CATALYST COMPOSITION FOR SUGAR CONDENSATION REACTION

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a catalyst composition for producing a sugar condensate that can be applied to food and drink.SOLUTION: The present invention provides a catalyst composition for sugar condensation reaction containing active carbon as a catalyst component, wherein, a sugar condensation reaction occurs at 100°C-300°C in the presence of an active carbon catalyst, by which process, a sugar condensate is produced that has a low degree of pigmentation and shows high indigestibility with a dietary fiber content of 30 wt.% or more. In the sugar condensation reaction composition, carbohydrates can generally serve as a substrate of a sugar condensation reaction with active carbon as a catalyst.SELECTED DRAWING: None 【課題】飲食品への適用が可能な糖縮合物を製造するための触媒組成物の提供。【解決手段】活性炭を触媒成分として含んでなる、糖縮合反応用触媒組成物であって、活性炭触媒の存在下で、１００℃〜３００℃の温度条件下で糖縮合反応を実施することにより、着色度が低く、また、食物繊維含量が３０重量％以上の高い難消化性を示す糖縮合物を製造する方法。また、糖質全般が活性炭を触媒として糖縮合反応の基質となりうる、糖縮合反応組成物。【選択図】なし
