Beverage products including at least a tea component, a natural nutritive sweetener present in an amount of at least 8% by weight and Lo Han Guo are provided. Beverage concentrates including at least a tea component, a natural nutritive sweetener present in an amount of at least 48% by weight and Lo Han Guo are also provided.
摘要:
Aspects of the invention relate to beverage compositions, including, for example, concentrated and ready-to-drink formulations sweetened with at least one non-nutritive sweetener and further comprising a bitterant in an amount sufficient to reduce the lingering sweet aftertaste of the non-nutritive sweetener(s). In certain illustrative embodiments, the bitterant comprises gentian. Another aspect of the invention relates to a method that combines a non-nutritive sweetener having a lingering sweet aftertaste with a bitterant to create a mixture such that when the mixture is contained in a beverage, the bitterant is present in an amount sufficient to reduce the lingering sweet aftertaste of the non-nutritive sweetener.

In certain illustrative embodiments, the non-nutritive sweetener(s) may be one or more of the following: a steviol glycoside, Lo Han Guo, thaumatin, monatin, monellin, brazzein, sucralose. Another aspect of the invention relates to a method that combines a non-nutritive sweetener having a lingering sweet aftertaste with a bitterant compound to create a mixture such that when the mixture is contained in a beverage, the bitterant compound is present in an amount sufficient to reduce the lingering sweet aftertaste of the non-nutritive sweetener.
摘要:
Taste of a non-nutritive steviol glycoside sweetener is improved by using anisic acid in an amount sufficient to mask the metallic aftertaste of the non-nutritive steviol glycoside sweetener when the sweetener is contained in a beverage, beverage concentrate or syrup, or reduced calorie sweetener.
摘要:
A combination of a sugar alcohol and D-tagatose is used to produce naturally sweetened, diet beverages or food products. The sugar alcohol and D-tagatose can also be used in combination with one or more nutritive sweeteners to lower the calories of a full-calorie beverage or food product while preserving the taste.

摘要:
A combination of one or more non-nutritive sweeteners, a sugar alcohol and D-tagatose are included in a zero- or low-calorie beverage or food product to achieve a taste substantially similar to that of a full-calorie beverage or food product. The combination is suitable for use in zero- or low-calorie frozen carbonated beverages.
