Solution Overview

Problem

There is a demand for novel beer-taste beverages that have a stronger and more suitable taste for beer.

Innovation Solution

A method involving mixing a beer-taste stock solution and an edible aqueous solution within specific temperature ranges (3.0° C. to 15.0° C.) and a predetermined weight ratio (1.5 to 7.0), which can be done in an open container of 3 L or less, using an aqueous solution containing carbon dioxide.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If conventional beer beverage production methods are used, then the production process is simple, but the taste strength and suitability for beer are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetaste strengthVSAvoidproduction process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by specifying precise temperature ranges (3.0°C to 15.0°C) for both the beer-taste stock solution and edible aqueous solution during mixing. This temperature control parameter optimization enhances the taste strength and beer-suitability of the final beverage without requiring complex equipment, resolving the contradiction between taste quality and process simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Manufacturing precision

If mixing is performed without temperature control, then the production process is simple, but the flavor cleanliness and degree of preference are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveflavor cleanlinessVSAvoidproduction ease
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements temperature control as a key parameter change, requiring both stock solution and aqueous solution to be maintained between 3.0°C and 15.0°C during mixing. This precise temperature parameter specification improves flavor cleanliness and consumer preference while maintaining relatively simple production procedures, effectively resolving the contradiction between manufacturing precision and ease of manufacture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Quantity of substance

If the mixing ratio is not controlled, then the production process is flexible, but the taste suitability and degree of preference are compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetaste suitabilityVSAvoidmixing flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by defining a specific mixing ratio range (1.5 to 7.0 parts aqueous solution to 1 part beer-taste stock solution). This controlled parameter specification ensures optimal taste suitability and consumer preference while maintaining operational flexibility within the defined range, resolving the contradiction between taste quality and operational ease.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
