Description

SPECIFICATION YOGURT-LIKE BEVERAGE, CONTAINER PACKED BEVERAGE, AND METHOD OF IMPROVING AFTERTASTE OF YOGURT-LIKE BEVERAGE TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001]
The present invention relates to a yogurt-like beverage, a
container packed beverage, and a method of improving an aftertaste
of a yogurt-like beverage.
BACKGROUND ART
[0002]
In general, a yogurt-like beverage is known as a kind of highly
palatable refreshing beverages that have a unique taste similar to
yogurt.
As the yogurt-likebeverage, thereis atype ofbeverageincluding
acid milk obtained by fermenting a milk raw material using a
microorganismsuchaslacticacidbacteriaandaflavor typeofbeverage
obtained by imparting yogurt-like flavor using a flavoring agent
component such as a flavor.
As the type of beverage including the acid milk, for example,
Patent Document 1 discloses a technology of obtaining a unique
milk-flavored acidic beverage including a lactic beverage and lactic
acid, by mixing milk.
RELATED DOCUMENT PATENT DOCUMENT
[00031
[Patent Document 1] Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No.
2004-329152
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION TECHNICAL PROBLEM
[0004]
In the milk-flavored acid beverage disclosed in Patent Document
1, milk-like flavor could be obtained, but it has an object to refresh
the aftertaste by softening spices from curry or the like and there
was room for improvement in terms ofmaking aftertaste of the beverage
itself refreshing.
[00051
Therefore, as a result of intensive studies on a beverage in
which yogurt flavor was obtained without using milk, the present
inventors have found that, in a case of including lactic acid in the
beverage, it was possible to improve palatability such as koku (body)
or yogurt feeling, whereas there was room for improvement in terms
of refreshingness of aftertaste after drinking. On the other hand,
it was found that, in a case where the flavor type of yogurt-like
beverage does not include the lactic acid, it was good in terms of
the refreshingness of the aftertaste after drinking, however, the
palatability such as koku (body) or yogurt feeling does not meet
a required level. That is, it was found that there was a so-called
trade-off relationship between thirst-quenching property such as
aftertaste and the palatability such as yogurt feeling.
[00061
An aspect of the present invention is to provide a yogurt-like
beverage excellent in balance between the thirst-quenching property
and the palatability.
SOLUTION TO PROBLEM
[0007]
According to the present invention, there is provided a
yogurt-like beverage including lactic acid and a compound having a
phosphorus atom, in which a pH of the yogurt-like beverage is equal
to or higher than 2.8 and equal to or lower than 4.0, and when a content
ofthelacticacidrelative toatotalamountoftheyogurt-likebeverage
is set as A (% by mass) and the amount of the phosphorus atom in the
compound having a phosphorus atom relative to the total amount of
the yogurt-like beverage is set as B (% by mass), a value of A/B is
equal to or more than 0.9 and equal to or less than 32.
[00081
Inaddition, accordingtothepresentinvention, thereisprovided
a container packed beverage, obtained by filling a transparent
container with the yogurt-like beverage.
[00091
Furthermore, according to the present invention, there is
provided a method of improving aftertaste of a yogurt-like beverage
including lactic acid and a compound having a phosphorus atom, the
method including a step of adjusting a pH of the yogurt-like beverage
to be equal to or higher than 2.8 and equal to or lower than 4.0,
and when a content of the lactic acid relative to a total amount of
the yogurt-like beverage is set as A (% by mass) and the amount of the phosphorus atom in the compound having a phosphorus atom relative to the total amount of the yogurt-like beverage is set as B (% by mass), adjusting a value of A/B to be equal to or more than 0.9 and equal to or less than 32.
ADVANTAGEOUS EFFECTS OF INVENTION
[0010]
According to the present invention, it is possible to provide
a technology relating to a yogurt-like beverage achieving both
thirst-quenching property and palatability.
DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS
[0011]
<Yogurt-like Beverage>
A yogurt-like beverage according to the present embodiment
(hereinafter, also referred to as "the present yogurt-like beverage")
includes lactic acid and a compound having a phosphorus atom. Then,
a pH of the present yogurt-like beverage is equal to or higher than
2.8andequaltoorlowerthan4.0. Inaddition, thepresentyogurt-like
beverage is controlled such that, when a content of the lactic acid
relative to a total amount of the yogurt-like beverage is set as A
(% by mass) and the amount of the phosphorus atom in the compound
havingaphosphorusatomrelative to the totalamountoftheyogurt-like
beverage is set as B (% by mass), a value of A/B is equal to or more
than0.9andequaltoorless than32. Accordingto this, itispossible
to realize a yogurt-like beverage achieving both thirst-quenching
property and palatability.
[0012]
In the yogurt-like beverage of the present embodiment, the
thirst-quenchingpropertyis arefreshingfeelingofaftertaste after
ingesting a beverage, and is particularly a preferable performance
at the time ofingestion for thirst-quenchingin summer. In addition,
the palatability is a yogurt feeling or koku (body) required for
a general yogurt-like beverage, and is different from a performance
required for so-called sports beverage, fruit juice beverage, or the
like.
[0013]
The present yogurt-like beverage is a beverage that improves
transparency thereofcompared to aconventionalyogurt-likebeverage,
in order to improve a demand as a thirst-quenching beverage.
Specifically, the present yogurt-like beverage is a high clarity
beverage controlled such that an absorbance of the beverage at a
wavelength of 650 nm is preferably equal to or less than 0.2, more
preferably equal to or less than 0.02, and stillmore preferably equal
to or less than 0.015.
Here, most of the conventional types of the yogurt-like beverage
includingmilk or acidmilk are cloudydue to an influence of a component
derived from a milk raw material (milk protein). Therefore, the
absorbance of the conventional yogurt-like beverage at a wavelength
of 650 nm usually shows a value of equal to or more than 1 in most
cases. In addition, although it is different from the yogurt-like
beverage, the absorbance of a conventional sports beverage at a
wavelength of 650 nm known as one of the thirst-quenching beverage
usually shows a value of approximately 0.2 in most cases.
Fromthisfact,itcanbesaidthatthepresentyogurt-likebeverage
is a beverage exhibiting extremely high transparency compared to the
conventional yogurt-like beverage.
In addition, from another point of view, it can be said that
the present yogurt-like beverage is a beverage exhibiting
approximately the same levelof transparency as that ofa conventional
sports drink or higher transparency than that of the sports drink.
Therefore, it can be said that the present yogurt-like beverage is
a beverage exhibiting a level of transparency favored by a consumer
as a thirst-quenching beverage, at least in terms of an appearance
of the beverage.
[0014]
The present yogurt-like beverage may be the type of beverage
including the acid milk and the flavor type beverage, which are
described in a section of "BACKGROUND ART". That is, in a case where
the present yogurt-like beverage is the type including the acid milk,
it can be said that the beverage includes, as essential components,
three components of lactic acid, a compound having a phosphorus atom,
and the acid milk. On the other hand, in a case where the present
yogurt-likebeverageistheflavortype,itcanbesaidthatthebeverage
includes, as essential components, three components of a compound
having a phosphorus atom, phosphoric acid, and a flavoring agent.
In other words, it can be said that the present yogurt-like beverage
includes, as essential components, the acid milk or the flavoring
agent, together with the lactic acid and the compound having a
phosphorus atom.
[0015]
A pH of the present yogurt-like beverage is equal to or higher
than 2.8 and equal to or lower than 4.0. According to this, it is
possible to improve the palatability of the beverage in terms of
applying a specific sourness to the yogurt-like beverage, in other
words, aunique taste (yogurtfeeling) similar toyogurt. Inaddition,
in a case where the present yogurt-like beverage is a type including
the acidmilk, whencontrolisperformedsuchthat thepHofthebeverage
is within the numerical range, it is possible to suppress reduction
of solubility of the milk protein contained in the acid milk to water.
Therefore, even in a case where the present yogurt-like beverage is
the type including the acidmilk, when the pH of the beverage is within
the numericalrange, itpossible toprevent the beverage frombecoming
cloudy due to the influence of the milk protein. As a result, it
ispossible to suppress adecrease in the transparency of the beverage.
An isoelectric point of the milk protein is generally known as pH
4.6.
[0016]
In addition, an upper limit of the pH of the present yogurt-like
beverageisequaltoorlower than4.0, butfromaviewpointofimproving
thebalancebetween the thirst-quenchingpropertyandthepalatability
of the beverage, is preferably equal to or lower than pH 3.8, more
preferably equal to or lower than pH 3.5, and still more preferably
equal to or lower than pH 3.4. On the other hand, a lower limit of
the pH of the present yogurt-like beverage is, for example, equal
toorhigher thanpH2.8, fromaviewpoint ofsuppressingdeterioration
of an aroma component in the beverage. Therefore, in a case where
the lower limit of the pH of the present yogurt-like beverage is controlled to be equal to or higher than the numerical value, as a result, it is possible to improve the palatability of the beverage.
[0017]
Hereinafter, aspecificconfigurationofthepresent yogurt-like
beverage will be described in detail.
[0018]
The lactic acid is a kind of hydroxy acid and functions as an
acidulant and one having bacteriostasis.
[0019]
A value of the content A of the lactic acid relative to the total
amount of the present yogurt-like beverage is preferably equal to
or more than 0.005% by mass and equal to or less than 0.05% by mass,
more preferably equal to or more than 0.006% by mass and equal to
or less than 0.04% by mass, and still more preferably equal to or
more than 0.0075% by mass and equal to or less than 0.035% by mass.
According to this, in the present yogurt-like beverage, itis possible
to improve the palatability in terms of yogurt feeling.
[0020]
The compound having a phosphorus atom is not particularly limited
as long as it can be added to food and drink, and from a viewpoint
ofachievingboth the thirst-quenchingproperty and the palatability,
is a compound having a phosphate group. Examples of the compound
havingaphosphategroupincludephyticacid, phosphate, pyrophosphate,
metaphosphate, phosphate cross-linked starch, phospholipid, nucleic
acid, phosphate ester, and polyphosphoric acid. From a viewpoint
of improving an overall deliciousness of the present yogurt-like
beverage, itismorepreferablyatleastone selectedfromthephosphate, phosphate ester such as phytic acid, and polyphosphoric acid, and still more preferably phosphate or phosphate ester such as phytic acid. One kindofthesemaybeusedalone and two ormore kinds thereof may be used by mixing.
[0021]
In addition, a value of the amount of the phosphorus atom B in
the compound having a phosphorus atom relative to the total amount
of the present yogurt-like beverage is preferably equal to or more
than 0.001% by mass and equal to or less than 0.02% by mass, more
preferably equal to or more than 0.005% by mass and equal to or less
than 0.018% by mass, and still more preferably equal to or more than
0.008% by mass and equal to or less than 0.015% by mass. According
to this, in the present yogurt-like beverage, itis possible toimprove
the thirst-quenching property in terms of aftertaste.
The amount of the phosphorus atom in the compound having a
phosphorus atom can be measured using an atomic absorption method.
[0022]
As described above, the present yogurt-like beverage is
controlled such that, when the content of the lactic acid relative
to the total amount of the beverage is set as A (% by mass) and the
amount of the phosphorus atom in the compound having a phosphorus
atom relative to the total amount of the beverage is set as B (% by
mass), a value of A/B is equal to or more than 0.9 and equal to or
less than 32. That is, it can be said that the present yogurt-like
beverage is obtained by controlling the balance between the content
of the lactic acid and the content ofphosphorus atoms in the compound
having a phosphorus atom, which are contained in the beverage as essential components. According to this, it is possible to realize a yogurt-like beverage achieving both the thirst-quenching property in terms of aftertaste and palatability in terms of yogurt feeling.
The reason for this is not clear, but it is considered that a taste
derivedfromthe compoundhavingaphosphorus atomacts onhumanpalate
faster than the sourness derived from the lacticacid, and as aresult,
the sourness derived from the lactic acid can be masked by the taste
of the compound having a phosphorus atom while maintaining a milk
taste derived from the lactic acid.
[0023]
In the present embodiment, when the content of the lactic acid
relative to the total amount of the beverage is set as A (% by mass)
and the amount of the phosphorus atom in the compound having a phosphorus
atom relative to the total amount of the beverage is set as B (% by
mass), the value of A/B is equal to or more than 0.9 and equal to
or less than 32. From viewpoints of obtaining deliciousness, the
yogurt feeling, and the refreshing of aftertaste, it is equal to or
more than0.9, preferablyequaltoormore than1.0, andmorepreferably
equaltoormore than1.2. Fromviewpointsofrefreshingtheaftertaste
and obtaining the sourness, the value of A/B is equal to or less than
32, preferably equal to or less than 25, and more preferably equal
toorlessthan22. Inaddition, fromtheviewpointoffurtherimproving
thebalancebetween the thirst-quenchingpropertyandthepalatability,
the value of A/B is equal to or more than 0.9 and equal to or less
than 32, preferably equal to or more than 1.0 and equal to or less
than 25, and more preferably equal to or more than 1.2 and equal to
or less than 22.
[0024]
Furthermore, the present yogurt-like beverage has the following
configuration, thereby making the balance between the palatability
and the thirst-quenchingproperty favorable and obtaining the balance
more stably.
[0025]
In addition, from the viewpoint of improving the palatability
of the beverage, the present yogurt-like beverage further includes
at least one of a flavoring agent such as yogurt flavor and alcohol.
A lower limit of a mixing amount of at least one of the flavoring
agent and alcohol is preferably equal to or more than 0.01% by mass,
more preferably equal to or more than 0.05% by mass, and still more
preferably equal to or more than 0.1% by mass, and an upper limit
thereofis preferablyequal to or less than1%bymass, morepreferably
equal to or less than 0.5% by mass, and still more preferably equal
to or less than 0.3% by mass, relative to the total amount of the
beverage. In addition, when the mixing amount is within the range,
it is possible to obtain preferable yogurt-like flavor.
[0026]
Inaddition, thepresentyogurt-likebeveragemayfurtherinclude
an acidulant from the viewpoint of improving the refreshing feeling
of the aftertaste of the beverage while maintaining the transparency
of the beverage. As the acidulant, known ones can be used, and examples
thereofinclude citricacid salts suchas trisodiumcitrate, anhydrous
citricacid, adipicacid, gluconicacid, succinicacid, tartaricacid,
lactic acid, fumaric acid, malic acid, phytic acid, ascorbic acid,
or salts thereof.
[0 027]

a sweetener for the purpose of improving the palatability of the
beverage in terms of taste. As the sweetener, known ones can be used,
examples thereof include sugars such as sucrose, glucose, granulated
sugar, fructose, lactose, maltose, and fructose glucose liquid sugar,
low-intensity sweeteners such as xylitol and D-sorbitol, and
high-intensitysweeteners suchas thaumatin, steviaextract, disodium
glycyrrhizinate, acesulfame potassium, sucralose, aspartame,
saccharin, neotame, and saccharin sodium.
[0028]
Inaddition, thepresentyogurt-likebeveragemayfurtherinclude
food additives such as fruit juice, various nutritional components,
variousplantextracts, acoloringagent, adiluent, andanantioxidant,
within a range not impairing the advances of the present invention.
[0029]
In addition, from the viewpoint of improving the palatability
ofthebeverage, citricacidacidityofthepresentyogurt-likebeverage
is preferably equal to or more than 0.05% by mass and equal to or
less than 0.3% by mass, and still more preferably equal to or more
