SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a method for dispersion and stabilisation of a flavonoid, insoluble in water, in liquid medium. The method involves the following stages: a) solubilisation of a flavonoid insoluble in water, in the form of microparticles, in a hot alcohol solution or in an alkali solution or in their combination or dispersion of a flavonoid insoluble in water, in the form of microparticles, in a hot alcohol solution and b) introduction of a solubilised or dispersed flavonoid in the from of particles into a water solution containing at least one dispersion stabiliser. The dispersion stabiliser is present in a quantity sufficient for suspending the flavonoid insoluble in water, in the from of microparticles, in the beverage. Alcohol concentration in the hot alcohol solution is within the range of 85-99 wt % at a temperature of 50 - 200°C. The ready beverage has pH equal to less than 6. One additionally proposes a comestible composition containing the said flavonoid in the form of microparticles.

EFFECT: invention allows to produce beverage compositions containing dispersed and stabilised flavonoids insoluble in water in the form of microparticles.
