Abstract
The present invention relates to stable beverage products. The beverage products of the present invention comprise of an oil-in-water beverage emulsion which comprises an unweighted oil, water and a food grade stabilizer. The ratio of the stabilizer to the unweighted oil within the beverage emulsion is at least about 0.5:1. The mean particle size of the oil droplets present in the emulsion ranges from about 0.10 to about 0.30 microns. The particle size distribution of the oil droplets in the emulsion is such that less than about 3% (volume percent basis) of the particles have a particle size greater than about 0.39 microns and less than about 9% (volume percent basis) of the particles have a particle size of greater than about 0.34 microns The beverage products of the present invention further comprise a fruit juice and/or fruit or other flavor.
