PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a nootkatone-containing beverage with improved swallowability and chuggability.SOLUTION: The present invention provides a packed beverage that contains nootkatone and has emulsified particles blended therein, the emulsified particles having an average particle diameter of 50-250 nm. In the packed beverage, the nootkatone concentration may be 0.01-10 ppm, the average particle diameter of the emulsified particles may be 200 nm or less, the Na+ concentration may be 10-100 mg/100 ml, and the osmotic pressure of the beverage may be 100-500 mOsm/kg. The present invention also provides a method for producing a packed beverage that contains nootkatone and has emulsified particles blended therein, the method including the steps of: blending the emulsified particles having an average particle diameter of 50-250 nm to prepare a beverage and packing the prepared beverage into a container.SELECTED DRAWING: NoneCOPYRIGHT: (C)2017,JPO&INPIT【課題】ヌートカトンを配合した飲料において、飲み込み易さや一気飲みし易さ(chuggability)が向上した飲料の提供。【解決手段】ヌートカトンを含有する、乳化粒子が配合された容器詰飲料であって、乳化粒子の平均粒子径が50~250nmである容器詰飲料。ヌートカトンの濃度が0.01~10ppm、乳化粒子の平均粒子径が200nm以下、Na+濃度が10~100mg/100ml、飲料の浸透圧が100~500mOsm/kgである容器詰飲料。ヌートカトンを含有する、乳化粒子が配合された容器詰飲料の製造方法であって、平均粒子径が50~250nmの乳化粒子を配合して飲料を調製する工程と、調製した飲料を容器に充填する工程と、を含む、容器詰飲料の製造方法。【選択図】なし
