Description

a viscosity-enhancing composition for enhancing dispersibility and a starch-decomposing product containing the metal salt thereof

The present invention relates to a viscosity-increasing composition for improving dispersibility by using a metal salt-containing starch decomposition product.

With the progress of aging, the viscosity-increasing composition used for the purpose of adjusting the viscosity of foods and drinks for those who have difficulty in swallowing, that is, the need for a so-called thickness adjuster is increasing. However, the dispersibility of the xanthan gum, which is the main component of the consistency adjuster, is very low, and the aggregate of the powder added to the water starts to swell from the portion in contact with water, and covers the surface of the aggregate. The shadow water penetrates into the interior of the aggregate and forms a so-called "疙瘩". It is very difficult to completely dissolve such hydrazine, and it becomes a problem in the use of a consistency adjuster.

A number of applications have been made by using a column to improve the dispersibility by modifying the binder liquid used in the granulation of the Sanxian gum powder.

For example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 2004-49225 (Patent Document 1) discloses a technique of granulating a solifying agent such as Sanxian gum or a water-soluble dispersing agent such as dextrin. It achieves good dispersibility and solubility in liquid foods, and low adhesion and high agglutination of foods after gelation or solification.

JP-A-2010-81943 (Patent Document 2), JP-A-2008-61608 (Patent Document 3), and Japanese Patent No. 3930897 (Patent Document 4) develop a technique in which potassium is used. Salt, alginate, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) or metal salt solution as a binder to spray and granulate the powder surface of Sanxian gum, so that it does not It is produced by dispersing, dissolving, and dissolving, and reaches more than 90% of the sharp viscosity 2 minutes after the addition.

Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2008-68194 (Patent Document 5) discloses a technique in which a water-soluble solution is selected by using one or more aqueous solutions selected from the group consisting of calcium chloride, calcium lactate, and calcium pantothenate as a binder. The powder of the polymer is granulated so that the powder of a water-soluble polymer or the like is easily dispersed and dissolved without causing enthalpy even under a weak stirring condition by hand stirring using a spatula or the like.

Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2011-120538 (Patent Document 6) is a technique for developing a technique comprising a thickening polysaccharide and a dextrin by using an aqueous solution containing 18 to 35% by weight of dextrin as a binder liquid. The powder raw material is sprayed and granulated, and the powder raw material contains the CMC sodium salt, whereby the viscosity and the sustainability of the food and beverage are not impaired, and the viscosity is improved and the dispersibility is good, and the visbreaking of the enamel can be suppressed. Granules.

Further, in addition to the improvement of the Sanxian gum, there is also a patent for improving the dispersibility by limiting the type of dextrin added as a dispersing agent. Japanese Patent Publication No. 2006-6252 (Patent Document 7) is a technique for developing a technique comprising a water-soluble polymer having gelation and/or viscosity-increasing properties and a dextrin having a DE value of 5 or less. Granular to prevent lumping of water-soluble polymers.

However, in the case of the consistency adjuster, the above-mentioned prior art method for preventing the occurrence of a lanthanoid system is difficult to achieve an allowable degree, in particular, a method for improving the binder liquid used for spray granulation, in order to make the composition of the manufactured composition constant. , the amount of spray of the binder must be adjusted, and because of the stickiness The solute of the mixture solution causes clogging of the orifice of the spray rotator to cause poor workability, and further improvement of the granulation method is required.
