Abstract: The objects of the present invention are to provide a method for inhibiting the coloration of a syrupy sweetener, comprising a reducing saccharide together with a non-reducing oligosaccharide having a ?-fructofuranosidic linkage, without deteriorating the taste inherent to the syrupy sweetener; and to provide a syrupy sweetener, comprising a reducing saccharide together with a non-reducing oligosaccharide having a ?-fructofuranosidic linkage, which is stabilized by the method. The present invention attains the above objects by providing a method for inhibiting the coloring of a syrupy sweetener, comprising a reducing saccharide together with a non-reducing oligosaccharide having a ?-fructofuranosidic linkage, which comprises a step of incorporating a lactate into the syrupy sweetener, and by providing a syrupy sweetener, comprising a reducing saccharide together with a non-reducing oligosaccharide having a ?-fructofuranosidic linkage, which is stabilized by the method.

Abstract: The present invention has objects to provide a novel high pullulan content liquid and a method for transporting the same, and solves the objects by providing a high pullulan content liquid which has a viscosity of 2.5 mm2/s or more in terms of a pullulan concentration of 10% (w/w) when determined at 30° C. on the Ubelode viscometer method, a common bacterial count of less than 300 cells/g product, a negativity with respect to coliform group, a pH of 4.5 to 7.5, and a pullulan concentration of 20% (w/w) or more; and by providing a method for transporting the same under a prescribed temperature condition.
