Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a soft drink containing a predetermined amount of clean deep sea water as a mineral source and a method for producing the same.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, many kinds of soft drinks have been marketed, but the taste of consumers has recently changed from colored drinks such as cola to transparent drinks such as sports drinks. What is this sports drink?
It is a drink unique to Japan, also called “ion supply drink”, and its main purpose is to effectively replenish water and replenish electrolytes, especially after sports. This drink is characterized by being a non-colored beverage with low sugar content.

The above-mentioned cola is obtained by dissolving raw material powder in purified water and diluting it with carbonated water, and sports drinks are also produced by subjecting purified water to chemical treatment or natural mineral water as a raw material and using this material as a fruit juice. It is manufactured by adding sugar, sugar, vitamins and synthetic flavors.

[0004]

However, such conventional soft drinks and sports drinks do not contain all the natural trace elements (minerals) required by the human body, and are therefore suitable for health drinks. The situation is that we are not always satisfied with what we have achieved. Especially in recent years, the importance of naturally occurring trace elements has been reviewed. Further, purified salt is usually added as an essential salt to the human body, but natural salt collected from seawater contains more trace elements than such purified salt, and it is excellent as a salt to be added to beverages. However, surface water in seawater cannot be used for drinking in the present age where ocean pollution has advanced.

Therefore, the present invention solves the problems that such conventional soft drinks and sports drinks have.
The purpose of the present invention is to obtain a healthy beverage containing deep seawater that is clean and contains many natural trace elements (minerals).

[0006]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention has a basic constitution of a soft drink made from a liquid prepared by mixing ordinary drinking water with deep sea water at a predetermined mixing ratio, As a mixing ratio, deep sea water is 1 to 20% by weight, raw fruit juice is 0 to 5% by weight, sugar raw material is 6 to 10% by weight, auxiliary raw material is 0 to 0.2% by weight, and the balance is drinking water. Providing soft drinks made up of proportions.

As a more specific manufacturing method, ordinary drinking water and deep sea water are separately filtered and then mixed at a predetermined mixing ratio, and the mixture is stirred and mixed in a mixing tank before being mixed with a predetermined mixture. Depending on the method of heating to temperature for deaeration and sterilization, and depending on the product, sugar raw materials, fruit juice raw materials, and auxiliary raw materials such as vitamins are added, filled into a cleaned container, and then heated again to remove. A manufacturing method that uses air and sterilization is the means for achieving this.

[0008]

According to the soft drink and the method for producing the same, the trace elements contained in the deep sea water in a well-balanced manner are effectively utilized, and all the trace elements and natural substances required by the human body are contained in the obtained beverage. Since it contains salt, a drink that is sufficiently satisfactory for health drinks can be obtained. Further, by adding a sugar raw material, a fruit juice raw material, and an auxiliary raw material such as vitamins to the beverage, a soft drink having an appropriate saltiness, sweetness and fruit juice flavor can be obtained.

[0009]

EXAMPLE An example of a soft drink using deep sea water and a method for producing the same according to the present invention will be described below. That is,
The present embodiment is characterized in that a liquid obtained by mixing normal deep-sea water with a predetermined deep water content is used as a raw material.

Ordinary drinking water refers to water suitable for drinking which complies with the water quality standards of the Water Supply Act, and in this embodiment, this drinking water is filtered with a strainer. Similarly, prepare deep sea water that has been filtered by a strainer and put it in a mixing tank together with the above-mentioned drinking water according to a preset mixing ratio. As described in detail below, sugar, fruit juice, vitamin C, etc. It is manufactured by stirring and mixing with the auxiliary raw materials.

The above-mentioned deep sea water is clean sea water taken from a deep sea of 200 meters or more below the sea level, and the deep sea water and the above drinking water are mixed depending on the mixing ratio determined according to the type of product. To produce a mixed solution. FIG. 1 is a chart showing an example of steps of a method for producing a soft drink to which the present embodiment is applied. First, in step 1, drinking water that meets normal water quality standards is prepared, and in step 2, filtration by a strainer is performed. In parallel with this, deep ocean water is prepared in step 3 and similarly filtered by a strainer in step 4.

Next, in step 5, the drinking water and the deep sea water are blended in a predetermined blending ratio, which is put into a blending tank and sufficiently stirred and mixed. This mixed solution is heated to a predetermined temperature, for example, about 70 ° C. in step 6, sugar ingredients such as honey are added in step 7, raw material juice such as yuzu fruit juice is added in step 8, and then step 9 is further performed. Then, an auxiliary material such as vitamin C is added, and the mixture is stirred again in step 10 to obtain a homogenized beverage.

On the other hand, a bottle as a container which has been cleaned by the washing bottle and the warm bottle process in steps 11 and 12 is prepared, and in step 13, the homogenized beverage is filled in the bottle using a filling machine. Then, in step 14, deaeration and sterilization are performed at about 80 ° C. for 30 minutes, and in step 15, the cap is capped and tumbled. Then, in step 16, it is immersed in cooling water and cooled.
Next, in step 17, the bottle is inspected, the presence or absence of foreign matter is mixed, and the appearance is inspected. In step 18, the labeling process is performed by the labeler in step 18, and then the packaging process is performed in step 19 to complete the product.

The above-mentioned production process is changed depending on the kind and properties of the fruit juice to be added, the addition ratio, the kind of auxiliary raw material, the required quality standard of the product or the difference in the container, and further, the sweetener, the acidulant and the like. A step of adding a subsidiary material may be added. In addition, even in the same process, the operating method and conditions may be different. Furthermore, natural mineral water can be used as drinking water.

The mixing ratio of the drinking water and the deep sea water varies depending on the kind of the product.
It is preferable that the compounding amount be 20% by weight.
Table 1 discloses four formulation examples that are considered suitable.

[0016]

[Table 1]

From Table 1, the blending ratio as a soft drink according to this example is 1 to 20% by weight of deep sea water, 0 to 5% of raw fruit juice, 6 to 10% of sugar raw material, and auxiliary raw materials. Is 0
0.2%, the rest is drinking water. The proportion of sports drink as a prototype is about 5% deep sea water, about 5% yuzu juice, about 10% honey as a sweetener.
Vitamin C was about 0.2% and the balance was mineral water (Shimanto River source water). As a result, a soft drink having a unique flavor with moderate saltiness and sweetness of yuzu juice was obtained.

The deep sea water adopted in this embodiment will be described below. In other words, this deep sea water is seawater in an environment where convection and mixing due to changes in surface temperature such as wind waves and surface temperature that are usually seen in the surface layer of the ocean do not occur. Not affected by marine pollution due to the harmful substances in Moreover, it has the characteristics that the dissolved organic matter in seawater is very small and it is extremely clean from a microbial perspective. The water temperature is as low as 10 degrees Celsius or less on average annually, and it contains many natural elements required by the human body. This deep sea water is currently practically used only in three locations around the world, "off Norway", "off Hawaii", and "off Muroto Cape in Kochi Prefecture".
The deep sea water used in this example was taken from a point at a depth of 320 meters off Cape Muroto.

The depth of 320 meters off the coast of Cape Muroto is a water temperature of 9 ° C, a salinity of 3.43%, and a DO (dissolved oxygen) of 4.4pp.
It has been confirmed that the environment is relatively stable around m. Of the three types of nitrogen contained in the deep water that was taken, ammonia nitrogen and nitrite nitrogen were very small and had little effect on living organisms. As the water depth increases, the concentration increases, and 95% or more of the inorganic dissolved nitrogen in water at a water depth of 200 meters or less exists in 24 μM as nitrate nitrogen. In addition, 1.7 μM of phosphoric acid phosphorus and 41 μM of silicic acid silicon are dissolved, and each has a nutrient concentration of 5 to 10 times or more that of the surface layer portion.

As a method of utilizing such deep sea water, the deep sea water is utilized for tourism purposes such as hot springs and pools, and focusing on its low temperature, industrial use such as cooling and temperature difference power generation, and further Attempts have been made to use it for fisheries purposes such as fish, seaweed, coral cultivation, and plankton cultivation.

Natural elements contained in the deep sea water and essential for the growth of the living body include Fe (iron), I (iodine), and Cu.
(Copper), Mn (manganese), Zn (zinc), Co (cobalt), Mo (molybdenum), Se (selenium), Cr
(Chromium), Sn (tin), V (vanadium), F (fluorine), Si (silicon), Ni (nickel), As (arsenic) are 15 elements, and these elements are all well balanced in deep sea water. The main feature is that it is included. Therefore, it can be said that deep sea water has great potential for the growth and growth of marine life. Such potential has been proved from the fact that it has been used in aquaculture experiments on red sea bream, kelp, deep-sea coral, etc. in recent years and has produced great results. In particular, it is reported that the deep sea water off the coast of Norway is called fjord deep water and is suitable for salmon aquaculture.

The number of viable bacteria in the deep sea water is one digit or more smaller than that in the surface water, and since it contains almost no pathogenic organisms, it is related to diseases caused by fish disease fungi derived from seawater. There is no fear of it, and it has the great feature that it is extremely safe when used in beverages. The present invention provides a beverage having a characteristic that cannot be realized by a conventional soft drink that promotes the growth of the living body by incorporating the natural element contained in such deep sea water into drinking water. It is the main point.

Next, Table 2 shows the results of measuring the water quality of deep sea water taken off Cape Muroto and ordinary surface water.

[0024]

[Table 2]

As shown in Table 2, deep sea water has a lower temperature than ordinary surface water, and DO (dissolved oxygen) is low, but nitrate nitrogen (NO ₃ -N) or phosphate phosphorus (PO) is used. _Four
On -P) and the content of various nutrients such as silicate state silicon (SiO ₂ -Si) is that larger, the number of viable cells is smaller by one digit or more reversed.

Next, Table 3 shows the results of comparing the raw materials of the soft drink to which this example was applied and various sports drinks already on the market, and Table 4 shows the soft drink A to which this example was applied, The result of having analyzed the component of B and C and various commercially available sports drinks is shown.

[0027]

[Table 3]

[0028]

[Table 4] As shown in Table 4, the soft drinks A, B, and
Regarding the taste of C, the yuzu juice was matched to the appropriate saltiness and sweetness, and comparing the tastes alone, a product comparable to various commercially available sports drinks was obtained.

[0029]

Industrial Applicability As described in detail above, the soft drink according to the present invention can effectively utilize the trace elements contained in the deep sea water in a well-balanced manner. As described above, it is possible to provide a health drink containing all trace elements and natural salts necessary for the growth of the human body, in addition to simply supplying water or replenishing electrolytes after sports. Further, by adding a sugar raw material, a fruit juice raw material, and an auxiliary raw material such as vitamins to the beverage, it is possible to obtain a soft drink having an appropriate saltiness, sweetness and flavor of fruit juice. By using natural mineral water as drinking water, a refreshing taste can be enhanced.

Therefore, according to the present invention, it has a taste comparable to that of conventional soft drinks such as cola, isotonic drinks, and ion-supplied drinks, and is sufficiently satisfactory as a healthy drink in which trace minerals are well balanced. It becomes possible to provide drinks that can be produced, and the effect of increasing the commercial value of the product is exhibited.
