PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a food and drink which quickly expresses viscosity, do not cause coagulative separation under a pH acidic state, and can give excellent ingestion/swallowing aptitude with proper hardness and settled feeling, in view of the fact that there are problems that: when using thickening polysaccharide with thickening properties for a fluid food containing relatively a large amount of protein, lipid and mineral component, a liquid food such as cow milk, and an acidic liquid food such as juice, an addition amount is increased in order to obtain moderate thickening properties and hardness so as to increase stickiness and homogeneous thickening is not obtained to separate components due to that thickening polysaccharide and protein cause an agglutination reaction under a pH acidic state.SOLUTION: The above problems are solved by including a succinoglucan powder whose 30% or more passes a sieve of an aperture of 75 μm.SELECTED DRAWING: NoneCOPYRIGHT: (C)2016,JPO&INPIT【課題】たんぱく質、脂質、ミネラル成分等を比較的多く含有する流動食や牛乳等の液状食品や、ジュース等の酸性液状食品へ増粘性をもつ増粘多糖類を使用した場合には、適度な増粘性やかたさを得るために添加量が増えてべたつき感が増加したり、pH酸性下では増粘多糖類とたんぱく質が凝集反応を起こして均質な増粘が得られず、成分が分離する問題があった。本発明は、素早く粘度を発現し、pH酸性下でも凝集分離がなく、適切なかたさ、まとまり感のある優れた摂食・嚥下適性を付与することができる飲食品を提供することを目的とする。【解決手段】目開き75μmの篩を30%以上が通過するスクシノグリカン粉末を含有させることにより上記課題を解決する。【選択図】なし
