Abstract
A beverage comprising a first ingredient which comprises a C6-C3 phenylpropenoic carbonyl compound in an effective amount to reduce degradation of a second ingredient in the beverage, the second ingredient being monatin, and to reduce a corresponding change in a characteristic of the beverage. In addition, a method of preventing the degradation of monatin in a monatin-containing composition is provided.
Claims21
A beverage comprising a first ingredient comprising a C6-C3 phenylpropenoic carbonyl structure represented by a formula selected from the group consisting of
- the first ingredient in an effective amount to reduce degradation of a second ingredient in the beverage, the second ingredient being monatin, and a corresponding change in a characteristic of the beverage.
A non-colored beverage comprising a first ingredient comprising a C6-C3 phenylpropenoic carbonyl structure represented by a formula selected from the group consisting of
- the first ingredient in an effective amount to reduce degradation of a second ingredient in the beverage, the second ingredient being monatin, and a corresponding color hue change in the beverage from no color hue to a color hue.
A method of preventing degradation of monatin in a monatin-containing beverage comprising:
- adding at least one monatin stabilizing compound wherein the monatin stabilizing compound comprises a C6-C3 phenylpropenoic carbonyl structure represented by a formula selected from the group consisting of
