By containing a predetermined amount (1-150 ppb) of thymol, which will be described later, in a carbonated drink having an acetic acid content of 10 to 1000 ppm, the irritation derived from acetic acid felt when drinking is reduced while maintaining the deliciousness. can do. In carbonated drinks with an acetic acid content of less than 10 ppm or carbonated drinks with an acetic acid content of more than 1000 ppm, the effect of reducing irritation derived from acetic acid cannot be obtained (or even if it is obtained) even if it contains 1 to 150 ppb of Timor. It's too small to do).
本実施形態の飲料における酢酸の含有量は、10~1000ppmであれば特に限定されるものではないが、おいしさがより維持されやすく、酢酸由来の刺激がより低減されやすくなる観点からは、50~900ppmであることが好ましく、50~600ppmであることが好ましく、50~200ppmであることがより好ましい。なお、飲料における酢酸の含有量は、例えば高速液体クロマトグラフィー(HPLC)によって測定することができる。 The content of acetic acid in the beverage of the present embodiment is not particularly limited as long as it is 10 to 1000 ppm, but from the viewpoint that the taste is more easily maintained and the irritation derived from acetic acid is more easily reduced, 50 It is preferably about 900 ppm, preferably 50 to 600 ppm, and more preferably 50 to 200 ppm. The content of acetic acid in the beverage can be measured by, for example, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
本実施形態の飲料に含まれる酢酸は、その由来について特に限定されない。酢酸は、例えば、食酢などの酢酸を主成分とした成分が飲料に添加されて含有されるようにしてもよく、また、後述する飲料に味および/または香りを付与する成分などに由来して含有されるようにしてもよい。 The origin of acetic acid contained in the beverage of the present embodiment is not particularly limited. Acetic acid may be contained, for example, by adding a component containing acetic acid as a main component such as vinegar to a beverage, or is derived from a component that imparts a taste and / or aroma to a beverage described later. It may be contained.
なお、本明細書において、酢酸由来の刺激とは、酢酸を含む飲料を飲んだ瞬間に感じる刺激と、酢酸由来の飲んだ後に残る刺激の総称である。また、本明細書において、酢酸由来の刺激の低減とは、酢酸由来の飲んだ瞬間に感じる刺激と酢酸由来の飲んだ後に残る刺激のうち少なくとも一方が低減されることを意味する。また、本明細書において、おいしさの維持とは、チモールを含有しないこと以外は同じ組成の飲料と比較しておいしさが損なわれていないことを意味する。 In the present specification, the stimulus derived from acetic acid is a general term for the stimulus felt at the moment of drinking a beverage containing acetic acid and the stimulus derived from acetic acid that remains after drinking. Further, as used herein, the reduction of acetic acid-derived irritation means that at least one of the acetic acid-derived irritation felt at the moment of drinking and the acetic acid-derived irritation remaining after drinking is reduced. Further, in the present specification, the maintenance of deliciousness means that the deliciousness is not impaired as compared with a beverage having the same composition except that it does not contain thymol.
本実施形態の飲料は、炭酸飲料である。10~1000ppmの酢酸が含まれる飲料が炭酸飲料であることにより、酢酸由来の刺激が増強される(酢酸由来の刺激が強く感じられる)が、本実施形態の飲料は、炭酸によって増強される酢酸由来の刺激を、後述する所定量(1~150ppb)のチモールにより低減する。本実施形態の飲料の炭酸ガスボリューム(ガス圧)は、特に限定されるものではなく、充填され得る容器の材質などを考慮して当業者が適宜設定できるが、おいしさがより維持されやすく、酢酸由来の刺激がより低減されやすくなる観点からは、1.0以上とすることが好ましく、1.0~4.5Volとすることがより好ましく、1.5~4.0Volとすることが特に好ましい。なお、本明細書において炭酸飲料とは、飲料中に二酸化炭素(炭酸ガス)が溶存した飲料をいう。また、本明細書において、炭酸ガスボリューム(ガス圧)とは、1気圧、20℃における容器詰めの炭酸飲料中に溶解している炭酸ガスの容積と飲料の容積比をいう。炭酸ガスボリュームは、試料を20℃とした後、ガス内圧力計を取り付け、一度活栓を開いてガス抜き(スニフト)操作を行い、直ちに活栓を閉じてから激しく振とうし、圧力が一定になった時の値として得ることができる。 The beverage of the present embodiment is a carbonated beverage. When the beverage containing 10 to 1000 ppm of acetic acid is a carbonated drink, the stimulus derived from acetic acid is enhanced (the stimulus derived from acetic acid is strongly felt), but the beverage of the present embodiment has the acetic acid enhanced by carbonic acid. The irritation of origin is reduced by a predetermined amount (1-150 ppb) of Timor, which will be described later. The carbon dioxide gas volume (gas pressure) of the beverage of the present embodiment is not particularly limited and can be appropriately set by those skilled in the art in consideration of the material of the container that can be filled, but the taste is more easily maintained. From the viewpoint that the irritation derived from acetic acid is more likely to be reduced, it is preferably 1.0 or more, more preferably 1.0 to 4.5 Vol, and particularly preferably 1.5 to 4.0 Vol. preferable. In addition, in this specification, a carbonated drink means a drink in which carbon dioxide (carbon dioxide gas) is dissolved in the drink. Further, in the present specification, the carbon dioxide gas volume (gas pressure) means the volume of carbon dioxide gas dissolved in the carbonated drink packed in a container at 1 atm and 20 ° C. and the volume ratio of the drink. For the carbon dioxide volume, after setting the sample to 20 ° C, attach an in-gas pressure gauge, open the stopcock once, perform a degassing (snift) operation, immediately close the stopcock, and shake vigorously to make the pressure constant. It can be obtained as a value at the time.

Thymol is a monoterpene derivative represented by the molecular formula C 10 H 14 O, and is contained in, for example, Garden Thyme and Yuzu. The origin of thymol contained in the beverage of the present embodiment is not particularly limited, and may be thymol from which a natural product has been extracted or thymol synthesized. Further, the thymol contained in the beverage of the present embodiment may be contained in the beverage derived from a component that imparts a taste and / or aroma to the beverage described later.
酢酸の含有量が10~1000ppmである炭酸飲料に、1~150ppbのチモールが含有されることで、おいしさを維持しつつ、飲んだときに感じられる酢酸由来の刺激が低減される。炭酸飲料に含有されるチモールが1ppb未満であると、酢酸由来の刺激の低減効果が得られない。一方、炭酸飲料に含有されるチモールが150ppb超であると、チモールに由来する不快な香り(薬品臭(薬品を想起させるような香り))を感じやすくなり、おいしさを維持することができない。 By containing 1 to 150 ppb of thymol in a carbonated drink having an acetic acid content of 10 to 1000 ppm, the irritation derived from acetic acid felt when drinking is reduced while maintaining the deliciousness. If the amount of thymol contained in the carbonated drink is less than 1 ppb, the effect of reducing irritation derived from acetic acid cannot be obtained. On the other hand, if the amount of thymol contained in the carbonated drink is more than 150 ppb, an unpleasant scent derived from thymol (chemical odor (scent reminiscent of chemicals)) is easily perceived, and the deliciousness cannot be maintained.
本実施形態の飲料におけるチモールの含有量は、1~150ppbであれば特に限定されるものではないが、おいしさがより維持されやすく、酢酸由来の刺激がより低減されやすくなる観点からは、10~150ppbであることが好ましく、50~100ppbであることがより好ましい。 The content of thymol in the beverage of the present embodiment is not particularly limited as long as it is 1 to 150 ppb, but from the viewpoint that the taste is more easily maintained and the irritation derived from acetic acid is more easily reduced, 10 It is preferably ~ 150 ppb, more preferably 50-100 ppb.
なお、チモールの含有量はガスクロマトグラフ質量分析計(GC/MS、アジレント・テクノロジー社製、7890A GC/5975C MSD)を用いた固相マイクロ抽出法(SPME)法により定量することができる。定量には標準添加法を用いる。測定サンプルについて3サンプルずつ準備し、その定量結果の平均値を測定結果とすることができる。準備した測定サンプルを含む20mLバイアル瓶を、60℃で10分間の加熱処理を施した後、当該バイアル瓶の気相部分にSUPELCO社製のSPMEファイバー(DVB/CAR/PDMS)を挿入し、5分間、揮発成分を捕集する。このSPMEファイバーをGC/MSに設置し、300秒間焼成することにより、捕集した揮発成分を脱離することができる。 The content of Timor can be quantified by a solid phase microextraction method (SPME) using a gas chromatograph mass spectrometer (GC / MS, Agilent Technologies, 7890A GC / 5975C MSD). The standard addition method is used for quantification. Three samples can be prepared for each measurement sample, and the average value of the quantitative results can be used as the measurement result. The 20 mL vial containing the prepared measurement sample was heat-treated at 60 ° C. for 10 minutes, and then SPME fiber (DVB / CAR / PDMS) manufactured by SUPELCO was inserted into the gas phase portion of the vial.
