PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an aggregate of viscoelastic foodstuff pieces, in which a plurality of the viscoelastic foodstuff pieces, able to be easily separated by just softly pulled by a hand while remaining in an original shape of the viscoelastic foodstuff pieces, are joined, and method for manufacturing the same and the device for manufacturing the aggregate of the viscoelastic foodstuff pieces.SOLUTION: The foodstuff is the aggregate of the viscoelastic foodstuff pieces in which outer edges of a plurality the viscoelastic foodstuff pieces obtained from the viscoelastic foodstuff dough containing sugars, gelatin and an emulsifying agent are joined and forms the aggregate, and the aggregate of the viscoelastic foodstuff pieces is attained by the aggregate of the viscoelastic foodstuff pieces able to be separated in the part where the outer edges of the viscoelastic foodstuff pieces are joined.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】手で軽く引っ張るだけで、粘弾性食品片の形状のまま、容易に分離することができる複数の粘弾性食品片が接合した粘弾性食品片集合体及びその製造方法並びに粘弾性食品片集合体の製造装置を提供する。【解決手段】糖類、ゼラチン及び乳化剤を含有する粘弾性食品生地から得られる、複数の粘弾性食品片の周縁部が接合して集合体を形成している粘弾性食品片集合体であって、該粘弾性食品片集合体が、上記粘弾性食品片の周縁部の接合した部位で分離できることを特徴とする粘弾性食品片集合体により、達成される。【選択図】なし
