Description
PTION
NON-ALCOHOL, BEER-TASTE BEVERAGE HAVING SUBSTANTLALITY IN TASTE
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present ion provides a non-alcohol, aste beverage comprising a
predetermined amount of a polyphenol(s), the production method of the same and wort used
in the production.
BACKGROUND ART
Malt and hops are essential ingredients in producing beer. Polyphenols derived
from malt and hops add richness to beer, and Shimari in the taste. Aromatic components
derived from hops add a delightful flavor to the beer. Further, bitter components derived
from hops add a crisp bitterness and excellent foam retention.
The bitterness of beer is affected by the weight ratio of malt and hops. In relation
to this, Non-Patent Document 1 reports in p. 78 to 79 that decreasing the amount of hops in a
rich-tasting beer obtained using a large quantity of malt leads to a beer that is unpleasant to
drink due to the lack of Shimari in taste and an undesirable snappiness; and increasing the
amount of hops in beer with relatively bland taste obtained using a small ty of malt
leads to a beer with an unbalanced flavor characterized by strong bitterness. Hence, it is
common to increase the amount of hops in a rich-tasting beer ed using a large quantity
of malt, and to decrease the amount of hops in beer with relatively bland taste, when
ing beer.
The recent health ousness of consumers is increasing the demand for non—
alcohol beer-taste beverages, that is, beverages with 0.00% alcohol. Since fermentation
produces alcohol, non-alcohol beer-taste beverages are often produced without fermenting
the ingredients. Patent Document 1 bes that ble protein hydrolysates and a malt
extract are used as ingredients to produce a non-fermented, beer-flavored, carbonated drink
that is essentially free of ethanol, having a beer-like bitterness and richness, as well as
thickness and unity in flavor.

SUMMARY OF INVENTION
TECHNICAL PROBLEM
Through production of non—alcohol beer—taste beverages using malt and hops at a
weight ratio normally adopted in beer production, it was found that the resulting beverage
had less Shimari in taste. This is a problem specific to non—alcohol beer-taste beverages
produced without fermentation.
The present ion aims to provide a non-alcohol beer-taste beverage with
Shimari in taste.

AGEOUS EFFECTS OF INVENTION
The present invention can add Shimari in taste to the non—alcohol beer-taste beverage
Without causing an unbalanced flavor characterized by strong astringency.
DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS
<Non-alcohol beer-taste beverage>
As one aspect, the present invention provides a non-alcohol beer—taste ge. In
particular, in the t specification, the non—alcohol beer-taste beverage can be a non—
ted beer—taste beverage. The non-alcohol aste beverage of the present invention
ses a polyphenol(s). Polyphenols are important in terms of flavor in the present
invention, since they can add Shimari in taste to the non—alcohol beer—taste beverage. Hence,
hops having a high polyphenol content are preferable for use, since they will se the
total polyphenol content of the non—alcohol beer—taste beverage. Pelletized hops include
more polyphenols than hop extracts, so they suit the use in the present invention.
The polyphenol content of the non-alcohol beer-taste beverage of the present
invention can be defined by its weight ratio to the total amount of the extract component(s).
The weight ratio of the polyphenol(s) to the total amount of the extract component(s) affects
the advantageous effects of the t invention, which are to t the beverage from
having strong astringency and also to add Shimarz' in taste to the beverage. Accordingly, the
weight ratio can vary as long as it is in a range that does not hinder the advantageous effects
of the present invention. The weight ratio of the polyphenol(s) to the total amount of the
extract component(s) in the non-alcohol beer—taste beverage (percentage by weight of the
polyphenol(s)/percentage by weight of the total amount of the extract component(s)) of the
present invention can have a range defined by any ation of a lower limit of 20><10‘4 or
, preferably 21 ><10”4 or higher, more ably 22><10’4 or higher, even more
preferably 23 X 10'4 or higher, and most preferably 24X10'4 or higher and a higher limit of
50><10'4 or lower, preferably 40X 1 0'4 or lower, more preferably 35><10'4 or lower, even more
preferably 30><10'4 or lower, still more preferably 29><10'4 or lower, still even more ably
28><10‘4 or lower, more ably 27><10'4 or lower, more preferably 26><10'4 or lower, and
most preferably 25X10’4. For example, the weight ratio of the polyphenol(s) to the total
amount of the extract component(s) (percentage by weight of the polyphenol(s)/percentage
by weight of the total amount of the extract component(s)) can be from 20><10‘4 to 50><10'4
inclusive, ably from 20><10'4 to 40X 1 0‘4 inclusive, more preferably from 20X10'4 to
><10'4 inclusive. In addition, the weight ratio of the polyphenol(s) to the total amount of the
extract component(s) (percentage by weight of the polyphenol(s)/percentage by weight of the
total amount of the extract component(s)) can be from 20><10'4 to 50><104 inclusive,
preferably from 20><10'4 to 40><10'4 inclusive, more preferably from 20><10'4 to 35><lO'4
inclusive, even more preferably from 20X 10“4 to 3O><10’4 inclusive, still more preferably from
><10‘4 to 29><10‘4 inclusive, still even more preferably from 20><10"4 to 28 ><10'4 ive,
more preferably from 21><lO'4 to 28><10‘4 inclusive, more preferably from 22X 1044 to 28><10'4
inclusive, more preferably from 22><10'4 to '4 ive, more preferably from 23 ><10'4
to 27><10'4 inclusive, more preferably from 23 ><10'4 to 26><10'4 inclusive, especially
preferably from 24><10'4 to 26X 10’4 inclusive, most preferably from 24><10'4 to 25><10'4
ive. No existing non-alcohol beer-taste beverage is found to contain polyphenols at the
above weight ratio.
A non-alcohol aste beverage with a weight ratio of the enol(s) to the total
amount of the extract component(s) that is lower than 20><10"4 is undesirable, since, although
its astringency is not so , its taste will lack Shimari. On the other hand, a cohol
beer-taste ge with a weight ratio of the polyphenol(s) to the total amount of the extract
component(s) that is higher than 50><10‘4 is also not desirable, since, although it has Shimari
in taste, its astringency will be undesirably strong.
The term "Shimari " used with regard to a taste in the present specification refers to
the unity of the taste and the snappiness of the taste.
The term “beer-taste ges” as used herein refers to carbonated drinks having a
beer-like 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 present invention is directed to a particular type,
non-alcoholic type, for example, unfermented non-alcoholic type, of these beverages, which
is substantially free of alcohol. It should be noted here that beverages which contain alcohol
in a trace amount that is too small to be detected are within the scope of the beverages of the
present ion. Included within the scope of the cohol 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. Since it is
difficult to completely remove alcohol from beverages that has been fermented by yeast, a
beverage with alcohol at a level of 0.00% by counting fractions of 5 and over as a unit and
cutting away the rest, should preferably be produced by a method that is exclusive of
fermentation. In the present cation, the term "non—fermented" or sive of
fermentation" refers to the lack of decomposition of organic matters by microorganism, and it
specifically refers to the lack of alcohol developing from decomposition of c matters
by yeast. Exemplary types of the non-alcoholic beer-taste beverages of the present invention
include non—fermented, non—alcohol, beer-taste beverages, beer—taste soft drinks, and the like.
The l content in the beer-taste beverage in the present ication is the
content of alcohol in the beverage (v/v%); the alcohol can be ed using any known
method, specifically using an oscillating densimeter. A specific example is provided below.
The beverage is filtered or subjected to ultrasonication to prepare a sample that is free of
carbon rich gas. The sample was put under direct fire for distillation to obtain a distilled
solution, and the density of the solution was measured at 15°C. "Table 2 Conversion
Table for Alcohol and Density (15°C) and ic Gravity (15/15°C)" in the appendix table
to the Predetermined Analysis Method of the National Tax Agency (Directive No. 6 of the
National Tax Agency in 2007, revised June 22, 2007) was used to convert the above
ement to obtain the alcohol content in the beverage. Further, if the l is at a
low concentration (e.g. lower than 1.0 v/v%), it can be measured using a commercial alcohol
measurement device or gas chromatography or the like.
Polyphenols in the present specification include polyphenols derived from mugi or
hops, and polyphenols added as an additive. Polyphenols derived from mugi include
catechin, prodelphinidin B3, and procyanidin B3. Polyphenols derived from hops include
catechin, procyanidin B3, and nidin C2. Polyphenols added as an additive can be any
approved food additives ing green tea enols, oolong tea polyphenols, and apple
polyphenols. The non-alcohol beer-taste beverage of the present invention includes a
polyphenol(s) derived from mugi and a polyphenol(s) derived from hops. A polyphenol
t can be measured by any commonly known method. Measurement in the present
invention is performed according to the "Beer Analysis Methods of ECG] (2004.111
Revised ed.) 7.11 Total enol" specified by the Brewery Convention of Japan (BCOJ)
of Brewers Association of Japan unless otherwise mentioned.
Any hops used in the production of beer and the like can be used in the present
specification by ing one or more hops from processed hops according to the purpose of
use, such as dried hop cone, pelletized hops, powder hops, hop extracts and ized hops,
hexa—hops, tetra—hops. Hops can be in any form, but hops with a high polyphenol content
are desirable, and pelletized hops are preferable.
The total amount of the t component(s) as mentioned in the t
specification is the sum of the extract component(s) contained in the non-alcohol beer-taste
beverage, and it can be measured according to the "Beer Analysis Methods of BCOJ
(2004.11.1 Revised ed.) 7.2 Extracts”.
In the non-alcohol beer-taste beverage of the present invention, the total amount of
the extract component(s) affects the foam formed on the surface of the non-alcohol beer-taste
beverage. A specific range of the total amount of the t component(s) provides a
sufficient quality, especially high foam retention, to the foam formed on the surface, so it is
preferable in terms of providing a beer-like appearance. The total amount of the extract
component(s) in the cohol beer-taste ge of the present invention can be in the
range defined by any combination of a lower limit of 0.1% by weight or higher, preferably
0.2% by weight or higher, and an upper limit of 2% by weight or lower, preferably 1% by

published in ation with the Health Promotion Act.
In other words, as a rule, the calorie can be obtained by multiplying the quantified
amount of each nutrient with its energy conversion factor (protein: 4 kcal/g, fat: 9 kcal/g,
saccharide: 4 kcal/g, y fiber: 2 kcal/g, alcohol: 7 kcal/g, organic acid: 3 kcal/g) and
totaling the products. For details, see “On Analysis Methods, etc. for Nutrients, etc. Listed
in the Nutrition Labelling Standards.”
Specific 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 Nutrients, etc. Listed in the ion labelling Standards” as a ment
to the Health Promotion Act. Alternatively, the Japan Food Research Laboratories
(Foundation) will provide such calorific values and/or the amounts of the respective nutrients
upon request.
The non-alcohol beer-taste beverage of the present ion comprises saccharides.
The term “saccharides” as used herein refers to ones based on the Nutrition Labelling
Standards for Foods (Health, Labor and Welfare ry Notice No. 176 in 2003).
Saccharide includes monosaccharides and accharides such as disaccharides,
trisaccharides, tetrasaccharides to decasaccharides, and monosaccharides and disaccharides
are preferable in the present invention. Monosaccharides include e, fructose,
galactose, and mannose. Disaccharides include sucrose, lactose, e, trehalose,
cellobiose. The saccharide t of the non-alcohol beer-taste beverage of the present
invention can be in a range of any combination of a lower limit of 0.1 g/100 ml or higher,
preferably 0.2 g/100 ml or higher, and a higher limit of 2.0 g/100 ml or lower, preferably
1.0 g/100 ml or lower, more preferably 0.8 g/100 ml or lower, even more preferably
0.6 g/100 ml or lower, still more preferably 0.5 g/100 ml or lower, still even more preferably
0.4 g/100 ml or lower, even more preferably 0.35 g/100 ml or lower, and most preferably
0.3 g/100 ml or lower. For example, the saccharide t of the non—alcohol beer-taste
beverage of the present invention can be from 0.1 to 2.0 g/100 ml inclusive, ably from
0.1 to 1.0 g/100 ml inclusive, more preferably from 0.1 to 0.5 g/100 ml inclusive. Further
exemplary ranges of the saccharide ts of the non-alcohol beer—taste beverage are from
0.1 to 2.0 g/100 ml inclusive, preferably from 0.1 to 1.0 g/100 ml inclusive, more preferably
from 0.1 to 0.8 g/100 ml inclusive, even more preferably from 0.1 to 0.6 g/100 ml inclusive,

preferably from 0.1 to 0.3 g/100 ml inclusive, and most preferably from 0.2 to 0.3 g/100 ml
inclusive.
The saccharide content can be obtained by subtracting the amount of protein, fat,
dietary fiber, ash, alcohol and water from the weight of the entire beverage. The protein, fat,
dietary fiber, ash and water can be measured by the methods in the Nutrition Labeling
Standards. Specifically, the mass of protein can be measured by the nitrogen determination
and conversion method. The amount of fat can be measured by the ether ting ,
chloroform-methanol mixture extracting method, the Gerber method, the acid hydrolysis
method, or the Roese—Gottlieb method. The amount of dietary fiber can be measured by the
high performance liquid chromatography method or the ashing method with added sulfuric
acid. The amount of water can be measured using the Karl Fischer technique, the drying aid
method, a method ing and drying under reduced pressure, a method of heating and
drying under normal pressure, or a plastic film method. These measurement s are
commonly known among persons skilled in the art.
As another aspect, the present invention provides wort having a weight ratio of the
polyphenol(s) to the total amount of the extract component(s) in a specific range. The wort
can be obtained by boiling the wort filtrate after mashing. The wort can be preferably used in
the production of a non-alcohol beer-taste beverage which has Shimari in taste and whose
astringency is not so strong.
The weight ratio of the polyphenol(s) to the total amount of the extract component(s)
in the wort of the present invention can be in a range that does not hinder the advantageous
effects of the present invention. The weight ratio of the polyphenol(s) to the total amount of
the extract component(s) in the wort in the present invention ntage by weight of the
polyphenol(s)/percentage by weight of the total amount of the extract component(s)) can be
in a range of any ation of a lower limit of 20>< 1 0'4 or , preferably 21 X 10'4 or
higher, more preferably 22><10~4 or higher, even more preferably 23 ><10'4 or higher, still more

27 X 1 0'4 or lower, more preferably '4 or lower, and most preferably 25 ><10'4 or lower.
For example, the weight ratio of the polyphenol(s) to the total amount of the extract
component(s) in the present invention (percentage by weight of the polyphenol(s)/percentage
by weight of the total amount of the extract component(s)) can be from ’4 to 50X10'4
inclusive, preferably from 2O><10'4 to 40X10'4 inclusive, more preferably from 20X 1 0'4 to
><10'4 inclusive. Further exemplary ranges of the weight ratio of the polyphenol(s) to the
total amount of the extract component(s) in the present invention (percentage by weight of
the polyphenol(s)/percentage by weight of the total amount of the extract component(s)) can
be from 20><10'4 to 50X10'4 inclusive, preferably from 20X 1 0”4 to 40><10'4 inclusive, more

inclusive, more preferably from 23 X104 to 27X10'4 inclusive, more preferably from 23 ><10'4
to 26X 10'4 inclusive, especially more ably from 24><10'4 to 26><10'4 inclusive, and most
preferably from 24X 10‘4 to 4 inclusive. No ng wort is found to contain the
polyphenol(s) at the above weight ratio.
A non-alcohol beer-taste beverage with a weight ratio of the polyphenol(s) to the total
amount of the extract component(s) that is lower than 20><10'4 is undesirable, since, although
its astringency is not so strong, its taste will lack Shimari. On the other hand, a weight ratio
of the polyphenol(s) to the total amount of the extract component(s) that is higher than
50><10'4 is also not desirable, since, although it adds Shimari in taste to the non—alcohol beer-
taste beverage, its astringency will be undesirably .
Further, the extract component(s) in the wort of the present invention can contain an
t component(s) derived from mugi. When the mugi—derived t component(s) are
contained, the total content of the mugi-derived extract component(s) can be in a range of any
combination of a lower limit of 0.1% by weight or higher, preferably 0.2% by weight or
higher, and an upper limit of2% by weight or lower, preferably 1% by weight or lower, more
preferably 0.8% by weight or lower, even more preferably 0.6% by weight or lower, still
more preferably 0.5% by weight or lower, still even more preferably 0.4% by weight or

inclusive, preferably from 0.1 to 1% by weight inclusive, and more preferably from 0.1 to
0.5% by weight inclusive. Further exemplary ranges of the total content of the mugi-
derived extract component(s), when such magi-derived extract component(s) are contained,
are from 0.1 to 2% by weight inclusive, preferably from 0.1 to 1% by weight inclusive, more
preferably from 0.1 to 0.8% by weight inclusive, even more preferably from 0.1 to 0.6% by
weight ive, even more preferably from 0.1 to 0.5% by weight ive, still more
preferably from 0.1 to 0.4% by weight ive, still even more preferably from 0.1 to
0.35% by weight inclusive, more preferably from 0.1 to 0.3% by weight inclusive, and most
preferably from 0.2 to 0.3% by weight ive. The total amount of the extract
ent(s) in wort can be measured according to the " Beer Analysis Methods of BCOJ
(2004.11.1 Revised ed.) 7.2 Extracts".
A non-alcohol beer-taste beverage can be obtained by adding degassed water,
carbon rich gas, seasoning ents and the like to the wort of the present invention.
That is, the wort of the present invention is useful as an intermediate to produce a non-
alcohol beer—taste beverage. The wort can be stored in the storage tank, container and the
like until its use. The wort can be stored at a normal temperature (25°C) or lower, but it is
preferable to cool wort during e to suppress degradation. Wort is cooled herein at, for
example, 20°C or lower, preferably 15°C or lower, and more preferably 10°C or lower.
Cooled wort is referred to particularly as cold wort. One embodiment of the use of wort in
the present invention ses processes of producing wort in a factory as an ediate
of a non—alcohol beer-taste beverage, filling the wort in a refrigerating container, delivering it
to other factories in this country or abroad, and producing a non—alcohol beer-taste beverage.
<Production Method of Non—alcohol Beer—taste Beverage>
As another aspect, the present invention provides a production method of non-
alcohol beer-taste beverage. Any means can be used in the production method as long as
the weight ratio of the polyphenol(s) to the total amount of the extract component(s) in the
non-alcohol beer—taste beverage produced is in a specific range. For example, the
tion method of non-alcohol beer—taste beverage of the t invention comprises a
—16—
wort preparation step and a product preparation step.
The wort preparation step as defined in the present specification comprises a
mashing step, which includes a saccharification step and a proteolysis step, a wort-filtering
step, and a wort-boiling step.
The mashing step es a saccharification step and a proteolysis step. The
saccharification step mentioned herein is a step of suspending and dissolving the carbon
source and/or the nitrogen source, that is derived from malt and the like crushed in a
pulverizer, in water to ose saccharides such as starch to generate sugar. The
lysis step is a step of decomposing protein, peptide and the like to generate amino acids
and oligopeptides.
The mashing step is typically carried out by mixing raw materials such as malt and
water, and sing the mixture at a given temperature for a given time. When using malt
as the raw material, the malt should be crushed malt.
The conditions of processing in the g step can be set so that the saccharide
content in wort obtained h the wort preparation step or the saccharide content in the
non-alcohol beer-taste beverage obtained through the wort preparation step and the product
preparation step is in a range of any combination of a lower limit of 0.1 g/100ml or higher,
preferably 0.2 g/100 ml or higher, and an upper limit of 2.0 g/100 ml or lower, preferably
1.0 g/100 ml or lower, more preferably 0.8 g/100 ml or lower, even more preferably
0.6 g/100 ml or lower, still more preferably 0.5 g/100 ml or lower, still even more preferably
0.4 g/100 ml or lower, more preferably 0.35 g/100 ml or lower, and most ably
0.3 g/100 ml or lower. The conditions of processing in the mashing step can be for example
set so that the saccharide content in wort obtained through the wort preparation step or the
saccharide content in the non-alcohol beer-taste beverage obtained through the wort
preparation step and the t preparation step is from 0.1 to 2.0 g/100 ml inclusive,
preferably from 0.1 to 1.0 g/100 ml ive, more preferably from 0.1 to 0.5 g/100 m1
inclusive. For example, the conditions of processing in the mashing step can further be set
so that the saccharide content in wort obtained h the wort preparation step or the
saccharide content in the non-alcohol beer—taste beverage obtained h the wort
preparation step and the product preparation step is from 0.1 to 2.0 g/100 ml inclusive,
preferably from 0.1 to 1.0 g/100 m1 inclusive, more preferably from 0.1 to 0.8 g/100 ml
inclusive, even more ably from 0.1 to 0.6 g/100 m1 inclusive, still more ably from
0.1 to 0.5 g/100 ml inclusive, still even more preferably from 0.1 to 0.4 g/100 ml inclusive,

0.3 g/100 ml inclusive, and most preferably from 0.2 to 0.3 g/100 m1 inclusive. A suitable
mashing pattern can be selected for the temperature of the mashing step according to the
flavor design of the marketable product. In the mashing step, an inherent enzyme derived
from malt can be used alone, or in ation with carbohydrase which is added to increase
the saccarification efficiency and to obtain the desired saccharide composition.
ary ingredients can also be added in the mashing step. Any material
commonly used in producing beer can be used as the secondary ingredient, such as corn
starch, corn grits, and rice.
Thewort filteration step in the present specification is a step of filtering the mash
after the mashing step.
The oiling step ned in the present specification is a step of adding hops
to a filtrate that is ed by the wort filteration step, and boiling the mixture. Hops
should preferably be added before the start of boiling, at the same time as the start of boiling,
or immediately after the start of boiling. Hops can be added all at once, or in successive
portions. Polyphenols can be added during the wort—boiling step, prior to the step of
obtaining wort or non-alcohol beer-taste beverage, to make the polyphenol content in the
obtained wort or non-alcohol beer-taste ge fall in a d range. For example, the
amount of hops to be added can be adjusted so that polyphenols derived from the hops are
added in a desired amount. Or, polyphenols that can be added as an additive can be added.
Such polyphenols include catechin, prodelphinidin B3, and procyanidin B3, procyanidin C2,
green tea polyphenols, oolong tea polyphenols, and an apple polyphenols.
The boiling condition in the wort-boiling step is set so that the weight ratio of the
—18-
polyphenol(s) to the total amount of the extract ent(s) falls within a specific range.
The weight ratio of the polyphenol(s) to the total amount of the extract component(s) in wort
after boiling ntage by weight of the polyphenol(s)/percentage by weight of the total
amount of the extract component(s)) can be in a range of any combination of a lower limit of

typically be set so that the weight ratio of the polyphenol(s) to the total amount of the extract
component(s) in wort afier boiling (percentage by weight of the polyphenol(s)/percentage by
weight of the total amount of the extract ent(s)) is from 20><10’4 to 50><10'4 inclusive,

EXAMPLES
The present invention is described in more detail by the Examples, without being
limited in scope by the Examples.
<Production of Non-Alcohol Beer—Taste Beverages>
Non-alcohol beer-taste beverages of the present invention whose weight ratio of the
polyphenol(s) to the total amount of the extract ent(s) are in the desired range
(Examples 1 to 7) and non~alcohol beer-taste beverages whose weight ratio of the
enol(s) t0 the total amount of the extract component(s) are outside the desired scope
(Comparative Examples 1 to 3) were produced by the following method.
Concerning Examples 1 to 7 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3, 20 kg of malt was
crushed to an appropriate grain size and put in a tank for preparation, then 120 L of warm
water was added to form a mash of about 50°C. The mash was kept at 50°C for 30 minutes,
followed by a gradual increase in the ature to n 65°C and 72°C to conduct
saccharification for 60 minutes. The mash after saccharification has completed was heated
to 77°C, then erred to the wort filtering tank for filteration to obtain a te.
Warm water was added to a portion of the obtained filtrate. The e ratio of
the filtrate and warm water was conditioned so that the total amount of the extract
component(s) at the end of the boiling is 0.4% by weight for Examples 2 to 5 and
Comparative Examples 1 and 3, 0.1% by weight for Example 1, 1% by weight for Example 6,
2% by weight for Example 7, 0.05% by weight for Comparative Example 2.
The mixtures of filtrate and warm water were each adjusted to a production scale of
100 L, and boiled at 100°C for 80 minutes after hops were added to it. The amounts of
extract hops and pelletized hops added were ed, while the ness unit was kept the
same, to produce many wort samples having the same total amount of the extract components
and different total polyphenol amounts (referred to hereinafter as the original wort samples).
Lees were separated from the boiled solution, and the remnant was cooled to about 2°C, then
original wort samples whose total amounts of the extract component(s) are the same were
mixed and conditioned to obtain conditioned wort s having the desired amounts of
polyphenols.
Appropriate amounts of antioxidants, flavors, and acidulants (added in an amount
that makes pH to be less than 4) were added to the conditioned wort samples before the wort
samples were stored for about 24 hours. Carbon acid gas was appropriately added in the
process. Then, the mixture was subjected to filtration and ization (heated at 65°C or
higher for 10 minutes) to obtain non-alcohol beer-taste beverages of the t invention
(Examples 1 to 7) and non-alcohol beer-taste ges (Comparative Examples 1 to 3).
The bitterness unit was measured according to the "Beer Analysis s BCOJ
111 Revised ed.) 7.12 Bitterness Units". Acid was added to the degassed sample,
which was then extracted by isooctane. The absorbance of the obtained isooctane layer was
measured against a control of pure isooctane at 275 nm, then the value was multiplied to a
factor to obtain the bitterness unit (BU).
The enol t was measured using " Beer Analysis Methods of BCOJ
(2004.11.1 Revised ed.) 7.11 Total Polyphenol".
<Assessment of F1avor>
The flavor of the non-alcohol beer—taste beverage in the present specification was
assessed using a sensory test based on the rating system. Five well-trained sensory panelists
rated the existence of "Shimari in the taste" and "astringency" on a scale of 1 to 4. The
ratings according to the following system were averaged: "identifiable"=4, ately
identifiable"=3, "weakly identifiable"=2, "not identifiable": 1. Then, a separate rating scale
of 1 to 3 was set forth according to the obtained average.
Average value 1.0 or higher to lower than 2.0 X;
e value 2.0 or higher to lower than 3.0 A;
Average value 3.0 or higher to 4.0 or lower 0.
<Assessment of the Extract Components>
The extract components in the ge was assessed in the Examples by the
following method. That is, the extract components were measured according to ”Beer
Analysis Methods of BCOJ (2004.11.1 Revised ed.) 7.2 Extracts".
<Assessment of Calories>
The calorie was calculated ing to the “On Analysis Methods, etc. for
Nutrients, etc. Listed in the Nutrition Labelling Standards” as published in association with
the Health Promotion Act.
<Assessment of Saccharides>
Saccharides were measured using the equation given in the the Nutrition Labelling
Standards for Foods (Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry Notice No. 176 in 2003).
<Assessment of Quality>
The flavor assessment result of Examples 1 to 7 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 is
shown in Table 1 below.

As shown in Table l, Shimari in the taste was sensed when the weight ratio of the
polyphenols to the total amount of the extract components (percentage by weight of the
polyphenol(s)/ percentage by weight of the total amount of the extract component(s)) is
20x104 to 50x10'4 (Examples 1 to 7).
The result of Comparative Example 1 was not desirable, since, although its
astringency was not so strong, its taste lacked Shimari. Likewise, the result of Comparative
Example 2 was not desirable, since, gh its astringency was not so strong, it has less
Shimarz‘ in the taste. Further, the result of Comparative Example 3 was not desirable, since,
gh it had Shimari in the taste, the astringency was undesirably strong.
Note that an assessment of quality similar to that performed for non-alcohol beer-taste
beverages was performed in Examples 1 to 7 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 at the time
when the conditioned wort samples were prepared. The conditioned wort samples had
Shimari in the taste in Examples 1 to 7, but the result of Comparative Example 1 was not
desirable, since, although its astringency was not so strong, it does not have Shimari in the
taste. Comparative e 2 was also not desirable, since, gh its astringency was
not so strong, it had less Shimari in the taste. Further, Comparative Example 3 was
undesirable, since although it had Shimari in the taste, its astringency was undesirably strong.
