PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a highly branched starch capable of improving solubility, suppressing aging, lowering viscosity, etc. without degrading starch, a method for producing the same, and a method for producing the starch. Provided are a method for suppressing aging of gelatinized starch using the starch, and a method for producing the starch-containing food or drink. SOLUTION: The branch distribution occupies a peak at 4 to 7 as a glucose unit chain length distribution by anion exchange chromatography, is highly water-soluble, the aqueous solution has a low viscosity, and the gel filtration analysis has A highly branched starch having a molecular weight distribution peak at × 10 6 , a method of producing a highly branched starch, wherein a branching enzyme is allowed to act on gelatinized starch, and a highly branched starch produced by the production method described above. 0.1 to 100 based on the solid content of the gelatinized starch A method for inhibiting the aging of gelatinized starch, characterized by adding 0.1% to 100% by weight of highly branched starch to starch, characterized by adding 0.1% to 100% by weight of starch.
