AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Container-packed beverages, especially non-juice or low-juice and sugar-free ones, face challenges in achieving flavor complexity, and existing methods for enhancing flavor in carbonated beverages with high alcohol content are inadequate for a broader range of beverages.

Method used

Incorporating α-phellandrene at a concentration of 100 to 10,000 ppb into container-packed beverages, regardless of fruit juice content, alcohol presence, and sugar content, to enhance flavor complexity.

Benefits of technology

The addition of α-phellandrene significantly enhances flavor complexity and drinking satisfaction across various beverage types, including non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages, with or without fruit juice, sugar, or carbonation.

Abstract

The present invention addresses the problem of providing a technique for enhancing the complexity of taste of a container-packed beverage.　The problem is solved by containing α-phellandrene at a concentration of 100-10,000 ppb in a container-packed beverage. The alcohol by volume of the beverage may be 0-9 v / v%. The beverage may contain or may not contain a sweetness component. The content of a fruit juice in the beverage may be 13 w / v% or less. The beverage may contain or may not contain carbon dioxide gas.
