Abstract: The present invention relates to a beverage having excellent photodegradation resistance. More particularly, the present invention relates to a photodegradation resistant beverage comprising a fat-free milk solid content and fat content, the fat content comprising not less than 70% by mass vegetable fat and oil, and the vegetable fat and oil is selected from the group consisting of coconut oil, sunflower oil and a mixture thereof.

Abstract: Provided is a coffee beverage which achieves a good balance between sweet, bitter, and unpleasant tastes at both liquid temperatures of 10° C. or less, which is a liquid-temperature of the beverage while refrigerated, and around ordinary temperature (for example, 20 to 30° C.), which is an assumed liquid temperature of the beverage when it is drunk. The coffee beverage comprises fructose, maltose, and a cacao extract. Fructose is contained in a form of, for example, glucose-fructose syrup. Maltose is contained in a form of, for example, maltose syrup. The content of glucose-fructose syrup and the content of maltose syrup in the coffee beverage are each preferably 1 to 10% by weight. The weight ratio between glucose-fructose syrup and maltose syrup is preferably 3:1 to 1:3. The content of the cacao extract in the coffee beverage is preferably 0.01 to 0.1% by weight. The coffee beverage can further comprise sugar.

Abstract: A method for producing an extract and/or a squeezed liquid, which includes: feeding a food to be extracted and/or squeezed into a crushing apparatus; adding a solvent into the crushing apparatus immediately after and/or while milling the food; extracting and/or squeezing a useful food component of the food into the solvent; and carrying out liquid-solid separation by removing the resulting extracted residue and/or squeezed residue with a continuous solid-liquid separation apparatus.

Abstract: A food objective for extraction and/or squeezing is charged into a colloid mill or a twin-screw extruder; immediately after and/or while milling, a low-temperature solvent (for example, water or milk of from ?3 to 50° C.) is added; and after treating the food using the extruder, grounds are removed to produce an extract and/or a squeezed liquid.

Abstract: A food objective for extraction and/or squeezing is charged into a colloid mill or a twin-screw extruder; immediately after and/or while milling, a low-temperature solvent (for example, water or milk of from ?3 to 50° C.) is added; and after treating the food using the extruder, grounds are removed to produce an extract and/or a squeezed liquid. After milling objective foods, for example, a single product or a combination of foods such as coffee, green tea, black tea, herb tea, wild grass tea, Chinese medical tea, cocoa, vanilla, fruit, and vegetable, extraction and/or squeezing can be rapidly and extremely efficiently carried out at a low temperature, which is appropriate for the mass and continuous production. Furthermore, in comparison with the conventional employed extraction and/or squeezing methods such as a low-temperature extraction method which leads to deterioration in flavor due to oxidation after milling, etc.
