Description

本発明はコーヒー、紅茶、日本茶、麦茶、ウーロン茶、ハーブ茶またはフレーバードウォーター等の中性域で良好な風味を有する飲料原料をベースとする飲料組成物からなるチルド飲料およびその製造方法に関する。より具体的には、コーヒー、紅茶、日本茶、麦茶、ウーロン茶、ハーブ茶またはフレーバードウォーター等の中性域で良好な風味を有する飲料原料をベースとする飲料組成物からなるチルド飲料であって、乳酸菌が生菌の状態で存在し、且つ乳酸発酵しない条件まで冷却することを特徴とするチルド飲料およびその製造方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a chilled beverage comprising a beverage composition based on a beverage ingredient having a good flavor in a neutral region such as coffee, black tea, Japanese tea, barley tea, oolong tea, herbal tea or flavored water, and a method for producing the same. More specifically, a chilled beverage comprising a beverage composition based on a beverage ingredient having a good flavor in a neutral range such as coffee, black tea, Japanese tea, barley tea, oolong tea, herbal tea or flavored water, The present invention relates to a chilled beverage and a method for producing the chilled beverage, wherein the lactic acid bacteria are cooled to a condition in which lactic acid bacteria exist in a live state and do not undergo lactic acid fermentation.

近年の消費者は嗜好が多様化している。中でも風味についての感覚が鋭敏となっている。従って、原料の風味がより好ましい飲料の開発が望まれているが、従来法により製造された飲料では、一般的な加熱殺菌により、加熱臭が発生するなど風味の劣化が避けられない状況にある。また、加熱殺菌条件の軽減を目的として、クエン酸等の有機酸を添加することにより飲料のpHを低下させた後に殺菌する方法も実施されているが、その有機酸等の酸味により風味が損なわれるという結果となっている。   Consumers in recent years have diversified preferences. Above all, the sense of flavor is sensitive. Therefore, development of beverages with more preferable flavors of raw materials is desired, but beverages produced by conventional methods are in a situation in which deterioration of the flavor is unavoidable due to generation of heated odor due to general heat sterilization. . In addition, for the purpose of reducing heat sterilization conditions, a method of sterilization after lowering the pH of a beverage by adding an organic acid such as citric acid has been implemented, but the flavor is impaired by the acidity of the organic acid or the like. As a result.

一方、飲料の製造過程において、乳酸菌を利用し、風味を保持する試みも見られる。例えば、特開昭50−018653には、長期保存可能な野菜ジュースの製法を目的に、特開昭57−138370には野菜ジュース本来の風味を損なうことなくこの加熱臭を除去する目的で、野菜ジュースに乳酸菌を添加し乳酸発酵させた後に低温殺菌をする野菜ジュースの製造法が開示されている。また、特開昭59−098672には、果汁の乳酸発酵液からなる乳酸菌飲料が、特開昭60−251867には、広範囲の果実の果汁から高濃度に乳酸菌を含む乳酸菌飲料を製造するための果汁の処理に特徴を有する乳酸菌飲料の製造法が開示されている。しかしこれらはいずれも、その製造過程において乳酸発酵を実施しているか、若しくは飲料原料を強い殺菌条件にて処理を行っているため、素材本来の味・香り・色合いを保持した飲料とはなっていない。
特開昭50−018653 特開昭57−138370 特開昭59−098672 特開昭60−251867
On the other hand, in the beverage production process, attempts have been made to use lactic acid bacteria to maintain the flavor. For example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 50-018653 discloses a method for producing a vegetable juice that can be stored for a long period of time, and Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 57-138370 discloses a method for removing this heated odor without impairing the original flavor of vegetable juice. A method for producing vegetable juice is disclosed in which lactic acid bacteria are added to juice and subjected to lactic acid fermentation followed by pasteurization. JP-A-59-098672 discloses a lactic acid bacteria beverage comprising a lactic acid fermentation broth, and JP-A-60-251867 discloses a lactic acid bacteria beverage containing lactic acid bacteria at a high concentration from a wide range of fruit juices. A method for producing a lactic acid bacteria beverage characterized by fruit juice processing is disclosed. However, all of these are lactic acid fermentation in the production process, or the beverage raw material is processed under strong sterilization conditions, so it is a beverage that retains the original taste, aroma, and color of the material. Absent.
