PURPOSE:A granular mannan having a familiar flavor and fragrance, providing a processed food which will keep its form, obtained by forming a great number of branches and dents on granular paste made from the starch of the devil's- tongue containing glucomannan component in a specific ratio, and blending the granular paste with a coagulable food raw material. CONSTITUTION:Milled flour of a devil's tongue is added little by little to tepid water while stirring. When the water becomes about 70 deg.C, a fire is stopped, the stirring is further continued. When the blend becomes a solid paste, it is cooled. It is rapidly mixed with calcium hydroxide, put in a mold, and aged. It is heated and coagulated completely. The coagulated material is cut into cubes about 2-3cm square, granulated by a cutting mixer immersed in water, to give granular paste made from the starch of the devil's-tongue having 2-8wt.% glucomannan component. Branches and dents are formed on the granules of the paste of devil's-tongue, and sterilized with hot water to give the aimed granular mannan. |
