PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a salad including an acidic o/w-type emulsified food excellent in terms not only of storage stability even in a case of having been subjected to severe storage conditions such as temporarily abiding in a frozen state or a high-temperature state of approximately 40°C but also of transportation and storage aptitudes in the course of the distribution thereof.SOLUTION: The acidic o/w-type emulsified food included within the salad exhibits, granted that the temperature and complex viscosity of the food bears a specified relation, an excellent storage stability even in a case of having been subjected to severe storage conditions such as temporarily abiding in a frozen state or a high-temperature state of approximately 40°C and can prevent, on an occasion where the food is mixed with foodstuffs following the storage of the former, the oil separation and syneresis of the food. So long as this specified relation of the acidic o/w-type emulsified food is satisfied, a salad imparting a favorable appearance and taste can be prepared at any time regardless of the storage conditions of the food in question.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】一時的に冷凍状態になったり、40℃程度の高温状態になるなどの過酷な保管条件におかれた場合においても保存安定性に優れ、物流での搬送、保管適性に優れた酸性水中油型乳化食品を含むサラダを提供する。【解決手段】サラダに含まれる酸性水中油型乳化食品は、該食品の温度と複素粘性率とに特定の関係に保つとき、一時的に冷凍状態になったり40℃程度の高温状態になるなどの過酷な保管条件におかれた場合においても保存安定性にすぐれ、保管後に該食品と食材とを和えた際に該食品に油分離や離水が生じたりすることを防止できる。酸性水中油型乳化食品をこの特定の関係に保つとき、保管条件に関わらず、良好な外観と食味を有するサラダをいつでも調製することができる。【選択図】図1
