PURPOSE: To prevent the aging of a food containing starchy materials, extremely effectively, by using glutinous barley starch as a part of the starchy material.
CONSTITUTION: The aging of a food containing starchy material, e.g. rice cake, bun, noodle, bread, sponge cake, etc. is prevented by adding glutinous barley starch as a part of the food material in an amount of 2W50wt% based on the starchy material. The preventive effect can be further promoted and the texture of the food can be improved by adding 0.5W15wt% polymeric polysaccharide (e.g. oligosaccharide, dextrain, etc.) in addition to the above glutinous barley starch. The present process is effective to prevent the aging of foods, and to keep the softness, elasticity, texture, digestibility, etc. of the foods to desirable state.
