NATURAL ORIGIN SWEETENER FOR IMPROVING SWEETNESS, AND PREPARING METHOD OF ALCOHOLIC LIQUORS USING THE SAME

摘要

PURPOSE: A manufacturing method of improved sweetener and alcoholic beverage containing the sweetener are provided to be able to provide an excellent flavor and functionality compared to the existing Soju with a minimum amount of sweetener. CONSTITUTION: 0.5-0.8 parts by weight of maltodextrine are added to 1 part by weight of stevia extract concentrate. An enzyme reaction is conducted with alpha glucosyltransferase to manufacture enzyme-treated stevia concentrate. 99.8-99.95 parts by weight of the enzyme-treated stevia concentrate and 0.05-0.2 parts by weight of thaumatin concentrate are mixed to manufacture a mixed concentrate and stir. The stirred mixed concentrate is sterilized and spray-dried with stirring. Soju includes the sweetener at 0.012-0.018 % (w/v).
