PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an edible powder for forming a bolus and a bolus forming agent, which can easily form a bolus without heating a material for a long period of time, using a specific gelling agent and a thickening agent, and relying on a pH and an enzyme which a material has a powder for a liquid food, which has a desired weak stickiness, liquidity, dispersibility and the like, and can maintain a flavor and an aroma which a food material originally has and a liquid food and a method for producing the same.SOLUTION: Edible powder for forming a bolus is obtained by the steps of: subjecting a plant to heating/pressurizing treatment by arranging the plant on a stage that is heated at 125°C to 300°C, and pressing and crushing the plant by using a flat sheet at a pressure of 50 kg/cm2 or more for 0.5 seconds or longer and then subjecting the resultant plant to pulverization treatment.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】長時間加熱することなく、特定のゲル化剤や増粘剤を使用することなく、材料の有するpHや酵素に依存することなく、容易に食塊を形成することができる食塊形成用食用粉及び食塊形成剤、並びに、所望の弱粘着性、流動性、分散性等を有し、食材が本来有する風味及び香りを維持できる流動食用粉、流動食及びその製造方法の提供。【解決手段】本発明の食塊形成用食用粉は、植物を、125℃~300℃に加熱されたステージ上に配して平板を用いて50kg/cm2以上の圧力で0.5秒間以上押し潰して加熱加圧処理した後、粉砕処理して得られたことを特徴とする。【選択図】図2A
