Abstract
The invention is directed to color-stable syrup and beverage compositions fortified with vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which contain an azo food dye, such as FD&C Yellow #6. Riboflavin (vitamin B2) is employed as a color stabilizer and effectively prevents decoloring of the compositions, even upon prolonged periods of storage. The syrup and beverage formulations may optionally contain a glassy sodium polyphosphate, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, niacinamide, folic acid, calcium pantothenate, biotin, flavoring agents, sweeteners, acidic agents, etc.
