Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided are: an oligosaccharide powder having high working properties, the oligosaccharide powder being characterized by containing a dextrin having a dextrose equivalent of 10 to 18 and an oligosaccharide; and a method for manufacturing the same.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An oligosaccharide powder consisting of a dextrin having a dextrose equivalent of 10 to 18 and an oligosaccharide, wherein the blending ratio of the oligosaccharide to the dextrin having a dextrose equivalent of 10 to 18 is 1:1.4 to 1:1.8. 2. The oligosaccharide powder according to claim 1 , wherein the oligosaccharide is a galactooligosaccharide. 3. The oligosaccharide powder according to claim 1 , wherein the oligosaccharide powder is obtained by preparing a solution that contains a dextrin having a dextrose equivalent of 10 to 18 and an oligosaccharide and subjecting the solution to drying. 4. The oligosaccharide powder according to claim 3 , wherein the drying is spray drying. 5. A method for manufacturing the oligosaccharide powder according to claim 1 , the method comprising: preparing a solution that contains a dextrin having a dextrose equivalent of 10 to 18 and an oligosaccharide; and subjecting the solution to drying. 6. The manufacturing method according to claim 5 , wherein the oligosaccharide is a galactooligosaccharide. 7. The manufacturing method according to claim 5 , wherein the drying is spray drying. 8. The oligosaccharide powder according to claim 1 , wherein the oligosaccharide is at least one selected from the group consisting of an isomaltooligosaccharide, a xylooligosaccharide, a soybean oligosaccharide, a nigerooligosaccharide, a lactosucrose, a fructooligosaccharide, and combinations thereof. 9. The oligosaccharide powder according to claim 1 , wherein the dextrin has a dextrose equivalent of 15 to 18, and wherein the blending ratio of the oligosaccharide to the dextrin having a dextrose equivalent of 15 to 18 is 1:1.4 to 1:1.8. 10. The oligosaccharide powder according to claim 1 , wherein the dextrin has a dextrose equivalent of 10 to 13, and wherein the blending ratio of the oligosaccharide to the dextrin having a dextrose equivalent of 10 to 13 is 1:1.4 to 1:1.8.
