PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing a favorite beverage raw material extract that hardly causes a scale in a step of producing a favorite beverage raw material extract itself, and also hardly causes the scale in a step of producing a beverage packed in a container when the beverage packed in the container is prepared using a favorite beverage extract.SOLUTION: A method for producing a favorite beverage raw material extract includes the following steps (1) to (4) of: (1) extracting a favorite beverage raw material with water, and then subjecting the extracted raw material to solid-liquid separation to produce a water extraction solution (2) subjecting the water extraction solution obtained in the step (1) to a phytic acid decomposing enzyme treatment to produce an enzyme-treated extraction solution (3) bringing the enzyme-treated extraction solution obtained in the step (2) into contact with a cation exchange ion and (4) subjecting the enzyme-treated solution that has been brought into contact with the cation exchange ion obtained in the step (3) to an insoluble substance removing treatment.SELECTED DRAWING: NoneCOPYRIGHT: (C)2016,JPO&INPIT【課題】 嗜好飲料原料エキス自体の製造工程において、スケールが生じにくく、また、嗜好飲料エキスを用いて容器詰飲料を調製する場合において、その容器詰飲料の製造工程においても、スケールが発生しにくい、嗜好飲料原料エキスの製造方法を提供すること。【解決手段】 嗜好飲料原料エキスの製造方法であって、以下の工程(1)~(4)を含む、嗜好飲料エキスの製造方法。(1)嗜好飲料原料を水抽出した後、固液分離し、水抽出液を得る工程、(2)工程(1)で得られた水抽出液に対し、フィチン酸分解酵素処理を行い、酵素処理抽出液を得る工程、(3)工程(2)で得られた酵素処理抽出液を陽イオン交換樹脂と接触させる工程、(4)工程(3)で得られた陽イオン交換樹脂と接触させた酵素処理液に対し不溶物除去処理を行う工程【選択図】 なし
