を含有させことを特徴とする、果汁飲料の甘味増強方法。
なお、本明細書において引用した全ての文献、および公開公報、特許公報その他の特許文献は、参照として本明細書に組み込むものとする。
本明細書において、例えば、「A成分の含有量がXmg/100mlである」との記載は、「飲料100mlに対して、A成分がXmg含まれている」ことを意味する。また、例えば、「B成分の含有量がYppmである」との記載は、「飲料の全量(100質量%)に対して、B成分がYppm含まれている」ことを意味する。
本発明は、第1の態様として、以下の果汁飲料(以下、「本発明の果汁飲料」という)を提供する。
(a)甘味強度X1相当の量の天然糖、
(b)甘味強度X2相当の量の高甘味度甘味料、および
(c)70mg/100ml未満のナトリウム
を含み、
前記高甘味度甘味料は、レバウジオシドM、レバウジオシドD、レバウジオシドN、レバウジオシドO、レバウジオシドE、羅漢果抽出物、モグロシドV(Mogroside V)およびソーマチンからなる群より選択される少なくとも1つの高甘味度甘味料b1を含み、
0.1<(X1+X2)≦20である、果汁飲料。
本発明の果汁飲料は、前記成分(a)~(c)により甘味強度X3の甘味を呈する。
本発明において「果汁飲料」とは、果実の搾汁である果汁を含む飲料を意味する。
具体的な「果汁飲料」としては、2018年に施行された「果実飲料等の表示に関する公正競争規約」の定義にある「果実飲料」や、2016年に施行された「果実飲料等の表示に関する公正競争規約施行規則」の定義である「果実ジュース」「果実ミックスジュース」「果粒入り果実ジュース」「果実・野菜ミックスジュース」「果汁入り飲料」が挙げられる。
なお、上記の規約では「その他の飲料」に分類される果汁の使用割合が10%未満の飲料についても、果汁を含む飲料であれば、本発明でいう「果汁飲料」に含まれる。
なお、濃縮果汁は、加熱濃縮法および冷凍濃縮法のいずれによって調製されたものであってもよい。
代表的な果実の糖用屈折計示度の基準(単位:°Bx)の値としては、オレンジ:11、ミカン:9、グレープフルーツ:9、パイナップル:11、クランベリー:7、ブルーベリー、グァバ:8、バナナ:23、パパイヤ:9、パッションフルーツ:14、マンゴー:13、リンゴ:10、ブドウ:11、桃:8、日本梨:8、西洋梨:11、アンズ:7、スモモ:6、メロン、キウイフルーツ:10である。
また、代表的な果実の酸度の基準(単位:%)としては、レモン:4.5、ライム:6、梅:3.5、カボス:3.5である。
[果汁率(%)]=[果汁配合量(g)]×[濃縮倍率]/100mL×100
例えば、オレンジ果汁は、JAS規格がBx11°であるから、Bx55°の濃縮オレンジ果汁を飲料中6.0重量%配合した場合、果汁率は30%となる。なお、果汁の果汁率をJAS規格の糖用屈折計示度に基づいて換算する際には、果汁に加えられた糖類、はちみつ等の糖用屈折計示度を除くものとする。
本発明において「天然糖」とは、Cm(H2O)nの一般式(ここでmとnは独立の自然数を表す)で表され、ヒトが消化可能なD体の炭水化物を含み、その例としてはグルコース、スクロース、フルクトース、マルトース、オリゴ糖(例えば、フラクトオリゴ糖、マルトオリゴ糖、イソマルトオリゴ糖、ガラクトオリゴ糖等)、異性化糖、乳糖、プシコース、アロース、タガトースおよびその組み合わせが挙げられる。また、果汁由来の糖も、天然糖に含まれる。
グルコース、スクロース、フルクトース、マルトース、オリゴ糖、異性化糖、乳糖の組み合わせの例としては、以下が挙げられる。具体的には、スクロースと異性化糖、スクロースとグルコース、スクロースとフルクトース、スクロースとマルトース、スクロースとオリゴ糖、スクロースと乳糖、異性化糖とオリゴ糖、スクロースとプシコース、スクロースと異性化糖とグルコース、スクロースと異性化糖とフルクトース、スクロースと異性化糖とマルトース、スクロースと異性化糖とオリゴ糖、スクロースと異性化糖とグルコースとオリゴ糖、スクロースとグルコースとフルクトースとオリゴ糖、グルコースとスクロースとフルクトースとマルトースとオリゴ糖と異性化糖と乳糖とタガトース、などの組み合わせが挙げられる。
天然糖の甘味強度X1相当の量とは、本発明の果汁飲料と同等体積の20℃の水に天然糖を溶かした条件で甘味強度X1の甘味を呈する量(濃度)をいう。
本発明において「高甘味度甘味料」とは、ショ糖に比べて強い甘味を有する化合物を意味し、天然由来化合物、合成化合物または天然由来化合物および合成化合物の組み合わせであってもよい。高甘味度甘味料はショ糖と同量において、ショ糖より5倍以上、10倍以上、50倍以上、100倍以上、500倍以上、1000倍以上、5000倍以上、10000倍以上、50000倍以上、100000倍以上の甘味を呈する。高甘味度甘味料はこのように非常に強い甘味を呈するため、本発明の果汁飲料における天然糖と高甘味度甘味料の存在を重量比で表すと、「天然糖:高甘味度甘味料」は5:1~10:1、50:1~100:1、50:1~200:1、500:1~1000:1、5000:1~10000:1、50000:1~100000:1となる。
成分(b)である高甘味度甘味料の全量(100質量%)に対する、高甘味度甘味料b1の含有量は、好ましくは50質量%以上、より好ましくは60質量%以上、更に好ましくは70質量%以上、より更に好ましくは80質量%以上、特に好ましくは90質量%以上である。本発明の一態様において、成分(b)である高甘味度甘味料は、実質的に高甘味度甘味料b1のみからなっていてもよい。本明細書において、「実質的に高甘味度甘味料b1のみからなる」とは、高甘味度甘味料b1の調製(ステビア抽出物や羅漢果抽出物の精製や生合成など)過程において不可避的に含まれる他のステビオール配糖体やモグロシド等の不純物は包含されていてもよいことを意味する。
高甘味度甘味料の甘味強度X2相当の量とは、本発明の果汁飲料と同等体積の20℃の水に高甘味度甘味料を溶かした条件で甘味強度X2の甘味を呈する量をいう。
本発明は(c)70mg/100ml未満のナトリウムを含むが、これはナトリウム原子の含有量が70mg/100ml未満であることを意味する。ナトリウムの含有量は、実施態様に応じて、0.1g/100ml以上70mg/100ml未満、0.1~65mg/100ml、0.1~60mg/100ml、0.1~55mg/100ml、0.1~50mg/100ml、0.1~45mg/100ml、0.1~40mg/100ml、0.1~35mg/100ml、0.1~30mg/100ml、0.1~25mg/100ml、0.1~20mg/100ml、0.1~19mg/100ml、0.1~18mg/100ml、0.1~17mg/100ml、0.1~16mg/100ml、0.1~15mg/100ml、0.1~14mg/100ml、0.1~13mg/100ml、0.1~12mg/100ml、0.1~11mg/100ml、0.1~10mg/100ml、1g/100ml以上70mg/100ml未満、1~65mg/100ml、1~60mg/100ml、1~55mg/100ml、1~50mg/100ml、1~45mg/100ml、1~40mg/100ml、1~35mg/100ml、1~30mg/100ml、1~25mg/100ml、1~20mg/100ml、1~19mg/100ml、1~18mg/100ml、1~17mg/100ml、1~16mg/100ml、1~15mg/100ml、1~14mg/100ml、1~13mg/100ml、1~12mg/100ml、1~11mg/100ml、1~10mg/100ml、5g/100ml以上70mg/100ml未満、5~65mg/100ml、5~60mg/100ml、5~55mg/100ml、5~50mg/100ml、5~45mg/100ml、5~40mg/100ml、5~35mg/100ml、5~30mg/100ml、5~25mg/100ml、5~20mg/100ml、5~19mg/100ml、5~18mg/100ml、5~17mg/100ml、5~16mg/100ml、5~15mg/100ml、5~14mg/100ml、5~13mg/100ml、5~12mg/100ml、5~11mg/100ml、5~10mg/100ml、7g/100ml以上70mg/100ml未満、7~65mg/100ml、7~60mg/100ml、7~55mg/100ml、7~50mg/100ml、7~45mg/100ml、7~40mg/100ml、7~35mg/100ml、7~30mg/100ml、7~25mg/100ml、7~20mg/100ml、7~19mg/100ml、7~18mg/100ml、7~17mg/100ml、7~16mg/100ml、7~15mg/100ml、10g/100ml以上70mg/100ml未満、10~65mg/100ml、10~60mg/100ml、10~55mg/100ml、10~50mg/100ml、10~45mg/100ml、10~40mg/100ml、10~35mg/100ml、10~30mg/100ml、10~25mg/100ml、10~20mg/100ml、10~19mg/100ml、10~18mg/100ml、10~17mg/100ml、10~16mg/100ml、10~15mg/100ml、15g/100ml以上70mg/100ml未満、15~65mg/100ml、15~60mg/100ml、15~55mg/100ml、15~50mg/100ml、15~45mg/100ml、15~40mg/100ml、15~35mg/100ml、15~30mg/100ml、15~25mg/100ml、15~20mg/100ml、20g/100ml以上70mg/100ml未満、20~65mg/100ml、20~60mg/100ml、20~55mg/100ml、20~50mg/100ml、20~45mg/100ml、20~40mg/100ml、20~35mg/100ml、20~30mg/100ml、20~25mg/100ml、25g/100ml以上70mg/100ml未満、25~65mg/100ml、25~60mg/100ml、25~55mg/100ml、25~50mg/100ml、25~45mg/100ml、25~40mg/100ml、25~35mg/100ml、25~30mg/100mlの含有量にあってもよい。
また、果汁にナトリウムが含まれる場合、その果汁由来のナトリウムも、本発明の果汁飲料に含まれるナトリウムに包含される。

なお、以下に示す実施例において、各種添加剤を加える前のベースとなる飲料に含まれるナトリウム含有量は、SpectrAA240FS(アジレント・テクノロジー社製)を用いた原子吸光法により測定した。また、各種添加剤を配合後の飲料サンプルのナトリウム含有量は、上記方法により測定したベースとなる飲料中のナトリウム含有量に、配合量から算出した各種添加剤に含まれるナトリウム含有量を加えたものである。
実験方法
下記の表2に示した比率で天然糖{スクロース(太平洋製糖株式会社製)、グルコース(昭和産業株式会社製)}、レバウジオシドD(RebD)(純度95%以上)、グルコン酸ナトリウムをオレンジ希釈果汁(果汁率:10%、ナトリウム含有量:0(mg/100ml)、エネルギー:4(kcal/100ml)、Brix=1.0)に溶解して、飲料サンプルを調製した。また、グルコン酸ナトリウムを添加していない溶液をサンプル1とした。
なお、表2におけるBrixは天然糖の濃度およびオレンジ希釈果汁由来のBrixから算出し、飲料中のナトリウム含有量はグルコン酸ナトリウム濃度から算出し、エネルギー(kcal/100ml)は、RebDおよびナトリウム由来の成分のエネルギーを0(kcal/100ml)として算出した。
まず、各パネラーが日頃の訓練により備えている共通の味質判断基準に基づき、各飲料サンプルについて、味質ごとの「官能評価スコア」を算出した。
「官能評価スコア」は、サンプル1の味質の程度を「0」(基準)として、-3.0~+3.0の範囲でサンプル1との味質の違いを数値化したものである。「官能評価スコア」の各項目の基準としては以下のとおりである。
(官能評価スコア)
・「+3.0」:サンプル1と比べて、対象となる味質が非常に強いと感じる。
・「+2.0」:サンプル1と比べて、対象となる味質が強いと感じる。
・「+1.0」:サンプル1と比べて、対象となる味質がやや強いと感じる。
・「0」 :対象となる味質が、サンプル1と同じである。
・「-1.0」:サンプル1と比べて、対象となる味質がやや弱いと感じる。
・「-2.0」:サンプル1と比べて、対象となる味質が弱いと感じる。
・「-3.0」:サンプル1と比べて、対象となる味質が非常に弱いと感じる。
なお、上記基準に照らし、例えば、「+1.0」と「+2.0」の間の味質と判断した場合には「+1.5」と、0.5刻みでスコアをつけた。
(換算スコア)
・換算スコア「3」:官能評価スコアが+1.5以上。
・換算スコア「2」:官能評価スコアが+1.0以上+1.5未満。
・換算スコア「1」:官能評価スコアが+0.5以上+1.0未満。
・換算スコア「0」:官能評価スコアが-0.5超+0.5未満。
・換算スコア「-1」:官能評価スコアが-1.0超-0.5以下。
・換算スコア「-2」:官能評価スコアが-1.5超-1.0以下。
・換算スコア「-3」:官能評価スコアが-1.5以下。
なお、「甘さの強さ」および「フレーバーの強さ」については、換算スコア合計値が大きいほど好ましく、「雑味の強さ」および「塩味の強さ」については換算スコア合計値が小さいほど好ましい。
