Abstract

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a thickening liquid composition which enables a thickening agent to exist in a state of having low viscosity and to restore the original viscosity when the thickening agent is diluted. In this thickening liquid composition containing a thickening agent, the added amount of a highly branched cyclic dextrin and/or a starch degradation product of which the DE is 1-15 is set equal to or more than a threshold concentration at which the effect of lowering the viscosity of the thickening agent is exerted, and the concentration of the highly branched cyclic dextrin and/or the starch degradation product of which the DE is 1-15 is set lower than the threshold concentration after being diluted by a dilution material including water. As a result, the thickening agent can exist in a state of having low viscosity and can restore the original viscosity when the thickening agent is diluted.
