PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide lactic acid fermented food of rice comprising cooked rice as a food having an easy-to-eat shape and new texture.SOLUTION: The lactic acid fermented food of rice is a fluid or semi-fluid lactic acid fermented food, having granular texture and is produced, by making hydrolyzed heat-molten material or hydrolyzed molten material comprising rice and/or rice flour ferment with starch-nondegradable plant lactobacillus under a saccharide-added condition. The method for producing the lactic acid fermented food includes preparing the hydrolyzed heat-molten material or the hydrolyzed molten material which is obtained by making the rice and/or rice flour fluid or semi-fluid, inoculating starch-nondegradable plant lactobacillus into the thus obtained molten material, and making it ferment under a saccharide-added condition.COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT【課題】ご飯を食べやすい形態でかつ新たな食感を有する食品として提供する。【解決手段】米および/または米粉の加水加熱溶融物または加水溶融物を、糖類の添加条件下においてデンプン非分解性の植物性乳酸菌で発酵させることによって製造される、粒様食感を有する流動もしくは半流動状の乳酸発酵食品。 米および/または米粉を流動もしくは半流動状とした加水加熱溶融物または加水溶融物を調製し、得られる上記溶融物にデンプン非分解性の植物性乳酸菌を接種し、糖類の添加条件下で発酵させることを特徴とする、上記乳酸発酵食品の製造方法。【選択図】なし
