The invention belongs to the technical field of food additives and
functional food and particularly relates to a beverage
emulsion with coloring and flavoring functions and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method comprises the following step that 1,
modified starch and hydrophilic
colloid are weighed out according to a certain proportion and dissolved in water with the temperature of 60 DEG C to 80 DEG C, an emulgator and an
antioxidant are added, and a water phase is obtained; 2,
citrus fruit peel oil or fruit oil, edible
vegetable oil and
a weighting agent are weighed out according to a certain proportion, when the mixture is heated to be 140 DEG C to 150 DEG C,
carotenoid is added and fast stirred to be dissolved, an
antioxidant is added after the mixture is cooled, and even stirring is carried out to obtain an
oil phase; 3, at
room temperature, the
oil phase is slowly added to the water phase for high-speed shearing, and a crude
emulsion is obtained; 4, the crude
emulsion is homogenized through a high-pressure
homogenizer, and the beverage emulsion uniform in particle size is obtained. The beverage emulsion is used for food, has multiple functions, can increase the
turbidity of a beverage, and is used for coloring the beverage, and certain fragrance is given to the food.
