Low-caloric food base material and production thereof

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To produce a low-caloric food base material effective in preventing obesity, diabetes, cardiopathy, arteriosclerosis, etc., by containing a specific amount of 'KONJAK' (devil's-tongue).mannan in a food base material. CONSTITUTION:A powdery food base material is filled in a vacuum device and 0.5-3% aqueous solution of 'KONJAK'.mannan and/or a derivative thereof or further a protective colloid agent, such as carboxymethyl cellulose, glucono-delta- lactone or gelatin, added thereto is sprayed, injected and added thereto. The resultant blend is vacuum dried while stirring or the above-mentioned aqueous solution containing the 'KONJAK'.mannan is injected and added at (10:0.5)-(1:1) ratio based on a liquid food base material, stirred and sterilized to contain 0.05-3% 'KONJAK'.mannan and/or derivative thereof in the powdery or liquid food base material.
