AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Coated confectionery, such as mochi, deteriorates to a hard and crumbly gel texture during long-term storage due to temperature changes and moisture issues, losing elasticity and chewy texture.
Method used
A mixed heating product containing starch, sugars, and rice hydrolysate, particularly with non-glutinous or glutinous rice hydrolysate, is used to maintain elasticity and prevent gel-like texture in mochi during long-term frozen storage.
Benefits of technology
The edible viscoelastic substance effectively suppresses the formation of a gel-like texture in mochi, maintaining chewy texture and elasticity even after prolonged freezing.
