Abstract
Storage-stable, citrus-flavored compositions comprising citral or a citral derivative as the flavoring agent and a plant extract as the stabilizing agent. The plant extract inhibits the formation of p-methylacetophenone, thereby preventing the development of off-flavors and off odors, and increasing the shelf life of the composition.
