Description

非発酵ビールテイスト飲料Non-fermented beer-taste beverage
 本発明は、発酵工程を経ずに製造されているにもかかわらず、酸味の突出が抑えられており、ビールらしい酸味を有する非発酵ビールテイスト飲料に関する。
 本願は、2015年3月4日に、日本に出願された特願2015-042489号に基づき優先権を主張し、その内容をここに援用する。
The present invention relates to a non-fermented beer-taste beverage having a sour taste that is similar to beer even though it is manufactured without undergoing a fermentation process.
This application claims priority based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2015-042489 filed in Japan on March 4, 2015, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
 近年の消費者の健康志向から、低カロリーや低糖質のビールテイスト飲料に対する需要が高まっており、ビール各社より非発酵のビールテイスト飲料が各種発売されている。原因の一つに、酵母による発酵工程を経ずに製造される非発酵ビールテイスト飲料は、使用する原料の組成を調整することにより、カロリーや糖質の含有量を所望の範囲内に調節しやすいことが挙げられる。 Demand for low-calorie and low-sugar beer-taste beverages is increasing due to consumer health in recent years, and various types of non-fermented beer-taste beverages have been released by beer companies. One of the causes is that non-fermented beer-taste beverages that are produced without undergoing a fermentation process with yeast can adjust the content of calories and carbohydrates within the desired range by adjusting the composition of the raw materials used. It is easy to mention.
 非発酵ビールテイスト飲料は、一般的に、麦芽エキス、ホップエキス、酸味料、及び甘味料等の原料を混合し、得られた調合液に炭酸ガスを導入することにより製造される。原料としてエタノールを混合することにより、アルコールを含有する非発酵のビールテイスト飲料が製造される。ホップエキスに代えて、苦味付与物質としてクワシンやナリンジンを用いる場合もある。酸味料としては、リン酸、クエン酸、リンゴ酸等の有機酸が汎用されている。 Non-fermented beer-taste beverages are generally produced by mixing raw materials such as malt extract, hop extract, acidulant, and sweetener, and introducing carbon dioxide into the resulting preparation. By mixing ethanol as a raw material, a non-fermented beer-taste beverage containing alcohol is produced. Instead of hop extract, quassin or naringin may be used as a bitterness-imparting substance. As acidulants, organic acids such as phosphoric acid, citric acid and malic acid are widely used.
 各原料を混合して得られる非発酵ビールテイスト飲料では、酸味料や甘味料の呈味が突出し、味のまとまりが弱い傾向がある。非発酵ビールテイスト飲料の味を調和させるために、各種方法が開示されている。例えば特許文献1及び2には、苦味物質とクエン酸及び/又はリンゴ酸を含有する非発酵ビールテイスト飲料において、不快な鋭い酸味の突出と苦味の減退による飲料全体の香味の単調化を改善するために、アルギン酸類等の増粘剤を少量添加したり、pHを3.7以下に低下させる方法が開示されている。 In non-fermented beer-taste beverages obtained by mixing each raw material, the taste of acidulants and sweeteners is prominent, and the taste set tends to be weak. Various methods have been disclosed to harmonize the taste of non-fermented beer-taste beverages. For example, in Patent Documents 1 and 2, in a non-fermented beer-taste beverage containing a bitter substance and citric acid and / or malic acid, the monotonization of the flavor of the whole beverage due to an unpleasant sharp sourness protrusion and bitterness reduction is improved. Therefore, a method of adding a small amount of a thickener such as alginic acid or lowering the pH to 3.7 or lower is disclosed.

 本発明は、発酵工程を経ずに製造されているにもかかわらず、酸味の突出が抑えられており、ビールらしい酸味を有する非発酵ビールテイスト飲料を提供することを目的とする。 The object of the present invention is to provide a non-fermented beer-taste beverage having a sour taste like beer that is suppressed in spite of being produced without undergoing a fermentation process.
 本発明者らは、上記課題を解決すべく鋭意研究した結果、非発酵ビールテイスト飲料において酸味料として一般的に使用されているリン酸、クエン酸及びリンゴ酸などの酸味料ではなく、グルコン酸及びフィチン酸を併用することによって、必要なpHは保持しながら、突出する酸味を低減させ、よりビールらしい酸味を付与できることを見出し、本発明を完成させた。 As a result of diligent research to solve the above problems, the present inventors have found that gluconic acid is not an acidulant such as phosphoric acid, citric acid and malic acid, which is generally used as an acidulant in non-fermented beer-taste beverages. In addition, by using phytic acid together, it was found that the projecting sourness can be reduced while maintaining the necessary pH, and a beer-like sourness can be imparted, thereby completing the present invention.

 また、本発明及び本願明細書における非発酵ビールテイスト飲料とは、発酵工程を経ずに製造される飲料であって、ビールらしさと炭酸ガスによる発泡性を有する飲料を意味する。非発酵ビールテイスト飲料は、アルコール飲料であってもよく、エタノール含有量が0.05容量%未満であるいわゆるノンアルコール飲料であってもよく、エタノール含有量が1容量%未満であるいわゆるローアルコール飲料であってもよい。具体的には、ビール、発泡酒、ローアルコール発泡性飲料、ノンアルコールビール等が挙げられる。 In addition, the non-fermented beer-taste beverage in the present invention and the present specification means a beverage produced without going through a fermentation process, and means a beverage having a beer character and a foaming property by carbon dioxide gas. The non-fermented beer-taste beverage may be an alcoholic beverage, a so-called non-alcoholic beverage having an ethanol content of less than 0.05% by volume, and a so-called low alcohol having an ethanol content of less than 1% by volume. It may be a beverage. Specific examples include beer, sparkling liquor, low alcohol sparkling beverage, non-alcoholic beer and the like.
 本発明に係る非発酵ビールテイスト飲料は、グルコン酸及びフィチン酸を含有することを特徴とする。クエン酸やリンゴ酸による酸味は鋭い先味であるため、これらを酸味料とした非発酵ビールテイスト飲料では、酸味が突出してしまう。また、酸味料としてグルコン酸のみを用いた場合には、水っぽく頼りない酸味となり、酸味料としてフィチン酸のみを用いた場合には、雑味と渋味を伴うだらっとした酸味があり、いずれもビールらしさに劣る。本発明に係る非発酵ビールテイスト飲料は、グルコン酸及びフィチン酸を併用するため、必要なpHは保持しつつ、酸味の突出が低減され、よりビールらしい酸味を有する。なお、「ビールらしい酸味」とは、不快な突出した酸味がなく、雑味もないが、酸味による適度な刺激(抑揚)があることを意味する。 The non-fermented beer-taste beverage according to the present invention is characterized by containing gluconic acid and phytic acid. Since the acidity by citric acid or malic acid is a sharp tip, the acidity is prominent in non-fermented beer-taste beverages using these as acidulants. In addition, when only gluconic acid is used as an acidulant, it becomes a watery and unreliable acidity, and when only phytic acid is used as an acidulant, there is a gentle acidity with miscellaneous taste and astringency, Is inferior to beer. Since the non-fermented beer-taste beverage according to the present invention uses gluconic acid and phytic acid in combination, the sour protrusion is reduced while maintaining the necessary pH, and has a more beer-like sourness. In addition, “beer-like acidity” means that there is no unpleasant protruding acidity and there is no miscellaneous taste, but there is an appropriate stimulus (inflection) due to acidity.
 グルコン酸に由来する酸味とフィチン酸に由来する酸味とのバランスがよく、ビールらしい酸味を達成しやすいことから、本発明に係る非発酵ビールテイスト飲料におけるグルコン酸及びフィチン酸の含有量は、グルコン酸に対するフィチン酸の濃度比率([フィチン酸濃度]/[グルコン酸濃度])が0.10~0.70の範囲内であることが好ましく、0.10~0.60の範囲内であることがより好ましく、0.15~0.50の範囲内であることがさらに好ましく、0.30~0.50の範囲内であることがよりさらに好ましい。 Since the balance between the acidity derived from gluconic acid and the acidity derived from phytic acid is good and it is easy to achieve a beer-like acidity, the content of gluconic acid and phytic acid in the non-fermented beer-taste beverage according to the present invention is glucone. The concentration ratio of phytic acid to acid ([phytic acid concentration] / [gluconic acid concentration]) is preferably in the range of 0.10 to 0.70, preferably in the range of 0.10 to 0.60. Is more preferably in the range of 0.15 to 0.50, still more preferably in the range of 0.30 to 0.50.

The content of phytic acid in the non-fermented beer-taste beverage according to the present invention is preferably 0.010 to 0.037 mass / volume% (100 to 370 ppm), and 0.013 to 0.030 mass / volume. %, More preferably from 0.015 to 0.030 mass / volume%, still more preferably from 0.026 to 0.030 mass / volume%.
 本発明に係る非発酵ビールテイスト飲料は、グルコン酸及びフィチン酸に加えて、さらにリン酸を含有することも好ましい。これらの3種の有機酸を併用することにより、より酸味の突出が抑えられ、味のバランスがとりやすくなる。本発明に係る非発酵ビールテイスト飲料におけるリン酸の含有量としては、0.005~0.020質量/容量%(50~200ppm)であることが好ましく、0.010~0.018質量/容量%であることがより好ましく、0.010~0.015質量/容量%であることがさらに好ましい。 The non-fermented beer-taste beverage according to the present invention preferably further contains phosphoric acid in addition to gluconic acid and phytic acid. By using these three kinds of organic acids in combination, the sourness is prevented from protruding more easily, and the balance of the taste becomes easier. The phosphoric acid content in the non-fermented beer-taste beverage according to the present invention is preferably 0.005 to 0.020 mass / volume% (50 to 200 ppm), and 0.010 to 0.018 mass / volume. %, More preferably 0.010 to 0.015 mass / volume%.
 本発明に係る非発酵ビールテイスト飲料のpHは、3.0~4.5であることが好ましく、3.0以上4.0未満がより好ましく、3.5以上4.0未満がさらに好ましい。飲料のpHが当該範囲内であることにより、グルコン酸及びフィチン酸をビールらしい酸味を達成するために充分な量含有させた場合でも、味のバランスを安定して達成させることができる。 The pH of the non-fermented beer-taste beverage according to the present invention is preferably from 3.0 to 4.5, more preferably from 3.0 to less than 4.0, and even more preferably from 3.5 to less than 4.0. When the pH of the beverage is within the range, even when gluconic acid and phytic acid are contained in sufficient amounts to achieve a beer-like acidity, a balance of taste can be stably achieved.
 本発明に係る非発酵ビールテイスト飲料は、グルコン酸等に加えて、大豆ペプチドを含有することが好ましい。大豆ペプチドを含有させることにより、飲料のpHをより安定させることができる。また、大豆ペプチドは、起泡剤としても機能し得る。なお、大豆ペプチドは、例えば、分離大豆タンパクカードを酵素等により分解し、得られたタンパク分解物水溶液にクエン酸等の酸を加えてpHを酸性に調整して等電点沈殿を生じさせ、これを珪藻土濾過して不溶物を除去することにより調製できる。また、分離大豆タンパクカードは、例えば、大豆を脱脂した脱脂大豆を水抽出して酸沈殿させることにより調製することができる。 The non-fermented beer-taste beverage according to the present invention preferably contains soy peptide in addition to gluconic acid and the like. By containing soy peptide, the pH of the beverage can be further stabilized. The soy peptide can also function as a foaming agent. In addition, the soy peptide, for example, decomposes the separated soy protein curd with an enzyme or the like, and adjusts the pH to acidic by adding an acid such as citric acid to the obtained aqueous solution of proteolysate to cause isoelectric point precipitation, This can be prepared by filtering the diatomaceous earth to remove insoluble matter. Moreover, the isolation | separation soybean protein curd can be prepared by water-extracting the defatted soybean which defatted soybean, and carrying out acid precipitation, for example.
 本発明に係る非発酵ビールテイスト飲料は、さらに水溶性食物繊維を含有する事が好ましい。水溶性食物繊維とは、水に溶解し、かつヒトの消化酵素により消化されない又は消化され難い炭水化物を意味する。水溶性食物繊維は、コク感を高めることができる。また、水溶性食物繊維は、さらに起泡剤としても機能するため、別途起泡剤を配合せずとも泡品質のよい非発酵ビールテイスト飲料が得られる。水溶性食物繊維としては、例えば、大豆食物繊維、ポリデキストロース、難消化性デキストリン、ガラクトマンナン、イヌリン、グアーガム分解物、ペクチン、アラビアゴム等が挙げられる。本発明に係る非発酵ビールテイスト飲料としては、大豆食物繊維を含有するものが好ましい。 The non-fermented beer-taste beverage according to the present invention preferably further contains water-soluble dietary fiber. By water-soluble dietary fiber is meant a carbohydrate that is soluble in water and is not or is difficult to digest by human digestive enzymes. Water-soluble dietary fiber can increase the richness. Moreover, since the water-soluble dietary fiber further functions as a foaming agent, a non-fermented beer-taste beverage with good foam quality can be obtained without adding a separate foaming agent. Examples of the water-soluble dietary fiber include soybean dietary fiber, polydextrose, indigestible dextrin, galactomannan, inulin, guar gum degradation product, pectin, gum arabic and the like.

Specific examples of the esters include ethyl isobutyrate, ethyl-2-methyl butyrate, and ethyl isovalerate.
 ノンアルコール飲料よりもアルコール飲料のほうが、酸味や甘味、苦味等の味がまとまりやすい傾向にある。このため、本発明に係る非発酵ビールテイスト飲料は、エタノールを含有するアルコール飲料であってもよいが、グルコン酸及びフィチン酸の併用によるビールらしい酸味の達成という効果がより充分に発揮されることから、エタノール含有量が0.05容量%未満のいわゆるノンアルコール飲料であることが好ましく、原料としてエタノールを使用せずに製造された非発酵ビールテイスト飲料であることがより好ましい。 ア ル コ ー ル Alcoholic beverages tend to have more sour, sweet, and bitter tastes than non-alcoholic beverages. For this reason, the non-fermented beer-taste beverage according to the present invention may be an alcoholic beverage containing ethanol, but the effect of achieving a sour taste like beer by the combined use of gluconic acid and phytic acid is more fully exhibited. Therefore, a so-called non-alcoholic beverage having an ethanol content of less than 0.05% by volume is preferred, and a non-fermented beer-taste beverage produced without using ethanol as a raw material is more preferred.
 本発明に係る非発酵ビールテイスト飲料がエタノールを含有する場合、飲料中のエタノール濃度は1容量%以上10容量%未満が好ましく、1~9容量%がより好ましく、1~8容量%がさらに好ましく、1~7容量%がよりさらに好ましい。なお、エタノールは、酒類の製造において一般的に用いられている原料エタノールが用いられる。 When the non-fermented beer-taste beverage according to the present invention contains ethanol, the ethanol concentration in the beverage is preferably 1% by volume or more and less than 10% by volume, more preferably 1 to 9% by volume, even more preferably 1 to 8% by volume. 1-7% by volume is even more preferable. In addition, the raw material ethanol generally used in manufacture of liquor is used for ethanol.
 本発明に係る非発酵ビールテイスト飲料は、例えば、各原料を混合する方法(調合法)によって製造できる。具体的には、以下の工程(a)~(b)を有する製造方法により製造し得る。
(a)原料を混合することにより、調合液を調製する工程;及び(b)前記工程(a)により得られた調合液に炭酸ガスを加える工程。
The non-fermented beer taste drink which concerns on this invention can be manufactured by the method (preparation method) which mixes each raw material, for example. Specifically, it can be produced by a production method having the following steps (a) to (b).
(A) a step of preparing a preparation liquid by mixing raw materials; and (b) a step of adding carbon dioxide gas to the preparation liquid obtained by the step (a).
 まず、工程(a)において、原料を混合することにより、調合液を調製する。工程(a)においては、炭酸ガス以外の全ての原料を混合した調合液を調製することが好ましい。各原料を混合する順番は特に限定されるものではない。原料水に、全ての原料を同時に添加してもよく、先に添加した原料を溶解させた後に残る原料を添加する等、順次原料を添加してもよい。また、例えば、原料水に、固形(例えば粉末状や顆粒状)の原料及びアルコールを混合してもよく、固形原料を予め水溶液としておき、これらの水溶液、及びアルコール、必要に応じて原料水を混合してもよい。 First, in step (a), a mixed solution is prepared by mixing raw materials. In the step (a), it is preferable to prepare a mixed solution in which all raw materials other than carbon dioxide gas are mixed. The order of mixing the raw materials is not particularly limited. All the raw materials may be added simultaneously to the raw material water, or the raw materials may be added sequentially, such as by adding the raw materials remaining after dissolving the previously added raw materials. In addition, for example, raw material water may be mixed with solid (for example, powdered or granular) raw material and alcohol. The solid raw material is previously prepared as an aqueous solution, and these aqueous solution, alcohol, and raw water as required. You may mix.
 工程(a)において調製された調合液に、不溶物が生じた場合には、工程(b)の前に、当該調合液に対して濾過等の不溶物を除去する処理を行うことが好ましい。不溶物除去処理は、特に限定されるものではなく、濾過法、遠心分離法等の当該技術分野で通常用いられている方法で行うことができる。本発明においては、不溶物は濾過除去することが好ましく、珪藻土濾過により除去することがより好ましい。 When an insoluble matter is generated in the preparation liquid prepared in the step (a), it is preferable to perform a process of removing insoluble matters such as filtration on the preparation liquid before the step (b). The insoluble matter removal treatment is not particularly limited, and can be performed by a method usually used in the technical field such as a filtration method or a centrifugal separation method. In the present invention, insoluble matters are preferably removed by filtration, and more preferably removed by diatomaceous earth filtration.
 次いで、工程(b)として、工程(a)により得られた調合液に炭酸ガスを加える。これにより、非発酵ビールテイスト飲料を得る。炭酸を加えることによって、ビールと同様の爽快感が付与される。なお、炭酸ガスの添加は、常法により行うことができる。例えば、工程(a)により得られた調合液、及び炭酸水を混合してよく、工程(a)により得られた調合液に炭酸ガスを直接加えて溶け込ませてもよい。 Next, as a step (b), carbon dioxide gas is added to the preparation liquid obtained in the step (a). Thereby, a non-fermented beer taste drink is obtained. By adding carbonic acid, a refreshing feeling similar to that of beer is given. Carbon dioxide can be added by a conventional method. For example, the preparation liquid obtained by the step (a) and carbonated water may be mixed, and carbon dioxide gas may be directly added and dissolved in the preparation liquid obtained by the step (a).
 炭酸ガスを添加した後、得られた非発酵ビールテイスト飲料に対して、さらに濾過等の不溶物を除去する処理を行ってもよい。不溶物除去処理は、特に限定されるものではなく、当該技術分野で通常用いられている方法で行うことができる。 After adding carbon dioxide gas, the obtained non-fermented beer-taste beverage may be further subjected to a treatment for removing insoluble matters such as filtration.

 この結果、飲料のpHはほぼ同程度であるにもかかわらず、グルコン酸とフィチン酸をそれぞれ単独で用いたサンプル2-1及び2-9よりも、両者を併用したサンプルのほうがビールらしい酸味を有していた。また、[フィチン酸濃度]/[グルコン酸濃度]が0.150~0.476の範囲内であるサンプル2-3~2-6は、[フィチン酸濃度]/[グルコン酸濃度]が当該範囲外であるサンプル2-2、2-7、及び2-8に比べて、よりビールらしい酸味を有しており、特に[フィチン酸濃度]/[グルコン酸濃度]が0.388~0.476の範囲内であるサンプル2-5及び2-6は、味のバランスが良好であった。 As a result, although the pH of the beverage was almost the same, the samples using both gluconic acid and phytic acid alone had a beer-like acidity rather than the samples 2-1 and 2-9. Had. Samples 2-3 to 2-6 in which [Phytic acid concentration] / [Gluconic acid concentration] are in the range of 0.150 to 0.476 have [Phytic acid concentration] / [Gluconic acid concentration] in the range. Compared to samples 2-2, 2-7, and 2-8 which are outside, it has a beer-like acidity, and [phytic acid concentration] / [gluconic acid concentration] is 0.388 to 0.476 in particular. Samples 2-5 and 2-6, which are within the above range, had a good taste balance.

 仕込槽に、粉砕麦芽30kgと温水100Lを投入し、50℃から76℃の範囲の温度でタンパク休止及び糖化を行った。得られた糖化液を濾過槽であるロイターにて濾過し、その後、煮沸釜に移して、液糖を主とする副原料10kgとホップ50gを添加し、液量を160Lに調整した上で60分間煮沸した。煮沸後の麦汁に、蒸発分の温水を追加し、ワールプール槽にて熱トルーブを除去した後、プレートクーラーを用いて3℃まで冷却し170Lの冷麦汁を得た。この冷麦汁に脱気水を加えて希釈した後、珪藻土を用いて濾過することによって清澄な麦汁を得た。この清澄な麦汁に、2.9ガスボリュームとなるように炭酸ガスを溶解させ、アルコールを含まない非発酵ビールテイスト飲料(ベース液)を得た。
[Example 3]
30 kg of pulverized malt and 100 L of warm water were added to the charging tank, and protein resting and saccharification were performed at a temperature in the range of 50 ° C to 76 ° C. The obtained saccharified solution is filtered with a Reuter, which is a filtration tank, and then transferred to a boiling kettle. After adding 10 kg of auxiliary raw materials mainly containing liquid sugar and 50 g of hops, the liquid volume is adjusted to 160 L, and then 60 Boiled for a minute. Hot water for evaporation was added to the wort after boiling, and the hot stove was removed in a whirlpool tank, and then cooled to 3 ° C. using a plate cooler to obtain 170 L of cold wort. The cold wort was diluted with deaerated water, and then filtered through diatomaceous earth to obtain a clear wort. Carbon dioxide gas was dissolved in this clear wort so as to have a gas volume of 2.9 to obtain a non-fermented beer-taste beverage (base solution) containing no alcohol.
 得られたベース液に、最終濃度が表6に記載の濃度となるようにリン酸、リンゴ酸、クエン酸、グルコン酸、及びフィチン酸をそれぞれ添加することによって、サンプル3-1~3-2を調製した。
 各サンプルのビールらしい酸味について、実施例2と同様にして評価した。各サンプルの評価結果を、酸味が強いと指摘した専門パネルの数(表中、「酸味の指摘人数」)と専門パネルによるフリーコメントと共に表6にそれぞれ示す。
Samples 3-1 to 3-2 were added to the obtained base solution by adding phosphoric acid, malic acid, citric acid, gluconic acid, and phytic acid so that the final concentrations were as shown in Table 6. Was prepared.
The sour taste of each sample was evaluated in the same manner as in Example 2. The evaluation results of each sample are shown in Table 6 together with the number of specialized panels that pointed out that the acidity is strong (in the table, “Number of people who indicated acidity”) and free comments by the specialized panel.

 この結果、リン酸とリンゴ酸とクエン酸を用いたサンプル3-1では、酸味がやや強く、ビールらしくない酸味であったのに対して、リン酸とグルコン酸とフィチン酸を用いたサンプル3-2では、酸味が突出しておらず、ビールらしい酸味であった。なお、サンプル3-1では、リンゴ酸とクエン酸を用いたにもかかわらず、麦汁を原料としていない実施例1のサンプル1-3、1-5、及び1-9に比べて、酸味の突出がやや抑えられていた。これは、麦芽に由来する様々な成分によって、リンゴ酸とクエン酸の酸味がやや抑えられたためと推察される。 As a result, sample 3-1 using phosphoric acid, malic acid, and citric acid had a slightly strong acidity and was not like beer, but sample 3 using phosphoric acid, gluconic acid, and phytic acid. In -2, the acidity did not stand out, and it was a beer-like acidity. Sample 3-1 was sour in comparison with Samples 1-3, 1-5, and 1-9 of Example 1, which did not use wort as a raw material, despite using malic acid and citric acid. The protrusion was somewhat suppressed. This is presumably because the acidity of malic acid and citric acid was somewhat suppressed by various components derived from malt.
