Description

非發酵之類啤酒發泡性飲料 Non-fermented beer foaming beverage

本發明係關於一種即便於不以啤酒花作為原料之情形時亦具有類似啤酒之苦味的非醱酵之類啤酒發泡性飲料。 The present invention relates to a non-fermented beer-foaming beverage which has a bitter taste similar to beer even when hops are not used as a raw material.

本申請案係基於2014年10月24日於日本提出申請之日本專利特願2014-217167號而主張優先權，將其內容援用至本文中。 The present application claims priority based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2014-217167, filed on Jan.

不同於啤酒，不經過醱酵步驟而製造之非醱酵之類啤酒發泡性飲料能夠於無需特別之醱酵裝置之情況下製造，因此適於以低成本大量生產。於在非醱酵性之類啤酒發泡性飲料中使用啤酒花之情形時，雖然能夠賦予較佳之苦味，但有原本會在醱酵中減輕之源自啤酒花之腥臭氣味殘留於製品中之傾向。另一方面，未使用啤酒花所製造之非醱酵之類啤酒發泡性飲料存在類似啤酒之苦味變差之問題。 Unlike beer, non-fermented beer-flavored beverages that are produced without the fermentation step can be produced without special fermentation equipment and are therefore suitable for mass production at low cost. In the case where hops are used in a beer-flavored beverage such as a non-fermentable beverage, although a bitter taste can be imparted, there is a tendency that the odor of hops derived from hops which is originally reduced in the fermentation is left in the product. On the other hand, a non-fermented beer-flavored beverage made without using hops has a problem that the bitterness of beer is deteriorated.

於非醱酵之類啤酒發泡性飲料中適當添加甜味劑、酸味料、苦味物質、香料等，以具有類似啤酒之風味或香味。已知各種調配於飲料中之苦味物質，例如可列舉：源自啤酒花之苦味物質、咖啡因、龍膽萃取物、肽類、可可鹼、蘆薈素、柚苷、苦艾萃取物、β-低聚葡糖、金雞納萃取物等(例如參照專利文獻1)。 A sweetener, a sour material, a bitter substance, a flavor, and the like are appropriately added to a beer-flavored beverage such as non-fermented yeast to have a flavor or aroma similar to beer. Various bitter substances to be formulated in beverages are known, and examples thereof include: bitter substances derived from hops, caffeine, gentian extract, peptides, theobromine, aloin, naringin, absinthe extract, β-low Polyglucose, cinchona extract, etc. (for example, refer to Patent Document 1).

另一方面，類啤酒發泡性飲料藉由適度之碳酸刺激而具有類似啤酒之爽快味道。作為不提高二氧化碳氣壓而增強碳酸飲料之碳酸刺激之方法，例如揭示有於碳酸飲料中添加檸檬酸三乙酯、檸檬酸三丙 酯、檸檬酸三丁酯等羥酸酯類之方法(例如參照專利文獻2)。 On the other hand, beer-like sparkling beverages have a refreshing taste similar to beer by moderate carbonic acid stimulation. As a method for enhancing the carbonation stimulation of a carbonated beverage without increasing the pressure of carbon dioxide, for example, adding triethyl citrate or tripropyl citrate to a carbonated beverage is disclosed. A method of a hydroxy acid ester such as an ester or a tributyl citrate (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

首先，於步驟(a)中，藉由將液體及固體之原料進行混合而製備調合液。各原料之混合順序並無特別限定。可於原料水中同時添加所有原料，亦可依序添加原料，如待先添加之原料已溶解後再添加其餘原料等。又，例如可於原料水中混合固體(例如粉末狀或顆粒狀)之原 料(例如苦味物質、刺激物質、酸味料、起泡劑、著色料、甜味成分、香味料等)及視需要之酒精，亦可預先將固體原料製成水溶液後，將該等水溶液、及酒精、視需要之原料水進行混合。 First, in the step (a), a preparation liquid is prepared by mixing a raw material of a liquid and a solid. The order of mixing the raw materials is not particularly limited. All raw materials can be added at the same time in the raw material water, and the raw materials can be added sequentially, such as the raw materials to be added before being dissolved and then the remaining raw materials are added. Further, for example, a solid (for example, a powder or a granule) may be mixed in the raw material water. a material (for example, a bitter substance, a stimulating substance, a sour material, a foaming agent, a coloring material, a sweetening component, a flavoring material, etc.) and an alcohol as needed, and the solid raw material may be prepared as an aqueous solution in advance, and the aqueous solution may be Mix alcohol with water as needed.

於步驟(a)中所製備之調合液產生不溶物之情形時，較佳為於步驟(b)前對該調合液進行過濾等去除不溶物之處理。不溶物去除處理並無特別限定，可藉由過濾法、離心分離法等本技術領域中通常採用之方法而進行。本發明中，不溶物較佳為藉由過濾而去除，更佳為藉由矽藻土過濾而去除。 In the case where the preparation liquid prepared in the step (a) produces an insoluble matter, it is preferred to subject the preparation liquid to filtration or the like to remove the insoluble matter before the step (b). The insoluble matter removal treatment is not particularly limited, and it can be carried out by a method generally employed in the art such as a filtration method or a centrifugal separation method. In the present invention, the insoluble matter is preferably removed by filtration, and more preferably by filtration through diatomaceous earth.

繼而，作為步驟(b)，於藉由步驟(a)所獲得之調合液中添加二氧化碳。藉此獲得非醱酵之類啤酒發泡性飲料。藉由添加碳酸，賦予與啤酒同樣之爽快味道。再者，二氧化碳之添加可藉由常規方法進行。 例如可將藉由步驟(a)所獲得之調合液及碳酸水進行混合，亦可於藉由步驟(a)所獲得之調合液中直接添加溶入二氧化碳。 Then, as step (b), carbon dioxide is added to the blending liquid obtained by the step (a). Thereby, a beer-flavored beverage such as non-fermented is obtained. By adding carbonic acid, it gives the same refreshing taste as beer. Further, the addition of carbon dioxide can be carried out by a conventional method. For example, the blending liquid obtained by the step (a) and the carbonated water may be mixed, or the carbon dioxide may be directly added to the blending liquid obtained by the step (a).

添加二氧化碳後，可對所獲得之非醱酵之類啤酒發泡性飲料進而添加香料等原料，或者亦可進行過濾等去除不溶物之處理。不溶物去除處理並無特別限定，可藉由本技術領域中通常採用之方法而進行。 After the addition of carbon dioxide, a raw material such as a fragrance may be further added to the obtained non-fermented beer foaming beverage, or a treatment such as filtration may be performed to remove the insoluble matter. The insoluble matter removal treatment is not particularly limited and can be carried out by a method generally employed in the art.
