  The following examples further illustrate the present invention, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[Preparation of beverage 1]
Indigestible dextrin (product name: Fiber Sol 2, manufactured by Matsutani Chemical Co., Ltd.) was dissolved in water at a concentration of 12.5 g / L. Subsequently, carbon dioxide gas was contained by the postmix method, and sealed in a colorless and transparent PET bottle (500 ml) to obtain the container-packed sugar-free carbonated beverages of Examples and Comparative Examples.
Moreover, the gas volume was measured about the obtained drink using gas volume measuring apparatus GVA-500B (Kyoto Electronics Industry Co., Ltd.). The measurement results are shown in Tables 1 and 2.

[Test Example 1]
About the drink of Examples 1-2 obtained by making it above, and Comparative Examples 1-2, evaluation about the strength of the deliciousness and deterioration odor (resin odor, stink bug odor) by five evaluation panels was performed. Tasting samples were provided to the panel at 4 ° C. Each beverage was irradiated (5 million lx · h) with an LED or a fluorescent lamp before being subjected to a sensory test. In addition, a beverage prepared by the same method as in Comparative Example 1 which was not irradiated with the LED and fluorescent lamp was used as a control.
Evaluation was carried out with a 7-point evaluation of 1 to 7 points with a taste of 4 points and a deterioration odor of 1 point for the control beverage (deliciousness: 7 points for the most delicious ones. 7 points were felt)
The results are shown in Tables 1 and 2 and FIGS.

  From the results shown in Tables 1 and 2, it can be understood that the deterioration odor is strongly felt by the LED irradiation, and the taste of the beverage is also reduced. On the other hand, in the beverages of Examples 1 and 2 having a gas volume of 4.0 or more, the deterioration odor caused by the LED irradiation felt when drinking compared to the cases of Comparative Examples 1 and 2 is suppressed. The deliciousness was also maintained.

[Beverage preparation 2]
Indigestible dextrin was dissolved in water at the concentrations shown in Table 4. Subsequently, carbon dioxide gas was contained by the postmix method, and sealed in a colorless and transparent PET bottle (500 ml) to obtain the container-packed sugar-free carbonated beverages of Examples and Comparative Examples.
The gas volume of the obtained beverage was measured. The values are shown in Table 4.

[Test Example 2]
About the beverage of the indigestible dextrin density | concentration shown in Table 4, and the gas volume, evaluation about the strength and deliciousness of aftertaste was performed by five evaluation panels, without performing irradiation by LED illumination.
The evaluation was carried out by a seven-step evaluation of 1 to 7 points, which was 4.0 points for those having an indigestible dextrin concentration of 10 g / L (strength of aftertaste: 7 points having the strongest aftertaste. S: 7 points for the most delicious food.)
The results are shown in Tables 3 and 4. Indigestible dextrin concentration (g / L, X) and gas volume (Y) are shown in FIG.

From Tables 3 and 4 and FIG. 3, the relationship of Y ≧ 0.1867X + 1.0667 and Y ≧ 0.28X−0.8 for the indigestible dextrin concentration (g / L, X) and the gas volume (Y). It can be understood that the beverages of the satisfied examples are improved in taste and further reduced aftertaste strength compared to the beverages of the examples not satisfying the relationship.
In addition, all the panels determined that the thing with the aftertaste intensity | strength larger than 5 points | pieces, or the taste less than 3 points | pieces cannot accept | permit about the point of flavor. As can be understood from FIG. 3, Y ≧ 0.1867X + 1.0667 of the above two relational expressions is derived from whether or not the strength of the aftertaste is 5 points or less, and about Y ≧ 0.28X−0.8. The taste was derived from whether the taste was 3 or more.
