Description

【0001】
【産業上の利用分野】
本発明は、乳風味酸性飲料と、牛乳を混合することにより乳風味酸性飲料を得るための素材に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来から酸性乳飲料に関して多くの提案がされている。例えば、特許文献1は、酸性下において蛋白の安定性の向上および低粘度化による食感の改良を同時に図ることのできる酸性蛋白食品を提案している。具体的には、この酸性蛋白食品は、低分子化したペクチンを0.5%以上含有し、pHが4.1〜5.0の範囲にあり、また、粘度が25℃で10mPa・s以下の飲料である。
【0003】
また、特許文献2は、蛋白粒子の凝集、沈殿、相分離等の欠点を防止し、低粘度でスッキリとした食感の酸性蛋白食品を提案している。すなわち、特許文献2は、甜菜由来のペクチンを含有することを特徴とする酸性蛋白食品を提案している。また、特許文献2には、この酸性蛋白食品の実施例として、粘度が10mPa・s以下の飲むヨーグルトが開示されている。
【0004】
また、特許文献3は、加熱殺菌後においても上澄みや沈殿の生じない安定で、且つ糊状感の酸性乳飲料を製造する方法を提案している。すなわち、特許文献3は、酸性乳飲料を製造するに際し、安定剤としてペクチンとアラビアガムとを併用することを特徴とする酸性乳飲料の製造方法を提案している。また、特許文献3には、この酸性乳飲料の実施例として、粘度が15〜18cpの低粘度の乳酸菌飲料が開示されている。
【0005】
また、特許文献4は、酸性乳飲料の安定化の向上および低粘度化を図ることのできる酸性乳飲料安定化組成物および酸性乳飲料を提案している。すなわち、特許文献4は、ペクチン分解酵素を作用させることにより得られる低分子ペクチンと酵素分解を受けていないペクチンとを混合してなる酸性乳飲料安定化組成物およびこの組成物を含有する酸性乳飲料を提案している。また、特許文献4には、この酸性乳飲料の実施例として、粘度が10cpよりも低い酸性乳飲料が開示されている。
【0006】
このように、酸性乳飲料に関して多くの提案がされている。しかし、特許文献1に開示されている飲料は、牛乳を含んでいるが、はつ酵乳や乳酸菌飲料を含んでいない。一方、特許文献2〜4には、はつ酵乳又は乳酸菌飲料を含む酸性乳飲料が開示されているが、これらの飲料は、牛乳を含んでいない。したがって、特許文献1〜4には、いずれにも、牛乳と、はつ酵乳及び/又は乳酸菌飲料とを含むものについては開示されていない。また、特許文献1〜4に開示されている飲料は、いずれも粘度が低いことを特徴としている。
【0007】
一方、特許文献5は、蛋白性物質を含有する酸性ゲル状食品の製造法を提案している。また、特許文献5は、砂糖、低メトキシルペクチン、クエン酸、オレンジ果汁、メタリン酸ナトリウム及び水を攪拌溶解して調製したシロップすなわち素材を、牛乳と混合することにより直ぐに酸性ゲル状食品が得られることを提案している。しかし、特許文献5に開示されているのは、ゲル状食品であって飲料ではない。また、このゲル状食品は、はつ酵乳及び乳酸菌飲料のうちの少なくとも1種を含んでいない。
【0008】
ところで、インドやネパールには、ヨーグルト(はつ酵乳)とベースとして、これに水や牛乳、砂糖などを混ぜて作る「ラッシィ」と呼ばれる飲料がある。例えば、非特許文献1には、ミキサーにプレーン・ヨーグルト2カップ、水2カップ、砂糖(好みの量)を入れて数分間混ぜ、ローズ・ウオーター2〜3滴たらしてもう一瞬混ぜて作る「ラッシィ」が記載されている。このラッシィは、わが国でもインド料理やネパール料理の専門店で提供されており、その特有の味と粘性によって、カレーなどを食したときに口の中に残る香辛味を和らげて後味をすっきりとさせることができることから、カレーなど香辛味の強い料理の食中/食後に好んで飲まれる。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本願出願人は、わが国の一般家庭に、カレーなど香辛味の強い料理の食中/食後に適した飲料を提供することをコンセプトとして、その開発に着手した。しかし、その開発を進める中で、非特許文献1に記載のラッシィは、インド料理の専門店で提供されるカレーなどには適しているものの、わが国の一般家庭向けに広く提供されているカレーなどには適していないことが判明した。すなわち、わが国で一般の家庭向けに製造販売されているカレー製品などは、大人から子供を含めて、わが国の一般の家庭の嗜好に合致するように味や物性が調整されている。具体的には、例えばカレーの場合、インドやネパールのカレーは、小麦粉が使用されておらずとろみ(粘性)が殆どないため、カレーの香辛味がストレートに味覚に伝わり非常に辛く感じられる。これに対して、わが国におけるカレーは、小麦粉が使用されとろみ(粘性)が付与されているため、カレーの香辛味は比較的柔らかく味覚に伝わる。また、後者のカレーは、前者のカレーと比較して、香辛料の配合自体少ないものが多く、その他成分の配合も大きく異なる。そのため、非特許文献1に記載のラッシィは、インドなどで食されているカレーには適していたが、わが国の一般家庭で広く食されているカレーの食中/食後に飲むと、独特のねっとりとした粘性が口の中に残るように感じられ、後味をすっきりとさせることができなかった。
【0011】
本発明の目的は、わが国の一般の家庭に向けて、典型的にはカレーの食中/食後に適した飲料を提供するものであり、カレーなど香辛味の強い食品を食したときに口の中に残る香辛味を和らげて後味をすっきりとさせることのできる乳風味酸性飲料を提供することにある。
また、本発明の更なる目的は、上記の目的に加えて、牛乳を混合するだけで、上記の乳風味酸性飲料を簡単に作ることのできる素材を提供することにある。
【0012】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明、はつ酵乳及び/又は乳酸菌飲料と、酸味料と、糖類及び/又は甘味料と、増粘剤とを含み、かつ、特定量の牛乳を添加混合することによって、特定の酸度及び粘度を有する乳風味酸性飲料が得られる素材を提供することにより、上記の課題を解決できるとの知見に基づくものである。
【0013】
すなわち、本発明は、牛乳を混合することにより乳風味酸性飲料を得るための素材であって、はつ酵乳及び/又は乳酸菌飲料と、酸味料と、糖類及び/又は甘味料と、増粘剤とを含み、かつ、乳風味酸性飲料全体に対して60〜85質量%となる量の牛乳を添加混合することによって、酸度が0.40〜0.75質量%、10℃における粘度が50〜300mPa・sの乳風味酸性飲料を得ることができることを特徴とする上記素材を提供する。
また、本発明は、牛乳と、はつ酵乳及び/又は乳酸菌飲料と、酸味料と、糖類及び/又は甘味料と、増粘剤とを含む乳風味酸性飲料であって、牛乳の含有量が60〜85質量%であり、酸度が0.40〜0.75質量%、10℃における粘度が50〜300mPa・sであることを特徴とする乳風味酸性飲料を提供する。
【0014】
【発明の実施の形態】
先ず、本発明においては、牛乳を混合することにより乳風味酸性飲料を得るための素材を提供する。ここで、牛乳とは、厚生労働省の「乳及び乳製品の成分規格等に関する省令」(以下、乳等省令という。)にいう「牛乳」のことであり、「直接飲用に供する目的で販売(不特定又は多数の者に対する販売以外の授与を含む。)する牛の乳」のことである。また、ここで、乳風味酸性飲料は、具体的には、pHが3.8〜5.0、より好ましくは4.0〜4.8程度の酸性を有する。
【0015】
本発明の素材は、はつ酵乳及び/又は乳酸菌飲料と、酸味料と、糖類及び/又は甘味料と、増粘剤とを含み、乳風味酸性飲料全体に対して60〜85質量%、より好ましくは65〜85質量%、更に好ましくは70〜80質量%となる量の牛乳を添加混合することによって、酸度が0.40〜0.75質量%、より好ましくは0.45〜0.75質量%、更に好ましくは0.50〜0.70質量%であり、また、10℃における粘度が50〜300mPa・s、より好ましくは70〜200mPa・s、更に好ましくは80〜140mPa・sの乳風味酸性飲料を得ることができることを特徴としている。また、ここで得られる乳風味酸性飲料は、糖分が3.0〜20.0質量%、より好ましくは10.0〜20.0質量%、更に好ましくは13.0〜18.0質量%とであるのがよい。
【0016】
この乳風味酸性飲料は、牛乳及びはつ発酵乳等に由来する乳風味とともに、特有の酸味、甘味及び粘度のバランスによって、カレーなど香辛味の強い食品を食したときに口の中に残る香辛味を和らげ、後味をすっきりとさせることができる。また、この乳風味酸性飲料は、特に、わが国において一般の家庭向けに広く製造販売されているカレー製品などに適している。すなわち、この乳風味酸性飲料は、舌触りと喉越しが滑らかで適度な粘度を有し飲むと口の中に適度に止まりつつ、爽快な酸味と適度な甘味がカレーの香辛味と馴染みながら、この香辛味を和らげ、その後は速やかに喉の奥に通り過ぎて後味をすっきりとさせることができる。
【0017】
尚、乳風味酸性飲料の酸度が上記範囲を上回ると、甘味が感じられず酸味だけが際立って香辛味との馴染みが悪くなり、反対に上記範囲を下回ると、甘味がくどく感じられるようになってカレー製品などに適さなくなる。また、乳風味酸性飲料の粘度が上記範囲を下回ると、飲んでも直ぐに喉の奥に通り過ぎて香辛味を和らげることができなくなり、反対に上記範囲を上回ると、舌触りと喉越しが悪くなる。
【0018】
尚、ここで、「酸度」は、乳酸としての酸度を測定した値である。また、「粘度」は、B型粘度計によって測定した値である。また、「糖分」は、乳等省令の「乳製品の糖分の定量法」に準じて測定した値である。
【0019】
本発明の素材に含ませるはつ酵乳及び/又は乳酸菌飲料は、乳風味酸性飲料に対し、はつ酵乳等に特有の呈味を付与する。ここで、はつ酵乳とは、乳等省令にいう「はつ酵乳」のことであり、「乳又はこれと同等以上の無脂乳固形分を含む乳等を乳酸菌又は酵母ではっ酵させ、糊状又は液状にしたもの又はこれらを凍結したもの」をいう。また、乳酸菌飲料とは、乳等省令にいう「乳酸菌飲料」のことであり、「乳等を乳酸菌又は酵母ではつ酵させたものを加工し、又は主要原料とした飲料(はつ酵乳を除く。)」をいう。
【0020】
素材に含ませるはつ酵乳及び/又は乳酸菌飲料の量は、乳風味酸性飲料に対し、はつ酵乳等に特有の呈味を好適に付与する上で、乳風味酸性飲料全体に対して0.3〜20.0質量%、より好ましくは0.3〜15.0質量%となる量であるのがよい。この素材には、はつ酵乳及び乳酸菌飲料のいずれか一方を上記割合となる量で含ませればよく、また、両方を含ませる場合には、両方を合わせて上記割合となる量で含ませればよい。
【0021】
また、本発明の素材には、特定量の牛乳を添加混合することによって、上記酸度を有する乳風味酸性飲料が得られるように、はつ酵乳及び/又は乳酸菌飲料と共に酸味料を含ませる。この酸味料としては、具体的には、例えば、乳酸、クエン酸、リンゴ酸、酒石酸、グルコン酸、コハク酸等が挙げられる。これらの中でも、乳風味酸性飲料に乳味を付与することができるので、乳酸を含ませるのがよい。素材に含ませる酸味料の量は、乳風味酸性飲料の酸度を上記範囲に調整する上で、乳風味酸性飲料全体に対して0.30〜1.00質量%、より好ましくは0.40〜0.80質量%となる量であるのがよい。
【0022】
また、本発明の素材には、糖類及び/又は甘味料を含ませるが、ここで、糖類としては、具体的には、例えば、蔗糖、果糖、ブドウ糖、蜂蜜等が挙げられる。また、これらの糖類に加えて又はこれらの糖類に代えて含ませることができる甘味料としては、アスパルテーム、ステビア、スクラロース等が挙げられる。素材に含ませる糖類の量は、乳風味酸性飲料の糖分を上記範囲に調整する上で、乳風味酸性飲料全体に対して4.5〜20.0質量%、より好ましくは10.0〜20.0質量%となる量であるのがよい。
【0023】
更に、本発明の素材には、特定量の牛乳を添加混合することによって、上記粘度を有する乳風味酸性飲料が得られるように、増粘剤を含ませる。この増粘剤としては、特に、酸性下において乳蛋白質の凝集を防止しつつ乳風味酸性飲料を舌触りと喉越の良い粘度に調整し得ることから、ハイメトキシルペクチン(HMペクチン)を含ませるのがよい。また、素材には、増粘剤としてHMペクチンだけを含ませてもよいが、乳風味酸性飲料の舌触りと喉越しを更に改善する上で、HMペクチンと共に更に他の増粘剤を含ませることもできる。ここで、他の増粘剤としては、例えば、タマリンドシードガム、ローカストビーンガム、キサンタンガム、グアガム、タラガム、アラビアガム、カラギナン等が挙げられる。
【0024】
増粘剤は、上述した特定粘度の乳風味酸性飲料が得られるように、その種類及び含有量を適宜調整すればよいが、例えば、HMペクチンの場合には、乳風味酸性飲料全体に対して0.1〜0.8質量%、より好ましくは0.2〜0.6質量%となる量を含ませるのがよい。また、HMペクチンに加えて更に他の増粘剤を含ませる場合、他の増粘剤の量は、乳風味酸性飲料全体に対して0.001〜0.2質量%、より好ましくは0.01〜0.1質量%となる量であるのがよい。
【0025】
本発明の素材には、上記成分の他にも、果汁や果肉、香料、食塩、クエン酸三ナトリウム等のpH調整剤、水等を適宜含ませることができる。この素材は、以上のような成分を含ませ、粉末状、ペースト状又は液状などの各種形態に調製することができるが、牛乳を混合しやすいという観点から、ペースト状又は液状の形態であるよく、より好ましくは、25℃における粘度が50〜800mPa・s、更に好ましくは80〜400mPa・sを有するペースト状又は液状の形態であるのがよい。
【0026】
本発明によれば、この素材を提供することにより、一般の家庭で上記量の牛乳を添加混合することによって乳風味酸性飲料を簡単に作ることができ、カレーなどの食中/食後に適した飲料を提供することができる。尚、ここで、素材に添加混合する牛乳の量は、例えば、製品パッケージに表記すればよい。また、素材を提供する場合には、例えば、当該素材を加熱殺菌してパウチなどにホットパック充填して密封するか、又は当該素材をパウチなどに充填密封してから加熱殺菌して、更に紙カルトンに収納するなどして製品として市場に供することができる。
【0027】
また、本発明によれば、この素材を構成する成分に予め上記量の牛乳を添加混合して乳風味酸性飲料の形態として提供することもできる。この場合には、例えば、乳風味酸性飲料は、加熱殺菌して、紙パックに無菌充填するなどして製品として市場に供することができる。そして、この乳風味酸性飲料は、そのままグラスに注ぐなどして飲むことができる。

[Industrial application fields]
The present invention relates to a raw material for obtaining a milk flavor acidic beverage by mixing milk flavor acidic beverage and milk.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Many proposals have been made regarding acidic milk beverages. For example, Patent Literature 1 proposes an acidic protein food that can simultaneously improve protein stability and improve texture by reducing viscosity under acidic conditions. Specifically, this acidic protein food contains 0.5% or more of low molecular weight pectin, has a pH in the range of 4.1 to 5.0, and has a viscosity of 10 mPa · s or less at 25 ° C. The beverage.
[0003]
Patent Document 2 proposes an acidic protein food with a low viscosity and a refreshing texture that prevents defects such as aggregation, precipitation, and phase separation of protein particles. That is, Patent Document 2 proposes an acidic protein food characterized by containing sugar beet-derived pectin. Patent Document 2 discloses a drinking yogurt having a viscosity of 10 mPa · s or less as an example of the acidic protein food.
[0004]
Patent Document 3 proposes a method for producing a stable and pasty acidic milk beverage that does not produce a supernatant or precipitate even after heat sterilization. That is, Patent Document 3 proposes a method for producing an acidic milk beverage characterized by using pectin and gum arabic in combination as stabilizers when producing an acidic milk beverage. Patent Document 3 discloses a low-viscosity lactic acid bacteria beverage having a viscosity of 15 to 18 cp as an example of this acidic milk beverage.
[0005]
Patent Document 4 proposes an acidic milk beverage stabilizing composition and an acidic milk beverage that can improve the stabilization and lower the viscosity of the acidic milk beverage. That is, Patent Document 4 discloses an acidic milk beverage stabilizing composition obtained by mixing a low molecular weight pectin obtained by acting a pectin-degrading enzyme and a pectin not subjected to enzymatic degradation, and acidic milk containing this composition. Proposing beverages. Patent Document 4 discloses an acidic milk beverage having a viscosity lower than 10 cp as an example of the acidic milk beverage.
[0006]
Thus, many proposals have been made regarding acidic milk beverages. However, the beverage disclosed in Patent Document 1 contains milk but does not contain fermented milk or lactic acid bacteria beverages. On the other hand, Patent Documents 2 to 4 disclose acidic milk drinks containing fermented milk or lactic acid bacteria drinks, but these drinks do not contain milk. Therefore, Patent Documents 1 to 4 do not disclose anything including milk and fermented milk and / or lactic acid bacteria beverages. The beverages disclosed in Patent Documents 1 to 4 are all characterized by low viscosity.
[0007]
On the other hand, patent document 5 has proposed the manufacturing method of the acidic gel-like foodstuff containing a protein substance. Patent Document 5 discloses that an acidic gel-like food can be obtained immediately by mixing a syrup prepared by stirring and dissolving sugar, low methoxyl pectin, citric acid, orange juice, sodium metaphosphate and water with milk. Propose that. However, Patent Document 5 discloses a gel food, not a beverage. Moreover, this gel food does not contain at least one of fermented milk and lactic acid bacteria beverages.
[0008]
By the way, in India and Nepal, there is a drink called “Lassi” which is made by mixing yogurt (fermented milk) with water, milk, sugar, etc. For example, in Non-Patent Document 1, 2 cups of plain yogurt, 2 cups of water and sugar (preferred amount) are put in a mixer and mixed for a few minutes. Then, add 2-3 drops of rose water and mix for another moment. Lassi "is described. This lassi is also offered in Indian and Nepalese specialty stores in Japan, and its unique taste and viscosity relieve the spicy taste that remains in the mouth when eating curry etc., and refresh the aftertaste Because it can be used, it is preferred to drink during / after meals of spicy dishes such as curry.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The applicant of the present application has started the development based on the concept of providing a drink suitable for in-and-after meals of a spicy dish such as curry to a general household in Japan. However, while proceeding with its development, the lassi described in Non-Patent Document 1 is suitable for curry provided at specialty stores in Indian cuisine, but it is widely provided for ordinary households in Japan. Turned out not to be suitable. That is, curry products manufactured and sold for general households in Japan are adjusted in taste and physical properties so as to match the general household preferences of Japan, including adults and children. Specifically, in the case of curry, for example, Indian and Nepalese curry does not use flour and has almost no thickness (viscosity), so the spicy taste of curry is transmitted straight to the taste and feels very hot. On the other hand, curry in Japan uses flour and is provided with thickness (viscosity), so the spicy taste of curry is relatively soft and transmitted to the taste. In addition, the latter curry is often less spice than the former curry, and the composition of the other ingredients is also greatly different. For this reason, Lassi described in Non-Patent Document 1 was suitable for curry eaten in India, etc., but when it is taken during / after meals of curry that is widely eaten in ordinary households in Japan, it has a unique stickiness. It was felt that the viscosity was left in the mouth, and the aftertaste could not be refreshed.
[0011]
The object of the present invention is to provide beverages suitable for in-home / after-curry curry for general households in Japan, and when mouthful foods such as curry are eaten. An object of the present invention is to provide a milk-flavored acidic beverage capable of relieving the spicy taste remaining therein and making the aftertaste clear.
In addition to the above object, a further object of the present invention is to provide a material that can easily produce the above-mentioned milk flavor acidic beverage simply by mixing milk.
[0012]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention includes fermented milk and / or lactic acid bacteria beverages, acidulants, sugars and / or sweeteners, thickeners, and a specific amount of milk by adding and mixing a specific amount of milk. It is based on the knowledge that said subject can be solved by providing the raw material from which the milk-flavored acidic drink which has this is obtained.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
First, in this invention, the raw material for obtaining a milk flavor acidic drink is provided by mixing milk. The term “milk” refers to “milk” as defined in the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare “Ministerial Ordinance Concerning Component Standards for Milk and Dairy Products” (hereinafter referred to as the Ordinance of Milk etc.). (Including non-sales or awards other than sales to a large number of people)). Moreover, here, the milk flavor acidic beverage has an acidity with a pH of 3.8 to 5.0, more preferably about 4.0 to 4.8.
[0015]
The material of the present invention includes fermented milk and / or lactic acid bacteria beverages, acidulants, sugars and / or sweeteners, and thickeners, and is 60 to 85% by mass based on the total milk flavored acidic beverage. Preferably, the acidity is 0.40 to 0.75 mass%, more preferably 0.45 to 0.75 by adding and mixing milk in an amount of 65 to 85 mass%, more preferably 70 to 80 mass%. Milk having a mass%, more preferably 0.50 to 0.70 mass%, and a viscosity at 10 ° C. of 50 to 300 mPa · s, more preferably 70 to 200 mPa · s, still more preferably 80 to 140 mPa · s. It is characterized in that a flavored acidic beverage can be obtained.

[0016]
This milk flavored acidic beverage has a milk flavor derived from milk, fermented milk, etc., and a flavor that remains in the mouth when eating a spicy food such as curry due to its unique sourness, sweetness and viscosity balance. It can relieve the pungent taste and refresh the aftertaste. In addition, this milk flavor acidic beverage is particularly suitable for curry products that are widely manufactured and sold for general households in Japan. In other words, this milk-flavored acidic beverage has a smooth texture and smoothness over the throat, and when it drinks, it stays in the mouth moderately, while refreshing acidity and moderate sweetness are familiar with the spicy taste of curry, You can soften the spicy taste and then quickly pass through the back of your throat to refresh the aftertaste.
[0017]
If the acidity of the milk flavored acidic beverage exceeds the above range, the sweetness is not felt and only the sourness stands out, and the familiarity with the spicy taste deteriorates.On the other hand, when the acidity falls below the above range, the sweetness is felt drunk. It becomes unsuitable for curry products. In addition, if the viscosity of the milk flavor acidic beverage is below the above range, it will not be possible to relieve the spicy taste immediately after drinking, and conversely if it exceeds the above range, the touch and the throat will deteriorate.
[0018]
Here, “acidity” is a value obtained by measuring acidity as lactic acid. The “viscosity” is a value measured with a B-type viscometer. The “sugar content” is a value measured according to the “Method for quantifying the sugar content of dairy products” in the ordinance of milk and the like.
[0019]
The fermented milk and / or lactic acid bacteria beverage to be included in the material of the present invention imparts a peculiar taste to fermented milk and the like to the milk flavor acidic beverage. Here, fermented milk refers to “fermented milk” as referred to in the Ministerial Ordinance of Milk, etc., “fermenting milk or milk containing non-fat milk solid content equal to or higher than this with lactic acid bacteria or yeast, and paste It is said to be in the form of liquid or liquid, or frozen thereof. The lactic acid bacteria beverage is a “lactic acid bacteria beverage” as referred to in a ministerial ordinance such as milk. “A beverage obtained by processing or fermenting milk or the like with lactic acid bacteria or yeast, or a main ingredient (excluding fermented milk) .) ”.
[0020]
The amount of the fermented milk and / or lactic acid bacteria beverage to be included in the material is preferably set to be 0. 0 with respect to the whole milk flavored acidic beverage in order to suitably impart a characteristic taste to the fermented milk and the like to the milk flavored acidic beverage. The amount is 3 to 20.0% by mass, more preferably 0.3 to 15.0% by mass. In this material, either fermented milk or lactic acid bacteria beverages may be included in an amount that achieves the above ratio, and if both are included, if both are included in an amount that corresponds to the above ratio, Good.

Moreover, aspartame, stevia, sucralose etc. are mentioned as a sweetener which can be contained in addition to these saccharides or replacing with these saccharides. The amount of saccharide contained in the material is 4.5 to 20.0% by mass, more preferably 10.0 to 20%, based on the whole milk flavored acidic beverage, in order to adjust the sugar content of the milk flavored acidic beverage to the above range. The amount should be 0.0% by mass.
[0023]
Furthermore, a thickener is included in the raw material of the present invention so that a milk flavor acidic beverage having the above viscosity can be obtained by adding and mixing a specific amount of milk. As this thickener, high-methoxyl pectin (HM pectin) is included because it can adjust the milk-flavored acidic beverage to have a good touch and throat viscosity while preventing aggregation of milk protein under acidic conditions. Is good. In addition, the material may contain only HM pectin as a thickener, but in order to further improve the touch and throat over milk flavored acidic beverages, it should contain other thickeners together with HM pectin. You can also. Here, examples of other thickeners include tamarind seed gum, locust bean gum, xanthan gum, guar gum, tara gum, gum arabic, and carrageenan.
[0024]
The thickener may be appropriately adjusted in kind and content so that the milk-flavored acidic beverage having the specific viscosity described above is obtained.

(2) Milk-flavored acidic beverage A milk-flavored acidic beverage was prepared by adding 150 ml of cold milk to 50 g of the above material and stirring with a spoon for 20 seconds. This milk flavored acidic beverage had a pH of 4.3, an acidity of 0.56% by mass, a sugar content of 14.0% by mass, and a viscosity at 10 ° C. of 100 mPa · s (rotor M2, rotation speed: 60 rpm). .
[0030]
Comparative Test (1) Comparative Example In addition to the milk flavor acidic beverage of Example 1, the following Comparative Examples 1 to 3 were prepared.
(Comparative Example 1)
A commercial drinking yogurt was prepared as Comparative Example 1.
(Comparative Example 2)
A lassi described on page 105 of Non-Patent Document 1 was prepared and prepared as Comparative Example 2.
(Comparative Example 3)
A raw material was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1 except that lactic acid (50% solution) was changed to 2.0 parts by mass instead of 4.0 parts by mass, and this was used as in Example 1. A milk flavor acidic beverage was prepared and prepared as Comparative Example 3.

[0032]
(2) Comparative evaluation The curry roux product manufactured and sold by the applicant of the present application (product name: kokumaro curry) is made and actually eaten, and then the milk flavored acidic beverages of Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 are used. We evaluated whether the curry spice remaining in the mouth can be softened and the aftertaste can be refreshed.
[0033]
As a result, only the milk flavor acidic beverage of Example 1 was able to moderate the spicy taste of the curry remaining in the mouth and make the aftertaste clear. That is, the milk-flavored acidic beverage of Example 1 moderately stops in the mouth when drunk by its viscosity, while the refreshing acidity and moderate sweetness are familiar with the spicy taste of curry, Was able to quickly pass into the back of his throat and clean up the aftertaste.
[0034]
On the other hand, in Comparative Example 1, since the viscosity was low, it passed immediately into the back of the throat without stopping in the mouth even if it was drunk. In addition, the sweetness was weak and the acidity was conspicuous, and the curry was not familiar with the spicy taste, so it was not a beverage suitable for curry. On the other hand, in Comparative Example 2, although the spicy taste of curry could be eased, it remained so as to cling to the mouth with a unique, sticky viscosity, and the aftertaste could not be refreshed. Moreover, since the comparative example 3 had weak acidity, sweet taste was felt and was not a drink suitable after the curry meal.
[0035]
Example 2
(1) Material Based on the following blending ratio, a material for obtaining a milk flavor acidic beverage was prepared by mixing with milk. That is, first, HM pectin and granulated sugar were mixed with powder. Next, water, lactic acid bacteria beverage, lactic acid and mango puree were added and mixed with this, 50 g each was filled and sealed in a pouch, sterilized with hot water at 90 ° C. for 10 minutes, and then cooled to prepare a material. This material was in the form of a paste having a viscosity at 25 ° C. of 350 mPa · s (rotor M2, rotation speed: 60 rpm).
(Mixing ratio)
HM pectin 1.0 part by weight granulated sugar 35.0 parts by weight water 42.0 parts by weight lactic acid bacteria beverage 8.0 parts by weight mango puree 10.0 parts by weight lactic acid (50% solution) 4.0 parts by weight
(2) Milk-flavored acidic beverage A milk-flavored acidic beverage was prepared by adding 150 ml of cold milk to 50 g of the above material and stirring with a spoon for 20 seconds. The milk-flavored acidic beverage had an acidity of 0.56% by mass, a sugar content of 14.0% by mass, and a viscosity at 10 ° C. of 100 mPa · s (rotor M2, rotation speed: 60 rpm).
This milk-flavored acidic beverage takes advantage of the mango juice and milk flavor, and if you drink it after eating curry, the refreshing acidity and moderate sweetness will soften the curry's spicy taste, and then quickly pass into the back of your throat. The aftertaste was made clear.
