Abstract
A fruit-based beverage contains light-fadable colouring material, for example from 0.1 to 100 ppm of bixin, which is the principal active colouring ingredient in annatto, from 0.1 to 30% by weight of a fruit-derived cloud, and/or from 0.01 to 1.0% by weight of wax-based cloud, for example from 3 to 7% by weight of disintegrated solid fruit residue, and from 0.3 to 0.7% by weight of wax-based cloud. The beverage has a reduced tendency to colour fade during its normal shelf life.
Description
SPECIFICATION
Composition
The present invention relates to a beverage composition and in particular to afruit-based beverage having good colour stability.
It is known to use carotenoid colouring agents, such as annatto, in various foodstuffs to impart a yellow or orange colour. Annatto is a particularly useful and inexpensive colouring agent, and it would clarly be advantageousto use it in beverages such as fruit squashes. Hitherto, this has not been a practical proposition since the colour of annatto fades during the shelf life of the beverage. It has now been discovered that by using annatto in a beverage having a natural or synthetic cloud content, the colourfadecan be reduced oreliminated throughout the shelf life, thereby giving the beverage greater consumer appeal.
According to the present invention there is provided a fruit-based beverage which includes a sufficient amount of lightfadable colouring material to providefrom 0.1 to 100 ppm of the active colouring ingredient present in the material, and from 0.1 to 30% by weight of a fruit-derived cloud and/or from 0.01 to 1.0% by weight of an alternative cloud composed of other ingredients.
Preferably,the lightfadable colouring material consists of a naturally occurring material, more preferably annatto. The principal active colouring ingredient in annatto is bixin, and this is preferably present in an amount offrom 1 to 10 ppm.
In order to maintain annatto as a dispersion in the beverage, it has been found necessary to solubilise annatto in a mildly alkaline aqueous solution containing at least 20% of a suitable emulsifier, such as polysorbate 80. A suitable source of solubilised annatto is obtained from Biocon Group, underthetrade name
Annatto WSA L1 17, which contains an alkaline extract of annatto together with polysorbate 80 and propylene glycol.
The fruit-derived cloud in the beverage of the invention is obtained in a manner well known to those skilled in the art, and it should be formuiated so as to remain in suspension during the normal shelf life ofthe beverage, without settling out in the container.
The preferred form of cloud comprises a disintegrated solid fruit residue, which may be kept in suspension by comminution or homogenisation and/or by using a gum material. A particularly preferred cloud is ob tained from a communated blend of citrus fruit peel and juice, which is pasteurised and homogenised in known manner.
In addition to, or instead of, a fruit-derived cloud, an alternative, preferably artificial, cloud may be employed which may be any of those conventionally used in the beverage art. A suitable cloud comprises a wax-based material which may be suspended in a gum matrix, such as gum arabic. Examples of suitable wax materials are beeswax, and carnuba wax, and a preferred cloud consists of beeswax stabilised with natural gums, as marketed by Robertet & Cie, Grasse, France underthe designation Cloudifier F/05875.
A mixture offruit-based and alternative clouds has been found to be particularly beneficial in the beverage of the present invention, the mixture preferably containing from about 3 to 7% byweight of disinteg rated solid fruit residue and from about 0.3 to 0.7% by weight of wax-based cloud.
In general, it has been found that the higherthe cloud densitythe morestablethe colourofthecolouring material, and the above amounts of cloud components in the cloud mixture provide the desired density for optimum colour stability.
The beverage ofthe invention may contain other ingredients conventionally used in the art, such as a fruit base, sugar (granulated or sugar syrup), artificial sweeteners (such as saccharin or aspartame), preservatives, acidulents, vitamins (such at vitamin C) and flavouring agents (natural or synthetic). The beverage may also be ready to drinkorcarbonated if desired, in accordancewith knowntechniques.
The beverage of the invention may be manufactured by mixing the ingredients, in known manner, at normal temperature and pressure, and pasteurising the mixture before bottling.
The invention is now illustrated by the following examples.
