摘要

PURPOSE: To provide pseudo rice having taste and palate feeling which are scarcely different from those of conventional rice and capable of suitably complying with needs of obesity preventing function, intestinal environment-improving function and the like which are present in people troubled by conventional problems of obesity and the like caused by eating only polished rice containing a main component of carbohydrate as staple food, and a method for producing the pseudo rice as low calorie food.CONSTITUTION: Pseudo rice contains at least 90 to 99 mass% (or 80 to 99 mass%) of alginic acids (for example, sodium alginate), 1 to 10 mass% (or 1 to 20 mass%) of salts capable of being common salt, and optionally contains a trace amount of a coagulating agent comprising calcium chloride and the like and is processed so as to have a size and a shape approximate to those of polished rice, and a method for producing the same.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
