PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for manufacturing a powder composition excellent in fluidity from hygroscopic and sticky saccharides such as honey, and a saccharide-containing powder composition obtained by the method.SOLUTION: A saccharide-containing powder composition includes at least one saccharide selected from the group consisting of an invert sugar and an isomerized sugar and at least one starch selected from the group consisting of an oxidized corn starch, a sago starch, and an oxidized sago starch, with a content ratio of the starch to the saccharides of 1/2 to 1. A method for manufacturing a saccharide-containing powder composition includes the steps of mixing at least one saccharide selected from the group consisting of an invert sugar and an isomerized sugar and at least one starch selected from the group consisting of an oxidized corn starch, a sago starch, and an oxidized sago starch in a heated state in water, and pulverizing the mixture obtained in the mixing step, with the mixture having a content ratio of the starch to the saccharides of 1/2 to 1.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】ハチミツをはじめとする、吸湿性が高くべたつきやすい糖類を、流動性に優れた粉末組成物とする方法、及び当該方法により得られた糖含有粉末組成物の提供。【解決手段】転化糖及び異性化糖からなる群より選択される1種以上の糖類と、トウモロコシ酸化でん粉、サゴでん粉、及びサゴ酸化でん粉からなる群より選択される1種以上のでん粉とを含有し、前記でん粉の含有量が前記糖類の含有量の1/2~1倍量である、糖含有粉末組成物、及び転化糖及び異性化糖からなる群より選択される1種以上の糖類と、トウモロコシ酸化でん粉、サゴでん粉、及びサゴ酸化でん粉からなる群より選択される1種以上のでん粉とを水中で加熱混合する混合工程と、前記混合工程により得られた混合物を粉末化する粉末化工程とを有し、前記混合物における前記でん粉の含有量が前記糖類の含有量の1/2~1倍量である、糖含有粉末組成物の製造方法。【選択図】なし
