PURPOSE:To obtain fine particles of KONJAK (paste made from the starch of devil's tongue) having essentially the same texture as the steric reticulate fiber texture of KONJAK gel and containing essentially all water in the form of occlusion water by roughly cutting raw KONJAK, washing with water, dehydrating the washed KONJAK and finely cutting the product. CONSTITUTION:The objective KONJAK fine particles can be produced by roughly cutting raw KONJAK to an average particle diameter of 1-10mm, washing with hot water of 40-60 deg.C, dehydrating the washed KONJAK and finely cutting with a high-speed cutter to a particle diameter of 30-500mum and a weight ratio of 40-60% (preferably particle diameter of <=5mum and weight ratio of 40-60%). |
