PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a mixed powder for a deep-fried food, which produces a deep-fried food having low oil absorption and excellent texture, and a food for a deep-fried food.SOLUTION: The mixed powder for a deep-fried food blended with decomposed crosslinked starch that is obtained by mixing crosslinked starch having a sedimentation product of 0.4-2.1 ml with oils and fats or an inorganic salt and oils and fats followed by thermal decomposition is used. Preferably the decomposed crosslinked starch has a heating viscosity of 50-10,000 mPa s measured 12 mass% concentration at 30°C in terms of anhydride. Preferably the amount of the decomposed crosslinked starch is 10-50 mass%.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】吸油量が少なく、食感に優れた揚げ物が得られる揚げ物用ミックス粉及びそれを用いた揚げ物食品を提供する。【解決手段】沈降積が0.4~2.1mlである架橋澱粉に、油脂類または無機塩と油脂類を添加混合し加熱分解した分解処理架橋澱粉が配合された揚げ物用ミックス粉を用いる。前記分解処理架橋澱粉は無水換算12質量%濃度・30℃で測定した加熱粘度が50~10000mPa・sであることが好ましい。また、前記分解処理架橋澱粉が10~50質量%配合されることが好ましい。【選択図】なし
