic acid (or its salt) (e.g. sodium lactate or the like) and (C) a glycerin fatty acid ester such as glycerin monocaprate as effective ingredients. The contents of the ingredients A, B and C are preferably 5-30 wt.%, 10-20 wt.% and 5-15 wt.%, respectively. The agent is preferably added to starch food in a content of 0.5-2 wt.%, and can prevent the rot and taste degradation due to bread mold or the like in the distribution process of starch food (especially partially cooked food or instant food).
