These emulsion foods have specific smoothness, CONTAINING DEXTRIN robustness, creaminess, and glossiness, and also have a cloudy appearance. TECHNICAL FIELD 0006. Also for these emulsion foods, attempts have been conventionally made to reduce the oils and fats content. For 0001. The present invention relates to processed food example, Patent Document 2 describes that a starch with an (hereinafter, the term food includes foods and beverages) amylose content of as high as 40 to 70% is used to prepare fat compositions which contain a dextrin having a specific char spread substitutes (fat content: 0 to 30 wt %) mimicking acteristic. The processed food compositions to which the butters, margarines and the like. The starch described in present invention is directed include fatty tissue substitutes: Patent Document 2 has an amylose content (40 to 70 wt %) processed meat foods prepared using the fatty tissue Substi which corresponds to a blue value (a) of more than 1.2. In this tutes in place of fatty tissue; emulsion-like foods; emulsion point, the starch described in Patent Document 2 is different foods; cheese-like foods; processed foods prepared using the from a dextrinused in the present invention. The starch cannot cheese-like foods in place of cheeses; Sugar confectioneries; provide robustness or Smoothness specific to oils and fats. and beverages. Note that the emulsion foods include emul Moreover, emulsion foods which are prepared using the sion seasonings; spreads; desserts containing a milk-derived starch have a gritty mouthfeel or the like, which is different material or vegetable oils and fats, such as puddings (includ from the mouthfeel of emulsion foods, such as fat spreads and ing neutral puddings; and acidic puddings such as fruit juice the like. containing puddings, cheese-containing puddings and the 0007 Patent Documents 3 and 4 describe emulsion foods, like), almond jellies, Bavarian creams, pastry creams, cus Such as mayonnaises, dressings, margarines, ice creams and tards, mousses and the like: yogurts; frozen desserts Such as the like, which are prepared using a dextrin (tapioca dextrin), ice creams, ice milks (low-fat ice creams), lacto-ices (another an acid-modified Starch or an enzyme-modified Starch in class of low-fat ice creams in Japan), ice confectioneries and place of the whole or a part of the oils and a fats content. the like; and whipped creams. However, none of the documents describes a food product which is prepared using the dextrin or starch and without BACKGROUND ART using oils and fats and has an appearance and a mouthfeel 0002 Conventionally, there has been a demand for low similar to those of emulsion foods. calorie foods having a reduced oils and fats content in view of 0008 Patent Documents 5 to 8 describe emulsion foods, trends toward health consciousness and prevention of lif such as low-calorie mayonnaises, dressings, margarines, ice estyle diseases. creams and the like, which are prepared using a branched 0003 Attempts have been conventionally made to reduce dextrin and various polysaccharides. However, none of these the fat and cholesterol contents of processed meat foods con documents describes the dextrin of the present invention taining fatty meat. Such as, for example, sausage, ham, bacon, which has a specific characteristic. salami, meatloaf, hamburg Steak (a kind of Salisbury steak in 0009 Branched dextrins used in Patent Documents 5 and Japan), patty and the like. 6 are recognized as dextrins comparable to Pinedex No. 100 0004 As an example of the aforementioned processed (manufactured by Matsutani Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.) meat foods, Patent Document 1 describes a processed meat (existing product 3 in Experimental Example 1), according to food in which a meat phase and an aqueous phase including a their production methods or characteristic features. As shown gelled micro-phase are present as separate phases or a con in Experimental Examples 7 and 8 described later, the tinuous phase. Here, the aqueous phase is formed from at least branched dextrins are not suitable for preparation of fat-free two gelling agents having a gel melting temperature of 40°C.
