Abstract
The present invention aims to provide a non-alcoholic beer-taste beverage having an improved quality of bitterness. The present invention provides a non-alcoholic beer-taste beverage having an iso-α-acid content of 15 to 60 ppm and an ethyl glucoside content of 5 to 50 ppm, wherein a ratio of iso-α-acid to ethyl glucoside, i.e., iso-α-acid/ethyl glucoside, is 6.0 or less.
Claims4
A non-alcoholic beer-taste beverage, comprising:
- an iso-α-acid content of 15 to 60 ppm;
- and
- an ethyl glucoside content of 5 to 50 ppm,
- wherein a ratio of iso-α-acid to ethyl glucoside, i.e., iso-α-acid/ethyl glucoside, is 6.0 or less.
A method of producing a non-alcoholic beer-taste beverage, comprising:
- adjusting an iso-α-acid concentration and an ethyl glucoside concentration in a non-alcoholic beer-taste beverage such that the non-alcoholic beer-taste beverage has an iso-α-acid content of 15 to 60 ppm, an ethyl glucoside content of 5 to 50 ppm, and a ratio of iso-α-acid to ethyl glucoside, i.e., iso-α-acid/ethyl glucoside, of 6.0 or less.
A method of improving quality of bitterness of a non-alcoholic beer-taste beverage, comprising:
- adding iso-α-acid and ethyl glucoside to a non-alcoholic beer-taste beverage such that the non-alcoholic beer-taste beverage contains 15 to 60 ppm iso-α-acid and 5 to 50 ppm ethyl glucoside at a ratio of iso-α-acid to ethyl glucoside, i.e., iso-α-acid/ethyl glucoside, of 6.0 or less.
