Abstract: The present invention aims to provide a carbonated beverage that provides a good cooling sensation at the time of drinking, a production method thereof, and a method of improving cooling sensation of a carbonated beverage. The present invention relates to, for example, a carbonated beverage containing ethyl glycoside and at least one of citric acid or its salt, wherein a citric acid equivalent total concentration of the at least one of citric acid or its salt is 50 ppm or more, a ratio (B)/(A) of an ethyl glycoside concentration (B) to the citric acid equivalent total concentration (A) of the at least one of citric acid or its salt is 0.0003 to 200, and an ethanol concentration is less than 0.5 v/v %.

Abstract: An ethyl glucoside-containing composition containing ethyl glucoside; and at least one of an acid or its salt selected from the group consisting of phosphoric acid, ascorbic acid, lactic acid, and their salts, wherein the composition has an ethyl glucoside content of 0.4 wt % or more.

Abstract: The present invention aims to provide a non-alcoholic beer-taste beverage having an improved quality of bitterness. The present invention provides a non-alcoholic beer-taste beverage having an iso-?-acid content of 15 to 60 ppm and an ethyl glucoside content of 5 to 50 ppm, wherein a ratio of iso-?-acid to ethyl glucoside, i.e., iso-?-acid/ethyl glucoside, is 6.0 or less.

Abstract: The present invention aims to provide a limonene-containing alcoholic beverage whose limonene- and alcohol-induced bitterness is masked, a method of producing the same, a method of reducing limonene- and alcohol-induced bitterness of a limonene-containing alcoholic. beverage, and use of ethyl glycoside for reducing limonene- and alcohol-induced bitterness of a limonene-containing alcoholic beverage. The present invention relates to an alcoholic beverage containing 0.5 to 50 mg/L limonene and 5 to 5000 mg/L ethyl glycoside.

Abstract: The present invention aims to provide a caffeine-containing beverage having reduced bitterness. The present invention provides a caffeine-containing beverage containing caffeine and ethyl glycoside, wherein a weight ratio of ethyl glycoside to caffeine (ethyl glycoside/caffeine) is 0.05 to 50, a caffeine concentration is 80 to 1500 ppm, and an ethyl glycoside concentration is 50 to 20000 ppm.

Abstract: The present invention aims to provide a rebaudioside A-containing beverage, a production Method thereof, and a method of reducing bitterness of rebaudioside A, wherein the bitterness of rebaudioside A, particularly the bitter aftertaste of rebaudioside A, is reduced. The present invention relates to a rebaudioside A-containing beverage containing rebaudioside A at a concentration of 30 to 2000 ppm and an ethyl glycoside at a concentration of 5 to 5000 ppm.

Abstract: The present invention aims to provide a catechin-containing beverage having reduced bitterness, a production method thereof, and a method of reducing the bitterness of a catechin-containing beverage. The present invention relates to, for example, a catechin-containing beverage containing one or more catechins; and ethyl glycoside, wherein a weight ratio of the ethyl glycoside to the catechins (ethyl glycoside/catechins) is 0.5 to 35.

Abstract: The present invention relates to, for example, a method of producing a xanthohumol-containing composition, including: contacting a first mixture of a hop-derived, xanthohumol-containing component and a first solvent containing water and a water-miscible solvent with polyvinylpolypyrrolidone to adsorb xanthohumol on the polyvinylpolypyrrolidone; washing the polyvinylpolypyrrolidone containing xanthohumol adsorbed thereon with a second solvent; and eluting xanthohumol from the polyvinylpolypyrrolidone with a third solvent to obtain a xanthohumol-containing eluate, wherein the second solvent is an aqueous ethanol solution, and the third solvent is ethanol or an aqueous ethanol solution having a higher concentration than the second solvent.

Abstract: Provided is a monitoring device capable of easily ascertaining an abnormality. A monitoring device comprises: an acquisition unit which acquires actual operation data (53a) from a control device which controls an actual machine; a storage unit which stores reference operation data indicating reference operation of the actual machine, first related information and second related information; a timing chart generation unit which generates an actual operation timing chart and a reference operation timing chart, and displays the timing charts on a display device; and a simulation data generation unit which generates simulation data of a reference image and a real image.
