Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a sea level of 200 meters or less.
Deep seawater, which is clean seawater taken from the above deep sea, is used as a mineral source for physical and chemical treatments other than filtration.
By containing a predetermined amount without treatment ,
The present invention relates to a completely new soft drink containing a quantitative element .

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, many kinds of soft drinks have been marketed, but the taste of consumers has recently changed from colored drinks such as cola to transparent drinks such as sports drinks. What is this sports drink?
It is a drink unique to Japan, also called “ion supply drink”, and its main purpose is to effectively replenish water and replenish electrolytes, especially after sports. This drink is characterized by being a non-colored beverage with low sugar content.

The above-mentioned cola is obtained by dissolving raw material powder in purified water and diluting it with carbonated water, and sports drinks are also produced by chemically treating purified water or natural mineral water. It is manufactured by adding sugar, sugar, vitamins and synthetic flavors.

[0004]

However, such conventional soft drinks and sports drinks do not contain all the natural trace elements (minerals) required by the human body, and are therefore suitable for health drinks. The situation is that we are not always satisfied with what we have achieved. Especially in recent years, the importance of naturally occurring trace elements has been reviewed. Further, purified salt is usually added as an essential salt to the human body, but natural salt collected from seawater contains more trace elements than such purified salt, and is excellent as a salt to be added to beverages. However, surface water in seawater cannot be used for drinking in the present age where ocean pollution has advanced.

Therefore, the present invention solves the problems of such conventional soft drinks and sports drinks,
The purpose of the present invention is to obtain a healthy beverage containing deep seawater that is clean and contains many natural trace elements (minerals).

Ordinary drinking water refers to drinking-friendly water that meets the water quality standards according to the Water Supply Act, and in this embodiment, this drinking-water is filtered with a strainer. Similarly, deep sea water is also filtered through a strainer and put into a mixing tank together with the above drinking water according to a preset mixing ratio. As described in detail below, sugar, fruit juice, vitamin C, etc. It is manufactured by stirring and mixing with the auxiliary raw materials.

The above-mentioned deep sea water is clean sea water taken from a deep sea of 200 meters or more below the sea level, and the deep sea water and the above-mentioned drinking water are mixed according to the mixing ratio determined according to the type of product. To produce a mixed solution. FIG. 1 is a chart showing an example of steps of a method for producing a soft drink to which the present embodiment is applied. First, in step 1, drinking water that meets normal water quality standards is prepared, and in step 2, filtration by a strainer is performed. In parallel with this, deep ocean water is prepared in step 3 and similarly filtered by a strainer in step 4. The present invention can perform physical and chemical treatments other than filtration.
It is characterized by mixing in an untreated state. Immediately

Is. In this way, physical and chemical treatments other than filtration are performed.
It can be used in the untreated state without
Only deep water is possible.

Next, in step 5, the drinking water and the deep sea water are blended in a preset blending ratio and placed in a blending tank and sufficiently mixed with stirring. This mixed solution is heated to a predetermined temperature in step 6, for example, about 70 ° C., sugar raw materials such as honey are added in step 7, raw material juice such as yuzu fruit juice is added in step 8, and then step 9 is further performed. Then, an auxiliary material such as vitamin C is added, and the mixture is stirred again in step 10 to obtain a homogenized beverage.

On the other hand, a bottle as a container cleaned by the washing bottle process and the warm bottle process in steps 11 and 12 is prepared, and in step 13, the homogenized beverage is filled in the bottle using a filling machine. Then, in step 14, deaeration and sterilization are performed at about 80 ° C. for 30 minutes, and in step 15, the cap is capped and overturned. Then, in step 16, it is immersed in cooling water for cooling.
Next, in step 17, the bottle is inspected for damage, the presence or absence of foreign matter, and the appearance are inspected. In step 18, the labeled product is subjected to a labeling process by a labeler, and then in step 19, packaging is performed to complete the product.

The above-mentioned manufacturing process is changed depending on the type and properties of the fruit juice to be added, the addition ratio, the type of auxiliary raw material, the required quality standard of the product, the difference in the container, and the like. A step of adding a subsidiary material may be added. In addition, even in the same process, the operating method and conditions may be different. Furthermore, natural mineral water can be used as drinking water.

The mixing ratio of the drinking water and the deep sea water varies depending on the kind of the product, but the deep sea water is usually 1 to 1.
It is preferable that the compounding amount be 20% by weight.
Table 1 discloses four formulation examples that are considered suitable.

[0016]

[Table 1]

From Table 1, the blending ratio of the soft drink according to this example is 1-20% by weight of deep sea water, 0-5% of raw material juice, 6-10% of sugar raw material, and auxiliary raw materials. Is 0
0.2%, the rest is drinking water. The proportion of sports drinks as prototypes is about 5% deep sea water, about 5% yuzu juice, and about 10% honey as a sweetener.
Vitamin C was about 0.2%, and the balance was mineral water (Shimanto River source water). As a result, a soft drink having a unique flavor with moderate saltiness and sweetness of yuzu juice was obtained.

The deep sea water adopted in this embodiment will be described below. In other words, this deep sea water is seawater in an environment where convection and mixing due to changes in surface temperature such as wind waves and surface temperature that are usually found in the ocean surface layer do not occur, and various oils, chemical substances, pesticides, etc. used on the ground Not affected by marine pollution due to toxic substances in Moreover, it has the characteristics that the dissolved organic matter in seawater is very small and it is extremely clean from the viewpoint of microorganisms. The water temperature is as low as 10 degrees Celsius or less on average annually, and it contains many natural elements required by the human body. This deep sea water is currently practically used only at three locations in the world, "off Norway", "off Hawaii" and "off Muroto Cape in Kochi Prefecture".
The deep sea water used in this example was taken from a depth of 320 meters off Cape Muroto.

The 320m depth layer off Cape Muroto has a water temperature of 9 ° C, a salinity of 3.43% and a DO (dissolved oxygen) of 4.4pp.
It has been confirmed that the environment is relatively stable around m. Of the three types of nitrogen contained in the deep water that was taken, ammonia nitrogen and nitrite nitrogen were very small and had little effect on living organisms. As the water depth increases, the concentration increases, and 95% or more of inorganic dissolved nitrogen in water at a water depth of 200 meters or less is present in 24 μM as nitrate nitrogen. In addition, 1.7 μM of phosphoric acid phosphorus and 41 μM of silicic acid silicon are dissolved, and each has a nutrient concentration of 5 to 10 times or more that of the surface layer portion.

As a method of utilizing such deep sea water, the deep sea water is used for tourism purposes such as hot springs and pools, and focusing on its low temperature, industrial use such as cooling and temperature difference power generation. Attempts have been made to use it for fisheries purposes such as fish, seaweed, coral cultivation, and plankton cultivation.

Natural elements contained in the deep sea water and essential for the growth of the living body include Fe (iron), I (iodine), and Cu.
(Copper), Mn (manganese), Zn (zinc), Co (cobalt), Mo (molybdenum), Se (selenium), Cr
(Chromium), Sn (tin), V (vanadium), F (fluorine), Si (silicon), Ni (nickel), As (arsenic) are 15 elements, and these elements are all well balanced in deep sea water. The major feature is that it is included. Therefore, it can be said that deep sea water has great potential for the growth and multiplication of marine life. Such potential has been proved from the fact that it has been used in aquaculture experiments on red sea bream, kelp, deep-sea coral, etc. in recent years and has produced great results. In particular, it is reported that the deep sea water off the coast of Norway is called fjord deep water and is suitable for salmon aquaculture.

The number of viable bacteria in deep sea water is one digit or more smaller than that in surface water, and since it contains almost no pathogenic organisms, it is related to diseases caused by fish disease fungi derived from seawater. There is no fear of it, and it has the great feature that it is extremely safe when used in beverages. The present invention, by incorporating the natural elements contained in such deep sea water into the drinking water, to provide a beverage having a characteristic that can not be realized in the conventional soft drink that promotes the growth of the living body. It is the main point.

Next, Table 2 shows the results of measuring the water quality of the deep sea water taken off Cape Muroto and ordinary surface water.

[0024]

[Table 2]

As shown in Table 2, deep sea water has a lower temperature than ordinary surface water, and DO (dissolved oxygen) is low, but nitrate nitrogen (NO ₃ -N) or phosphate phosphorus (PO) is used. _Four
-P) and various nutrient salts such as silicic acid silicon (SiO ₂ -Si) are increasing, and the viable cell count is decreasing by one digit or more.

Next, Table 3 shows the results of comparing the raw materials of the soft drink to which this embodiment was applied and various sports drinks already on the market, and Table 4 shows the soft drink A to which this embodiment was applied, The result of having analyzed the component of B and C and various commercially available sports drinks is shown.

[0028]

[Table 4] As shown in Table 4, the soft drinks A, B, and
Regarding the taste of C, yuzu juice was matched with moderate saltiness and sweetness, and a product that was comparable to various commercially available sports drinks was obtained by comparing the tastes alone.

[0029]

As described above in detail, the soft drink according to the present invention can effectively utilize the trace elements contained in the deep ocean water in a well-balanced manner, and can As described above, it is possible to provide a health drink containing all trace elements and natural salts necessary for the growth of the human body, in addition to simply supplying water and replenishing electrolytes after sports. Furthermore, by adding a sugar raw material, a fruit juice raw material, and an auxiliary raw material such as vitamins to the beverage, it is possible to obtain a soft drink having an appropriate saltiness, sweetness and fruit juice flavor. By using natural mineral water as drinking water, a refreshing taste can be enhanced.

Therefore, according to the present invention, it has a taste comparable to that of conventional soft drinks such as cola, isotonic drinks, and ion-supplied drinks, and is sufficiently satisfactory for health drinks in which trace minerals are well balanced. It becomes possible to provide drinks that can be produced, and the effect of increasing the commercial value of the product.
