Description

Packaged tea beverage with suppressed deterioration of color of liquid during heat sterilization, and its preparation method
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a packaged tea beverage in which deterioration of color of liquid during heat sterilization is suppressed, and a method for producing the same.
Background
In recent years, attention has been paid to foods and drinks having health promoting effects due to the increase in health intentions. Among these, tea beverages such as green tea beverages and black tea beverages contain healthy components such as catechin and theanine, and consumer demands are increasing. In addition, from the viewpoint that tea beverages can be consumed at any place and at any time, various packaged tea beverages have been marketed.
It is known that the green tea beverage contained in a container is oxidized during storage, and the green tea color is changed from pale green to reddish brown, which is generally called "browning". This browning phenomenon also occurs during production of tea beverages, particularly during heat sterilization and distribution/storage of tea extracts, and causes not only a decrease in commodity value but also unpleasant taste and odor. In addition, it is known that liquid color deterioration occurs in a packaged black tea beverage during heat sterilization or the like. Therefore, a method for suppressing deterioration of the color of a liquid in tea beverages such as green tea beverages and black tea beverages is desired.
As a method for inhibiting browning during and after the production of green tea beverages, for example, patent document 1 discloses the following method: in a method for producing a green tea beverage, sodium ascorbate is added during or after extraction of green tea using hot water containing sucrose esters at 40 to 80 ℃, and after filling a container with a green tea extract, the remaining air in the container is replaced with nitrogen gas, and patent document 2 discloses a method for adding trehalose to a green tea beverage, and patent document 3 discloses a method for adding L-ascorbic acid 2-glucoside to a green tea beverage.
Further, as a technique for using lactic acid bacteria for foods and drinks, patent document 4 discloses the following method: patent document 5 discloses a method for improving the body thickness (sense of heaviness ご j) of coffee by adding dead cells of lactic acid bacteria or a culture containing the dead cells of lactic acid bacteria to promote the proliferation of lactic acid bacteria as a propagation target and to improve the survival of lactic acid bacteria in a product when culturing lactic acid bacteria as a propagation target, and by adding the dead cells of lactic acid bacteria or the like to a packaged coffee beverage.
However, it has not been known so far that deterioration of the color of a liquid during heat sterilization of a tea beverage can be suppressed when lactic acid bacteria are contained in a tea beverage packaged in a container.

In the present invention, "liquid color deterioration" is expressed by a color difference Δe×ab of the sample with respect to a non-heated sample. The color difference Δe×ab means: the difference between the coordinates L, a, b in color space, i.e. Δl, Δa, Δb, defines the color difference between the two samples (color stimuli). The color difference Δe×ab is defined by the following mathematical expression.
ΔE*ab=[(ΔL*) 2 +(Δa*) 2 +(Δb*) 2 ] 1/2
The liquid color degradation (Δe×ab) during heat sterilization in a certain packaged tea beverage can be measured using a commercially available spectrocolorimeter.
(method for inhibiting deterioration of liquid color during heat sterilization of tea beverage contained in container)
The method of suppressing deterioration of the color of the liquid during heat sterilization in the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it includes a step of containing lactic acid bacteria in the production of the heat sterilized packaged tea beverage having a tea polyphenol concentration of 10 to 200mg/100mL and a pH of 4.5 to 7.5.
Examples
Test 1 evaluation 1 of inhibition of liquid color deterioration by lactic acid bacteria
In order to examine whether or not the deterioration of the color of the liquid due to the heat sterilization treatment of the tea extract was suppressed by the inclusion of lactic acid bacteria, the following test was conducted.
Green tea leaves (autumn winter tea) were placed in hot water at 75℃in the amounts shown in Table 1, and subjected to solid-liquid separation for 6 minutes to prepare a green tea extract. To this green tea extract, dried dead cell powder of JCM5805 strain, L-ascorbic acid and baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) were added in the amounts shown in table 1, and mixed to prepare each of the sample beverages of test examples 4 to 6.
In any of the experiments (experiments 1 to 6) of the examples of the present application, the cell concentration (hundred million/100 mL) of JCM5805 strain in the beverage was measured as follows: samples were prepared by appropriately diluting with PBS buffer (manufactured by TAKARA Co., ltd.) and staining with thiazole orange according to the protocol using BD Cell Viability Kit withBD Liquid Counting Beads (manufactured by Becton-Dikinson Co., ltd.), and were measured by flow cytometry. The cell concentration (hundred million/100 mL) is shown as an approximate number of significant digits at position 2.
In test examples 1 to 3, sample beverages were prepared by blending as shown in table 1.
For the sample beverages of test examples 2, 3, 5 and 6, heat sterilization treatment was performed under the heat treatment conditions described in table 1.
Further, black tea leaves were put into hot water at 85℃in the mixing amounts shown in Table 1, extracted for 6 minutes, and subjected to solid-liquid separation to prepare a black tea extract. To the black tea extract, dried dead cell powder of JCM5805 strain, L-ascorbic acid and baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) were added and mixed to prepare sample beverages of test examples 32 and 33. Test examples 30 and 31 were prepared as sample beverages to which no dried dead cell powder of JCM5805 strain was added, in accordance with the formulation shown in Table 1. The black tea leaves used in the examples of the present application were all produced by sryland.
The sample beverages of test examples 31 and 33 were subjected to heat sterilization under the heat treatment conditions shown in table 1.
The concentrations of tea polyphenols in the sample beverages of test examples 1 to 6 using green tea leaves and the sample beverages of test examples 30 to 33 using black tea leaves were measured by the legal method (iron tartrate absorbance method) described in "description of the fifth revised Japanese food Standard component analysis Specification" by the Japanese food analysis center (Japanese food analysis center, central regulations, month 7 of 2001, p.252). The results are shown in Table 1.
The color difference Δe×ab after heat sterilization treatment was measured by reflectance measurement using a spectrocolorimeter (merida CM-5), using a special petri dish, a white small lid, and a 20mm black spacer ring, based on a non-heated sample (control), and the results are shown in table 1. In any of the experiments (experiments 1 to 6) of the examples of the present application, the measurement of the chromatic aberration Δe×ab was performed by this method.
TABLE 1
As is clear from the results in table 1, when either green tea leaf or black tea leaf is used, color difference Δe×ab (liquid color deterioration) of the unheated sample beverage is suppressed in the case of containing JCM5805 strain compared with the case of not containing JCM5805 strain. Specifically, the case where green tea leaves are used will be described, wherein the color difference 3.29 of test example 5 with respect to the control (test example 4) is smaller than the color difference 4.61 of test example 2 with respect to the control (test example 1), and the color difference 5.03 of test example 6 with respect to the control (test example 4) is also smaller than the color difference 6.26 of test example 3 with respect to the control (test example 1). Further, the case where black tea leaves were used was described, and the color difference 9.65 of test example 33 with respect to the control (test example 32) was also smaller than the color difference 19.4 of test example 31 with respect to the control (test example 30).
These results indicate that, when either of the green tea extract and the black tea extract is used, deterioration in color of the liquid due to heat sterilization treatment of the tea extract is suppressed by containing lactobacillus.
