The present invention relates to a flavor improver comprising a brown sugar aromatic fraction, wherein the brown sugar aromatic fraction comprises an eluted fraction which is produced by a production method comprising the steps of: concentrating a sugar cane squeeze by heating until the Brix value (Bx) becomes 65 to 82, thereby producing a concentrated liquor; distilling the concentrated liquor while heating under ambient pressure, then collecting steam that is generated in a temperature range from 110 to 130°C, and then cooling the collected steam to produce a distillate; and allowing the distillate to pass through a column in which a synthetic adsorbent has been filled as an immobilization carrier, and then allowing an adsorbed component, which is adsorbed onto the synthetic adsorbent, to elute with an elution solvent, thereby producing the eluted fraction. |
