PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technology for imparting a new soft eat-texture to starch-containing food products while maintaining basic quality such as appearance and deliciousness.SOLUTION: In the present invention, there is provided a starch-containing food product containing a starch decomposition product containing a branched saccharide composed of a main chain and a branched chain satisfying the following (1) and (2). (1) 7≤x; in which x is the content (mass%) in a starch decomposition product of a branched chain having a degree of glucose polymerization (DP) of 8 to 9. (2) 31≤y≤60; in which y is the content (mass%) in a starch decomposition product of a fraction having a molecular weight of 14000 to 80000.SELECTED DRAWING: None 【課題】澱粉含有食品に、外観や美味しさといった基本的品質を維持しつつ、新たな柔らかい食感を付与する技術を提供すること。【解決手段】本発明では、下記（１）及び（２）を満たす主鎖と分岐鎖とからなる分岐糖質を含む澱粉分解物を含む澱粉含有食品を提供する。（１）７≦ｘ；但し、ｘは、グルコース重合度（ＤＰ）が８〜９である分岐鎖の澱粉分解物中の含有量（質量％）である。（２）３１≦ｙ≦６０；但し、ｙは、分子量が１４０００〜８００００である画分の澱粉分解物中の含有量（質量％）である。【選択図】なし
