PURPOSE:To obtain a food containing edible fiber and effective in ameliorating constipation by dissolving roasted dextrin in water, treating the solution with alpha-amylase and using the obtained dextrin containing edible fiber in combination with an oligosaccharide. CONSTITUTION:The objective food composition is composed mainly of an oligosaccharide and a dextrin containing edible fiber and produced by treating an aqueous solution of roasted dextrin with alpha-amylase. In order to eliminate the irritant smell and disagreeable taste of the dextrin in high efficiency, the roasted dextrin used as a raw material is preferably the one produced by adding an aqueous solution of a mineral acid (preferably hydrochloric acid) to a starch raw material, preliminarily drying to a water-content of about 5% and roasting the product. Especially preferable oligosaccharide is the one assimilable with Bifidobacterium having intestinal function controlling action, e.g. fructo- oligosaccharide, isomerized lactose, galacto-oligosaccharide and partially decomposed inulin. |
