• (2) bringing the beverage, which has been brought into contact with the metal-supported zeolite, into contact with a metal-trapping material, wherein
• [i] the unwanted component is at least one selected from the group consisting of dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) and dimethyl trisulfide (DMTS);
• the unwanted component is removed in both steps (1) and (2);
• the beverage is alcoholic beverages;
• [ii] a metal which constitutes the metal-supported zeolite is silver;
• the amount of silver is 5 to 25 mass % based on a total amount of the metal-supported zeolite;
• [iii] the metal-trapping material is a zeolite having Na+ as an ion-exchangeable cation;
• flavor and aroma components are substantially left in the beverage;
• and
• [iv] the flavor and aroma components include acetaldehyde;
• and
• contact with the metal-supported zeolite and the metal-trapping material does not reduce the concentration of acetaldehyde.
