BOISSONS ET ALIMENTS RESISTANTS A DES CHANGEMENTS DE SAVEUR INDUITS PAR LA LUMIERE, PROCEDES DE PRODUCTION DE CES DERNIERS ET COMPOSITIONS DESTINEES A CONFERER CETTE RESISTANCE
One aspect of the present invention is concerned with a composition comprising caramelised carbohydrate, which composition, when dissolved in water at a dry solids content of 0.1 wt. %, exhibits: i. an absorption at 280 nm (A280) that exceeds 0.01, preferably exceeds 0.05, more preferably exceeds 0.1 and most preferably exceeds 0.3； and ii. an absorption ratio A280/560 of at least 200, preferably of at least 250. Other aspects of the invention relate to a method of manufacturing a beverage or foodstuff that is resistant to light induced flavor changes, said method comprising introducing into said beverage or foodstuff a composition as defined above； and to a process for the manufacture of said composition.
