1%ステビア、0.5%アセスルファムカリウム、0.1%アスパルテーム、0.05%スクラロースを水にそれぞれ含有せしめた表13に示す水溶液を作製した(以下、「1%ステビア入り水溶液」、「0.5%アセスルファムカリウム入り水溶液」、「0.1%アスパルテーム入り水溶液」、「0.05%スクラロース入り水溶液」ともいう)。表13に示す配合で、上記で調製した実施例14の油脂水抽出物を添加して得られた水溶液について、官能評価を行った。具体的には、得られた水溶液を食したときの甘味の質と後味のえぐ味マスキングを、各高甘味度甘味料入り水溶液に油脂水抽出物の替わりに比較例3として水を添加したものを対照1、グラニュ糖を5%添加したものを対照2として、評価した。官能評価は2名の専門パネルで行い、以下の基準で示す0、1、2、3の評点が1cm間隔で6cmの線分上に描かれた評価用紙を使用して行なった。具体的には、専門パネルの評価を任意にその線分上にプロットしてもらい、評点0からの長さを0.1cm単位で計測して、その長さを、各専門パネルの評価値とした以下の基準で点数付けして平均値を求めた。なお、ステビア又はアセスルファムカリウムを含む調製例8-1~8-4のみ後味のえぐ味の評価を行なった。
(甘味の質)
3 砂糖の甘さに非常に近い(対照2と同等)
2 砂糖の甘さに近い
1 砂糖の甘味とやや近い
0 砂糖の甘味と異なる(対照1と同等)
3 後味のえぐ味が対照1に比べて非常に弱い、もしくは無い(対照2と同等)
2 後味のえぐ味が対照1に比べて弱い
1 後味のえぐ味が対照1に比べてやや弱い
0 後味のえぐ味が対照1と同等もしくは強い
<カロテノイド分解物を含有する水溶液の粉末化>
試験例8で調製したカロテノイド分解物を含有する水溶液を粉末化した。具体的には、試験例8で調製した水溶液にデキストリンをその濃度が65%(w/w)となるように添加し、60℃でホモジナイザーにて攪拌して加温溶解後、噴霧乾燥した。以下、これを実施例15の油脂水抽出物粉末として試験に用いた。また、対照として、試験例8で調製した水溶液を添加しないでデキストリンのみで噴霧乾燥したものを調製し、以下、比較例4として試験に用いた。
1%ステビア入りヨーグルト、0.5%アセスルファムカリウム入りヨーグルト、0.1%アスパルテーム入りヨーグルト、0.05%スクラロース入りヨーグルトそれぞれに、上記で調製した実施例15の油脂水抽出物粉末又は比較例4のデキストリン粉末を、表14に示す配合で含有せしめて調製したヨーグルトについて、試験例1と同様の方法で官能評価を行った。なお、表14に示すとおり、官能評価は2名の専門パネルで行い、試験例1での対照1に替え、以下の高甘味度甘味料入りヨーグルトをそれぞれ対照1に設定した;調製例9-1:比較例4としてデキストリン粉末を含む1%ステビア入りヨーグルト、調製例9-5:比較例4としてデキストリン粉末を含む0.5%アセスルファムカリウム入りヨーグルト、調製例9-9:比較例4としてデキストリン粉末を含む0.1%アスパルテーム入りヨーグルト、調製例9-13:比較例4としてデキストリン粉末を含む0.05%スクラロース入りヨーグルト。また、ステビア又はアセスルファムカリウムを含む調製例9-1~9-8のみ後味のえぐ味の評価を行なった。
ゼロカロリーコーラ(サントリーフーズ株式会社社製「ペプシ ジャパンコーラ ゼロ」)に、上記で調製した実施例15の油脂水抽出物粉末又は比較例4のデキストリン粉末を表15に示す配合で添加して十分に攪拌し、4℃に冷却し、試験例4と同様の方法で官能評価を行った。なお、表15に示すとおり、官能評価は2名の専門パネルで行い、試験例4での対照1に替え、比較例4のデキストリン粉末を含む調製例10-1のゼロカロリーコーラを対照1に設定した。
ステビア50gに、レッドパーム油を加熱処理することにより調製したカロテノイド分解物を含む実施例6の油脂組成物を0.5g混合し、高甘味度甘味料組成物を製造した。
