The present invention relates to a browning-inhibiting composition containing a compound represented by the following formula (1):wherein R21, R22, R23, R24, R26 and R27 each independently represent a hydrogen atom or a substituent, and at least one of R21 or R23 is a hydrogen atom； when R23 represents a hydrogen atom, at least one of R22 or R24 represents a substituent； R25 represents a hydrogen atom, an oxygen atom, or a substituent； R22 and R23, or R23 and R24 may be bonded together to form a ring with an oxygen atom and a carbon atom to which these Rs are bonded； R25 and R26, or R26 and R27 may be bonded together to form a ring structure with carbon atoms to which these Rs are bonded； X represents an oxygen atom or —；CH2—；； and a dashed line may represent a double bond.
