Abstract
An aqueous beverage solution includes L-ascorbic acid and EDTA. The resulting solution is free of sufficient constituents which could mask color change due to oxidation of the L-ascorbic acid. A color and/or turbidity of the beverage is substantially stable over a desired predetermined time.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified55 . An aqueous beverage solution comprising:
