GELLING AGENT COMPRISING AGAR-MODIFIED GELATIN AND FOOD CONTAINING SAID AGENT

摘要

A gelling agent comprising agar and gelatin which rapidly gels at a temperature below 10 DEG C and remelts at a temperature of 20 DEG C to 80 DEG C; and a food product comprising food ingredients and the gelling agent. The gelling agent gels rapidly and firmly and has a remelting temperature arbitrarily adjustable. When used for producing a food product, this agent can simplify the process steps and remarkably improve the productivity. As the remelting temperature of the food product can be adjusted to a temperature suitable for eating the food, it is possible to impart the function of indicating the termination of heating to the food product.
