Soft intermediate-moisture frozen beverage concentrates

摘要

Microbiologically stable beverage concentrates which are usually kept at freezer temperature, but which can be maintained at room temperature and refrigerator temperature for an extended period of time. An example of a composition of this invention is an orange juice concentrate containing: 29.65% water, 70% sugar and a minor but effective amount of flavoring and citric acid. This product is semi-soft at freezer temperature and microbiologically stable. This product may also contain up to about 75 p.p.m. of a quinine salt. Tea concentrates are also prepared.
