Abstract

PURPOSE:To develop mellowness and lightness of alcohol drink without changing qualities of its own, by passing through alcohol drink through hydroxyapatite, granules or porous material. CONSTITUTION:Alcohol drink is passed through hydroxyapatite, granules or a porous material. Or the hydroxyapatite is immersed in the alcohol drink. For example, the bar-shaped sintered hydroxyapatite 13 is arranged in parallel with the inlet 11 in a container having the inlet 11 and the outlet 12. After the alcohol drink is passed through the device such as this, mellowness and lightness of alcohol drink can be developed without changing characteristic qualities of the alcohol drink.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a taste improving material for alcoholic beverages for improving the taste of alcoholic beverages.

Differences in individual preferences for alcoholic beverages such as wine, brandy, and whisky, from the shape of the bottle to the taste,
Many factors are interrelated, and there are large differences between individuals.

However, in recent years, consumer tastes and trends have changed among alcoholic beverages, especially whiskey.
Furthermore, there are demands for economy and quality, and at the same time, the development of whiskey that follows these trends is progressing, and the unique taste and richness of whiskey is also changing. On the other hand, existing whiskeys are still preferred in terms of elements that correspond to Ike's elements such as body and aroma, but existing whiskeys that take economic efficiency into account have good body, aroma, and taste, but are mellow. On top of that, there was a strong tingling sensation. Furthermore, even among the whiskeys that are currently being developed, there is still no whiskey that is mellow and light, but also rich and aromatic. Moreover, the above-mentioned trend is not limited to whisky, but relates to all alcoholic beverages, and as with whisky, there is still no product that satisfies this trend.

In view of the above, as a result of intensive research, the present inventors have surprisingly found that hydroxyapatite sintered body eliminates the irritation to the tongue during the taste of whisky, and maintains the mellowness and mellowness of alcoholic beverages without changing the unique quality. The present invention was achieved by discovering the fact that lightness was realized.

Below, the taste improving material for alcoholic beverages of the present invention will be described in detail regarding its material composition, manufacturing method, shape and structure, usage mode, etc.

Production method "Hydroxyapatite" in the present invention is not only a pure product whose chemical composition is represented by Ca1o(PO4)6(OH)2, but also a pure product whose chemical composition is represented by Ca1o(PO4)6(OH)2, as well as a pure product whose chemical composition is represented by Ca1o(PO4)6(OH)2. ) ions, fluoride, and chloride ions.

Ikegata, the sintered body is generally made by molding hydroxyapatite powder into a mold or rubber press at a temperature of 500 to 3,000K.
It is obtained by compression molding into a desired shape under a pressure of about g/c+n2, and then sintering it at a temperature of about 700 to 1,300°C. For more details, refer to the following known techniques. Ru. That is, JP-A No. 51-40400, No. 52-142707, No. 52-147606, No. 52-
149895, 53-110999, Special Publication No. 57-4
0776 and 57-40803 0 When the sintered body is a porous body, a binder is added to the hydroxyapatite powder to form a slurry, and the slurry is impregnated into a porous polymeric material such as polyurethane foam, and heated at 900°C.
Fired at 1,300'(:').

In addition, if this is to be made into granules or granules, the apatite slurry is made into granules using a granulator, and then heated at 900°C to 1,3
It was fired at 00°C.

Incidentally, the passage speed of the whiskey can be varied by changing the diameter of the granules or the pore diameter of the porous body, and it is particularly suitable for use to set the diameter to 1 μm1 to 111 m.

Shape or Structure The taste improving material for alcoholic beverages of the present invention can be made into any desired shape depending on the purpose of use, and examples of its shape will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a container having an inlet 11 and an outlet 12, in which a rod-shaped sintered hydroxyapatite body 13 is placed parallel to the inlet 11. FIG. 2 shows a container similar to that shown in FIG. 1, in which a whiskey inlet 21 and a mesh filter are arranged, and granular hydroxyapatite sintered bodies 23 are placed inside. FIG. 3 shows a container similar to that shown in FIG. 1 in which a porous body 33 of sintered hydroxyapatite is placed. FIG. 4 shows the product immersed directly into the whiskey container.

The container containing the hydroxyapatite sintered body may be placed in the spout of the whiskey container, or the hydroxyapatite sintered body may be formed into a rod shape and the whiskey may be stirred.

As is clear from the above, the taste-improving material for alcohol according to the present invention can take various shapes and sizes in terms of its use, and is not particularly limited to its form.

In terms of usage, the sintered hydroxyapatite compact is simply dipped in or passed through the whiskey, and it has a simple structure, and has remarkable effects such as suppressing irritation to the tongue and producing mild and soft whisky. be.

Next, the present invention will be specifically explained with reference to Examples.

Example ■ Hydroxyapatite powder was synthesized by gradually dropping 0.5 mol/r calcium hydroxide and 0.3 mol/l phosphoric acid solution, reacting at 37°C for one day, and filtering and drying the powder. Obtained.

A binder is added to 15 g of this synthetic powder to make a slurry, which is made into granules with an average diameter of 5 mm using a granulator.
, and sintered at 250°C for 1 hour.

Next, the cylindrical body made of polyethylene has an inner diameter comparable to the outer diameter of the spout of the whiskey container, and fits into the spout of the whiskey container. This cylindrical body has ventilation holes 5
4. The inlet 52 and the outlet 51 are each provided with a mesh thin film made of polyethylene. The granules were housed inside this mesh thin film to obtain the filter shown in FIG.

Commercially available second grade sake (manufactured by Suntory) was filtered through a filter using the above-mentioned taste improving material for alcoholic beverages, and sensory evaluation was performed by a panel of 20 people, and the results shown in Table 1 were obtained.

Table 1 All items had a significant difference with a risk rate of 1% or less.

Example ■ 15 g of the same hydroxyapatite powder as in Example 1 was filled into a mold with an inner diameter of 15 m + n' and a length of 30 mm, and compression molded at a pressure of 500 Kg/Cl112 to obtain a green compact with a bulk density of 1.6 g/cm2. Ta. This is 1,
Sintering treatment was performed at 250°C for 1 hour. The above-mentioned hydroxyapatite sintered body is commercially available 2nd grade sake (manufactured by Futtsukaukiski) 2
After being immersed in 50 cc for about 1 minute and stirred, a sensory evaluation was performed by a panel of 20 people, and the results shown in Table 2 were obtained.

Table 2 All items had a significant difference with a risk rate of 1% or less.
