DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for producing a drink which can be stored for a long period of time and which can be easily drunk in a desired amount in a desired preparation.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when storing beverages such as fruit juice,
A storage additive such as an antioxidant was added and stored in a liquid state. However, conventional beverages that are stored in a liquid state have a limited storage period, and once the storage container is opened, it may deteriorate in a relatively short period of time. It was inconvenient to mix and drink different types of beverages in the desired mix.

[0003] On the other hand, there are foods such as ice candy and sorbet as a favorite product in which the beverage is frozen, but the frozen desserts such as ice candy are determined in size and taste according to the taste of each person. I couldn't enjoy the amount I liked.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention provides a preservation beverage for producing a novel beverage which can be stored for a long period of time, and which can be easily prepared and enjoyed to a desired taste .
It is an object to provide a fabrication method .

[0005]

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the present invention has the following configuration. In other words, the method for producing a preserved beverage according to the present invention comprises the steps of: providing a raw material liquid containing water, a pigment, and a taste component in a ring around the outer periphery in a circumferential direction;
Outside the rotating drum cooled with liquid nitrogen
Dripped on the peripheral surface and frozen on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating drum
Then scrape it off with a scraper to make a granular frozen preserved beverage.
It is characterized in that that.

[0006] In the present invention, the liquid used as a raw material for freezing (hereinafter referred to as "raw liquid") contains some components in the water, such as natural juice, artificial juice drink, vegetable juice, syrup, tea and the like. In addition, it has a dye. As the material of the raw material liquid, for example, orange, apple, strawberry,
Fruits such as lemon, yuzu, peach, grape, avocado, pineapple, mango, papaya, palm, kiwi, banana, melon, watermelon, bullberry, apricot, strawberry, plum, cherry, etc., tomato, spinach, celery There are vegetables such as carrots and pumpkins. When these fruits and vegetables are used as materials, they are subjected to treatments such as sorting, cutting, and pulverization, then squeezed, and filtered if necessary. This natural juice or vegetable juice is used as a raw material liquid, and 1/10
It may be diluted or concentrated to about 5 times to obtain a raw material liquid.

[0007] In addition to these materials,
Japanese tea, Hojicha, Genmaicha, Matcha, Sencha, Chinese tea, U-cha
There are also luxury items such as long tea, pual tea, green tea, black tea, coffee, ginger hot water and cocoa. Further, sugar cane, brown sugar, bean jam, milk, soft drink, colored drink, and the like can also be used.

[0008] This raw material beverage is frozen into a granular frozen body using, for example, a rotary drum type freezing device to obtain a preserved beverage of the present invention. The shape of the granular frozen body has various shapes such as a spherical shape, an elliptical spherical shape, and a tablet shape. For weighing, packaging, and the like, it is preferable that the shape is as close to a spherical shape as possible with no corners. The size of the granular material is preferably a size convenient for blending and thawing, that is, preferably not more than ten millimeters in diameter, and more preferably about 1 mm to 10 mm.

[0009] This preserved beverage is, for example, various kinds,
Those supplied to the consumer in ready combination of those colors, typically a packaged product to put the insulated container. Since this preserved beverage is frozen, it can be stored in a home freezer or the like for a long time without changing its taste, flavor, and the like. In addition, since it is granular, thawing is easy and the amount of mixing is easy to adjust, so that various types can be easily mixed and enjoyed at a desired ratio.

[0010]

EXAMPLE A preservation beverage containing orange juice as a component was prepared from tangerines according to the process shown in FIG. First, tangerines, which are materials, were selected, washed, and squeezed to obtain natural juice. This juice was sterilized and the juice was used as it was, diluted 1/10 to 1/2 times, and 1
The liquid concentrated to 1 to 5 times was mixed to obtain a liquid having an appropriate concentration. This raw material liquid was stored in a batch, pumped up, supplied to a rotary drum type refrigerating apparatus shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, and dropped and frozen to obtain a desired granular preserved beverage.

The refrigeration system 1 includes a rotary drum 3 that is rotated by a drive unit (not shown) in a heat insulating container 2. The rotary drum 3 is formed as a hollow cylindrical body having a number of ring-shaped grooves 4,... Provided along the circumferential direction on the outer peripheral surface, and the shafts 5, 5 'on both sides thereof are also hollow shafts. Thus, liquid nitrogen is supplied into the one shaft 5 from the liquid nitrogen container 7 in an appropriate amount. This liquid nitrogen cools the drum and evaporates in the drum to form the other shaft 5 '.
Is supplied into the heat insulating container 2 through a pipe 9, and the inside of the container is converted into a nitrogen atmosphere, cooled, and then discharged to the outside through an exhaust port 10.

An elongated nozzle 12 having a large number of small openings corresponding to the number of the grooves 4 is provided in the upper part of the rotary drum along the axial direction, and the raw material liquid is supplied onto the drum during rotation of the rotary drum. Drip. Since the drum 3 is cooled from the inner surface by liquid nitrogen, the dripped raw material liquid adheres to the groove of the drum and completely freezes during the time when the drum rotates ３. Then, it is scraped off by the scraper 15 and stored in the lower storage section 16. The surface temperature of the rotating drum 3 was about -100 ° C, and the dropped raw material liquid was frozen in 9 to 90 seconds. By adjusting the cooling conditions, the dropping amount, and the like, a desired granular material can be obtained.

By the above-mentioned freezing treatment, colorful granular preserved drinks having a particle diameter of 1 mm to 10 mm, such as a sphere, an oval sphere, and a tablet, were obtained. This was weighed and placed in an insulated container and packaged. In the same way, make granular preserved drinks made from fruit juices of various colors, such as bananas, melons, strawberries, etc., and individually package and appropriately mix and thaw to suit individual tastes. Mixed juices could be made easily. This juice maintained its freshness and could enjoy excellent taste and aroma.

[0014]

As is apparent from the above description, in the method for producing a preserved beverage according to the present invention, a raw material liquid having fruit juice and other components is frozen into granules using a low-temperature rotating drum.
By, taste, along with the can be stored for extended periods of time without loss of color, etc., only to easily formulated amount you like a variety of things, relatively simple to save the beverage that can be enjoyed as colorful drink that has been in taste Efficient production with simple equipment
And it became possible.
