PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a food material utilizing functionality which cereal &beta-glucan has, and produceable at a low cost.SOLUTION: A saccharified cereal product contains 1-10 mass% of &beta-glucan which is obtained by using &beta-glucan-containing cereal, as the raw material, performing protein decomposing reaction before liquefying-saccharifying reaction, using protein splitting enzyme which has a &beta-glucanase activity of 0-10%, performing starch decomposing reaction by liquefying enzyme with a &beta-glucanase activity of 0-10% and saccharifying enzyme with a &beta-glucanase activity of 0-10%, and performing solid separation, spray-dry, or freeze-dry. The cereal saccharified product has an iodine coloring test of negative.COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT【課題】穀物β-グルカンの持つ機能性を活かし、かつ低コストで製造可能な食品素材を開発すること。【解決手段】β-グルカンを含む穀物を原料とし、液化反応・糖化反応の前にβ-グルカナーゼ活性度が0~10%のタンパク質分解酵素を用いて、タンパク質分解反応を行い、β-グルカナーゼ活性度が0~10%の液化酵素、β-グルカナーゼ活性度が0~10%の糖化酵素により澱粉質分解反応を行った後、固液分離、スプレードライもしくは凍結乾燥を行うことにより得られたβ-グルカンを1~10質量%含有し、ヨード発色テストが(一)であることを特徴とする穀物糖化物。【選択図】なし
