A method for manufacturing a swelling-inhibited starch, the production method including a step for performing a heating treatment at 55-205° C. on a starch for which the value of M−Mis within the range from −10 to 20 and setting a breakdown value of a starch paste solution to no greater than 75% of the value before the heating treatment. The heating treatment is performed using closed heating equipment without implementing a moist-heat treatment.

Method for manufacturing swelling-inhibited starch

The present invention addresses the problem of developing a fat-processed starch which is excellent in terms of all of three properties, i.e., 'workability during the preparation of a coating material for fries,' 'function required of coating materials for fries (adhesion to ingredients)' and &#x201c;moderate slurry viscosity.&#x201d; The fat-processed starch of the present invention is produced by a process comprising the steps: adding a fat with which an emulsifying agent has been mixed to a starch having a water content adjusted to 25 to 45 mass %, in an amount of 0.02 to 0.4 mass % in terms of the weight of the fat excluding the emulsifying agent relative to the weight of dry matter of the starch, and mixing the fat and the starch; adjusting the water content of the mixture is 0.2 to 0.5 time that of the starch before the addition of the fat; and aging the starch having the adjusted water content.

Fat-processed starch and process for producing same

An object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a saccharide polycondensate which is inexpensive and is applicable to a food or beverage product. Disclosed is a method for producing a saccharide polycondensate, which comprises carrying out a saccharide polycondensation reaction in the presence of activated carbon.

Saccharide polycondensate, method for producing the same, and application therefor

An object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furfural (5-HMF) suitable for industrial-scale production and a novel catalyst composition for use in synthesizing 5-HMF. The present invention provides a method for producing 5-HMF comprising performing a dehydration reaction of a carbohydrate comprising a hexose as a constituent sugar or a derivative thereof by using activated carbon as a catalyst; and a catalyst composition for use in the reaction for producing 5-HMF from a carbohydrate comprising a hexose as a constituent sugar through a dehydration reaction, the catalyst composition comprising activated carbon.

5-hydroxymethyl-2-furfural production method

An object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furfural (5-HMF) with suppressed production of byproducts. The present invention provides a method for producing 5-HMF, comprising the step of performing a dehydration reaction of a carbohydrate comprising a hexose as a constituent sugar or a derivative thereof to produce 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furfural, wherein the dehydration reaction is performed in the presence of activated carbon. The present invention also provides a method for producing a carbohydrate composition comprising 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furfural, comprising the step of heating a carbohydrate composition comprising one or more selected from the group consisting of a carbohydrate comprising a hexose as a constituent sugar and a derivative thereof, in the presence of an acid catalyst and activated carbon at a temperature of 90 to 400&#xb0; C.
