The present invention relates to a spherical gel and a manufacturing method thereof, in which the spherical gel full of stiffness and viscosity is provided with excellent mouth feelings and capable of maintaining a certain shape. More specifically, the present invention relates to a manufacturing method for a spherical gel and the spherical gel using the same, in which the manufacturing method includes the step of: dripping a dispersion liquid which contains &bgr-1,3-glucan with heating coagulation and multivalence metal salts and has viscosity of 130~3600 mPa s into a gelling agent that is reacted with multivalence metal ions for gelation and a solution that has a temperature greater than a thermally irreversible coagulating temperature of the &bgr-1,3-glucan with heating coagulation.本發明係關於一種富有硬度及黏度之具有優異之食感且可穩定地保持形狀之球狀凝膠及其製造方法。更詳細而言,本發明係關於一種球狀凝膠之製造方法以及藉由該製造方法而獲得之球狀凝膠,該製造方法包括將含有加熱凝固性β-1,3-葡聚糖及多價金屬鹽,且黏度為130~3600 mPa.s之分散液滴加至含有與多價金屬離子進行反應而凝膠化之凝膠化劑且為上述加熱凝固性β-1,3-葡聚糖之熱不可逆性凝固溫度以上之溫度之溶液中。
