1458934 Frozen beverages containing artificial sweetener GENERAL FOODS CORP 16 April 1975 [25 April 1974] 15681/75 Heading C6E An aqueous, fruit flavoured beverage or beverage concentrate of pH 2À3-7À0 containing in solution as sweetener L-alpha-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester is cooled at a rate which crystallizes part of the aqueous system to a solid with lower concentration of ester than the solution, to increase concentration of ester in the unfrozen phase, and thereafter the entire solution is frozen and is stored at below freezing point. The stability of the ester is stated to be enhanced by the differential freezing treatment. An example describes the preparation of an orange flavoured, spoonable beverage concentrate from specified ingredients, including the ester. The prepared concentrate was frozen in the manner given above, and the frozen concentrate was ground and charged into cans which were then sealed. The canned product was stored for 12 months at 0‹F and at 15‹F, without any substantial loss of sweetness. |
