When added to liquid compositions, especially liquid foods such as milk, 100% fruit juice juice, soups, alcoholic beverages, etc., whose viscosity is said to be relatively slow due to the addition of a thickener, it is like manual stirring. A thickening agent that does not become lumpy even under mild agitation conditions, exhibits rapid viscosity, exhibits a good thickening effect, and has excellent suitability as a thickening agent used for swallowing assistance To do. A thickening polysaccharide for a liquid composition contains a powdery thickening polysaccharide having a particle diameter of less than 75 μm and 40% by weight or more. Further, at least one binder selected from dextrin, starch and saccharide is added. Preferably, it contains a granulated (granulated) mixture of a powdery thickening polysaccharide having the particle size and a binder. [Selection figure] None |
