The present invention has low hygroscopicity, excellent storage stability, easy to uniformly disperse core materials, contains a sufficient amount of core materials, and also has excellent taste and added to gums and tablets. The present invention provides a powder composition which can be suitably used as a fragrance flavoring or enhancer, etc., which does not have a feeling of adhesion to teeth even after, and a food and drink including the same. The carbohydrate mixture containing 30 to 70 mass% of trehalose and a plasticizer were heated and melted, and the core material was added and mixed to the melt to obtain a homogeneous mixture, and the solid obtained by cooling and solidifying while extruding the homogeneous mixture was cut or pulverized. To prepare a powder composition. The obtained powder composition is kneaded, for example, with a gum base, powdered sugar, corn syrup, etc., and spread to form a stick gum.n n n Powder composition, hygroscopicity, storage stability, carbohydrate mixture, plasticizer, core material, trehalose, extrusion |
