[0003] However, the conventional methods for improving the physical properties of noodles using the above-mentioned salts have a drawback that it takes a great deal of time to preliminarily adjust the specific gravity of the salt solution, temperature control, etc., because the effect of the salt concentration varies greatly. . Furthermore, if the salt concentration is reduced in accordance with the recent health consciousness, the effect of improving the physical properties is also greatly reduced. In recent years, there has been a demand for reduction of chemical preparations due to an increase in consumer-oriented safety consciousness of food, and improvement of physical properties using such salts is contrary to the demand.

[0005] Specifically, rice flour products such as dumplings also use a large amount of polysaccharides and modified starches in order to meet diverse consumer needs for physical properties. As a result, the ratio of rice flour decreases and the flavor of rice decreases. There is a problem of lowering, and there is a demand for a search for a natural safe material that can make full use of the flavor of rice flour.

Furthermore, since soy milk is coagulated with bittern, glucono delta lactone or the like, the use of soy milk curd for uses other than tofu is restricted. Therefore, although the tofu industry aims to develop new foods using tofu, it is impossible to adjust curds having various physical properties using conventional coagulation methods, and as a result, no new applications have been developed after all. It is.

[0007] In addition, as for processed rice products of high moisture content utilizing excellent rice, the development of applications of excellent rice other than white rice is forced to stagnate, since rice grains are completely disintegrated during distribution. . For example, rice porridge for rice processing,
Although there are needs for multi-moisture applications such as porridge, risotto, and doria, production is limited due to the collapse of rice grains during distribution as described above.
