Abstract
Beverages especially suitable for carbonated soft drinks having a pH of from about 2.5 to about 6.5 are disclosed herein. These beverages have a flavor component which contains flavors selected from fruit flavors, botanical flavors and mixtures thereof. These beverages also contain mixtures of calcium and potassium cations, and preferably mixtures of calcium, magnesium and potassium cations, defined by a regression formula. Also included are edible acids selected from citric, malic/succinic and phosphoric acid, and mixtures thereof defined by a second regression formula. These beverages provide desirable flavor impressions in terms of sweetness, body and sourness with minimal bitter or salty off-notes. In addition, concentrates and syrups used to form these beverages have surprising stability against precipitation of insoluble salts.
