Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain the title high-quality fancy drink having a highly concentrated degree, almost retaining a flavor component by subjecting an extracted solution of fancy drink to reverse osmosis treatment under different pressures to give concentrated solutions and blending the solutions. CONSTITUTION:An extracted solution of fancy drink is subjected to reverse osmosis treatment by a tubular type loose reverse osmosis complex film having 10-70% NaCl rejection (value of treating 0.1-0.2% NaCl aqueous solution under 10-20kgf/cm<2> at 25 deg.C) under 50-120kgf/cm<2>. The prepared reverse osmosis filtrate is subjected to reverse osmosis treatment with a spiral type low-pressure reverse osmosis complex film having 99.0-99.9% NaCl rejection under 30-50kgf/cm<2>, a flavor component is recovered as the concentrated solution and blended with the reverse osmosis filtrate to give the objective fancy drink.
