Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Consumables comprising cyclamate and a steviol glycoside sweetener or mogroside sweetener are provided herein, wherein cyclamate, when present in an amount at or below its sweetness recognition threshold concentration, enhances the sweetness of and, optionally, improves the sweetness profile the sweetener, thereby providing a consumable that tastes more like a sucrose-sweetened consumable. Methods of enhancing the sweetness of a consumable, methods of making a consumable taste more like a sucrose-sweetened consumable and methods of preparing consumables are also detailed herein.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1 . A method of preparing a beverage with enhanced sweetness comprising: (i) providing a beverage comprising a steviol glycoside sweetener comprising at least about 50% rebaudioside M by weight on a dry basis; (ii) adding from about 1 ppm to about 200 ppm cyclamate to the beverage to provide a beverage with enhanced sweetness. 2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the steviol glycoside sweetener is a steviol glycoside blend. 3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the steviol glycoside sweetener is present in the beverage with enhanced sweetness in a concentration from about 50 ppm to about 600 ppm. 4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the beverage with enhanced sweetness has one or more of the following attributes: less bitterness, less bitter linger, less sourness, less astringency, less saltiness, less metallic notes, less licorice notes, better mouthfeel, less sweetness linger or improved sweetness onset, when compared to a corresponding beverage without the cyclamate. 5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the beverage with enhanced sweetness has a sucrose equivalence of at least about 5%. 6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the beverage is selected from the group consisting of a zero-calorie beverage, a low-calorie beverage and a mid-calorie beverage.
