The present invention aims at providing packed beverages in which the effect of rosmarinic acid for suppressing the fading of dyes is maintained and yet any undesirable flavor that is characteristic of rosemary extracts as exemplified by their undesirable smell or aftertaste is suppressed. To this end, the contents of cineole and camphor are reduced.

A curcumin-containing composition has improved oral absorbability. An oral ingestion composition contains: (A) solid curcumin containing an amorphous body and/or an analog thereof; and (B) a solid water-soluble polymer which becomes viscous in an aqueous medium having a pH of 5 or more.

A drinking straw having an internal coating for delivery of an active agent when the straw is used to consume a beverage is provided. The active agent includes sweetener, flavour, a nutrient and/or a pharmaceutical and optionally colour. The coating is prepared by mixing a modified cellulose with water to form a paste or gel. The coating is then used to coat the inside sur face of a drinking straw to a thickness of up to 1 mm. The coating is dried to reduce the water content to less than 5% by weight. Li quid drawn through the straw breaks down the modified cellulose releasing the active agent into the liquid, for consumption.
