Synthetically-sweetened carbonated beverages additive - to reduce after-taste and the formation of a sweet coating in the mouth

摘要

A carbonated, sweetened beverage having a pH of 2.5-5.0 contains =0.5 wt. of a dipeptide (i.e the methyl ester of L-apartyl-L-phenylalamine or its salt) (I) and 10 wt. % demineralised, low-lactose, acid-sol. milk protein (II). The incorpn of (II) overcomes previous objections to such artificially-sweetened (fruit) beverages, i.e their characteristic after-paste adn the accumulation of a sweet coating on the rear gum portions in the mouth.
