<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a rice-based refreshing beverage, and to provide a method for producing the same. <P>SOLUTION: The method for producing the rice-based refreshing beverage comprises the following process: 12.6 pts.wt. of water is added to 2 pts.wt. of koji (malted rice) and 1.5 pts.wt. of steamed rice, and the mixture is kept in a 50-60°C thermal insulation chamber for 14 h or longer and brought to a saccharification degree of 18°. The resulting saccharified liquid is filtered, and 600 mL, per 10 L of the filtrate, of fruit juice of about 50 acidity obtained by squeezing plum fruits is added to the filtrate to effect the filtrate at a pH of lower than 4.0 with a titration acidity of 3.0 or higher. The resultant filtrate is compounded with an appropriate amount of common salt followed by conducting a heat treatment at 65°C or higher for 5-15 min. Subsequently, 306 mL, per L of the resultant liquid, of Koporokku (TM) is added to the liquid, and, after the lapse of 24-30 h, the resultant precipitate is filtered off, and the filtrate is then heat-treated at 80-85°C. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
