CURDLAN-CONTAINING COMPOSITION, PRODUCT INCLUDING CURDLAN-CONTAINING COMPOSITION, AND METHOD OF PRODUCING PRODUCT INCLUDING CURDLAN-CONTAINING COMPOSITION

摘要

To provide a curdlan-containing composition which hardly causes aggregates when dispersed or dissolved in water and from which a curdlan dispersed or dissolved liquid can be easily prepared, a product such as food containing the curdlan-containing composition, and a method of producing the product such as food containing the curdlan-containing composition.SOLUTION: A curdlan-containing composition of this invention contains curdlan and alkaline salt thereof, in which the curdlan and the alkaline salt are granulated; the granulated particles have a volume average particle diameter in a 90-1000 μm range; a ratio of the granulated particles having a volume average particle diameter of 50 μm or less is 10% or less of the total particles; the alkaline salt content weight is 10 or more when the curdlan content weight is assumed to be 100; and a pH value of a dispersed or dissolved liquid obtained by dispersing or dissolving the curdlan composition in water falls in a 10-13 range.SELECTED DRAWING: None
