PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a novel non-gelatin viscoelastic composition which, when forming gummy candies, suppresses peculiar odor by not using gelatin, does not contain an allergen, has religious taboos taken into consideration, and allows high freedom in viscoelasticity design, and a method for producing the same.SOLUTION: A starch viscoelastic material is obtained by mixing saccharides, water-soluble starch obtained by making a viscosity of gelatinized starch lowered by supersonic irradiation, and water. A method for producing a non-gelatin viscoelastic composition comprises, when preparing the starch viscoelastic material, a saccharide solution preparing step by dissolving saccharides in water to obtain a saccharide solution； an addition step of adding water-soluble starch into the saccharide solution； and a kneading step of kneading the saccharide solution and the water-soluble starch. The non-gelatin viscoelastic material contains the saccharides which are at least one or more selected from monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides, dextrins, or sugar alcohols, where the saccharides include physically processed starch processed from waxy corn starch, and jelly strength of the starch viscoelastic material is 0.1 to 25 N/cm.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1【課題】グミ（グミキャンディ）の形成に際し、ゼラチンを使用しない事により特有の臭気を押さえ、アレルゲンを含まず、更に信仰上の禁忌にも配慮し、粘弾性設計の自由度の高い新たな非ゼラチン由来粘弾組成物及びその製造方法の提供。【解決手段】糖類と、デンプンの糊化物に超音波を照射し低粘度化して得た水溶化デンプンと、水分と、を混合するデンプン粘弾物。デンプン粘弾物を得るに際し、糖類を水に溶解して糖液を得る糖液調製工程と、糖液に水溶化デンプンを添加する添加工程と、糖液と水溶化デンプンとを混練する混練工程とを備える、非ゼラチン由来粘弾組成物の製造方法。前記糖類が単糖、二糖、オリゴ糖、デキストリン又は糖アルコールから選択される少なくとも一種以上の糖類であり、前記糖類が、ワキシーコーンスターチから加工された物理加工デンプンであり、前記デンプン粘弾物のゼリー強度が０．１～２５Ｎ／ｃｍ２である非ゼラチン由来粘弾物。【選択図】図１
