BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for stabilizing ascorbic acid, which can suppress browning of products containing ascorbic acid or its salts and improve the flavor thereof.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Ascorbic acid and its salts are also called vitamin C because they are anti-scurvy factors and are used as health medicines. Recently, a large number of functional foods, drinks, cosmetics, etc. containing vitamin C, that is, ascorbic acid or its salt, have been manufactured and sold, and the market for these products is expanding.

However, products containing ascorbic acid or its salts turn brown over time due to a series of chemical reactions involving ascorbic acid, resulting in deterioration in appearance. Furthermore, in the case of food and drink products, there is a problem in that they exhibit a drug-like flavor derived from ascorbic acid or its salt.

[0004] Conventionally, in order to prevent browning of products, antioxidants (erythorbic acid, polyphosphoric acid, etc.) or chelating agents have been used in the food and beverage field as additives that inhibit the chemical reaction of ascorbic acid. (EDTA) etc. are added to products. Furthermore, in order to improve the drug-like flavor, various acidulants such as citric acid, tartaric acid, and malic acid are added.

However, in the case of food and drink products, among the additives that have the effect of suppressing browning, it is not desirable to add chemically synthesized products to products because of recent consumers' preference for natural products. Furthermore, additives derived from natural substances may not have the expected effects, or even if they do have effects, the substances are expensive and the manufacturing cost of the product increases. Also,
Citric acid and the like added to improve flavor have almost no effect on suppressing browning.

[0006] Thus, until now, no method has been found that is effective in suppressing browning of products containing ascorbic acid or its salts and also improves the flavor thereof.
