Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fiber-containing beverage, and more particularly to a fiber-containing beverage that gives a natural texture and a sip of grated apple.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Recently, several types of beverages called pulp-containing beverages or fiber-containing beverages are commercially available. With regard to these fiber-containing beverages, various beverages have been developed in response to the health food boom. As conventional ones, beverages containing fruit fiber, citrus cannabis, flesh cubes, etc. are well known, but these beverages have not left the conventional juice drink range, and are also natural foods of pickled apples. It's not a feeling or a soothing thing.

[0003]

The above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional fiber-containing beverages are that they lack a mouth-feeling texture like that of ground apples, but in order to enhance the palatability of these fiber-containing beverages. By selecting the particle size of pulp and adding viscosity,
Although it is possible to enhance its palatability, the one to which the above-mentioned citrus cane etc. are added is equivalent to a fruit juice drink, and it cannot be said that the palatability is enhanced. That is, in a fruit juice beverage containing citrus sanou, "sanou" and "fruit juice" are separated from each other, and it is difficult to say that the beverage has a sense of unity. In addition, a beverage containing fruits cut into cubes has a large grain size of the pulp, which is irritating to the throat and makes it feel like eating the pulp later, which is far from a sense of unity.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems relating to a fiber-containing beverage, and an object thereof is to enhance the palatability of the fiber-containing beverage and to grate apples with a grater. It is an object of the present invention to provide a fiber-containing beverage that gives a natural texture and soothing taste of apple itself, and has a sense of unity between the additive and the beverage.

[0005]

[Means and Actions for Solving the Problems] The inventors of the present invention have made extensive studies on the solution to the above problems, and found that the fresh fruits obtained during the apple squeezing process have a grated texture. Focusing on the fact that the pulp will have the same, it was found that a drink with a good sensation can be obtained by using this pulp alone or in combination with a thickener if necessary.

The present invention is based on the above findings,
The gist thereof is a fiber-containing beverage characterized by adding apple pulp having a particle size of 150 to 7 mesh to a fruit juice beverage and using it in combination with a thickener as needed.

The pulp used in the present invention is an apple pulp, which is crushed with an ordinary pulp crusher, squeezed with a coarse cloth or a strainer, and the obtained juice is sieved. Is what you get. FIG. 1 shows a detailed process diagram for obtaining this apple pulp. The apple pulp obtained from this step preferably has a particle size of 150 to 7 mesh, more preferably 48 to 16 mesh. A drink to which apple pulp having such a particle size is added has an optimum particle size because it gives a natural texture and a refreshing feeling grated with a grater.

Next, in the present invention, apart from the above-mentioned apple pulp, apples, pears, crushed in the process shown in FIG.
It is possible to jointly use carrots and the like, the grain size of which is adjusted to 150 to 7 mesh. Then, water, transparent fruit juice, sweetener, acid, fragrance, a mixture of the above apple pulp (water content 88 to 89%) or a mixture of apple apple, pear, and carrot (water content 85 to 90%) crushed to this apple pulp is added. The fiber-containing beverage according to the present invention can be obtained by adding a pigment, a thickener and the like.

In the fiber-containing beverage according to the present invention, the content ratio of the above-mentioned apple pulp or this crushed product such as apple pulp and pear should be uniformly dispersed so as to be 5 to 40% by weight based on the whole beverage. Is desirable. Also, the mixing ratio of crushed apple, pear or carrot and apple pulp is
As is clear from Table 3 described later, 60:40 to 0:
It is preferably 100. Then, pectin, xanthan gum, locust bean gum, tamarind, seed polysaccharide, carrageenan and the like can be added for the purpose of improving texture and soothing. The addition amount of these thickeners is 0.5 as shown in Table 7 described later.
It is preferably not more than weight%. The configuration and operation of the present invention will be described in more detail based on the following examples.
