PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a coffee beverage packed in a container, which has a relatively high chlorogenic acid concentration, without odd taste or abnormal odors, after a long-term preservation, while solving the storage stability during long-term preservation and aimed at distribution and sales which are superior in the sensation of coffee.SOLUTION: The heat-sterilized coffee beverage packed in a container has (A) a range of chlorogenic acid concentration of 0.1 mass% or higher and lower than 0.14 mass%, (B) the mass ratio range of chlorogenic acid to tannin (according to FOLIN-DENIS method) of 0.6-1.0, and (C) the mass ratio range of dichlorogenic acid to chlorogenic acid of 0.07-0.16.COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT【課題】クロロゲン酸濃度が比較的高く、長期保存時の保存安定性を解決しながら、長期保存後の異味異臭がなく、コーヒー感に優れる流通販売を目的とした容器詰コーヒー飲料を提供する。【解決手段】(A)クロロゲン酸類濃度が0.1質量%以上0.14質量%未満であり、(B)クロロゲン酸類/タンニン(FOLIN-DENIS法)の質量比が0.6~1.0の範囲であり、かつ(C)ジクロロゲン酸類/クロロゲン酸類の質量比が0.07~0.16の範囲である、加熱殺菌処理を施した容器詰コーヒー飲料。【選択図】 なし
