METHOD OF PRODUCING FOAMING ALCOHOLIC DRINK AND FOAMING ALCOHOLIC DRINK PRODUCED BY USING THE METHOD

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2006/077988

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

In a method of producing a beer-like foaming alcoholic drink without resorting to barley, wheat or malt which comprises using a syrup containing a carbon source, a nitrogen source, hop, a coloring matter, material(s) for improving foaming and foam qualities and water to thereby prepare a pre-fermentation liquor and then fermenting this pre-fermentation liquor with the use of a yeast, a protein-digesting enzyme having a high endo-protease activity and being capable of partly digesting high-molecular weight proteins is added as one of the starting materials together with pea protein in the feeding step to thereby conduct an enzyme reaction treatment. Thus, a beer-like foaming alcoholic drink having improved foaming characteristics and a method of producing the same can be provided. The ratio of the protein-digesting enzyme to be added appropriately ranges from 0.5 to 2% based on the pea protein after 10-fold concentrating the pea protein. It is preferable that the enzyme reaction temperature is from 80 to 85^oC while the reaction time is 30 minutes.
