PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a production method of rice cake which remains soft, even after being left for long period.SOLUTION: The production method of rice cake is configured so that: glutinous rice, powders of glutinous rice, or top grade rice flour made from non-glutinous rice are mixed with water and deacylated gellan gum, then the mixture is heated by vapor and kneaded, for forming a rice cake-like body then, when temperature of the formed rice cake-like body becomes equal to or less than deactivation temperature of amylolytic enzyme, the amylolytic enzyme is added thereto and heat is insulated after maintaining the heat insulation time for 1 hour or more, coupling of rice cake components which are coupled in the rice cake-like body is sheared by agitation.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3COPYRIGHT: (C)2016,JPO&INPIT【課題】長時間放置しても固くなりにくい餅の製造方法を提供こと。【解決手段】餅の製造方法であって、脱アシル化ジェランガムと水を加えたもち米、もち米の粉末若しくは上新粉を蒸気によって加熱しながら混捏することによって餅状体を形成し、前記形成した餅状体の温度が澱粉分解酵素の失活温度以下になったことを条件に当該澱粉分解酵素を添加して保温し、当該保温時間を1時間以上保った後に、内部で結合している成分の結合を剪断するように撹拌したことを特徴とする。【選択図】図3
