BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for preventing browning of foods containing powdered tea, and to a food which is prevented from browning by such a method (particularly a green tea beverage in a transparent container).

2. Description of the Related Art Matcha is a green tea unique to Japan that was born in the Momoyama era, and the drinking form of matcha used to be limited to the wealthy classes such as samurai and public houses, but has gradually spread to the general public. . Recently, foods using matcha, such as tea dumplings and ice cream containing matcha, have been circulating and have become popular.

[0003] The tea powder contained in matcha is generally made from leaves obtained by shading cultivation as raw materials, and dried steamed leaves (tendried) without being rubbed (tencha) are cut into a 3-5 mm length by a cutting machine. It is made into small corners, the veins are separated and removed, and finely ground with a stone mill.

[0004] In the drinking form using matcha, since the tea leaves are directly consumed, it is possible to ingest oil-soluble components that are not extracted in hot water. As something that can be done, attention is also being paid to health.

However, oil-soluble components that are not extracted into hot water are very sensitive to light, oxygen, heat, etc., and foods using matcha are extremely easily discolored and filled in a transparent container in which the contents can be seen as they are. There were difficulties when selling. In particular, in a food in which powdered tea is dispersed in water (that is, a matcha beverage), a brown change (browning) occurs even though the quality has not actually deteriorated. Browning then occurs during a short period of time during display, which leads to a deterioration in the appearance of the product, giving the consumer the impression that significant quality deterioration has occurred. Especially with regard to this product, the greening of matcha forms a relatively large part of the product value, so the browning situation is, in a sense, a very fatal situation for this product, and it has a remarkable desire to purchase. Not only decline, but also bad reputation. For this reason, a matcha drink filled in a transparent container in which the contents can be seen as it has been has not been put into practical use for a long time. In addition, in the case of matcha drinks,
The powdered tea dispersed in water settles after being left for a while, and this also causes a problem in that the appearance is deteriorated and the purchase motivation is lowered.

In this regard, in particular, regarding "matcha drink", although it is called "food using matcha", the fact that powdered tea is contained in the powder causes deterioration of the matcha component. There was even a powdered tea with a very low content so that the sedimentation of the powdered tea did not become a problem.

[0007] However, if the occurrence of browning and the sedimentation of powdered tea can be suppressed in a matcha beverage, the green of matcha forms a large commercial value in the matcha beverage, as described above. Therefore, the filling of the transparent container, which has conventionally been a factor of lowering the commercial value, acts to enhance the commercial value.

There are chocolate with matcha, jelly with matcha, etc.

If such foods are interpreted directly from their words, it can be interpreted that the content of powdered tea may be very small. However, "claims" and "means for solving the problems" As used herein in the following description, "food using matcha" or "food containing powdered tea" means, from the gist of the present invention, a degree of deterioration in visual recognition, particularly transparent. It means that powdered tea is contained to such an extent that deterioration becomes a problem when the tea is filled in a container. In particular, when the powdered tea-containing food is a matcha beverage filled in a transparent container,
In addition, it means that the powdered tea is contained to such an extent that the sedimentation of the powdered tea can be visually recognized.

Similarly, the “effective amount” of “vitamin C”, “mixture of vitamin C and its salts”, or “sodium ascorbate” refers to an amount which can achieve the object of the present invention, ie, contains powdered tea. Foods, in particular, an amount that can prevent browning of a matcha beverage filled in a transparent container. This “effective amount” means that conventional beverages (not limited to matcha beverages) may also contain vitamin C (or sodium vitamin C) or be naturally contained in such beverages. This is a concept for clearly distinguishing cases from the present invention. Therefore, in the case where an amount of sodium ascorbate capable of preventing browning has been added to food for the purpose of preventing browning, the food is included in the scope of the present invention.

Specific examples of such an "effective amount" include 0.005% by weight to 0.5% by weight. When the amount is less than 0.005% by weight, the browning preventing effect is not obtained. On the other hand, if it is not obtained sufficiently, if it exceeds 0.5% by weight, the saltiness (enmi) of the beverage becomes strong, accompanied by slumberiness spreading over the entire tongue, and the taste This is because difficulties arise. However, a more preferred amount is from 0.01% by weight to 0.5% by weight.

Thickening polysaccharides such as gellan gum, xanthan gum and curdlan (especially these are called “fermented polysaccharides”) are food additives classified as thickeners, stabilizers and gelling agents, (A supervised by Akio Tanimura, edited by the Japan Food Additives Association, Koseikan, Food Additives in Daily Life, p. 210). Dextrin is also a food additive often used as a thickener, stabilizer, and gelling agent. Native gellan gum is a high molecular weight polysaccharide of microbial origin obtained as a precursor of gellan gum prior to deacylation treatment (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. Hei 10-234316).

The amount of the thickening polysaccharide depends on the type of the thickening polysaccharide, but is preferably 0.0001% to 1.0% by weight, more preferably 0.0001% to 0.5% by weight. In this range, the powdered tea can be settled without impairing the texture of the matcha beverage and without the salting out even though the salt of sodium ascorbate is present. Thus, the generation of precipitation is prevented for a certain period. The composition of the thickening polysaccharide and its composition ratio are appropriately determined depending on the situation (supervised by Akio Tanimura, edited by the Japan Food Additives Association, Koseikan, food additives in daily life, p91 and p210-217). ). Also, based on the amount of the thickening polysaccharide, 0.0001% to 1.0% by weight of microcrystalline cellulose, more preferably 0.0001% to 0.5% by weight of microcrystalline cellulose. It is effective when used together. This is because the powdered tea particles and the microcrystalline cellulose particles are negatively charged with each other, so that a state is formed in which they repel each other and maintain a colloidal state.

The "green tea beverage" may contain various components such as milk, sugars, fragrances, coloring agents, and emulsifiers, as required, in addition to the powdered tea and the components according to the present invention. Examples of the “blue dye” used in the present invention include a gardenia blue dye. By adding this to correct the color tone, it becomes possible to produce and maintain a more matcha-like color.

The term "green tea component" has a broader concept than powdered tea, which contains not only powdered tea itself but also dissolved components and the like. Therefore, the present invention includes not only the case where the browning of the powdered tea dispersed in the matcha drink is prevented but also the case where the browning of the component leached from the powdered tea is prevented.

As the "transparent container", a glass bottle, a PET bottle and the like which are generally used at present can be used. The present invention has a significance in that, particularly in a matcha drink, not only the settling of powdered tea is prevented, but also the browning is effectively prevented, so that the matcha drink can be filled in a transparent container. Therefore, the term "transparent container in which the contents are visible as it is" means that no processing such as smoke processing has been performed that makes it difficult or obstructs visual recognition of the contents filled in the transparent container.
