PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain the subject complex excellent in functions such as texture and shape-retaining property and excellent also in vegetable fiber effect by including a specific fine cellulose and a galactomannan, decomposed material at a specific ratio. SOLUTION: This cellulose-containing complex is obtained by including (A) 20-99 wt.% fine cellulose, (B) 1-80 wt.% galactomannan decomposed material and (C) as necessary, monosaccharide, oligosaccharide, starches, oils and fats, proteins, emulsifier, thickening stabilizer, perfume, pigment, etc. When the resultant cellulose-containing complex is dispersed in 1% concentration in water by stirring, average particle diameter of the component A is <=30 μm and preferably, a ratio of fraction having >=10 μm particle diameter in particle distribution in this time is <=80%. The complex is made to collapse and dispersed in a state of respective particle of component A when the complex is stirred in water. The complex can be used, e.g. for favorite beverage, enriched beverage, ice milks, milk products, oil and fat-processed foods, seasonings, Japanese and Western confectioneries, etc. |
