Estimating the term…
The present invention provides an economical process for producing a milk-added coffee beverage with an enhanced flavor in a process for producing a milk-added coffee beverage produced through a step of heat sterilization of coffee and milk component as the main raw materials; comprising adding a strongly basic substance and/or basic amino acid to coffee component and conducting the heat sterilization after milk component is admixed to the coffee component; whereby coagulation at the step of admixing milk component is prevented and precipitation which tends to arise after the heat sterilization is prevented with the use of much smaller amount of emulsifier and thickening agent.
A milk-added coffee beverage characterized by being prepared by adding a strongly basic substance and/or a basic amino acid to coffee component, mixing milk component therewith and then heat sterilizing the mixture.
A process for producing a milk-added coffee beverage produced through a step of heat sterilization of coffee component and milk component as the main raw materials, wherein a strongly basic substance and/or basic amino acid used as a pH adjuster is added prior to the heating step while sodium bicarbonate is either not used at all or used at no greater than 0.14 wt%, to reduce the amount of emulsifier and/or thickening agent required and prevent precipitation by the heat sterilization, for production of a rich-flavored milk-added coffee beverage.
