JPS6192554A - Highly sparkling refreshing drink and its preparation - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To prepare a novel refreshing drink having high foamability similar to beer, by dissolving a saponin component and CO2 gas in water, fruit juice, and other stock liquid. CONSTITUTION:Powdery licorice or an alcoholic extract of licorice containing a saponin component is dissolved in the above liquid used as a raw material. When powdery licorice is used as a saponin source, it is added directly to the liquid, dissolved in the liquid under stirring, and filtered to remove the precipitate. In the case of using the alcoholic extraction liquid, finely chopped licorice is immersed in an alcohol having a concentration of about 35% for a long period, and the extract liquid obtained by the filtration of the mixture is added to the stock liquid. The taste and flavor of the product can be further improved by dissolving a proper amount of glucose in the alcohol in the above immersion process. CO2 gas is dissolved under pressure in the stock liquid containing the saponin component to obtain the objective highly sparkling refreshing drink.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [M-: Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a highly sparkling soft drink that has a heel-like foam and a unique flavor.

(Technology of bE sl-) Recently, with the demand for "MI-J-" in the coastal layer, so-called soft drinks with carbon dioxide content of 1% alcohol content are increasing.
Inhibition angles of less than 1% (it/i) have become extremely abundant, but all of the 11 types of soft drinks to date have had a low degree of foaming, and it has been difficult to provide sustained foaming like that of Heal. could not.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

The present invention provides a novel soft drink with beer-like high foaming properties that has never been developed before by dissolving saponin components and carbon dioxide into water, fruit juice, and other raw material liquids, and a method for producing the same. It is.

[Means for solving problems]

The highly sparkling soft drink provided by the present invention is composed of a raw material liquid containing a saponin component and carbon dioxide gas.

A wide range of raw material liquids can be used, including various fruit juices, water, and other undiluted liquids of soft drinks.

Saponin components are substances known as plant glycosides.
Contained in licorice, used for medicinal purposes. Therefore, for the purpose of the present invention, it is desirable to apply it in the form of licorice or licorice extract.

The blending ratio of the saponin component to the raw material liquid is appropriately determined in consideration of the degree of foaming and flavor.

As the carbon dioxide gas, carbon dioxide gas normally used for soft drinks or by-product carbon dioxide gas produced by fermentation is used, and other sweeteners, acidulants, etc. may be added as necessary.

The highly sparkling soft drink having the above composition is produced as follows.

First, powdered licorice or alcoholic licorice extract is mixed and dissolved in the raw material liquid. Powdered I: When using l-grass, add 1 η of the grass to 1η of the raw material i'e and stir to give R4%'6. If a precipitate forms, it is removed by p-overtreatment.

In addition, when using an alcoholic extract, the extract obtained by immersing finely chopped licorice in alcohol with a concentration of about 35% for a long time and then filtering the liquid is mixed with the raw material liquid. If you dissolve the glucose in the alcohol in the soaking process,
The flavor is further improved.

The raw material liquid containing the saponin component in this way is then allowed to absorb carbon dioxide gas. The absorption of carbon dioxide gas is carried out by a method in which a carbon dioxide gas is injected by injecting the gas into the carbon dioxide gas by using a carbon dioxide gas injector.

[For production]

The foamed/i￥ frozen beverage according to the present invention has a high degree of foaming that continuously generates fine bubbles equivalent to that of heel, and a unique flavor with a mixture of sweetness and bitterness. The J'ponino component reduces the surface tension of the raw material liquid, activating the solution interface suitable for continuous generation of stored carbon dioxide by Ita bubbles, and also skillfully combines with the raw material liquid components to create a unique flavor. This is thought to be based on a synergistic effect.

〔Example〕

100 g of shredded licorice was dissolved in 720 d of 35-thialcohol, 30 g of glucose was added thereto, and the mixture was stored in a cool, dark place for one month, and then filtered.

The obtained saponin component extract was mixed at a blending ratio of 1 ml/100 J with a raw material solution synthesized by adding fructose, sulfur sugar, sugar, malic acid, citric acid, fragrance, pigment, etc. to water. Next, carbon dioxide gas was injected and absorbed into the raw material solution containing the →J''ponin component using a carho inverter in a conventional manner.

When the sparkling soft drink produced in this way was poured into a container, fine beer-like bubbles suddenly rose to 1, and as the liquid was shaken, foaming of the stored gas continued for a long time. Ta. In addition, the taste had a unique flavor with a mixture of sweetness and bitterness.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, the present invention makes it possible to obtain a 6゛J soft drink with beer-like high foamability (!: unique flavor), which could not be imparted by the carbon dioxide absorption method of the prior art. This brings about practical effects such as being able to supply a new beverage that meets the tastes and demands of people.

that's all
