A solid product for use in the flavoring of food or beverages which comprises a water-insoluble calcium, magnesium, nickel, manganese or zinc isohumolone complex and an alkali metal compound selected from sodium or potassium tripolyphosphate or a mixture of the disodium or dipotassium salt of ethylenediamine tetracetic acid with the tetrasodium or tetrapotassium salt of ethylenediaminetetracetic acid, the molar ratio of the alkali metal compound to the isohumulone present in the water-insoluble isohumulone complex being at least 0.8 to 1. The product can be immediately dissolved in water or an aqueous medium to produce a solution containing no significant amount of insoluble residues. The solution can be used, for example, as a bittering additive for beer.
