  • Publication number: 20090104320
    Abstract: Dairy-derived food products, particularly beverages, such as milk/juice blends, yogurt-based drinks, fermented milk beverages, and soft drinks, are disclosed. These compositions contain a stabilizing mixture comprising metal (in the form of ions, salts or oxides) such as zinc or magnesium, either alone or together with an adjunct component such as ascorbic acid. These beverage products do not form off-flavors when they are exposed to sunlight or fluorescent light. This provides for more efficient and inexpensive manufacture of the products and eliminates the need for expensive opaque packing materials.
