The present invention provides: a novel beverage having foam retentivity; and a method for improving foam retentivity. The present invention provides a beverage containing rebaudioside D and a compound represented by formula (1)(in the formula, Rrepresents Xyl(1-2)Glc1-, and Rrepresents Glc(1-2)[Glc(1-3)]Glc1-, Glc represents glucose, and Xyl represents xylose), wherein the sum of the content of rebaudioside D and the compound represented by formula (1) is 30-600 ppm, and the content of the compound represented by formula (1) in terms of mass is 0.5-95% of the aforementioned sum.

Beverage having foam retentivity and method for improving foam retentivity of beverage

A steviol glycoside composition having a total content of specific nine types of steviol glycosides is equal to or more than 60% by weight and less than 95% by weight and the total content of other steviol glycosides and-derived components is 5 to 40% by weight each relative to the total solid content weight of composition, weight-based ratios of rebaudioside A and rebaudioside D relative to the total content of the nine steviol glycosides are 35 to 75% and 5 to 30% by weight, respectively, and the composition has at least one of: methanol content is 0.10% by weight or less relative to the total content of the nine steviol glycosides; polyphenol content is 2.0% by weight or less relative to the total content of the nine steviol glycosides; and nitrogen amount is 0.40% by weight or less relative to the total amount of the nine steviol glycosides.

Steviol glycoside composition

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a crystal of rebaudioside D that exhibits high solubility in water. In one embodiment, the present invention provides a rebaudioside D crystal having a crystalline form α that shows peaks in X-ray diffraction (CuKα: λ=1.5405 Å) at two or more positions selected from the group consisting of 2θ=6.7±0.2 deg, 10.8±0.2 deg, 12.9±0.15 deg, and 22.2±0.2 deg.

Highly-soluble rebaudioside D

The purpose of the present invention is to: determine the structure of a novel steviol glycoside which is detected from species containing a large amount of Reb. C (also referred to as dulcoside B), and a trace amount of which is capable of influencing the quality of taste; and understand the taste characteristics of said steviol glycoside. The present invention provides a compound represented by formula (1) or a salt thereof, or a hydrate thereof.

Beverage, method for producing beverage, and method for suppressing foaming of beverage

An embodiment of the present invention provides a carbonated beverage comprising a stevia extract in which foaming is suppressed and a method for producing the same. A carbonated beverage comprising RebA and RebD and/or RebM, wherein a content of RebA is 500 ppm or less; a content of RebD and/or RebM is 486 ppm or less; ((RebD and/or RebM)/RebA) is 0.45 or more in a mass ratio; and a total content of RebA and RebD and/or RebM is 0.5 to 13.5 in Brix in terms of sucrose.

Carbonated beverage, syrup used for preparing carbonated beverage, method for manufacturing carbonated beverage, and method for suppressing foaming in carbonated beverage

An embodiment of the present invention provides a carbonated beverage comprising aextract in which foaming is suppressed and a method for producing the same. A carbonated beverage comprising RebA and RebD and/or RebM, wherein a content of RebA is 500 ppm or less; a content of RebD and/or RebM is 486 ppm or less; ((RebD and/or RebM)/RebA) is 0.45 or more in a mass ratio; and a total content of RebA and RebD and/or RebM is 0.5 to 13.5 in Brix in terms of sucrose.
