PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for manufacturing a gel-like food which inhibits the proliferation of heat-resistant microorganisms particularly in the production of a gel-like food and does not affect the flavor of the final product, and to provide the gel-like food.SOLUTION: In the present invention, in the production of a gel-like food, a predetermined amount of glucose and/or fructose is added during a constant-temperature process performed at a temperature lower than a heating sterilization temperature and higher than a coagulating temperature of a gelling agent to be used. A method for producing a gel-like food capable of suppressing the proliferation of microorganisms and the gel-like food are thereby provided.SELECTED DRAWING: None【課題】特にゲル状食品の製造において耐熱性菌の増殖を抑制し、かつ最終製品の風味に影響を及ぼすことがないゲル状食品の製造方法及び該ゲル状食品の提供を課題とする。【解決手段】本発明ではゲル状食品の製造において、加熱殺菌温度よりも低く、使用するゲル化剤の凝固温度よりも高い恒温工程、において、ブドウ糖及び／又は果糖を所定量添加することにより微生物の増殖を抑制できるゲル状食品の製造方法及び該ゲル状食品の提供を可能にした。【選択図】なし
