PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide baked confectionery having a water activity of <0.60 in 10-15 wt.% water content, excellent in flavor, having moist and soft palate feeling, and distributable in one year scale, and to provide combined confectionery combined with the baked confectionery and food of a water activity of <0.60, and distributable for a long period.SOLUTION: The baked confectionery includes 25-45 wt.% glucide equal to or less than disaccharide, 5-25 wt.% cereal powder and/or starch, and 10-15 wt.% water, and 1-7 wt.% glycerin as glucide equal to or less than disaccharide. As a result of this, it is possible to obtain the confectionery which is excellent in flavor, has moist and soft palate feeling and is distributable in one year scale. The combined confectionery which has diversity in palate feeling, and is further improved in palate feeling and distributable for a long period is obtained by combining the baked confectionery and food of a water activity of <0.60. It is possible to obtain the combined confectionery which has luxurious unconventional palate feeling and is distributable for a long period by using a raw chocolate-like composition as food.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】水分含有量が10~15重量%の範囲における水分活性が0.60未満であり、風味に優れ、しっとりとしたソフトな食感の1年規模での長期流通が可能な焼き菓子、該焼き菓子と水分活性が0.60未満の食品とを組合せた長期流通が可能な複合菓子を提供すること。【解決手段】二糖類以下の糖質を25~45重量%、穀類粉末及び/又は澱粉を5~25重量%、水分を10~15重量%含有し、二糖類以下の糖質としてグリセリンを1~7重量%含有することで、風味に優れ、しっとりとしたソフトな食感の1年規模の長期流通が可能な焼き菓子を得ることができる。該焼き菓子と水分活性が0.60未満の食品とを組合せることで、食感に多様性を持たせ、より食感が向上した長期流通が可能な複合菓子を得ることができる。食品として生チョコレート様組成物を用いることによって、高級感のあるこれまでにない食感の長期流通が可能な複合菓子を得ることができる。【選択図】なし
