Abstract
Acidified beverages are prepared including an oligosaccharide such as inulin or oligofructose and a high intensity sweetener. In the acidic environment of the beverage, suitable oligosaccharides hydrolyze to their sweeter components, thus compensating for loss of high intensity sweetener due to its decomposition over time.
