Abstract

The present invention provides a solid composition comprising the following ingredients (A) and (B):
(A) wheat albumin, and (B) a C6 to C12 sugar alcohol,

wherein a content mass ratio of the ingredient (B) to the ingredient (A), (B)/(A), is 0.2 or higher.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A solid composition comprising ingredients (A) and (B):
(A) wheat albumin, and
(B) maltitol, sorbitol, lactitol, or any combination thereof,
wherein a content mass ratio of the ingredient (B) to the ingredient (A) is from 0.2 to 1.9,
wherein a content of the maltitol, sorbitol, lactitol, or combination thereof (B) is from 10 to 55 mass %, and
wherein a content of the wheat albumin (A) is 30 mass % or higher and 70 mass % or lower.

2. The solid composition according to claim 1 , wherein (B) is maltitol.

3. The solid composition according to claim 1 ,
wherein the wheat albumin (A) comprises 0.19 wheat albumin (a), and
a content of the 0.19 wheat albumin (a) in the wheat albumin (A) is 10 mass % or higher and 60 mass % or lower.

4. The solid composition according to claim 1 , wherein the content of the wheat albumin (A) is 30 mass % or higher and 55 mass % or lower.

5. The solid composition according to claim 4 , wherein a content of (B) is 30 mass % or higher and 55 mass % or lower.

6. The solid composition according to claim 1 , wherein the content mass ratio of the ingredient (B) to the ingredient (A) is 0.5 to 1.9.

7. The solid composition according to claim 1 , further comprising an aspartic acid or a salt thereof (C),
wherein the wheat albumin (A) comprises 0.19 wheat albumin (a) and
wherein the solid composition has a content mass ratio of 0.19 wheat albumin (a) to aspartic acid or a salt thereof (C) of 10 or higher and 1,000 or lower in terms of aspartic acids.

8. The solid composition according to claim 1 , which further comprises a carbonate salt (D) and an organic acid (E) and has a content mass ratio of wheat albumin (A) to carbonate salt (D) of 1.5 or higher and 16.5 or lower and an equivalent ratio of organic acid (E) to carbonate salt (D) of 0.7 or higher and 1.9 or lower.

9. The solid composition according to claim 1 , which is in the form of a chewable tablet.

10. A solid composition comprising ingredients (a) and (B):
(a) 0.19 wheat albumin, and
(B) maltitol, sorbitol, lactitol, or any combination thereof,
wherein a content mass ratio of the ingredient (B) to the ingredient (a) is 0.8 or higher,
wherein a content of the maltitol, sorbitol, lactitol, or combination thereof (B) is from 10 to 55 mass %, and
wherein a total wheat albumin content in the solid composition is 30 mass % or higher and 70 mass % or lower.

11. The solid composition according to claim 10 , wherein (B) is maltitol.

12. The solid composition according to claim 10 , wherein a content of 0.19 wheat albumin (a) is 6 mass % or higher and 18 mass % or lower.

13. The solid composition according to claim 10 , wherein a content of the 0.19 wheat albumin (a) is 7.5 mass % or higher and 13 mass % or lower.

14. The solid composition according to claim 13 , wherein a content of (B) is 30 mass % or higher and 55 mass % or lower.

15. The solid composition according to claim 10 , wherein the content mass ratio of the ingredient (B) to the ingredient (a) is 1.5 or higher and 7.5 or lower.

16. A method of masking an odor of wheat albumin, the method comprising:
including, in a composition in need thereof, an effective amount of a C6 to C12 sugar alcohol,
wherein the composition comprises wheat albumin.
