Abstract
To provide a water-dispersible carotenoid pigment preparation which can be added to various aqueous compositions with retaining dispersion stability excellent in a wide temperature range, particularly even in a low temperature range, a carotenoid-containing aqueous composition comprising a carotenoid pigment with retaining its dispersion stability in a wide temperature range, and a method of stabilizing a dispersion state of a carotenoid pigment in an aqueous composition in a wide temperature range, a dispersion state of the carotenoid pigment in the aqueous composition is stabilized by adding the carotenoid pigment, the dispersion stability containing the soybean extract fiber as an effective ingredient, and optionally tomato juice to the aqueous composition, and the water-dispersible carotenoid pigment preparation is prepared by blending the carotenoid pigment, and the dispersion stability containing the soybean extract fiber as an effective ingredient.
