<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a carbonate beverage excellent in function and preference as a thirst-satisfying beverage by reinforcing or maintaining a carbonate beverage specific carbonic acid feeling (a refreshing and strong stimulation and feeling on drinking caused by the carbon dioxide gas and also a cool feeling (a fresh feeling) caused by the carbon dioxide and a flavor) which is decreased rapidly after opening a plug by the combination of used raw materials such as a fruit juice, a sweetener, a coloring matter, an aromatizing agent, etc., and by the degassing of carbon dioxide gas. <P>SOLUTION: By adding an additive for the carbonate beverage consisting of spilanthol, a plant extract or plant essential oil containing the spilanthol as an active ingredient to the carbonate beverage, the decrease of the carbonic acid feeling caused by the combination of the raw materials such as the fruit juice, sweetener, etc., is improved. Further, the decrease of the carbonic acid feeling caused by the degassing of the carbon dioxide after opening the plug is inhibited and the function and preference as the thirst-satisfying beverage required originally for the carbonate beverage is maintained after opening the plug. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
