    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a molded body, includes a deposition step of depositing a mixture containing fibers and a starch in air; a moisturizing step of applying water to the mixture; and a molding step of forming a molded body by heating and pressurizing the mixture to which the water is applied. In the method described above, the starch has a setback viscosity (η50-η93) of 40 to 200 mPa·s, the setback viscosity (η50-η93) being obtained by measurement performed in accordance with the following measurement methods (1) to (4) using a rapid visco analyzer (RVA). The measurement is performed such that (1) after a water suspension containing the starch at 25 percent by mass is charged in the RVA as a measurement sample, the temperature thereof is increased to 50° C. and then maintained for one minute; (2) the temperature of the measurement sample is increased from 50° C. to 93° C. over 4 minutes and then maintained at 93° C. for 7 minutes; (3) the temperature of the measurement sample is decreased from 93° C. to 50° C. over 4 minutes and then maintained at 50° C. for 3 minutes; and (4) in the above (2) and (3), a rotational speed of a measurement paddle of the RVA is set to 960 rpm for 10 seconds after the start of the viscosity measurement and is then set to 160 rpm 10 seconds thereafter.
