摘要

PURPOSE:To obtain the subject new food capable of being willingly eaten even by a child and having suitability as a food by compounding the dry flesh of pickled ume (Japanese apricot) or the dry product of the extract of the pickled ume with an excipient. compression-molding the mixture and subsequently coating the molded products with sugar. CONSTITUTION:1 pt.wt. of the solid content of the dry flesh of pickled ume and/or the dry product of the extract of the pickled ume is compounded with 0.25-2.5 pts.wt. of an excipient (preferably lactose, dextrin or starch) and subsequently compression-molded preferably with a tableting machine. The surfaces of the molded products are coated with sugar to obtain the objective food. The sugar coating is preferably performed by rolling the molded nuclei with a centrifugal coating device, etc., scattering powder sugar on the nuclei and simultaneously spraying a sucrose syrup to adhere the syrup on the surfaces of the nuclei.
