Description
SAPONIN-CONTAINING, BEER—TASTE BEVERAGES
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present ion relates to a method of whitening the foam of colorant-
containing, beer—taste beverages, as well as beer-taste beverages that contain colorants and
which yet produce white foam.
BACKGROUND ART
Colorants such as caramel colors are commonly used in foods. In some brands of
beer-taste beverages, the percentage of malt use is made lower than in others, so it often
occurs that the characteristic color that should result from the malt is not fully developed. To
deal with this situation, nts are sometimes added to beer~taste beverages.
Y OF INVENTION
TECHNICAL PROBLEM
The present inventor found that beer-taste beverages to which colorants such as
l colors were added produced foam having a characteristic color imparted by the
colorants (ranging from yellow to khaki in the case of caramel colors). Since foam is an
important element ofbeer-taste beverages and ordinary beers develop white foam, this
tendency of the added colorants is not necessarily preferred from the Viewpoint of
appearance.

ADVANTAGEOUS EFFECTS OF INVENTION
In accordance with the present invention, the foam of colorant-containing, beer-taste
beverages can be whitened.
DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENT
(Saponins)
The term "Saponins" is the general term for glycosides that are widely distributed in
plants and which have a sugar side chain bound to a steroid or triterpenoid, and that form a
colloidal aqueous solution having a distinctive foaming quality like soap. ns may be
classified by origin into quillaja n, Anemarrhenae Rhizoma saponin, soybean saponin,
carrot saponin, Platycodi Radix saponin, senega saponin, etc. In the present ion, any of
these saponins may be used either independently or in combination with each other.
Preferably, ja saponin is used either independently or in combination with other
n. Quillaja saponins are commercially available under various trade names such as
QUILLAJANIN C-100 (Maruzen Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd.) The saponins that may be used
in the present ion include partially hydrolyzed saponins.
[FOLLOWED BY PAGE 4]
The content of saponins in the beer-taste beverages of the present invention is not
limited as long as they contribute to the tion of white foam by suppressing the color
that is derived from the colorants in the beverages; however, it is preferably at least 1 mg/L,
more preferably at least 2 mg/L, and even more ably at least 4 mg/L. The upper limit
of the saponin content is not particularly d if it is greater than the amount that enables
the production of white foam; however, from the viewpoints of cost and potential effects on
scent and taste, the saponin content is preferably not greater than 1,000 mg/L, more
preferably not greater than 50 mg/L, and most preferably not greater than 20 mg/L.
atively, the saponin t may be not r than 8 mg/L or not greater than 7 mg/L.
It should be noted that all numerical ranges that satisfy any of the upper and lower limits
indicated above can be adopted. Hence, an exemplary range is at least 1 mg/L but not greater
than 1,000 mg/L, and another applicable range is at least 1 mg/L but not greater than
50 mg/L, or at least 1 mg/L but not greater than 20 mg/L. Alternatively, the range may be at
least 1 mg/L but not greater than 8 mg/L or at least 2 mg/L but not r than 7 mg/L.
The method of measuring the saponin content is not particularly limited and it can
be measured by, for example, gas chromatography or HPLC. In the case of quillaja saponins,
they can be fied by the method described on pages 305—3 07 of the 8th edition of the
se Standards of Food Additives .
(Colorants)
In the present invention, any of the colorants that are approved as food additives
may be employed. From the viewpoint of addition to beverages, it is particularly preferred to
use water-soluble colorants or highly hilic colorants. It is also possible to use
colorants that can effectively provide beer—like colors. Among others, caramel colors are
especially preferred since they satisfy all of these conditions.
In the present invention, any substances known as caramel colors can be used. For
example, caramel colors are classified by production method into classes I, II, III, and IV,
and any of these may be used.
Given below are the definitions of the respective classes of caramel colors according
to the Japanese Standards of Food Additives (1999).
Class I caramel color: This product is obtained by heat treatment of a starch
hydrolysate, molasses or sugars as an edible carbohydrate, ally in the presence of an
added acid or alkali but Without using a sulfurous acid compound or an ammonium
compound.
Class II l color: This product is obtained by heat treatment of a starch
hydrolysate, molasses or sugars as an edible carbohydrate in the presence of a ous acid
nd, optionally together with an added acid or alkali but without using an ammonium
compound.
Class III caramel color: This product is obtained by heat treatment of a starch
hydrolysate, molasses or sugars as an edible carbohydrate in the presence of an ammonium
compound, optionally together with an added acid or alkali but Without using a sulfurous acid
compound.
Class IV l color: This product is obtained by heat treatment of a starch
hydrolysate, molasses or sugars as an edible carbohydrate in the presence of both a ous
acid compound and an ammonium compound, optionally together with an added acid or
alkali. -
In the present invention, any class of caramel colors may be used but from the
viewpoint of imparting a beer-like color or from the ints of cost, easy availability, and
the significant effect that can be obtained, caramel colors of class I, class II, or class IV can
preferably be used, and caramel colors of class I or class IV can be used more ably, and
caramel colors of class I can be used most preferably. As for the color intensity of caramels,
various values may be chosen.
In the present invention, the contents of colorants such as caramel colors to be
incorporated in the beer-taste beverages are not particularly limited, and for the lower limit,
the contents are preferably at least 10 mg/L, more preferably at least 100 mg/L, even more
preferably at least 200 mg/L, and still more ably at least 300 mg/L. For the upper limit,
the contents are preferably not greater than 20,000 mg/L, more preferably not greater than
2,000 mg/L, and even more preferably not greater than 1,000 mg/L. It should be noted that
all numerical ranges that have any of the upper and lower limits indicated above can be
adopted. Hence, an exemplary range is at least 10 mg/L but not greater than 20,000 mg/L,
and another applicable range is at least 100 mg/L but not greater than 2,000 Ing/L, at least
100 mg/L but not greater than 1,000 mg/L, at least 200 mg/L but not greater than
1,000 mg/L, or at least 300 mg/L but not greater than 1,000 mg/L.
Although the contents of colorants such as caramel colors to be incorporated in the
beer-taste beverages are not particularly limited in the t invention, the beer—taste
beverages of the present ion may n the colorants in such amounts that the
chromaticity (EBC) of the beverage is increased by a certain degree. For the lower limit, the
increase in the chromaticity (BBC) in the process is preferably at least 1, more preferably at
least 2, whereas for the upper limit the increase is preferably not greater than 400, more
preferably not greater than 40, even more preferably not greater than 37, and still more
preferably not greater than 18. All cal ranges that have any of the upper and lower
limits indicated above can be adopted. Hence, the degree of increase in chromaticity (BBC)
may be adjusted to range preferably a least 1 but not r than 400, more preferably at
least 1 but not greater than 40, even more preferably at least 2 but not greater than 37, and
still more preferably at least 2 but not greater than 18.
It should be noted that chromaticity ement can be performed by any suitable
method such as the one specified by the European Brewery Convention (abbreviated as
BBC.)
The method of checking to see if colorants such as caramel colors are used and the
method of measuring their contents are not particularly limited and they can be ed by,
for example, gas chromatography or HPLC. Methods such as the quantitative assays,
qualitative assays, verification assays and purity test assays that are described in various
official compendiums may be applied with le adaptations or, alternatively, known
documented methods may also be used with appropriate ements. The necessary
information can also be obtained from the labeling on ts, the disclosure of product
brochures, and from production instructions, production records, or permission/authorization
documents.
(Beer—taste beverages)
The term “beer—taste beverages” as used herein refers to carbonated drinks having a
ike flavor. Thus, unless otherwise noted, beer-taste beverages as referred to herein
embrace all types of carbonated drinks with a beer flavor whether or not they are produced
via a yeast-based fermentation step. The aste ges of the present invention
embrace not only those which contain alcohol (hereinafter sometimes designated as
“alcoholic, beer—taste ges” or “alcoholic beverages”) but also those which are
substantially free of alcohol (hereinafter sometimes designated as “non-alcoholic, beer-taste
beverages” or “non-alcoholic beverages”). An example of the coholic, beer—taste
beverages of the present invention is aste soft drinks.
The alcohol content of the beer-taste beverage of the present invention is not
particularly limited but is preferably not greater than 10%, more preferably not greater than
8%, and even more preferably it is at least 3% but not greater than 7%. If the beer-taste
beverage is a low—alcohol or non—alcoholic ge, its alcohol content is typically not
greater than 1.0%, or not greater than 0.5%, or not greater than 0.005%, even sometimes the
ge is substantially free of alcohol. In the case wherethe beer-taste beverage of the
present invention is substantially alcohol-free (i.e., coholic beverage), beer~taste
beverages which contain alcohol in a trace amount that is too small to be detected are within
the scope of the non-alcoholic beverage of the present invention. ed within the scope
of the non—alcoholic beverage of the present invention are beverages the alcohol content of
which is calculated to be 0.0%, in particular, 0.00% by counting fractions of 5 and over as a
unit and cutting away the rest.
The “alcohol content” in the beer-taste beverage of the present invention refers to
the t of alcohol (v/v%) in the beverage and can be measured by any known method, as
by using a vibrating densimeter. ically, the beverage is filtered or ted to remove
carbon dioxide; the C02~free sample is distilled under direct fire and the density at 15 °C of
the ing distillate is measured and converted to an l content by looking at Table 2
which is titled “Conversion Between Alcohol Content and Density (15 °C) or c
Gravity (15/15 °C)” and annexed to Analysis Methods Prescribed by the National Tax
Agency nal Tax Agency Directive No. 6 in 2007, revised June 22, 2007.) If the
alcohol t is as low as less than 1.0%, a commercial apparatus for alcohol ement
or gas chromatography may be employed.
The beer—taste beverages of the present invention can be produced by ordinary
methods known to skilled artisans. For example, at least one ingredient selected from among
mugi such as malt, other cereal grains, starches and sugars, as well as other ingredients such
as ness imparting agents and nts are charged into a mashing kettle or tank where
gelatinization and saccharification are performed, optionally in the presence of an added
enzyme such as amylase; the saccharified mash is then filtered, boiled in the presence of
optionally added hops, and transferred to a clarification tank to remove solids such as
ated proteins. The saccharification, g and solids removal steps may be performed
under known conditions.
To produce alcoholic beverages, yeast is subsequently added for fermentation and
then removed by a filter machine or other means. Fermentation may be performed under
known ions. If necessary, the alcohol concentration may be reduced by a known
method such as membrane treatment or dilution. Alternatively, the fermentation step may be
replaced by addition of an alcoholic ingredient such as spirits. Subsequently, storage,
optional addition of carbon dioxide, filtration, packaging, and optional sterilization are
med to produce alcoholic, aste beverages.
Since it is lt to achieve complete removal of alcohol from the beverage that
has been subjected to the step of fermentation with yeast, non-alcoholic beverages, especially
those the alcohol content of which is calculated to be 0.00% by counting fractions of 5 and
over as a unit and cutting away the rest are preferably produced by a non-fennenting process
that will not generate alcohol. For example, without performing the fermentation step but
immediately following the above-described solids removal step, storage, addition of carbon
dioxide, filtration, packaging, and optional sterilization steps are med to produce non-
fermented, non-alcoholic, aste beverages.
Saponins and colorants may be added during any one of the steps mentioned above.
In the present invention, various ingredients may, if necessary, be used additionally
to such an extent that they will not be deleterious to the d effects of the invention.
Examples include sweeteners, flavors, yeast extracts, and plant protein- and peptide—
containing substances such as corn and soybean, proteinaceous substances such as bovine
serum albumin, seasonings such as dietary fiber and amino acids, antioxidants such as
ascorbic acid, and various ants, and these additives may optionally be used to such an
extent that they will not be deleterious to the desired effects of the ion. There is a
tendency to e beer—taste beverages having a scent and taste that are r to those of
beer, so hops are desirably used as an ient. If hops are to be used, ordinary pelletized
hops, powdered hops, and hop extracts that are used in the manufacture of beer and like
beverages can be used as selected appropriately for the desired scent and taste. Processed
hops such as isomerized hops and reduced hops may also be used. These are all encompassed
by the hops to be used in the present invention. The amount of hops to be added is not
particularly d and it is typically at least about 0.0001 wt% but not greater than about 1
wt% ofthe total quantity of the beverage.
(mugz')
The term “mugz'” as used herein means mugz' (usually its berry) that is employed in
producing ordinary beers and happoshu as well as their processed products, and malt is
ed within the definition of mugi.
Mugi other than malt that are employed as ingredients in the present invention may
be exemplified by such mugz' as yet-to-be-germinated barley, wheat, rye, karasumugi (white
oats), oats, haromugz' (Job’s-tears), and embaku (oats). Among others, yet-to—be-germinated
barley can be used with advantage. These ingredients can be used either independently or in
combination. They can even be used in combination with malt.
Yet-to-be-germinated mugz’ can also be used as decomposition products of mugi
which are obtained by preliminarily breaking down magi with externally-added or malt-
derived enzymes. Decomposition products of mugi as used in the present invention are
obtained by ying and rifying mugz' enzymatically and then concentrating the
resulting saccharified liquid. To effect tic liquefaction, or—amylase is mainly used.
For efficient liquefaction, oc—amylase is preferably used in combination with B—glucanase. To
break down the proteins in mugz', proteases may also be added. For saccharization, oc-
amylase is used, optionally in combination with B—amylase, glucoamylase, pullulanase, etc.
After the enzymatic reaction with lase, heating and concentration are carried out to
yield the decomposition product of mugi to be used in the present invention. Among the
various decomposition products of mugi, decomposed barley can be used with particular
advantage. Barley to be used to make decomposed barley is not particularly limited if it is
yet to be ated and while any edible variety of barley may be used, the varieties used in
malt production are preferred.
As used herein, malt is a product obtained by ating the seeds of mugz’ such as
barley, Wheat, rye, karasurnugz' (oats), oats, hatomugz' (Job’s-tears), and embaku (oats), drying
the sprouts, and removing their roots. The phic regions of malt production are not
particularly limited, either. It is particularly preferred to use barley malt. In the present
invention, not only regular malt but also dark colored malt may be used.
(Preferred modes of the beer-taste beverage of the invention)
1) Beer-taste beverage with low percentage of malt use
One of the preferred modes of the beer-taste beverage of the present invention is one
with low percentage of malt use. This type of beverage may be fermented or rmented.
An example is a beer—taste beverage with the percentage of malt use being not r than
50%, preferably not greater than 25%. The “percentage of malt use” is also called percent
malt and refers to the weight percentage of malt in ingredients other than water and hops, as
exemplified by malt, rice, maize, ng, potato, starch, mugz' other than malt, and sugars.
Since this type of beverage contains relatively small amounts of malt—derived ients,
there is a great need to add ients having a coloring effect such as caramel colors in
order to ensure that the ge has a ike color. Hence, the ive technology
capable of whitening the foam can be used with advantage. On the other hand, as s
beers with high percentage of malt use, say, 100% malt use, there is not a particularly great
need to use colorants and the foam produced has a white color which is inherent in beers;
hence, the need to use the ive technology is small.
2) Beer—taste beverage that does not use malt or mugz'
Another preferred mode of the beer-taste beverage of the present invention is one
that does not use malt. This type of beverage may be ted or non—fermented. Examples
are beer-taste beverages that are made from magi other than malt, cereal grains such as rice,
corn, soybean, and pea, or a sugary liquid. Since this type of beverage contains extremely
small amounts of malt-derived ingredients, there is an even greater need to add ingredients
having a coloring effect such as caramel colors in order to ensure that the beverage has a
beer-like color. Hence, the inventive technology capable of whitening the foam can be used
with advantage. Yet another preferred mode of the beer-taste beverage of the present
invention may be one that does not use mugz' such as malt. This type of beverage may be
fermented or non—fermented. In this case, too, the inventive technology can be used with
advantage for the same reason as bed above.
3) ccharide, low-calorie or low—extract component, beer-taste beverage
Still another preferred mode of the beer-taste beverage of the present invention is a
low7saccharide, low-calorie or low—extract component, beer-taste beverage. This type of
beverage may be fermented or non—fermented. In order to realize those features, the beverage
itself or its ingredients are oftentimes diluted with water. In this case, the components
derived from the ingredients are more diluted than those in ordinary beer—taste beverages, so
there is a great need with the beverage of st to add ingredients having a coloring effect
such as caramel colors in order to ensure that the beverage has a beer-like color. Hence, the
inventive technology e of whitening the foam can be used with advantage.
The content of saccharides in the low~saccharide, beer-taste ge of the present
invention is preferably not greater than 2.0 g/100 mL or 2 g/100 mL and its lower limit is
preferably 0.04 g/100 mL, more preferably 0.2 g/100 mL. The amount of saccharides is
more preferably at least 0.2 g/100 mL but not greater than 2.0 g/100 mL or 2 g/l 00 mL, even
more preferably at least 0.25 g/100 mL but not r than 2.0 g/100 mL or 2 g/l 00 mL, and
it is still more preferably at least 0.25 g/ 100 mL but not greater than 0.9 g/100 mL.
The term “saccharides” as used herein refers to ones based on the Nutrition
ing Standards for Foods (Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry Notice No. 176 in 2003).
Specifically, saccharides are that part of a food which remains after ns, lipids, dietary
fiber, ash, acetic acid, alcohols, and water have been removed. The amount of saccharides in
a food can be ated by subtracting the amounts of proteins, lipids, dietary fiber, ash, and
water from the weight of the food. In this case, the s of proteins, lipids, dietary fiber,
ash, and water are measured by the methods set out in the Nutrition Labelling Standards.
cally, the amount of proteins is measured by the nitrogen determination and
conversion method, the amount of lipids by the ether extraction method, the
chloroform/methanol mixed liquid extraction method, the Gerber method, the acid
decomposition method or the Roese-Gottlieb method, the amount of y fiber by high-
performance liquid chromatography or the Prosky method, the amount of ash by the
magnesium acetate addition ashing , the direct ashing method or the sulfuric acid
addition ashing , and the amount of water by the Karl-Fischer method, the drying aid
method, the method of drying by heating under reduced pressure, the method of drying by
heating under atmospheric pressure, or the plastic film method.
The calorie content in the low—calorie, beer-taste beverage of the present invention is
preferably not greater than 8 kcal/l 00 mL, more preferably at least 0.1 kcal/100 mL but not
greater than 8 kcal/l 00 mL, even more preferably at least 1 kcal/100 mL but not r than
8 kcal/100 mL, and still more preferably at least 1 kcal/100 mL but not greater than
kcal/lOO mL. The calorie content in beverages is calculated basically in accordance with
“On Analysis Methods, etc. for Nutrients, etc. Listed in the Nutrition ing Standards” as
published in association with the Health Promotion Act; in principle, the determined amounts
of the respective nutrients are multiplied by the associated energy conversion factors
(4 kcal/g for proteins; 9 kcal/g for lipids; 4 kcal/g for saccharides; 2 kcal/g for y fiber;
7 kcal/g for alcohols; 3 kca/g for organic acids) and the products are added up to give the
total number of calories. For details, see “On Analysis Methods, etc. for Nutrients, etc.
Listed in the Nutrition Labelling Standards.” c techniques for measuring the amounts
of the respective nutrients contained in beverages may comply with the various methods of
analysis described in “On Analysis Methods, etc. for nts, etc. Listed in the Nutrition
Labelling Standards” as a supplement to the Health Promotion Act. Alternatively, the Japan
Food Research Laboratories (Foundation) will e the necessary ation about such
calorific values and/or the amounts of the respective nutrients upon request.
The “low-extract component, beer~taste beverage” means beverages that contain
only small amounts of extract components. For example, the total amount of extract
components derived from all ingredients in that beverage is preferably at least 0.2 wt% but
not r than 3 wt%, more ably at least 0.2 wt% but not r than 2.1 wt%, even
more preferably at least 0.3 wt% but not greater than 2.1 wt%, still more preferably at least
0.3 wt% but not greater than 1.4 wt%, yet more preferably at least 0.35 wt% but not r
than 1.4 wt%, further more preferably at least 0.4 wt% but not r than 1.4 wt%, and still
further more preferably at least 0.45 wt% but not greater than 1.1 wt%.
In the case of beverages having an alcohol content of at least 0.005 %, the “amount
of extract components” as used herein refers to the value of grams of extract components as
specified in the Japanese Liquor Tax Act, namely, the nonvolatile matter contained in a unit
volume of 100 cubic centimeters at a temperature of 15 s; in the case of beverages the
alcohol content of which is less than 0.005 %, the term refers to the extract level (wt%) in
degassed samples as measured in accordance with “Beer Analysis Methods, 7.2 Extracts”
specified by Brewery Convention of Japan (BCOJ) of Brewers Association of Japan. The
methods of adjusting the amount of extract ents are not particularly limited and
examples that may be contemplated include adjusting the amount of magi to be used as an
ingredient or diluting the beverage.
4) Low-saccharide, low-calorie or low-extract component, non-alcoholic beer-taste
beverage
Another preferred mode of the beer-taste beverage of the present invention is a low-
saccharide, low-calorie or low—extract component, non- alcoholic beer—taste ge. Non-
alcoholic beer—taste beverages are beer~taste beverages that are substantially free of alcohol.
A big challenge to the manufacture of non—alcoholic beer-taste beverages is that they give an
impression that closely resembles beer under the condition that they contain no alcohol. In
particular, beer—like foam is an important element that contributes a beer-like quality.
Therefore, the logy of the present invention which is capable of producing as White
foam as is obtained from beers can be applied to the non—alcoholic beer-taste beverage.
[003 9] The non—alcoholic beer-taste beverage need not necessarily be produced Via the
fermentation step and, What is more, the absence of alcohol makes it possible to impart a
healthy impression to the beverage. For example, a low-saccharide, low-calorie or low—
extract component, non-alcoholic beer-taste beverage can be produced.
To make a non-alcoholic and low-extract component beer-taste beverage, the total
amount of extract components can ably be adjusted to at least 0.05 wt% but not greater
than 2.3 wt%, more preferably to at least 0.2 wt% but not greater than 2.1 wt%, even more
preferably to at least 0.2 wt% but not greater than 1.1 wt%, still more preferably to at least
0.2 wt% but not greater than 0.4 wt%, and yet more preferably to at least 0.2 wt% but not
greater than 0.3 wt%.
To make a non—alcoholic and low-calorie beer-taste beverage, the calorie t per
100 mL of the ge can preferably be ed to at least 0.2 kcal but not r than
8 kcal, more preferably to at least 0.7 kcal but not r than 8 kcal, even more preferably
to at least 0.7 kcal but not r than 4 kcal, still more preferably to at least 0.7 kcal but not
greater than 1.6 kcal, and yet more ably to at least 0.7 kcal but not greater than 1.2 kcal.
To make a non-alcoholic and ccharide beer-taste beverage, the amount of
saccharides can preferably be adjusted to 0.1 g/100 mL but not greater than 3 g/100 mL,
more ably to at least 0.2 g/100 mL but not greater than 2 g/100 mL, even more
preferably to at least 0.2 g/100 mL but not greater than 1 g/ 100 mL, still more preferably to at
least 0.2 g/100 mL but not greater than 0.4 g/100 mL, and yet more preferably to at least
0.2 g/100 mL but not r than 0.3 g/100 mL.
(Method of ing the foam)
In the present invention, the foam of colorant—containing, beer-taste beverages is
whitened by incorporating saponins in the beverages.
The Whitening of the foam asses two approaches, one for suppressing the
coloration of foam, and the other for whitening the foam as it is being produced or after it has
been produced.
In the present invention, the content of saponins to be orated in the beer-taste
beverage is not limited as long as the color of the foam derived from the colorants contained
in the beverage can be suppressed or otherwise controlled to produce white foam. The
content of saponins to be incorporated in the beer-taste beverage is preferably at least 1 mg/L,
more preferably at least 2 mg/L, and even more preferably at least 4 mg/L. The upper limit
of the saponin content is not particularly d if it is greater than the amount that enables
the production of white foam; however, from the viewpoints of cost and potential effects on
scent and taste, the saponin content is preferably not greater than 1,000 mg/L, more
preferably not greater than 50 mg/L, and most preferably not greater than 20 mg/L.
Alternatively, the saponin content may be not greater than 8 mg/L or not greater than 7 mg/L.
It should be noted that all numerical ranges that satisfy any of the upper and lower limits
indicated above can be d. Hence, an exemplary range is from 1 mg/L to 1,000 mg/L,
and another applicable range is from 1 mg/L to 50 mg/L, or from 1 mg/L to 20 mg/L.
Alternatively, the range may be from 1 mg/L to 8 mg/L or from 2 mg/L to 7 mg/L. The
contents of nts such as caramel colors to be incorporated in the beer—taste beverages, as
regards to their lower limit, are preferably at least 10 mg/L, more preferably at least 100
mg/L, even more preferably at least 200 mg/L, and still more preferably at least 300 mg/L.
As regards to the upper limit, the contents are preferably not r than 20,000 mg/L, more
preferably not greater than 2,000 mg/L, and even more preferably not r than
1,000 mg/L. It should be noted that all numerical ranges that have any of the upper and
lower limits indicated above can be adopted. Hence, an exemplary range is from 10 mg/L to
,000 mg/L, and another applicable range is from 100 mg/L to 2,000 mg/L, from 100 mg/L
to 1,000 mg/L, from 200 mg/L to 1,000 mg/L, or from 300 mg/L to 1,000 mg/L. The beer—
taste beverages may contain nts such as caramel colors in such amounts that the
chromaticity (BBC) of the beverage is sed by a certain degree. For the lower limit, the
increase in the chromaticity (BBC) in the process is preferably at least 1, more preferably at
least 2, whereas for the upper limit the increase is preferably not greater than 400, more
preferably not greater than 40, even more preferably not greater than 37, and still more
preferably not greater than 18. All cal ranges that have any of the upper and lower
limits indicated above can be adopted. Hence, the degree of increase in chromaticity (BBC)
may be adjusted to range preferably from 1 to 400, more ably from 1 to 40, even more
preferably from 2 to 37, and still more preferably from 2 to 18.
As will be set out in the Examples, the color of foam can be ted by, for
example, comparing it to the closest color on a JIS color chart.
The means for incorporating saponins in the beer—taste beverage is not particularly
limited if a treatment is possible such that saponins are contained in the beverage at the time
when the foam is to be whitened, and any of the methods known to the skilled artisan may be
employed. The timing of incorporating ns is not limited, either. For example,
saponins may be added before, during or after any one of the steps involved in the production
of aste beverages, say, the entioned saccharification, boiling, or solids removal
step. Saponins may be added either on their own or as incorporated in flavors.
(Packaged beverages)
The beer—taste beverage of the present invention may be packaged in containers.
The types of containers are in no way limited and glass bottles, cans, kegs, PET bottles and
the like may be filled with the beverage and sealed to produce packaged beverages.
On the following pages, the present invention is described by means of examples, to
which the ion is in no way limited.
Example 1
<Production of non-alcoholic beer-taste beverage of the invention>
A beer-taste beverage of the present invention was produced by the following
method. Malt was used in 20 kg (60 wt% of which consisted of dark colored malt, or
caramel malt). The malt was ground to an appropriate grain size, charged into a mashing
, and mixed with 120 L of warm water to prepare mash with about 50 °C. After
holding at 50 °C for 30 s, the temperature was slowly raised and saccharification was
performed at 65—72 °C for 60 minutes. Upon completion of saccharification, the mash was
heated to 77 °C and erred to a wort ion vessel, where it was filtered to form a
filtrate.
A portion of the e was mixed with warm water at a ratio that was so adjusted
that upon completion of boiling, the amount of extract components would reach the desired
level. At a production scale of 100 L, about 100 g of hops and about 40 g of a commercial
l color (a class I caramel color) were added and the e was agitated. In the
process, the chromaticity (BBC) increased by 8. Subsequently, the mixture was boiled at
’ 100°C for 80 minutes. Lees were separated from the boiled mixture, which was then cooled
to about 2 °C; thereafter, antioxidants, flavors, acidulants (sufficient to lower pH to less than
4) and sweeteners were added in suitable amounts, and subsequently, a commercial saponin
was added in an amount of about 5 mg/L of the product and the mixture was stored for about
24 hours. In the process, a suitable amount of carbon dioxide was added. uent steps
of filtration, bottling and sterilization (heating for 10 minutes at 65 °C and above) yielded a
non-alcoholic beer-taste beverage of the present invention (Invention Product 1). The
content of caramel color in the beverage was about 400 mg/L. The beverage of Invention
Product 1 was l-free, with the calorie content being 2 kcal/100 mL, the amount of
saccharides being 0.4 g/100 mL, and the total amount of extract components being 0.4 wt%.
A non-alcoholic aste beverage (Comparative Sample 1) was prepared by
repeating the same procedure, except that no saponin was added.
A cial beer (SUNTORY The PREMIUM MALT’S; 100% malt use, with no
colorants added) was also evaluated as Reference Sample 1.
<Method of evaluating the color of foam>
Each of the s cooled to a suitable temperature (ca. 8 °C) in large bottles of
beer (633 mL) was uncapped and poured into a 500-mL glass cylinder from a height of about
cm above the mouth of the cylinder in about 6 seconds in such a way that it would
produce foam which rose to the level of 500 mL. Five minutes after the samples were poured
in, the foam remaining within the cylinder was examined with the naked eye and the color on
a JIS color chart (in ance with IIS Z8102) that was the closest to the color of the foam
was recorded. The results are shown in Table 1 below. The foam of Comparative Sample 1
was considerably pale yellow whereas the foam of Invention Product 1 was as white as the
foam of Reference Sample 1; the addition of saponin contributed to a marked improvement in
the color of foam. The beverage of Invention Product 1 was also red in scent and taste.

<Fermented, beer-taste beverage>
To 85 kg of mother water were added 7 kg of sugar syrup (Kato Kagaku Co., Ltd),
70 g of decomposed corn proteins, 70 g of yeast t, 40 g of caramel color, 100 g of hops
and a specified amount of soluble vegetable fibers, and the resulting mixture was
boiled for 50 minutes and left to stand; the suspended solid matter was removed to give a
fermentation liquor. After adding ners (acesulfame K and sucralose), an acidulant
(citric acid), tripotassium citrate, starter alcohol, and flavors to the fermentation liquor,
saponins were also added in an amount of about 5 mg/L of the product; thereafter, a yeast
(Weihenstephan-34 ) was added in such an amount that the live cell count would be 10
X 106 cells/mL, and tation was conducted at a temperature of 20 °C for 8 days. After
the end of assimilation of the carbon sources, the yeast was filtered off to produce a
fermented, beer—taste ge with an alcohol content of 5% (Invention Product 2). The
percentage of malt use in the beverage of Invention t 2 was zero, so was the
percentage of use of mugz' such as malt.
The color of the foam in the obtained beverage was evaluated by the same method
as in Example 1; as a result, the color of the foam was as white as the reference sample, and
there was no problem. The beverage of Invention Product 2 was also preferred in scent and
taste.
Example 3
<Production of non-alcoholic beer-taste beverage>
Eight samples of a coholic beer-taste beverage of the present invention were
prepared by incorporating a commercial saponin in amounts ranging from 1 to 50 mg/L of
the product (Invention Products 3 to 10). The method of production was the same as in
Example 1 except for the amount of saponin added. The content of caramel color in these
ge samples was about 400 mg/L, with a chromaticity (BBC) increase of 8. These
beverage samples were l—free, with the calorie content being 2 kcal/100 mL, the
amount of saccharides being 0.4 g/100 mL, and the total amount of extract components being
0.4 wt%.
A non—alcoholic beer—taste beverage (Comparative Sample 2) was prepared by
repeating the same procedure, except that no saponin was added.
<Method of evaluating the color of foam>
The color of foam was ted by the same method as in Example 1. The results
are shown in Table 2 below. The foam of Comparative Sample 2 was considerably pale
yellow whereas Invention Products 3 to 10 produced white foam.

respectively, per liter of the product and the mixtures were gently agitated to prepare
Invention Products 11 to 13.
The color of foam was evaluated by the same method as in Example 1. The results
are shown in Table 3 below. The foam of ative Sample 3 was considerably pale

content: 0 mg/L), and Invention Products 16 to 19 (100 mg/L, 400 mg/L, 1,000 mg/L, and
2,000 mg/L). Namely, these non—alcoholic beer-taste beverages were prepared as in Example
1, except that the amount of a caramel color (type I) added was varied stepwise, and that the
amount of saponin was 20 mg/L. The color of foam from the prepared samples was
evaluated by the same method as in Example I. The results are shown in Table 5 below.
Invention Products 16 to 18 produced white foam, which was comparable to the white foam
from Comparative Sample 6 which had no caramel color added thereto. Invention Product
19 produced ish white foam but it was apparently whiter than in the case where no
saponin was added, for e, ative Sample 1 prepared in Example 1. Thus,
Invention ts 16 to 19 all ed substantially white and, hence, preferred foam;
what is more, they were also confirmed to be satisfactory as a beer-taste beverage in terms of
scent and taste. Table 5 also indicates the chromaticity (EBC) of each sample, as well as the
differences (the increases) in chromaticity that ed from the addition of the caramel
color.

<Low—extract component, low-calorie, low-saccharide, non-alcoholic beer-taste
beverages>
Five samples of beer—taste beverage having different extract component contents
were produced in accordance with the t invention. Malt was ground to an appropriate
grain size, charged into a g vessel, and mixed with 120 L of warm water to prepare
mash with about 50 °C. After holding at 50 °C for 30 minutes, the temperature was slowly
raised and saccharification was performed at 65~72 °C for 60 minutes. Upon completion of
saccharification, the mash was heated to 77 °C and transferred to a wort filtration vessel,
where it was filtered to form a e.
A portion of the filtrate was mixed with warm water at a ratio that was so adjusted
that upon completion of boiling, the amount of extract components would reach the d
levels. At a production scale of 100 L, about 100 g of hops was added and the mixture was
boiled at 100 °C for 80 minutes. Lees were separated from the boiled mixture, which was
then cooled to about 2 °C; thereafter, antioxidants, flavors, acidulants and sweeteners were
added in le amounts, and a caramel color (a type I caramel color) was added in an
amount of 200 mg/L of the product; furthermore, a n was added in an amount of
mg/L of the product, and the e was stored for about 24 hours. In the process, a
suitable amount of carbon dioxide was added. uent steps of filtration, bottling and
sterilization (heating for 10 minutes at 65 °C and above) yielded Samples 1 to 5 of the non-
alcoholic beer-taste beverage of the present invention.
The color of the foam from each of the samples was evaluated by the same method
as in Example 1. The results are shown in Table 6 below; all samples used the caramel color
and yet they produced white foam. What is more, they were satisfactory as a beer—taste
beverage in terms of scent and taste.
