Claims14
A low-calorie water beverage composition, comprising a sweetener containing allulose, an acidity regulator, probiotic microorganisms, and water,
- wherein the water beverage composition has a water content of 90% by weight or more and ΔE*ab value of 0.05 to 5.0 so as to prevent browning,
- wherein, based on 100% by weight of solid content of the water beverage composition, the solid content of allulose is 0.05 to 3% by weight, the content of acidity regulator is 0.05 to 1.0% by weight, and the solid content of probiotic microorganism is 0.0001 to 0.5% by weight, and
- wherein the acidity regulator is an organic acid or a salt thereof.
A low-calorie gel-phase beverage composition, comprising a gelling agent containing gellan gum, a sweetener containing allulose and erythritol, and an organic acid or a salt thereof, wherein the allulose and the erythritol are gel stabilizers for the gel-phase beverage composition,
- wherein the solid content of erythritol is 30 to 350 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the solid content of allulose,
- wherein the gelling agent is contained at 0.01% to 2.0% by weight based on 100% by weight of the total gel-phase beverage composition,
- wherein the gel-phase beverage composition has a water content of 50% by weight or more and a water release rate of 6.0% or lower as measured after storage at 35° C. for 10 days,
- wherein the gel-phase beverage composition has a gel phase in a temperature range of 1° C. to 35° C., and
- wherein the gel-phase is characterized as a semi-solid form of colloidal solution which is solidified with a dispersion medium.
