Abstract

A composition containing a starch at a content of equal to or higher than 75% by mass, wherein the composition contains a low molecular weight starch as the starch at a content of equal to or higher than 3% by mass and equal to or lower than 45% by mass, the low molecular weight starch being obtainable from a starch containing amylose at a content of equal to or higher than 5% by mass as a raw material, wherein a peak molecular weight of the low molecular weight starch is equal to or higher than 3×10 3 and equal to or lower than 5×10 4 , wherein a degree of swelling in cold water of the composition at 25 degrees C. is equal to or higher than 7 and equal to or lower than 20, and wherein a content of an oversieve fraction of a granulated material in the composition on 0.5 mm mesh is equal to or lower than 50% by mass.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A composition comprising starches at a content of equal to or higher than 75% by mass,
wherein the starches comprise a low molecular weight starch and at least one other starch except the low molecular weight starch, a content of the low molecular weight starch being equal to or higher than 3% by mass and equal to or lower than 45% by mass with respect to the total amount of the composition, the low molecular weight starch being obtainable from a starch containing amylose at a content of equal to or higher than 5% by mass as a raw material,
wherein a peak molecular weight of the low molecular weight starch is equal to or higher than 3×10 3 and equal to or lower than 5×10 4 ,
wherein a degree of swelling in cold water of the composition at 25 degrees C. is equal to or higher than 7 and equal to or lower than 20, and
wherein a content of the composition on 0.5 mm mesh after sieving the composition is equal to or lower than 50% by mass with respect to the total amount of the composition.

2. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the raw material for the low molecular weight starch is one or more selected from the group consisting of a high amylose corn starch, a corn starch and a tapioca starch.

3. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises one or more starch(es) selected from the group consisting of a corn starch, a wheat starch, a potato starch, a tapioca starch and a cross-linked starch of these starches, as the at least one other starch except the low molecular weight starch.

4. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein an amount of a soluble fraction of the composition in hot water at 90 degrees C. is equal to or higher than 8.5% by mass and equal to or lower than 70% by mass.

5. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein an amount of a soluble fraction of the composition in water at 25 degrees C. is equal to or lower than 32%.

6. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein a viscosity of the composition is equal to or higher than 80 mPa·s and equal to or lower than 4,200 mPa·s.

7. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein a water absorption of the composition at 25 degrees C. is equal to or higher than 500% with respect to a dry weight of the composition.

8. A batter material comprising the composition according to claim 1 .

9. A food or drink comprising the composition according to claim 1 .

10. A feed comprising the composition according to claim 1 , wherein the feed includes a pet food or a compound feed for livestock or fowl.

11. A method of producing a composition, comprising:
reducing a molecular weight of starch containing 5% by mass or more of amylose to obtain a low molecular weight starch exhibiting a peak molecular weight of equal to or higher than 3 ×10 3 and equal to or lower than 5×10 4 ;
mixing the low molecular weight starch with other starch except the low molecular weight starch to obtain a mixture containing the low molecular weight starch at a content of equal to or higher than 3% by mass and equal to or lower than 45% by mass and the other starch except the low molecular weight starch, and, a summation of the contents of the low molecular weight starch and the other starch being equal to or higher than 75% by mass; and
gelatinizing the mixture containing the low molecular weight starch and the other starch,
wherein a degree of swelling in cold water of the composition at 25 degrees C. is equal to or higher than 7 and equal to or lower than 20, and
wherein a content of the composition on 0.5 mm mesh after sieving the composition is equal to or lower than 50% by mass with respect to the total amount of the composition.

12. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the molecular weight is reduced by an acid treatment in which the starch is degraded.

13. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the low molecular weight starch and the other starch are gelatinized.

14. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein a content of the composition under 0.01 mm mesh after sieving the composition is equal to or lower than 1.5% by mass with respect to the total amount of the composition.
