本発明は容器詰めコーヒー飲料に関し、より具体的には、苦味が抑制されており、かつ連続して飲用した場合にもすっきり感のある容器詰めコーヒー飲料に関する。
The present invention relates to a packaged coffee beverage, and more specifically, to a packaged coffee beverage with suppressed bitterness and a refreshing feeling even when drunk continuously.
コーヒー飲料は嗜好品として広く愛好されており、その需要もますます増大すると共にニーズの多様化が進んでいる。特に近年においては、中容量(350~650ml程度)のコーヒー飲料を仕事中や休憩中に少量ずつ長時間かけて飲むスタイル(「チビダラ飲み」とも称する)が広く見受けられるようになっている。このようなコーヒー飲料は、小容量(200ml程度)のコーヒー飲料とは異なり、チビダラ飲みに適した香味、すなわち、苦味が抑えられており、かつ飲み続けても飽きのこないすっきりとした味わいが好まれる。
Coffee beverages are widely loved as a luxury item, and demand for them is increasing, and needs are diversifying. Especially in recent years, a style of drinking medium-volume (about 350 to 650 ml) coffee beverages little by little over a long period of time during work or breaks (also called "little drink") has become widely seen. Unlike coffee beverages with a small volume (about 200 ml), such coffee beverages have a flavor suitable for drinking slowly, that is, have a suppressed bitterness and a refreshing taste that does not get tired even after continuous drinking. be

Methods for suppressing the bitterness of coffee beverages have been reported in the past. is known (Patent Document 1).
上記の通り、コーヒー飲料の苦味改善技術は以前から知られていたが、コーヒー飲料中のグアイアコールの濃度が低すぎると、苦味自体は抑えられるものの、連続して飲用するとコーヒーの渋味が口内に溜まることですっきり感が欠けてしまい、チビダラ飲みのような飲用スタイルに適した創味設計が難しいという問題があった。そこで、本発明は、苦味が抑えられており、かつ連続して飲用した場合にもすっきり感のあるコーヒー飲料を提供することを目的とする。
As described above, techniques for improving the bitterness of coffee beverages have been known for some time. There was a problem that it was difficult to create a taste design suitable for a drinking style such as a small drink because it lacked a refreshing feeling due to accumulation. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a coffee beverage that has a suppressed bitterness and gives a refreshing feeling even when continuously drunk.
本発明者らは、上記課題を解決するために鋭意検討を重ねた結果、コーヒー飲料において、所定量のグアイアコールとピリジンとを含有させることで、コーヒー飲料の苦味が抑えられ、かつ連続して飲用した場合にもすっきり感のある飽きのこないコーヒー飲料が得られることを見出し、本発明を完成するに至った。
As a result of intensive studies to solve the above problems, the present inventors have found that by adding predetermined amounts of guaiacol and pyridine to the coffee beverage, the bitterness of the coffee beverage can be suppressed and the coffee beverage can be drunk continuously. The present inventors have found that a coffee beverage with a refreshing feeling that does not get tired can be obtained even when it is boiled, and have completed the present invention.

The details of the present invention will be specifically described below with reference to experimental examples, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Also, in this specification, unless otherwise stated, numerical ranges are described as including their endpoints.
中煎りに焙煎したアラビカ種(産地:グアテマラ)のコーヒー豆(L値:24)を粉砕し、粉砕コーヒー豆の4倍の重量の湯を抽出湯として用い、抽出器で50℃にて抽出処理を行った。コーヒー豆量の約2倍の質量になったところで抽出を終了し、抽出液を20倍希釈して、ベース飲料を作製した。得られたベース飲料のグアイアコール含有量を測定したところ、10ppbであった。また、ベース飲料中のピリジン含有量は100ppbであり、フルフラール含有量は200ppbであった。このベース飲料に、グアイアコール、ピリジン及びフルフラールを添加して、飲料中のグアイアコール、ピリジン及びフルフラールの最終含有量が下表に示した量となるように各種飲料を調製した。また、得られた飲料は全て500mlのPETボトル容器に充填して、容器詰めコーヒー飲料とした。
Arabica coffee beans (locality: Guatemala) roasted to medium roast (L value: 24) are ground, and extracted at 50 ° C. using hot water four times the weight of ground coffee beans as extraction hot water. processed. The extraction was terminated when the mass reached about twice the amount of coffee beans, and the extract was diluted 20-fold to prepare a base beverage. The guaiacol content of the resulting base beverage was measured to be 10 ppb. Also, the pyridine content in the base beverage was 100 ppb and the furfural content was 200 ppb. Guaiacol, pyridine and furfural were added to this base beverage to prepare various beverages so that the final contents of guaiacol, pyridine and furfural in the beverage were as shown in the table below. In addition, all of the obtained beverages were filled into 500 ml PET bottle containers to prepare packaged coffee beverages.
次に、各種飲料の官能評価を実施した。官能評価としては、専門パネラー3名にて、各種飲料を350ml飲用した後の苦味、渋味、及びコクに関する評価を行った。なお、官能評価は複数日にかけて行った。
Next, we conducted sensory evaluations of various beverages. As the sensory evaluation, 3 expert panelists evaluated the bitterness, astringency, and body after drinking 350 ml of various beverages. In addition, the sensory evaluation was performed over several days.
飲用直後の苦味の評価は、各専門パネラーがそれぞれ3点評価(〇:苦味を感じない、△苦味を少し感じる、×:苦味を強く感じる)を行い、全員の結果が一致する場合はその評価を、一致しない場合は協議にて評価を決定した。
Evaluation of bitterness immediately after drinking is performed by each expert panelist with a 3-point evaluation (○: no bitterness, △ slightly bitterness, ×: strong bitterness). If they do not match, the evaluation was decided through discussion.
また、渋味の評価は、各専門パネラーが以下の基準に従ってそれぞれ5点評価を行い、その平均点を評価点とした。
1点:渋味を強く感じる(サンプル1と同程度又はそれよりも強い渋味)
2点:渋味を感じる
3点:渋味を少しだけ感じる(サンプル2と同程度の渋味)
4点:渋味をほとんど感じない
5点:渋味を全く感じない(サンプル3と同程度の渋味) The astringent taste was evaluated by each expert panelist on a 5-point scale according to the following criteria, and the average score was used as the evaluation score.
1 point: strong astringency (astringency comparable to or stronger than sample 1)
2 points: astringent taste 3 points: slightly astringent taste (same level of astringency as sample 2)
4 points: Almost no astringency felt 5 points: No astringency felt at all (same astringency as sample 3)
1点:渋味を強く感じる(サンプル1と同程度又はそれよりも強い渋味)
2点:渋味を感じる
3点:渋味を少しだけ感じる(サンプル2と同程度の渋味)
4点:渋味をほとんど感じない
5点:渋味を全く感じない(サンプル3と同程度の渋味) The astringent taste was evaluated by each expert panelist on a 5-point scale according to the following criteria, and the average score was used as the evaluation score.
1 point: strong astringency (astringency comparable to or stronger than sample 1)
2 points: astringent taste 3 points: slightly astringent taste (same level of astringency as sample 2)
4 points: Almost no astringency felt 5 points: No astringency felt at all (same astringency as sample 3)
また、コクの評価は各専門パネラーがそれぞれ3点評価(〇:コクを感じる、△コクをあまり感じない、×:コクを感じない)を行い、全員の結果が一致する場合はその評価を、一致しない場合は協議にて評価を決定した。
In addition, each expert panelist evaluates the richness of each product on a 3-point scale (○: feels rich, △ does not feel much richness, ×: does not feel richness). If they did not agree, the evaluation was decided through discussion.
評価結果は上記の通りとなった。グアイアコール含有量が20ppb、50ppb、80ppbでピリジン含有量が100ppbの飲料においては、苦味は感じないが渋味が生じるという課題があることがわかった。そして、これらの飲料にピリジンを添加してピリジン含有量が200~10000ppbとなるようにすると、渋味が抑制される傾向があることがわかった。さらに、フルフラール含有量が500~4000ppbとなるようにフルフラールを添加すると、コクが感じられることがわかった。
The evaluation results are as above. Beverages containing 20 ppb, 50 ppb, and 80 ppb of guaiacol and containing 100 ppb of pyridine did not have a bitter taste, but had an astringent taste. It was also found that adding pyridine to these beverages so that the pyridine content is 200 to 10,000 ppb tends to suppress the astringency. Furthermore, it was found that when furfural was added so that the furfural content was 500 to 4000 ppb, richness was felt.
