Compositions and methods for inhibiting precipitation of dyes in a beverage

摘要

A beverage product containing a first azo-component and a second azo-component in a weight about 1:99 to about 999:1; an electrolyte; and a solvent, wherein the first azo-component and the second- component remain in solution for at least seven days. Preferably, the weight ratio fo the first azo-component to the second azo-component is about 1:9 to about 9:1, and the beverage composition contains no more than 0.12 wt% benzaldehyde. Thus, prevention of precipitation of azo-components from the beverage can be achieved.
