Patent ID: 12004551

Abstract:
A composition facilitates smooth and efficient intake of a food containing abundant insoluble dietary fibers, including non-edible part, through improvement in its texture and taste. The composition includes a fine particle composite having insoluble dietary fibers and fat/oil. The composition includes edible and inedible parts of a food material. A dry weight ratio of inedible part to edible and inedible part is 1% to 80%. The composition has 0.1 mass % or more of insoluble dietary fibers, a fine particle content of 2 to 98 mass %, a total fat/oil content of 10 to 98 mass %, and less than 20 mass % water. A modal diameter after ultrasonication is 0.3 to 200 μm, a ratio of specific surface area per unit volume after ultrasonication to minimum particle size after ultrasonication is 0.1 or more, a ratio of specific surface area per unit volume before and after ultrasonication is 0.01 to 0.99.
