PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing a drink derived from vegetable material(s), rich in nutrients and having good taste or mouthfeel by involving a means comprising squeezing vegetable materials without blanching followed by enzyme deactivation and a 2nd means comprising eliminating flocculation or segregation in view of the fact that when vegetable material(s) is squeezed without making, prior to squeezing, a blanching as a cause of losing nutrients, an enzyme is released, resulting in occurrence of flocculation or segregation and often obtaining a drink with poor mouthfeel. SOLUTION: This method for producing a drink derived from vegetable material(s) comprises a step of squeezing at least one vegetable material, a 2nd step of heating the resultant squeezed juice to effect sterilization and enzyme deactivation and a 3rd step of homogenizing the juice thus treated; wherein the heating step is characterized by being finished either prior to or simultaneously with finishing the homogenization step. |
