Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A composition comprising a bitter tastant and at least one sophorolipid and optionally a carrier; wherein the composition is edible and wherein the bitter taste of said bitter tastant is reduced. A method of reducing bitter taste attributed to a bitter tastant in an edible composition, said method comprising adding to said edible composition an effective amount of at least one sophorolipid and optionally a carrier; such that any bitter taste induced by the bitter tastant is reduced.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. A method of inhibiting or reducing the bitter taste due to a bitter tastant, wherein the method comprises placing in the oral cavity of a subject an effective amount of a composition comprising at least one sophorolipid and optionally a carrier; wherein said sophorolipid is selected from the group consisting of C16-SL, C18-SL, C18:1-SL, and mixtures thereof. 2. A method of reducing bitter taste attributed to a bitter tastant in an edible composition, said method comprising adding to said edible composition an effective amount of at least one sophorolipid and optionally a carrier; such that any bitter taste induced by the bitter tastant is reduced; wherein said sophorolipid is selected from the group consisting of C16-SL, C18-SL, C18:1-SL, and mixtures thereof. 3. A method of inhibiting, reducing, or eliminating a bitter taste in a subject, said method comprising placing in the oral cavity of the subject an effective amount of at least one sophorolipid and optionally a carrier; wherein said sophorolipid is selected from the group consisting of C16-SL, C18-SL, C18:1-SL, and mixtures thereof. 4. A method of inhibiting a bitter taste receptor, said method comprising contacting the bitter taste receptor with a composition comprising an effective amount of at least one sophorolipid and optionally a carrier; wherein said sophorolipid is selected from the group consisting of C16-SL, C18-SL, C18:1-SL, and mixtures thereof. 5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said sophorolipid is C18:1-SL. 6. The method according to claim 2 , wherein said sophorolipid is C18:1-SL. 7. The method according to claim 3 , wherein said sophorolipid is C18:1-SL. 8. The method according to claim 4 , wherein said sophorolipid is C18:1-SL. 9. The method of claim 2 , wherein said edible composition is a food product. 10. The method of claim 9 , wherein said sophorolipid is C18:1-SL.
