Unfermented beer-taste beverage and manufacturing method therefor

Abstract

To provide an unfermented beer-taste beverage provided with fermentation flavor, and a method for producing the unfermented beer-taste beverage. An unfermented beer-taste beverage provided with good fermentation flavor characteristic of beer can be provided by a method for producing an unfermented beer-taste beverage comprising a step of adding a flavor composition containing a sulfur-containing compound to an unfermented beer-taste beverage to achieve a content of the sulfur-containing compound of 1×10 2 ppt or more but 1×10 3 ppt or less.

1 . A method for producing an unfermented beer-taste beverage comprising a step of adding a flavor composition containing a sulfur-containing compound to an unfermented beer-taste beverage to obtain a content of the sulfur-containing compound of 1×10 2  ppt or more but 1×10 3  ppt or less. 
     
     
         2 . The method for producing an unfermented beer-taste beverage according to  claim 1 , wherein the sulfur-containing compound is a thiol group-containing volatile substance. 
     
     
         3 . The method for producing an unfermented beer-taste beverage according to  claim 1 , wherein the sulfur-containing compound is at least one of 3-methyl-2-butene-1-thiol and 3-methyl-2-butanethiol. 
     
     
         4 . The method for producing an unfermented beer-taste beverage according to  claim 1 , wherein the content of the sulfur-containing compound in the unfermented beer-taste beverage is 2×10 2  ppt or more but 5×10 2  ppt or less. 
     
     
         5 . The method for producing an unfermented beer-taste beverage according to  claim 1 , comprising adjusting a concentration of copper ions in the unfermented beer-taste beverage to 0.1 ppm or less. 
     
     
         6 . An unfermented beer-taste beverage comprising a sulfur-containing compound at 1×10 2  ppt or more but 1×10 3  ppt or less. 
     
     
         7 . The unfermented beer-taste beverage according to  claim 6 , wherein the sulfur-containing compound is a thiol group-containing volatile substance. 
     
     
         8 . The unfermented beer-taste beverage according to  claim 7 , wherein the sulfur-containing compound is at least one of 3-methyl-2-butene-1-thiol and 3-methyl-2-butanethiol. 
     
     
         9 . The unfermented beer-taste beverage according to  claim 7 , wherein the concentration of copper ions is 0.1 ppm or less. 
     
     
         10 . The unfermented beer-taste beverage according to  claim 7 , to which alcohol is added. 
     
     
         11 . The method for producing an unfermented beer-taste beverage according to  claim 2 , wherein the sulfur-containing compound is at least one of 3-methyl-2-butene-1-thiol and 3-methyl-2-butanethiol. 
     
     
         12 . The unfermented beer-taste beverage according to  claim 6 , wherein the sulfur-containing compound is at least one of 3-methyl-2-butene-1-thiol and 3-methyl-2-butanethiol.
