<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a beverage characterized by being free from such palate feeling as "roughness", "powderiness", "irritancy", etc., derived from water-insoluble dietary fibers (e.g. cellulose, bean-curd-refuse powder, corn fibers) despite containing the above fibers in high concentrations. <P>SOLUTION: The beverage having the characteristics is obtained by the following process: Water-insoluble dietary fiber powder is added to 0.5-100 wt.-fold fruit juice and/or vegetable juice and micronized to form a homogeneously treated product, which is then added to another batch of 1-100 wt.-fold fruit juice and/or vegetable juice followed by homogeneously admixing. The thus obtained beverage contains 0.05-4.0 wt.% of the water-insoluble dietary fiber powder. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
