PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a favorably palatable and quality packaged carbonated beverage retaining foam-bursting feeling specific to a carbonated beverage and modified stimulation of carbon dioxide, further retaining flavor/color inherent in the beverage, and suppressed in multiplication of microorganisms to retain storability of the beverage: and to provide a method for producing the packaged carbonated beverage.SOLUTION: The packaged carbonated beverage is produced by pressing carbon dioxide into carbonated beverage raw material liquid containing nutritional elements derived from plants and animals, and charging the carbonated beverage liquid into a package. Specifically, the packaged carbonated beverage is produced by pressing carbon dioxide into carbonated beverage raw material liquid which is adjusted to have pH 4.6-8.0 and contains the nutritional elements derived from plants and animals, and charging the carbonated beverage liquid into which the carbonated beverage liquid is dissolved so as to have a carbon dioxide content of 0.46-0.74 wt.%, into the package to retain harmony between quality foam-bursting feeling and moderation of gas feeling. In the production of the carbonated beverage, the carbonated beverage liquid is charged into the package via aseptic charge for charging the carbonated beverage liquid into the package under sterile conditions.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】容器詰め炭酸飲料において、炭酸飲料特有の泡のはじけ感と改質された炭酸ガスの刺激を保持し、更に、飲料本来の香味・色調を保持し、かつ、微生物の繁殖を抑制して、飲料の保存性を保持した良好な嗜好性と品質を有する容器詰め炭酸飲料、及び、その製造方法を提供すること。【解決手段】動植物由来の栄養素を含む炭酸飲料原料液に炭酸ガスを圧入し、該炭酸飲料液を容器詰めして製造する容器詰め炭酸飲料において、pH4.6以上8.0以下に調整した動植物由来の栄養素を含む炭酸飲料原料液に、炭酸ガスを圧入し、炭酸ガス含有量が0.46~0.74%/%重量となるように溶解させた炭酸飲料液を、容器に充填することにより、良質な泡のはじけ感とガス感の緩和との調和を保持した容器詰め炭酸飲料を製造する。本発明の容器詰め炭酸飲料の製造において、炭酸飲料液の容器への充填は、無菌条件下で炭酸飲料液を容器に充填するアセプティック充填により行うことができる。【選択図】なし
