A process for removing color, turbidity, flavor, and odor from impure sugar syrups by entrapping the sugar impurities in an insoluble, primary calcium phosphate or aluminum hydroxide floc at about neutral pH, adding a suitable amount of hydrogen peroxide, rapidly decomposing the hydrogen peroxide with catalase to form a quantity of oxygen bubbles, and, during bubble formation, adding a polyelectrolyte to convert the primary floc into a secondary floc in which the oxygen bubbles are entrapped thereby causing flotation. The purified sugar syrup is then filtered with or without activated carbon and small amounts of a filter aid to produce a sugar syrup with substantially reduced color, turbidity, flavor, and odor.

A process for removing color, turbidity, flavor, and odor from impure, high Brix, sugar syrup involves entrapping the sugar impurities in an insoluble, primary calcium phosphate or aluminum hydroxide floc at about neutral pH, dividing the sugar syrup into a small portion and a large portion, aerating the small portion of the syrup at a specific Brix, recombining the small portion and the large portion, adding a polyelectrolyte to convert the primary floc into a secondary floc to which the air bubbles easily adhere and to cause flotation of said secondary floc, thus forming a scum mat at the top of the vessel. The purified sugar syrup is then filtered with or without activated carbon and small amounts of a filter aid to produce a sugar syrup with substantially reduced color, turbidity, flavor, and odor. The sugar in the scum is recovered by mixing it with water and allowing a second flotation to take place without any further aeration or chemicals addition.

High methoxyl pectin is added to an already prepared yogurt to produce a substantially physically and microbiologically stable liquid yogurt. Said pectin is dispersed and dissolved in said yogurt in a manner which avoids the need for high pressure homogenization and subsequent heat treatment thereof to eliminate contaminants.

Tea compositions having improved color and flavor are produced by adding water-soluble aluminum salt(s) to the compositions or precursors during any stage of the manufacture up to the point of consumption, or even by coating or spraying the tea leaves prior to plucking and processing. Enhanced characteristics obtained as a result of this addition include increased redness and brightness and improved flavor.
