Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide fermented beverages that give no sweetness in aftertaste and which have less off-flavors by a technique that will not affect the principal taste and aroma characteristics and which is highly acceptable to consumers. To attain this object, the proportion of trisaccharides in the assimilable sugars in the fermentation raw material solution or fermenting solution is adjusted, such that the yet-to-be assimilated sugars which remain in the fermenting step will not consist mainly of trisaccharides. Specifically, fermentation is performed while the proportion of trisaccharides in assimilable sugars in the fermentation raw material solution is adjusted to be no more than 25 wt %.

Abstract: Beer-flavored fermented beverages made from malt or other grains maintain their high quality for a long period of time without changing quality and remain as flavorful as they are immediately after production. Fermented beverages such as beer, happoshu, miscellaneous alcohol beverages and low-alcohol fermented malt beverages having high storage stability are provided by increasing the sulfurous acid concentration in the fermented beverages to 5.0 ppm or above. This is done by adjusting the concentration of free amino nitrogen (FAN value) in wort and other fermentation liquids to 25 mg/100 mL or below and adding a mineral source for fermentation.

Abstract: It is a common concern among beverages to avoid or prevent off-flavors (unpleasant smells) from developing during a yeast-based fermentation step. The present invention relates to low-alcohol beverages produced through a fermentation stopping process and provides a method for producing fermented beverages with less off-flavor and with an excellent aroma. The L-methionine concentration and the free amino nitrogen level (FAN level) in wort are adjusted to reduce the hydrogen sulfide concentration and the T-VDK concentration, thus enabling the production of fermented beverages with less off-flavor, i.e., sulfur and diacetyl smells.

Abstract: A spiral wound type membrane element is formed by winding independent or continuous envelope-like membranes around the peripheral surface of a water collection pipe and interposing raw water spacers between the envelope-like membranes. When running, raw water is supplied from at least the periphery side of the spiral wound type membrane element and permeate is taken out from an opening end of the water collection pipe. In back wash reverse filtration, permeate is introduced from the opening end of the water collection pipe and permeate guided out from the peripheral surface of the water collection pipe is discharged from at least the periphery side of the spiral wound type membrane element.
