Then, mix the fruit jam in a sterile room and pour it into transparent sterile bottles as experimental samples.

[0055] Comparative Example 5:

[0056] This comparative example provides a citric acid beverage with the following ingredient formula:

[0057] Based on the total mass of raw materials for 1 kg of citric acid beverage as 100%, it includes 2% skim milk powder, 6% white sugar, 2‰ pectin, 1‰ soluble soybean polysaccharide, 0.3‰ sodium citrate, 2‰ anhydrous citric acid, 1.5‰ malic acid, 1‰ lemon concentrate, 1.4% apple concentrate, 5% lemon jam, and 0%, 0.55%, 1.25%, 1.75%, and 2.25% PC-01 bacterial powder-green tea powder in a mass ratio of 2:3, respectively.

Then, mix the fruit jam in a sterile room and pour it into transparent sterile bottles as experimental samples.

[0060] Test results:

[0061] The main evaluation indicators were sensory score, acidity, limonene content, and tea polyphenol content. The sensory scoring method involved selecting 20 consumers who had received sensory training to form a sensory evaluation team. Before each evaluation, the participants rinsed their mouths with purified water and scored the samples based on four dimensions: texture, color, aroma, and taste. Each sample was evaluated three times, with a maximum score of 100 points. Detailed scoring rules are shown in Table 1 below.

[0062] Table 1

[0063]

[0064]

[0065] Acidity was determined by laboratory acidity titration, while tea polyphenols and limonene were detected using reagent kits.

[0066] Different mass ratios of Lactobacillus casei PC-01 freeze-dried bacterial powder and vine tea powder, and different amounts of the composition for recreating the authentic taste of lemon were added to the sample of Example 1, and the sensory scores were as follows: Figure 1As shown, when the mass ratio of the compound powder is 2:3, the sensory scores of the compound powder at each addition stage are significantly higher than those of the experimental group without addition. Only when the addition amount is 2.25% is the overall sensory effect of the sample poor. When the mass ratio of the compound powder is 2:3 and the addition amount is 1.25%, the sensory effect of the sample is the best. At this time, the taste of the lemon acid beverage presents the natural bitterness of lemon, and the overall taste is harmonious, refreshing and pleasant.

[0067] Table 2 shows the results of acidity, limonene content, and tea polyphenol content determination in Example 1. The results in Table 2 indicate that when the ratio of *Lactobacillus paracasei* to vine tea powder is 2:3 and the addition amount is 1.25%, the tea polyphenol content is 0.21 g / L, and the acidity is 60.04°T. At this point, the sample has the best taste, and the astringency at the end is significantly enhanced. The reason for this may be that the internal components of *Lactobacillus paracasei* react chemically with citric acid, tea polyphenols, limonene, and other components, which not only enhances the release of lemon flavor but also slows down the rate of bitterness and sweetness in the vine tea, thus providing a naturally harmonious lemon flavor.

[0068] Table 2

[0069]

[0070]

[0071] Sensory scores of lemon concentrate added to lemon acidic beverages, such as: Figure 2 As shown, different amounts of lemon concentrate added in Comparative Example 1 significantly affect the sensory experience of lemon acid beverages. When the amount of lemon concentrate added is 1‰, the sample is in good condition, with suitable color and aroma, and a harmonious taste, but it still lacks astringency and cannot release the natural lemon taste of lemon acid beverages. The sensory experience of the samples is poor at other addition amounts, and the sensory scores do not exceed 80 points. The astringency of citric acid beverages is mainly provided by limonene. Table 3 shows the results of acidity, limonene content, and tea polyphenol content determination for Comparative Example 1. As can be seen from Table 3, when the lemon juice concentration is 1‰, the limonene concentration is 2.34 mg / L, the acidity is 58.76°T, and no tea polyphenols are detected. According to the testers' feedback, the 1‰ concentration lemon juice sample has a slightly astringent taste, while the 2.5‰ concentration sample is too bitter and has no astringency, and the 0.5‰ concentration sample is too bland and has no bitterness or astringency. This indicates that a limonene content of around 2.3 mg / L can bring a slight bitterness and astringency without affecting the flavor, but exceeding 3‰ will make it too bitter and affect the taste.

[0072] Table 3

[0073]

[0074] Sensory results were obtained by adding different amounts of vine tea powder to the samples of Comparative Example 2. Figure 3 As shown, from Figure 3 The results show that the sensory scores of samples with an appropriate amount of vine tea powder added are significantly higher than those without. When the amount of vine tea powder added is within the range of 1.25%, the sensory experience of the sample is relatively optimal, with a slightly bitter taste but a quick aftertaste, still slightly different from the taste of real lemon. However, when the amount of vine tea powder added exceeds 1.5%, the taste of the sample becomes too bitter, seriously affecting the sensory experience. Table 4 shows the results of acidity, limonene content, and tea polyphenol content determination for Comparative Example 2. As can be seen from Table 4, when the amount of vine tea powder added is within the range of 1.25%, the tea polyphenol content is 0.37 g / L. The tea polyphenol content also changes with the amount of vine tea powder added. Since tea polyphenols are the main substances that provide bitterness, it can be seen that the taste experience is better when the tea polyphenol content is between 0.3-0.4 g / L, and vine tea powder does not affect the limonene content or the acidity of the sample.

[0075] Table 4

[0076]

[0077] The sensory results of adding different amounts of Lactobacillus paracasei PC-01 lyophilized powder to Comparative Example 3 samples are shown below. Figure 4 As shown, when the amount of probiotic powder added is 1.25%, the lemon flavor of the sample is enhanced, but it still lacks astringency and cannot simulate the natural taste of lemon. When the amount of probiotic powder added exceeds 1.5%, the flavor release of the sample itself is weakened, thus affecting the overall score. Table 5 shows the results of acidity, limonene content and tea polyphenol content determination of Comparative Example 3. As can be seen from Table 5, different amounts of probiotic powder can effectively increase the acidity of the sample solution. The reason may be related to the acid production of lactic acid bacteria fermentation. When the acidity is enhanced to a certain value, the flavor of lemon acid beverage can be enhanced and the taste can be more refreshing. This may be one of the reasons for the high sensory evaluation score. Since the probiotic powder does not affect limonene, tea polyphenols and other substances that can produce bitterness, it does not have a significant effect on enhancing astringency.

[0078] Table 5

[0079] Different amounts of PC-01 added (%) 0 0.55 1.25 1.75 2.25 Acidity (°T) 58.76 59.32 61.63 64.67 66.73 Limonene content (mg / L) 2.34 2.34 2.34 2.34 2.34 Tea polyphenol content (g / L) 0 0 0 0 0

[0080] Sensory scores of different amounts of compound Lactobacillus paracasei LPC-37 and vine tea powder added to citric acid beverages are as follows: Figure 5 As shown, from Figure 5It can be seen that after using the new Lactobacillus paracasei LPC-37 and vine tea powder, the sensory score of the sample in Comparative Example 4 was not high, and the sample lacked bitterness. Table 6 shows the results of acidity, limonene content and tea polyphenol content determination of Comparative Example 4. As can be seen from Table 6, even though the acidity and tea polyphenol content changed, the astringency at the end of the sample was not improved. The reason may be that different Lactobacillus paracasei have different effects. According to the current experiment, only the combination of PC-01 and vine tea powder can enhance the effect of citric acid beverage.

[0081] Table 6

[0082]

[0083] Table 7 shows the results of acidity, limonene content, and tea polyphenol content determination for Comparative Example 5.

[0084] Table 7

[0085]

[0086] Sensory scores of different amounts of compound Lactobacillus paracasei PC-01 and green tea powder added to citrus acidic beverages are as follows: Figure 6 As shown, from Figure 6 It can be seen that when the vine tea powder was replaced with green tea powder in Comparative Example 5, the sample score decreased and the sample had no astringency. As can be seen from Table 7, even though the acidity and tea polyphenols changed, the astringency at the end of the sample did not increase. This indicates that only when PC-01 is combined with vine tea powder can a special chemical reaction occur, thereby enhancing the astringency at the end of the citric acid beverage.
