Abstract
Beverage compositions having enhanced shelf life are disclosed that contain juice-based compositions, vegetable extracts, ascorbic acid and glutathione. Glutathione at a pH of 4 or less is shown to inhibit browning and color degradation of the beverages without imparting a bad smell and taste that is usually associated with compositions with elevated amounts of glutathione.
