PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a low-calorie granular solid roux that uses a sweetener having a high degree of sweetness instead of sugar or the like, is excellent in solubility in hot water, enables stable automatic filling into a packaging container, is excellent in long-term storage and also is excellent in rich taste and texture of sauce after cooking, to provide a production method for easily producing a low-calorie granular solid roux and to provide a low-calorie granular solid roux-containing seasoning that includes the low-calorie granular solid roux.SOLUTION: The low calorie granular solid roux is produced by using a starch raw material and oils and fats as an essential raw material, adding a sweetener having a high degree of sweetness and other food raw materials, heating and mixing at temperature equal to or higher than a melting point of the oils and fats to prepare a pasty raw material, and then cooling and solidifying the pasty raw material to be formed into a particle passing through a sieve having a sieve opening of 10 mm to thereby produce a granular solid roux or alternatively cooling and solidifying the pasty raw material and pulverizing the resultant cooled solid roux to be formed into a particle passing through a sieve having a sieve opening of 10 mm to thereby produce a granular solid roux. In the low-calorie granular solid roux, the sweetener having a high degree of sweetness constitutes 70% or more of the sweetness of the granular solid roux.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1COPYRIGHT: (C)2016,JPO&INPIT【課題】砂糖等の代りに高甘味度甘味料を用いて、熱水中への溶解性に優れ、包装容器への安定した自動充填が可能であり、長期保存性にも優れ、調理後のソースのコクや食感に関しても優れている低カロリー粒状固形ルウ及び低カロリー粒状固形ルウを容易に製造できる製造方法及び低カロリー粒状固形ルウを含む低カロリー粒状固形ルウ含有調味料の提供。【解決手段】澱粉原料及び油脂を必須原料とし、高甘味度甘味料、その他の食品原料を添加し、前記油脂の融点以上において加熱混合してペースト状原料を調製した後に、前記ペースト状原料を目開き10mmの篩をパスする粒子に冷却固化して粒状固形ルウにするか、又は、前記ペースト状原料を冷却固化した冷却固形ルウを目開き10mmの篩をパスする粒子に粉砕して得られる、粒状固形ルウであって、前記粒状固形ルウの甘味の70%以上を高甘味度甘味料で占める低カロリー粒状固形ルウ。【選択図】図1
