2. Description of the Related Art Fermented milk containing lactic acid bacteria or Bifidobacterium bacteria has been widely eaten and consumed as a health drink having a good flavor and also having physiological activities such as an intestinal action and an immunostimulatory action. ing. In particular, Bifidobacterium bacteria are useful bacteria that live in the intestines of humans and animals,
Since its usefulness such as prevention or treatment of diarrhea, constipation, and infectious disease, and suppression of the growth of harmful bacteria in the intestine has been clinically clarified, it is attracting attention as an excellent food material.

[0003] The physiological action of these bacteria depends on the number of bacteria present in the fermented milk. Therefore, in order to obtain excellent physiological effects, it is desirable that fermentation of the bacteria at the time of production proceeds as much as possible. For this reason, usually, fermentation is performed until the pH at which the growth of the bacteria reaches the stationary phase (about 4.0 to 4.5), and as a result, the pH of the final product is often 4.5 or less. . The isoelectric point of casein, a milk protein, is pH
Since it is 4.6, in order to maintain product stability,
It is desirable to lower the product pH to 4.5 or less,
This is also a factor that determines the pH of the product.

It is desirable that the fermentation of the bacteria be performed until the growth of the bacteria used reaches the stationary phase in order to increase the number of bacteria and suppress the deterioration of flavor during storage of the product. By the way,
The growth of the above bacteria reaches the stationary phase, generally at pH
Since 5.4 to 4.6, the fermentation is performed at such a pH.
It is preferable to perform the process up to the range. In the present invention, an alkali salt is added to the fermented milk, and the pH of the finally obtained product is adjusted.
Is set to 5.4 or more. Addition of an alkali salt suppresses the deterioration of flavor during storage of the product. On the other hand, if the pH is lower than 5.4, the acidity of the fermented milk food or drink containing the genus Bifidobacterium increases, and the refreshing feeling is reduced. This is because the stability also decreases. The upper limit of the product pH is preferably set to 6.5. If the pH is 6.5 or more, astringency is developed, and the flavor becomes worse. In particular, pH5.
6-6.0 is preferred.
