First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A thickener for a liquid component, wherein the thickener contains an oil and/or fat composition, the oil and/or fat composition contains an oil and/or fat component containing one or more types of XXX-type triglycerides having fatty acid residues X, each with x carbon atoms, at positions 1 to 3 of glycerin, x, the number of carbon atoms, is an integer selected from 10 to 22, and the XXX-type triglyceride is contained at 50% by mass or more relative to a content of the oil and/or fat component being 100% by mass, and wherein the thickener is a powder oil and/or fat composition, the oil and/or fat component contains a β-type oil and/or fat, a particle of the powder oil and/or fat composition has a plate shape, a loose bulk density of the powder oil and/or fat composition is 0.05 to 0.6 g/cm 3 , and the liquid component is a liquid at 20° C. 2. The thickener according to claim 1 , wherein the liquid component has a viscosity of 1 to 300 mPas. 3. The thickener according to claim 1 , wherein the liquid component contains a hydrophobic substance. 4. The thickener according to claim 1 , wherein the liquid component is a solution of a hydrophobic substance. 5. The thickener according to claim 1 , wherein the liquid component is an emulsion of a hydrophobic substance. 6. The thickener according to claim 3 , wherein the hydrophobic substance is selected from the group consisting of flavors, dyes, vitamins, lipids, and mixtures thereof. 7. The thickener according to claim 1 , wherein the liquid component contains a hydrophilic substance. 8. The thickener according to claim 1 , wherein the liquid component is a solution of a hydrophilic substance. 9. The thickener according to claim 1 , wherein the liquid component is an emulsion of a hydrophilic substance. 10. The thickener according to claim 7 , wherein the hydrophilic substance is selected from the group consisting of flavors, dyes, vitamins, and mixtures thereof. 11. The thickener according to claim 1 , wherein the liquid component is a liquid form food. 12. The thickener according to claim 11 , wherein the liquid form food is selected from the group consisting of cow's milk, wines, fruit juices, stock, and yogurts. 13. A method of producing a thickened composition, comprising: a mixing step of mixing a thickener according to claim 1 and a liquid component, wherein the thickener contains an oil and/or fat composition, the oil and/or fat composition contains an oil and/or fat component containing one or more types of XXX-type triglycerides having fatty acid residues X, each with x carbon atoms, at positions 1 to 3 of glycerin, x, the number of carbon atoms, is an integer selected from 10 to 22, and the XXX-type triglyceride is contained at 50% by mass or more relative to a content of the oil and/or fat component being 100% by mass, and wherein the thickener is a powder oil and/or fat composition, the oil and/or fat component contains a β-type oil and/or fat, a particle of the powder oil and/or fat composition has a plate shape, a loose bulk density of the powder oil and/or fat composition is 0.05 to 0.6 g/cm 3 , and wherein the liquid component is a liquid at 20° C. 14. The production method according to claim 13 , further comprising: a cooling step of cooling a mixture of the thickener and the liquid component. 15. The production method according to claim 14 , a seeding process, a tempering process, and/or a pre-cooling process are further performed between the mixing step and the cooling step. 16. The production method according to claim 13 , wherein an amount of the liquid component used is more than 30% by mass to 99% by mass relative to a total mass of the thickened composition. 17. A thickened composition comprising the thickener according to claim 1 and a liquid component, wherein the liquid component is a liquid at 20° C. 18. The thickened composition according to claim 17 , wherein a viscosity of the thickened composition is 1 to 30000 mPaS. 19. A food and/or beverage comprising the thickened composition according to claim 17 . 20. The production method according to claim 13 , wherein the liquid component has a viscosity of 1 to 300 mPa·s. 21. The production method according to claim 13 , wherein the liquid component contains a hydrophobic substance. 22. The production method according to claim 13 , wherein the liquid component is a solution of a hydrophobic substance. 23. The production method according to claim 13 , wherein the liquid component is an emulsion of a hydrophobic substance. 24. The production method according to claim 21 , wherein the hydrophobic substance is selected from the group consisting of flavors, dyes, vitamins, lipids, and mixtures thereof. 25. The production method according to claim 13 , wherein the liquid component contains a hydrophilic substance. 26. The production method according to claim 13 , wherein the liquid component is a solution of a hydrophilic substance. 27. The production method according to claim 13 , wherein the liquid component is an emulsion of a hydrophilic substance. 28. The production method according to claim 25 , wherein the hydrophilic substance is selected from the group consisting of flavors, dyes, vitamins, and mixtures thereof. 29. The production method according to claim 13 , wherein the liquid component is a liquid form food. 30. The production method according to claim 29 , wherein the liquid form food is selected from the group consisting of cow's milk, wines, fruit juices, stock, and yogurts.
