PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a high sugar content jelly food product and a production method thereof, which are suitable for mass production because gelation with high speed is achieved even when the sugar content is high, viscosity of the gummy jelly solution is low, and tailing of the product does not take place, and the production is easily conducted by using a starch mold, and to provide a gelling agent for producing the high sugar content jelly food product.SOLUTION: A high sugar content jelly food product includes agar, which brings about viscosity at 85°C of 4-20 mPa s when dissolved to a concentration of 1.5% in water by boiling and heating, and HM pectin with an esterification degree of 60-75, and is adjusted to have a sugar content of 78-85. A production method thereof and a gelling agent for production thereof are disclosed.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】高糖度でもゲル化が早く、グミゼリー溶液の粘性が低く、糸曳き(テーリング)を起こさないため大量生産に適したものであり、スターチモールドを用いて容易に製造することができる高糖度ゼリー食品及びその製造方法、並びに高糖度ゼリー食品製造用ゲル化剤を提供する。【解決手段】沸騰加熱して溶解した1.5%の寒天水溶液の85℃における粘度が4~20mPa・sの寒天と、エステル化度が60~75のHMペクチンとを含み、糖度78~85に調整されたことを特徴とする高糖度ゼリー食品及びその製造方法、並びに高糖度ゼリー食品製造用ゲル化剤である。【選択図】図1
