A method for producing water-soluble or water-dispersible microparticles, which includes preparing a solution or dispersion that contains a protein and an anionic polysaccharide and that has a pH higher than the isoelectric point of the protein, and mixing the solution or dispersion to set the pH of the solution or dispersion to a value closer to the isoelectric point.

A sheet-shaped food product is a sheet-shaped food product molded by containing a raw food material and a binding agent, in which the sheet-shaped food product is provided with a surface layer at both sides and an inner side layer, which is present between the surface layers and has lower density than each surface layer, and mass ratio (WA/WB) of dry mass of the raw food material (WA) to dry mass of the binding agent 3 (WB) is 4.9 to 7.3.

A composition for manufacturing a water-soluble powder via spray-drying. The composition has an emulsion and a core material dispersed therein. The emulsion has at least one carbohydrate membrane-forming material and a sugar alcohol mixed with a solvent. The core material at least has one or more active ingredients. After spray-drying, the water-soluble powder comprises the core material encapsulated by a membrane formed by the at least one carbohydrate membrane-forming material and the sugar alcohol.
