PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a packed acidic tea drink maintaining the flavor characteristic of the acidic tea drink, in a packed acidic tea drink whose pH is regulated to 4.6 or lower such as a fruit juice-filled tea drink, in which deterioration in the acidic tea drink caused by the long term storage of the packed acidic tea drink, circulation owing to a transparent container and light exposure upon storage is effectively prevented, and the generation of acidity and astringent taste caused by the deterioration is suppressed.SOLUTION: Provided is a packed acidic tea drink in which the total polyphenol content in the drink measured by iron tartrate absorption photometry is 1 to 100 mg/100 ml, and pH is 4.6 or lower, by the incorporation of indigestible dextrin by 0.5 wt.% or higher to the acidic tea drink, the storage deterioration in the acidic tea drink is suppressed. In this packed acidic tea drink, by the incorporation of the indigestible dextrin in a specified amount, the flavor characteristic of the acidic tea drink can be maintained, further, its deterioration caused by the long term storage of the drink and light exposure upon circulation and storage can be effectively suppressed, and the packed acidic tea drink having satisfactory flavor and stable to deterioration is provided.SELECTED DRAWING: None【課題】果汁入り紅茶飲料のようなｐＨ４．６以下に調整された容器詰酸性茶飲料において、容器詰酸性茶飲料の長期保存や、透明容器による流通、保存時の光暴露による酸性茶飲料の劣化を有効に防止し、該劣化による酸味や苦渋味の発生を抑制して、酸性茶飲料特有の本来の香味を保持した、容器詰酸性茶飲料を提供すること。【解決手段】酒石酸鉄吸光光度法で測定される飲料中の総ポリフェノール量が１～１００ｍｇ／１００ｍｌであり、ｐＨ４．６以下の酸性茶飲料において、該酸性茶飲料に対して、難消化性デキストリンを０．５重量％以上含有させたことにより、酸性茶飲料の保存劣化が抑制された容器詰酸性茶飲料を提供する。本発明の容器詰酸性茶飲料においては、難消化性デキストリンの特定量の含有により、酸性茶飲料特有の本来の香味を保持することができ、しかも、飲料の長期保存や、流通、保存時の光暴露による劣化を有効に抑制することができ、香味の良い、しかも劣化に対して安定した容器詰酸性茶飲料を提供する。【選択図】なし
