Abstract: Disclosed is a method of reducing photooxidation or air oxidation in susceptible materials such as food, plastics or pharmaceuticals comprising mixing the material with an antioxidation composition comprising at least one amino acid, at least one metal ion, and at least one carboxylic acid in an amount effective to reduce photooxidation in the material.
Abstract: A stable composition containing milk, fruit or vegetable juice, gum-based stabilizers, and a composition containing an amino acid, an organic acid or inorganic acid, and a metal ion is disclosed. The composition is useful as a stable beverage with a pH from 3.0 to 7.0, preferably 3.0 to 4.6.
