PURPOSE:To provide foods and drinks with excellent physical properties such as moisture retention, coloring properties, crystal precipitation prevention, low sweetness, film-forming properties and body forming ability in production of foods and drinks, by adding a glucide consisting essentially of maltotetraose. CONSTITUTION:In producing foods and drinks, a glycine consisting essentially of maltotetraose is added to the foods and drinks to improve qualities thereof. A glucide containing >=40% based on solid content of maltotetraose and <=3% based on slid content of glucose is proper as the glucide consisting essentially of maltotetraose. The glucide consisting essentially of maltotetraose, for example, can be produced by liquefying various starches with a liquefying enzyme into about 5-10 D.E, treating the starch liquefied solution with a maltotetraose forming enzyme and alpha-1,6-glucosidase to give a saccharide solution, purifying and concentrating. |
