QUALITY IMPROVING AGENT FOR STARCH-CONTAINING FOOD PRODUCT AND STARCH COMPOSITION CONTAINING THE QUALITY IMPROVING AGENT

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a quality improving agent for a starch food product, having excellent effects such as improvement of palatability, improvement of taste and flavor and antiaging effect and free from synthetic additives and to obtain a starch composition containing the quality improving agent.;SOLUTION: The quality improving agent for the starch-containing food product is produced by mixing and dispersing a peptide, a protein and a lipid in water and complexing the mixture by emulsification treatment. The weight-average molecular weight of the peptide is preferably 200-10,000 and the amounts of the peptide, the protein and the lipid are preferably 1-30 pts. mass, 50-70 pts. mass and 20-40 pts. mass, respectively, based on 100 pts. mass of the mixture of the peptide, the protein and the lipid. The starch composition is produced by mixing a starch-containing material with the quality improving agent. The amount of the quality improving agent is preferably 0.0005-0.1 pt. mass in solid basis based on 100 pts. mass of the starch in the starch-containing material.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
