Abstract
A method for easily controlling the smell of dried starch and bringing out a sweet starch flavor characteristic of a plant in a powdery food containing a powder derived from a starch-containing plant is provided. A powdery food comprises a powder derived from a starch-containing plant. The powdery food has a starch content of 10 mass % or more in terms of dry mass, a dietary fiber content of 1 mass % or more in terms of dry mass, a particle size d50 of 1,000 μm or less after ultrasonication, and a 2,3-butanediol content of 50 ppb or more and 40,000 ppb or less and/or a diethylene glycol monoethyl ether content of 5 ppb or more and 40,000 ppb or less.
Claims12
A powdery food comprising a powder derived from a starch-containing plant, the powdery food satisfying following characteristics (1) to (4):
- (1) the powdery food has a starch content of 10 mass % or more in terms of dry mass, wherein the dry mass is an equivalent value to the mass when the water content is 0 mass %;
- (2) the powdery food has a dietary fiber content of 1 mass % or more in terms of dry mass, wherein the dry mass is an equivalent value to the mass when the water content is 0 mass %;
- (3) the powdery food has a particle size d50 of 1,000 μm or less;
- and
- (4) the powdery food has a 2,3-butanediol content of from 50 ppb to 40,000 ppb and a diethylene glycol monoethyl ether content of from 5 ppb to 40,000 ppb,
- wherein the starch-containing plant is one or more plants selected from the group consisting of potatoes, pulses, nuts, vegetables, fruits, and mushrooms.
A method for manufacturing a powdery food having a particle size d50 of 1,000 μm or less, the method comprising crushing a dried plant having a starch content of 10 mass % or more in terms of dry mass and a dietary fiber content of 1 mass % or more in terms of dry mass, wherein:
- the dry mass is an equivalent value to the mass when the water content is 0 mass %,
- the powdery food contains from 50 ppb to 40,000 ppb of 2,3-butanediol and from 5 ppb to 40,000 ppb of diethylene glycol monoethyl ether, and
- the powdery food comprises a powder derived from one or more starch-containing plants selected from the group consisting of potatoes, pulses, nuts, vegetables, fruits, and mushrooms.
A method for manufacturing a food/drink containing a powdery food having a particle size d50 of 1,000 μm or less, the method comprising crushing an edible plant having a starch content of 10 mass or more in terms of dry mass and a dietary fiber content of 1 mass % or more in terms of dry mass,
- wherein:
- the dry mass is an equivalent value to the mass when the water content is 0 mass %,
- the powdery food contains from 50 ppb to 40,000 ppb of 2,3-butanediol and from 5 ppb to 40,000 ppb of diethylene glycol monoethyl ether, and
- the powdery food comprises a powder derived from one or more starch-containing plants selected from the group consisting of potatoes, pulses, nuts, vegetables, fruits, and mushrooms.
