ACTA Scientiarum Polonorum

Abstract: Addition of anti-oxidative agents into the liqueurs (particularly 0.1% tocopherol) contributes to the reduction of compounds responsible for the product’s colour (mainly carotenoids) determined by spectrophotometric means. However, applied modification does not completely inhibit the Advocaate’s browning during storage. Components formed during non-enzymatic browning, as a result of Maillard’s reaction, are the reason of liqueur’s negative colour change. An emulsion prepared from sodium soap, plant oil, distilled water and methyl orange may be a proper standard of egg liqueur colour.
