JPH04299965A - Soft drinks frozen in pouring - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain the subject beverages, excellent in taste with relish as a beverage of new design by keeping a beverage below the freezing point in a container, maintaining the beverage in a supercooled state, pouring the resultant beverage into another container and freezing the beverage. CONSTITUTION:The objective beverages are obtained by keeping, e.g. a fruit juice below the freezing point in a container, maintaining the beverage in a supercooled state, pouring the beverage into another container and freezing the beverage into the form of sherbet, etc.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

0001

[Industrial Application Field] The present invention is a new type of soft drink that maintains a liquid state without freezing and becomes sherbet-like by freezing it when poured from a container into a glass etc. Regarding.

0002

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION It is already known to freeze soft drinks, such as fruit juices, in containers for drinking, and is generally known as sherbet. However, soft drinks contain extracts such as sugar and require rapid freezing in order to freeze them homogeneously. Normally, the freezing temperature inside a general commercial or home freezer is approximately -
The temperature is around 20℃, and juices freeze at this temperature. However, because the cooling capacity is low, it does not freeze homogeneously, and the components separate, resulting in the extract being separated into a thick part and a thin part. To prevent this, it is necessary to either quickly freeze the sherbet and then distribute it frozen, or to use a special cooling device for making sherbet, which is very costly.

[0003] In view of such circumstances, the inventors of the present invention have conducted extensive research and found a method to maintain soft drinks in a liquid state without freezing them at sub-zero temperatures, that is, to maintain a supercooled state, and to pour this into a glass or the like. It was discovered that it was possible to freeze the liquid in an instant, thereby creating a new refreshing soft drink.Furthermore, it was discovered that this frozen state was soft and could be consumed immediately, and the book was published. The invention was completed.

0004

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention provides a soft drink that freezes when poured into another container, which is maintained in a supercooled state by being kept at below freezing point in the container. It is.

[0005] The soft drinks themselves of the present invention include, for example,
Known soft drinks obtained by conventional methods such as juices, fruit juices, and sports drinks may be used.

[0006] The present invention makes soft drinks more likely to become supercooled by maintaining them below the freezing point and at a higher temperature than freezing starts, usually -5 to -10°C. It is. i.e. glass, PET, paper,
A soft drink is filled in a sealed container made of raw materials such as aluminum by a known method, and the freezing start temperature of the soft drink is checked in advance. Next, by maintaining the soft drinks in the freezer at a temperature 1 to 5° C. higher than this freezing start temperature, they can be maintained in a liquid state. Further, in order to obtain a supercooled state, a more stable supercooled state can be obtained by cooling slowly, for example, at a cooling temperature of 1 to 5° C./hour, rather than rapidly cooling. Soft drinks in this supercooled state,
By carefully opening the package and slowly pouring it into a pre-chilled glass or a regular glass, it freezes instantly.
It becomes possible to easily obtain homogeneous sherbet-like soft drinks. The soft drinks of the present invention thus obtained can be placed in a refrigerator and distributed.

EXAMPLES Next, the present invention will be explained in more detail with reference to Examples. Example 1 A glass container (180 ml) was filled with a commercially available sports drink. This was cooled in a household freezer. The cooling curve at this time is shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 1, the beverage in the container remains liquid until it reaches point A. At point A the beverage begins to freeze and at point B the initial freezing ends. That is, this point A is the freezing start temperature. At point C, which is close to point A, the container was removed from the freezer, carefully opened, and poured into a pre-chilled glass.The poured beverage froze in the glass, yielding a sherbet-like beverage.

Example 2 A commercially available coffee beverage was filled into an aluminum container (180 ml). This container was stored in a freezer at approximately -10°C. The cooling curve at this time is shown in FIG. When this was opened as in Example 1 and poured into a glass, it froze in the glass, yielding a sherbet-like beverage.

Example 3 A paper pack container (180 ml volume) was filled with an orange juice drink. The cooling curve at this time is shown in FIG. After cooling this container to -7℃ and confirming that it was a liquid, we opened it and poured it into a pre-chilled glass, which caused it to freeze in the glass, yielding a sherbet-like beverage. .

0010

[Effects of the Invention] According to the present invention, a soft drink is obtained which is a liquid before drinking, and when poured into a container at the time of drinking, it freezes to a suitable degree for drinking and can be enjoyed as a new type of beverage. It will be done.
