<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a liquid composition having original aroma derived from roasted coffee beans and favorable in transportability when freeze-stored and a process of producing the liquid composition. <P>SOLUTION: In the liquid composition containing at least 2-methyl furan as an aromatic component derived from the roasted coffee beans, the amount of dissolved carbon dioxide is set to not more than 1,000 ppm, and the value of 2-methyl furan/cyclohexanol which is the peak area ratio of 2-methyl furan to cyclohexanol is set to at least 3.58 when a 10g/L cyclohexanol aqueous solution of 250 μL is used as an internal standard material, and peak areas of 2-methyl furan and cyclohexanol are measured by a head space method. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
