Abstract
A method for increasing the concentration of solubilized terpene compounds in liquids is disclosed, as well as liquid, beverage or microemulsion compositions containing terpenes and more polar flavor compounds. The compositions include terpene compounds, which are useful flavoring agents, and the disclosed methods and compositions allow a suitable level of terpenes for flavoring purposes while providing haze- and cloud-free final beverages that do not form an undesirable separate oil phase.
