PURPOSE: To obtain a readily edible paste made from the starch of the devil's- tongue, easily cookable, having removed an offensive smell of the devil's-tongue, by blending tuberous roots of devil's-tongue with a reducing saccharide and water to form a paste and reacting the paste with a salt of calcium as a gelatinizing agent under heating. CONSTITUTION: Roots of devil's-tongue or its powder is mixed with a reducing saccharide such as glucose, fructose, maltose, lactose, xylose, arabinose or galactose and water to give a paste. The paste is reacted with a salt of calcium, potassium or sodium (e.g. milk of lime) under heating to give the objective paste made from the starch of the devil's-tongue. |
