PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a liquid beverage and food product such as a palatability beverage which is free from roughness, powderiness, and pasty-feeling, and which has concentrated feeling and lipid feeling (smooth texture and body feeling), an instant palatability beverage composition, and a texture additive used therefor.SOLUTION: Provided are a liquid beverage and food product in which, a content of a free glucose is 4.5 mass ppm or more and 1000 mass ppm or less for solid content, and crosslinked starch which is physically miniaturized so that median diameter is equal to or less than 4.9 μm is included, and a texture additive in which, a content of the free glucose is 4.5 mass ppm or more and 1000 mass ppm or less for solid content, and the crosslinked starch which is physically miniaturized so that median diameter is equal to or less than 4.9 μm, is included as an active ingredient, and which gives one or more of lipid feeling, concentrated feeling and white turbidness to a liquid to which the texture additive is added.SELECTED DRAWING: NoneCOPYRIGHT: (C)2016,JPO&INPIT【課題】ざらつき、粉っぽさ、及び糊状感がなく、濃厚感や脂肪感(なめらかな食感やボディ感)が付与された嗜好性飲料等の液状飲食品、インスタント嗜好性飲料用組成物、及びこれらに用いることができる食感付与剤の提供。【解決手段】遊離グルコース含有量が固形分当たり4.5質量ppm以上1000質量ppm以下であり、かつメジアン径が4.9μm以下の物理的に微小化されている架橋でん粉を含有することを特徴とする、液状飲食品、及び、遊離グルコース含有量が固形分当たり4.5質量ppm以上1000質量ppm以下であり、かつメジアン径が4.9μm以下の物理的に微小化されている架橋でん粉を有効成分とし、添加された液体に脂肪感、濃厚感、及び白濁性からなる群より選択される1以上を付与することを特徴とする、食感付与剤。【選択図】なし
