PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a composition containing Okara (bean curd lees) wherein, although it contains Okara, it has a smooth taste and surface, and also has an improved body feeling and a rich flavor without any animal component such as milk component.SOLUTION: An Okara-containing composition is prepared by combining fine Okara having an average particle diameter of 400 μm or less with soybean milk. This Okara-containing composition may further contain sugars including a sugar alcohol or may be pasty. The Okara-containing composition may be produced by a manufacturing method including a pulverizing step of wet-pulverizing raw Okara in the presence of a diluent containing water or soy milk to obtain an aqueous composition containing fine Okara. Furthermore, an Okara-containing composition containing saccharides may be prepared through a heating step in which the aqueous composition obtained in the pulverization step and the saccharide are mixed under heating.SELECTED DRAWING: None【課題】オカラを含んでいても、ザラつきがなく、滑らかな食感を有するとともに、乳成分などの動物性成分を含まずに、ボディ感を向上でき、コクのある風味を有するオカラ含有組成物を提供する。【解決手段】平均粒径400μm以下の微細オカラと豆乳とを組み合わせてオカラ含有組成物を調製する。このオカラ含有組成物は、さらに糖アルコールを含む糖類を含んでいてもよい。前記オカラ含有組成物は、ペースト状であってもよい。前記オカラ含有組成物は、水及び/又は豆乳を含む希釈剤の存在下で原料オカラを湿式粉砕して微細オカラを含む水性組成物を得る粉砕工程を含む製造方法により製造してもよい。さらに、粉砕工程で得られた水性組成物と糖類とを加熱下で混合する加熱工程を経て糖類を含むオカラ含有組成物を調製してもよい。【選択図】なし
