✦ Synopsis

Red beet pigments were used, in the form of industrially produced concentrate, as a soft drink colorant instead of food dyestuffs. On the basis of sensoric analysis, optimal composition of fruit type soft drink was suggested. Beet concentrate in the concentration used (2.5 g per 100 g of drink) did influence neither taste nor flavour of drink.

Decomposition of red pigments -betacyaninsfollows the first order kinetics. Factors influencing colour stability, such as pH value, temperature, tight, ascorbic acid concentration and flavour components, are discussed.

Beet colorant was tested for mutagenic activity in five S. typhimurium strains. The absence of mutagenic activity was found with or without S-9 rat liver fractions. Groups of six rats were fed red beet colorant preparations containing 2,000 ppm betalains in the diet for 7 days. No significant diffe
