Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain an agent for suppressing bitter taste and/or astringent taste capable of suppressing disagreeable bitter taste and astringent taste of a food or medicine at a small addition amount. SOLUTION: The objective agent for suppressing bitter taste and/or astringent taste is composed of a hydrolyzed coffee bean produced by hydrolyzing coffee bean with an enzyme, removing insoluble components from the produce and purifying the hydrolysis product by contacting with an adsorbent. The purpose can be achieved by adding the suppressing agent to a food, drink or medicine having bitter taste or astringent taste e.g. a fruit juice such as grapefruit juice, a vegetable juice such as tomato or celery juice, gymnemic acid, aloe extract, wine black tea and green tea.

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, various health foods containing crude drugs having a bitter or astringent taste have been marketed due to an increase in health orientation. This includes, for example, extracts such as gymnemic acid and aloe, and various functional effects are declared, but due to their bitterness and astringency, targeted consumers are biased toward adult males Tend. In recent stressed societies, nutritional drinks and the like are favored due to their refreshing effect, but are considered to be one of the factors that do not lead to increased consumption due to the bitter and astringent components included as components. In order to reduce the commercial value of such bitterness and astringency of foods and pharmaceuticals, methods of masking bitterness and astringency have been studied.

Test Example 3 Tea extracted polyphenol (manufactured by Mitsui Norin Co., Ltd .: Polyphenol 30) was selected as the astringent component present in food, and the aqueous solution (0.05% w / w) was used to prepare Example 1 or Example 2 A sample was prepared by adding 0.0005% (5 ppm) of the hydrolyzate, 4.5 ppm of the hydrolyzate of Reference Example, or 1.6 ppm of a quinic acid reagent (Nacalai Tesque, Inc.) to a final concentration of 1.6 ppm. . Using a non-added polyphenol aqueous solution as a control sample, sensory evaluation was performed for each sample by six trained panelists using astringency as an evaluation item.
The evaluation points were 4 points for the additive-free product and 7 points for when the astringency was strongly felt.
The point when no point or astringency was felt was given 1 point. Table 4 shows the average value of the evaluation results.
