DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a simple taste improving device for liquid taste products, and more particularly to alcoholic beverages such as sake, whiskey and brandy, soy sauce, noodle soup and vinegar. The present invention relates to a simple taste-improving device for a liquid taste product that can improve the taste of various liquid taste products such as liquid seasonings and natural juices and water to a more preferable one by a simple operation. .

[0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Liquid taste products include various alcoholic beverages such as sake and shochu, liquid seasonings such as soy sauce, vinegar, noodle soup and sauce, liquid vegetable beverages such as natural juice drinks and vegetable juice drinks, and water. and so on.

[0003] These liquid luxury products are commercially available as raw materials obtained by subjecting the undiluted solution obtained after various necessary processes corresponding to the type and properties thereof to fermentation, squeezing, blending, etc., to heat treatment and filtration. The products are shipped after processing necessary to stabilize the quality and bottled.

[0004]

However, since the above-mentioned liquid taste products are conventionally shipped after being subjected to necessary processing such as filtration, the quality is improved and the stabilization is tentatively attempted. I was

[0005] However, when the liquid taste product is an alcoholic beverage such as sake, for example, the quality of taste due to the difference in product rank and the like is strictly present, and the taste is relatively inexpensive. In fact, it is difficult to find good alcoholic beverages.

When the liquid taste product is soy sauce or straight noodle soup, it is said that an appropriate aging period, such as about 3 months, is required to obtain a favorable taste. When these undiluted solutions are used before the ripening period without any treatment, there is an inconvenience of leaving a problem in taste, such as poor taste.

[0007] Further, when the liquid taste product is vinegar such as three tablespoons vinegar or persimmon vinegar, it smells harsh as it is,
There were problems such as a stinging taste.

Further, when the liquid luxury item is a natural vegetable drink such as grapefruit juice or a liquid plant drink such as a vegetable juice drink, depending on the kind of fruit or vegetable, it may be soured even if it is consumed raw. The taste is too dark,
In addition to the smell of blue and the mixed scent, there was still a problem in taste.

On the other hand, tap water and the like cannot sufficiently remove mold odor, organic odor, and chalky odor from ordinary water purification technology due to contamination of the water source, and are said to be unpleasant and odorous and have become a widespread social problem. ing.

[0010]

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention has been made in view of the above problems found in the prior art, characteristic of its construction, SiO ₂ by a heat treatment borosilicate glass
A first phase hardly soluble in acid rich, SiO ₂ is allowed to relatively small second phase easily dissolved in acid and bisection phase, formed by eluting the more second phases sanshool sense, the thickness direction And a large number of micropores leading to a mean pore size of 0.1 to 25.0.
A permeable membrane material formed of a phase-separated porous glass membrane material having a SiO ₂ skeleton within a range of μm and having a plate shape or a bottomed cylindrical shape that allows the permeation of the liquid luxury product, and a liquid luxury product. At least one cylindrical member which holds the permeable membrane material interposed so as to close the through flow path for injecting and outflow and which is formed at one side thereof so as to be freely attached to and detached from the mounting target member. The cylindrical member has an outer cylindrical portion having a mounting portion for supporting the elastic material on the inner peripheral surface, and the transmission force due to a pressing force formed by pressing and deforming the elastic material disposed in the outer cylindrical portion. It is formed by an inner cylinder part fixed to the outer cylinder part to hold the film material.

Further, the tubular member in the present invention is formed by attaching an attachment member to one side of the attachment member for ensuring the detachability of the container containing the liquid luxury item to be attached to the spout port. Alternatively, a funnel-shaped member or a suction-type liquid storage member as a member to be attached may be provided on one side thereof.

[0012]

Therefore, the permeable membrane material can be securely and easily held on the tubular member by being mounted between the outer tubular portion and the inner tubular portion with the elastic material interposed therebetween. Exchange can be performed very easily. In addition, the cylindrical member can be attached to the member to be attached by passing through one side thereof. Therefore, if the member to be attached is, for example, a container containing a liquid luxury item, the top and bottom are reversed. In addition to allowing the liquid taste product to flow out through the permeable membrane material, if the member to be attached is a funnel-shaped member, the liquid taste product in the funnel-shaped member is automatically allowed to flow down through the permeable membrane material, and so on. If the member to be mounted is a suction-type liquid storage member, the liquid luxury product is forcibly sucked up to the liquid storage portion side while allowing the permeable membrane material to pass therethrough, and the permeable film is re-transmitted. The material can be transferred to another container while transmitting the material.

Further, in any of the above-mentioned cases, the liquid taste product is made to pass through the fine holes from the positive pressure side to the negative pressure side by utilizing the differential pressure formed between one side and the other side of the permeable membrane material. In such a case, water molecules wrap the taste-inhibiting molecules and form clusters in the process of passing through cylindrical micropores that are formed by bending in a complicated manner. Therefore, it is possible to consequently improve the taste of the liquid taste product after permeation (in the present specification, such a taste improving effect is referred to as a “cluster effect”. The effect is that even if the permeable membrane material composed of the phase separation method porous glass membrane material may also provide a filtering effect or an adsorption effect,
These are effects obtained based on a completely different principle from the filtering effect and the adsorption effect. ).
