PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for suppressing or preventing degradation (for instance, color fading, color change, decrease in flavor and taste, and generation of foreign taste/nasty smell) during preserving a dried ingredient in a solid food composition.SOLUTION: The time degradation of a dried ingredient in a solid food composition is suppressed and/or prevented by mixing and dispersing the dried ingredient (if necessary, mixing and dispersing together with a powdery raw material to which water is not added) in dissolved oil and fat solidified at normal temperature, solidifying the product and making a solid food composition in which the dried ingredient is stabilized in the oil and fat. The restoring property of the dried ingredient in the solid food composition is extremely excellent when dissolving the solid food composition by pouring hot water thereinto.SELECTED DRAWING: NoneCOPYRIGHT: (C)2018,JPO&INPIT【課題】固形状食品組成物中の乾燥具材の保存中における劣化(例えば、退色、変色、風香味の減少、異味・異臭の発生など)を抑制あるいは防止する方法等を提供する。【解決手段】乾燥具材を、溶解した常温固化油脂中に混合分散させ(必要であれば、加水していない粉末状原料とともに混合分散させ)、これを固化して乾燥具材を該油脂中に固定化した固形状食品組成物とすることで、固形状食品組成物中の乾燥具材の経時劣化を抑制及び/又は防止することができる。また、該固形状食品組成物に熱湯を注いで溶解させると、該固形状食品組成物中の乾燥具材の復元性は極めて良好である。【選択図】なし
