The beverage according to claim 1 , wherein the mass ratio is 0.52 to 1.05. An embodiment of the present invention relates to a beverage with suppressed decrease in degree of sweetness.There is an increasing demand for natural and low-calorie-oriented beverages. In pursuit of giving sweetness to beverages, much attention is being paid to high intensity natural sweeteners having a higher degree of sweetness than sucrose. In this context, a functional sweetener composition containing a vitamin, a high intensity sweetener, and a sweetness-improving composition is known (Patent Literature 1). There is also known a beverage containing a steviol glycoside as a natural sweetener (Patent Literature 2).Patent Literature 1: National Publication of International Patent Application No. 2009-517043Patent Literature 2: Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2015-502404Through research and development of natural and low-calorie-oriented beverages, the present inventors have found that a beverage containing a steviol glycoside as a high intensity sweetener experiences a decrease in sweetness during storage. A further study has led the inventors to infer that the decrease in sweetness is attributable to conversion of RebA which is a main component of a steviol glycoside.The present invention aims to provide a natural and low-calorie-oriented beverage with suppressed decrease in sweetness during storage.An embodiment of the present invention is a beverage meeting the following conditions: (A) a mass ...
