PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide dietary fiber for baked foods made of coarse-grained bran, wheat flour composition for baked foods blended with the dietary fiber, and bread or wheat flour baked foods made of the wheat flour composition for baked foods.SOLUTION: A large lump containing epidermises generated at the initial stage of milling in which wheat grains (crude wheat) are opened to be separated into coarse hulls and coarse endosperms is made into bran from which most of the endosperm part is removed through the processes of crushing and removing the endosperm part. Thereafter, the bran is classified with a sieve into smaller one which passes sieve mesh and bigger one that does not pass. The invented dietary fiber for baked food is obtained by collecting the bigger one separating the smaller one, and is of characteristic of coarse bran. Baked foods for which the dietary fiber is used include bread or wheat flour baked foods. The invented wheat flour composition for baked foods is produced by blending preferably 3 to 7 wt.% of the dietary fiber with wheat flour. Additionally, breads and baked wheat foods which are made from the wheat flour composition are also provided.COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT【課題】粗挽きふすまからなる焼成食品用食物繊維、およびそれを配合した焼成食品用小麦粉組成物、さらにその焼成食品用小麦粉組成物を使用して製造したパン類または小麦粉焼成食品の提供。【解決手段】小麦粒(原麦)を開披して粗い外皮と粗い胚乳に分離する製粉の初期段階で発生する表皮を含んだ大きな塊から挽砕および胚乳部の剥離の各工程を経て胚乳部分がほとんど取り除かれたふすま片となった段階で、該ふすま片を篩いで篩目を通過する小サイズと篩目を通過しない大サイズとに分別し、小サイズを取り除き大サイズのみを回収して製造した粗挽きふすまであることを特徴とする焼成食品用食物繊維。焼成食品が、パン類または小麦粉焼成食品からなる。焼成食品用食物繊維を好ましくは重量比で3~7%小麦粉に配合して焼成食品用小麦粉組成物。さらに、該小麦粉組成物を使用して製造したパン類または焼成小麦粉食品。【選択図】図1
