Provided is a method for manufacturing a thickener composition in which lumping is minimized even when used on a high-temperature liquid, and high dispersion performance is maintained. A method for manufacturing a thickener composition is performed, said method including: (a) a step for spraying an aqueous solution containing guar gum or tara gum as a binder solution onto a raw material powder containing a thickening polysaccharide as the main component, and obtaining granules and (b) a step for obtaining a mixture of the granules obtained in step (a) and a dissolution aid.本發明提供一種即便於用於高溫之液體之情形時結塊之產生仍可受到抑制而維持較高之分散性之增黏劑組合物之製造方法。本發明實施增黏劑組合物之製造方法,該製造方法包括步驟(a)及(b):(a)將含有瓜爾膠或塔拉膠之水溶液作為黏合劑液對含有增黏多糖類作為主成分之粉末原料進行噴霧而獲得造粒物之步驟;(b)獲得步驟(a)中獲得之造粒物與溶解助劑之混合物之步驟。
